A/N: Spoiler avoidance; if the last chapter you remember has Chuck and Sarah still at the airport you need to click back to the previous chapter. I know the one time where I post something quicker than expected.
A/N: For me this is going to be extremely short and I won't argue against anybody who will consider this more of a setup than an epilogue. Anyways this story has been quite enjoyable to write; trying to interweave all sorts of movies into the story both overtly and covertly. This AU will continue being done at least in snippets or one-shots of their life. It is more CIA-centric so while I cannot state certifiably Casey/Beckman will not appear in any I would feel the need to reintroduce them into the storyline via a mission story. However, Carina and possibly other CATS will definitely appear in some. Again I do not own Chuck or any of the movies I've utilized…well that can be argued as well as I do own the DVD's of all I've referenced except Deadpool and Winnie the Pooh. Enjoy.
Chuck vs. Graham the Killer Pimp
Epilogue
Sarah couldn't stop the sigh of contentment or the breadth of the smile on her face as she carefully snuggled into Chuck's chest a little more. He had proven to her the thirty-seven seconds was indeed a falsehood as she also wondered about his prowess as a masseur as she tweaked a back muscle attempting a maneuver that was not well thought out, but its execution was unforgettable.
Her mind drifted as there was something that she had completely forgotten to disclose last night. The emotion of everything that happened made it totally slip her mind. The fact that Bryce's betrayal was complete: not only did he get Chuck expelled with the complicity of a Stanford professor. He slept with a woman Chuck more than pictured a future with as the credit card receipt with a lone payment on a ring would indicate. Thankfully the store took the ring back and returned Chuck's money because there was another person who wanted that ring and needed it immediately. You would have thought sending him a stolen top secret government database would be enough. Sadly, Bryce had informed Graham that Chuck was the Piranha at their first meeting after Graham had been placed in charge.
It had somewhat softened the psychological blow to Sarah when Graham told her he did not authorize Larkin to do any of the crap he pulled as he was still stationed as the London Bureau Chief at the time. Unfortunately, Sarah hadn't waited for him to say that before delivering her physical blow to Graham. It did leave her somewhat puzzled why he hadn't seemed more surprised by her actions that were 180 degrees from the Sarah Walker he helped groom; or that he was the one who helped shape the project and issue the discretionary fund in a much quicker manner than she was accustomed to.
Sarah wondered when she should tell them. She assumed telling Chuck first was the way to go. Even though she found it difficult that he could keep such a big secret from Ellie; if he had she didn't want to be the one to betray him in this instance. However, from what she gathered of Ellie if he hadn't told her; she would question Sarah if he is capable of handling what is being thrown at him.
Filing away those thoughts; she allowed her mind to drift to more pleasant ruminations. Namely what was for breakfast and who was going to make it? As much as she wanted to try to impress Ellie with her meager attempts at cooking she only felt confident about her breakfast prowess, but she was torn as she was curious what Chuck would make. Somehow thinking about that warmed Sarah so that she caressed his face; hopefully softly enough so as not to wake him. A mischievous glint appeared in her eye and a voice in her head told her 'if at first you don't succeed, try again'. She gladly took that advice and enjoyed her slide down Chuck's torso. Removing his boxers showed her Chuck subconsciously, at least, was not surprised by the upcoming event. As she began Chuck started to awaken, but a squeak and a voice soon filled the room.
"Chuck, just thought I'd come in and pick up those leftovers for lunch… Oh no…"
Pfft… was soon followed by a body crumpling to the floor.
A/N: For those scoring at home, yes the thoughts running through Sarah's mind at the beginning were items that I completely intended to disclose in the last chapter, but it ended up getting away from me… a little. If it hadn't, imagine how much longer the last chapter would have been and how much shorter this one would be. For those who might be hoping this was the demise of Morgan (cough… Neale… cough) you are going to be disappointed, but we shall see what happens in his snippet. Again as always thanks to those who read and review; a bigger one to those that chose to follow and/or favorite. I hope I earned it. Lastly to those who guest review; I'd ask to join, just so I can send a thank you or an explanation to your question. Until next time…
