Pictures of a gloomy Los Angeles sunset and a zoomed in shot of a cemetery with a pastor giving a eulogy.
Pastor: she may have been taken from this world before her time, but we must think of the joys she brought to our lives and service she did for her country.
We see shots of Ellie, Chuck, Awesome, Morgan and Anna sitting in chairs dressed in black with tears in there eyes. Casey is off in the back away from everyone also dressed in black wearing sunglasses to hide the few tears he shed.
Pastor: ashes to ashes, dust to dust. (He walks over to Chuck and Ellie.) Her soul is at peace now.
Ellie tries to be comforted by the pastor's words but it is no help, Awesome puts his arm around her and walks her to the car, followed by Morgan, Anna and Chuck.
A person standing off in the distance holding a single red rose waits for everyone to disperse before approaching. They look into the open casket and gaze upon the peaceful body of Bailey. The person lays the rose down on her chest and starts to cry. All of a sudden Bailey's dead hand moves on to the person hand startling them! Bailey's eyes open wide and she sits straight up in the casket and sees she has a hold of a frightened Sarah's arm!
Bailey: come with me Sarah!! (She says in a scary, creepy voice) as she pulls a screaming Sarah into the casket, we see the casket plummet into the 6ft hole and slam shut with Sarah still inside screaming!!
Sarah wakes up screaming and jumps out of her bed and falls to the ground and hides in the corner of her room. Breathing hard and sweating, she realizes it was just a dream and puts her face in her hands and starts to cry.
Back at the hospital we see chuck sitting in a chair next to his cousins bed, by the looks of it he has been there for a few days. His face has a tired look to it and he has started to grow a beard.
The sounds of Baileys heart monitor made a steady and strong beeping noise that finally put him to sleep. Ellie walks in and checks Bailey's vitals and fluids, then looks over at Chuck. She walks over and runs her hand through his hair and quietly calls out his name.
Ellie: Chuck! Chuck wake up!
Chucks eyes open slightly and he smiles at the sight of his sister. His smile quickly fades as he remembers where he is and why he's there.
Ellie: Chuck, go home and get some sleep and for god sakes shave your face! You don't want to scare Bailey when she wakes up!
Chuck: I'm not leaving here till I know she is going to be ok!
Ellie: Chuck I can assure you I did everything I possible could do, her lung has been patched up, she is breathing on her own and her heart beat is strong! She will be soar for a long time and have a nasty scare but trust me she will be fine! I will call you when she wakes up!
Chuck smiles at his sister and gives her a hug before he heads out the door to go home.
Casa Bartowski
Chuck walks into the apartment and throws his keys on the table. The load noise made from the keys wakes a sleeping Morgan past out on the couch.
Morgan: Hey man, you scared me!
Chuck: sorry buddy, (he goes and sits on the couch next to Morgan and lets out a sigh, then weird look comes over his face.) how long have you been sleeping on the couch?
Morgan: umm, a few hours I thought you would come home last night but I guess I was wrong!
Chuck: no I was at the hospital waiting for Bailey to wake up.
Morgan: has she?
Chuck: not yet but Ellie assures me she will.
Morgan: listen to your sister chuck, she is a wise woman. (He points a finger at chuck)
Chuck: thanks buddy; I think I am going to hop in the shower and shave, then hit the sake.
Morgan: NO!! You can't shave, you can grow it out like mine, and we can look like twins!
Chuck looks at Morgan: nope sorry little buddy I'm not doing that again. The beard is gone!
Morgan: fine but let me take a quick picture so you can remember what you look like with one! (Morgan grabs Chuck's iphone and snaps a picture of the two of them and their beards! "Get some sleep buddy and I will be by to check on you later!" he leaves out his Morgan door.
Moment's later chuck enters his room from the bathroom wearing nothing but a towel. His face has nicks from where he cut himself with a razor. He walks over to get a pair of sweats out of his drawer when he notices a figure in his window. He turns to look and sees a very tired and red eyed Sarah starring at him.
Chuck: what are you doing here? (In a very nasty tone.)
Sarah: I wanted to see how you were...
Chuck cut her off: NO! You wanted to see if I was still mad at you for almost killing my cousin!!
Sarah: chuck do you think I feel good about...
Chuck cuts her off again: I don't care, and I don't want to hear it and I really don't want to look at you right now so you can exit the same way you entered!
Sarah has tears running from her eyes, she knows that he is still hurting and is in a lot of emotional pain, but so was she and the only people she could talk to about it were in the hospital or wanted nothing to do with her.
Chuck waits for Sarah to leave with his back to the window. He hears her start to exit and a faint, "I'm sorry chuck" amongst a lot of tears. He closes his eyes and lets out a breath and decided he was not going to give in or apologize for this one, he was going to stand his ground. He turned around and Sarah was gone, he shut the window and locked it and shut the curtain so he could have total darkness in his room. He gets into bed and stares at the ceiling about to fall asleep when his phone rings.
Ellie: chuck Bailey is awake get over here!
Chuck: I am on my way!! With a smile on his face he jumps out of bed and changes into a pair of jeans and a shirt, grabs his keys and leaves.
At the hospital Sarah walks into Casey's room to check on him.
Sarah: hey, how are you feeling?
Casey: well I thought being shot in the ribs was painful, but she broke 2 and that doesn't feel so hot either!
Sarah: I walked by her room a minute ago trying not to be seen. She is awake finally!
Casey: have we heard from the General or Director?
Sarah :they called, there not happy with the situation and chuck isn't being watched as much as they want! Sarah lowers her head.
Casey, showing the soft sugar bear side: he still won't talk to you?
Sarah: no, I can't even finish a sentence without him cut me off and barking at me.
Casey: he will understand one day...
Sarah: no he won't, he watched me stab his cousin in the chest, even if it was order he..I ...
Casey: see this is why getting emotionally involved with people is bad!
Sarah: shut up Casey!
After Sarah says that chuck walks in the room.
Chuck: how are you feeling Casey?
Casey: I've been better.
Sarah: how is Bailey?
