Hi everybody. You probably have forgot about the story with it being nearly two months since last update, frankly put I needed a break due to stressful real life events. Though I can promise it wont be nearly two months until the next update.

Sydney Bristow is the main character in a TV show called Alias, It's really great, it is so similar to Chuck in many ways. It's a spy show, there's a relationship just like Charah, which ends well! it was my favorite show until I learned of Chuck's existence and it's still easily in my top three fighting for the number one spot with Chuck and 24, check it out!

Disclaimer: I do not own Chuck; I do however own the laptop that I wrote this Chapter on. So please don't sue me or anything! I'm just a girl writing about my favorite spy couple :-)


Previously:

"Sarah don't look at me like that, it's not my freaking fault that the woman is a psycho."

"Oh you're right about that Chuck, a psycho bitch who needs to be taught a lesson. Oh I can promise I wont kill her, that will be letting her off lightly. I'm going to make her suffer Chuck and suffer good."

"Ok... So then we let her get a few kicks and punches in then separate them, then you are going to have to sweeten the deal Chuck, promise her something in return for her leaving Carina alone... like something romantic." Said Bryce.

"Bryce you're a genius that I can do."


Chapter Twenty

Goodbye Carina

19:30

Inside Castle

Bryce, Casey, Chuck and Sarah had quickly worked through the files of the most promising Clandestine Operatives, partly because they were all exhausted after a long week and partly because Chuck only had one Agent in mind therefore his team-mates only had one Agent in mind due to the loyalty that Sarah, Casey and Bryce all held towards Chuck.

All of the operatives had very promising service records, they were all in their twenties or very early thirties, their specialities equally similar to each other; Hand to Hand Combat, Weapons Expert, Demolitions Expert, Infiltration Expert, Subterfuge Expert the list continuing on and on.

Once that they had finished reviewing all of the files that Manoosh had brought in they each turned to their own file that they had on Kate and the moment they did Chuck was feeling extremely guilty. He felt guilty for not finding out about her situation sooner. When she stopped calling him a few months ago he did not think anything of it, he thought that she had just simply moved on and started her new life as a spy as he had done himself. He was after all used to people abandoning him more specifically his parents so he would not have been at all surprised if his friend had done that to him. It turned out however that the reason for lack of contact was because her partner who she had become romantically involved with was killed in action and she blamed herself for it. Chuck was just hoping that he could get to her before it was to late, if it wasn't to late already.

Chuck, Sarah, Casey and Bryce all scanned through the fairly large file on Agent Myers starting with the summary;

Place of Birth: Seattle, USA

'Well at least she isn't a brunette.' Sarah thought to herself, although she believed everything Chuck said and would never doubt him she was still seething inside over Carina.

"Impressive." Said Casey after they had finished looking through the file.

Bryce and Sarah agreed, Chuck didn't need to see the file, he already knew everything about Katie he was interested only in the section concerning recent events and operations.

"What about her mentality Chuck? Can she recover from that fatal mission three months ago?" Asked Sarah as she studied the mission report of that fatal mission in Iraq.

Chuck paused, thinking of his friend briefly before glancing at Sarah. "She has a strong mentality, I think if she sees a familiar face then something can be worked out. She is probably feeling extremely lonely and vulnerable right about now, she never got on well with her mother but she has nobody else."

"Are you sure about trying to get her back into the Agency Chuck? It might be best to just keep her away from this life she has already lost somebody close to her." Replied Sarah. Sarah's point was double sided. Sarah couldn't help thinking about what would happen if her or Chuck were in that position and it frightened her more than anything ever had. Yes at this moment in time Sarah Walker was frightened and she could not begin to imagine how Myers was feeling, she didn't know what she would do if that was her losing Chuck.

"That was my first thought Sarah, but the spy life is all she has, she had a difficult childhood and she loved this life when we were in training she told me it was the best time in her life. The file here does state that she wanted to remain in the Agency but her superiors took the decision of burning her for her own safety. All I can do is talk to her and let her make up her own mind."

"So if she is in the right frame of mind are we all in agreement that she will be on the team?" Sarah asked looking around at her colleagues.

"Myers seems to be highly trained and based on these reports she could add a lot of her own expertise into the team I have no problem with that, what I don't want however is any future operations going balls up because of a possible breakdown from her frame of mind." Replied Casey. Bryce agreed with that assessment.

