A/N: I'm back! I decided to post another chapter because the last was kind of boring. This chapter finishes the interviews. I tried to wrap them up quickly because I didn't think they seemed very interesting.
The Interrogation Room that Casey was put in
General Beckman entered the room that Casey had been put in alone. She proceeded to ask him the same basic questions that either Director Graham or she had asked the others so far.
"Let's begin." General Beckman began. "I will begin by asking some basic questions before continuing with the events of the last couple of weeks. Answer all questions with a yes or a no. Do you understand Major Casey?"
"Yes ma'am." Casey answered respectfully.
"Is your name current cover name John Casey?" the General asked.
"Yes"
"Are you an agent for the National Security Agency?" she continued.
"Yes"
"Were you in any way involved in Brook leaving her and her sisters' apartment?"
"No"
"Were you aware of Fulcrum's existence and/or its activities before Director Graham and I informed you?"
"No"
"Are you a rogue agent?"
"No"
"Okay Major Casey." General Beckman said, unhooking the lie detector machine. "Why don't you tell us your version of what happened?"
"Yes ma'am." Casey stated before beginning to tell his version of the story. The night when Brook left I got a call from Agent Walker. That was probably at about 10 p.m. She went down to Castle that night but I waited for the morning so the mor- I mean the Asset would not be left alone. The next morning, I took the Asset and we started searching for Brooklyn. About a week and a half later the other members of the former C.A.T. Squad, Carina and Zondra, and we continued searching. We got a good lead and went out looking. We found Brooklyn and got her in the car. We were on our way back to Castle, but something happened. I'm not exactly sure what. The next thing I remember was waking up in what appeared to be a basement. Zondra and Carina were each on one side of me. Bryce and Brooklyn walked in and a few minutes after that we were back on our way. We met Walker and then came down here. That was when we met you and Director Graham." Casey finished.
"Thank you Major Casey." General Beckman said. "Can we get you anything? Water, maybe some food?"
"No thank you."
"Okay" and with that, General Beckman exited the room.
Zondra's interrogation room - Same time as Casey's interrogation
Zondra was sitting in the interrogation room extremely annoyed. She was thinking over what had happened since she got the call about Brook. Her thoughts were interrupted by Director Graham entering the room and sitting down across from her. She huffed loudly before sitting up straighter.
"Let's begin." Director Graham stated. "I will begin by asking some basic questions before continuing with the events of the last couple of weeks. Answer all questions with a yes or a no. Do you understand?"
"Yes sir" Zondra respectfully responded to Director Graham.
"Is your current cover name Zondra?" Director Graham asked.
"Yes"
"Are you an agent for the Central Intelligence Agency?" Director Graham continued the questioning.
"Yes"
"Were you in any way involved in Brook leaving her and her sisters' apartment?"
"No"
"Were you aware of Fulcrum's existence and/or its activities before General Beckman and I briefed you on the subject?" the Director inquired.
"No"
"Are you a rogue agent?"
"No"
"Okay." Director Graham said, unhooking the lie detector machine. "Why don't you tell us your version of what happened?"
"Yes sir." Zondra said before beginning her story. "When I received the call saying that Brook had run away, I was very surprised. It just did not seem like her to do something like that. I packed my bags and was on the next plane out. I met up with Carina when we were at the airport and we rode here in the car that the CIA provided. We got here and talked to Chuck and Casey for awhile before either of us even saw Sarah." Zondra paused, "Actually, I saw her before Carina did because I took her food. Sarah was still mad at the world right then, so she snapped at me and refused to take the food. We all kept talking for awhile before Carina went to ask Sarah if she had any relevant information to help us find Brook faster. She was still mad, so Carina left. A couple of days passed with us still searching when we found her in an alley. We got her in the car and were on our way back here, to Castle. I don't remember much after that, but I think we all passed out. The next thing I remember is waking up in what I think was a warehouse basement, handcuffed to a chair with Casey next to me and Carina on the other side of him. Brooklyn and Bryce came in the room and talked to us for a few seconds before dragging us into a van and driving us here. Then we came down and saw you." Zondra finished.
