The Beverly Hills Hotel - Bungalow 3
2:55 p.m.
June 19th, 2010
"Hey guys." Bryce's replied expressing a grin as he stands in the doorway dressed in street clothes. "What's…"
Bryce doesn't even get to finish his sentence when Chuck suddenly sees Cassidy lunge forward engulfing him in a embrace. The groom continues to stand outside completely dumbfounded as he sees his former Stanford roommate actually here on the day of his wedding. After he sees him receive several kisses on the lips from his girlfriend he's able to loosen her right grip around his neck in order to breathe better.
"What are you doing here?" asked a perplexed Chuck shaking his head.
"I'll tell you…" responded Bryce. "…but first come inside." he said motioning Chuck to step through the door as he is holding Cassidy's hand.
A still perplexed Chuck steps through the door and then stops letting Bryce take the lead. As he follows Bryce and Cassidy into the living room area of the bungalow, he just can't fathom why he's here and not out there tracking The Ring at this very moment. In that instance, he wonders if they quite possibly followed him here causing him to worry that they may end up crashing the proceedings ruining Sarah's day.
It would most definitely piss Sarah off if The Ring showed up unannounced causing mass hysteria to run ramped. In his mind, she would seriously go Bridezilla on their asses if that particular scenario happens and nothing ruins a wedding day more than exchanging gun fire instead of wedding vows with the one you love. His thoughts are suddenly interrupted when he hears the voice of Cassidy.
"So what are you doing here honey?" wondered Cassidy expressing a soft grin.
"I wouldn't miss Chuck and Sarah's wedding for the world." he replied glancing at Cassidy and then turns his attention to Chuck.
Chuck takes a brief moment to let those words sink in. In the past, the last thing Bryce Larkin would even think of doing is come to their wedding knowing the history he has with not only Sarah, but him as well. The issues they had with him were absolutely unforgivable but now after establishing some much needed closure there is a real friendship between the three of the them.
However, to show up on their day knowing how truly risky it is may very well put their wedding in jeopardy. The innocent civilians that may end up getting hurt or killed for that matter because he is here. He shakes his head knowing this has to be the most bone headed decision he has ever made next to hurting Sarah emotionally causing her to think he went rogue but that's neither here nor there he thinks to himself.
"That's awesome of you Bryce…" he quickly replied. "…but you got to leave?" he said stepping in between him and Cassidy inevitably standing behind him.
"What? Why?" questioned the C.I.A. agent as he's being pushed towards the front door of the bungalow with Cassidy trying to stop him.
As Chuck is attempting to push down the hallway towards the door, Cassidy is trying to stop him making for a humorous sight to see between the three. While doing so, the girlfriend of Bryce Larkin questions Chuck's actions. "What are doing Chuck?" she inquired. "Have you completely lost your mind?" added Cassidy.
"I'm trying to save my wedding…" Chuck quickly responded. "…that's what I'm doing." he firmly stated continuing to try to push Bryce towards the front door.
His attempts in trying to do so are being thwarted by Cassidy as he feels himself being pulled back by his right arm. As she does do, Chuck hears Cassidy continue her line of questioning. "Can you at least let him explain why he's here?" she stated pulling his left arm.
At this point, he doesn't even respond to Cassidy. Chuck doesn't want to hear his explanation because right now as he's focused on the safety of all the innocent civilians that are attending the wedding. He just wants him to leave and be anywhere but at this particular location because if he's here then the bad guys are quite possibly not far behind he thinks to himself. "No." he quickly stated shaking his head.
"Listen Chuck…" Bryce said impeding him from being pushed towards and out the front bungalow door. "…if you stop pushing me I will explain myself and you'll understand why I came." The groom pauses for a moment as he glances at his former roommate and then back at Cassidy who is nodding at him to do so. In that moment, he reluctantly lets him go and then takes a quick breathe to compose himself. "Thank you."
"No problem." he calmly replied fixing his black bow tie, jacket, and the cumber bun that unfortunately ends up in the area of his chest.
While Chuck is pushing down his cumber bun to where its supposed to be, he notices Cassidy checking on her boyfriend's well being. In that moment, he wants to Gibb slap her upside the head but if he does then he'll be hitting a woman, which is illegal. However, she's going to be his sister-in-law so technically they would be siblings making it totally legal on his part.
Once again he's snapped out of his thoughts by Bryce looking straight at him. "Have you been working out?" inquired Bryce expressing a smirk.
Chuck's response is to simply reach up with his right hand and slap his forehead. After that his reaches up with left hand to where he covers his face with both of them. He then makes a muffled, incoherent and unrecognizable sound within them. As he has both hands, over his face he hears Cassidy's voice.
"Are you okay Chuck?"
