The Return

XXX

Chuck sits there not knowing what just happened to him. He never experienced that kind of sensation as his brain somehow went it overdrive for a brief moment and then gone. The images he just saw seriously freaked him out and the cause of it all was just by simply looking at the seemingly not so happy dark suited individual. An individual currently standing just behind Dr. Vale who is still talking with Manoosh.

"Go make the preparations." he said handing over a device to Manoosh. "Install the cipher and the men will be there in less than an hour." firmly stated Dr. Vale.

"Okay doc." he replied holding the cipher in his right hand. He turns around facing Chuck and Karl giving a head nod their way. "Sorry fellas but I have to leave. Important business to attend to." he said with a grin.

"See ya Noosh." replied Karl giving a quickly salute. As he watches Manoosh, Dr. Vale, and the dark suited individual leave he turns back around grabbing a handful of the remaining nacho sampler on the table. After scarfing it down and taking a swig of water to wash it down with he glances over a Chuck. "He's still a douche." he said.

"Yeah." It's the only response Chuck gives to his gamer buddy.

A look of concern appears on Karl's face as he turn to see Chuck sitting there expressing a state of absolute confusion as he picks up the controller that he set on the floor. "You okay buddy?" questioned Karl. "It looks like you've seen a ghost or something." he added.

"I think I just did." replied Chuck in total disbelief.

Karl is absolutely confused at Chuck's answer causing him to reach over and pick up his water in order to smell it. "Did you add vodka in here?" he joking said. He looks to Chuck who is not laughing at all and that concerns him. "Dude, you're kind of scaring right now. What's going on?" he inquired.

'The guy is supposed to be presumed dead." he stated out loud with uncertainty for Karl to hear. Chuck shakes his head as he tries to figure out what is going on because he can't quite seem to grasp the images he saw concerning the man in the dark suit. "He can't be alive."

"Who can't be alive." Karl quickly replied. He slides over with a concerned look on his face in order to find out what he's even talking about. "You're not making any sense Chuck."

"The guy…" he said pointing to doorway where the man in question was standing. "…the guy's name is Captain James Garrett and he was presumed dead but he's not."

The answer causes Karl to turn his head to the doorway and then back to Chuck with a look of disbelief. "What are you even talking about? Even better question how did you even know his name Chuck?" questioned Karl once again.

Chuck turns his head to face Karl directly looking him straight in the eyes. "I don't know…" he said shaking his head. "…I just do. "He doesn't know why but he has a bad feeling in the pit of his stomach about this and something tells him he has to do something. "I'm going to go after Manoosh." he said getting heading to the doorway.

"You're doing what!?" replied Karl shooting up from his seat. "Chuck, what is going on?" he emphatically asked.

"I have no idea but I know its bad. My spy senses are tingling." spitted out Chuck.

"You're crazy man." he responded. Karl doesn't know what has gotten into Chuck so he attempts to calm him down in his own way. "Just come back, sit down, and we'll play another game of Call of Duty. I'll let you finish the rest of the nacho sampler how about it?"

"No…" he stated moving towards his friend stopping in front of the couch. "…I can't." It's at that point, Chuck takes out his wallet and rifles through frantically searching for something. He inevitably finds and hands it over to Karl. "Call her."

Karl look at the number with confusion. "Call who?"

"Sarah, I mean Agent Walker." he quickly replied. "Tell her what I told you." he added running out the doorway.

"Chuck!" hollered Karl. He immediately shakes his head as he stares at the phone number he's holding in his hand.

As Karl tries to figure out what he's going to do next, Casey and Sarah exit a local restaurant coming up empty once again. They head down the sidewalk passing a few people along the way when the sound of a cell phone goes off. The two agents immediately grab their cell phones to find that its Sarah's leading her to exude a bright smile on her face.

"Hey Chuck…"

Sarah doesn't even finish her sentence as Karl cuts in. "Agent Walker? Agent Sarah Walker?" he quickly said.

"Who is this?" she inquired as her eyes furrow. She glances over at her partner who senses something is up.

"This is Karl and Chuck told me to call you." he stated.

"Is he all right?" inquired Sarah.

"To be perfectly honest I have no idea. He said he saw a guy who was presumed dead if that makes any sense to you." Karl said in disbelief.

Sarah immediately covers up the phone and turn to Casey. "I think Chuck flashed."

