Chuck vs Constant Change

by gatorfan13

A series of events that take place in Chuck Bartowski's on going crazy life! Most of these stories were written months ago but...better late than never!

3. Assumption

It has been a week since Bailey showed up and surprised everyone with the news she was taking over operation chuck

It has been a week since Bailey showed up and surprised everyone with the news that she was taking over operation Chuck. The team had seem to be getting along great, Casey was around someone he had worked with and respected, Sarah had her best friend and roommate back. Chuck had his cousin and someone to help make sense of all the insanity that was now his life. Things were going great for once but like everything, greatness can't last forever!

We see a night shot of the Los Angeles skyline, and then zoom into Bailey and Sarah's new apartment where everyone has gathered for a house warming party!

Ellie: Guys I love what you have done to the place. It looks so different from when old Mrs. Sugarman lived here!
Bailey: thanks, after I painted the walls, put down a hardwood floor and got the cat smell out of here everything turned out nice!
Chuck: Old Sugarmill had cats?
Ellie: Chuck stop making fun of her. Come to think of it, I never saw a cat.

They all look around the apartment with a creepy feeling.

Awesome breaks the silence. "So how does it feel to be roomies again?"
Sarah: Just like old times, she has gotten a lot better with picking up after herself!

Bailey laughs: ya well I see you still talk in your sleep!! Dare I ask what you and Chuck were doing in Australia??

Everyone turns and looks at Sarah whose face is bright red with shock and embarrassment!!

"From the sound of it, things must be really good down-under and the accent was perfect!"

Chuck didn't know if he should be embraced or ecstatic that Sarah was dreaming of him!

Sarah couldn't even look him in the eyes. Casey almost choked on his tea and Awesome and Ellie just laugh at the comment.

Bailey stands up, "it's getting late and I have to get up early to go job hunting"
Ellie: any thoughts of where you want to work?
Sarah: you can come work with me, we can make a plot to overthrow scooter!!
Bailey: no thanks, I have to live with you, I don't want to work with you!

They share a smile and a gaze

Chuck: you can come work with me and Casey at the buy more, I'm sure with your photography talents you would fit in great!!

Casey: ya, I will hire you to keep Morgan, Jeff and Lester away from me!!

They all laugh

Bailey: I will think about it.
Awesome: ok gang, I think its time to hit the sack! Come on my future wife lets go we have an early day tomorrow too!

They leave, now its just Chuck,Sarah, Bailey and Casey

Bailey: Casey lets go, I will help you over to your apartment and get you settled in.
Casey: I am perfectly fine to walk over to my apartment and settle myself in!

As he goes to sit up he groans from the pain in his ribs from being shot!

Bailey: ok let's go Mr. Stubborn. (She helps him to his feet then turns to look at Sarah and chuck) I will be back in a few, you two don't be getting freaky in here!

They laugh

Bailey and Casey leave and walk into Casey's apartment.

Casey: you really didn't have to walk me over here. (He sits in his recliner)
Bailey: well I wanted to give them some time alone.
Casey: I can't believe your helping push them into a relationship!
Bailey: oh Casey, you use to have a heart, what happened?
Casey: I got smart!

Bailey walks behind him and starts to massage his shoulder. "Do you remember bora bora?" (Casey lets out a relaxing grunt.) "the beach, the drinks" (Casey is getting very relaxed closing his eyes while Bailey sticks her mouth right next to his ear "the gun play!"
Casey: from what I remember you were having more fun with that new bowie knife I got you!
Bailey: well you know sharp objects make me hot!

Bailey stands back up and walks around and sits in Casey lap and strokes his face.
Casey: (getting a little nervous) we did have some fun! (he runs his hand up her leg as she runs her hands up his chest to his neck and face.

Bailey: did you miss working with me? She leans in to kiss him as he replied "yes" and closes his eyes to kiss her.

Bailey jumps up out of his lap and heads to the door. "Well that will give you something to think about next time you think Chuck and Sarah's relationship is a mistake on the professional level!

Casey: (shell shocked, trying to figure out what just happened) you are a cruel and hard woman! (Bailey smiles at him) I like it!

As Bailey returns back in her apartment she sees that Chuck and Sarah are not in the living room but have moved upstairs to Sarah's room. As Bailey heads to her room to go to sleep she hears the two giggling and laughing, it brought a smile to her face to see the people she loved were happy!

The next day we see downtown Los Angeles and a beautiful sunrise. The weather was clear and warm with a slight breeze, perfect California weather.

Bailey makes her way down stairs and is dressed to impress with her hair up and wearing a nice business suit.