"No…" replied Chuck still with both hands covering his face. "…I'm not."
"What's wrong?"
"You're here." he said. "If you're here then that means The Ring is possibly somewhere in the vicinity. This doesn't bode well at all." added Chuck shaking his head expressing weariness on his face.
"You don't have to worry about that."
"Why?"
"I didn't come here alone." he responded. "I was actually brought here."
The frantic groom slowly lowers his hands to see Bryce expressing a bright smile. "You were brought here?" he responded. Sarah's former partner responds with a nod. "By who?"
"By us?" the male voice answered behind Chuck. He quickly spins around and when he does his eyes wide once again to see two more familiar faces. One is Travis' former Zeitgeist commanding officer Tobias Carter and the other is his father's old friend William Jax. "It's good to see you son." he hears Jax said as Chuck is standing there in total disbelief.

The Beverly Hills Hotel - Bungalow 3
3:10 p.m.
June 19th, 2010
For Chuck, the appearance of Bryce is considered shocking enough but to have Tobias Carter and his dad's former Section 8 teammate standing in the same room with him is absolutely mind blowing to him. It had been quite some time since he has seen either of those two men and now they show up who apparently brought Bryce with them to attend or in this case crash their wedding. A nice gesture and all but risky as well he thinks to himself.
"Hey Jax…" said Chuck rubbing the back of his neck. "…first off good to see you and Tobias could make it." he added. The two men wearing tuxes nod in acknowledgement as he continues on. "Secondly, what's going on because I'm seriously about to freak out here." he quickly stated.
"Relax Chuck." Jax replied holding up both hands in attempt to calm down the frantic groom who is leaning forward with his hands on the back of the couch.
As Chuck tries to calm himself, he peers down at the floor and begins taking several deep breathes. When he does, the groom hears Tobias gruffly respond. "Everything is under control." he stated.
To the man who is about to get married in an hour, its not a good thing when you hear the words everything is under control, especially from the likes of the Zeitgeist's right hand man Tobias Carter. Even the way he actually said those 4 words causes him to become greatly concerned. It's at the point, he peers up at the two men standing across from him in order to ask an important question.
"Are we in any danger because if so it would so ruin Sarah's wedding day?" responded the worried groom.
"No…" replied Jax shaking head. "…you and Sarah are not in any danger." he added. "As a matter of fact your wedding is completely safe. Trust me."
A sense of relief is felt by Chuck as he hangs his head inevitably nodding several times. After doing so, he calms himself down but as he does he hears Cassidy speak up. "Mr. Carter…Mr. Jax nice to see you two again." she pleasantly said walking towards the two men. As the groom is slowly recovering from his ordeal he continues to hear the conversation that is currently going on.
"Ma'am." replied Tobias.
"Ms. Wexler " Jax responded giving a quick nod over to her. "You look very lovely today."
"Thank you." she said.
"How do you know those two?" questioned Bryce.
"It's a long story…" she said smiling at the two men and then returns her attention to her boyfriend. "…I'll tell you later." added Cassidy.
It's at that point, Chuck lifts his head and stands straight up looking Jax eye to eye. "So I take it you two have come dressed to attend my wedding." he said. He then glances back at Bryce. "Well, at least some of us are."
"Hey, I can't remember." he retorted. "Your sister thinks I'm dead. Your brother-in-law has seen my face and so has the little bearded guy."
"Actually, the little bearded guy knows who you are…" Chuck can see Bryce about to respond but quickly cuts him off. "…and before you say anything you can trust Morgan." he stated with utmost confidence.
"If you say so." replied Bryce. "Anyways, I have a great view from across from the swan lake area. I can not only watch the ceremony from there but see my girl be the best maid of honor she can be." he added reaching up to kiss Cassidy's right hand.
"Okay." he replied rolling his eyes as he turns around. His attention turns from Bryce back to the two men standing in front of him. He quickly glances at Jax and then looks directly at Tobias. "When you said everything is under control what did you mean?" inquired Chuck.
"You and anyone associated with you are under the protection of the Zeitgeist remember?"
"Yeah I remember."
"Wait…" responded Bryce getting the attention of not only Tobias and Jax, but Chuck as well. "…so does that mean me included."
"Affirmative Agent Larkin." he stated.
"Nice." he said nodding his head.
Chuck attention on Bryce quickly returns to Travis' former commanding officer. "Since this is you and Agent Walker's wedding we came to watch over the two of you, as well as everyone else attending the wedding." firmly stated Tobias. "We know Colonel Casey has several of his Marine buddies as ushers so that's been established on his part. What he doesn't know are that a number of my people are in plain sight just in case." he added. "You won't know who they are but they will be keeping a watchful eye as well."
