Chapter 12
Casey and the rest of the team gathered in the communications room for their debrief with General Beckman He noticed that room was eerily quiet. There is no way to prepare them for what was coming. Casey hoped they don't buckle under the pressure that is one Diane Beckman.
The screen lit up and the General's face appeared.
"Colonel, WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED OUT THERE? The asset is injured, in what should have been a routine surveillance op."
"Agent Rhodes, were you so distracted by Agent Bartowski's brown eyes to keep yours open and see those 2 coming in, or were you too worried about getting in his pants?" The general stated.
Casey looked at Sammie and smirked, Guess she got what was coming to her.
"The only good news from the op, aside from the fact that we captured the drug lord is that we seem to have an excellent ops manager in Tech Mary Houston. Good job, you are dismissed."
Casey had never seen someone run so fast out of the room.
"Col. Casey, what have we gotten out of De La Huerta?'
"From what I understand, he is singing like a canary. Giving us lists of when the drugs and guns are coming in so we can intercept them and who his suppliers are."
"And what of Mr. Bartowski. What are the extent of his injuries?
"He has a laceration above his right eye that was stitched. He broke his left thumb to get out of his cuffs. He had to have his spleen removed, and his left ribcage is like gravel. Lastly the left side of his face is swollen over. They had to cut above his left eye to prevent permanent damage. . His sister says that Chuck should be out of the recovery room by tomorrow night. Other than his ribs; his injuries will take a week or two to heal."
"OK. I am going to bench the team for two weeks. While he recovers Colonel, I want you to head up the op with your old team to intercept those shipments. Agent Rhodes, you will be having mandatory sessions with Dr. Kent. You are benched until I feel that you are ready to be an effective team member Is that understood?"
Agent Rhodes looked up "Yes Ma'am."
"Agent Casey, you are dismissed. Agent Rhodes, stay behind." The general said without smiling.
"Good luck" Casey said as he left the room.
"Agent Rhodes how did your subsequent mission go?" The general asked.
"It went as well as could be expected Ma'am. Chuck definitely reciprocated the kisses Ma'am. His body responded to mine. A few more missions without Walker, and he will be all ours." Sammie said with a smile on her face.
"Unfortunately, you have made this a lot harder Agent. With him getting injured like he did, Walker may actually start to get a hold of herself, and get back into the field faster. You are going to have to step it up with him during the training sessions. Make sure that you schedule them during Walker's chats with the good Doctor." The general suggested.
"Yes Ma'am, I'll do my best." Sammie said with a small smile on her face.
"See that you do Beckman out." With that the transmission cut out.
Chuck woke up in a world of pain He felt his face with his right hand, he felt the bandages on the right side of his face and he could not open his left eye. He did however feel some extra weight on his left side of his body, although it was carefully missing his ribs, there was a mess of blonde hair laying in the crook of his arm.
He stroked her hair and tried not to wake her, but it was too late she started to murmur in her semi sleep.
"Mmmm... Chuck, lower baby. Yes. Just like that." Sarah moaned.
He almost felt like a voyeur. When he saw Ellie come in the door, he had to try and wake Sarah up. He started to gently shake Sarah but it didn't work It just made her moan louder.
Ellie came up to the bed and put her hand to her mouth, trying to stifle a laugh. Chuck shot her the best look he could, even though half his face was bandaged up.
"Sarah sweetie, I really need you to wake up now, we are in a hospital bed remember." Chuck pleaded with his girlfriend. As she started to wake up she wiped some drool off her mouth. Sarah smiled at Chuck and said "How are you feeling baby, I heard you did a great job on those men. I am sorry you had to go thru that, but, I gotta tell ya, I am going to love your scars." Sarah said, trying to lighten the mood.
Sarah heard someone clear their voice and she embarrassedly looked up at Ellie's smiling face. Sarah nearly vaulted off the bed that had previously held both her and Chuck.
"I, I, gotta go" and Sarah raced out of the room as fast as she could. Chuck tried to call out to her, but she was gone.
"Don't worry I'll speak with her' Ellie said. "Now let's get a look at those injuries.
Sarah had made it all the way to her room without anyone stopping her. She then realized that her door was locked. She padded herself down to see if she had the key card, but then remembered that Ellie had it. They were sharing a room. All of a sudden she heard
"Looking for this?" Ellie was standing behind her waving the card in the air. She moved past Sarah, who had her head down, and opened the door. After they both entered the room; Ellie pushed Sarah to the couch. Even though Sarah considers Ellie a sister, she was getting aggravated that the great Sarah Walker had gotten man handled by a civilian twice in less than twenty for hours.