Sarah: wow, you almost look professional!
Bailey: (laughs) Nice! Did you sleep well my dirty little Aussie shella?
Sarah: (blushing again) STOP saying that, I was not talking in my sleep!!
Bailey: oh yes you were, don't even try to pull that card! Oh by the way what's a walk-about??

Sarah gets irritated and throws a dish rag at Bailey."Have a good day finding a job!"
Bailey gets to the door: No worries, later mate (in an Aussie accent) she leaves after the look she receives from Sarah.

A few hours later at the Buy More, Chuck is working at his desk when he sees Casey walk by.

Hey buddy did Bailey take good care of you last night?
Casey got a little red from embarrassment but passed it off as anger.
Lester: What is this? Chucks cousin and Big John hookin up??
Casey: no one is hooking up anything, and if you speak again I will kill you!
Lester: wow testy, he must have struck out!!

Casey bo's up and lunges at Lester, who in turn gets scared and runs behind the nerd desk with Chuck and Jeff.

In walks Bailey with her hair down and suit jacket open looking relaxed as if she just came from a job interview.

Jeff: Chuck that's your cousin? She is hot!!
Lester: man Bartowski your family sure knows how to produce their females!!
Morgan: see that's what I said!
Chuck: guys leave before I sick Casey on you!

(Casey starts growling like a dog. They all retreat to the break room.)

Bailey: hey guys, how is work?
Chuck: it's been a slow day so far.
Bailey: Hi Casey how is your day going?

Casey: grunts then smirks as he walks off.

Chuck: what did you do to him last night?
Bailey: Nothing he hasn't had done to him before!
Chuck: eeww cuz, you slept with Casey?
Bailey: no I did not sleep with Casey last night. I took him over to his apartment then came back and went to bed!

Chuck has a questioning look on his face.

"its true. I came home, went in my room and feel asleep listening to my ipod because I got tired of hearing you and Sarah fooling around and giggling!

Chuck blushes: ok I believe you!
Bailey: oh I almost forgot, I got a job!
Chuck: that's great where?
Bailey: at the spy shop across from here so I can keep an eye on things!
Chuck: a spy working in a spy shop, that's a little ironic don't you think?
Bailey: it's just a cover and just think I really don't have to learn anything like Sarah and Casey did because I already know how to use everything!

Chuck laughs: ya I remember it took Sarah weeks before she stopped burning the corn dogs!
Bailey: nice, she never was much of a cook! I remember this one time in college she almost burnt down the sorority house making spaghetti o's!!

They both start laughing when Bailey feels a hard tap on her shoulder. She turns around and sees Sarah!

Bailey: (taken by surprise) hey buddy, been there long?
Sarah: long enough. (She cuts a look at chuck who is still laughing but stops when he sees her look! He goes over and gives her a hug.)

Chuck: awe its ok sweetie, your cooking is much better now!
Bailey: grunts, ya, you have chef Boyardee then you have Sarah chef boyar-please don't kill me!!

Chuck starts laughing again then Sarah punches him in the side.

Chuck: I'm sorry, I'm sorry I won't do it again I promise! (Groaning in pain)
Bailey: I'm sorry Sarah but come on it is funny! (Sarah looks at her still not amused) ok, ok why don't I treat yawl to lunch and we can celebrate my lovely new job!
Chuck: yes I'm hungry, let's go for pizza!
Sarah: ok I'll go and you can tell me about this job.
Bailey: great, hey Casey (she yells as he walks by) do you want to join us for lunch?
Casey: no thanks I'll pass.
Bailey: come on are you still bitter about last night, it was a joke!
Casey: (in a sarcastic voice) Ha,Ha,Ha!! (His phone rings) I will see you guy's later.(he gives a look to Sarah)
Sarah: you know what my break ends in a few minutes so I will just see yawl tonight.
Chuck: ok, have a good day.

Bailey and Chuck leave the Buy More as Sarah and Casey head into the entertainment room.

Casey and Sarah close the blinds and turn on the flat screen, where General Beckman and Director Graham appear.

Beckman: we have a situation!
Sarah: do you need us to call Chuck and Agent Fisher back for this?
Director Graham: no, as far as they are concerned this meeting never happened!

Casey and Sarah are both confused

Beckman: we believe that Agent Fisher might be a double agent working on getting all the Intel she can on the intersect, how it works and how much information it contained.

Sarah: No, Bailey…I mean Agent Fisher isn't a double, she is Chucks cousin and fulcrum doesn't even know about Chuck!

Beckman: Agent Walker don't let your personal feelings get in the way of your responsibilities. Agent Fisher is a high ranking agent that has access to top secret information, this video was received this morning from our staff where fulcrum agent Lizzy (pita girl)was being held!

Video: interrogation room

Bailey walks in and greets Lizzy, the two look like they knew each other and were friends.
Lizzy: I am so happy to see you!
Bailey: how are you holding up?
Lizzy: fine, this detention facility is a joke!