Sarah, Casey and Bryce all looked at Chuck for reassurance that the scenario that Casey had just gave would not happen "I'm actually concerned about that myself." Replied Chuck.

The team looked at Chuck nervously waiting to see what he was going to say next, they were expecting him to reassure them not make them even more concerned!

After a moment of thought Chuck had a plan "Ok... Because I can not guarantee that the scenario John provided us with wont happen we will have to put her on close assessment, and by that I mean if we were on operation she would be uh. How can I put it..She would 'Stay in the van.' And we would have to have an immediate replacement lined up incase it all goes sour, I highly doubt it will, it's just not in her character. However, I have no idea of her current state of mind and anything is possible after what she has suffered."

"So who would our second choice be?" Bryce asked.

The four of them briefly looked over the Operatives once more before giving an answer to that question.

They all came to the conclusion that their second choice if things went sour with Myers would be Sydney Bristow.

"As Graham has already informed us of the importance of getting the team together with no more delay I will fly out to Seattle tonight, none of you have to come with me, spend some time acquainting yourself with the city or in your case John, spend some time acquainting yourself in the armory."

They all laughed together after Chuck's comment before Sarah gave him her answer to what he had said.

"While I agree with it being pretty much pointless for Bryce and John to fly out to Seattle; Chuck I'm your partner, Wherever you go I go." Said Sarah matter of factly.

Chuck looked over at Sarah sitting close by and smiled at her. Sarah returned the motion. "Ok then it's settled. We will fly out tonight and should be back in a few days, three days maximum, Bryce, John you both remain here in LA." Replied Chuck.

They all agreed and they parted ways to do their own things for a short while. Manoosh had informed them that Graham would return for their final decision at 21:15 it was currently 20:15.

Bryce and Casey headed to the armory, while Chuck and Sarah remained behind.

Now that they were alone, well... If you would consider currently being inside a briefing room inside a CIA underground facility with Analysts within thirty metres walking around alone then they were both alone for the moment. Sarah moved to sit on Chuck's lap looked around briefly before planting a quick kiss on Chuck's lips, they had nothing to hide but both Chuck and Sarah would always remain professional. Well at least in a briefing room, supply closets however... They were a different story altogether.

"I think I'll head back to the apartment and grab our travel cases Sarah, then once we're finished with Graham we can head straight to the airport."

"Mmm, that's a good idea Chuck." Replied Sarah while smiling.

"Ok then. Is there anything else you would like me to pick up or is everything that you need already in the case?" Chuck asked.

Sarah thought about what was in her travel case momentarily. Casual dress check. Dinner dress check. Casual outfits check. Sportswear check. Nightwear/Lingerie check. Backup weapon check. Spare ammunition check.

"I should have everything that I would need in there already Chuck. Are you heading out now?" Sarah asked.

"Yeah I better, don't have long until Graham comes back."

"Ok, don't be long." Sarah replied cutely.

"I wont." Replied Chuck grinning.

Sarah stood up and Chuck followed suit, they held hands, arms swaying for a short moment before Chuck started to head towards the exit of Castle. He was stopped when Sarah called him back. "Chuck?"

"Yep Sarah?" Chuck asked curious why his girlfriend had called him back.

"Aren't you forgetting something?" Sarah asked hands on her hips hoping her boyfriend would figure.

Chuck stood there looking at Sarah thinking of everything possible that he may have forgotten and couldn't come up with a single thing.

"Uh I don't think so? Could you help me out and tell me what I have?" He asked grinning.

Sarah walked the remaining distance and swatted his arm. "Chuck... Cover boyfriends sometimes kiss their girlfriend goodbye. Real boyfriends however, they always kiss their girlfriend goodbye."

'Ah dammit' Thought Chuck.

Chuck held onto both of Sarah's arms looked into her eyes and sincerely apologized "Sarah I'm sorry, it's just I thought it may not have been appropriate to kiss your beautiful face off in the middle of a CIA base with that motion being rather intimate and PDA not being my specialty."

Sarah was once more unable to stop her blush as always whenever Chuck complimented her. "Chuck we're not officially on duty right now and we have no mission so we can do whatever we like. And you could have fooled me about PDA not being your specialty Maybe I should remind you of a certain incident on a beach or a certain incident in a Mexican nightclub." She replied grinning as she looked into his eyes mere inches apart.

"But that was your idea!" Chuck protested.

"Shut up and kiss me." Replied Sarah.

