Chapter 5: falling from grace.

Loaded up and ready to taxi to the runway the jets engines started up, with a brief hum before ignition the 2 rolls Royce jet spin fans roared to life as the pilot disengaged the brake on the wheels and started to taxi to the end of run way ready for take-off,

"check airspace ready for take-off we will need to head out south east to get out of the zone and get ourselves on correct course back to the U.S." the pilot spoke to his first officer

The first officer done his checks on the on-board radar checking for any incoming planes in their area, as there was no air traffic control they were relying on their instruments to get them off the ground and on course, the 2 agents sat staring at the Sargent no moving their eyes away from his gaze back at them as if they were about to say something or better still do something.

The engines gave a full roar as they went to full power and the jet rolled down the runway to lift speed and she took off en-route to Langley it would be a long flight so the Sargent decided to go to sleep to get some rest it had been a long few days and this incident of being arrested didn't do him any good at all.

6 hours into the flight the Sargent woke up and gave himself a brief stretch to try and waken himself up a bit, the 2 agents sat staring at the Sargent no moving their eyes away from his gaze back at them as if they were about to say something or better still do something

"What the fuck are you looking at there moron hmm! You got something you want to say to me there pretty boy a bet that suit won't look so fucking nice on you when I break your dam nose and you cover yourself in blood now will it hmm!" the Sargent said to one of the agents

As they continued to stare at him no flinching movements from either of them it was like they were machines simply programmed to sit there and stare and not move or look away just simply stare at one thing.

"You know you can't scare us there Sargent! you can make all the daft half ass threats all you want, we are not your enemy we are simply taking you to meet someone, a person who wishes to have a few words with you, now you can make it harder on yourself by making those threats we can gag you and blindfold you just to shut you up not that it would make much difference cause you would still try to make as much noise as you can just to annoy us but that won't be of any use to us now would it?" one of the agents said.

"Who wants to talk with me, I'm just a solider sent to do a job ok nothing more!" the sargent replied back to one of the agents still staring them out trying to make them look away from him as if it was some kind of game to him.

"ahh but that is where you are wrong there Sargent you see we know about you past or some of it should I say, does the 2007 shut down of the London exchange mean anything to you or even how about the 2009 crash of the new York power grid hmm! Just a few from your years with a computer in front of you, we have a detailed file on what you have been doing there Sargent" agent Simmons replied back as he chucked a brown file onto the table in front of the sargent

"Ahh right got ya now there pal but just one file! Hell if anything you got the short hand of that draft ledger bud, if you got one file on me it means you know nothing about me, HA! One file honestly, I bet the majority of that thing is redacted and those are the only two incidents you know about from that piece of paper, I may have a past with that but I've changed my way and stopped that a while ago and plus who wants to speak with me?"

As the Sargent stopped talking one of the agents phone rang, lifting it out of his pocket the agent answered his phone

"hello Simmons here … yes ma'am … yes of course …two 9mm on myself and agent Reid … just what he had on him … side arm, assault rifle and sniper rifle but that was left on the chopper … I don't think that is a good idea … yes ma'am right away we will divert and head there right away …full access, but of course … ok I'll get the terminal set up for direct link …roger that we will await further instructions Simmons out"

Agent Simmons put his phone away and went to the back of the plane and brought out a dell laptop with wireless connector attacked to the laptop and set it on the table in front of the Sargent

"We need you to hack into the nearby security camera in Burbank LA and give us a frame by frame fast path to view on the security incident happening there please Sargent" agent Simmons asked the Sargent

"Why should I, is this some kind of trick, what is going on"

"There is a hostage situation going on at one of our bases, formally used by one of our deep cover teams that was recently disbanded, the base is under a Burbank buy more and the hostage situation is going on inside the shop we believe they are trying to gain access to the base and the weaponry and tech that is down there, currently we are about an hour away and we needs eyes on the ground, local police and swat have the area cordoned off, so can you do it for us"

"Yea fine but I'll need my hands freed, don't look like I got a choice in the matter now do I"

Agent Simmons undone the cuffs that had the Sergeants hands bound and he got to work, typing away like a man possessed he watched every piece of information that came up on the computer bypassing the security barriers and rewriting the firewalls to give him full access to the security cameras that were nearby and inside the buy more, there they could see exactly what was happening. There stood 8 gunmen with automatic rifles standing around the store with their hostages lying face down around the shop floor.

"alright I have you full access to the areas camera system you can see what is happening there now, personally I don't see why you had me do this when you could have just got one of your own to do the same dam thing and plus if it's your own base why the hell haven't you stormed in and took these assholes out already you the CIA for god sake" the Sargent said with a pissed off tone in his voice

The 3 of them continued to watch what was happening on the screen

"We wanted you do it because we were ordered to get you to hack that system to give us full access to that shop, and yes you're right our tech guys could have done it but not that fast, you really are the raptor aint you, fast paced and direct to the point of getting things done huh? And to think she was looking for you all this time my friend, you will be put to good work when she gets a hold of you"

The jet entered LA airspace and headed to LAX for landing and unload of their precious cargo so he could be finally picked up and dealt with on the ground

Meanwhile near Burbank …

"When that jet touches down I want him off that jet and reroute to the buy more were sending him in with a delta unit I want those terrorists terminated the details of what's in that base cannot be seen by anyone outside of team bartowski do I make myself clear"

"Of course general as you wish"

…

Chuck and Sarah pulled back from their kiss slowly, the tension and passion was there in that single kiss chuck was hoping that all would be ok that he would have brought back Sarah's memories and all would be fine again with them, that thy could go off into the sunset and live happily ever after but this wasn't some kind of cartoon where the good guy gets what he wants things in the real world worked differently that's why chuck was praying in his head that this worked

"Chuck … "

"Yea Sarah, did it work, what do you remember?"

"I ... I… I'm sorry I still don't remember, everything in my head is a blur I know it's in their I just need time for it to come back to me, but I know one thing for sure, that kiss was all I needed to know that I want to know everything about us about our life together and where it will take us, I may not remember how I came to be the way I am with you but I'm dam sure I want to remember it all in my own way"

Chuck looked on at his wife with happiness and also sadness for the woman he had come to love, honour and respect was gone but willing to come back fighting with the same spirit that had brought the two of the so close to where they were before Quinn had destroyed everything so dear to both of them

"I'm glad you want that Sarah I really I am and I promise I'll do everything in my power to get your memories back or as close as so I can have you back the way you where so we can move on from this as if it never happened" chuck said with a tear rolling down his cheek.

The pair of them got up off the sand and started to walk back to the parking lot where their cars were parked, chuck reached for his wife's and she gladly accepted him and held his hand just as tight as he held hers, the sun in the background was going down bringing an end to another day in Burbank.