They laugh

Bailey: well I have been working on getting you out of here.

(She pulls out a small device and turns it on, all you hear in the camera is static.)

Casey: she jammed the sound.

(Bailey and Lizzy talk for about 20 more minutes.)

"They didn't want us to hear something they were talking about!"

Sarah starts to get a little uneasy.

Back to the video, we see Bailey stand up and smile as it looks like she gives Lizzy some reassurance, then Bailey pulls out a gun and kills Lizzy then shoots out the camera in the room. (Much to the similar fashion as Sarah in the pilot!)
Video stops.

Beckman: after this happened is when I received word that Agent Fisher was taking over operation Chuck!
Casey: is there anyway we can clear up the tape and confirm what was said?
Graham: we have our best analyst working on it. As for now I want you to keep a close eye on Agent Fisher and under no circumstances is she to be left alone with the intersect, is that understood!

Sarah: she is alone with him right now!

Graham: find them and don't let them out of your site. This is getting to dangerous but we can't pull Chuck in because we are not the overseers anymore and "those we don't speak of "will just find Chuck where ever we put him, so it is up to you!

Screen goes blank!

Sarah sits down on the couch and can't believe what just happened.

Sarah: No...No, No this can't be right, I would know if this was a set up, she was never good at lying around me!
Casey: I don't like it either but we have to consider the facts here!
Sarah: we have no facts! Until the CIA can decipher what was said in that room, we are just acting on assumption.

Casey: I see it as fulcrum covering their tracks after Lizzy got captured, finding out what she knew, then cleaning up the mess!
Sarah: how can you just disregard everything else?
Casey: by remembering that my job is to protect the intersect and to trust no one!
Sarah stands up and has a stare off with Casey. " I know in my gut that something isn't right here"
Casey: well drink some pepto bismol babe because as soon as we have conformation, someone is going to die!!

After finding out that Bailey might be a fulcrum agent, Sarah went back to the Wienerlicious and tried to call Chuck.

No answer
She calls Bailey

Bailey: Hello
Sarah: hey, umm I was just wondering where yawl were?
Bailey: we are almost to Tijuana!
Sarah: WHAT!!
Bailey: calm down I am just joking, we are at sparrow eating pizza!
Sarah: oh thank god
Bailey: why is everything ok?
Sarah: ya, everything is great I will see you tonight. She hangs up before Bailey could say goodbye.

Sarah makes another call requesting the file on Agent 00721 Bailey Faye Fisher. A few minutes later her call was directed to another department.

Voice: We are sorry Agent Walker but the information you requested is no longer available.
Sarah: what do you mean no longer available?
Voice: Agent 00721 is no longer on file.
Sarah: thank you for your help. She hangs up and slams her phone on the table. " What the hell is going on here?"

That night Chuck and Bailey walk in the apartment and see Sarah sitting on the couch waiting for them.

Sarah: where have you two been?
Bailey: after lunch we went to see a movie and now were back.
Sarah: you could have called, I was worried!
Chuck: I'm sorry, you said you had to work so we just...
Sarah cuts him off: You just thought you could go back to doing what you wanted without checking in with me or Casey!
Bailey: Sarah what is wrong with you?
Sarah: Nothing, I'm just tired, it was a long day.
Bailey: ok, I am going to bed, get some sleep sweetie your cranky when your tired!

Bailey heads to her room and Sarah pulls Chuck into hers. Chuck I tried calling you 8 times today!
Chuck: Sorry I turned my phone off during the movie and besides I was with Bailey!
Sarah: Chuck I don't know how well Bailey can be trusted?
Chuck: you don't know how well Bailey can be trusted? Sarah this is my cousin you are talking about and your best and dare I say only true friend!
Sarah was hurt by that statement.
Sarah: there are some things that are not making sense at the moment and we need to make sure...
Chuck: No...No my cousin is not a problem. She would not be here protecting me or giving up the only life she has ever known to be here with me. And as far as I am concerned this conversation is over.

Chuck storms out and slams the door. Sarah just stands there hating herself for saying anything about it to him. She was having a hard enough time dealing with it herself and she wasn't even related to her!

Early the next morning after Chuck and Sarah's fight, Sarah is cleaning up her room when a small object falls from the lamp shade next to her bed. She picks up the objects and examines it, after realizing what it was her eyes closed and body sank. She made her way down stairs and saw Bailey sitting at the counter eating a bowl of lucky charms.

Bailey: morning sunshine! What were you and Chuck arguing about last night?
Sarah: I don't know why don't you tell me?