"Look Sarah, I want to start off by apologizing for slapping you last night You had lost it. I didn't want anything to happen to Chuck. I diffused the situation as best I could. Now, care to tell me why my brother thinks he did something wrong. You bolted out of the room, a few minutes ago, like you got caught with your hand in the cookie jar?" Ellie asked as she tried not to smile.
"Well I for one was embarrassed. First, by what you heard, and then as much as I love you brother, I hadn't decided whether I was going to slap him for what he did to get put in that room. So I decided to leave." Sarah said while leaning back against the back of the couch.
"Ok let's say that I believe that, Sarah you really scared me last night. You really need to get over this thing that you have with brunettes." Ellie spoke with a frankness that Sarah had not heard from her before. But just a she was going to respond, there was a knock at the door.
Sarah got up to answer it. It was Dr. Kent. "Hi Laur…uh Dr. Kent, I didn't miss an appointment did i?" Everything was jumbled in her head this morning. She wasn't sure.
"No Sarah you didn't and its Lauren right now. I am off the clock; I was apprised of the situation last night by your Agent Casey. Who, by the way, is quite the good looking man. If he could get that scowl off his face, oh I am sorry I didn't know that you had company." Dr. Kent turned to leave, when Ellie stopped her.
"Wait, you don't have to leave. I am Ellie Bartowski, nice to meet you."
"So you are Charles sister. It is nice to meet you. Your brother is quite the man."
"Yeah, that's what I am learning Won't you stay. We were just discussing Sarah's problems with brunettes. By the way, what are you a Doctor of, I am also a Doctor in emergency medicine."
"I am technically Sarah's psychiatrist, but more importantly I have come to think of her as my friend." Sarah smiled, but was getting uneasy. Now she had two women to gang up on her. She was going to get Casey back later. However the Doc finds Casey attractive. Hmm maybe I will set him up with her; that would certainly be revenge. Casey having to talk about his lady feelings.
"So tell me more about this problem Sarah has with brunettes, we haven't touched up on it really yet. I thought it was any woman who looked at Chuck. So Ellie, tell me about this phobia she has?"
If it wasn't 8:15 in the morning, Sarah would have opened a bottle of wine instead she tried to change the conversation, "Is anybody else hungry? I can get some food brought down from the commissary."
As the food arrived, Lauren and Ellie were knee deep in conversation. Sarah sat back nodding her head till they asked her a question.
"So let me get this right" Lauren asked Sarah, "Before you met Chuck he was heartbroken over his ex girlfriend Jill, who just happens to be a brunette?"
"Yes that is correct." Sarah answered. .
"Then, after you emphatically told Chuck, he could not have a relationship with you that was real because of rules and regulations. At the same time, you never hinted to Chuck that you actually wanted a real relationship with him; he broke up with you to pursue a relationship with the deli owner Lou, which you coincidently managed to sabotage." Lauren again asked.
"Yes that is correct, but he also broke up with me because Bryce Larkin told him that I could get killed if I wasn't paying attention to my job. I was going to tell him that night that I wanted a real relationship with him. Then he dropped that bomb on me. It broke my heart."
"So then you resumed your cover relationship, after you sabotage it Did you tell him that you cared for him then?
"No, but I told you that I am not very good at talking about my feelings, I felt that my actions told Chuck what I was feeling."
"Sweetie" Ellie chimed in, "as much as I love my brother, he is just a man, and they are not that perceptive."
"OK. So the cover is back on, Chuck has several run ins on missions with beautiful attractive brunettes. You feel threatened, and yet you still did nothing to help yourself out of that jam."
"I know. I would go home and drink some wine and cry myself to sleep. I was a mess at night. The only time I got a good night's sleep was when I stayed in Chuck's bed on cover date nights." Sarah said as a smile crept on her face.
"Much like I found you this morning" Ellie said again.
"Yes Ellie, just like that, however last night wasn't any cover."
"Oh I know, we all have known how you have felt for my little brother for a long time now."
"Ok. So after the disastrous outing were you guys stayed in the suburbs." Sarah went to interject but Lauren held up her hand and said "Chuck's words not mine, at Ellie's urging, he gave you two a break, and got back together with Jill again."
Sarah looked like she was about to cry, and Ellie went over and hugged her "shhh it's ok sweetie. It's almost over."
Her breath hitching Sarah answered "Yes that is correct."