"I can't win!" Chuck puffed out. Sarah shook her head in agreement with that statement. Chuck smiled and engulfed Sarah into a kiss. Two can play that game thought Chuck. 'If Sarah wants a goodbye kiss then she will get a no holds barred purely desirable kiss.' He moved his hands to cup Sarah's face and purposely moved closer into Sarah meeting her body with his own. Chuck nibbled on Sarah's bottom lip causing Sarah to moan and run her hands through Chuck's hair. He then slipped his tongue into Sarah's mouth which was eagerly met by Sarah's. Their tongues danced around with each other, their hands ran through each others hair. Both Chuck and Sarah were becoming extremely hot and bothered. Thoughts were entering both of their minds that they would get into serious trouble for if they acted on them where they were currently standing. Chuck had achieved his purpose, if Sarah wanted PDA then Chuck would be sure to step up to the party from this moment onwards.

As their lips parted they were violently fighting to restore oxygen. Sarah was overwhelmed from the kiss. Their palms were still resting protectively on each others face.

"How was that?" Chuck asked as he opened his eyes to look at Sarah.

Sarah also opened her eyes and lifted her head to look up at her boyfriend speechless. "Wow..." She managed to say.

Chuck satisfied with the reaction he was hoping for let out a slight grin. "Now I had definitely better hurry or I will certainly be late." Said Chuck.

Sarah simply just nodded still in amazement at just how amazing the guy in front of her was.

Chuck once more proceeded up the stairs to the exit of Castle and looked back and smiled down at Sarah who was still in the same position watching his every step. Once outside Castle Chuck quickly headed towards their hotel, if he didn't hurry Graham wouldn't be the only thing that Chuck missed while he was gone...

Back inside Castle Sarah returned into the briefing room thinking only about one person. No prizes for guessing who that person was, of course it was Chuck. 'Wow.. How did I get so lucky.' Sarah told herself basking in an afterglow from a searing kiss from her sexy, strong, loving, romantic, passionate, nerdy, kick ass spy boyfriend.


Twenty five minutes later

Sarah was still deep in thoughts thinking about Chuck and realized why he might not have wanted her to have gone with him, Kate had lost her partner and if Chuck turned up with his spy girlfriend it might not go down well with Kate, it will only remind her of what she has lost. Sarah made a mental note to tell Chuck that on the first meet he should go alone.

Casey and Bryce had left the armory and were heading to pick up some coffee they stopped by to ask Sarah if she wanted any.

"Hey Sarah, we're just heading to grab some coffee, thought we'd drop in and see if you and Chuck would like some." Said Bryce.

Sarah looked over to her two colleagues "That'd be great, I'm sure Chuck would too, he'll be back soon, thanks guys."

"Anytime." Replied Casey then Bryce and Casey left Castle leaving Sarah alone in thoughts once more.

Her mind started think about her being betrayed by C... Speak of the devil. Sarah shot from her seat and rushed towards the exit door of medical. "We need to talk." Sarah said menacingly to Carina and ushered her into the nearest supply room.

As soon as the door closed Sarah turned and violently swung out at Carina, the blow connected with the side of Carina's nose leaving Carina visibly suffering from the hit from Sarah.

"Bitch!" Sarah cursed violently at her nemesis. "I trust you, I help you get what you want and this is how you repay me? By making me out to be a fool and a laughing stock of this entire facility? By actively pursuing something that is not and will never be yours?"

Sarah not giving a care in the world for the health of her nemesis grabbed her by her hair and violently slammed her head into the wall. Carina was showing no sign of fighting back and neither should she. What Carina had done to Sarah was disgraceful and even Carina herself knew that.

"Chuck is like a brother my ass." Said Sarah.

After a pause in the onslaught from Sarah Carina spoke up.

"Would it make it any better if I said I was sorry?" Said Carina remorsefully.

If possible Sarah's anger had just doubled. "Sorry is something you say when you accidentally spill something on somebody else's furniture. What you have done can't be fixed with a simple 'sorry.' And even if you was sorry it wouldn't remove the fact that you blatantly done something I warned you not to do just a week ago." Said Sarah vehemently.

"There's nothing I can say that will make it any better, I fucked up I know that." Replied Carina.

"Yes Carina you did." Sarah replied still holding Carina's head up against the wall.

"But it's your lucky day that I'm feeling in a happy mood Carina. Because there's nothing more I'd love than to put a bullet through the back of your head.." Sarah paused causing Carina to gulp.