Bailey looks up at Sarah and can tell she is not happy about something.
"I don't know, I got tired of listening to you two bicker so I listened to my ipod till I fell asleep, that's why it's over there on the charger!

Sarah looks over at the computer and sees her ipod plugged in.
Sarah: so you weren't listening to our conversation?
Bailey: (takes another bite of her lucky charms) NO!
Sarah: then what the hell is this!! (She throws the object down on the counter next to Bailey)
Bailey: (without any emotion) looks like a bug.
Sarah: Ya, looks like a bug that you planted in my room so you can get information you double crosser!

Bailey: are you high? Didn't I tell you to stop doing that in college because it will kill your brain cells!
Sarah: is everything a joke to you? Why is there a bug in my room and how many more are there?
Bailey: Listen to me, I did not put a bug in your room, nor do I have any idea how many there are in there!
Sarah: I don't believe you!

Bailey gets up and puts her bowl in the sink and walks into the living room. "I think you need to calm down and think about what you are saying before you start making assumptions!"
Sarah: BAILEY!!
Bailey turns to look at Sarah. "WHAT?"

Sarah takes out a knife and throws it a Bailey just missing her and sticking into the wall.
Bailey: you just threw a knife at me?! You must be high.
Sarah: no I am very coherent. You lucky I missed, that won't happen again!
Bailey: oh please, you couldn't hit water if you fell out of a boat!

(Sarah takes out another knife and throws, Bailey avoids it but not by much.)

Stop!! You're tearing up the apartment!
Sarah: why are you lying to me, and why are you after Chuck?
Bailey: I am telling you the truth and I am not after chuck!
Sarah: Liar!!

She runs and knocks Bailey into the wall breaking a mirror. Bailey pushes her back causing her to trip and break the coffee table! Sarah jumps to her feet in attack ready position, Bailey moves towards her and Sarah kicks her back breaking the TV stand and everything on it.

Sarah: had enough?
Bailey: oh we're just getting started bitch! Bailey runs and tackles Sarah into the couch causing it to flip over and break the table and lamp that was behind it. The two wrestle around on the floor, exchanging cheap shots and elbows.

(Knock, knock, knock)

Bailey: get off me!! She knees Sarah in the stomach causing Sarah to crunch into the fetal position, Bailey throws her off and gets up to answer the door.
She opens the door bent over and out of breath.

Ellie: are you two ok? I heard an awful ruckus.
Bailey still out of breath: ya, (breathing hard) we are just doing some redecorating you know!
Ellie looks in the apartment and sees that everything is broken and destroyed: You two must have really gotten into it!

Just then Sarah comes and stands next to the door.
Sarah: (breathing hard) yah well, we don't have the same taste in furniture, I like green and she likes blue and we just couldn't agree so we are going to get ride of everything!
Ellie: ok… I could think of less damaging ways to get rid of things but... Anyways I am off to work, try not to kill each other.
Sarah and Bailey give a fake laugh
Bailey: will do cuz, have a good day at work!
Sarah: bye Ellie!

As Ellie walks off Bailey slams the door then Sarah up against it.
Bailey: now you listen to me, I don't know what the hell is going on, but I am not a double. If I was a double working for fulcrum I would have taken chuck when I first got here. As of now fulcrum still doesn't know anything about Chuck. They still think Bryce is the intersect. (Sarah sees a reflection of pain and hurt in Bailey's eyes) I guess my being here is a mistake and Bryce was right, you can't trust anyone in this business even the people you love!

(She lets go of Sarah and walks out the door.)

Sarah is rubbing her neck where bailey had a hold of her, "I think I just made a huge mistake!"

After Bailey left, Sarah went and sat out by the fountain to think, she couldn't do that in the apartment because everything was trashed. As she sits there deep in thought trying to make sense of the situation, Chuck exits from his apartment on his way to work.

Sarah: Morning! (She says half heartedly)
Chucks greeting was just as empty: Morning

As he walked by her he noticed the marks on her and looked over towards the apartment and saw everything was trashed.

Chuck: Are you ok? What happened in there? Where is Bailey?
Sarah's eyes reflected mass confusion as she stared at Chuck.

Sarah: I found a bug in my room…
Chuck: So you trashed the whole place, why didn't you just call the exterminator?
Sarah: (irritated) NO Chuck, there was a bug in my room, like the ones in your room!
Chuck thinks for a minute: OH... a bug, who put it there?

Sarah: I thought it was Bailey and when I confronted her about it she told me she didn't and I called her a liar and we had a fight and now I don't know where she is?