Chuck looks at her then the floor. "She was stabbed in the chest with a knife by someone she considered her best friend! How do you think she is doing!" (Sarah stands up from the chair she was sitting in and faces the window to hide her tears.) She is in recovery and Ellie said she should be good to go home in a few days, but I don't think she will be chasing bad guys for a while.
Sarah: chuck you don't understand how hard our job is sometimes!
Chuck: and that is a good thing!
Casey: Chuck, back off!
Chuck: No, she is right I don't understand how you can get close to someone, pretend to be their friend then the next moment, just because of an order, kill them! And all she ever did was tell the truth, even about the bugs in your room Sarah! Casey put them there, not Bailey. (Cut to Sarah looking at Casey who has a guilty expression on his face) I mean for god sakes Sarah, you never gave her a chance to explain! But when there was a kill order out on Bryce you didn't shoot him right away, you gave him every opportunity to explain himself!! I guess the love of your best friend couldn't match the one of the boyfriend!
Sarah: chuck I do not love Bryce and...
Chuck: that's right Agent Walker, you don't love anyone!
Sarah smacks chuck across the face.
Chuck regroups himself and looks at Casey and Sarah: I only have one more thing to say to you two before I go see me cousin!
I know I'm not the sharpest tool in the shed when it comes to this spy stuff!(Casey grunts) but I know that when the government has no more use for me that I will either be put away or terminated so Casey if its you, please make it quick and easy. A bullet to the head or something painless, I kinda have a low tolerance for pain!
And Sarah (they look into each others eyes but chuck has a cold and bitter reflection) well we all know your method of choice, just make sure if its you, get me right in the back and straight through my heart because I wouldn't expect anything less from someone who has deceived me!
Chuck turns and walks out the room with a tear in his eye. Casey and Sarah just sit in the room.
Casey: did it just get cold in here or is it just me?
Sarah looks at him with an upsetting look.
Chuck wipes his face and walks into Bailey's room, where Ellie and Awesome are looking after her. She sees chuck and just smile because it is hard for her to speak.
Ellie being all emotional and crying: don't ever scare me like that again you hear me!?
Bailey nods in agreement and squeezes Ellie's hand.
Awesome: hey future cuz, im glad your ok but the future Mrs. and I need to go do rounds so we will be back later to check on you, sound awesome?
He gives her a thumbs up, which she returns. As they leave chuck comes in and sits next to her bed and holds her hand.
Chuck: I am sorry that Sarah did this, I told her not to come near you again!
Bailey :( in pain tries to speak) I want to talk to her, please go get her for me!
Chuck is questionable about his cousin's request!
"Your not going to try and kill her when she gets in here are you? Because as much as I dislike her right now she is still my girlfriend or cover girlfriend but not, (confusing himself) you know what I mean.
Bailey laughs at Chuck and grabs her chest where she was stabbed due to the slight amount of pain. In a low voice "no chuck I'm not going to kill her, I want to tell her I'm alright and so are we!"
Chuck: that's it? Your fine with the fact that you best friend stabbed you in the chest with a knife?
Bailey: Calm down chuck, you don't understand this life we have chosen, it's not good to hold a grudge. So will you please go get her for me?
Chuck: sure (in a not happy tone) she is down the hall in Casey's room. Chuck starts to leave her room
Bailey: Chuck!
Chuck: yah?
Bailey: tell Casey I'm sorry about the cheap shot! And be nice to Sarah, she is going through more than you think!
Chuck grunts at his cousin's last request, and yet he was still confused as to how Bailey still believes Sarah is her friend after what she did! He walks down the hall and back in Casey's room and knocks on the door. Casey and Sarah are talking about battle scars and seeing who has had the most broken bones.
Chuck: knock, knock!
Casey: what do you want now Bartowski? We don't want to here your ungrateful mouth anymore today!
Chuck: trust me if I had a choice I would not be here right now! (Sarah and Casey look at chuck) Bailey is doing well, she is awake and wanted me to tell you Casey she was sorry for the cheap shot and she hopes you understand.
(Casey surprisingly doesn't grunt but chuckles and grins) and Sarah (there is a slight pause as the two make eye contact) she wants to see you!
Sarah: aahh, I don't think that's such a great idea! And I thought you didn't want me near her?
Chuck: she is a grown woman that can make her own decisions even if I disagree, but she wants to talk to you and let you know that yawl are good so please?
Chuck stands away from the door with his arm out directing Sarah in the direction of baileys room. Sarah glances over at Casey who nods in agreement that she should go then walks out the door.
As they walk to baileys room Sarah looks at chuck and decides to speak hoping he won't bark at her with this many people around.
Sarah: are you ok with this?
Chuck just looks straight ahead: it's not my decision.
Sara: that's not what I asked!
Chuck: she told me to be nice to you because I don't understand things that happen in yawls business and that you are having a harder time dealing with this than I think!
Sarah: she's right!
Sarah stops walking and grabs his hand to stop him and grips it tight. They both stand there for a moment looking at their hands. Chuck looks up at Sarah who has tears in her eyes looking down at the floor. Chuck leads her into a near by empty room and is still holding on to one hand and places the other on her cheek and touches their foreheads together and whisper. "I may not be the happiest person with you right now, but I want you to know that I am still here Sarah and I always will be.
Sarah is still crying and looking down at the floor, but brings up her other hand and places it over the top of chucks hand on her cheek. "I wish you could understand"
Chuck backs away causing Sarah to look up at him, he moves her up against a wall in the room, their faces near inches away from one another. "Then help me understand!" Sarah's eyes switch back and forth between his all she has to do is lean in just a tad.
She closes her eyes and leans forward to kiss him but opens her eyes to see he's not standing in front of her anymore, but over by the door. She lowers her head again in disappointment. Chuck takes a deep breath then lets it out and holds out his hand for her to take.
"Come with me Sarah" Sarah's head jerks back up and she looks at chuck with fear in her eyes. "What did you just say?"
Chuck: come with me to baileys room, so you two can talk.
Sarah's heart skips a beat as she recalls her dream last night, she was looking at chuck with a 1,000yrd stare but shakes out of it and takes his hand and heads towards baileys room.
As they walk in bailey smiles as she sees them holding hands, Sarah on the other hand stops 3 feet in the door as she looks at her friend speechless.
