Thank you for all who have added me and have stopped by to read and review. Let me know what you think so far. I own nothing, well the story I guess. Enjoy.

Arriving at the airport to board Sarah got a call. Chuck stopped, as Sarah gave him another cup of coffee to hold. Casey walked back as he loaded their bags.

"Morning General, yes we are at the airport."

"Yes, we can."

"Not that I know of but I can ask him and let you know."

"Ok." As Sarah looked at her phone. "Yes it came through."

"Will do. Yes. Goodbye."

Chuck and Casey looked at Sarah not sure if they wanted to hear, the change of plans. Sarah put her phone in one hand as she grabbed her coffee from Chuck.

Looking up. "Beckman wants us in Prague."

"For what?"

"She found Bill Bergey and Vincent Smith. They stayed back at the training facility after you left and Beckman figures that they maybe ones to talk to on who they think might be behind this take over. Also, she wants us to check out the whereabouts on Alexander Edgar Winterborne who's name came up when she did a search on unaccounted Fulcrum agents. He was part of the CIA's Infectious Disease Force."

"Sarah, I flashed on him yesterday."

"So, he is important."

"What about the others who we think are the part of the 5 Elders."

"Don't know, Casey. There are 10 people that are unaccounted for and what Jill told me yesterday, the names I have and what Jill gave me are on both lists."

"Okay we better board."

Casey entered first as Sarah followed but stopped and turned around as Chuck was at a perfect height for Sarah sneak a kiss. Chuck lingered a little longer, but Sarah didn't mind. Chuck closed the door as they drove down the run way. Chuck sat by the window looking down at his past fading in the distance as his eye caught a glimpse of his present and future. Sarah caught his glance and so desperately wanted to kiss him. Sarah bit the end of her pen, thinking something that got Chuck's attention. He could tell that Sarah was up to something. Sarah leaned forward and saw that Casey was asleep so she got up and headed to the back of the plane. Shutting the curtain behind her she waited. Chuck put down his papers and lap top and tip toed to the back. Not sure why he tip toed but he made to the back as Sarah grabbed him by his jacket and started kissing him. Chuck never objected as he returned her kisses. Sarah knew that the mile-high club wouldn't be expecting any new members today due to the size of the plane and bathroom, she had to settle with just having a little fun. Sarah was getting good at reading Chuck and how far she could take him before things got out of hand and there was no turning back, so she had to pace her self so they didn't go too far, mostly to leave something to look forward to for later. Chuck was lost in her eyes as their kisses were staggered. Chuck folded down a seat and sat down as Sarah straddled facing him. "You need to be careful dear."

"I know, but your making things very difficult."

"I can head back and get back to work."

Chuck held her close. "Not yet."

"Thought so." As they continued to kiss.

The seat belt sign came on as Sarah stood up and quietly sat back down in her chair as Chuck rejoined her as well. Casey woke up and clicked his seat belt.

Finding their hotel, Casey grabbed the keys and walked over to the Chuck and Sarah. "Sorry guys there are only two rooms left."

"Are you sure?"

"Yeah, so one of us has to share with Bartowski and it won't be me."

"Are you sure Casey?"

"Like anything will happen between the two of you."

Chuck gives Casey a dirty look as Sarah is tickled pink inside. 'No more sneaking around.'

"You guys survived Barstow sharing a room, I think that you can survive Prague, again."

Casey gave Sarah the other key and headed to the stairs. The hotel was an old mansion for a former Royal Family and after World War Two, Prague converted a lot of them into lofts or hotels. Casey reached his room and looked down the hall as Chuck and Sarah played it cool as they reached their room.

"Guys we meet for supper around 8?"

"Sure. Sounds good."

Sarah looked at her watch, that gives them pretty much the whole rest of the day.

Sarah unlocked the door and entered as Chuck grabbed their bags and placed them on the bench near the door. Sarah walked over towards the balcony and opened the doors, as fresh air filled her lungs. It was rare that they had so much down time on a mission and it was made sweeter when two strong arms slid around her waist embracing her from behind. Sarah thought to herself this is what Prague was supposed to be like the last time they were here. Holding her hands over his, she embraced his lips as they caressed her bare neck. Staring out the window she was glad that they were not on the same side of the building as Casey. Sarah turned around staring into Chuck's eyes. "So, Mr. Bartowski, what would you like to do?"

"Hmm, not sure, maybe have a nap."

Sarah shook her head.

"Read a book, watch TV."

"No and no."

"Pick up where we left off at 30,000 feet?"