Chuck: I have a pretty good idea!
Sarah: Where?
Chuck: Why don't you let me handle this one and you get cleaned up and take care of the apartment.
Sarah: Chuck no, we were ordered to not leave you alone with Bailey!
Chuck: Sarah I don't know what's going on, and to tell you the truth I don't care. Bailey has done nothing but tell me the truth and been there when I needed her and she has done the same for you, now does that seem like a trait of a back stabber?
Sarah: (smiles as she thinks about it) No, its not.
Chuck: so I won't tell if you won't tell, ok?
Sarah: (looks at him with softness in her eyes and gives him a kiss on the lips) Tell what?
Chuck: exactly!

Chuck leaves to find Bailey and Sarah walks back into the apartment and makes a call on her cell phone.
Sarah: Yah, cleaning crew?

(Sarah gives them the address and an hour later they arrive.)

Sarah: I need everything back to normal by this afternoon, and I need a sweep of the apartment for bugs.

The cleaners look at her with a dumbfounded look.

Sarah: Not those bugs, the listening type bugs! Geez what is with everyone today?

The men start to work as Casey leaves his apartment on his way to work.

Casey: What the hell happened in there?
Sarah: Nothing, Bailey and I got into a fight.
Casey: About what? Did one of you forget to take out the trash?
Sarah: No you jackass, I found a bug in my room and I accused her of putting it there.
Casey: You didn't say anything that might have blown our cover did you?
Sarah: I don't think so.
Casey: What do you mean, you don't think so?
Sarah: After I accused her, I called her a liar and a double crosser, but she might think that's because I thought she was spying on me, not that I thought she is working for fulcrum.
Casey: You better hope not! Where is Chuck?

Sarah tenses up a little: He said he had some aarons to run then he was going to work.

Casey looks at her then grunts: Ok, I will check in later and see if we can figure out what is going on with your friend!

About 20 min later Chuck pulls up to what use to be an old High School. As he drives around back he sees Bailey's car parked next to the tennis courts. Bailey is out there serving the ball into an empty court.

Bailey: What are you doing here Chuck?
Chuck: I saw Sarah and she said yawl had a fight and I was worried.
Bailey: No need to worry about me, I can take care of myself.

(she serves the ball really hard leaving some yellow fuzz from the ball on the court.)

Chuck: I can see that. Listen I know you're like a trained killer and everything so please don't kill me but, did you put the bug in her room?
Bailey stops serving and looks over at Chuck: NO, I did not put any bugs in Sarah's room.

Chuck looks her in the eye and at her body language and could tell she was telling the truth, but was hurt by the sentiment coming form Sarah and him.

Chuck: So, do you have an extra racket? I haven't played in a while so don't kill me with your Andy Roddick serve!

Bailey laughs and points to her tennis bag and Chuck pulls out another racket and joins her on the court.

Back in Washington, Director Graham is on the phone with General Beckman.

Beckman: How is the video deciphering coming along?
Graham: I have my best people working on it, they have made progress but not enough for confirmation.
Beckman: Keep me informed, as soon as it is confirmed that Agent Fisher is a double, we will take matters into our own hands to keep the intersect in our control.
Graham: Agreed. (he hangs up the phone.)

At the Buy More, Chuck walks in a little sweaty and tired.

Morgan: Hey buddy, you look like you just had a good workout! Did you and the future Mrs. have a quickie in the storage room or something?
Chuck: No Morgan, I was playing tennis with Bailey.
Lester: Tennis, that sounds like it involves work and actual effort!
Chuck: It does.
Lester: That's not a game for me then.
Jeff: me either, I like to watch the females tennis on TV , they are always running around trying to hit the ball wearing those short skirts and tight shirts.
Lester: Really? I might have to start watching tennis then.
Jeff: Wimbledon, is coming up soon, that is a grand slam event.
Lester: I am always down for a grand slam event. (they laugh)
Chuck: Will you two get to work, here comes Big Mike!

(They scatter)

Morgan: Chuck, I don't see Big Mike anywhere?
Chuck: I know, they were getting on my nerves.

Casey walks over and looks at Morgan: Disappear!
Morgan: sure, but only because you asked nicely!
Chuck laughs: What's up big guy?
Casey: Where were you this morning?
Chuck: I had some things to do.
Casey looks at him and can tell he is hiding something.
Casey: Look Chuck, I know Bailey is your cousin and everything, but for now do not be alone with her unless Agent Walker or myself are with you! Got it?
Chuck: No, I don't have it! I can't believe that you guys are even thinking that Bailey is bad, it was probably you that put the bugs in Sarah's room.
Casey has a guilty look on his face.
Chuck: It was you wasn't it? You need to tell Sarah that so she's not worried or upset at Bailey.
Casey: I can't do that Chuck, they were put there for a good reason.
Chuck: For what reason? To spy on Sarah and me?
Casey: No Chuck that is the last thing I want to listen to!
Chuck: Then what?

