Chuck vs. Life
AN: I own nothing. Much appreciated to anyone who leave reviews. Here's the next one and this one is going to have two parts.
Chapter 9: Part I
"Wait, don't hurt them." Chuck said while placing his gun on the floor. Seeing Casey, Carina and Sarah and Bryce knocked out.
"Good, now tell me." Tommy said with a sadistic smile.
Forty-eight hours earlier. It has been a week since Landon's funeral and a week since Sarah had moved in with Chuck. Bryce was still pissed about that and had made his feelings known, which pissed off Chuck because that's all he heard from Bryce now..
They had yet to find anything on Tommy and what he meant to Fulcrum. Chuck had been in his office, pretending to be working but really was avoiding everyone. Yeah, he got some work done but he hasn't gotten everything done that needed to be.
Sighing, he finally got up and walked out of his office only to be pulled into Sarah's and was forced against the door.
"Why the hell have you been avoiding me?" she asked him not letting him go.
"What are you talking about?" he asked her.
"Don't play dumb with me. You have been avoiding me and you know it. So now tell me why?" she told him.
Laughing, Chuck responded "Seriously, you don't have a clue. Bryce." and the wiggled out of her grasped.
"Bryce" she said to him and saw him lean against her desk. He just smiled and nodded.
"What about him?" she said.
"He's been annoying the hell out of me or haven't you notice. What did you see in him?" he replied.
"Ha, I really don't know, maybe how he didn't care what people thought of him. Or how he was just there." she said "What has he been saying that you're so annoyed with him." she asked.
"Just been expressing his feeling on how us living together. That its not necessary and that I'm a big boy and can take care of myself. The last part isn't annoying but when he says it constantly it gets really old. I was even thinking of letting Casey shoot him." he said while avoiding her stare towards him.
"Wow, he must be annoying if you thinking that." she said grabbing his head and forcing him to look at her.
"You're going to mess up my hair. It took me forever to get it this way because someone decided that she would take forever in the bathroom." he said. Sarah let go of his head and placed them on his chest.
"Who knew you were such a girl and needed that much time in the bathroom." she whispered and before he could answer, she pulled him down towards her lips. It started off slow but soon heated up and before either knew it, Chuck had flipped them and now she was the one on the desk.
Sarah ran her hand up and down his chest and then started to un-tucking his shirt and ripped it opened, sending buttons flying everywhere. Chuck pulled away becasue air became a necessary and whispered in a low and dangerous voice
"You could have just unbuttoned it, you know." and placed his forehead against hers.
"It would have taken to long. Besides it wasn't your color" she told him running her hands down his stomach.
Laughing, Chuck pulled her towards him and kissed her. Sarah pushed off his shirt and Chuck started to work on hers. Finding the hem of her shirt, his hands wormed inside her shirt and caressed her back.
Outside, Carina was looking for Chuck and Sarah to tell them about the meeting they had in twenty minutes.
"Hey, Sarah, the general called and said she has some" she said coming into the room without knocking, which caused them to jump back from each other.
"Whoa, didn't know we were allowed to fraternize in the office. Always good to know." Carina said while looking at both Chuck and Sarah.
"What do you want Carina?" Sarah asked.
"Well, Beckman called and said we have a meeting in twenty. Looking good Chuckles." she said averting her attention towards him. Chuck gave out a nervous smile and looked at Sarah for some help.
She saw the look and stepped between him and Carina and asked
"Is that all?" and watched as Carina put her hands up in defeat.
"Yeah. You two can get back to whatever you where doing or weren't doing." she said walking out the door "Hey Sarah, next time just lock the door." and walked out shutting the door behind her.
Trying to not laugh, Chuck went over and picked up his shirt. Sarah sighed knowing people had very bad timing.
"It's lucky I got another shirt in my office." he said walking towards the door.
"And where do you think your going mister." she said catching him and pulled him towards her then reached over and locked the door.
"Well I have to replace the shirt you decided to rip open." he told her looking down at her.
"You didn't complain about it a few minutes ago." she said to him.
"Who says I'm complaining. I just don't think the general or director would like to see me in just my pants." he told her.
"Well we do got about twenty minutes or so." she told him.
"Yeah, true." he said leaning down to kiss her and as she tired to deepen it, a knock came to the door.
"Sarah, it's Bryce. Can I talk to you?" he asked her as Chuck placed his head on her shoulder and let out a grunt.
"I'm kind of busy at the moment, can it wait?" she asked as she felt Chuck start kissing her neck and finding the spot as she let out a moan.
"Yeah, I guess, by the way have you seen Chuck. I need to give him some papers." he asked hoping he wasn't in there.
"No" was all she said before he covered her mouth with his, as his tongue invade her mouth, and letting out another involuntary moan.
"Ok, but we'll talk later, right." Bryce said to her as he heard a noise.
"Mm-hmm" was her answer. Twenty-one minutes later, Chuck and Sarah were running into the castle adjusting their shirts.