Sarah nodded and gave Chuck a seductive smile. Chuck turned as he took his jacket off and started with his shoes, which always seemed to delay the moment. Reaching for his shirt, Sarah stopped him. Sarah slid her fingers under the hem of his shirt as she pushed and dragged her fingers up his chest, kissing him as he tossed his shirt onto the chair. Reaching for her shirt he slowly unbuttoning each button, placing kisses in their place. Slipping her shirt over her shoulders he kissed each of them then embraced her as he slipped her bra off. Walking back towards the bed, Sarah pulled Chuck on top of her as they laid back on the bed. The next few hours, 30,000 feet had nothing on them.

Chuck laid on his stomach as Sarah laid half of her body over his as she planted short kisses on his back. She knew that he was exhausted and she was surprised as well that she wasn't out for the count. What he did to her would make the average person end up in emergency. But at the same time, he was a gentle as any lover could be. Watching his back rise, with each breath, she wondered what life would have been like if Chuck did leave with her. How far would they have gotten before someone like Casey, came after them. Then for sure they couldn't be together, Chuck would be thrown into a padded cell and Sarah would have been probably reprimanded or worse. Chuck opened his eyes and felt Sarah as he turned inwardly forcing Sarah onto her back as she opened her arms and Chuck settled in her arms, draping his left arms over her breasts.

Looking up. "Hi."

"Hi, to you?"

"You, ok?"

"I'm fine, feel great. You?"

"A bit tired."

"I wonder why?"

"Well, thankyou Ms. Walker, you ain't bad yourself."

"Well thankyou." As she leaned forward to kiss him.

Chuck settled back in her arms as she played with his hair and caressed his face.

Chuck leaned backwards as Sarah didn't like the disruption. Chuck rolled on to his back as he invited Sarah into his arms, grabbing the sheets and covering up. It didn't take long before they fell back to sleep.

Hours later

Chuck got up, and headed to the bathroom, to see the huge soaker tub. He turned the water on hoping to alert one sleeping beauty in the next room. It didn't take long till Sarah was standing at the door wrapped up in a sheet. Chuck had slipped in under the hot water and extended his hand as Sarah reached for it, dropping the sheet and stepping into the tub. Facing Chuck, she settled into the hot but welcoming bubbled fill tub. Lifting her legs and resting them on Chuck's shoulder as his legs were slightly bent.

"Well they don't make tubs for tall people."

"I guess we make due."

Sarah leaned back as Chuck had placed a towel on the edge to rest her head. Chuck ran his hands up and down her legs with his soapy hands, and teasing her each time. Sarah did her share of teasing as well. When Chuck grabbed her wrists, and pull her on top of him. Sarah kneeled placing her legs on either side of his as Chuck grabbed her hips. Sarah lost a few breaths as they became one. As Chuck held on as he leaned back taking Sarah with him. The subtle ministrations increased as Sarah held on tighter and Chuck bent his knees a bit more than they where. Water splashing, Sarah eventually slid down resting in Chucks arms. Caressing his face as she continued to kiss him. Chuck could sense that something wasn't right. Getting up, he gave her some time alone as he ran the hot water. Grabbing a towel, he wrapped it around his waist as he leaned down giving her a kiss.

"You don't have to leave you know."

"I know, see you in a bit."

"Love you."

Chuck came back and gave her another kiss. "Love you too, always."

Chuck slipped his boxers on, and his t-shirt as he propped the pillows in behind him as he turned the tv on. Flipping through the channels, he wished that he had learned German. Sarah had come out and grabbed some items from her bag and slipped back into the bathroom returning, drying her hair with a towel. Grabbing a brush, she sat down near Chuck's feet.

Putting her brush down she crawled up to Chuck and settled in his arms. Looking at the clock they had a few hours before supper. Chuck cuddled but addressed the elephant in the room. "You wanna talk? I can sense that something is wrong."

"I wouldn't say that something is wrong, I feel great but…"

"But."

"Last time we where here, it didn't work out the way I had planned."

"No, it didn't. But why would you want to think about that when it eventually worked out for us."

"I know and I am glad it did."

Chuck sat up slightly forcing Sarah to sit up as well. Chuck turned his upper body to face Sarah as Sarah sat cross legged in front of him.

"Then what is the problem. We're happy, in love, together. So, what is it…."

"Fear?"

"Fear, we should get a medal for conquering fear."

"This job."

Chuck took Sarah's hand in his. "This job, can either make us run from fear or run straight into it crushing it as we go. I can't change the past and my choice to stay in Prague the first time, because that is what I thought you wanted from me."