A smirk appears on the veteran government agents face. "At least we know the intersect still works in that head of his." grunted Casey.

The blonde agent resumes the phone call she's having with Karl. "Don't worry about it Karl…"

"I'm sorry Agent Walker but I am worried. You see he and I were playing a game of Call of Duty with another friend of ours Manoosh…"

Upon hearing his name, Sarah's eyes widen. "Did you just say Manoosh? Is your friend's name Manoosh Depak?" she emphatically asked as she's locked eye to eye with Casey.

"Yeah, how did you know…"

Sarah immediately hangs ups and he doesn't have to say a word to Casey as the two of them quickly head to his Crown Vic. As they do, Sarah dials a number informing Bryce to head to the facility where Chuck is because Manoosh Depak is there and quite possibly the organization that wants the intersect in their possession as well.

Chuck didn't have any idea what he was doing but he knew he had to do something since he's a spy after all. Granted, he's a analyst and he quite possibly swore an oath to fight for the greater good in some capacity. As he's searching for Manoosh practically in the dark of night, he thinks to himself what he's doing is either extremely brave on his part or just completely stupid and at this point he's considering the latter.

He would most certainly feel different if he had daylight to work with because every other person out and about in the dark sort of looks the same. At one point, after heading out the door, he thought he spotted him and ran up to grab him by the shoulder but found he caught up to the wrong person nearly getting his butt kicked. He quickly apologized for his mistake.

In the past 4 days, he has been able to get a lay of the land in a manner of speaking but in his frantic state of mind all that he thought he knew tended to fly out the window. He can feel his heart beating faster, his pulse racing, breathing becoming more erratic, and when it comes to his adrenaline it's essentially coursing through his veins because of the intensity of the situation.

He didn't know why but Chuck had this feeling he has headed straight into danger before rather than away from it being an analyst and all. As much as he felt scared going in not knowing what was going to happen to him he somehow knew things would turn out for the best, especially since he told Karl to inform Sarah about the images that he saw. If he didn't inform her then he would be royally screwed.

It didn't take long for him to find himself on the stone cobble path where he and Dr. Burke walked on. It looked completely different at night than in the daytime because of the lack of light that is provided. The flower bushes on either side of the wooden fences not only looked, but felt considerably creepy as they ominously swayed back and forth in the night breeze within the darkness.

Speaking of the darkness, it didn't help his situation any as he strains his eyes to somehow evolve into alien type being with the capabilities of seeing in the dark. Unfortunately, that wasn't the case at all as it just made his head hurt but he continues his effort in searching for his friend who he suspects has gotten way over his head with some pretty unsavory people who are up to no good.

In his mind, Dr. Victor Vale can be added to the list of unsavory people as well. The minute he met Dr. Burke's colleague, he wasn't really greeted with open arms and yes he made a joke at his expense but the way he laughed told him that maybe he's part of a diabolical plot to take over the world. If he agreed with Manoosh on one thing it would be that Dr. Vale is complete and total douche who lacks a personality but that's just one man's opinion.

At this point, Chuck finds himself near the meditation area and he knows this because he nearly fell in the pond. It would have not been a pleasant situation to be searching in the dark for someone soaking wet and besides in order to effectively follow someone you have to remain quiet instead squeaking and squishing around inevitably giving away your position, which was told to him by Karl since he was an agent with effective agent skills.

As he continues on his search, he can't help but reflect back on the time in the cafeteria when he and Karl first met Manoosh. When he informed his two gamers buddies that he's helping Dr. Vale with a research project that could not only be monumental but very lucrative as well that should have sent his proverbial spy senses a tingling but at the time they didn't go off.

For whatever reason they suddenly went off and in a very weird way he thinks to himself. His thoughts are momentarily set aside when he finds himself in front of the cafeteria and as he briefly stands there he can still smell the scent of steak wafting in the air. He wouldn't be able to enjoy the smell for long when out of nowhere Karl appears causing Chuck to nearly scream out loud but restrains himself from doing so.

"Don't do that! You almost gave me a heart attack!" he quietly hollered at him. "What are you doing here?" he asked looking around for any sign of Manoosh.

"Sorry buddy." he quietly whispered back. "Even though I don't know what's going on, I'm here to help." replied Karl.

