Chuck versus The Bouquet - Part Eight
Casey and Sarah turn their attention to Devon and Ellie as Devon begins to come to.
Devon tugging on his arms which are tied behind his back: "Hey, what gives! This is not awesome!"
Casey: "Relax, we're being held captive. They're watching us right now."
Devon realizing their predicament looks at Ellie. Devon: "Ellie? Guys what are we going to tell Ellie?"
Sarah: "We don't know anything for sure except that we've been taken hostage. Okay?"
Devon: "Right, got it!" At this point Ellie starts to wake up groggily. She first realizes that she can't move, then she sees who is in the room with her.
Ellie: "Devon! What's going on! Sarah? John? Where's Chuck? Oh my God, Honey, what happened?"
Devon: "Babe, we don't know. We just woke up just like you. We don't even know where here is."
Ellie starts to panic: "Who would do this? Why are we tied up?" She looks at the mirror and starts to yell. "Get us out of here, whoever you are!!"
Two agents dressed in suits enter. Sarah and Casey survey their situation looking for a way out. They have been stripped of their weapons. No knives, guns or anything to cut through the plastic cord hand and foot cuffs.
The first agent looks at Casey. "Looks like you really want out of here! Well, that's not going to happen any time soon!"
At this he pulls out a gun and aims it at Casey's chest. Pulling the trigger we see that it is a tazer gun. The small barbs hit Casey and immediately begin shocking him. Casey shakes uncontrollably until he falls over still attached to the chair, conscious but unable to move.
Ellie screams a blood curdling scream. Devon and Sarah both look at each other in fear. The second agent turns and looks at Ellie. "Now you are a bit too noisy. You'd better shut it or I'll hit you with one of those too!" Devon looks at him furiously and begins to tug at his cuffs. The second agent swings around and hits him full force in the face with a fist knocking him over.
Ellie: "Oh God, Honey, Honey!" She looks at the agent "...Okay I'll be quiet!"
The second agent: "Good! Now you're going to be here awhile, behave and you get to live, give me a hard time and I get to kill you, got it?!" Sarah hesitates a bit then looks at Ellie, Ellie looks at Sarah.
Both say at the same time reluctantly: "Got it."
The first agent: "Just so you know, Miss Bartowski, you're here because of your brother, Chuck."
Ellie: "What?! Chuck? You're kidding right?! Sarah, what is he talking about?"
Sarah doesn't look at her, she just looks at the ground.
The agent continues: "Miss Bartowski...we are aware that you have no knowledge of all this...the Intersect, Bryce Larkin, or of Agent's Walker and Casey's role in this..."
Ellie looks at Sarah scared and furious that Sarah isn't even looking at her. "Sarah!"
The agent interrupts her: "The reason you're here is that you're the bait, Miss Bartowski." With that the two agents turn and exit the room.
Ellie just looks at them leave dumbfounded. It dawns on her that whatever this is about, Chuck will try to find them. It's just who Chuck is. Oh, God...he's walking into a trap!
Ellie turns to her fiance: "Devon, are you okay? Can you talk?"
Devon: "Yeah babe, it just hurts a bit. Oh and I can't get back up, so I think I'll just lie here."
Sarah looks over at Casey who is still catatonic. Whatever they hit him with, he's going to be out of commission for a while.
Sarah realizes that she has to say something, even though she knows they are listening: "Ellie, you need to understand that Casey and I are here to protect Chuck, and that we'll do anything to make sure he is safe."
Ellie tries to whisper: "Wait, you're government agents? Why are you protecting Chuck?"
Sarah: "I can't go into that now, okay?" She motions with her eyes to the mirror.
Ellie looks at her trying to understand how this involves her brother but just can't.
Ellie: "What are we going to do? Chuck will try to find us, you know that! He's walking into a trap."
Sarah tries to pull free again but it isn't working. She looks helpless at Casey knowing he can't do anything either.
Sarah: "I know Ellie, but for now there's nothing we can do but pray." Dammit, she thinks to herself, there really is nothing she can do. All this CIA training and nothing. No way to warn him, no way to break free, no way to stop Fulcrum this time. Their going to get Chuck and she can't protect him. She can't protect the one she loves the most.