Casey's phone starts to ring

Casey: We will finish this talk later, (he starts to walk off) and stay away from your cousin!

Back at the apartment complex, the cleaning crew has finished their job and all new furniture and accessories have been put in.

Cleaning Guy: Here you go Agent Walker, good as new.
Sarah: Thank you for doing this so fast.
Cleaning Guy: That' what we are good at, oh here (he hands her a bag) We found a total of 18 bugs around the apartment but no receiver.
Sarah: Thank you.

As they leave Sarah walks in the apartment and looks around, it didn't even look like they had a fight in there. She walks over to the new table and looks at a picture in a frame, it was Bailey and her in college after winning a doubles match in tennis. She let out a sigh and put the picture down and walked into her room, as she was getting dressed for work she looked in her closet and saw a long rectangular box that she hadn't opened in quite a while. She pulls it down and opens it and sees a dagger with a long stainless steel blade and black handle, she smiles as she reads the engraving on the handle. " To S from B, may this protect you when I cannot!" Sarah eyes water slightly as she sits on the bed.

Camera pans out and fades

Back at the Buy More, with Casey on the phone with General Beckman.

Casey: Any news on the contents of the video?
Beckman: progress has been made but no confirmation.
Casey grunts.
Beckman: Is Agent Fisher still unaware that we are watching her?
Casey: Yes, General she has no idea, I placed bugs around the apartment to see if I could pick up on anything unusual, but nothing has come up.
Beckman: Well either Agent Fisher is on our side, or she is very good at covering her tracks? All we know is that she is very good at her job and she would be a very valuable asset to fulcrum with her contacts and clearance.
Casey: Don't worry General, as soon as we get confirmation, she is as good as dead!
Beckman: Good, we can't afford to lose Mr. Bartowski just yet. (she hangs up and Casey has a cold look in his eyes.)

At Bailey and Sarah's apartment, Sarah decided to snoop in Bailey's room. As she looked around she saw pictures of Chuck, Ellie and Bailey when they were younger, then a few pictures of them in college. As she looked through the closet and drawers there was nothing out of the ordinary. She looked under the bed and mattress, nothing! She walked back downstairs and as she walked towards the kitchen she tripped over a loose board on the floor where a rug use to be.

Sarah thought for a minute, "that's why she wanted hardwood floors!" She bent down and pulled up the loose board and found a small suitcase. As Sarah opens up the suitcase she finds her service record as well as Casey's and tons of pictures of Chuck and them going all the way back to when they first arrived in Los Angeles. "They were right, she has been watching and gathering Intel on the intersect!" Sarah's was now irate, not only did Bailey lie, but she feel for it hook, line and sinker!

At the Spy Shop in the Buy More Plaza, Bailey is working at the counter reading an instruction manual on a thermal imaging device, when Casey walks in.

Bailey: Hey, check this thing out, I might get one for my gun!
Casey: Why is that so you can see us in the dark when you try and kill us?
Bailey: Your funny Casey, but I have had enough of the I'm the traitor talk today from Sarah, so can we talk about something else?
Casey: Is there a reason Walker should suspect you of being a traitor?
Bailey: Negative Ghost rider, If anyone should be a suspect it should be you!
Casey: ME!
Bailey: Yes, you. You are the bug man and don't think I don't know about the termination order from Beckman after the Beta intersect is up.

Casey looks at Bailey with a shocked look.

Bailey: I won't say anything about it to Chuck or Sarah, there is no need anymore now that I am in-charge.

Bailey walks out from behind the counter and puts the thermal back on the shelf, when Casey approaches at a uncomfortable distance grabbing her arm.

Casey: I know about you and Izzy!
Bailey's eyes get wide and cold: You don't know anything about that!
Casey: I saw the tape, I know you shot her and as soon as we find out what was said on that video, I will be more than happy to do the same to you!
Bailey: Casey, let go of my arm!
Casey: No, I am taking you in till we get confirmation, so it wont be so hard to track you down once your exposed as the traitor you are!

Casey tries to pull her towards the door, but Bailey jerks her arm free and pushes Casey into a shelf of surveillance equipment. Casey stands up and pulls out his gun and aims it at Bailey, but before he could pull the trigger Bailey kicks it out of Casey's hand. Casey throws a punch, but Bailey moves out of the way, Casey has lost a step in his fighting with his injury. He tries to throw another punch but Bailey blocks it and gives him a cheap shot to the ribs, causing him fall to the ground. Bailey walks over and grabs him by the collar.

Casey: you will never get away with this, when Walker finds out she is going to kick your ass!

Bailey: We will see about that! ( she pulls her arm back and uppercuts Casey knocking him out cold. Then leaves the store.)

Back in Washington, in General Beckman's office.

