A special thanks to Coreymon77, you were my first review ever and you've stuck with all of my stories! Thanks! :) Hope you guys enjoy this one! A lot of you were confused with this chapter, so I suggest you re-read my changes that I just made!
She had kicked her own sister out. Who does that? She had just promised her parents that she wouldn't let her leave, and she broke that promise in less than five minutes. She had to find Molly. Somehow, she would. Sarah sighed and turned over onto her left side to look at her clock. It was 10:30am on Saturday morning. Katie Ballinger was filling in for her today, as it was Sarah's day off. She pried her eyes open, and forced herself into the kitchen. Today was going to be long, she could already tell.
Once Katelyn had left, Chuck had forced himself back to sleep. He was going to spend the day with Morgan, who had originally thought of the idea. They needed a break from the business for a day. Chuck had just gotten out of the shower when his phone rang.
"Hello?" He answered.
"Yo, buddy! It's me!" Morgan sounded enthused on the other line.
"Hey Morgan." Chuck laughed.
"Come open the door." Then he hung up. Chuck pulled his phone from his ear and shook his head. He slowly walked up to the door, opening it carefully. "Jeesh! About time." Morgan threw his hands in the air while walking in.
"Yeah, sure, please come in." Chuck laughed.
"Where's my girly?" Morgan asked, looking around.
"She just left for the carnival downtown." Chuck made his way into the kitchen for some coffee, and Morgan followed.
"Alright. So it's just you and me today then." Morgan smiled at his best friend and brother-in-law.
"Okay buddy." Chuck smiled back after he was done pouring his cup. "Where do you want to go?"
"We should take your Ferrari into LA and hang out at the Comic Convention down there!" Morgan had obviously been planning this for a long time already. Chuck laughed hard at his friend.
"Okay. Sounds like a plan." Chuck's phone started to ring, and he answered.
"Hello?"
"Bartowski? This is Casey." John Casey was Chuck's lawyer. He rarely called, but they were still good friends.
"Hey, what's up?"
"We have a problem. I need to meet you at your office." Casey was rough.
"Uh, okay...how bad are we talking?" Chuck asked nervously.
"Pretty bad Chuck."
"Okay, me and Morgan are heading there now." He hung up.
"What? Are you serious?"
"That was Casey, Morgan. Something's wrong." They left the house and jumped in Chuck's car. They were going to find out what was wrong.
Devon had invited Sarah to the carnival downtown, and she accepted. Being inside on a gorgeous Saturday morning wasn't something that Sarah liked. She loved the outdoors; she loved to go on runs everyday to just look at the scenery. She had put on a dark blue tank top, shorts that stopped mid-thigh and blue flip-flops. Her blonde hair was curled, and a pair of black sunglasses covered her shocking eyes. She met up with her ex at the Elephant Ear booth, and found him eating one already when she got there.
"Sorry, I didn't have any breakfast." He smiled, with his mouth full. Sarah smiled at his attractiveness. Being with him brought back memories for sure. She knew she was stupid for agreeing to come here with him, and she knew she was going to feel something for him, but she wasn't going back to her old self. She wouldn't.
"Not a problem. Just don't throw up on me when we hit the roller coasters." She laughed. They walked around for a few hours, after buying wristbands. Sarah felt like a teenager again, as that was the main age group in line for all of the rides. Devon made her feel alive, he made her feel un-stressed, and that's why she had loved him so much. But had she really loved him? For a long time, she thought she did. But that's one of the main reasons she broke up with him. She hadn't loved him; their relationship was more physical than emotional. And she needed to remember that. They arrived at the biggest roller coaster in the park; The Ring of Fire.
"Oh, uh, I can't go on that." Devon coughed.
"Why not? Too scared?" She asked.
"Yes. Definitely too scared." He nodded with a gulp.
"Seriously? You could probably lift that thing." She looked to his muscular arms.
"No chance in hell."
"Fine, I guess I'll just go on it myself." Sarah smiled.
"Please don't die."
"Oh c'mon Devon! It's just a ride." She shook her head and walked over to the line.
"No dad, I have one more ride left. Please!" Sarah heard a voice behind her and glanced at it quickly. A tall teenager with long brown hair was pleading with her father over the phone. "I'm not alone! No, my friend Taylor is here. You've never met Taylor? Uh, here say hi." The girl looked around and spotted Sarah looking at her. She covered her phone for a second. "Could you please say hi into my phone for me?" The girl looked desperate.
"Sure." Sarah replied. The girl handed her phone over and Sarah spoke into it. "Hi." The girl took it back instantly and talked to her father again.
"See? She's here! Now we have to go. Bye! Love you!" The girl hung up. "Oh my god, thank you so much!" She stuck out her hand. "I'm Katelyn." The girl smiled.