"Great, we'll both end up doing something really stupid then." he quickly spitted out. Chuck peers out from the corner of the cafeteria and not only sees the lighted basketball court just down the hill but what looks to be Manoosh walking through it and then immediately turns left. It's definitely him because he recognizes the clothes he wore earlier when they were playing Call of Duty. "There he is." he said pointing down the hill.

The two men head down the hill making sure to not make any kind of noise whatsoever. They keep in the shadows discreetly following Manoosh as he heads towards what seems to be a large storage facility courted off by a metal gate of some sort. Chuck and Karl wait as he passes through waiting for a few seconds as he enters the building. When he does, the two make their move passing through the gate and then cautiously head towards the building door.

As they both cautiously approach the door, Chuck reaches for it but is suddenly stopped by Karl. "I have a bad feeling about this Chuck." he said with hesitancy in his voice. "Maybe we should have stayed in the recreation room where its safe and waited for your teammate Sarah to arrive."

The second Karl said that Chuck somehow knew that he's been told that many times before but shakes it off as he reaches for the door handle. "It's too late now buddy." he replied carefully opening the door. The man who is slowly regaining bits and pieces of memory pokes his head through the door to quickly scan the area inside. He sees the area is clear and then glances back at Karl. "Let's go." added Chuck as the two of them disappear into the building.

It's about 10 p.m. when Sarah, Casey, Bryce and Cassidy pull up to the facility practically at the same time. As they all meet up with their weapons drawn, Sarah looks at her partner. "Do we have an exact location on Chuck?" she quickly spitted out.

Casey takes out a small device from his pocket and looks at the screen. "Yeah." he grunted. "It's a good thing I placed that tracking chip in his watch when I did before he woke up in the hospital."

"What are we waiting for then." said Cassidy. "Let's go find him." she stated heading out but is stopped by her younger sister who grabs her left arm.

"No Cass…" she responded shaking her head. "…you're staying in the car." added Sarah pointing being her.

Casey and Bryce stand there for a moment watching the interaction going on between the two sisters as Cassidy has a response for her younger sister. "No way." responded Cassidy. "You may be Sarah Walker C.I.A. Agent, but I'm still your older sister. I'm coming whether you like it or not."

There is a brief pause as Sarah stares at her older sister. "Fine." she emphatically stated. Sarah then turns her attention towards Bryce as responds to Cassidy. "Stay with Bryce and don't to get her killed." she said staring directly at him.

"I won't." he firmly stated.

"Let's move out then." ordered Casey as he pulls back the handle to his weapon.

As the team moves out to find Chuck's exact location, he and Karl find themselves at the bottom of the stairs and in a semi lit corridor. The two men continue to cautiously head down to the end where it breaks to the left leading Chuck to once again peer in to see a bright light shining out of a doorway. He motions for Karl to head out as they both head towards an open door.

Upon reaching it, they peer inside to see a large white room and just off to the left is Manoosh installing a device into an even bigger device with a white cube in it. Chuck motions for Karl to stay there as he heads in first in order to talk to their friend. He takes a quick breath and then heads in making sure not to making any kind of noise in case he has a weapon on his person. The last thing he wants is to get shot.

"Moonash." he nervously said.

The young man spins around with a surprised look on his face as he sees Chuck standing there. "What are you doing here Chuck? You're not supposed to be here." he quickly stated.

"Maybe I should ask you the same question." responded Chuck. "What's going on buddy?"

"Listen…" said Manoosh grabbing Chuck by the arm directing him towards the door. "…you better leave. Get out now." he pleaded.

As he says that, Karl makes his presence known as he steps through the door. "Not until you answer Chuck's question man. What is going on?" questioned Karl.

Manoosh shakes his head as he now has a problem on his hands with Chuck and Karl being in the room. He knows that at any moment, Dr. Vale and several individuals will be making their way here. "All I'm going to say is that Dr. Vale and I were hired by some deep dark organization to build an intersect. These guys are scary dudes."

"A what?" replied Karl quirking his right brow.

Chuck glances over at a very confused Karl and as equally as confused as he is he tries to figure this whole thing out. "I get it. You want a big pay day but something tells me these guys are going to hurt you or possibly worse kill you man." he quickly said. "I say we destroy this…" said Chuck looking at what seems to be a hand print scanner device behind him. "…whatever this is. You said it yourself. Dr. Vale is a douche and you're a smart kid who can do much better than all this." he added looking around the white room. "I can talk with my teammates Agent Walker and Agent Casey and see if you can be put into protective custody while they figure out the next move."