"That's not what I wanted for you, for us."

"I know that now, but not then. We just back from Barstow and things where going pretty good, then Beckman swooped in and sent me here. With me downloading the last upgrade I felt like the man, the spy you wanted me to be and I would have done anything for you. Even learn to be a spy, no matter what happened to me."

"I love you for that, then and now. Looking back, I know now that you not wanting to go with me, was a blessing in disguise. If we did run, Casey or someone else would have come after us and you would have been sent to a padded cell and me fired or worse."

"You could have visited. You did say once that we didn't need two beds."

Sarah laughed. "You remember that."

"I remember everything that you said."

Chuck played with her fingers. Sarah tilted her head to rest it on her free hand as her elbow pressed into her leg.

"Everything."

"I do have a computer in my head."

Sarah got up on her knees.

"Yes, you do and does it tell you what is going to happen."

"No but I could probably guess."

Sarah leaned forward as she kissed his lips bringing his head closer to hers. Chuck pushed himself up onto his knees as they continued to kiss. Chuck held her in one hand as he fell into the bed. Looking at the clock, he rested his head on her shoulder.

"Why are you stopping?"

"It's almost 8."

Chuck got up and grabbed his jeans as Sarah reached over to the chair and grabbed hers. Chuck finished getting dressed as Sarah slipped her feet into her boots, grabbing the keys, they headed down the hall meeting Casey as he came out of his room.

"Hey, guys you famished."

"Actually yes."

"So, you two not bored with each other?"

Chuck looked at Sarah, and Sarah back to Chuck. "No, it was fine. We both had a nap and watched some tv."

"Resting that brain of yours."

"You can say that."

Next Day

Sarah walked back in with a tray of coffees and croissants and various Danish's as she put the tray down beside Chuck. She kissed him on the cheek as it was another restful night knowing that they were together and safe. Chuck opened his eyes as he sat up giving Sarah a kiss as she passed him a cup. Sarah moved out onto the balcony as Chuck grabbed a hoodie and put it on, glad that he put on his pyjamas on. The slight chill in the air was brisk but the company made up for it.

Chuck finished his Danish then took sip a of coffee. "So, when do we head over to the training center?"

"We need to get in contact with Vincent, but I think we check out the area to see if by chance any of the people on your list were here or are here."

"You think, that there could be a sleeper cell here?"

"Maybe, cause how would this group have the intel on the Intersect, when it was destroyed by you."

"Bryce told me destroy it, but I downloaded it first, so there was no way that it got into someone else's hand before that. When Bryce was taken and I found him, he said that whatever was on this upgrade was much more advance that the previous one."

"But didn't your dad, modify Roark's?"

"Yeah in the end, my dad got it out of my head, so when I downloaded it again it was so advanced that it was able to override what was once there or recouped those previous downloads that eventually made this one more dangerous, to whomever had it?"

Sarah replayed her conversation with Beckman over and over as Chuck continued to talk. Honestly, they didn't know what this upgrade could do and it scared her.

"Do you think your dad, gave Bryce this recent version?"

"I don't know, and if he did, why is he still in hiding."

"Maybe he doesn't know that you downloaded it, maybe he thinks that Bryce actually got it destroy."

"But who sent me the email if it wasn't Bryce and who was the guy who met me at the drive in and dropped off the USB. If it was my dad, not saying that it wasn't but, where is he? And I know that he wouldn't be working alone."

"What do we know about Scott Sener? Was he a student like you or maybe working under your dad? Then they heard that Bryce was your roommate and the son of Orion, they made a plan to get you far away from this whole thing. But in the end…"

"Exactly the place my dad and Bryce didn't want me to be in."

Chuck got up and left Sarah sitting there. She felt sorry for him, three years of his life spent with this gift or burden, or how ever you flipped the coin. Chuck got dressed and sat on the bed looking again at the lists.

Casey knocked on the door as Sarah opened the door. Seeing the look on her face, and seeing Chuck as he entered. "Not a good morning?"

"No." In a quiet voice. "We need to find a way to speed things up. I'm not sure what this up grade can do, and the more we look into this, I think Chuck is worried as well." Casey nodded. "I agree."

Walking more into the room, Chuck finally looked up.

"Morning."

"Morning."

"So, are we ready to go to the training center?"

"Yeah."

Chuck got up and headed to the bathroom as Casey reached for the papers that Chuck was looking at. Sarah stood beside Casey as they looked at the lists. "Impressive."