Chuck: I think I will take this as my queue to go wait in the car! As he turns to leave he notices Sarah is still holding his hand and looking at bailey. He leans in and whispers in her ear. "Its ok I will be right outside" that breaks her concentration and she lets go of his hand. Chuck walks out and Sarah is standing there in silence not knowing what to say.
Bailey: What? No, how are you Bailey? I'm glad you're still alive and I didn't kill you!
She starts to laugh the grabs her chest.
Sarah: you think this is funny? Do you have any idea what I have been through the past few days! I thought my best friend was a double agent, and then I try to kill her and come to find out she's not. I felt like I was the one dieing on that table in there. Then you are haunting me in my dreams.
Bailey: really?? that's awesome!
Sarah looks at bailey with a not amused look.
"Ok not awesome, Sarah you did what you had to do! I wish you would have said something so I could explain then we wouldn't be in this position but I forgive you.
Sarah: I stabbed you in the chest with a knife, how can you just forgive me?
Bailey: by remembering what it is we were trained to do and how important it is to have someone in your life you love and trust!
Sarah: how can you still trust me when I didn't trust you?
Bailey: you and I have been through a lot and we have been deceived a time or two so I understand your mistrust in people, I just hope now that I am not a person on that list because I don't think I could survive another Sarah attack! She laughs.
Sarah smiles as a tear starts to form in her right eyes, she gets up from her chair and gives bailey a hug.
Bailey: ahh…pain. Get off me.
Sarah laughs, I am so sorry!
Bailey: hey a true friend stabs you in the front, not the back!
They share another laugh. Just then chuck walks back in with a weird look on his face.
Bailey: I thought you were going to wait in the car?
Sarah grunts. He tries to speak but can't find the words.
Sarah: what is it, what's wrong?
Chuck: turn the TV to channel 13.
Bailey picks up the channel changer and flips it to channel 13. There is a news report of a missing person's body recovered at a local cemetery and a picture of a man they think is responsible for their murder. As a sketch of a man is being shown chuck flashes: the man is Brodi Mitchell aka the undertaker, he is the US most dangerous sereal killer know to date, he kidnaps his victims mostly in there mid 20's and burry's them alive in the cemetery!
Bailey: eeww freaking weirdo!
Bailey looks at Sarah who has a freaked out look on her face. "sweetie you ok?"
Sarah: that nightmare I said you were haunting me in!
Bailey: yah, what about it?
Sarah: I dreamed that we were at your funeral and (she sees chuck giving her a look) well to make a long story short you pulled me in the coffin and we fell to the bottom of the grave and the lid shut burring us alive!
Bailey: geez Sarah!
Sarah: I am afraid to fall asleep, I don't want to go through that again!
Bailey: you won't! Chuck is going to stay with you tonight at our place and if it happens again maybe tracking down this killer will help clear your mind!
Sarah: I don't want to inconvience chuck, I'm sure he's not that happy with me yet. (she looks over at him)
Chuck: I told you I am here for you, I will do it, I mean not do it but I will sleep with you, I mean not sleep but...im just going to shut up now!
Bailey laughs as she sees both of them blush.
Bailey: ok then, chuck will stay at our place to keep you company and I guess I have to wait here another night. I need to call director graham and general Beckman, now they I will not be as forgiving to!!
Ellie walks in. "Hey cuz , since your awake I brought you some company!" She wheels in Casey in his bed and puts them next to each other. "I though you two could keep each other company, you both can go home tomorrow!"
Chuck: That's great you two can sit here and talk while I take Sarah out to get something to eat.
Sarah: You are?
Chuck: Yes, I am. I think there are a few things we need to talk about.
Sarah is pleased at the fact Chuck is willing to talk to her again. She walks over and stands next to him and he puts his arm around her and smiles. Ellie sees her little brother comforting his girlfriend and smiles also.
Ellie: Ok, I will see you guys in the morning to help with the checking out process, and chuck I will see you tonight when I get home.
Chuck: Actually sis, I am going to stay with Sarah tonight so I will see you here in the morning as well!
Ellie has a big ecstatic grin on her face after hearing that news. "Ok, bye everyone!"
They all wave goodbye to Ellie as she leaves the room, Chuck removes his arm from around Sarah causing her to frown.
Bailey: You two get out of here and if anything else happens give me a call. As for now I have a General and a Director to fry!!
Chuck and Sarah leave but don't look to enthused about spending the rest of the day or night together, under any other circumstances this would be a dream come true for Chuck, but as it stands its Sarah's nightmare!
Casey: So what did I miss?
Bailey: I will tell you in a few minutes! Do you have the Generals number?
Casey calls the number and hands Bailey the phone.
Beckman: Agent Fisher, we are glad that you are recovering well!
Bailey: Awe thanks General, (sarcastically) and if it wasn't for you and Director Graham's incompetence, neither I nor Agent Casey would be in this predicament!
Beckman: I beg your pardon?
(Casey has a shocked and slightly turned on look on his face)
Bailey: You heard me! If you would have followed the proper chain of command and contacted my supervisors you would have found out all you needed to know, but since the NSA and the CIA are still butt hurt from having this assignment taken away, you two decided to play glory hogs!
Beckman: Agent Fisher need I remind you of who you're speaking to?
Bailey: I know exactly who I am speaking to General, and with all do respect if you or the Director pull a stunt like this again without following proper protocol, I will have my agency fire every single Agent all the way up to you two so there will be no more need to worry about who is a double and who isn't, do I make myself clear General Beckman?
There is a silence on the phone, but you can hear someone on the other side.
"General, if you like staying in the know with this assignment I highly suggests you answer me before I take the whole assignment away from the NSA and CIA!
Beckman: I understand Agent Fisher, it will not happen again!
Bailey: Thank you very much for your cooperation General Beckman and you and Director Graham have a splendid day!
Bailey hangs up the phone before the General could respond and hands it back to Casey.
Casey: Have you lost your mind?
Bailey: Oh please. They had that coming, and don't even tell me that you haven't wanted someone to put them in their place for a long time! Since you're too much of a pansy to do it yourself! (She smiles at him)
Casey: Pansy?