"Glad you could join us." Beckman said over the television. Chuck and Sarah gave a weak smile and apologized. Carina gave them a knowing look and let out a giggle.
"Is something funny, Agent Evans?" Beckman turned her attention to her.
"No ma'am." Carina said while clearing her throat. Bryce looked over at Chuck and Sarah, and saw that their hair was just a little bit messier than usual.
"Ok, now that we have everyone, we have some new information on Delgado. Our intel has said he and his men work out of this building." Beckman said and as Chuck looked at the building closer, he flashed.
"It's on 1501, Lincoln street. They are going to have a meeting tonight." Chuck said as the flash ended.
"Ok, you heard Carmichael. You hit them tonight and try to capture Tommy and Carmichael, no harm will be done unless absolutely necessary. Understood." she said sternly.
"Yes ma'am" Chuck said while he tightened his jaw while looking at the photo of Tommy as the screen went blank. Sarah this and gave his hand a squeeze. He looked at her and gave her a weak smile.
"So we should get stuff together for tonight. Hey Chuck, why don't you show Carina around." Bryce said to him interrupting the moment they were sharing.
"Uh yeah, I can do that." Chuck replied removing his hand away from Sarah and going to where Carina was.
"Hey Sarah, you want to help me out gather some things for tonight?" Bryce asked her.
"No, I'm going to help Casey." she replied walking past him. He let out a sigh, knowing he was going to have to do something quick if he was going to get Sarah back. A few hours later, everything was prepared for tonight and everyone was in the break room. Sarah had went back up to get her things, not noticing that Bryce followed her.
"So Chuck, are you sure you won't shoot this guy." Casey said to him.
"I'll try not to but the general didn't say I couldn't beat his face in." he said to laughing.
"Wonder what's taking Sarah so long." Carina said out loud, looking around noticing Bryce was gone to.
"Uh-oh" she thought as she saw Chuck notice the same thing.
"I'm going to see what's taking Sarah so long." he said leaving.
"We will go with you." Casey said as he pulled Carina behind him.
"Look Bryce, I have already told you, me and you are just partners, and Chuck and I are none of your concern. So mind your own business." Sarah told Bryce trying to get to the door only to be pulled back to him.
"We have something, Sarah. You can't tell me you don't feel it." Bryce told her.
"No, I don't feel anything for you anymore. You ran before we could even discover what it was we had. So if you don't mind, we need to get ready." she replied to him.
"I'm not letting you go until you admit it." he said pulling her face towards his. Sarah started pushing him back but heard.
"What the hell?" and both turned to look at Casey's shocked face.
"Where's Chuck?" Sarah said to them and saw Carina point to the elevators and ran out the door.
"She's still in love with me." Bryce said confidently but was pushed against the wall by Casey.
"If you do anything to hurt Chuck, I swear to you, I will hurt you so badly you will want me to end you. Understood." he said to him but didn't wait for an answer and walked away.
"You're a moron. Sarah likes Chuck. Want to know why I know that?" Carina said to him and Bryce just shook his head
"Because of what I saw earlier. She kissed him like there was no tomorrow and not once did I see her kiss you like that during the project or in Paris. She's over you Bryce, and it's time to let go." Carina said to him as she jogged to catch up with Casey.
Bryce just sat there and pulled out his phone. "Hey it's Bryce, tonight's the night. No they don't know."
Sarah had managed to catch Chuck and said
"Look what you saw was nothing. Bryce was wanting to" but was cut off.
"I know. I heard what you said to him. You told him that there's nothing between the two of you." he said looking at her.
"Then why did you run off?" she asked him.
"I didn't run, I walked. It took all my willpower to not go up to him and strangle the life out him. We still need him for the mission. But the friendship between me and him, there really never was one. Just partnership." he replied and smiled at her.
"Oh ok." she said as Chuck placed a kiss on her cheek.
"That's it." she said to him.
"Yeah, I'm not going to kiss you after that jerk put his lips on you. At least not until you brush your teeth and use lots and lots of mouth wash." he said smiling at her and walked towards the castle to get ready.
Everyone was ready to go in under an hour, and Chuck spoke up
"Ok, so it will be Bryce and me taking the front and you three taking the back. Graham called and told me that's how it was." he said to everyone. "So let's roll out, team." as he went towards the Tahoe. Everything was going smoothly and Casey had been able to take out at least five guys while the girls had taken out three a piece.
"Chuck how's it going on your end?" Casey asked quietly
"Good, a few guys down. Bryce is leading the way. How's it" was all Chuck was able to get out before he and Bryce got ambushed.
"Chuck what's happening?" Sarah said.
"Chuck, behind you. Duck." was all they heard.
"They are under attack, we need to get in there." Carina said to them but was held back by Casey. Chuck had been beating the living hell out of some guy that jumped on his back, asking him where Tommy was when Bryce had yelled to him duck and pushed him out the way.