"We've seen the way he treats you dude." added Karl. "He has no respect for you at all man." he said placing his right on Manoosh's left shoulder.

Manoosh contemplates what the two of them are saying. He then nods his head in acknowledgement. "You right. He is not just a douche but a royal douche and I'm smarter than him. He should be working for me." he said. "You know I built another device without his knowledge just to stick it to him." he stated taking it out of his pocket and showing it the two men.

"What is it?" asked Karl.

"It's device that lets out a high energy power surge that will destroy what I built." he said handing it over to Chuck for him to look at.

"We still have time to do the right thing." said Chuck gripping the device in his hand. "I'll handle this while you get Manoosh out of there." he stated looking at Karl.

"Come on Manoosh." said Karl as he guides him to and then out the chamber door.

After a few moments, Karl and Manoosh are about to head out of the warehouse door and as they do they suddenly see Dr. Vale and a group of individuals behind the gate. Its at that particular point, all hell breaks loose as a barrage of gunfire is directed their way immediately alerting Casey, Sarah, Bryce, and Cassidy as the hear the gunfire in the distance as well.

A firefight ensues between the dark suited individuals and the good guys who have taken cover. They are pinned down just outside of the gate and are unable to get in. From what Sarah and Casey can gather there are at least 2 or 3 them of them that have taken position blocking their path leading the two of the them to take an alternate route. That route is sneaking to the left side of the warehouse jumping the gate in order to get in through the door.

"Walker we can't go through the front." he said.

"Well then, we just have to go over the side then." she quickly replied.

Sarah's partner nods in agreement. "Bryce!" hollered Casey.

Bryce, who is behind a cement column with Cassidy right next to him, responds to the NSA agent. "Yeah!" he hollered back.

"Cover us!" he barked.

"You got it!" Bryce readies himself as he glances back at Cassidy. He gives a nod to her as she hunkers down for what is about to happen. "Go!" he yelled out as he relentlessly returns fire to the assailants firing at them leading Casey and Sarah scrambling for the alternate route avoiding getting hit in the process. Bryce manages to take down at least 1 of the 3 individuals firing at them.

It takes some doing but there are able to make it as they climb and jump the gate. The two agents disappear into the warehouse leaving Bryce and Cassidy there all by their lonesome. Bryce continues to return fire to the point where he runs out of ammo causing him to change clips but as he does Cassidy is suddenly grabbed from behind. He immediately aims his weapon at the man currently holding her hostage with a gun pointing at her head.

"Let her go." demanded Bryce.

Cassidy tries to stay calm as Bryce and the man stand off with one another with her being the human shield. "I'm afraid not because as you see I have the advantage…" the man stated. "…in more way than one."

As he says that, Bryce hears the sound of a gun handle being pulled back behind him. He stands there for a moment glancing over his right shoulder to see another dark suited individual with his weapon to his back. He automatically drops his gun and then looks directly at Cassidy. "Sorry Cass. I guess I wasn't able to keep my promise to Sarah to protect you." he said.

The older Wexler sister quickly glances at the man holding her as a bargaining chip and then turns her attention back to Bryce who nods at her. She then sees the fingers on his left hand bend down signaling to her be ready to move. When his middle finger goes down Cassidy leans her head forward and then rears back giving a hard head butt to the face of the man who was forcefully holding her. This leaves him not only momentarily disoriented but she is able to get out of the way dropping to the ground.

At the same time that happens, Bryce spins around to his left hooking his right arm around the other dark suited individual's right arm taking control of the weapon he has in his hand. In doing so, he fires several shots towards the man several feet in front of him dropping him in an instant. He then gives two quick left back elbows to the face, breaks his right arm, and then swing him over on to the ground where he points the gun that he has control of shooting him in the temple, which all happens in one fell swoop.

Bryce quickly goes over to check on Cassidy's condition kneeling besides her. "You okay?" he asked check her over to see if they're any injuries she may have suffered.

"I'm fine." she said looking at both men down on the ground and then at Bryce. She expresses a grin as he looks at him. "Thanks."

He responds with a grin of his own as he helps her up to her feet. "No problem." he replied. "Now let's go help save your future brother-in-law."