Bailey: It's ok sugar bear, they can fire you, but they can't touch me!
Casey gets red with anger at the sugar bear comment.
"awe, did anyone tell you how cute you look when you're angry?"
Casey was now embarrassed, he knew he wouldn't be able to stay mad at her, despite everything that had happened he still respected her and had a soft spot for her.
After Bailey's remarks to General Beckman, we cut to Chuck and Sarah down at the beach sitting in the sand. Sarah is sitting in front of Chuck leaning back into him while he rubs her shoulders.
Sarah: I know Bailey said to be nice to me but you don't have to do that if you don't want to!
Chuck works his hands up the back of her neck.
Sarah: (melts into him even more) Ok, I lied; you do have to keep doing that!
Chuck laughs as he stares out over the water: I love the ocean, I like to sit here and clear my head when I have a lot on my mind. It's peaceful and tranquil.
Sarah: I remember finding you here after you found out about the intersect and Bryce and me!
Chuck: and do you remember what you said to me when you first sat down?
Sarah: Talk to me Chuck?
Chuck: That's right, now it's your turn! Talk to me Sarah, help me understand what's going on in that head of yours. Maybe together we can figure out what is haunting you?
Sarah grabs Chuck's hands and wraps them around her body, causing him to squeeze her tightly as they watch the sunset.
Sarah: When you first started to have your flashes and were "freaking out" as you like to say. What helped you overcome it?
Chuck: Umm…I haven't really. I still freak out on some of them, but I always had you or Casey there to calm me down and help make sense of the information. If it wasn't for you I would have admitted myself into a loony bin a long time ago because I wouldn't understand what was happening to me!
Sarah smiles at Chucks comment.
Chuck: There's that beautiful smile I have missed so much!
Sarah: I never gave much thought to what happens in that head of yours when you have a flash. I just though you would see pictures and the information in-coded on them, I never considered the feelings that you go through when that happens until now! I know a very vivid nightmare and a flash are two different things but on some level I think there the same!
Chuck: I agree, I think some of the images I see make me feel like I just had a nightmare or bad dream. The one I had with Casey and Ilsa's love letters where she called him Sugar Bear! Now that was the worse nightmare I ever had!!
Sarah laughs and looks up to see that Chuckish grin that she had missed over the past few days. "There is that smile I have missed" she says as she leans her head back into his chest.
As they sit and watch the sun sink into the ocean Sarah kisses Chucks hand and closes her eyes to listen to the peaceful sound of the waves breaking onto the beach.
Sarah: Thank you for bringing me here!
Chuck: You're welcome. (He hugs her tight and kisses her neck.) You know I think this is the first real and meaningful conversations we ever had!
Sarah: (shakes her head in agreement) I count on having many more with you!
Back at the Hospital, Bailey and Casey are trying to keep occupied while waiting for morning.
Bailey: This sucks!
Casey: Well if you would have told us what happened in the beginning, we wouldn't be here!
Bailey: (in a childish banter) well if I would have though that the information was relevant I would have said something! And it's not my fault your supervisors are dumbasses!! Besides I thought the less people that knew about that tape the better.
Casey: You know in all seriousness, I thought you were stupid for giving up what you had for Chuck.
Bailey: You sound like my supervisor!
Casey: He is a smart man.
Bailey: Maybe, but you want to know why I'm not mad at Sarah or you for not trusting me?
Casey: enlighten me!
Bailey: Because I could tell the moment I arrived here that this is more than a job to the two of you now, and if I did die Chuck would be in good hands. As much as I know you hate to admit it, you have grown attached to my cousin and you are now protecting him, not the intersect. And you and Sarah have grown close as well. (Casey grunts) I know you ,and I know how much you hate to work with a partner, but you two compliment each other in your actions to protect Chuck, and normally you would care less if they got romantically involved but you do because you don't want to see either of them get hurt! So Casey, stupid is as stupid does!
Casey gives off a low growl because as always she was right.
Bailey: Hey, you want to play battleship?
Casey: Huh?
On the outskirts of town Chuck has taken Sarah to one of his favorite sandwich shops.
Chuck: Here we are, one of the best kept secrets in LA.
Sarah: Brown Bag Sandwich Shop? (She gives him a funny look)
Chuck rubs his belly: MMMmmm, yes, brown bag, they have really good Philly cheese-steak sandwiches here along with pastrami and ham, turkey, roast beef!
Sarah: Ok, ok I get the point let's go in before you recite the whole menu!
They go inside and get their order and sit and eat at an outside table that has a nice view of the LA skyline.
Chuck: what did you get?
Sarah: Tuna on wheat with mustard, tomatoes and pickles.
Chuck looks at her with a grossed out look.
Sarah: What I like tuna? What did you get?
Chuck: Philly Cheese-steak, with extra onions!!mmmmm!
Sarah: you are sleeping on the floor tonight!
Chuck, with a mouth full of his sandwich: What? I will brush my teeth and spend an extra 30 seconds using mouthwash!
Sarah laughs at him as he gives her that smile she can't resist.
Chuck: You know Sarah, at the beach you said you hope to have more truthful and meaningful conversations with me.
Sarah: yah.
Chuck: Well I want you to try explaining to me the details of your job that almost had you kill my cousin.
Sarah nearly chokes on her sandwich. After clearing her throat she looks at Chuck who is waiting and explanation.
Sarah: Chuck, uuhh.. I wasn't always this cold hearted or manipulative. When I meet Bailey we were just college girls having fun, doing stupid college things then when we were both approached by a CIA representative in the middle of our sophomore year, we both had a long conversation of what joining would entail.
Chuck: And you both decided to join together?
Sarah: Yes. They told us to get whatever family things we needed to out of the way because it would be a while before we would see them again, if ever.
Chuck: I guess that's why the last time I saw Bailey was spring break sophomore year!
Sarah: After we graduated and went through our basic training, it was very noticeable that Bailey had a lot stronger tactical and weapons abilities than I did, and they had her take a test, then the next thing I knew she was gone!
Chuck: What do you mean gone?