"But... I'm not going to do that. Because I have an amazing guy who probably would never forgive me if I did and I care about him and how he feels a lot, maybe that's something you should take the time to learn Carina, caring about your friends rather than betraying them and trying to take what isn't yours."

Sarah paused letting what she had just said sink in before continuing. "So this is what will happen Carina..." Said Sarah, still holding onto Carina's head, Carina hadn't moved an inch. "You will leave to wherever Graham is sending you and you will not come within one hundred miles of LA again if you know what's good for you. And if you do then I will not be held responsible for my actions. Now get the fuck out of my sight." Said Sarah as she forcefully launched Carina from the wall towards the door. Carina quickly apologized to Sarah once more and headed out of the storage room door and towards the exit of the base faster than she had ever done before in her life before Sarah changed her mind about letting her live. Carina had been let off lightly.

As she left Castle and into the Orange, Orange she almost fell over Chuck, Bryce and Casey who were heading back into Castle, Chuck had met up with his two friends and colleagues in the parking lot.

"Woah easy there!" Exclaimed Bryce trying not to drop or spill the Coffee's he was holding onto.

Carina stopped briefly looking at who she had bumped into, Chuck, Casey and Bryce were all studying Carina and they all noticed fresh injury, they were concerned that they were going to walk into Castle and it be a blood bath. Casey half thought to grab Carina in case she had done something to Sarah or anybody else for that matter down below.

"I'm so sorry." She said as she looked at Chuck then hurriedly left the Orange, Orange leaving Chuck and his two friends pondering what Carina meant by that. They quickly headed through the encoded door and down into Castle assessing the situation.

Sarah was in the briefing room when she seen via the monitors that her partners were heading down so she went to great them in a rather cheerful mood.

As Chuck, Bryce and Casey entered Castle they went down below rather hurriedly, Chuck was hauling two travel cases, Bryce was being careful not to spill half a dozen Coffee's that he was bringing back and Casey was cautiously surveying the situation.

As Chuck approached Sarah he studied her up and down checking for injury and couldn't find a single scratch. 'That's my girl.' He thought.

"What happened?" Chuck asked Sarah.

"We had a nice long talk." Replied Sarah cheerfully.

"Yeah I kind of figured that.." Replied Chuck.

Knowing there was no present danger Bryce and Casey walked on leaving Chuck and Sarah with some privacy.

After their colleagues had left Chuck put down their cases and took Sarah's hands in his. "Care to tell me what you 'talked about' sweetie?" Chuck asked soothingly as he looked into her eyes.

Sarah grinned "Oh this and that, but she's still alive." She replied smiling ever sweetly at Chuck 'Wow what a beautiful angel' Chuck thought. 'Wait a minute.. She's trying to distract me!'

"Now now, are you trying to smile so beautifully at me to make me forget everything except that smile?" Chuck asked warily.

"Is it working?" Sarah asked as she moved one hand slowly up towards Chuck's face.

"Yes... Wait no!" Chuck realized at the last second that Sarah was trying to seduce him out of telling him what really happened.

"You fight dirty Walker." Replied Chuck grinning and then he pulled Sarah into a hug.

Sarah instinctively responded and wrapped her arms around her boyfriend and rested her head into his neck, Chuck sighed. "Please tell me what happened." Chuck pleaded. "Ok." Replied Sarah before proceeding to tell him most of the things that she had told Carina.

"Come here." Chuck said after Sarah had finished telling him everything. Sarah once more melted back into Chuck's embrace. "I'm so proud of you." He said before he proceeded to kiss her sweetly and gently. Whenever Chuck kissed her Sarah felt like she had just been hit with an overdose of pure happiness and love. Every single time he kissed her or even held her Sarah could not put into words just how he made her feel. Chuck idolized Sarah, and Sarah idolized Chuck. And just like every single time before they both became lost in their own little world that only Chuck and Sarah were in, that they were both creating and constantly adding to, together, the kiss inevitably deepened thus beginning another heavy make out just a few feet away from where they had kissed passionately not even sixty minutes ago.

*Ahem* Came a noise interrupting Sarah and Chuck from kissing the face off each other, a familiar sense of Deja Vu hit both of them as they turned to look towards Director Graham, smiles erupted from Chuck and Sarah as they thought back to when they had first met and were interrupted in the same manner as they had just been.
