Okay, so sorry for the delay. I have rewritten this chapter many times. I am finally happy with it, sort of. I love developing stories on the fly and see where it leads me. I'm just having a hard time creatively due to work. Please review. I'm open to ideas of where to take the story. I will try and do better. Also, for other fanfic writers of Chuck, I love your stories, please keep updating them.

Time passed slowly for Chuck over the next two weeks. He felt he was being watched – in the grocery store, in a restaurant, and in the gym. Sarah had not shown up like Casey had said she would. He knew she had to be in town. He felt it. One day at work, he decided to do some recon on his own. Being the intersect for so long, he had gotten good at spy work. Amber walked into his office to deliver some messages she had taken. Chuck was sitting at his desk staring at his computer, when she touched his shoulder. Chuck shot straight up out of his chair.

"Chuck, here are your messages. I'm leaving for the day." Amber asked.

"Oh. Thanks, Amber." Chuck asked. "I'm just really busy."

Chuck thumbed through his messages. He didn't notice any were emergencies.

"Chuck, you haven't left this office all day. You need to get out for some fresh air. Go walk around the park or something? Or just go home and play video games." Amber pushed.

Chuck looked back at his computer.

"Chuck?" Amber asked.

Chuck shook his head, "What? I'm sorry, Amber. You know what, you're right. I'm done for the day too. Let me walk you out. I've got some things I need to do at home anyway." He grabbed his coat from his coat rack.

Chuck and Amber walked out of the building together into the parking lot. Chuck had his hand on the small of Amber's back and looked around for anything unusual.

"Chuck, thanks for walking me to my car." She gave him a hug when they made it to her car.

"Any time. I can't let anything happen to my favorite employee." Chuck said with a smile.

"I'll see you on Monday. Have a good weekend." Amber said as she got in the car. Chuck closed the door and waved. He walked to his car across the parking lot and as he was walking, he looked at all of the cars in the parking lot for anything suspicious. He made a mental note of all of the cars in the parking lot and noticed he hadn't seen the black Porsche in the parking lot before.

He decided to walk over to the car and just look inside casually. He didn't notice anything unusual until he heard a voice, "Is there something I can help you with?" Chuck turned around really quick.

"No, I'm just walking to my car over there." Chuck turned around and spoke the lady. "A friend of mine used to have a Porsche just like this."

"I got it about a year and a half ago at a government auction. I got it for such a great deal." The lady explained.

"Well, sorry to bother. Have a good weekend." Chuck expressed.

"You too."

Chuck made it to his car and drove home. When he got home, he changed into his sweats and went to his home office to look out the window. He looked out the window and noticed a Miata drive down the street and stop at a house two doors down. No one got out of the car. He decided to go out for a run around his neighborhood and investigate. He was grabbing his IPod when the doorbell rang. He went to the door to open it.

"I was just about to go out for a run. Maybe you can come back later." Chuck explained as he walked past her and put his ear plugs in his ears and turned on his IPod. He took off running.

Sarah turned around and watched Chuck start running. She said to herself out loud, "This is going to be interesting" She yelled after Chuck, "I'LL BE HERE WHEN YOU GET BACK." She sat on the step to his porch and waited and waited and waited.

After four hours of waiting, Sarah got up and was about to leave when the front door opened up. "It's getting cold." Chuck started to walk inside.

Sarah got up and watched Chuck walk further inside his house. "Are you coming inside?"

Sarah walked into the house and followed Chuck. "How did you get inside?"

"I have a back door." Chuck said as he grabbed a beer out of the refrigerator. "Beer or water?"

"Water, please." Chuck grabbed it and handed it to Sarah as she stood in the door of the kitchen.

Chuck walked into the den and Sarah followed. "I assume you came here to talk. So talk or are you going to just watch me walk around my house?"

Sarah took a sip of her water, "Well, I'm not quite sure what to say now that I'm here. I've rehearsed this conversation for the past month. But for some reason, I don't know where to start."

"Let me help you." He turned and walked over to Sarah and looked her in the eyes coldly. "Why don't you explain to me exactly why I woke up one morning and your side of the bed was empty? Why don't you explain to me why after almost a year and a half you decide to come back? That's a good place to start I think."

Sarah looked down at the floor and then back at Chuck with tears in her eyes. "I made a huge mistake leaving. When I realized there was nothing standing in our way to be together, I freaked out. I felt like I was being suffocated, so I left."

Chuck walked away from her and went to look out on his patio, "Glad to know I have that effect on you. Sarah, I was freaking out too. I didn't know who I was after being the Intersect for four and a half years. I thought we could figure everything out together. Don't worry though, I figured it out on my own."

"Chuck, I came back because I love you. I've always loved you. I want to spend the rest of my life with you." Sarah pleaded.

"Well, I don't love you anymore. I moved on, so should you." Chuck spouted back.

"Oh, right. Casey says you have a girlfriend. Where is she by the way? Is she the brunette that you work with? You are very protective of her from what I've seen. You always had a thing for brunettes." Sarah fought back.

"I knew you were spying on me. How long have you been in town?" Chuck retorted.

"I've been in town for two months," Sarah explained.

"So you sent Casey to see what I had been up to? I knew it. I think you should leave." Chuck said as he walked toward the front door.

Sarah watched Chuck as he opened the door and avoided eye contact with her. Sarah walked up to him. He grabbed his face into her hands and forced him to look at her. "You better tell your girlfriend that I'm in town." She released his face and walked towards her car. Chuck watched her leave and prayed he had enough willpower.
