Chapter 15

Sarah pov

It has been two months since Chuck disappeared. He had left thinking that she had betrayed his trust. Every night after that she had cried her to sleep. What right did she have to be happy when she had thrown the most caring guy; she had the pleasure of knowing away. She cannot express her feeling in word and her habit of keeping secret again got in her way of finding happiness. She had lied to Chuck so much that the one time she was speaking the truth from the bottom of her heart he did not believe her. He did not believe her when she finally said that she loved him, He did not believe her when she said that there was nothing between her and Bryce, That her feeling for him was more than that of a friend, That she had never felt like this for anybody, That he was the most important person in the worlds to her. Not that she blamed Chuck for anything. She would have done the same thing, all the lies she had said to him who she had not been able to tell him anything in the fear of reassignment. Ever when he repeatedly asked her to admit her feeling for him or show him some sign of affection. She would how Chuck face would fall after her rejection but he tries again with a new silly but effective measure to win her and the one time she was ready he stopped and left. No Sarah Walker had no one but herself to blame.

When Chuck had disappeared, she thought that day would find him quickly although her heart said otherwise. She kept thinking that Chuck would walk through the castle door with his goofy smile and she would run into his arms, He would tell her that all was a nightmare and she was safe in his arms. Yes, this was a nightmare, the worst nightmare she had ever faced and she did not know how to come out of it. To think Sarah Walker, Graham wild card enforcer, would require a man huge to keep her from following into depression was laughable. A man should worship the ground she walked, they should be happy that she even looked at them. This was not some overconfidence but the truth and it had been true till she meets Chuck. Chuck had the ability to turn her from confident women to a teenage girl who had her first crush. Chuck had the power to generate thousands of butterflies in her stomach with just looking at her and that Bartowski eyebrow dance should be banned no It should be taught to the CIA interrogators. They had the power such that you want to tell your deepest secret. Only through years of training, she was able to control herself from blurting out everything and good it did to her. It was the cause of all her problem right now.

As she lay in her bed she thought of what she should do to find Chuck she know understood the saying that you only understand the value of a person when the person is taken away from you, Now that chuck is gone she misses him every possible way, his touch, the little things he used to do for her, his quite rambling …. . It had gotten so bad that five times she had packed her bag and almost left to search for him alone but then stopped thinking what if they caught Chuck when she was gone and then she would not be allowed to be in the same state with him as she would be considered a rogue spy. After General Beckman had benched their team for some time, she did not realize how much she needed it. Even Casey required it although he would never admit him. Two years of back to back mission had taken a toll on her body. A few weeks of normality was what she required, getting up late knowing that there is no mission today, talking to Ellie about her baby and Awesome increasing need with keeping Ellie from doing any work, listening to her complain about Devon on and about but secretly knowing that she was happy with him for caring so much made her feel almost normal. The only thing missing was Chuck and her life would be complete. She and Bryce had come to an understanding when he realized her feeling towards Chuck was just not some affair but true. He keeps his distance and is always there for her as a friend. He had taken upon himself to tell Sarah his and Chuck adventures in college. The tension that had gripped the team since Bryce had become the intersect was slowly fading. Although Sarah would never trust him as she done earlier. They were becoming friends…

Sarah was pulled out of her thought by her phone ringing Casey face was on the screen "What is it Casey" Sarah asked

"Beckman wants us in the castle asp" came Casey voice and the phone disconnected.

"Thank you, Casey and good morning to you," Sarah said to the phone and sighed.

Half an hour later Sarah made her way through the Castle entrance. Bryce, Orion, and Casey were already there. "What is this all about I thought we did not have any mission for at least two more weeks," Sarah said as she came to stand in the conference room.

Bryce and Casey gave him a look that said they worked for the government.

The screen lit up and General Beckman face replaced the blank screen "Good morning team. I know that I have cut your bonding time sort but this mission requires our best team and even after recent failure you are that team."

"Have you heard of the Carmichael industries" General continued without waiting for reply "the ring is going to target and try to obtain their new OS. After a lot of talks, they have agreed to allow one of our team to protect them. Team, I cannot stress the importance of this mission if this OS is to fall in the hands of the ring it will undermine our effort for many years. You are to check their security and protect them till their own security team takes over. I don't want to hear any complaints from them. Beckman out" general Beckman disappeared from the screen leaving the team shocked