"Finally, when Jill tried to kill you, you said that Chuck came back and saved you, and then arrested Jill, is that correct?"
"Yes it is." Sarah responded Lauren asked a very specific question "Sarah, what did Chuck say to Jill when he arrested her?"
"He said that when she tried to kill, me that he would not let her and that he was breaking up with her for good."
"Don't you see Sarah, in that moment, Chuck chose you over Jill, the blonde over the brunette, you broke the cycle Sarah, and he chose you. No matter what happens in the future, no matter who he has to seduce or cover date, you have forever won his heart. You just need to let him in and he will come home to you."
"Thank you guys, you have helped me a lot, I know I need to tell Chuck how I feel. Then make sure that he understands no matter what, I am not going anywhere."
"Sarah you are not done. This is just the tip, but at least we know why you had the breakdown, and what some of your mental blocks are. We still have work to do, but let me assure things will go a lot smoother now.."
As they wrapped up, everyone wanted to shower and check on Chuck, but before Sarah saw him, Dr. Kent wanted a word with him. Lauren and Ellie had become fast friends, and they all made a date for the following week for a girl's night out. Sarah told Ellie to take the shower first, that she wanted to think for a little bit.
Meanwhile, Chuck was by himself in the recovery room. He was trying to explore The Intersect. With its new menus, he's constantly finding and evolving. He has figured out that he can force flash things now, and that the new intersect has a lie detector in it. He has been also looking at its two new code features. One is a new code breaking technology; the other is a list of all government codes and passwords. There was one set that he paid particular interest to. Once he saw this, a plan formed in his mind right away. Chuck then notices the door open, and Sammie walked in sporting a wicked black eye. It looked like she may have had a clump of hair missing.
She timidly walks up to Chuck's bed and starts apologizing right away. His lie detector went off. He wasn't sure what she was lying about. The trying to sleep with him, or almost getting him killed. She leans down and gives Chuck a hug and a kiss on the cheek, but then she casually starts to move it towards his mouth. Chuck tries to tell her to stop, but she more forcefully kissed him, and moved to engulf his mouth, She slid her tongue into his mouth as he was trying to say no. Chuck took the arm that was in the wrist brace, and put it in between them to try and pry her off of him. However, with him laying in the bed, he was at a disadvantage with her weight on him.
Dr. Kent went to enter the room, when she saw the floor show that was going on. Her anger rose because this was Sarah's Chuck, who was trying to push the woman away and she clearly wasn't taking no for an answer. She also knew what this would do to Sarah if she walked in and saw this going on.
"Chuck just listen to me please, I can make you happy, I am so in love with you Chuck. Why can't you just love me back, you know that we would be great together" Sammie was saying this in between kissing Chuck all over.
"Sammie, just leave and we can forget this ever happened. You know that I am committed to Sarah, please don't make me contact General Beckman." Chuck pleaded with her, trying to make her see reason.
"Beckman, ha! She wants this as much as I do" Sammie proceeded to say as she went in for another on kiss on Chuck's soft lips.
As she kissed Chuck again he replayed her comment with the use of The Intersect and determined that was the truth, she must not have even realized that she had said it.
Ok this is enough. Doctor Kent decided, and she cleared her throat, while walking up behind Agent Rhodes. That seemed to startle Sammie a little bit. Doctor Kent then addressed the two of them. "Agent Rhodes I expect to see you in my office in twenty minutes. After I am done speaking with Charles here, you had better be cleaned up and on time am I understood?" Dr Kent said in a overly stern voice.
"Of course, yes Ma'am. Bye Chucky!" Sammie squealed as she left the room.
After Sammie ran out of the room, Doctor Kent walked up to Chuck's bed and started to talk to him. "My god, what is it with you and these brunettes?" She laughed to herself sounding just like Sarah. "How are you feeling?"
For a moment Chuck was still lost in the replay in his mind and thinking how that was the nail in the coffin for him to implement his plan. "Wha.. oh I am sorry I was lost in thought. I am doing pretty well; the swelling is going down on the left side of my face. Hey doc, I tried to fight her off. You saw me right; Sarah will kill me if she finds out. I just couldn't hit her though."
"Chuck it's ok, I will make sure Sarah understands." Doctor Kent felt bad for him.
"I just wanted to stop in and see how you were holding up.." Doctor Kent said with a smile.
"I appreciate that doc. Although, I am missing the company of the lovely Sarah Walker, but aside from that I am doing ok. Hey can you hand me that paper and pen please." Chuck asked with the nicest smile he could muster.