It takes some time for everything to fully process in Chuck's head. After it finally does, he gives Tobias a firm nod in order to nonverbally thank him for what he is doing in behalf of he and Sarah on their special day. Chuck attention immediately turns to Jax as he narrows his eyes at his father's old friend waiting for his response. "I just came for the free food." said Jax expressing a wry smile.
It takes a brief moment but Chuck expresses a hint of a grin after hearing the response from Jax. "Thanks for coming guys." he said.
"So I can stay?" asked Bryce.
In that instance, he glance back at both Cassidy and Bryce who are eagerly awaiting his answer. "Yeah…" Chuck replied. "…you can stay."
In that instance, the happy couple hug each other leading Chuck to turn around peering down for a moment. He then reaches up to scratch his head concerning not just this situation but the series of surprising situations he has encountered over the past several hours. His thoughts are suddenly interrupted when he feels a hand on his right shoulder. He looks up to see Jax standing next to him.
"Let's you and I take a walk." said Jax.
"Yeah." he responded following his father's old friend towards and inevitably out the door.

The Beverly Hills Hotel - Winding Pathway
3:15 p.m.
June 19th, 2010
"You know what your father would say if he were here right now." asked Jax glancing over Chuck.
The two me twalk side by side together on a cemented pathway with the Swan Lake on their left. There is a brief moment of silence before Chuck responds. "He would say…" he answered. "…it's about time." added the groom expressing a soft grin.
Chuck hears a hint of laughter being expressed by Jax after saying that. "Yeah, knowing him he would say that." he said reaching over placing his right hand on his shoulder squeezing it a bit.
"I miss him." he softly said.
"So do I…" replied Jax. "…but he's never really gone.
"Yeah I know. He and my mom are both here…" placing his right hand on his chest. "…and here." Chuck says touching the side of his head.
"He's proud of you after all that you've accomplished so far. They both are. I know your dad and mom are looking down on you with proud smiles on their faces." Jax added as they continue walking the winding pathway. "I'm proud of you too."
To have Jax say that to him meant a lot being that he's been like a second father to him since his dad passed away with Wexler coming in 3rd. In his mind, he has in some way been able to keep the memory of his father alive with all the stories that he has shared not only mission together as Section 8 teammates whenever he visits, but also about the events that were important to him when it came to his family concerning he and Ellie.
It's always one story after another that not only puts a smile on his face but makes him laugh as well. Chuck knows that even though his father isn't physically here he can feel his comforting presence telling him that everything is going to be just fine for you wedding. The groom peers up at the heavens giving not only his dad a quick nod by his mom as well. He then glances over at Jax expressing a smile.
"Thanks." he replied. "It means a lot to me for you to say that." adds Chuck.
"If you need anything and I do mean anything don't hesitate to call." he firmly stated "You have my number."
"Yes I do and I will." he responded back.
As the two continue to walk the winding pathway they end up across from where the ceremony is going to be held at. He remembers what Bryce said concerning that he'll be able to witness he and Sarah getting married without being noticed. Chuck scans the area and spots several places where he can conceal himself without being spotted by any of the guest in the attendance who can easily recognize him like Ellie for instance.
His attention from scanning the area of possible look out spots for Bryce to watch his wedding to Sarah is abruptly ended when he feels Jax poking him in order to get his attention causing him to look directly at him wondering why he's doing it. "Why are you poking me?" he said turning to see what he wants.
"Look." responded Jax.
He sees him point across the swan lake area leading Chuck to see where's pointing at. It takes him a while to pinpoint where exactly what he's seeing with his own two eyes but when he does he witnesses an amusing sight. In that instance, he and Jax clearly notice on the other side of the swan lake Casey standing in front of his marine buddies quite possibly talking to them about their duties as ushers.
Casey isn't alone as Hunter is standing right beside him copying the way the marines are standing at attention. As they lean against the metal barrier separating them from the lake in front of them, the two men express smiles on there faces watching the 7 year old emulate the burly NSA Agent from the way he's standing to the way he's walking. To Chuck, it would have been awesome if they had clear audio so they hear what is happening because he can tell Hunter is repeating the instructions that Casey is currently barking out.
If that was the case he would bust out laughing right then and there he thinks to himself. It's at that point, they then notice that whenever the veteran agent is pacing back and forth in front of his marines buddies, Hunter is right there behind pacing with him in seemingly the exact same way. The two men express a hint of laughter whiling watching what is happening before their eyes.
Chuck leans over and responds to the humorous scene they see in the distance. "How about that…" replied Chuck. "…Casey has his own mini me." he adds.
"If he starts grunting like him be afraid…" he responded. "…be very afraid." Jax jokingly added.
