Hello everyone, hope all is well!
I know I know, I was gone! I had a boatload of things happening all of a sudden! Family stuff that I won't get into! But things have calmed down and now I'm back! So, please forgive me for this delay and I hope you like it!
Last time on Sarah and her lovable nerd!...
"Chuck, I need for you to do something that you're not supposed to do. I know you're a computer genius with or without the Intersect. I need you to break into Casey's surveillance system. We need to see some footage."
"S- S- Sarah? Would we...I get into trouble if I do this?"
"No Chuck, I'll make sure you don't. But we have to move fast. Please Chuck." Her eyes were pleading. How can he refuse with the woman he loved?
"Ok Sarah, I'll do it."

Chuck was still standing and fidgeting by the wonderfully decorated table setting made for her. Sarah narrowed her blue orbs and stared at her nerd as to say 'get a move on, Chuck!'
He knew that look.
He swallowed and sighed. He walked towards his bedroom again. He sheepishly smiled as he passed her.
Dumbfounded she asked. "Chuck, we should be heading towards Casey's apartment. We're running out of time. We have to get in his system."
With his back to her, he raised his index finger and waved for her to follow him.
'WTF is he doing?'
She followed him into his bedroom and he went to his computer. He sat down and she was behind him; wondering WHY they were in there. She was getting very anxious and she was about to say something. He raised his finger again to help her calm down at least a little, tapped a few keys and the screen lit up. His screensaver was a 'for the cover' picture of her in that mind blowing Princess Leia slave costume and he as Han Solo. She was stunned and she saw his eyes almost come out of his sockets as he quickly scrambled and switched to another screen.
She bit the inside of her cheek and then bit her lower lip. She thought it was the most adorable thing she's ever seen. Her nerd had her...them on his screensaver. She then saw her nerd become a bright red ripe crimson tomato. He cleared his throat and was about to say something when she placed her hand and lovingly squeezed his shoulder as to say 'it's all right.' He took a deep breath and he calmed down.
'whew.'
She then realized she was distracted. They were losing time. She hated to do this, but she had to be firm...a little.
"Chuck, please! What are we doing here? Casey could be parking his car as we speak and then...he..."
Her words were left hanging. She didn't finish what she was about to say. She stared at the screen. She wasn't sure what she was seeing. She looked at Chuck...and then the screen. She did it several times.
Making sure she wasn't losing her mind. She paused for a second and finally, reality hit her. She gasped and put her hand over her mouth. She was in total shock. She felt a little lightheaded. Her other hand was still on her nerd's shoulder and reactively squeezed a little hard. Her nerd groaned and he tolerated her death grip. Love hurts, right?
She heard her nerd and quickly released her death grip and gently massaged his hurt shoulder as to say ' I'm sorry. feels better now?' He slowly nodded yes, once.
Charles Irving Bartowski (her nerd) did the unthinkable. She shook her head slowly and berated herself that once again, she underestimated her nerd. She constantly underestimated her nerd. She felt her heart was about to explode. Her insides were doing somersaults. She was so turned on that if she had a tranq dart, she would stick it in his ass and ravage his body so hard that he wouldn't be able to walk for a month.
On the screen was a live view of the Buy More's employees parking lot.
Casey's Crown Vic was still there.
The government thought...thought that they, Casey and Sarah were monitoring Chuck. When in fact it was he watching them.
Still shocked and with her mouth covered, her nerd hit another key and Sarah gasped even harder.
A live view inside Castle. They clearly saw Casey sitting on a chair, his elbows on the table and his hands on his head. Shaking his head.
Chuck wanted to hit another key and hesitated. Once again, she squeezed her nerd's shoulder (this time she made sure not to hurt him. 'again, sorry!') and got Sarah's approval. He nodded and hit the key.
Chuck zoomed on his face. Casey then sat back on the chair and crossed his arms. He stayed like that for a minute or so. Got up, cleared his throat and headed towards the armory. He mumbled...
"Damn that moron."
Sarah got down to business.
"Chuck, I'm going to Casey's apartment. I'll pick the lock and then I'll signal you to come in. But we need to hurry. Ok?"
Chuck sighed and said. "Yeah Sarah. I'll do anything you'd like me to do. But-but don't go, yet."
He got up from his chair and went to his closet. All the time, Sarah was watching with laser precision to his every move. He lifted his finger again as to say 'uh, one second.'
Sarah has already witnessed what it meant when he raised that finger. The last time, she was stunned, speechless and turned on. WTF is he going to show her, now?
'Oh please, God. Give me strength.'
He went to his closet and moved some boxes and things around and he found what he was looking for. It was a large key ring with many keys on it. He was looking through them; humming along and then he found it. "Yes." He said.
Sarah was still staring at him and she narrowed her eyes wondering what in the hell was going on! He nerd was driving her crazy!