"Sure Chuck, you know if you don't want to upset Sarah, you might want to wipe that lipstick off of your face, it is all over." She said with a laugh. "Here you go."
"Thank you; hey after I am done writing this note can you please deliver this to Col. Casey? Please don't discuss this with anyone, or let anyone know that I asked you to do this for me; especially Sarah." Chuck said while he was removing the lipstick.
The note read,
Casey please do not discuss this with anyone, especially Sarah. I need you to get a few things for me. Set up a meeting between you, me, Ellie, and Sarah in 2 days on Thursday morning. Now here is what I need, I need 3 high power frequency jammers, one SAT phone, a G-5 pre-charted to fly to Washington D.C. for the following day. I also need $500 dollars in cash, a mannequin, some more bandages, a suit, a FBI badge, and lastly a way to get out of the building with out Beckman, the staff, or Agent Rhodes seeing me leave.
Thanks in advance
Chuck.
"Doctor Kent, again thank you. Hey by the way, how is Sarah doing in her recovery?" Chuck asked, not really sure that he would get an answer.
"We made some great progress today. Let me tell you she really hates brunettes coming onto you. Also, your sister should be an interrogator for the CIA do you know that."
"Tell me something I don't know, you should have seen Ellie when Sarah and I started dating, but thank you for telling me doc, I know you didn't have to tell me. Can you get that note to Casey ASAP? Thank you.
"Will do, and your very welcome" As Dr. Kent left the room, she pulled out her own SAT phone and dialed a number. "It's me he is doing better. I will keep an eye on him. We have a problem though, his sister is here (listening to other line) yes Ellie. When he came back injured from the mission she responded, and ran the O.R. She knows the whole story now. You really have to find a way to get it out of him. He is definitely planning something, but I am not sure what, and Walker can't control him when he is in this mood aside from the fact that she is hopelessly compromised herself with him. Anyway I will keep you updated out." Doctor Kent blew her bangs up out of her face, how did she become involved with this family drama.
As she walked down the corridor, Doctor Kent shook her head and went to find Col. Casey.
Later that evening after all her therapy and what not, Sarah brought some food for Chuck to the recovery room. He was looking much better. Even though the bandages were covering up his cute face, the swelling was almost gone. But she did notice a dark ominous look on his face.
"Hey sweetie how are you tonight?" Sarah came over to him and gave him a deep kiss.
"Well, I have been missing my incredibly sexy girlfriend, who apparently brought me dinner. What did you bring me to eat?" Chuck tried to smile.
"Grilled cheese, your sister said that was all you were allowed to eat until tomorrow. Although, if you play your cards right, you will have a dessert waiting for you when you're done." Sarah said with a giddy thought in her head.
Chuck had a look on consternation on his face.
"Chuck what's wrong, what's bothering you? Tell me baby" Sarah tried not to plead.
Chuck took a deep breath, fully knowing a fight was going to come. "Listen Sarah, I need to tell you some stuff, but I can't right now, just please give me a few days to collect my thoughts."
Sarah went to speak but Chuck held up his hand to let him continue.
"However, what I would like to talk about tonight is why you ran out of here this morning?"
"Chuck, I was embarrassed, I was extremely comfortable in your arms, and I was dreaming about us together. Then I woke up and saw the look on Ellie's face. I was so embarrassed because I know what must have slipped out of my mouth.
" Chuck, I want you to know that I love you with all my heart. I wasn't embarrassed about being with you at all, or the feelings I was having, just maybe a little that Ellie heard it. I will spend the rest of my life proving that to you." Sarah said smiling.
"Well you can prove it to me by doing two things for me!" Chuck said as firm as he could.
"Oh yeah. How?" Sarah said with a wicked smile on her face.
"Not like that just yet sweetie."
"But" Sarah seemed hurt. "First, please stop worrying about brunettes. No one is taking me from you. I will always be here for you. My heart and soul are yours forever and ever. Yes I did talk to Doctor Kent."
Before Sarah could say anything, Chuck continued.
"Finally, I am going to be discussing some things in the morning that you definitely won't like. But I need your support. Can you do that for me?"
"Chuck you are starting to scare me, but I will try and do as you ask. I can't guarantee that I won't worry, but I will do my best to support you." Sarah replied as honest as she could.
"Then for tonight can we just sleep together on this bed no interruptions?" Chuck asked as his eyes met hers.
"Yes baby forever, let me just go lock the door." Sarah went and locked the door, and climbed into bed with Chuck
The next morning Sarah awoke after an absolutely fabulous night's sleep. The best she had since Chuck went on his mission. However, as her arm drifted to the other side of the bed, she noticed it was cold, and her lover was not next to her.