Outside the holding cell, there are 10 Fulcrum agents all working feverishly at computer monitors. The leader and his small team of 3 lieutenants discuss the next phase of the plan, contacting General Beckman and Director Graham and giving their ultimatum.
The Fulcrum leader then nods to one of the agents monitoring the computers and General Beckman and Director Graham come up on the screen. The video feed showing the Fulcrum leader, the NSA General and the CIA Director also is fed to a monitor in the holding cell where Sarah, Casey, Ellie and Devon are. All four watch and listen helplessly as they watch the events unfold.
Fulcrum leader talks to General Beckman and Director Graham: "By now you are aware that we have in custody, Agents Walker and Casey. We warned you that we would stop at nothing to obtain the Intersect!"
General Beckman: "We are not going to just hand over the Intersect to you! Agents Walker and Casey knew the risks with this assignment. They are willing to give their lives before they let you get your hands on the Intersect.!" Camera flashes to Casey and Walker both looking wide eyed at the monitor then at each other.
The Fulcrum leader continues: "You can't hide Chuck Bartowski forever. We will continue to hunt him down. You should be aware now that we are broadcasting this audio feed on all NSA and CIA frequencies so whereever he is, Chuck Bartowski is hearing this too. Chuck, by the way, we also have your sister and her fiance. You have 12 hours to surrender yourself to us or we will kill each one of our captives starting with...your sister, Ellie." The transmission ends abruptly as the General and the Director are trying to respond.
Unbeknownst to Fulcrum or their captives, just sixty feet away from the command center and the holding cell stand Chuck and Bryce both looking at each other. They heard everything. Bryce looks at Chuck.
Bryce whispers: "This is why we're here Chuck. We're not going to let them do this, all right?!" He looks at his old college buddy for reassurance. Chuck just looks back at him, reloads the tranq pistols and responds.
Chuck: "They're going down!" Bryce pulls out a small pda and presses a few buttons. It's a heat recognition device showing the 13 figures in the command center, two operatives entering the holding cell walking toward four seated captives (two appear lying down) and 5 guards just outside the holding cell. He shows the screen to Chuck who looks at it intently and then nods back at Bryce.
Chuck reaches his hand out to Bryce, they shake a special fraternity handshake and Chuck says: "Let's do this! You take out the command center and I'll take care of the guards!" Bryce nods and they head down the corridor.
Chuck uses his night vision goggles and with three clean shots from his tranq pistols he takes out three of the guards who had just moved into the hallway outside the holding cell. This gives Bryce his opportunity. Bryce races up the hallway and ducks into the adjoining room to the command center. Chuck moves quickly toward the guard station.
Inside the holding cell the two Fulcrum agents have re-entered to check on their captives.
First agent: "So Agent Casey, not so tough now are you?!" He hits Casey with another tazer shot, this time from a hand held unit with not so much power. It keeps Casey on the floor unable to move. Sarah calls out to Casey but the second agent slaps his hand across her face shutting her up quickly. She regains her composure and turns looking at the Fulcrum agent with disdain and hatred.
Just then the two Fulcrum agents hear a scuffle outside. The two agents turn toward the mirror hoping to see what's going on.
Just outside Chuck Bartowski has just entered the outside room, he can see Sarah and Ellie through the one way glass, but not Devon or Casey, they must be on the floor. Chuck uses a series of karate and aikido moves to take out the two agents in the outside room. He swivels around and catches one with a kick to the face sending him flying through the glass mirror into the holding cell. Glass goes everywhere. Sarah and Ellie both turn and look back at where the mirror used to be but both see Chuck instead. As the two Fulcrum agents rush to get back through the door and attack Chuck, Seeing them he quickly pulls out the two tranq pistols and with precision spins around and hits both of them in the neck causing them to drop to the floor.
Chuck turns to see Ellie and Sarah looking back at him in disbelief. He just smiles with a Chuckish grin and says: "Let's get out of here, okay?!"
Chuck enters the holding cell and cuts them all loose. Ellie rushes to Devon's side to help him up.
Chuck walks over to Sarah, kisses her and just says: "I wasn't about to wait in the car this time!"
Sarah smiles: "I'm glad you didn't!"
Devon and Sarah help Casey up and they all leave the holding cell with Chuck leading the way. As they enter the hallway, they all hear gunfire and explosions from across the hall. Chuck looks at Sarah and says: "Bryce!"