He walked up to her with a key between his thumb and index finger (that damn finger again!) and he pointed his chin to her left hand. It was like Chuck had some sort of mind control thing and she couldn't fight against. He had that much power over her.
She slowly raised her left hand and splayed it open. He placed the key in her hand and with his hands, closed hers. She slowly looked down at her closed hand. She just stood there. Wondering, what just happened?
Her nerd came closer and booped her nose. 'boop!'
She was awakened from her nerd fog and instantly looked at Chuck. She narrowed her eyes and he gulped. 'Get a grip girl, your nerd is your death. Just enjoy the ride.'
Gathering her thoughts, she cleared her throat. 'ahem'..."wh-what is this...this...key for?"
Her nerd smiled the smile that was only for her.
"It's the key to Casey's apartment...y'know...just-just in case...uh...Casey lost his...uhm...key and he needed to get in because there was an emergency, like-like he forgot his TV on...or-or he left his gun...or left the oven on when he was making quiche...uh...or hot pockets. Y'know these things can happen...so...I...rrrrmmmmmph!"
Flash Sarah came crashing into her nerds mouth and she almost lifted him off his feet. Shock was an understatement on his hazel orbs as he tried to register what has happened. His hands were flailing as he lost balance. The amount of force produced by Flash Sarah was so powerful, they crash landed on Chuck's bed, moving it several feet, hitting the night stand, the lamp falling, saved by the mattress btw and smashing the bed to the wall to a stop.
Sarah was eating and sucking her nerds mouth like it was the most delicious meal she's ever tasted. The Bomb Kiss was nothing compared to this. She was moaning and whimpering and that was turning her nerd on. She licked her lips on his lips demanding entrance. He complied.
Chuck was still in shock as his Sarah was devouring his mouth. He then grabbed her back and pulled her closer. She grabbed his unruly curly hair and smashed further into her mouth. They were kissing teeth at this point. Any more closer and they would have morphed into each others bodies...something Sarah wouldn't have minded at all.
They finally separated and were breathing hard. They were laying on the bed with their foreheads touching.
She was still licking her lips. "Chuck?"
His eyes closed with a stupid smile. "Hmmmm?"
"We're engaged."
WTF? Did he hear her correctly? He wanted to speak, but his lips were like fish. Opened and closed. He pushed his lips forward, but nothing came out. She saw his confused adorable face and she had to confirm her declaration.
He was right there. In front of her. The man of her dreams. No more waiting. She had babies to make.
He was right there.
She placed her finger on his lips. "Yes Chuck, you heard right. We're engaged and you're mine. You have no say on the matter. Got it?" She said it in a loving way that melted his heart.
He simply nodded. His throat was too tight to say anything.
She got up and looked at the monitor. She shook her head again at the genius that was her fiancé. Casey was still in the indoor shooting range in Castle. He seemed to be venting his anger and frustration. Sarah took note of that. She would handle it...her way.
She thought back just a year ago when she first met her fiancé. He was behind the Nerd Herd desk and he dropped the landline phone when he first saw her. She thought it was a piece of cake in getting the information from her mark. In and then out. Simple. That was the mission objective. Done.
She was wrong.
Very, very wrong.
Instead, she was mesmerized by his cute and nervous demeanor. His eyes...oh his eyes...caught her full attention. She was falling fast when her fiancé helped a desperate father and his daughter about his camera that didn't record their dance recital. He patiently explained that the camera needed tape and the father looked defeated. But Chuck being Chuck took one step further. He ordered the Herders to make a 'stage' and recorded the recital. Her heart was racing. It was injected with gobs of warmth. She never felt anything like it. Here is this man helping a total stranger so that his wife won't rip him a new one and his daughter would have something to remember and share later with her children. That was the moment Sarah fell in love with her fiancé. Is was the moment that change her life.
She knew Jack loved her. What gave himself away was by calling her "darling". She figured it was he was way of saying 'I love you'. She missed him. She knew he was out but hasn't contacted her, yet. She knew that one day he would. Patience.
She definitely felt love and compassion in Japan. No doubt about it. Ayika and Master Marahito were extremely loving and compassionate people. Kindness, understanding and patience were key since there was a culture clash. She learned from them and they in return. They will always be part of her family.
And then this lovable goofball enters her life and it turns her world upside down. How he chipped away her battle hardened walls. An amazing feat of accomplishment she would say.
Then, Longshore was going to take him in a bunker. She and Chuck were saying their last goodbyes and he said when he got out, he would ask her out on a date. She knew that was not going to happen anytime soon but she vowed that she would get him out. Later than sooner.
"Save you later."
Later on, terrible heartbreak. When he went out with that Lou troll. She followed them on their dates. She wanted to make sure he was 'safe' and if he needed help; she would be there. Yeah, that was it.