"We can't just go in there, we need a plan." he told her
"Yes, you do, how about this one, all of you drop your weapons and come with me or we kill Agent Larkin here." Tommy said coming from behind him with about ten guys backing him up and saw them holding an unconscious Bryce. They did what he said and asked
"Where's Agent Carmichael" Casey asked him.
"That's what we would like to know. He seemed to escape because of this buffoon, he's really fast and slippery, who knew." he told them. Tommy grabbed a hold of Sarah and pulled back on her hair "Well aren't you a pretty one." and she replied by spitting in his face.
"Not a good idea my dear." he said and slapped her across the face.
"Hey guys, where are you?" Chuck asked and Tommy heard him.
"If you want to see your friends alive Carmichael, you will come out and play." he told him.
"Tommy." was all Chuck said.
"Don't do it Chuck, he's just going to kill us anyway." Carina said and was immediately punched in the stomach.
"Where?" he said ignoring what Carina just said.
"How about in the middle of the building. We'll be waiting Agent. Don't take to long ." Tommy said to him.
As Chuck made his way to meet Tommy, he had called in backup. They were about thirty minutes away. He saw them handcuffed to some chains that were hanging.
"You guys ok?" but noticed that their mouths were taped shut and that they had a couple of cuts. Bryce was the only one who looked bad.
"Stop right there Carmichael." Chuck heard Tommy say coming from the shadows.
"What do you want?" he asked.
"You, because I think you know something about the intersect and who it is." he replied to him.
"Intersect? What in the hell is that?" Chuck answered him with a curious look and gripped his gun.
"So you want to play it that way, do you. Ok, how bout we start with the grumpy one lads." Tommy said and pointed to one of his men. The guy stood in front of Casey and started punching him in the stomach and then took a swing to his face.
"Stop, why don't you put your gun down, Charles. Or he continues to the red head and then blonde one here." he said to him grabbing Sarah's face and when he saw Chuck face tighten. "Does she mean something to you Charles. Interesting. Start with her." Chuck saw him get closer and raised his fist
"Wait, don't hurt them." Chuck said while putting his gun down but never taking his eyes off of Tommy.
"Good, now tell me." Tommy said with a sadistic smile. Chuck nodded his head and said
"I'll make you a deal."
"A deal, ok tell me what this deal is. And rip the tape off them" Tommy said to him.
"You have to follow everything I say or it's off." Chuck told him, making eye contact with Sarah and see knew what he was going to do.
"Chuck, no." she told him.
"You or your men don't harm them, not one finger and I will go with you freely. But you have to let them be."
"Wow, the Great Agent Carmichael saving his comrades and giving himself up. Deal." Tommy said.
"Yeah, just leave them alone. "
"Don't do this Chuck. We can deal with torture."
"Yeah, Chuck we can deal with it." Carina spoke up.
Chuck just looked at them and said "I know, but I can't let all of you go through that."
Chuck looked at Sarah and smiled weakly and said "In this business you would be lucky to find someone to care about. I was never angry at you for dating him because it was before I knew you and maybe someday you can tell me the story of how you met. But when I found out, that's when it hit me, that I just didn't like you but I was in love with you."
"Please Chuck, don't' do this. " Sarah pleaded.
"Sometimes you don't have to be the hero, Chuck" Bryce said coming to.
"But sometimes you need to be." he said to him while getting down on his knees and placing his hands behind his back. As the handcuffs were placed, Tommy ordered all the men out and before he left said
"Isn't that sweet, romance between two agents, too bad it did last." and turned towards Chuck as he saw his men leave.
"Now tell me who it is?" he asked him.
"I never told you I was going to tell you. You should have negotiated better." Chuck asked and smiled at him.
"How I love to torture. Don't you Charles?" Tommy said to him and then hit him over the head with a pipe he picked up. Chuck hit the floor hard and was knocked out instantly.
"Get him to the car." he said to two of the guys that stayed with him. As the two dragged Chuck's body, Tommy turned to them and said
"Agent Carmichael is a very brave man. A man who is going to wish he was dead after I'm done with him. You can on that." he said and walked up to Sarah.
"I can tell what he sees in you. I'll try to stay away from the face, but no promises." Tommy told her and smiled and walked away.
"YOU SON OF A BITCH, WE WILL FIND YOU AND MAKE YOU WISH YOU NEVER TOUCHED HIM." she yelled.
"Don't make promises you can't keep, Agent. I have to get to work, bye-bye now." Tommy said entering a car and sped off.
"Don't worry Sarah, Chuck's tough he won't talk." Casey said to her.
"Everyone talks, Casey, you know that." she said then heard Bryce whisper
"What did I do?" and then heard car's pull up.
End of Part I
AN: Sorry it took me so long to update. I just couldn't decide on how to write this chapter. Now we have to wait two weeks for a new Chuck and that absolutely sucks. Chuck's going to go through torture and will they find him in time. Who was Bryce talking to. Please be kind and review, much appreciated.
