A/N: No excuses for the long delay, but without further ado, here is the hastily finished conclusion.

Chuck came to slowly to find that he had a gag in his mouth and was in a dark room. The last thing he remembered was heading for his car when he got knocked on the head from behind and past that he doesn't remember a thing. "What time is it?" he asked himself and looked at his watch, or rather where it should be. His watch was gone. Then it occurred to him that Casey and Sarah wouldn't be able to track him!

*****

"Casey where's Chuck?" Sarah stormed into his apartment, "Check the cameras." Casey walked to the computer without question to scan through the surveillance feeds. "He was supposed to meet me at the beach an hour ago."

"Well he's not showing up at the Buy More our anywhere in the apartments."

"Check the GPS."

"It says he's standing in the Buy More parking lot." He zoomed in on the location and they both paled when they saw the watch laying there next to the Nerd Herder.

"Back it up and see what happened earlier." They rewound the tape until they saw a group of four men with masks on sneak up on Chuck and knock him out. Then they pulled out a little black box and no doubt used it to scan for trackers since it led them to take his watch off. But instead of getting in a car they carried him off out of view of any of their cameras. After searching for any sort of clue as to where they might have gone they came up with nothing.

Then Casey blurted out, "Hold it, I have an idea."

*****

In the Buy More parking lot Casey and Sarah got out of the car and the key to the whole mission jumped out behind them: Boomer. Casey led him over to the watch and let him sniff the ground.

"All right, now find Chuck." With a bark Boomer took off at a quick pace, nose to the ground and led them to an industrial area behind the store. He trotted in a shaky pattern but soon led them to a door and let out another bark. Casey kicked the door in and Sarah took the first shots at the men in the hallway.

*****

Chuck startled at the faint sound of a bark followed by very loud gunshots. Seconds later his door burst open and light poured in and he soon found himself being licked to death by a big slobbery hound. Boomer! How glad he was to see that dog. Sarah untied him and Chuck got to his feet.

"Boomer! You don't know how much I love you." Casey kneeled down to pet him too.

"Good job boy." He whispered, and all three humans plus the new member of the team strode out of the room.