"Chuck" she called out "Where are you?"
"CHUCK" this time she yelled out.
"I'm here" Chuck replied as he came from the bathroom, freshly showered. His hair was still wet. "Sarah, could you do me a huge favor. and cut my hair?"
"WHAT" "WHY?" she didn't understand, she loved his brown curls.
"It is for what we are going to be discussing in a few hours. I need it to be short, like G man short. Don't worry I will let it grow back ok."
Sarah reluctantly agreed. Chuck had coffee and bagels for her, while she started to cut his hair. After she was done with the clippers, she drank some coffee and a bagel; waiting for Casey and Ellie. A few minutes later, Casey, carrying a back pack, and Ellie entered the room. Chuck motioned them to be silent, and for Ellie to lock the door. He also motioned for Casey to turn on one of the jammers.
As soon as it is activated Sarah goes "Ok Chuck what the hell is going on?"
"Ok here goes, but first you guys have to agree to stay quiet till I get this all out ok, because you guys aren't going to like what I have to say."
Everyone agreed.
"While I have been laid up in the hospital wing, I have been exploring the new applications and uses for the new intersect. There are more than a few new things that for one you need to know. First it has a language program. The way it works, is if someone starts speaking a language that I don't know, it will automatically download into my head. The next, is a sort of lie detector of sorts. When I am speaking with someone, if they aren't being truthful with me, a little, I guess the only way to describe it, is a widget appears in the corner of my mind. And it does work, I used it earlier today, but we'll get back to that. It does have its flaws, but to know that someone is potentially lying can be invaluable in the field."
"The last two programs are different. They both deal with codes so I guess we can call them code breakers. From what I can determine one has a list of all codes for government agencies as well as more hacking skills than I have now. The last one is sort of like a replay feature on a DVR. I can hear a conversation and replay it in my mind and use the lie detector technology to see if they are telling the truth."
"Now just hold on one damn minute!" Casey said while scratching his head. "You're telling me that right now The Intersect is analyzing what I am saying, and will let you know if I am lying."
"Kind of, but not totally. It will tell me if there is something that you're not truthful about. It won't tell me specifically what you are lying about."
As Ellie was gearing up for her question out of the corner of his eye Chuck could see Sarah retreating into her shell, and moving away from him, as he went to her Ellie spoke up.
"But Chuck how does all this knowledge affect your brain, have you had a scan to see." Ellie was cut off by Chuck
"Ellie hold on, Sarah come to me, nothing has changed I am still the same old Chuck that you know and love."
"But you aren't Chuck, you know with this job, even though we have been given clearance to be together, there will be times were I can't tell you the whole truth. Then this thing will tell you that I am lying, and now this is just another road block, maybe we should just give up."
"Sarah, stop it. Everyone just stop. Ok geez this is why I was afraid to tell you. Ellie, no I don't know what the brain implications are, but there will be time enough for that later. Casey, you have my trust and friendship, I know that if you tell me a half truth it will nine times out of ten be for my own good. You don't have to watch what you say around me. Sarah, my dear sweet Sarah, the same goes for you. I know you would never lie to me on purpose. However, you do realize that it is a great tool if we are ever in a situation where things are out of hand, it's like code pineapple, if you guys lie to me, I know to get help, and or, to come in guns blazing. Look, this next part is more the part I was dreading telling you about."
Chuck took a pause then went into the next topic. Ellie went over and threw and arm around Sarah and gave her the boost she needed.
"Casey, this will be the hardest to hear for you but, Beckman and Rhodes are colluding with each other. They're up to something big, but I am not sure what. However, I have come up with a plan that will set this team up for the future, and protect all of us."
"How do you know that they're in this together?" Casey couldn't fathom his commanding officer going against the country that he loved.
"Well yesterday started it, Agent Rhodes came in here, and started to profess her apology which was I am pretty sure fake, but then attacked me with kisses and nearly raped me." (Chuck stole a glance at Sarah whose knuckles were turning white with rage. His eyes met hers and just asked her to calm down) "I have also had more then a few conversations with General Beckman. I replayed them in my mind, and now that I know what I am looking for, and how to access the detector, I was able to deduce that she lied four out of the ten conversations that we have recently had."
Chuck took a step forward and put as much authority into his voice that he could. "That is why I am going to travel to Washington D.C. tomorrow. I will be back late tomorrow night. I will need to take Mary Houston with me and just the items that you have procured for me Casey."