Sarah: She passed her test with flying colors and she was picked up by "those we don't speak of" and I was left alone with no one but myself to trust. After about a year or so I saw and did many things, death, destruction, deception, I felt like this wasn't the life for me after all, that was until I met Bryce.
Chuck makes a not interested face that Sarah quickly picks up on.
Sarah: Bryce taught me how to deal with the lying and deceiving part of the job, it seemed he had a lot of practice.
Chuck: Yah, I'd say!
Sarah: After we were partners for a while, we would run into Bailey ever so often, whenever we needed her help she was there. But I had become a different person, a person that only believed in the orders that she was told and never trusted anyone else until… (she trails off)
Chuck: Until?
Sarah: Until about 6months ago when I was on a roof top pointing my gun at a man that found himself in the wrong place at the wrong time and had no idea how much his future was about to change!
Chuck doesn't say anything, he just looks straight into her eyes then reaches his hand across the table to hers and holds it.
Sarah; When Bailey showed up and the General told me about the tape I was in disbelief that my best friend could be a double, but I went against my heart and my gut and followed orders and now I feel ashamed and confused and…
Chuck: Sarah, look at me..(Sarah looks up and into chucks eyes.) Thank you!
Sarah: For what?
Chuck: for finally opening up and helping me understand how crazy and messed up the world inside your head is!! (he laughs)and just when I thought it wasn't possible, I think I just feel in love with you even more!
Sarah: What?
Chuck: I love you Sarah, I am tired of this cat and mouse game we play and your excuse of "it's just a job!" I think it has been more than just a job for a long time.
Sarah: It has been.
Chuck: then say it! Say how you really feel about me!
Sarah: Chuck…. (she looks over and sees a man a few tables down that has been there the whole time staring at them.) I think it's time we head back to the apartment!
Chuck was livid as he stood up and walked over to Sarah's car. The whole car ride home was a quiet one with Sarah making sure they weren't being tailed and Chuck looking out the passenger side window feeling like an idiot for putting himself out there again! As they walk into the apartment and Sarah turns on a few lights and looks around ,she walks back into the living room and sees Chuck's hateful look.
Sarah: What?
Chuck: WHAT?
Sarah walks over to him: yah what is that look?
Chuck: I just confessed that I am in love with you and you just ignored me (Sarah's face drops, she didn't mean to ignore him, on the contrary she was very happy to hear him say those words.)
Before Chuck could say another word Sarah walked upstairs to her bedroom.
Chuck: No, you're not getting out of this that easy!
He runs upstairs and bust through Sarah's door just to find Sarah waiting for him on the other side and throwing him into the wall.
Sarah: I wasn't ignoring you! ( she plants a deep, passionate kiss on him then pulls away) I wasn't ignoring you, I was just waiting till we were somewhere a little more comfortable and private!
They look into each others eyes for a moment before Chuck decides he was going to take full advantage of this situation. He pulls her in close then flips around to where she is the one pinned against the wall by his body! They kiss again, feverishly and excitedly. Chuck breaks away from Sarah's lips and moves down to her neck, sucking and nibbling on it. Both their emotions totally out of control but wanted!
Sarah: (breathing hard and rapidly) I love you Chuck!
Chuck stops kissing her neck and looks up into her eyes, both their eyes are switching back and forth between each other, and Sarah smiles. "I mean it! I love you!"
Chuck smiles and slowly kisses her lips. Sarah reaches up and undoes his tie and slides it off from around his neck. Chuck breaks away and glides his hands down the curves of her body to her waist and grabs a hold of her shirt and pulls it off over her head. They smile and exchange small kisses as they take turns removing articles of clothing. Sarah pushes Chuck back to where he falls on the bed, he sits up and grabs a hold of her and pulls her down on top of him.
Chuck: Are you sure you want to do this?
Sarah doesn't verbally answer, she just smiles and starts to kiss his lips. Chuck smiles back at her then flips around on top of her. The camera starts to pan out the window looking up at the moon in the sky, where you can hear Chuck and Sarah giggling and fooling around in the background and for the first time they make love.
Back at the Hospital
Casey: G4
Bailey: Miss! C9
Casey: Damn, HIT!
Bailey: Ha, ha.
Casey (growling): B3
Bailey: Miss!! Dude you suck at this game!! C8
Casey: You sunk my Battleship! I hate this game!
Bailey: I win...again!! that makes it Bailey 10 and Casey 1!!
Casey: Can we play something else now?
Bailey: Sure want to play rummy?
Casey: do I have a choice?
Bailey: No!
Back at Sarah and Bailey's apartment, we zoom in on a sleeping Chuck and Sarah, obviously worn out from their late night exercise! Chuck has his arm draped over Sarah and they are in the spooning position, with smiles on their face. The window next to the bed is left open to get air circulating in the room. A large dark figure emerges from the window and looks upon the resting couple in there sleep. The man walks around the room studying the couple and the things in the room.
Sarah awakes with a chilled feeling and looks over and sees the window is open. She slides out from under chucks arm and kisses him as she gets up and puts on her robe. After shutting the window she walks towards the bathroom and starts the shower, she looks back in at Chuck who is now sleeping on his back with the biggest Chuckish grin she has ever seen.
She gets ready to get in the shower when she notices something moving around back in the bedroom! She reaches over to her vanity and grabs her lipstick knife and creeps back into the bedroom. She walks in quiet as a mouse into a completely dark room, she looks over and Chuck is still asleep in bed when the man emerges from behind her grabbing her and covering her mouth so she couldn't scream! She tries to fight back but the man is to strong, he holds her throat till she starts to lose consciousness and as he lays her on the floor he says "Come with me Sarah." Sarah's eyes are open just enough to make Brodi Mitchell's face out clearly then passes out.
Sarah: CHUCK, HELP ME!! (she screams and gasps for air)
Chuck: SARAH, SARAH. Wake up Sarah your having another nightmare!
Sarah sits straight up in bed and grabs her neck and looks around the room gathering her bearings.
Chuck: Sarah, (he runs his hand up and down her back) hey it's ok, I am here, its ok.
Once Sarah's breathing returned to normal and she figured out it was just a dream, she turns and looks into a worried Chuck's eyes .
Chuck: Are you ok? You scared the crap out of me?
