Chuck stared at the woman, whom he called mother for first 8 years of his wife. As he looked into her eyes which were much like him. He could feel the anger growing inside him it was very difficult to not shout at her but with great difficulty, more emotional than physical, he extracted her hand from her grip and asked with a blank face.

"What do you want Ms. Frost. I am sure Mr. Volkoff will not be happy with you dragging a young man and his daughter's boyfriend here?" Chuck said.

Marry was shocked by the blank mask on her son's face she had dreamed many different situations where she would meet Chuck and Ellie some had Chuck and Ellie jumping in her arms the moment they see her while she opalizes for her absences and other would require some persuasion on her part but never in her dream she had considered a situation where Chuck was standing with blank face refusing to recognize her when she knew that he recognized her. Chuck used to wear his feeling on his face, had the years of hardship faced by him and Ellie after she had left done this to him. Head they transformed that happy child whose face used to lit up after seeing her or the look on his face when he slept used to remove every problem she had from her mind. But the most difficult part was when he removed her hand from his by very little force but that force was equal to thousand strings applying force in opposite direction. She did not want to let go as it had been almost two decades since she had held the hand of any of her children but knew that for the conservation to take place she must let go.

"Cut the crap Chuck, do not talk to me like this you know who I am, Your mother." Marry blurted the first sentence that came to her mind and knew that she had made a big mistake from the reaction of it from Chuck.

"Mother... Mother.. she has the gall to call herself my mother after leaving us "kept repeating in his mind. He wanted to shout at her and tell her how unfit she is to even use that word but something stopped him no it was not his respect for her no any respect he had for her slipped away like a sand in a tight fist the day that he found out that she was in Moscow not in some hospital but it was Ellie Yes, Ellie was the word that kept his mouth shut Ellie needed her and that was it.

So he did the only thing he could at that moment and ran out of the room slamming the door shut as hard as he could as he made his way toward his room he could hear her calling after him.

A tear slipped down Marry face as she watched her son walking away from her and knew that the happy reunion that she had so many times dreamed would not be so easy.

Chuck entered his and Vivian bedroom after looking at his face. Vivian guessed that the reunion with Marry had not gone well that was one reason that she had come early and leave Chuck alone as he knew that Marry was going to talk to Chuck and wanted to help her godmother in every way she could she was not naïve enough to believe that their problem would be solved in one talk but she felt that they had to make a start somewhere well it had not gone planned but he will keep trying because she felt guilty as it was due to her and dad that chuck and her family separated and the other was that they all loved each other no matter how much they denied it to each other.

"Let's go to sleep Chuck we have a big day tomorrow." Vivian said.

With that, Chuck went to the couch and Vivian to the bed. Yes, tomorrow will be a big day as she will get her dad back not the intersect version no the real one.

Hannah pov

While Chuck was enjoying the party at Volkoff mansion, Hannah was walking toward the situation room in White House escorted by white house security team. How this happened well, when you are the main supplier to government agency then you carry certain leverage and when you promise to give a certain information which has the potential to be game changer well you find yourself with face to face meeting with POTUS and his defense team.

As Hannah entered the situation room she found herself in front of POTUS, his Defense Secretary, Chief of Army Staff, General Beckman and others she could not identify.

Hannah visibly gulped there were some very powerful people in this room and she had to be on her top game for Chuck plan to succeed and getting people of this room to agree with her was essential for the plan. Everyone was waiting for the POTUS to speak.

"Ms. McKay, General Beckman say that you have something important information to give us," POTUS asked.

Hannah took a deep breath and said: "Mr. President, what do you of Hydra."

She could see the shocked look on the face of General Beckman and the Defense Secretary, While other face conveyed confusion. General Beckman knew that it was important but not the detail as Hannah as refused to give detail.

Before anyone could say anything, the Def. Sec. said," How do you know about Hydra?"

"Now was do or die moment after this either she will get everything she wanted or she would disappear in some hell hole never to be seen again." Hannah thought.

"Mr. Defense Secretary, I not only know about Hydra but also what led to its creation and so that there is no confusion I know about project Intersect." Hannah continued and if it was possible the face of General and Def. Sec. face went paler and Hannah gulped now or never.

It seems that POTUS had enough of being kept in dark and said: "Would someone please tell me what the hell is she talking about."

A glance passed between the Defense Sec. , General Beckman, Hannah and it was decided that Def. Sec. will answer the President question.

Defense Secretary cleared his throat and said: "Mr. President, let me get one fact straight then I will answer all your question."

"Ms. McKay, what do you want to achieve by this you are smart enough to know that it can land you in serious trouble." Defense Sec. continued.

Hannah smiled first time after coming in this room if she was still in this room then her chance to achieve her objective just went from 50% to 80%.

She said "Mr. Defense Secretary, I do not want to achieve anything. If you full fill my one condition I will hand over the whole hydra database to you." More silence followed her statement.

"What is this Hydra and Intersect I want to know all about it," POTUS demanded.

"Mr. President if you look on the screen the man you see is Alexi Volkoff the biggest arms dealer in the world he stores every transaction he has ever done, all his associates, his supplier, his buyer on a database called Hydra. It is said that it is the most secure network and we have been trying to get it for many years but all our effort have unfortunately been unsuccessful. If Ms. McKay can get us what see promise then it will invaluable." Def. Sec. said

Yes, POTUS could see the benefit in it, every criminal of some importance requires arms and if they could get their hands on it, Hydra can prove a very useful tool in their fight against terror but first, he wants to get all the facts straight "What is this Project Intersect."

This time it was General Beckman who spoke she gave the president the full briefing about Intersect from Orion to Chuck.

So, let me get this straight POTUS spoke after the briefing was over "Our Government has the problem the technology to send information directly to the human brain. The newest form of Intersect is an agent called Bryce but the team is on halt because of some internal problem."

"Mr. President, one of our most effective spy, code name frost is involved in this mission but due to our inabilities to provide support to her, she burned her contact and went dark to protect her children, Mr. President, if Ms. McKay can help us bring her back then we will be grateful. It's time that we unite her with her family it's been two decades." Beckman said passing the digital file containing the career of Frost to do The President.

Everyone waited as The President went through the file. While Hannah's respect for the general sored she had taken a great risk which could possibly end her career.

Everyone could see that POTUS was angry at hearing this news" Why had we not done enough to bring her back. We have a duty to protect every American citizen. Ms. McKay could you help in her extraction without jeopardizing the mission objective. if not then I want all possible ways to bring her to my table by tomorrow." He said.

"General Beckman I want you to find her children and her husband I want to talk to them and assure them that we are doing everything in our power to bring her back." POTUS address the general.

"Mr. President sir, you already know about her son Charles Bartowski, he the same person who had the Intersect in his head, For her husband he is the chief Eng. In the intersect project and her daughter is a doctor working in Burbank." Beckman replied.

"Okay, Ms. McKay please give your condition to the General and we will get back to you by tomorrow." POTUS said.

Hannah got up gave everyone a slight nod and left.

Castle 22:50

Orion and Sarah were the only people present at the castle at that time when a beep alerted that there was a video call.

Orion's face paled as he saw who it was, "Stephen who is it" Sarah asked.

"It's Marry, Chuck mother she would not have called if it was not important" Stephen replied and answered the call.

"Marry what happened," Stephen asked.

"Stephen Chuck is in Moscow." Marry replied.
