Chuck vs Christmas Time Horrors

The Buy More, a calm serene place where people of all ages bustled around looking for the right Christmas gifts. Discounts on everything, people working in harmony and effectively. The walls filled to the brim with the newest electronics, food, toys and appliances. Everything was going smoothly, until suddenly someone broke the harmony and peace of the store. Someone zoomed in, leaving dust in flying in his rush. Chuck Bartowski was his name and he was a man on a mission.

Chuck raced into the Buy More, searching for the right gifts for everyone. Zooming around the store, Chuck grabbed a 7G iPhone for Sarah, a 62" plasma screen TV for Ellie, a new MW3 game for Morgan, and got a washer/ dryer set for Devon. He ran to the register to pay for everything before going to the wrapping station to get everything wrapped.

"Will that be all, Chuck?" the person working the register asked.

"Yup, thanks a lot. Christmas is in two days and I need to go hide these presents. The washer, dryer, and TV are going to make it to the apartment on time right?" Chuck asked.

"Of course, you can count on us. We never let a comrade in arms down!" the cashier said as he passed Chuck the wrapped gifts and the tag for the appliances.

"Thanks, gotta go and freshen up my new house! I'll invite everyone for a housewarming party later." Chuck said as he rushed out the door.

At Chuck's new house

Chuck opened the door and walked into his new home. Everything was perfect, a little too perfect and classy. There were two staircases in across from the front door that led upstairs, a crystal chandelier lit up the open space between the front door and the arches that led to the living and dining rooms. There was a sliding panel on the wall next to the staircase that opened up to a cache of weapons. In the living room was filled with the finest furniture in the world. Plush sofas, comfy armchairs, a romantic loveseat and a nice little coffee table. But none of it was really what it seemed to be; the armchair was really a remote control to the missile security of the house, the sofas were sofas with a multitude of weapons under the cushions, the table had a sliding top that opened up to a government issue touchpad computer system, and the loveseat, well it really was a loveseat.

The dining room had a state of the art bar, a new refrigerator, a conventional oven, microwave, stove, sinks, cabinets and a pantry. The pantry had a fake wall and trap door inside it. The wall led to a secure office that was to be used in times of emergency and the trap door led to an underground tunnel system that led out of the house.

Upstairs there were all the bedrooms and the main office that was used to communications. The master bedroom had a California King sized bed and a dresser, even his old Tron poster was on the wall. The bathroom was amazing, complete with a spa, jacuzzi, and shower. Out back there was a 12ft deep pool, a grassy area, a spa area, a grill area, and a covered patio.

Chuck went up the stairs and hid the presents in the master bedroom before heading into the main office for a video conference with General Beckman. Chuck turned on the screen and politely saluted the General and Director.

"General, Director, what is my mission?" Chuck asked as he sat down in front of the screen.

"Agent Bartowski, there has been a report of Fulcrum agents in Sacramento, California and they seem to be planning something. We know that they have the Cipher for the new evolution of the Intersect. We believe that they are trying to create an Intersect that is going to be more powerful than the Intersect 2.0. This could mean trouble and your mission is to retrieve the Cipher at all costs. Your mission starts now. I don't know how long it will take. It may take a day or a week or maybe even a month." General Beckman said.

"But, General, no disrespect and all, Christmas is in two days and I can't miss out on Christmas or Ellie will kill me." Chuck said in complaint.

"Agent Bartowski! This mission is very important and if you don't succeed you may not have a very cheerful Christmas, so I advise you to push Christmas plans to the back of your mind and focus on the mission. Go and assemble your team." General Beckman reprimanded.

"Yes MA'AM!" Chuck said as he saluted before turning off the screen and walking out of the room to get ready for the mission.

Twenty minutes later at Castle

"Everybody gear up! We're going to the capital city for a little hunting expedition!" Chuck yelled as Casey, Sarah and the two elite agents went to the armory.

"So Chuck what guns do you plan to use?" Sarah asked as she grabbed a few rifles and pistols.

"HUH? Oh, just a tranq, killing people is a last resort and I don't need guns to kill people, a pencil will work too. This is going to be a simple mission and I hope that we can get back before Christmas or I'm really dead. Oh by the way, are you going to come to the party? Everyone's invited, of course." Chuck answered.

The team left Castle and drove to the airport before getting on a jet for Sacramento. Not long after landing and a little recon, they found the Fulcrum base.

In Sacramento, Fulcrum Base, Christmas Eve, 8:00 pm

"Okay team, the schematics of the base are pretty simple, two floors. The room that we need to get to is on the second floor in the far right corner. We're going to need someone to clear the first floor. Agents Sigma and X, I'll leave that to you. Casey, Sarah and I will be going straight for the second floor. Casey sweep the floor, Sarah and I will get the Cipher. Understood?" Chuck commanded.

"Understood!" everyone said simultaneously.

"Okay team, MOVE OUT!" Chuck commanded.

Agents Sigma and X swiftly entered the building and started to systematically sweep the first floor. They each took a corridor and with pinpoint accuracy shot everyone that they saw. They drew the attention of all of the guards that were on the first floor.

"All clear, Captain you are clear. Advance at will, sir." Agent Sigma said into a walkie talkie as X took out the last guard on the first floor.

Chuck and the others ran into the building before going up the stairs carefully. Once on the second floor, Casey split up with Chuck and Sarah. Casey went down the halls, shooting at everything and everyone trying to draw as much attention as possible. Almost every guard on the second floor ran toward the commotion that Casey was causing, while Chuck and Sarah quietly slipped down the hallway to the room in question. They stealthily ran down the halls taking out anyone that got in their way. When they got to the room, they broke the keypad off the wall and attached the government issued code breaker to the wiring. After a few minutes the code breaker cracked the code and the door opened. They slipped into the room and were about to start the search for the Cipher when they saw something that took the breath away from them.