As Bryce and Cassidy head out to join Casey and Sarah in the warehouse, Chuck has sealed himself in the chamber with a badly wounded Karl after hearing the gunfire in the corridor. Karl lean against the wall next to the door not looking good at all. Beforehand he stumbled into the chamber informing Chuck that Manoosh escaped in the midst of the gunfire aimed directly at both them.

Chuck sees Karl wincing in pain as he covers his bloody hand over his gunshot wound. He reaches up to where Chuck grabs his hand holding and looks him directly in the eyes. "Stay with me man!" Chuck frantically said towards his friend.

"I'm not going to make it." he struggled to say back wincing in pain again. "Finish the job."

"You are going to make it!" he quickly spitted out. "Don't you die on me!"

"Hey, at least I was able to go out in the line of duty." he said continuing grimacing in pain. Karl leans over wincing in pain and then falls back against the wall. "Take care of your…"

Karl doesn't finish what he was going to say as he takes one last breath as the life fades away. A distraught Chuck takes a moment to mourn for his friend letting go of his hand and then closes his eyes. He then grips the power surge device in his left hand, gets up, and rushes over to the hand print scanner where he sees the following 5 words on the screen: Do you wish to activate?

He looks at the power device, then at the hand print scanner, and finally the fallen body of his friend near the door. He has two option but one important decision to make.

XXX

Chuck places his right palm flat on the screen and upon doing so the row of lights go off one by one as he reads that the intersect has been activated on the screen down in front of him. It takes a few moments until it is activated to where the room goes completely dark. There is a brief pause and then an assortment of images fill the entire room leaving Chuck standing there as his eyes continuously flutter soaking in all the information.

In a matter of seconds the uploading is complete leading all the lights to turn back on. Its at this point, a considerably disoriented Chuck falls forward onto the hand-print scanner. He grabs the sides to keep himself from falling to the floor and while doing so struggles to breathe. It's brief but after a while he is able to with ease. After regaining his focus that was momentarily lost, he reaches over to put in the power surge mechanism into the device he just used.

Once placed in, he begins to not only hear it activate but sees it working as well. When he glances at the computer screen he sees a red warning message and then the words power surge afterwards. He stumbles back a bit from the hand-print scanner to see a surge of blue electricity running through the entire chamber leading the device and possibly the chamber itself to completely shut down.

As Chuck looks over his handiwork, the chamber door opens and he sees the man who was presumed dead Captain James Garrett step in with his weapon drawn followed closely by Dr. Vale who immediately heads to the hand-print scanner.

"What did you do?" Garrett asked looking directly at Chuck with his weapon aimed at him. Chuck doesn't say anything leaving him to ask one more time stepping closer to him weapon aimed at his face. "What did you do?" he emphatically stated in anger.

"I destroyed it." he breathed out.

Upon saying that, Casey, Sarah, Bryce, and Cassidy are unfortunately in their custody and escorted in with restraints. Sarah sees the dead body of a civilian laying next to the door but doesn't know who it is. Her eyes immediately focus on Chuck standing a few feet away from her but her focus on him is suddenly interrupted when she hears Garrett's voice.

"For that you'll die last." Garrett said. He then looks over at Dr. Vale who is standing in front of the hand-print scanner. "Status?" he added with authority.

"There's nothing left." Dr. Vale responded.

"So you lose." grunted Casey glancing at Dr. Vale and then turns his attention to Garrett.

Garrett, though defeated at the moment, expresses a smug look on his face as he responds to not only Casey but the rest of the team as well. "You should know this. No one stops us. No one ever has." he responded with hint of a sinister smile.

"Who are you?" Sarah's question is a mixture of awe and disbelief.

"We are The Ring, but more importantly we're spies like you Agent Walker. The best." Garrett said with smile crossing his face. "Yes, we know who you all are and I'm sorry to say you won't live long enough to stop us." he said raising his gun and pointed it squarely between Sarah's eyes.

In that instant, Chuck suddenly feels a sensation which is considered to be both familiar and disconcertingly different, in a truly nauseating kind of way. Some blocked-off part of his brain is feeding his conscious mind data. A flooding rush of sensations which is less random but harder to process than his earlier flashes. Despite his very recent promise to himself to not let flashes show physically, the impact of the new flash was like a boxer's punch. He couldn't stop the brief period of disorientation which buckled his knees.