Graham: We are still working on the video, but I thought you might want to see this! This is what we have deciphered so far.

He plays the video for the General.

Bailey: Don't worry, no one can hear what we are saying. We want to know if you completed your mission before you were captured?
Izzy: Yes, after I was able to relocate the receiver and listen to its Intel, I was able to find out who Bryce Larkin sent the email to and who the intersect is!
Bailey: You mean an actual person has all the intersect secrets in there head?
Izzy: Yes, and the CIA and NSA are keeping him under close surveillance!
Bailey: This is very interesting, they will love to hear this! Who is it?
Izzy: A guy that works at the Buy More named Chuck Bartowski, he is some kind of computer geek!
Bailey: Chuck Bartowski, excellent! I will take care of everything from here.

The video goes back to static.

Beckman: When will they finish the last part?
Graham: Soon, but this doesn't look good.
Beckman: No it doesn't. I'm afraid we need to take matters into our own hands and terminate Agent Fisher!
Graham: What if we are wrong? What do we do about "Those we don't speak of?"
Beckman: That is a risk we will half to take, if Agent Fisher is not a Double she will just be considered a casualty of war.
General Beckman's phone rings, she talks for a few minutes then hangs up.
Agent Casey is in the Hospital unconscious, it appears that Agent Fisher has gone rogue!
Graham; I will make the call to Agent Walker to terminate Agent Fisher!

Sarah is in her room when her phone rings.

Director Graham: Agent Walker, it appears that Agent Fisher has gone rogue and put Agent Casey in the Hospital. I order you to terminate Agent Fisher!!

Sarah has a cold look in her eyes as she picks up the dagger Bailey gave to her. "With Pleasure" she replies and hangs up the phone!

At the Buy More, Chuck is back in the cage working on a laptop with a messed up disc drive when Bailey enters through the back.

Chuck: Hey cuz, how is your new job going?
Bailey: (out of breath from running over there,) not so good, Chuck listen I need you to come with me now!
Chuck: Ok, I'm almost on my lunch break. (He sees that Bailey has a serious face) is everything ok?
Bailey: No Chuck, everything is not ok, I need you to trust me and come with me back to the courts so I can fix things!
Chuck: Fix things? What's going on?
Bailey: CHUCK, I don't need you asking questions right now, I just need you to trust me!

Chuck looks at his cousin and sees a concerned and scared look in her eye's. His phone starts to ring. "Sarah's calling, maybe she can help?"

Bailey: No, Chuck don't answer it, I will explain everything on the way, PLEASE!
Chuck: Ok, (he lets it go to voicemail) lets go.

They leave out the back and get into Chucks nerd herder and head for the old high school.

Sarah is worried about Chuck not answering his phone, and she is praying that Bailey hadn't gotten to him already. As she pulls into the Buy More Plaza, she sees Chuck and Bailey speed off in the Nerd Herder. Trying not to be seen she follows at a relatively far distance to their destination point.

In the Nerd Herder.

Chuck: We need to tell Sarah and Casey!
Bailey: That's not going to happen Chuck, Sarah has probably already gotten the termination order on me and Casey is in the hospital.
Chuck: WHAT?? Why is Casey in the hospital?
Bailey: He came into the spy shop and tried to take me in and we got into a fight, and he lost! (Chuck has a freaked out look on his face) don't worry he will be fine!

Chuck: Look I am going to call Sarah and try to tell her what is going on!
Bailey: Ok Chuck but it's not going to help unless it comes from the Director.
Chuck: I have no service, I'm going to try and find a signal!

Chuck and Bailey get out of the car and Chuck walks around trying to find a signal, which leads him to leave the court area. Sarah sees Bailey is on the court alone and gets out of her car with dagger griped firmly in her hand.

Back in Washington a young man burst into the Generals office.

Man: I'm sorry General, but you're going to want to see this!

The man plays the rest of the deciphered tape for the General.

Bailey: Izzy, is there any other information you can give me on the intersect?
Izzy: No, that was all I was able to figure out.
Bailey: and you never got the chance to tell anyone else after you listen to the receiver?
Izzy: No, I told you, I got the receiver back, listen to the Intel and went after Chuck before I missed my window!
Bailey: Ok, that's good!
Izzy: What do you mean that's good?
Bailey: That's good no one else knows, because they are never going to find out! (Izzy gets a little restless in her chair) Izzy I work for an agency that is much more powerful and higher ranking than the CIA, FBI, and NSA and my whole 6 months of hanging around was to find out who really worked for fulcrum and how much information they knew, and thank you for providing most of that for me.
Izzy: You're a traitor!
Bailey: No, you are! (Bailey pulls out her gun and shoots Izzy, then the camera!)