Sarah: I had a dream that, that Brodi Mitchell was here in our room and he was suffocating me and he was going to take me to the cemetery and burry me!
Chuck: It was just a dream, I am here and I will never let anything like that happen to you!
Sarah lays back down with her head on Chuck's chest then says: What if it's someone's ways of telling me he is going to strike again?
Chuck looks down at Sarah with a confused and freaked out look. "What like a ghost or something?"
Sarah: Maybe, or Maybe I am connecting with him on some subconscious level?
Chuck: Ok, sweetie you need to just lay down and relax because you are getting a little to medium for me! We will go see Bailey and Casey in a few hours and tell them what happened and see what our next step is! (He sees she isn't paying attention to what he is saying!) HEY!
Sarah: Yah?
Chuck: I love you!
Sarah smiles and wraps her arms around him. I love you to!
Sarah's nightmare was enough to keep the couple from going back to sleep so they got ready and went to the hospital to inform Bailey and Casey.
Bailey: you two are here early did something happen last night?
Chuck and Sarah look at each other then down at the floor blushing.
Bailey: I meant did you have another dream? I don't want to know any other details!
Sarah: Yes, I had a dream that Brodi Mitchell came into my room last night while I was about to get in the shower and chuck was asleep! (She pauses for a second before continuing) I went back in the room and he snuck up behind me and started chocking me! He was to strong to fight off and I passed out on the floor and that's when I woke up screaming!
Chuck: It was scary, she thinks someone is trying to tell her something.
Casey: Yah, like its time to go see the loony doctor!
Bailey: Shut up Casey, before I tell everyone your dreams about the cute and fuzzy bunnies!!
Casey has a look of horror on his face that Bailey even remembers that, while Chuck on the other hand has a curious and amused look on his face.
Sarah: I think somehow I am communicating with him on a subconscious level and I think it's a sign that he is going to kill again!
Bailey: I think your right!
Casey/Sarah/Chuck: You do?
Bailey: Yes, I do. I think after what has happened your mind is in a state of confusion and fear.
Sarah: but im not afraid of anything! This is just some sort of weird….thing!
Casey: Yah, straight out of the twilight zone!! I have to protect a guy with a government super computer in his head and my partner that is 1 step away from being put in a straight jacket because she is communicating with murders on a subconscious level! Is it to late to ask for a re-assignment?
Bailey: Shut up Casey, and yes it is!
Just then Ellie walks into the room with some forms.
Ellie: Morning everyone! How was everyone's night?
Bailey: ok, john here sucks at battleship and rummy!
Casey growls
Ellie: Ok, (she looks over at Chuck) how was your night little brother?
Chuck looks over at Sarah and smiles: eventful!
Ellie smiles as Sarah blushes.
Casey: Awe. Isn't that sweet, can we go home now?
Ellie: Yes, I just need you two to sign these release forms and you are good to go!
Bailey: Good, (she looks over at Chuck and Sarah) we can continue this discussion at home!
They nod in agreement and Casey and Bailey gather their things and leave. As they get to the apartment Bailey sits on the couch with Sarah while Chuck helps Casey over to his apartment so he can get some rest.
Sarah: maybe Casey is right! Maybe I need to go see a shrink or something?
Bailey: Did you just hear yourself? I would never listen to advice from a man that use to see pink fuzzy bunnies hoping around chasing him in his dreams!
Sarah bust out laughing: Oh that is classic! I am so making fun of him later!
Bailey: in all seriousness Sarah, I think your mind is still in a state of confusion after being torn between orders and your heart! And maybe that confusion has let you tap into some hidden fears that we are trained to block away?
Sarah: like what being buried alive?
Bailey: not necessarily. I think it's more of a psychological fear than a realistic fear or phobia.
Sarah: Ok Opera, what are you talking about?
Bailey: I've known you for a long time and I have never seen you look at anyone like you look at my cousin, and I think you know that and it scares you! I also think that your issues with trust and commitment whether it be job or personal related is also a fear, and we have been trained to block these emotions away but we can only do that for so long!
Maybe now that you are coming to terms with being in love with Chuck and you are learning to trust and open up and commit and it's scaring the crap out of you, but you have friends here and a man that loves you and would do anything for you. As soon as you can process all of that and make peace with it, I don't think your mind will ever be at peace!
Sarah: Wow that was really deep! Now I remember why I skipped psychology class so much!
Bailey: You may think what I say is funny but I am not the one having nightmares!
Just then Chuck walks in the apartment and sits next to Sarah.
Chuck: So what is the next step?
Bailey: Well if Sarah thinks that this Brodi guy is going to kill again, I want you two to try and figure out where he is going to burry his next victim!
Sarah: and how are we suppose to do that? There are hundreds of cemeteries around LA!
Bailey: That is where Chuck comes in!
Chuck: ME?
Bailey: Yes you, take Sarah up stairs and I want you to help her concentrate and focus on her first dream in the cemetery and see if you can recognize a name or landmarks, maybe that will help?
Chuck: Then what?
Sarah: Then I am going to put his ass in a coffin!
Chuck: Ok, now I am going to have nightmares!
Bailey: You big baby! Now go upstairs and get to work, we only have a few hours to figure this out! (Chuck and Sarah get up to go upstairs.) And by work I don't mean getting freaky! Sarah doesn't need anymore hickies on her neck Chuck!!
Chucks eyes get really big and Sarah grabs at her neck where Chuck was kissing her. She heads over to a mirror. "I don't have a..." She stops talking after she sees the love bruise that Chuck left on her lower neckline!
Sarah: CHUCK!!
Chuck: Hey, I have bruises from you throwing me into the wall and…
Bailey: Hey, I don't want to hear this conversation, go to work!! Oh and Sarah!
Sarah: Yes!
Bailey: When you face your fear, most of the time you will discover that it was not really such a big threat after all. We all need some form of deeply rooted, powerful motivation -- it empowers us to overcome obstacles so we can live our dreams.
Sarah: Nice one, where did you get that, off the back of a special K box?
Bailey: No psychology class!
Chuck: oohh I have a psychology quote! Confucius say: "man who stand on toilet is high on pot!" (Chuck and Sarah start to laugh as Chuck mocks his cousin's words of wisdom."