"Thank you Agent." Director Graham said. "You will remain here until we speak to the rest of the group. Would you like a glass of water or something to eat?"
"No sir, thank you though." Zondra answered respectfully. After hearing her answer, Director Graham left the room.
Bryce's interrogation room
The main questioning part of Bryce's interrogation went much the same as the other interrogations. At the end he started explaining the information that he had found on Fulcrum.
"I had heard from some of my contacts around the various agencies that Fulcrum had a potential location where the Human Intersect could be located. I went undercover in Fulcrum to try and earn their trust. I ended up working on their Intersect task force and found that they were too close to the Intersect. They knew he was a nerd herder at the Buy More, they just didn't know which one of the Nerd Herders it was. I knew that if it was the same morons who used to work their then it would not take long for them to figure out that Chuck had to be the Intersect. I was working with Brooklyn to try and stop the threat."
"Why didn't you tell us this?" General Beckman asked.
"It's not that I didn't trust you or Director Graham or even the team. I just knew they had bugged Castle and that they had eyes on the team, including Carrie and Zondra. The only one that I was positive was not under surveillance was Brook, and why would she be, she seems to be just a regular kid whose guardians just happens to be a spy. My plan stopped working when Agent Walker and Brooklyn got into a fight and Brook ran away. All my Intel on Fulcrum is in the van I drove here."
"We know." Director Graham said. "We have already decided how we are going to continue with the Intel that you provided for us."
With that, the Director and the General stood and released Larkin, instructing him to go to the main open conference room and wait for the rest of the team. Then, the three of them left the interrogation room.
Main Conference Room
Director Graham and General Beckman stood at the front of the conference room, looking at the agents from various agencies, and Brooklyn, standing across the table. Casey stood to their far left. Next to him was Chuck. Brook was next, her sister on the other side, holding her close with her left arm. Next to them stood Zondra. Then Bryce stood, right next to Carina. He had his arm around her waist, holding her close.
The CIA Director began the briefing. "Through the information we gained from the various interviews with you all, we have come to some decisions about the future of this team." The Director looked directly at Sarah as he said this, causing her to worry a little.
General Beckman took over at this point. "We have decided that Chuck and Casey will remain here with their current covers. Zondra will also stay here; her cover will be a college friend of Chuck's who ended up working with Sarah in DC. The hotel room that Agent Walker and Brooklyn are currently residing in will be checked out of and Zondra, Brook, and eventually Agent Walker will be moving into an apartment complex identical to Chuck's that is less than five minutes away from there."
"Excuse me, General," Sarah began, confused. "You said eventually I would be in the apartment, where am I going to be beforehand?"
Director Graham took back over here "Agent Walker, it has been decided that while your actions in the past two weeks do not constitute us removing you from the assignment or removing you from the agency, they were still inexcusable. That is why you are being sent back to Langley for a seven week retraining and recertification in all areas of your training. If you fail to pass, you will be kept on the team with your current cover but you will be removed from all field work for the foreseeable future. You leave in tomorrow. Understood?"
"Yes sir." Sarah responded quietly, looking down. Director Graham and General Beckman then turned to Agents Larkin and Hansen so Brook took the turn to glance up at her sister and give her a small, encouraging smile, before they both turned their attention back to the briefing.
General Beckman was just beginning to give Bryce and Carina their assignment. "Agent Larkin, you and your wife will go back undercover with Fulcrum to help this team bring them down."
There was a silent moment before the rest of the group exploded with questions.
"Wife?!"
"What is going on?"
"When did that happen?"
"Calm down!" Director Graham bellowed. "Now, we will leave and you all can talk about whatever you want. Agent Walker I expect you in my office at 10:00 tomorrow." and with that, Director Graham and General Beckman left the room.
A/N: Hope you enjoyed! Let me know in a review. I have decided that I am going to continue this story inside of this story, not in a sequel. Sarah's time in DC, however, will be put in a different story that I will be posting the first chapter of hopefully this week. So look for that and I will see you next time on Chuck vs One Little Change!