One of the men forming a ring of guns around him noticed the slight change. Though he wasn't the only one to notice, he was the first to speak. "Sir, you should look at this." The ring agent said.

Sarah, more intimately familiar with Chuck's mannerisms, recognized the symptoms immediately even though they were subtly different. "Chuck…" she stated out loud that is clearly and audibly heard throughout the room. "…did you just flash?" Sarah's voice is filled with emotions with concern over his current condition.

Everyone takes a quick breath while the enemy leader finished his walk back to the men surrounding Chuck. As he looks at him, he knows what everybody in the else room knows.

"He uploaded it." Garrett said.

Casey captured the moment as only he could as he utters only two words. "Chuck me."

Sarah, Casey, Bryce, and Cassidy can only stand back and watch as Garrett tells his men to eliminate him. As Garrett turns, Chuck disarms the men forming an armed circle around him including Garrett himself. An all out battle ensues with Chuck doing flips and among other things against at least 5 guys and from Sarah's point of view he's holding his own taking out one Ring henchmen after another.

In a matter of seconds all are down with the exception of Garrett who is the last man standing as he goes toe to toe with Chuck. After defending himself from a flurry of attacks, he responds with several of his own to the point where a hard fist to the chest stuns Garrett. This gives Chuck the opportunity to go in for the kill by giving a hard forward side kick to his chest causing him to fly back hitting hard against the wall inevitably knocking him out in the process.

When the dust settles Chuck is the last man standing leaving not only himself, but also his teammates considerably stunned to where they are just left speechless at what they just saw. Dr. Vale uses the opportunity to make his escape but Casey grabs his and gives him a head butt leaving him to join the rest of his associates who are laying on the floor. Its at this point, Chuck looks at his own handiwork in total disbelief.

As he does, Sarah calls out his name. "Chuck?"

"Sarah…" he said a bit freaked out. "…I know Kung Fu."

Its close to midnight as Chuck, Sarah, Casey, Cassidy, and Bryce emerge from the large warehouse. As they walk out, a flurry of agents rush in securing the facility and taking into custody Garrett, his men, and Dr. Vale. After taking a bit of a breather, Sarah checks to see if Chuck is okay after all that is happened tonight not just mentally, but physically as well.

"How are you Chuck?" she asked with concern.

"I'm actually doing fine all things considering." he responded looking at the body of Karl being stretcher out in a body bag. Chuck shakes his head as he looks back at the warehouse and then at Sarah. "Karl died in the line of duty just like my dad."

Sarah's eyes not only widen upon hearing that, but the rest of the team's eyes widen as well. Sarah puts her right on Chuck's shoulder and looks up at him in order to ask him a question. "Chuck, do you know your father's name?"

"Of course. His name is Abraham Bartowski but his spy name was…" Chuck doesn't even finish the sentence when he realizes he starting to remember again. "…I remember. He died at the hands of Marcus Stefano" he happily stated. A mountain of emotions comes over Chuck as he slowly recall certain memories. "I also remember how we first met at the Buy More." he replied turning around with excitement throwing his hands in the air.

A very wide smile appears on Sarah's face as she turns to her older sister Cassidy who is brimming with joy as well. Casey and Bryce, though he's glad to be back to his old self, think they should go after Manoosh because he wasn't accounted for in the building. As Chuck turns around, he is immediately moves towards Sarah picking her up for a hug. When he sets her down, tears are forming in Sarah's eyes as she stares up at his brown eyes.

"It's good to have you back Chuck." she retorted looking into his eyes smiling at him.

"Its good to be back." replied Chuck looking into her eyes returning the smile. "You know what I owe my recovery to one person and I want to tell her because I've fallen for her."

"So tell her." she asked with a single tear falling down her right cheek.

"I can't."

"Why not?" she inquired shaking her head still sporting a wide smile.

"Leslie doesn't get back till Monday." he said.

Chuck continues to smile as he walks past a stunned Sarah towards Casey, Bryce, and Cassidy who are equally as stunned. However, they force a smile on their faces as they talk with him. For Sarah, she finally has her Chuck back but not the one she's expecting causing her breathing to become erratic to the point where she look as if she can't breathe. As she stands with Cassidy at her side, one thought crosses her mind…Dr. Leslie Burke is a dead woman.