And today. God, was the worst. She didn't want to think about it anymore. It was doubly painful. She thought she lost him when he was dropped from the building and then Casey almost...her beautiful fiancé.
Her emotions were stirring up and before her fiancé noticed, she kissed him soundly again. She had a mission and she never failed a mission.
She jumped out of bed and headed to the Morgan door with the key in her hand. With one foot out and the other in, she turned back to look at her fiancé.
Chuck jumped out of bed and spoke first. "OH OH, I almost forgot to tell you. I disarmed Casey's doomsday apocalypse security system. You may proceed." Shooing her.
Her jaw slacked.
Underestimated her man...again.
She wanted no more than to rape his smart arse. But she needed to wait.
'Damn him!'
Clearing her throat. "Chuck, I'll signal you from Casey's window for the all clear and then come right over. Got it, baby?"
His grin was about to split his face. "Baby, huh?"
"Yep." Popping the P.
"Ok, honey, I'll see you soon!"
Sarah stopped for a second as warmth claimed her soul. She loved that man so much that she couldn't wait to shred him apart. And just like that, she headed towards Casey's apartment. She had to. If she didn't, she would have jumped him again. Besides, her future depended on what they would find on those recordings.
She was very afraid of what they would see and how would it affect her fiancé.

"I know that look."
"What look?"
"I've seen it many times before. You're hoping that Chuck and Sarah finally do the nasty."
Ellie made a disgusted look. "EWWWW...Devon, you Neanderthal brute. That's a crass way of saying it, but yeah, I want them to finally stop their BS and make it official, damn it! They are always stealing glances at each other. It's annoying! I need nephews and nieces!"
"Hahaha, yeah you're right. I really do hope the Chuckster finally makes that connection."
Ellie raised her left eyebrow.
Devon wondered why Ellie was giving him the stink eye and then it hit him.
"Nooo El, I didn't mean that connection! I meant emotionally! Finally, getting together!"
She knew what buttons to push and she started laughing.
Devon realized that she got him and crossed his arms. "Not funny, Elenore."
It was her turn to cross her arms and raise an eyebrow.
"Uh...not funny...babe?" He sheepishly smiled.
Satisfied, she went and kissed him soundly.
"Babe, we can continue shopping, if you want. That way those two love birds have more time...to communicate."
Ellie rolled her eyes and thought otherwise. "We've been here long enough Devon. I want my nieces and nephews to be legitimate."
Devon leaned forward in hysterical laughter.
"WOOOHAHAHAAH! You got them practically married, babe!"
Nonchalantly she replied. "Nothing wrong with that."
They both broke out laughing and were heading back home.

Sarah approached Casey's apartment with a bag full of 'groceries' on her left arm. For the cover, in case a nosey neighbor looked through their window or happen to walk in the court yard. Always be prepared, Sarah thought.
She inserted the key her fiancé gave her and for a split second, pride rushed into her. She knew Chuck was very smart. Genius even. But to be this prepared was stunning. She planned to repay him big time.
She opened the door, went inside, closed the door and immediately dropped the 'groceries'. She instantly crouched down on the floor with her hands armed with throwing knives. She scanned the living area for any threat.
Clear...for now
She needed to make sure the rest of the place was secure. She slowly got up and walked towards the back of the apartment. She passed where the computer was and where her fiancé would do his magic. She entered the kitchen and cautiously walked to the back rooms.
RRRRRRWUUUSHHHPINGPING
She crouched down again. Throwing knives at the ready when...
RRRRPINGBURP
"Fuckin' refrigerator." She cursed under her breath. "I'll bet it's Reagan era. Get a new one, you cheap POS."
Relieved, she got up and checked all the rooms. Her knives were aching for a kill.
Satisfied, she rushed back to the living area towards the windows to signal Chuck to come in but something caught her attention.
It was something that looked out of place. She walked closer, saw it and stood there.
For the time being, she kept it a secret. She would tell her fiancé later. But at that moment, she had a mission to accomplish.
She went to the front window and moved the drape ever so slightly and she saw Chuck looking back at her. She gave the slightest nod and Chuck jumped into action.
Sarah saw her fiancé come through the Morgan door with a tool belt and plunger. She almost guffawed at her fiancé's antics. He was the 'handyman' making a house visit.
Another damn reason to eat him!
He opened the door, closed it and Sarah once again ate his lips.
Chuck dropped the plunger and instinctively, Sarah was dropping his tool belt.
"Wwwwwait Sarah..."
Her eyes popped open and realized what she's done. A low level growl left her throat.
"You're right Chuck. We need to move with this. Go now. Computer!"
Chuck rushed to Casey's computer and worked his magic. Before she knew it, he was in. She was tired of being impressed. He kept surprising her and she was drunk with his genius.
"AHA!"
Sarah jumped at his excitement and narrowed her eyes.
"Uh, sorry."
