Chapter 8

Ellie pov

Eleanor Faye "Ellie" Bartowski Woodcomb knew something fishy was going on and it involved her little brother. Well, 'little' not in the actual sense of the word. As he was two to three inches taller than her but you get the message right. Two weeks ago everything was good in Ellie world. She had married a wonderful man and spend two most romantic weeks with him. Her brother had a girlfriend and they were good together. She liked Sarah. Well, it started going downside when she arrived outside the Burbank arrival terminal and didn't find her brother waiting for her. This had never happened she knew her brother. He was always there to pick her up whenever she came home from the medical conference or any other trip. He was even there when once her flight landed at 0200 hours. She scolded him for that and said that she would have come home alone and he didn't need to come but he just smiled and said he would always be there to welcome her home whenever and at whatever time she came home. She may have scolded him but from within she was very happy. After their parent left them they only had each other and she was afraid that her brother will become distant when he grew up. So when he was not at the airport she was worried but dismissed it. Her worry grew more when she came to the house and found her brother room empty. So she sat her bag in her room and went straight to Sarah hotel. Where she found out that her brother had found a job for which he had gone to training. Sarah didn't know about when he will be back. She couldn't help but feel something fishy was going on.

So when after one operation her phone beeped signaling that she had a message from Chuck. She was relieved but the feeling quickly left when the message said To Follow the instruction and bring Morgan and Devon with her and don't tell anyone not even Sarah.

So here she was in Chuck bedroom with Devon and Morgan flipping the switch five times, just as she did it the fifth times a patch of wall slide open and a scanner appeared beside the bed after her hand was scan. The word read "Welcome to base 2 Ellie" and the floor slid open stair leading downward. As they moved downward light came to live bathing the whole room in brightness. It was not a big room only the size of Chuck bedroom with a blank monitor.

"Woo, it looks like a movie of a spy. I am going to turn it on" Morgan said and went to turn the computer on before Ellie could have said anything. The monitor began to come to live and word appeared on it "Identifying persons" while a red laser began to move from their head to their legs after it had completed again words appeared.

"Identification complete welcome Ellie, Morgan and Devon (Their photos appeared on the screen). Self-destruction sequence off"

Then a voice came from the speaker "Good evening Ellie, Devon and Morgan it is good to finally meet you Chuck has said a lot about you."

Ellie looked around Devon was looking around in confusion; Morgan was looking at it as if his dream has come to live. When it began clear that they are not going to be able to say a word She asked "who are you"

"I am a computer program and my name is Lisa. More of it is going to be explained by Chuck." The voice replied.

"You know where Chuck is," Ellie asked all her previous question about the voice forgotten.

"I don't only know where Chuck is but you will be able to speak to him in few minute. I have sent him a text that you have arrived at the base." Lisa replied

'Where is Chuck" Ellie asked.

"He will tell you that shortly. I only ask you to listen to him fully. You don't know how much he wants to tell you this." Lisa replied

After a minute or two, Lisa spoke again "Chuck is in base connecting you to him." A video conference opened with Chuck and a woman sitting in front of screen,

"Hello, sis, captain and Morgan nice to see you meet Hannah. Hannah meet Ellie, Devon, and Morgan." Chuck introduced them

"Chuck what happened when I came you were not here. Your room was empty and Sarah said that you got a job offer. Ellie asked trying her most to keep her voice steady. She did note the angry scroll on the woman face as she said Sarah name.

"That what CIA and NSA are saying about it. That you got a new job….." Hannah started to say but was cut off by an angry glare by Chuck.

"Ellie what I am going to say are secret like kill if you now secret you have to promise to not tell anyone what I am going to tell you," Chuck asked sincerely when Ellie nodded he began.

"About twenty years ago there was a scientist working on an NSA-CIA secret project. He thought that data can be stored in the human brain. His name was Orion….." Chuck began but was cut off by Ellie whose patience was wearing was desperate to know where Chuck was.

"While it is interesting to know about the scientist I want to know about you chuck and why did you not bring Sarah here," Ellie said her voice increasing slightly

"Ellie I know you are worried but please let me explain if by the end of this explanation you are not satisfied you can be angry, worried and scold me but please let me continue, " chuck said when Ellie again nodded he continued.

As I was saying "The name of the scientist was Orion, actually he was working on software that can find the pattern between clues but he got the idea that the data can be stored inside the human brain. When his son downloads the framework and all the data on his computer in his brain. He quickly told the possibility to his superior in NSA-CIA. They all agreed as if the information can be directly downloaded in the agent's brain it would save the briefing time and help the agent as they would not have to memorize the mission detail like building blueprint etc. Thus Project Intersect was born and he was making progress in it. Unfortunately, his personal life was not going as well as his job. His wife had left him and their son and daughter. He was spending more and more time on the project instead of his children. They were managing that but the bad agencies found about the intersect project and start planning to kidnap him. Orion realizing that his children were in danger because of him decided to leave. So his children found themselves orphan at the tender age of fifteen and ten. The girl was fifteen and the boy ten" Chuck said looking directly at Ellie. Ellie began to understand where the story was going but stopped herself from asking questions and let Chuck continue.

What Orion didn't know that when his son downloaded the data it had more effect than he had realized. The brother and sister lived a difficult but happy life. The sister went on to become a doctor while her brother got admitted to Stanford but as he was looking at his acceptation letter from a voice came inside his mind. The program that h had downloaded had developed. So for the rest of his holiday, he made the gadget to remove the program from his brain to a safe server on the internet. He named the program Lisa and with the help of her was able to predict the stock market. With his first money, he cleared all his sister education loan and bought a house in Burbank. but his happiness was short-lived as his roommate a and best friend got him expelled and slept. While going to his sister on the plane he meets a woman named Hannah with whom he started a company which he named Carmichael Industries. Then he went on to tell how he got the intersect about his mission, about Sarah about Casey about everything. When Chuck finished his story he looked at three stunned people.