Bailey: Ok you two, how about this one! Confucius say: "It takes many nails to build a crib! But only one screw to fill it!"
Chuck and Sarah stop laughing as they think about what Bailey just said!
Sarah: yah, I am going to get to work now!
Bailey: That sounds like a good idea! (She lies down on the couch to rest as chuck and Sarah head upstairs!)
Sarah's room
Sarah: Ok, how do we do this?
Chuck: You're asking me?
Sarah: Yes, Chuck you're the one that can memorize data off a picture, tell me what I need to be looking for?
Chuck: Sarah this is different, I don't know if I can hel…. (he stops talking as he looks into a worried Sarah's eyes) Ok! Ok, umm let's try something! Lay down on the bed and get comfortable.
Sarah: Chuck I don't think now is the time for that?
Chuck: (smiles at her) I know it was good, but I think I can restrain myself till later tonight!
Sarah: who said you were staying over tonight?
Chuck: I did!
They share a wicked looking smile while Chuck closes the curtains and makes the room completely dark. After turning off all the lights and shutting the door he climbs into bed next to Sarah in a similar position they were this morning.
Chuck: Ok, now I want you to relax and try and concentrate on your first dream in the cemetery!
Sarah: This is stupid, I feel like I am waiting for Freddy Kruger to pop out and slash us open!
Chuck: Hey, I don't need any nightmare's ok, and if you have a better idea then lets hear it! (Sarah is quiet) Ok then, we will do it my way, now concentrate!
Sarah: I can't concentrate like this! (she goes to get up from the bed!)
Chuck: wait Sarah I have another idea!
Sarah lies back down on the bed: what is your plan?
Chuck: close your eyes!
Sarah: chuck?
Chuck: just trust me!
Sarah: fine!
Sarah closes her eyes and chuck lies on top of her and runs his hands down her arms then joining his hands with hers. Sarah's heart starts to race as she feels chucks lips kissing her neck.
Sarah: chuck...as much as I want to, I really don't think now is the time!
Chuck: sshh, just keep your eyes close and relax your mind!
Sarah: oh I am definitely relaxed!
Chuck moves his lips up Sarah's neck and takes her arms and holds them behind her head! Sarah still with her eyes closed is looking very relaxed and is filled with anticipation. Chuck moves away from her neck and begins to kiss her intensely on the lips. Sarah is so overwhelmed that she didn't hear chuck reach into the draw next to her bed. He continues to kiss her and hold her arms behind her head with one hand. Chuck stops kissing her and she opens her eyes as she hears a clicking noise behind her head!
Sarah: what was that?
Chuck moves off the bed very quickly before Sarah realizes what he did!
Sarah: CHUCK, You handcuffed me to the bed?? This is your brilliant idea??
Chuck: Yep, now you have no choice but to sit here and concentrate!
Sarah: you are dead when I get out of here!
Chuck: I will be down stairs, let me know when you figured something out!
Sarah: Chuck, get your ass back here and get these off of me!!
Chuck doesn't respond he just walks out the room and shuts the door and heads downstairs and sits next to Bailey on the couch.
Sarah moves around in the bed trying to free herself from the handcuffs and the head board, but no luck.
Sarah screams: CHUCK, BAILEY!!
Bailey looks over at Chuck. "im glad I put those sound proof windows in!!"
Chuck looks surprised and laughs in agreement.
Bailey: you know she is going to kick your ass when we have to let her go?
Chuck: yah I was hoping you would do that since your injured, she might take it easy on you!
They look at each other and say in unison: no she won't!!
Bailey: so cousin, was it everything you dreamed it would be?
Chuck blushes at the question: No, it was so much better!
Bailey: good, I told you don't count her out just yet!
Chuck: yes, you are wise beyond your years!
Bailey: I know this! (she smiles as she lays her head back on a pillow) she is very fragile right now, and if you hurt her I will kill you!
Chuck: you sound like a parent!
Bailey: I am, and you two are my babies that I have to protect!
The camera pans out of the living room and zooms in on Sarah handcuffed to the bed.
The room is completely dark and silent. All she could think about was how she was going to kill chuck for leaving her like this! It would have been different if he would have stayed and continued doing what he was doing but after seeing that wasn't his true intention for handcuffing her it was a bit of a disappointment! It might have been fun an interesting! She takes a deep breath and lets it out while closing her eyes, the weight of her eye lids are heavy and she cannot open them back up. She is a bit unsure with what is happening and she finds herself thinking about being attacked in her room. She sees brodi mitchell laying her on the floor then passing out, a minute later she sees she is in a dark space but is moving, she thinks she is in the back of a car. Suddenly the car stops and brodi gets out and opens up the trunk, it is nearly sunset and all around is just a patch of green earth filled with headstones. The cemetery was not to far from the freeway, she could hear the traffic in the background. There were no trees, just a high fence with a cast iron gate for an entrance and a sign out in the front, she tries to focus on the name but she can't make it out, she focus really hard then the next thing she knows she is awake back in her bed.
Sarah: EVERGREEN!! Evergreen cemetery!!
Chuck and bailey run upstairs to Sarah's room.
Bailey sits next to Sarah and tries to calm her down.
Sarah: he will be there at sunset at Evergreen cemetery!
Bailey looks at chuck
Chuck: I know where that is, it 10 minutes from here!
Bailey: ok chuck, go get the car ready while I calm her down a bit more.
Chuck: no, im not leaving her like this!
Bailey: CHUCK! Do you want me to let her go now so she can hurt you?
Chuck: I'll go get the car ready!
Bailey: good idea!
Chuck leaves and Bailey finds the keys to the cuffs.
Bailey: now don't kill me when I let you go!
Sarah: No, I'm going to kill him! I can't believe he tricked me like that!
Bailey: I'm surprised he had the balls to do it, and it sure doesn't look like he had to try hard to get you in this position?
She says mockingly!
Sarah: (rubs her wrist as bailey removes the cuffs) it was just so wrong and...
Bailey: and smart!
Sarah sighs: if I didn't love him so much I would kill him!
Bailey: well go kill the bad guy first then you can worry about payback!
