Disclaimer: I guess this does not need to be said, but I, nor do any of the contributing authors (to my knowledge), own Chuck. And, also, this was not edited...
"I'm not afraid of you," spat the last guy.
"Really?" asked Bryce, a smug look on his face. "Because I think you should be. We hold your life in our hands."
"That's what you think," the suspect smirked. I'm already dead... I prefer a quick shot in the head to a painful death at the hands of my boss. Go ahead, shoot me please, spare me the trouble.
The three looked to each other and Bryce continued, "You can work with us, you have no need to worry, just help us and we'll help you, how does that sound?"
The guy kept staring at the door for a few moments and then said, looking pretty nervous, "Okay, I'll help you. What do you want?"
Sarah promptly answered, "We want to take the whole operation down".
Carina continued, "Everything, from top to bottom."
"You heard the ladies, start spilling it all out" ordered Bryce
The guy went from hostage to team member in a few seconds and started giving them all they needed to get out before the second team showed up. "Let's go, follow me, we need to get out first, they should be here any minute... No time for chat now, I'll tell you everything you want as soon as we're out."
"Let me guess, the guy led the three of you out, and then he gave you intel about their operation?" asked Chuck impatiently.
"Not so fast Chuck," Sarah answered with a smile. She loved it how Chuck could get all excited like a kid about a story she was telling him. One of the many things she loved about him, one of the many things that made her feel warm and comfy in his arms, even when squeezed together in the front seat of a Porsche.
"This is making you very nervous Chucky-boy," Carina smirked, "maybe we shouldn't continue telling you the story, after all you shouldn't be too tensed up when you two reach home…"
Chuck ignored Carina and bugged Sarah for the continuation of the mission-story, he wanted to know exactly what happened to her….not necessarily what happened to her and Bryce…but he was curious…and a bit jealous although they hadn't even reached a time yet when Sarah had opened up to Bryce…
And so Sarah went on with the story…
The man led the three agents out of a backdoor. Bryce and Carina followed him willingly, but Sarah held back. Her guard was up. Something didn't feel right, but she just could not figure out what it was.
Maybe I'm just a bit frazzled, she thought. New partner. Carina. The guy surrendered pretty easily...
And that was when she put it together. She quickly caught up to Carina and Agent Larkin. She forced her way in between the two in order to tell them of her realization but not before Carina made some inappropriate comment.
"Oooohhh, Sarah's in the middle," Carina said. "And as hot as you are, Walker, I'm gonna have to request that you put Bryce in the middle. I think he can take care of both of us, if you get my drift."
"Uh-huh, Carina," Sarah said, although she didn't and neither did she care. "But, guys, I have to tell you something."
"You want a foursome?" Carina said with a mischievous smile. "I don't know where we would find somebody else, but if you want to, I think we could manage."
Bryce smirked. And Sarah could tell that he was holding back laughter. She rolled her eyes at being saddled with two immature agents.
How are we going to get out of here? she asked herself.
Just then, the man came to a stop outside of a warehouse.
"Here we are," he smiled. "We'll be safe here and I can tell you exactly how the business works."
"Go in," Sarah told him, ordering him to go first. "I need to talk to my friends here first. Wait for us inside."
"I don't think that's a good idea," the man hesitated. He knew that Sarah was onto him. "It's better if we all go in together."
"Why?" asked Sarah. "It's supposed to be safe, right?"
"It is," the man replied nervously. "But the people that run the, uh, safe house they don't know you. They know me. We need to go in...together."
"It's not gonna happen," Sarah said. "Now in."
The man held back. Arguing that it would be better if they all entered the warehouse together. Sarah became annoyed and, getting lost in her emotions, fired her gun. The man dropped dead.
"Great, Walker," Carina said, "Now we'll never know what he was going to say."
"He wasn't going to tell us anything," Sarah said. "This is a trap. And if you guys had listened to me before instead of going on about sex, I would have been able to tell you that."
"Trap?" asked Bryce, clearly not buying it. "No. It's perfectly safe. See?"
With that Bryce opened the door and walked into the warehouse. Cautiously and with their guns pulled, Sarah and Carina followed. The building was completely dark. And that didn't calm Sarah's nerves any.
"It's a trap," Sarah whispered fiercely. "I think we should get out of here. Now."
"No," Bryce said, a bit too loudly. "It's completely safe. I've heard that you're a good agent, Sarah, but you just seem scared. Come on. This place is empty. Look around."
"I agree with Bryce," Carina said. "This place is deserted and you killed our only way to get information."
Sarah doubted herself for a minute. Could she have been wrong?
But in all the cases I've read and even the few drug bust missions I've been on, no one has ever surrendered. At least not that willingly. Never, she thought.
At that moment, guns started firing at the three agents. It was too dark for them to see and there was no place to hide without a chance of being killed. The agents started firing blindly into the dark. It was there only defense. While they were shooting, they quickly made their way to the door. Sarah was the first one out. Bryce and Carina quickly followed.
Unfortunately for the team, outside wasn't any better. They were now face to face with the leader of the drug ring.
A/N: Normally, I would have a comment that I thought was clever right here, but it's late and I'm tired. Sorry. I hope you enjoyed this chapter. It's slightly longer than the last. I hope that it was interesting. I shall be updating, relatively, soon. Maybe you can read that chapter too? You will? Great! Now, review please.
Thanks go to the eleven amazing people that helped work on this.
XOXO,

PS. Carrie Underwood received one Grammy nomination tonight! This post is in celebration of that. How does it relate? It doesn't. But since I'm not old enough to drink...