She simply nodded. How can she ever be upset at her hot and sexy fiancé? I mean, really.
He opened a file titled 'Chuck Conference' and they both looked eagerly.
There was Graham and Beckman discussing Chuck's 'future'. What needed to done for the greater good and handing Casey his orders. Casey then offered alternative options and Graham dismissing his offer saying that 'Chuck will die with honor.'
Chuck paused the video.
Silence.
More silence.
Sarah was staring at the screen in sheer anger. She was glad that Graham got exactly what he deserved. She thought how lucky he was because Sarah would have paid a 'visit' to her so-called boss.
But her thoughts were interrupted by a whimpering sound and looked down at her fiancé and he was crying. His hands on his face and shoulders shaking uncontrollably.
Anger took over her soul. They hurt her baby! Her teeth were grinding in raw rage.
She knew what she had to do.
She stormed towards the door.
"Wait!"
Her fiancé asked her to wait. Again, she can never say no. She stood at the door with her back to him.
"Don't kill Casey."
WTF?! Was her fiancé for real? This...this monster, almost killed the father of her children and he didn't want her to kill him?
Eff that!
"Please, don't."
She swallowed and slowly turned to face her fiancé.
She took a deep breath and softly said. "Chuck, he almost killed you. Do you have any idea what that would have done to me?"
He didn't say anything. His head bowed down to the floor.
She ran up to him, grabbed his face and looked deep into his eyes.
"DO YOU?!"
His eyes were red and full of tears.
She gently let go of his face and he cried on her shoulder. She caressed his head he grabbed her back as hard as he could.
Tears flowed down her face. She was there for him...for them.
He finally let go (to Sarah's dissatisfaction) and said.
"Please Sarah. No matter what. He's a hero that served and still serving his country."
She was shaking her head and was about to protest.
"Let me finish!...please."
She closed her mouth and listened.
"He's a soldier and he was following orders. BUT, he was trying to persuade them to do otherwise. At the end, he had no choice."
This time Sarah was not taking that shit. He can be so dense.
"Chuck! Are you for real?! There's always a choice! Just like the Nuremburg trials! They all had a choice and they 'followed orders' instead!"
She saw Chuck ponder on that and she was right. Casey had a choice and decided to follow orders.
Yet again, "Yes, you're right. But none of them regretted what they did. Casey tried to deflect. Go a different direction. Trying to make another choice. He's a good man, Sarah. Please, don't."
Sarah didn't like it. She wanted to give Casey a dirt nap but noooo, her fiancé was pleading otherwise.
Reluctantly, she gave in.
Softly she said. "Ok Chuck, you win."
"But that doesn't mean Casey gets away with it."
Sarah head sprung up and her eyes and mouth were wide open.
"Wwwwhat do you mean, Chuck?"
"My friend Casey needs to be taught a lesson and you may do... things"
Sarah had a devilish grin.
"Nonononono...no amputations or nail ripping or anything like that. Got it, baby?"
Sarah pouted but nodded her head.
"I have a plan that you can work with. But again, no appendage removal."
She smiled and nodded. She was kind of giggling on how incredible and forgiving her fiancé was...sorta forgiving.

Casey had enough. He was shooting crappy groups. He was tired and still overwhelmed of what may have happened and his inevitable demise because The Ice Queen would have gotten to him and he knew it.
He packed it in, put his gun in the small of his back and headed towards his car.
He walked through the loading dock area and walked down the steps to the parking lot.
He arrived at his car, inserted the key and sat on the bench seat and closed the door.
As he was about to insert the key, he looked at the dashboard. His face became pale white. He began to sweat. His body shivering. His hands shaking.
On the speedometer was a head picture of Chuck with a bullet hole through his forehead.
He finally got his bearings and went to defensive mode. He was reaching for his gun when a shiny S&W 5906 was on the back of his head.
"Don't even try it Casey. One tiny anything and you're lunch for the worms. Now, put your hands on the wheel...slowly."
He did.
"Walker...I...I...the kid..."
"He's not a fucking kid!"
Casey knew he better tread lightly. He knew she had it bad for the ki...Chuck.
He was about to say something.
"DON'T say a fucking word, you POS! You're mine now...all mine."
Whatever color Casey had was quickly gone again.
Before he could plea his case, a needle went inside his neck. He tried to fight it, but darkness followed.
"Nighty night, shithead."
She opened the rear door to get out and then opened the front. She pushed Casey's sleeping body to the passengers side. She looked up at one of the security cameras and it blinked rapidly. She smiled and thought how lucky she truly was to have such a genius fiancé.
She turned the key and left.
'Payback is a BITCH.'
Well, there you have it! What will Sarah do?! What will her fiancé say and do?! What will Ellie and Awesome do?!
Again, I'm so sorry for the looong delay! The next chapter may take a while, but not too long...hop