"Chuck, no you are not going alone. I am going with you." Sarah yelled.
"No you can't" (seeing the others about to speak up) Listen, I need all of you here. Casey I need you to make sure that Mary is not on duty tonight or tomorrow. Then I have a special project for you. I need you to keep Agent Rhodes busy so that she does not suspect that I am gone. I don't care how you do it, get her into a sparring match on the range, she thinks she can beat anyone."
"Sarah, Ellie you guys have the harder jobs. First, Ellie I' ll need you to stay at least two more nights, but I am pretty sure that it will all be worth it."
"Anything of course Chuck, but why?" Ellie asked without hesitation.
"Sarah, tonight you are going to call the medics to my room. I'm going to develop an infection that requires me to go into 24 hr isolation. Sarah will page for you over the intercom, and you guys will watch over me. As my girlfriend Sarah, you are going to be keeping Beckman at bay, and as my sister and my physician, Ellie you will be explaining why I a can't be spoken to. From what I am guessing, as soon as you guys make the call, Agent Rhodes will contact the General. Beckman will be calling within minutes to try and get updates, and or, speak to me."
"Casey, I know that you are wondering why I am including you in this op. Here is why you are. I know that you would not go to Beckman with this because you genuinely care about the team. I want you to understand this, so listen up. I know that you consider yourself the fat kid on this team, and that you are left out. But Casey even though you will probably hate this, I consider you as much a brother to me as I do Devon. I need your help to pull this off, so are we ok?" Chuck spoke from the heart and both Ellie and Sarah smiled at both of them.
"Yeah we are fine. Let's quit this lady feelings crap and get on with it" Casey said trying not to smile.
"Ok Casey, I know that we have this jammer, did you bring everything else that I asked for." Chuck was going to go down the list but Casey beat him to it.
"I have a total of three high frequency jammers, 1 SAT phone, here is the badge and the $500 dollars that you requested. I am including a gun with blanks in it. I am assuming you're going to play the part of a fed what with the hair cut and all. The G-5 is chartered, and on the tarmac awaiting your arrival. The suit will be inside., so you can't mess it up. The bandages are in your suite, although I took the liberty of procuring a body from the morgue, instead of a mannequin, because when the orderlies come to pick you up they will notice if it's made of plastic or not. Ellie can dress it up to look like you, and leave it in your bed. Once we are sure that no one will barge into the room to check on you, we will get rid of the body before it starts to stink. There will be a motorcycle waiting outside, with Mary in the drivers spot waiting to take you two miles down the road, where there will be a car waiting to take you the rest of the way to the airport. There will be a helmet in your room also. Just wear it out to the pick up area. One question, we have no pilot. Who is going to fly the plane?"
"Great job Casey, and thanks for that I didn't even think about that. I will be flying the plane. When I get into it I will flash on the controls. Also Mary, has her private plane license so she can fly if need be. If Beckman really starts making noise, contact Mary, she will have a way to get a hold of me. Otherwise, I will be out of contact until I am on my way back. If that's everything, let's get me back to my room, and out of here, so we can get ready for tonight." Chuck said all this with pride and determination.
"Chuck" Sarah finally spoke up before the jammer was turned off. "Who are you going to talk to in D.C.?"
"I want to tell you guys, but I can't for deniability reasons I just can't. When I get back tomorrow night, all will be revealed. Just please accept that. OK before we turn the jammer off, Casey please sure up any plans for me, and help Ellie dress up the stiff so he is ready to go, at the right time. I want to spend the rest of the day with Sarah. Guys let's just remember that the bandages must look like mine.. Casey, when I give you the signal, turn the jammer off. Ellie, I'm going to ask you some straight forward questions for whoever is listening to hear. I want you to stress the words possible infection ok. Oh and Ellie, can I get away without band aids now, and just a sling?"
"Yes Chuck you can, thank you. I would put the bandages back on till you got to the plane, so no one wonders why you had them off all day, but then they were back on when we get you from your room."
"Great point, Ok guys, lets go, I love you all, and can't thank you enough." Chuck made a slit at his throat for Casey to cut the power to the jammer.
Casey turned off the jammer and motioned to Chuck.
"Thanks Ellie, so I am discharged now? "
"For the most part Chuck, but you still have an opportunity to be infected again in the suture area. Sarah, I will need you to stay with Chuck for the rest of the day, and please check on those sutures all day. They were a little red. I don't want to set back his progress with a horrible infection." Chuck gave her the thumbs up.