The groom expresses another hint of laughter responding to Jax's comment concerning Hunter grunting like Casey. He may just very end up doing so he thinks to himself with a smile on his face. He and Jax take a few more minutes to watch what is going on across the swan lake. Chuck the feels a light punch to her left arm causing to him turn his head and when does he sees a proud smile on the man's face.
"Let's get you married." he asked.
"You don't have to tell me twice." Chuck happily responded as they both walk off.

The Beverly Hills Hotel - Suite 3/20
3:45 p.m.
June 19th, 2010
After returning from his talk with Jax, Chuck returns to his suite to prepare for the impending nuptials. His best man, groomsmen, and Morgan are dressed in their tuxes. Wexler, before leaving with Hunter to inevitably join his daughter, shook his soon to be son-law's hand and then gave him a quick hug. While the rest of guys are out in the living room, the groom is standing in the master bedroom.
As he stands in the front of the full length he sees Devon appear standing next to him causing the groom to face his brother-in-law. "How do you feel bro?"
There are some many words that could best describe how he is feeling at the moment. Psyched, stoked, and excited are just a few words that most definitely would describe what he's currently feeling but at the same time it essentially goes what beyond words can even describe. However, if he could best sum it up he would use one word that is truly fitting a momentous occasion like this.
"I'm feeling awesome Devon." he replied expressing a big smile on his face.
"I think you're missing something." he stated.
Chuck expresses a questionable look on his face as he does an immediate mental checklist in order to figure out what he could be possibly missing. In that brief moment, he doesn't think he's forgotten anything inevitably responding to Devon. "Nope…" he answered shaking his head. "…I don't think I'm missing anything." firmly stated the groom.
"Oh contraire." he said. Chuck notices Devon reach into coat in order to take something out causing him to wonder what it is. "You're gardenia boutonnière sir." he added holding it up in his right hand for him to see. The soon to be husband of Sarah Walker shakes his head a bit seeing what he's holding in his brother-in-law's right hand. "You can't get married without this hanging on the lapel of your coat." he said reaching over to stick place it on the left side of his lapel.
It take a second for Devon to place the boutonnière on and then firmly pats with both hands his brother-in-law on either side of his arms. Upon doing so, Chuck turns to look at himself in the full length mirror one last time and then takes a deep breathe. He expresses a smile and then turns to Devon to quickly pat him on the left shoulder. Both men head to the living room where the rest of the guys are and then out to the swan lake area.
While that is happening, Sarah is in suite 20 putting a few last minute touches in order to make herself presentable for Chuck. Cassidy, who returned from spending a brief time with Bryce, notified her in private that he's here and even though she acknowledges his surprising attendance her focus is purely on Chuck. The bride wants her focus to be on Chuck's reaction once she steps through the doors.
She knows that the look on his face once he sees her will be a memorable moment that will be engrained in her mind for years to come. She doesn't want anyone or anything to spoil it for her because to her the most important aspect of the wedding is the moment when she immediately locks eyes with Chuck. In her mind, when she does that nothing else will seem to matter as they share that one special moment together.
Her thoughts are abruptly ended when she feels the veil being placed on her head. She glances at Cassidy who she sees her flashing a quick smile as her older sister and maid of honor makes a few minor adjustments to it in order to have it make absolutely perfect. She then hands Sarah the gardenias bouquet fpr her to hold. It's at that point, Sarah's wedding planner gets the sister's attention as she stands in the doorway of the master bedroom.
"It's time." she soft said expressing a wide smile on her face.
Sarah returns the smile to Mary and then turns to her older sister who gives her a quick nod. In that moment, she's ready and when she steps out into the living room the first person she locks eyes with is her father standing there with a proud smile on his face. She walks over to him passing her bridesmaids, flower girls, and the ring bearer to stand in front of him beaming with absolute joy.
"You look beautiful doodlebug." he proudly said leaning in to kiss her on top of the forehead.
Sarah briefly closes her as she feels her father's soft kiss on her forehead. When she opens them again, she peers up at him expressing a thankful smile. "Thanks daddy." she replied.
In that instance, Cassidy steps forwards causing Sarah and her father to look her way. She sees her older sister reach behind her head to take hold of the white veil and pull it over her face. Once that is done, Sarah sees her father step to her right side, turn around and then stand right next to her holding hold out his left arm. He turns his head to look at his youngest daughter and says three words. "Are you ready?"
"I am." she softly said looping her left right around her fathers.
Sarah turns her attention to her wedding planner giving her the nod telling Mary it's go time. The bridesmaids, flower girls, as well as the ring bearer are herded out of the room one by one to the hallway outside leaving Sarah, her father, and Mary who is holding the door the last in the room. The bride feels her father squeeze her left hand and after taking a quick father-daughter moment she is escorted out the door as Sarah's wedding planner follows behind them letting the door close behind her.