"Sarah." Sarah stuck out her own hand.
"You don't happen to have a partner for this one do you? I hate heights but I made a bet with my friend that I would ride every ride here." Katelyn said. The line moved closer.
"No, I don't actually. My friend is chicken." She pointed to Devon who was sitting next to a puking child on a nearby bench. Katelyn laughed.
"Seriously? He's afraid?"
"Yeah, I was surprised myself." Sarah laughed back.
"Some hot friend you have there. The word 'boy' wouldn't happen to be in front of that, would it?"
"No. We're just friends. Co-Workers actually."
"NEXT!" Bellowed the carnie who was working the ride.
"I won't die right?" Katelyn asked Sarah.
"Not on my watch." Sarah replied. She had just made a friend, but she didn't know just exactly how important this friend would become.
"Sue us?" Chuck asked in disbelief.
"Apparently Apple is saying you stole their idea of an app for the new iPhone 5s." Casey whipped out his legal papers.
"How is that possible? Wouldn't they have it under tight security?" Morgan was just as mad as Chuck.
"They think one of there employee's stole the software and sold it to you."
"That makes no sense!" Chuck threw his arms up in the air and then buried his face in them.
"I know. But don't worry; I've got you guys covered. After I'm done talking with them, they won't even think about pressing charges." Casey said calmly.
"Yeah? And what are you planning on saying?" Morgan asked this time.
"That we'll give them your top app." Casey said.
"WHAT!" Chuck couldn't contain himself any longer.
"That's the only way to keep this from going into a worse situation."
"By giving them our best seller? I don't think so!"
"Do you want a huge lawsuit? You could lose everything Bartowski. Think about it." Casey gathered his things, clicked his briefcase together, and left.
"Oh boy." Morgan sighed.
"Can you go pick up Katelyn? I have a few things I need to do here." Chuck asked his friend.
"Sure buddy. Can I take the Ferrari?"
"Of course." Chuck replied. Morgan bounded out of the office, and Chuck sighed hard.
"That was so much fun!" Katelyn yelled after getting off the ride.
"See, I told you." Sarah smiled at her. Katelyn's phone started buzzing.
"Sorry I have to take this." She answered her iPhone. "Hey. You're coming to pick me up? Why isn't dad? Oh, I see. Okay, see you when you get here!" She hung up.
"Everything okay?"
"Yeah, my dad has some business to take care of so my uncle is coming to get me instead."
"Oh, okay."
"Thanks again for helping me cover. I had fun, even though you're a stranger." Katelyn smiled again.
"No problem. Bye!" Sarah smiled again too, and watched the young girl leave. It wasn't like her to talk to kids, and seem like a creeper, but this girl had been different.
"Who was that?" Devon asked as he walked up to her.
"Someone who is braver than you." She laughed at him. She tried to unlock her phone, but it wouldn't work. She needed to check her emails to see if the station had called her. They always did on her days off. "Uh, I have to go...I had fun though! See you Monday?" She started to walk away.
"You bet!" He called after her. As Sarah jumped in her car, she started to freak out. She needed her phone. it had her whole schedule in it. And Molly might have called her. An idea suddenly clicked in her mind. She searched frantically in her purse and eventually pulled out a business card. She couldn't call Chuck, so she saw the address to the building and headed straight there.
45 Minutes Later
"Mr. Bartowski, there's someone here that needs to see you." Sienna said over the intercom on his office phone. Chuck pressed the reply button.
"Yeah. Send him in." The door opened slowly, and a smiling Sarah Walker stepped in. Chuck was surely surprised.
"Sarah! Hi!" Chuck frantically tried to clean off his desk.
"You don't need to clean. I just need some help." Sarah replied.
"Sure, with what?"
"My phone isn't working, and you're a big tech guy...so I thought maybe you could fix it?" She asked politely.
"Yeah, absolutely!" He took Sarah's iPhone4s and examined it. "You just have to restart it..." He held the power button and turned it off, and then did the same again to turn it back on. He tried a few apps, and downloaded the data restore app for her. "If it happens again, just bring in it to me and I'll help ya out." He smiled.
"Thanks." She smiled back. "Are you doing anything?"
"Actually, I just got slammed with a lawsuit and I need to sign a bunch of paperwork..." He trailed when he saw her face drop. "...but if you wanted to go grab some lunch or something, I could use a break." Sarah's face perked up again.
"Really? A lawsuit sounds pretty important."
"Well, I can always come back to it." Chuck stood up from his desk. "Where do you feel like going?"
"I heard that the Bamboo Dragon is pretty good." She replied.
"Yeah, the sizzling shrimp is to die for!" Chuck grabbed his coat, and walked out of his office with the beautiful Valkyrie he had been dreaming of just the night before.
