Chapter 9

Ellie pov

Ellie was first to recover from the shock and said: "So Chuck you are telling me my father worked for the CIA and he left away so that he could protect us from harm."

"Yep" Chuck replied

"You and Sarah were never together but I was so sure that you to love each other" She continued without showing any sign that she heard him.

Chuck opened his mouth to answer her but was stopped by a Hannah as she signaled by her eyes to let Ellie continue.

"John Casey who had dinner with us much time was in our house to kill my baby brother. Sarah left you for Bryce for all people. When I get my hand on that bitch I will make her pay and Casey too" She replied with conviction and anger.

"Ellie calm down I don't blame Casey and you can't go there and shout at them," Chuck said.

"Why he pretended to be our friend for two fucking years and dinner at our house and he tried to kill you" She shouted.

"Ellie he is a soldier and soldiers follow orders no matter if they like it or not. As I said earlier he helped rescue dad against the general order. You cannot shout at them because no one is supposed to know that I have told you anything or your life will be in danger" Chuck said.

"I can take care of myself," She said

"Ellie do you know that you have already be interrogated about my disappears," Chuck said

"When, if I was being interrogated I would have known" Ellie replied

Chuck replied "Not only you but Assume and Morgan too. Ellie does you remember the couple in your honeymoon they were CIA their names were Agent Zondra Rizzo and her partner Agent Mathew Likken" he pressed a key and their face and their general information appeared on the screen. After giving Ellie and Devon some time to recover he continued "And Morgan you remember Carina Miller, Sarah's friend which came to visit you she is DEA agent." And another picture appeared of Carina as well as her general information.

There was a minute or two of silence as everyone read the information. Ellie could not believe it Lily (Zondra) and Mike (Mathew) were CIA. They were so friendly that she never suspected a thing now that she think they were very interested about Chuck but were never open about it. Ellie would have never second guessed it if Chuck had not told her and looking at Morgan face he was also feeling the same. To read about the work that the three agents had done was itself an eye opener they had stopped terrorists attack, disposed bomb, caught drugs ring, recovered sensitive data etc.

Seeing as Ellie was blaming herself. Chuck quickly replied "Don't be hard on yourself Ellie. Spy are trained to be not detected cannot catch bosses if you got caught" Chuck joked trying to lighten the mood "But you understand now why I couldn't tell you this think earlier. Ellie, you have no idea how much I wanted to tell you "Chuck said

"So you are the owner of Carmichael Industries the maker of most liked games and gadgets," Morgan asked speaking for the first time.

"Yep, buddy and we are launching a new operating system soon so watch out," Chuck said

"Morgan you and your games couldn't you be serious for one moment" Ellie said angrily looking at him but the twinkle in her eyes gave it away.

"But Ellie it is the Carmichael Industries. They are the maker of the finest and most liked games, they are every nerd dream." Morgan replied

Ignoring Morgan, Ellie again turned to face Chuck and said "So I couldn't tell Sarah, Casey, and Dad anything too bad they are coming for dinner tomorrow. I don't know I can face them.

"Wait Dad is in Burbank" Chuck almost shouted.

"Yes, he has been here for the past three weeks" Ellie replied growing alarmed at the pale face of Chuck but it seems that Chuck had not heard her.

When Chuck spoke again he was not speaking to her " Lisa please find out what daddy dearest is doing in Burbank because when I last spoke to him he was planning to disappear again and please be careful of not being spotted and increase your firewall" while Chuck was busy typing on the screen.

"What is the problem Chuck," Ellie asked but it was Hannah who replied speaking for the first time since the video conference started she said, "Mr. Bartowskie is the only person who can break through Chuck encryption."

After some time Chuck stopped typing and replied: "Well at least he didn't know about our conference so there is no attempt to hack into this conference."

As they were chatting casually Devon said "Chuck I am so proud of what you had achieved. You don't know how much your sister used to worry about you" Chuck was going to reply when a beep distracted them.

"Looks like Lisa found something. Woo dad cannot make anything easy for me" Chuck said after looking at the paper

"What," Hannah asked?

"It looks like Beckman hired dad to be the consultant for team intersect or in another word to find me," Chuck said.

"Beckman General Beckman the same woman who issued the termination order for you," Ellie asked.

"It was Director and General were the one who issued order but you are right," Chuck said

"Chuck has you found anything about mom," Ellie said.

Silence followed her word as Chuck started looking everywhere except Ellie. Hannah put a hand on Chuck's shoulder" She deserved to know" Hannah encouraged Chuck.

"Ellie I promised myself that I would not hide everything from you. So I will tell you but do you want to know. I know that you always thought that mom died in some kind of accident that was one of the motivations for you to become Doctor so that you can help other like her do you really want to know because what you are thinking is better than what she did" Chuck said

When he saw Ellie node he sighed and continued "Ellie when dad left us I started searching for my mother in hopes of uniting our broken family and seeing the sacrifices you were making for us. You would never say it but I can see on your face when your girlfriend used to go to party and dates while you had to go to work. How stressed and tired you became at the end of the day. So I thought if mom was here some of your work would be reduced and you can enjoy your life. So I developed a program that would find mom in all the server and newspaper at that time like you. I thought that she must have an accident which caused her to lose her memory or landed her in the coma and that is why she could not come home. Dad had found some clue and had gone to bring her home. How foolish of me to even think about that. I just didn't want to accept that both our parent had left us…

Chuck stopped talking for a minute to regain the composer as he remembered that day. How hard it was for them. Hannah had again put her hand on his shoulder to provide some comfort while Devon had taken Ellie in his arm.

After some time Chuck said "Anyone I started to run the program. I still remembered that how excited I was to finally find our mom and dad. So that we can be the family like before. I started too soon lose hope as the program showed no match in the USA. Then it moved to Europe with the same result. It was four days and I had found no result but on the fifth day, I got a match. I was very excited as I opened the box. It said mom was in Russia in Moscow to be exact. As I read more the angrier I became I didn't find mom in any accident or hospital. It said that mom was the girlfriend of a rich bilinear at first I didn't believe it and I ran the program six times all showing the same result. It showed mom arriving at Moscow airport two days after she left us in the same clothes and been taken by some limousine. I become so angry at mom "While you and I were living at minimum food and in danger of being separated. She was enjoying her life with some bilinear. I thought to tell you but stopped myself what would I tell you that mom left us for some bilinear. It was better that you believed that she had an accident. And for that, I would never forgive her."

After some time they ended the video conference and went to their room.
