"I've figured out the lyrics. It's I want to hold your hand." Carina said looking through binoculars out the window of the empty apartment they rented. It had a clear view from on high of another apartment newly occupied by Jill who was singing while playing guitar.

Sarah replied as she took a chip from the nearby bowl. "You know, I bet these songs are code. I bet someone else is listening to these songs. One of the Beatles was assassinated. Perhaps shes planning an assassination."

Carina stepped back from the window and said with a lack of enthusiasm. "I bet that's it." She took some chips from the miniature picnic they had set up. "I don't get it. You have access to that apartment. Why not just bug the place?"

Sarah replied, "She showed off to her friends this fancy computer which was given to her from Chuck's dad. It automatically detects surveillance devices."

Carina sat down. She was not as determined to show that Jill was up to something, but humoring Sarah at the moment seemed like it was the best course of action. "You really want rid of this girl don't you?"

Sarah replied, "You know there are two things about her being here that really suck. First of all, I don't want to kill her and she knows it."

Carina said, "Why don't you want to kill her?"

Sarah replied, "A number of reasons. Firstly I praise Chuck for not wanting to kill Shaw. Even at her worst, Jill is not Shaw. How hypocritical would that be? Is she done with "Hold your Hand?"

Carina looked again through the binoculars and said, "Uh-huh. I don't recognize the lyrics of the new song though."

Sarah took the binoculars and looked and said, "It's "Still Alive". The ending theme from the video game, "Portal".

Carina said, "I take it your boy likes that game, otherwise you wouldn't know that."

Sarah replied as if Carina had said nothing, "Secondly, Chuck clearly cares for her on some levels, and the agencies position is she is not a threat. Even if I manage to avoid suspicion, and not get dumped and-or burned. I will have to lie about it for the rest of my life. I am not looking forward to that. Thirdly if she is working for someone else she is the best lead I have on who that is, and she is a much better lead alive then dead. Lastly and most importantly is that after she got the drop on me a few nights ago, she let me go. Her friend saw me attack her. She had me completely at her mercy. She could have had me arrested. Heck, she could have killed me and claimed self defense."

Carina replied, "How did she get the drop on you anyway? You're you."

Sarah sighed and said, "Partly because I didn't take into account the possibility of civilian interference, and partly because I was only trying to scare her into revealing her secrets. I also admit I don't know what she's capable of. From what I can tell up until college, she was always excellent at everything she did. I get the feeling that when she says shes only an average spy, she is either lying or just being very modest. What's she playing now?"

Carina looked into her binoculars and replied, "Somebody to love."

Sarah continued, "She's either an excellent spy or she knows I don't want to kill her. She has been looking at me completely without fear."

Carina settled back down, "Maybe she doesn't know what you're capable of."

Sarah stuffed some potato chips into her mouth and says, "Trust me. She knows. She showed me this bio of me she compiled for preparation purposes. God help me. She knows about what I did in Nicaragua."

Carina replied, "Really? I am astounded she isn't afraid of you now. You said there was a second reason that your life sucks with her around."

Sarah buried her head in her hands and cried, "Of all the types of people she could be. She could be an intellectual, or a jock or even a slut. Why did she have to be such a GEEK?"

Carina said, "You have a problem with that? Chucks a geek. Were you not aware of this?"

Sarah lifted her head up and said, "I hate that because the day before yesterday she stopped by for a friendly visit. Let me make one thing clear. Whenever Chuck spends time with Morgan, I take the opportunity to leave them alone and do my own thing. Obviously I can't leave Roberts alone with Chuck so I couldn't do that. Chuck and Roberts talked about video games for TWO HOURS! Oh they tried to include me in the conversation, I'll grant them that, but I had absolutely nothing to say. You know where Chuck is right now? During that visit Roberts was astounded that Chuck had never played the game Bully, and as a present bought it on Steam for him, as a late birthday present. He's playing it right now. I have never been able to talk to Chuck for two hours on any one topic. I have never been able to talk to anyone for two hours on any one topic. Bottom line, I felt like I was the third wheel. I shouldn't feel like the third wheel."

Carina shrugged and said, "Have you talked to your boy about this?"

Sarah replied, "What would I say? Is talking about video games somehow a crime?"

Carina picked up the binoculars and took another look. She said, "She seems to have some visitors. Several men, trained agents by the look of it."

Sarah smiled, "Jackpot! What are they doing?"

Carina continued, "Hold on. I can see who is in charge. Mean looking guy."

Sarah grabbed the binoculars and looked through. As she looked Carina gave a smirk as Sarah's smile transformed into a frown. She said, "It's Casey."

Carina smirked and said, "Did I lie?"

Sarah looked again and said, "It looks like they are installing a security system into that apartment."

Carina said, "I bet with a surveillance system so that apartment can be monitored from castle. That would make this stake-out redundant, wouldn't it?"

Sarah sighed and said, "Yes. Wait, Casey is handing some papers to Roberts. She's looking at them. She's calling someone on her phone." As if on cue, the two heard a cell-phone ringing. Sarah and Carina pulled out their phones and Carina said, "She's calling me." She picked up her phone but turned up the volume so Sarah could hear it. She said, "Miller, Secure."

Jill said over the phone, "Agent Miller, this is Dr. Jill Roberts. I take it you know who I am?"

Carina said, "Uh-huh."

Jill continued, "I am relaying new orders from General Beckman for you. The chemical formula I created has just been approved for human testing. General Beckman has decided that since you are in the area anyway, you will be a perfectly suitable test subject. Oh, if Agent Walker has any misgivings about me testing drugs on you, the testing will be monitored by agents hand-picked by Beckman. When we get back from Paris, report to the lab the agency is setting up for me."

Carina replied, "You're going to Paris?"

Jill replied, "Agent Walker didn't tell you? We're going to Paris. I'll see you after then."

Jill hung up, and Carina asked Sarah, "You're going to Paris?"

Sarah said, "Yeah, Roberts is transferring over to Chuck control of his Dad's secret Parisian bank account. We set it up with Beckman as planned. She says there is about twenty mil in there. Well, we're not going to find out anything tonight. Let's take off."

Carina said as the gathered their things, "Alright. You realize that I by going along with this, I'm just humoring you. I don't really suspect Roberts of anything right now."

Sarah said with an air of defeat, "Really? Even if she is who she says she is, she is threatening my relationship."

Carina replied, "If she is who she says she is, I think her response to you pointing a gun at her head unprovoked to be kinda tame. Bottom line, this woman by doing practically nothing is turning you into a bit of a lunatic. I want you to realize that if she is trying to break up you and your boy, that's exactly what she wants."

The next day Chuck, Sarah, Ellie, Devon and Jill was sitting down in the plane to Paris. Sarah said to Chuck, "So Chuck I was thinking we see the Eiffel tower first and go to the bank in the after..."

Sarah was interrupted by the PA saying, "Attention passengers it is now acceptable to use approved portable electronic devices."

Chuck said, "That sounds good, Sarah. Can we talk about plans later. Jill and I planned a Street Fighter rematch for this trip. Chuck and Jill reached into their bags and each pulled out a Nintendo 3DS. He then said, "So Jill what do you think about the 3DS?"

Sarah screamed inside her own mind.