Video ends

Beckman: Agent Fisher is not a double!! Get me Director Graham on the phone NOW!!

Beckman gets a hold of Graham and he makes a call to Sarah's cell phone but no answer.

We see Sarah's phone ringing in her car, but Sarah is sneaking up behind Bailey.

Graham: (to Sarah's voicemail) Agent Walker, if you have not already completed your task, abort, abort! Agent Fisher is not a double, I repeat Agent Fisher is not a double!

He hangs up the phone and looks at the General. "We are in serious trouble if Agent Walker terminates Agent Fisher!" The General and Director have a conflicted look on their face.

Back at the Tennis Court, Bailey is waiting for Chuck to come back and hears a noise behind her.

Bailey: Hey, where you able to get a hold of Sarah?

She turns around expecting to see Chuck, when Sarah lunges at her and stabs her in the chest with the dagger!

Bailey is taken by surprise as she grabs a hold of Sarah's hand still on the knife. Chuck comes back from around the corner and sees Sarah standing there with the knife in Bailey's chest.

Chuck: NNNOOO!! Sarah, she is not a Double!

Sarah looks at Chuck then looks back at Bailey, who has tears running from her eyes as she slumps down to the ground.

Chuck runs and slides next to his cousin and tries to stop the bleeding.
"She isn't a double! She told me about the tape of her killing Lizzy, she was working undercover to infiltrate fulcrum till she found out Lizzy knew my identity, so she found out what Lizzy knew then killed her!" Chuck has tears streaming down his face. "She left her undercover status to come protect me!"

Sarah eyes start to water as the reality of it all starts to sink in! She tries to help Chuck stop the bleeding as she looks at Bailey. "Bailey, I'm sorry, I'm so sorry I didn't believe you!" Sarah's tears are running full stream as Bailey looks at her and grabs her hand and grips it tight.

Bailey tries to speak but with the knife lodged in her chest it makes it hard for her to breath. "I would never lie or hurt you Sarah." Bailey coughs and squeezes her hand really tight before blacking out.

Chuck grabs her face and starts to shake it to wake her up.

Chuck: Bailey! NO, Bailey! Stay with me, don't you die! (His emotions take over and his tears consume him) Bailey! You can't die on me, you half to stay here and protect me!

He leans down and puts his head by her stomach and cries for her to wake up again. Sarah is trying to stop the bleeding when the ambulance arrives and Bailey to the Hospital.

At the Hospital, the EMT's are rolling Bailey into the ER when they run into Ellie.

Ellie: What do we got?
EMT: Female, Caucasian, mid 20's with stab wound to right chest, severe loss of blood.
Ellie: (Getting prep) do we have a name?

Chuck runs in with Sarah

Chuck: Ellie, its Bailey!
Ellie looks at Chuck then down at her cousin, she is in shock and doesn't know how to react.
EMT: Doctor, are you all right?

Ellie snaps out of it: Yes, I need her intebated fast, and I need some blood to keep her from going into shock.

The nurses and EMT's work franticly to help her.

Ellie: Chuck how did this happen?
Chuck struggles to find the right thing to say: There was a robbery at the spy shop and Casey was trying to help and that's why he is here and they stabbed Bailey!
Sarah: (still crying) Ellie is she going to be ok?
The look Ellie gives them is not a confident one: I don't know but I need you two to get out of here so we can work!

All of a sudden the heart machine goes crazy.

Nurse; Doctor her right lung has collapsed and she is going into cardiac arrest.
Ellie pulls out the knife and places a small piece of plastic over the wound and tapes it on three side to act as a cover so air can get back into her lung.
Ellie: Where is that blood, she is going to die if we don't get some in her!

Chuck and Sarah are still standing there in shock as they watch Bailey start to fade.

Ellie: CHUCK, GET OUT OF HERE NOW!!

Chuck looks at her: I am not leaving her, she wouldn't leave me!

Sarah looks at Chuck and grabs his hand. Chuck looks at Sarah who eyes reflect a look of apology and regret. Chuck on the other hand looks at Sarah with disappointment and a little distain.

Chuck: I think it's time for you to go!
Sarah: What?
Chuck: I don't want you here, in fact I don't want you anywhere near here!
Sarah's tear have come back in full force and has a look of shame in her eyes as she looks at Chuck.
Chuck takes her by the arm and leads her out the room, as they get in the hallway Chuck lets go of her arm and walks back in the room shutting the door in Sarah's face.

Nurse: Flat-line!!
Ellie: Charge the paddles!

We end with Ellie trying to revive Bailey with the defibulator, Chuck looking on as his sister is trying to save their cousin and Sarah out in the hallway crouched down next to the door crying at the fact that her best friend is about to die by her hand!
