Chapter 2
After the long, quiet drive with Casey, they arrived at the castle. The colonel asked the tactical team to leave them alone. He turns off the cameras inside the castle and seats Chuck in a chair and starts "ok Bartowsky, how do you feel?", Chuck looks at the stout man he has come to respect as a friend and agent and replies "I'm fine, just a little bit. confused and worried, if my father hadn't warned us and we would have arrived a little later Bryce would have died by now. "
The colonel silently looks at the boy "why did you download the intersect in your head? After all the effort you have and we have done, you know what you are getting yourself into, do you know what will happen now?" exclaims a little angry and worried. The answer comes quick and fast "no, I don't know what will happen, I don't know what it entails, will you still guard me and I will work with you? But I know that if I hadn't downloaded the internet and destroyed it, the enemy would have won, I certainly did not imagine it would have equipped me with such skills. "
Casey stares at the boy with an air of surprise but admiration "I knew you were stupid, but I never thought you would go that far, even if in your own way in previous years you have always managed, this time it will be different, you will be trained to become a spy? ". Chuck looks incredulous and a little confused at his friend "I, a real spy, will always be fantastic around the world and we'll do missions together". Casey yells at the boy "stop it is not a game Bartowsky, this job is meant to act alone, you will not have friends, you will not have family, you will be alone, it will not work as before". Chuck now frightened and confused emits a scream "you think that it is enough to have the brain to be a spy, you will have to lie, deceive, manipulate, kill to complete the mission, you cannot afford to have feelings and affections in this kind of world, you're too good". Chuck was now confused "sorry Casey, you have so little faith in me, I know I'm not exactly a cold-blooded killer, but after seeing you work and see what you sacrifice to protect the nation, I think I have to do something for my life, after all Sarah and Bryce were a couple and you had Ilsa even if for a short time. "
The colonel lets out a sigh, he has always admired Chuck's good moral integrity, even if he doesn't think the boy is cut out for this job, he has to admit that for once he realizes he has to stop being a child and grow up "it's different Chuck , this work changes you as a person, we will not always be able to work together, you will happen to be on a mission alone and there will come times when you will have to choose, your life or that of others ". Chuck gulps "what if I can't?" , Casey looks at him worried "then you will die, now they will send you in isolated training for a while, go home and sleep" and with that he leaves the room, confused and upset Chuck climbs the stairs and heads home thinking about how they are Bryce and Sarah.
Meanwhile at the hospital Sarah looks at her old partner, her ex-boyfriend, lying on the bed of a hospital reserved for CIA agents, she had to admit that she had had strong feelings for Bryce, had loved him once, then upset by her. betrayal, she had met a nerd with a noble heart, who had entered her head and heart without leaving it.
