Chapter 4
No I don't own Chuck.
Thanks for all the reviews so far. This story is kind of taking on a life of its own, I know the setup is taking a while but hang in there we will see it begin to move along soon.
Morgan looked around with a shocked look on his face, "My Anna is a spy in training??"
Beckman nodded, "Agent Casey submitted her for review a while back. She was approached to join the NSA. Originally we looked at her as a possible replacement for Agent Walker in case the fact that she was compromised put the Intersect in danger. So we agreed to her condition that she would join as long as she was allowed to continue her relationship with you. Her placement would have allowed her to assimilate into the team seamlessly. When it became evident that Agent Walker was integral to the success of the mission we changed focus to train her to expand on the Intersect mission."
Beckman looked at Morgan, "We still want her to become part of the team. But we have also come to realize that you could also play a part in the new team. A couple of our analysts have become quite enamored with you. They seem to think that you have a natural talent for strategic planning and mission support. We would like to offer you the chance to join Anna in her training and become an analyst for the NSA. Your focus would be mission planning and surveillance."
Morgan shook his head as if to clear the cobwebs, "Wait so let me get this right. My best friend is a spy, so is my girlfriend, and you want me to become one as well??? Not to step on your toes Devon but this is awesome!!! Of course I'm in."
Beckman turned back to Chuck, "Well now that that is settled and everyone is on board. I've said this to you before but I'm going to say it again. We are at war here, a war that hardly anyone will ever know about. And as I said before I think that the outcome of this war will rest squarely on your shoulders Chuck. This team has always been somewhat unorthodox in nature. And the additions we have made only expand on that."
Beckman's lips quirked up in what could almost be a smile, "But even as unorthodox as this team has always been I cannot argue with the fact that your results have always spoken for themselves. You will be in more danger than ever as you continue with this mission. We have no idea just how far the Ring's influence extends, nor whom we can trust in any branch of the intelligence community. So I've done the only thing that makes sense. I've helped you form a team that you can trust without hesitation. Agent Walker have you made a decision?"
Sarah handed Beckman a folder, "Yes General I have."
Beckman flipped through the folder for a moment, "Good choice Agent Walker. I was hoping you would choose this one." Beckman took all of the folders and put them back in her briefcase, "Agent Walker you will leave at 0800 to set up the the new operation. Your new identity will be waiting for you at your hotel room."
Beckman turned to Ellie and Devon, "You two will leave on an extended honeymoon that you will say has been provided by your father as a going away present. After approximately 2 weeks Agent Casey will make contact with you. You will be provided with your new identities and your deaths will be staged. You will then rendezvous with Agent Walker at the Alpha site."
Beckman turned to Chuck, "You will stay at home for the next two weeks under the care of two of my own personal protection team. With Walker and Casey out of the picture we believe that you will be regarded as no longer useful to the intelligence community. After hearing of the death of your sister you will spend 2 to 3 days convincing anyone that may be watching you that you are extremely depressed. I recommend copious amounts of drinking in some bar somewhere. As soon as he can Agent Casey will extract you and your suicide will be staged. You will then rendezvous with Agent walker and the Doctors and assume the new persona that Agent Walker will have set up for you."
Beckman turned to Morgan last, "You will receive an offer, in the mail, to attend a culinary academy to train to be a Benihana chef. You will say your goodbyes and leave by the end of the week. You will rendezvous with Agent-in-Training Anna Wu where you will undergo testing and preliminary evaluation for your analyst position. At some point Agent Casey will extract you, provide you with your new identities, and you will rendezvous with the rest of the team."
Beckman stepped back to address the entire team, "I want to personally thank you all for the sacrifices you are making in this mission. I will brief you on the next phase as soon as we are assembled at the new site. Now I'm sure that you all would like to discuss things amongst yourselves for a moment. I have to catch a flight back to D.C." With that said Beckman walked out of Castle without even a simple goodbye the two agents who had come in with her stayed behind.
The group talked for a bit filling in some parts of the last 2 years for a while. Chuck made it a point to explain to Ellie what really happened at Devon's bachelor party. Devon let slip that he had known that Chuck was a spy for a short time and went from being forgiven to getting the 'Ellie Evil Eye' again. But eventually things were smoothed over.
Morgan decided that he needed some time to himself to absorb everything. He gave Chuck a hug as he was saying goodbye, "Call of Duty marathon tommorow?" Chuck nodded, "You know it buddy."
Casey shook hands around and welcomed the new members to the team, "I'm going to get some sleep so I can pack up Castle to be moved tomorrow. Here I think you'll need these." Casey finished with a laugh as he handed Chuck a couple of military issue hi energy bars.
Chuck tried to joke off his embarassment, "You guys really need to get a better teacher for the comedy portion of agent training." Chuck grinned at the group, "So any other questions you would like to ask before I head off to spend the last evening I will have with my girlfriend for the next few weeks?"
Ellie looked up, "You guys really don't have to worry about the cover relationship any longer do you?"
Sarah pulled herself tight against Chuck before replying, "What cover relationship?"
Ellie smiled hugely as Devon gave Chuck a high five, "Awesome bro."
Chuck looked down at Sarah, "Believe me, I know."
