A/N: Ok I know that last chapter was bit sucky to say the least, I just couldn't get what I wanted to happen in words correctly, I must have re done it like 50 times before I finally gave up, now it will start to pick up.

Sarah and the team raced out of the car to the apartment, praying Chuck was still alive, however a low moan stopped everyone in their tracks.

"Ellie!" Sarah cried, rushing over to the older woman who laid almost unconscious against the fountain. "Ellie stay awake! Casey call 911!"

As Casey did as he was told, Carina and Bryce ran to search the apartment, leaving Sarah to tend to her soon to be sister in law.

"Ellie, come on sweetie, I need you to talk to me." Sarah pleaded, knowing this was not a good sign.

"Chuck…" Ellie groaned out, her eyes distant, her breathing ragged.

Sarah looked down to assess the wound in the doctor's leg, she was losing a lot of blood.

"Casey we need a cover story." Sarah ordered, trying to make sense of everything. "Ellie what about Chuck, where is he?"

"The woman…" Ellie groaned out.

"What woman Ellie? What happened?" Sarah pleaded, knowing Ellie was just minutes from passing out.

"She…she said you were friends, Chuck fought…but when she shot me…and then she took him." Ellie mumbled.

"Ellie what was her name?" Sarah demanded, hearing the sirens of an ambulance off in the distance. "Come on Ellie, I need to know her name!"

"Cooper…Something Cooper." Ellie replied, before passing out cold on.

"Dammit!" Sarah screamed.

Chuck awoke handcuffed to a ceiling, his wrists chaffed from the metal, his arms tired from hanging.

"Not again…why do I always get kidnapped." Chuck groaned, looking around trying to search for anything that could help him escape.

"Maybe because you are the most useless agent around Bartowski." A voice called out. Stepping into the dim light Jenny Cooper through an evil smile towards her prisoner. She knew she had hit the jack pot this time, her bosses were on their way, she was surely going to be promoted to regional commander, and get revenge on her sister. Life was good.

"Ah Miss Jenny, how nice of you to show your ugly face." Chuck replied, earning a hard slap to his right cheek.

"I suggest you not make me angry, I tend to get cranky and lash out." Seethed Jenny, gripping Chuck's face in her hand hard, forcing him to look at her.

"Raging hormones." Chuck fake coughed, earning another slap.

"You just don't know how to keep your mouth shut do you?" Hissed Jenny.

"Actually no, the whole taking orders thing, I just don't listen, ask my team, they tell me stay in the car and like woah so don't follow!" Chuck babbled out.

Jenny was getting angry, this is not how she pictured her hostage acting. He was built, but still lanky, with shaggy hair, she figured he would be easy to crack.

"If you don't watch out I will make one phone call and Sarah Walker will be killed." Threatened Jenny pulling out her phone for emphasis. That shut the man up quick, but a ignited a fire in his eyes.

"You bitch." Chuck breathed out.

"See now you are catching on." Jenny smirked, punching Chuck in the gut as she walked around him, analyzing him. "But what I am trying to figure out is what made my sister want to settle down…what was she protecting?"

As Jenny walked around Chuck she through swift kicks and hard upper cuts to the chained up man, hoping to break him down before her bosses arrived.

"Maybe it was the old Bartowski eyebrow dance." Coughed Chuck as another punch connected with his jaw.

"You know your sister is probably dead, and Walker will be to, not playing along with the game here is going to get you nowhere, not even dead." Threatened Jenny as she stopped rotating around the man and stood, looking him square in the eye.

"Sarah Walker could kick your ass, along with any other Fulcrum agent." Chuck said confidently. "Your just her no good baby sister."

The comment only put fuel on Jenny's anger, pulling out a knife she dragged the blade across Chuck's cheek, piercing the skin, while he held in a cry of pain.

"See that's the other thing, I said I was Jenny's friend, not sister. How do you know?" Jenny asked, confusion lacing her voice as she continued to drag her knife agonizingly slow.

"The CIA knows everything. My team has your agents caught, it will only be a matter of time before they talk about where you are." Chuck hissed out.

"To bad they don't know. Once we found out you were on to us, are bosses changed the meeting location, only since they weren't around, they didn't get the memo." Jenny replied with a sadistic smirk.

"Sarah will find you, and she will kill you." Chuck retorted confidently.

"Sarah wouldn't kill her family, she doesn't have the balls." Jenny replied, dropping the knife as she pulled up a chair to sit down in front of Chuck, figuring she might as well get comfortable.

