Don't have a heart attack. I know two in less than 24 hours. I just got up early with the dog. BTW, the hubby does help out a lot, he is absolutely fantastic. Hopefully, will have another up Friday or this weekend. Of course, please read and review.
Sarah and Casey were in Casey's apartment being briefed. They were to meet with General Beckman 15 minutes before Chuck got there.
"So Agent Walker, how is moving in with the Intersect coming?" Beckman questioned.
"We discussed the arrangement last night." Sarah responded.
"And what was his response?" Beckman barked.
"He said we would see how last night went." Sarah returned.
"And how did last night go, Agent Walker?" Beckman spouted back.
Sarah clearing her throat, "We worked all night to get his apartment put together as well as went shopping to get him some necessities. I think it went very well."
"Agent Walker, we cannot have the Intersect living by himself and away from us. I suggest you put this mission into high gear." Beckman responded sternly.
Unbeknownst to them, Chuck quietly opened the door to Casey's apartment and heard.
"Don't worry, General, I'll be living with Chuck before the end of the week." Sarah responded.
"Oh, will she now?" Chuck returned as he walked further into the apartment. "Excuse me, General, but has this been a fun game for all of you? Letting Agent Walker work a mark, namely me. If you wanted someone to move in with me, you could have just told me. Look, I know I'm at your mercy, but you could've been honest with me." Chuck looked at Sarah long and hard.
"Chuck, we need you to be protected now that you aren't living with your sister." General Beckman explained.
Sarah looked at Chuck with concern. She knew it would eventually come out. She knew it was going to kill Chuck. She knew it was going to kill her. She just didn't want it to be this soon. She wanted to be with Chuck so badly, yet she knew it was impossible.
"Fine, then I take Casey." Chuck barked.
"Sorry, Agent Walker will be moving in with you. It will support the cover." General Beckman ordered.
"Excellent." Chuck snapped his look at Sarah. He looked angry and upset and torn to pieces all at the same time. He thought how in the world would he do living under the same roof with her. This was an impossible situation. To love someone so much, but hate them as well. He started thinking that this whole time had been a game to them. It infuriated him every second he thought about it.
"Well, if you'll excuse me, General. I have some people to call and explain to them, I have found a roommate," Chuck stated matter-of-factly. "I'm glad to know that after a year, you three, look at me the same you did when we first met. Glad to know trust exists in this world. Glad to see our government is just as low down as everyone thinks. Glad to know that the people I trust with my life, can't trust me enough to be honest with me." Chuck looked at Casey and Sarah, and then at General Beckman. "I hope whatever you needed me for, General, can wait. The Intersect is not really in the mood right now to see any of you. Now, if you'll excuse me, I do have those phone calls to make."