"No problem, I won't let him out of my sight, Chuck sweetie let me push you down to my room, so we can get some sleep." She said with a wink.
"Ok. Thanks again guys, Casey, Ellie I will see you guys later." Chuck waved them off.
When they got to Sarah's room she pushed him in, and shut the door. He got up and instantly turned around. Chuck then gave her a scorching kiss that sent tingles all the way down to her spine. Then as fast as it began, it ended just as fast.
"Before we start this, we need to discuss this kiss between you and little miss bitch. What happened, how bad was it, and why did Lauren need to stop it? Also, don't forget that I am a human lie detector, so don't try brushing over details." Sarah said in fury, but still had a smile on her face.
Chuck sat on the bed waiting what was to come. "Look what happened was nothing different than if it were a mark that you or I have dealt with." Chuck threw up his hands in self defense.
"The difference is darling, I think you were enjoying it, someone chasing after you for a change, and I spoke with Lauren, and what she described to me was almost definitely like a rape." Sarah said turning around with a very serious look on her face.
"Listen Sarah, it was no different than when you had to make out with Lon Kirk on his boat or Cole in the basement of the castle, or Bryce in my bedroom on Thanksgiving." As soon as Chuck mentioned those he knew it was a mistake.
"Chuck, don't you dare compare those, the comparison ends when you made out with Sascha Banacheck, or La Cuidad, or for that matter Jill or Lou." Sarah said starting to fume.
"Malena" Chuck muttered under his breath.
"You even remember her name, boy it must have been that memorable." Sarah could not believe the conversation was going this way. "Chuck, she had you pinned down on the bed. Can't you see how dangerous this obsession she has for you is becoming? And by the way, since when do you like the name Chucky? Look it's not that she is a brunette, really it's not. Chuck, you are mine and I am going to fight tooth and nail to keep you.. Also, when a skank slams her tongue down your throat, and basically forces herself on top of you, telling you that she loves you; how would you react if it happened to me? What if it were Bryce or Cole? Hmmm."
"Look sweetie I love you with all my heart, please be careful of what you do in D.C. I am not a fan of this plan, but I won't try to stop you if you promise me, that if your plan starts to unravel, you back out and don't get yourself in more trouble. We can find a way to handle Beckman."
"Wow, Sarah do you realize that is the most you have ever spoken about your feelings to me ever? I love you to. I understand what you are saying about Sammie, and I promise to be careful in D.C. Now, come here, and let's not be apart any longer."
"Sarah sweetheart come to bed with me, and let me ease all your worries away." Chuck said in a delighted tone giving her the full Bartowski eyebrow dance.
"Well Mr. Bartowski, how could I resist an offer like that? Let me give you something to remember me by while you're away in that lonely city." After all they had been through; Chuck couldn't believe this was only the second time they were together. They made slow passionate love for the rest of the day. Sarah could never have imagined the kind of lover that Chuck would be, but whatever she did imagine, he surpassed everything by far. He was far superior to Bryce in every way. His lovemaking wasn't about him. He was all about her pleasure, and her pleasure 6 times over.
Chuck's alarm on his I phone went off around 9:30pm. He slid out of bed carefully, as to not wake Sarah. He went in and grabbed a shower, and when he came out she was sitting there on the bed looking at him.
"You didn't ask me to join you." Sarah sat there with a pout on her face. "Did I not meet your expectations? Was I not good enough that you didn't want me to join you?" Sarah wasn't sure were this had come from but she was upset, thinking that he hadn't enjoyed it as much as she did.
"Hey, oh, were did that come from. Baby, you were amazing, you exceeded my expectations infinitely, because I had none. I have always known that it would be heaven, because of the love that we share. Besides, you're my angel, and you were a gift sent to me from heaven; so how could I not have enjoyed being with you. Baby, you just looked so worn out that I decided to let you sleep. Besides our first time was a little rushed and we took our time this time and you looked so peaceful and happy, I figured I'd give you that for a little while longer till I had to get out of here." Chuck tried to say everything just right.
"Chuck the thing you need to learn, is that when it is that good and special, I am insatiable. You made me feel things that I've never felt before or even knew that I could feel. You are by far the best lover I have ever had." Sarah came up and gave him a big hug and a kiss, when he didn't reciprocate his normal way Sarah looked at him. "Don't tell me that its time."
"I am sorry, however your current state of undress has given me an idea, let's get the stiff in the bed and get ready. When you make the call, make sure that you have that really sheer negligee on. Then put that silk robe I got you, and just have it loosely open, not tied at all. Go ahead and make the call I am going to get in the closet" Chuck says as he finishes adjusting his bandages and puts the helmet under his arm.