"Most girls don't have balls." Chuck sarcastically replied. "Now you, I am sure you do."

"Oh how I enjoy this, you insult me, I beat on you, then your insults become weaker, I get information out of you, it is all a long, boring process, and my bosses are on their way, why don't you just tell me what you know, starting with where the intersect is." Jenny retorted, lighting up a cigarette.

"I may be a newbie agent, but I am not stupid." Chuck confidently replied.

"No, I don't doubt that. They wouldn't have put a complete dumbass rookie with the great Sarah Walker and John Casey." Jenny breathed out. "But that doesn't mean we don't have other ways to make you talk."

Jenny stood up and jammed her lit cigarette into Chuck's shoulder, watching as he grimaced while the burn continued to grow on his arm.

"You will talk Chuck, they all talk."

________________________________________________________________________

Carina and Bryce went with Ellie to the hospital, to make sure no one else tried to lay a hand on her. Sarah and Casey went in to report to the general, both not looking forward to having this conversation again.

"Good work team, way to let the intersect get caught again." Grumbled the general as the scream flashed on, clear annoyance and stress etched on her face.

"Look, we know this is bad, Fulcrum has Chuck and we don't know how much they know, but we will solve this." Casey gritted out, not liking the situation anymore then the general.

"And how are you so sure Major?" The General asked.

"Because Walker over here won't let even death from stop her from saving the kid from her sister's grasp." Casey replied honestly.

"Your sister has the intersect?" The General inquired, her curiosity over whelming her anger for the moment.

"We found out when we came back and found Ellie Bartowski with a GSW to the leg, she was able to report the information before passing out." Sarah explained, trying to stay calm.

"What did you find out from the agents you caught?" Demanded the general.

"They broke pretty easy, giving us coordinates to a supposed destination, but we sent our contacts out there and they called in saying the place was empty, she must have moved." Casey replied, pinching the bridge of his nose, feeling a major headache setting in.

"I am trying not to get angered by all of this, but I am seriously questioning your ability to keep the intersect safe, especially after you both requested permanent placement, I understand a mistake every now and then but this is twice you have let Fulcrum get one step ahead of you." The general hissed out.

"This time it was more personal ma'am, Agent Cooper was at the hotel when we arrived, the agents we captured told us she sneaked out the back way to beat us to the apartment where Bartowski was, we thought it would be better if we didn't bring the intersect to Fulcrum…but I guess that was there plan." Casey sighed out, really not in the mood for a fight, he just wanted to shoot someone. Now.

"Do they know who he is?" The general questioned.

"They may, but maybe not. They know Casey and I are protecting the intersect, but my sister is trying to get revenge, she may only know Chuck is my fiancé." Sarah said, thinking out loud.

"Well then, we may be able to play this to our advantage. We have seen that Bartowski can handle a little torture, he won't talk. However, I have a feeling since Cooper was removed from field work capturing an agent like Bartowski was probably reported to the top of Fulcrum, I suspect they are on their way now, get the agents you caught to give you as much information on them. Your orders are simple, find Bartowski, and HE BETTER BE ALIVE!" The general yelled before signing off.

"She is always so pleasant." Casey grumbled as he went to the basement to interrogate their hostages a little more.

"Like poking a tiger with a stick." Sarah grunted in response, quickly following him down the stairs.

________________________________________________________________

Jenny had left the room, claiming to need something to eat, if Chuck was going to escape he was going to have to work fast.

"Come on Chuck, think, what would Sarah do?" He asked himself.

Thinking as hard as he could, he realized there were no windows to escape out of, and the doors were locked, he didn't have a way of opening them with no handle on his side. If he was going to get out of this alive he was going to have to really use his head.

Chuck quickly moved around a bit to see if he had anything still on him, he felt his phone move in his back pocket.

"Perfect." He whispered to himself.

Squeezing his eyes tight, Chuck snapped his thumb, letting out a sharp cry of pain as the bone snapped. "Casey makes it seem so much easier." He grunted out, sliding one hand out of the cuffs.

Carefully Chuck reached into his back pocket, turned his phone on, and muted the sound. He knew he would have to find a better hiding place then the back pocket of his jeans, so he slowly slid the phone into the back of his boxers. Uncomfortable, yes, but it was the best hiding spot he could think of. Now all he had to do was hope Casey and Sarah checked their GPS on their phones. He would be out of here in no time.