Sarah: you're not coming?
Bailey: does it look like I am in any condition to run after a murderer? I might as well just fall in the empty grave!
Sarah laughs: ok I am going.
Bailey: be careful!
Sarah goes to walk out the door. "Yes mother!" She leaves and gets in the car with a nervous Chuck.
Sarah: you are in such deep shi...!
Chuck cut her off: Hey!! Let's go get the bad guy and then we can worry about what I will be in!
He smiles a big smile and had a look on his face that looked like hey was praying she still had a sense of humor and won't leave him out at the cemetery!
As they speed off Casey comes in the apartment and sits in baileys recliner while she is on the couch.
Casey: what did I miss?
Bailey: Chuck handcuffed Sarah to the bed so she couldn't go anywhere and concentrate on finding out the information they needed!
Casey has an impressed look on his face: she is going to burry him out there at the cemetery!
Bailey: yah I know. They sit in the silence and think about what they just said.
Bailey: do you want to go for a drive?
Casey: that sounds like a good idea!
Bailey: cool, I will get my rifle!
Chuck looks up in the sky and sees the sun begin to fade into the horizon as they pull up to the cemetery gate. The looks around and don't see a living sole.
Chuck: maybe we're early?
Sarah: I don't think so! Chuck wait in the car while I go look around.
Chuck: NO!
Sarah: Chuck, if you don't get your butt in that car I will put you in a grave myself!
Chuck isn't happy but complies with Sarah's demand. He watches her enter the gate with gun drawn and sneaking around between the older tombs. Chuck looks over to the back end of the cemetery and sees what looks to be a car bumper. He gets out of the car and goes after Sarah who was heading in a different direction. He sneaks up right behind her frightening her which causes her to turn and point her gun at chuck.
Chuck: wow, don't shoot, don't shoot its me it's me
Sarah: I thought I told you to..
Chuck: stay in the car, I know but there is a car parked over there n the other side of the cemetery.
As Sarah looks over and sees the bumper she tells chuck to stay behind her. They make there way over to the car and see there is a body in the trunk but brodi is nowhere to be found, Sarah looks around while chuck checks on the body in the trunk, he checks their neck for a pulse.
Chuck: Sarah they are alive!
Sarah: call for an ambulance!
Chuck: I have no signal! He walks over by a fresh dug grave trying to get a signal when brodi mitchell comes out from behind the headstone with a shovel in hand!
Sarah: Chuck! Watch out!!
Brodi swings the shovel hitting chuck in the back of the head knocking him unconscious into the grave!
Sarah is distracted by chuck falling, doesn't see brodi approach her until he is right there. She raises her gun to shoot but he knocks the gun out of the hand before she can pull the trigger. Sarah jumps into a defensive position and begins to block brodi's swings. Brodi's swings became faster with more force, Sarah blocks but loses her balance a little and brodi sweeps Sarah's feet out from under her knocking her to the ground.
Brodi pulls the shovel back, preparing to swing it like a baseball bat at Sarah's head.
Brodi: I hope you're ready to join your friend!
As he brings his arm down you hear a shot knocking the shovel out of his hands, followed by another shot that hits brodi right in the center of his forehead causing him to fall back into the grave!
Sarah turns and looks in the direction of the shots and sees bailey at the gate entrance about 500yds away.
Casey: why couldn't I shoot?
Bailey: because it's my rifle and I have seen your long range rifle scores and I am totally the better shot!
Casey: growls at the fact that she was right, and he had to miss out on the gun play!
They walk over to where Sarah is.
Bailey: you ok?
Sarah: yah, ill live!
Casey: where's chuck?
Just then you hear a scream coming from the grave!
AAAAHHHHHHHHHH!! There is a guy down here with a third eye!! Get me out of here!!
They pull chuck out of the grave when the police and ambulance arrive.
Bailey: perfect timing as always! (she looks over at Casey) let's go sugar bunny take me home!
Casey: ill take you somewhere!
Bailey: what was that?
Casey: nothing.
Bailey: that's what I though .
Later at the apartment everyone is winding down from the weeks events.
Bailey: if things are always this interesting around here I think I might need a bigger gun!
Casey: so walker explain to me how you were able to concentrate enough to remember your dream?
Sarah gives him a scowling look as he starts to laugh.
Sarah: that reminds me, I have something for you Casey! (she goes upstairs and grabs Casey's present and heads back down stairs.) Happy Easter Casey!
She hands him a big pink bunny rabbit wearing clover leaf boxer shorts! The expression on Casey's face was a priceless one of embarrassment and horrified!
Bailey and Sarah are rolling on the floor laughing when chuck walks in.
Chuck: nice rabbit Casey, looks like the one off the strawberry milk commercials!
Casey: shut up bartowski before I end you!
Chuck laughs and looks over at Sarah. Can I talk to you upstairs?
Sarah nods and they head to her room. Sarah sits down on the bed and chuck sits next to her.
Chuck: these past few days have been rather emotional on all of us and I just wanted to say I'm sorry for handcuffing you and leaving you in a vulnerable position like I did.
Sarah: its ok chuck, I must admit I have pulled the same prank on men when I was trying to get information out of them so I guess karma caught up to me!
Chuck: yah I really don't want to know about the other men! (they laugh) I got you something.
Chuck hands her a bag with tissue paper in it. When Sarah pulls out the gift, she begins to laugh.
Sarah: fuzzy cuffs?
Chuck has a mischievous smile on his face: yah fuzzy so they won't hurt and they are easy to get out of!
Sarah gives him a kiss on the lips, can I try them on you?
Chuck isn't quite sure how to respond but Sarah jumps him and kisses his lips while she pulls his arms behind his head. She looks up and gives him a few more soft kisses before you hear a click,click,click.
Sarah smiles as she sits up and looks at chuck.
Chuck: hey these are not the fuzzy ones!!
Sarah gets off of him and walks out the door. "I know!!"
We end with chuck trying to get out of being handcuffed to the bed yelling, "Sarah!! This isn't funny! Bailey, come on I'm your cousin! Casey, Casey come on buddy show some support! Anyone, a little help!" camera pans out and fades to black.