Sarah: "Ellie, we need you to get Casey to safety. Can you help him out of here?" Ellie nods expecting Devon to go with her. She puts Casey's arm over her shoulders and starts to head out but stops.
Ellie: "Devon, come on!"
Devon: "Babe, we have got to help him, you go. I love you!"
Ellie looks back to see Chuck toss Devon a tranq gun and then the three of them all run into the command center amid gunfire and explosions.
Ellie starts to scream but their already gone, she turns and continues to try and drag Casey to safety. She only makes it to the end of the hallway and falls to the floor. Casey is just too heavy. She looks intently back at the doorway through which her fiancee, her brother and his girlfriend entered. The gunfire stops, she gasps hoping their okay. Then a figure emerges from the doorway and heads her way. She tries to make out who it is and is worried because whoever it is he' holding a gun. Through the smoke she recognizes him.
Ellie screams at him: "Bryce, is that you? I thought you were dead!" She's about to continue yelling at him when she sees three figures emerge from the doorway, its Chuck with his arm around Sarah and Devon. They're safe!
Ellie jumps up and runs over to Devon hugging him like she'll never let him go. Casey, who was supported by Ellie's shoulder has now slumped over and is lying on the floor.
Bryce leans down and helps Casey to his feet.
Bryce: "You know Casey, if you didn't already look like someone beat the crap out of you I'd shoot you for old times sake." Casey just grunts at him trying to smile.
Bryce, carrying Casey leads them out of the construction site and back through the pump station doors out in front of the Bellagio fountains. Casey begins to regain his strength and stands leaning on the wall overlooking the fountains. The group looks around them, it's the first time they knew where they were.
Chuck asks Bryce if he can use his phone and he makes a speakerphone call to General Beckman and Director Graham. Sarah and Casey just watch as Chuck addresses their superiors.
Chuck: "General Ma'am and Director Graham..." He pauses and looks at Bryce who nods okay.
Chuck continues: "our mission was successful. Fulcrum is no more."
General Beckman: "And what about Agent's Walker and Casey, are they all right?"
Chuck: "They're right here and safe. We will need a containment team right away though."
Director Graham: "Congratulations Bryce and you too Chuck, well done."
Chuck: "General, I'd like to make a request if I may...If you don't mind, I think we're all going to take a week or two off."
General Beckman hesitates then: "So be it. Check back with us in two weeks." The phone goes dead.
Sarah walks over to Bryce and Chuck. "Someday you two will have to tell me what the hell happened back there. But for now..." She grabs Chuck and gives him a very passionate kiss.
Chuck holding Sarah, looks back at the group. Seeing Ellie and Devon holding each other he smiles: "So...we are in Vegas, you two want to get married?"
Ellie: "Well, we were planning on getting married here next month, ...but..." She looks longingly at Devon.
Devon: "Babe, I think it would be awesome!"
The group makes its way over the the Elvis Wedding Chapel and everyone takes their places. Ellie the bride, Devon the Groom, Chuck as the best man and Sarah as the maid of honor. Devon tells Bryce and Casey they both can be flower boys. Although neither seems happy with their role, they are happy for the wedding couple so they just grunt to themselves.
Both Ellie and Devon adlib their vows both adding what special family and friends they had around them at this special occasion. They are pronounced Mr. and Mrs. Awesome by Elvis himself (or at least a very good impersonator), and head down the aisle. As they are about to leave the chapel Ellie looks back and tosses the bouquet. It goes right to Sarah who catches it. Ellie looks back at her and just says: "you know what that means..."
Sarah blushes and looks at Chuck. Chuck looks around at his friends and family then back at Sarah. He can't think of a better time or place. He gets down on one knee.
Chuck: "Sarah, will you marry me...right now?"
Sarah looks at Chuck, at everyone and at the Chapel. "I'd love to!"
Chuck takes her hand and they head back up the aisle. This time, Devon is the best man and Ellie is the maid of honor.
As the Elvis impersonator begins the ceremony Chuck stops him and gets out his phone. He presses a few buttons on it and hands it to Bryce who holds it up. The phone acting like a webcam films the wedding.
He looks at Sarah and says: "Morgan would kill me if he missed this."
Elvis begins: "Dearly beloved, we are gathered here..."