"Chuck, why do you want me wearing this, if you are going to leave?"
"Well for a few reasons. You're beautiful, and when the orderlies come in with Ellie, they will pay more attention to you, and not realize that it's not me. Then, the word will get around what you were wearing, and then everyone will know what we did. Which means Sammie will hear it and hopefully that will solidify in her mind that I am taken. Finally, everyone will look at me like I am a god when I get back from D.C.." Chuck puffed out his chest and chuckled at himself.
"And I thought you'd never use me for my body!" Sarah said with a smirk. "Ok let me get dressed, and I'll make the call. Baby, give me one last kiss since I won't see you for 24 hours.
As Chuck made his way to the closet, he heard Sarah picking up the receiver and punch in the overhead speaker.
9:55pm
"I NEED HELP, I NEED HELP NOW PLEASE! Someone have the medical team report to Sarah Walker's room, Ellie if you can hear this I need help, please come help me." After she hung up the phone she whispered to Chuck, "How was that darling?"
"My god woman, you almost had me crying, you were great I'll see you soon, and contact you as soon as I can. You had better get back into position, Ellie will be here in a minute, love you."
"Love you to, and Chuck, be careful!" Sarah said as low as possible in case they were being monitored.
A mere few seconds later, Ellie came rushing in "Sarah what's happening Oh My God Chuck!" Ellie screamed. She immediately hunched over her brother giving him the once over. The orderlies hadn't gotten there yet so Ellie needed Sarah's help.
"Sarah, Chuck has a severe infection in the stitching in his abdomen; I need something to cover the wound. I also need a sterile knife do you have anything like that here?"
"Uhh, yeah, let me get that for you." Sarah handed Ellie the knife that had been in her thigh holster and watched as Ellie began to cut open the Fake Chuck's stitches and take a towel and placed it over the seeping wound. Just then the orderlies rushed in and helped Ellie to get Chuck on a stretcher.
"We need to get him to the isolation room stat" Ellie told the orderlies, while helping to push the gurney threw the halls as fast as possible. Sarah was following closely behind, with her robe openly flowing about.
As they wheeled Fake Chuck into the room, Ellie told the attendants to wait outside with Sarah while she hooked Chuck to all the monitors and got the IV's started with the antibiotics.
Sarah was sitting beside the room, collapsing on the floor. The orderlies were trying to calm her down, but were obviously distracted by her state of dress. (Chuck was right again damn) Sarah said to herself.
Both Casey and Sammie came running down the hall at the same time. "Walker what the hell is going on? I saw Chuck this morning and he was fine, did something happen?" Casey asked as he bent over to make sure she was ok.
"Oh John," Sarah said between sobs. "Ellie said that Chuck has some kind of infection. He got out of bed and when he stood up blood, puss and other stuff started spilling out of the wound from his spleenectomy. He started coughing up blood I didn't know what to do. So I just hit the loudspeaker button and called out for Ellie." Sarah said as she put her head down into her knees crying harder.
"Sammie" Casey said gruffly, "I am going to go back to Walkers quarters and get her something to cover herself in. While I am gone, try and get her to calm down please I maybe a few minutes, when I get back we will contact Beckman and apprise her of the situation."
As Casey rounded the corner, Sammie took the moment to look Walker over and noticed the skimpy outfit that she was in and she could not hold her comment back a second longer. "Jesus Walker, Chuck had just gotten out of recovery and you attack him wearing that. No wonder he tore thru his stitches and got an infection, wearing that anybody would jump you."
Sarah's eyes flew open and she could not control herself, Casey should have thought about this before he left her there with her alone. However in that split second before Sarah came back with a retort of her own she was glad Casey hadn't thought to leave them with a chaperon. Sarah just couldn't help taking a shot at Sammie herself.
"You bitch!, Maybe if you hadn't try to rape him the other morning, maybe he would not have the infection. Hell you probably have any number of communicable diseases." Sarah threw back at her.
"I'm clean, you slut" with that, her fist flew out and caught Sarah square in the jaw. The two orderlies just stood there watching the fight. When Ellie came out of the room, she could have sworn that she heard them taking bets. Ellie pushed right thru them and grabbed both women by their ears, just before Sarah got a shot of her own in.
"OWWWW" they both yelled. "Now both of you shut up, or I will shut you up myself." Ellie pushed Sarah to one corner while she pushed Sammie in the other.