"Yes, they are, but there is still a lot of unanswered questions. Chuck and I were talking and we tossed about the idea that Scott Sener might have been a student of Orion's and maybe when they heard that Bryce was roommates with Chuck it started spiralling this whole thing."

"If Scott and Bryce knew each other why was it Bryce that stole the files in the first place and not Scott. If he was working with Orion, where did they go and why didn't Busgang have that information on him."

Chuck walked back in. "Because he didn't have a chance. He said he knew of my dad, his research, team and his study of possibly creating a human intersect before you guys came in. Knowing that my dad created this, his part was only 1/3 of the actual thing. This key remember was divided into three and Roark's didn't work so that left my dad's and Hartley's. Without the other keys."

"Chuck do you think that that your last upload, was the other 2/3?"

Chuck looked at Sarah. "You think that my dad had 2 of the 3 keys and created the dynamics of the intersect."

"It's possible?"

"So, maybe Roark's idea is still being twerked by whoever is trying to take over. And they needed the last piece, but you have it now, somewhere in that head of yours and this whole wild goose chase is for us to prevent that."

"We know that, Casey, but."

"We need the who, and the why?"

Casey drove up to the facility as Chuck looked around and all the painful training resurfaced. Sarah walked up to the desk and showed her badge, as Casey and Chuck passed theirs on. "We would like to meet with Vincent Smith or Bill Bergey please."

"You have an appointment."

"No, we are from the States."

"One, moment please." Sarah watched the clerk relay the info over the phone, as he read each of their names. Handing back their badges, they remained waiting in the main area. 20 minutes later, a man walked towards them and Chuck instantly flashed. 'Vincent Smith, CIA operative and senior training officer for new agents. Trained in combat and negotiation/highest level armory specialist.'

"Chuck did you flash?"

"Uh huh."

"And?"

"We're good."

"Major Casey, Agent Walker and Charles Carmichael. It is a pleasure, good to see you Charles." Shaking hands with the team.

"Nice to meet you as well."

"Pleasure."

"Hey."

"So General Beckman did let me know that you would be arriving, but she didn't get into the reason why?"

"Do, you have time."

"Yes, let me show you around. Charles could possibly do this as well as I can."

Chuck barely smiled as he followed the three into the main training area. Every cubicle contained some sort of training tool, or simulator device to train the agents. Entering one room then another they arrived at his office. Chuck gave the chair to Sarah as he and Casey leaned against the filing cabinet.

"So, what can I do for you?"

"We are looking a list of names that, we believe are responsible for a possible threat to the CIA as a whole. Its recruits, philosophy and future."

"That's a big threat."

"We were wondering if you recognized any of these names."

Chuck passed the list to Sarah as Sarah passed it onto Vincent. "Elita Natalija, Loray Omer, Brandon Stacey, Javier Diaz, Daniel Shaw, Howard Busgang, Galina Stacey, Nicholas Quinn, John Kemp, Scott Sener, Sky Stolnitz, Jeremey Guarisco. That's a list."

Vincent sat up. Grabbing a pen. "Can I write on this?"

Chuck looked at him. "Definitely."

"Okay, Busgang, is deceased. Poor thing was shot by Fulcrum. Nicholas Quinn was or still is an independent consultant that the CIA used years back, but things turned sour and he vanished. Stacey and Kemp, not sure. Let me do a quick search."

The team looked at each other, at least there was some progress. Maybe the rest would turn out to be as promising as the first few names.

"Omer, Natalija, Stacey were suspected Fulcrum agents but their where about are unknown, Diaz and Shaw let me see."

Vincent typed away but stopped as his phone rang. "Smith here."

"Yes, I'll be right there."

"Excuse me, duty calls. I'll be right back."

Vincent left the room as Chuck slipped into his chair. "Chuck what are you doing?"

"Not sure."

Casey stood by the door. Then nodded. "I was watching him type and he missed a few keys, so I was curious to see if what he was telling us was actually the truth."

"And?"

"Looking at his history, he never searched for the names Stacey or Kemp. Chuck quickly searched for the name Shaw and Diaz and Kemp. Chuck flashed as their faces came on the screen. "Chuck times' up." Chuck wasn't able to get a picture of the three in time.

Chuck nodded as he erased his search and deleted his key strokes. Getting up, he put the chair back to as close as it was, then returned to where he was before. Casey moved away from the door as Vincent came back in.

"I stopped by Bergey's office and he wasn't in but I left him a note to come and see me. As for Scott Sener, he wasn't an active agent, more of a researcher or analyst that worked for the same group as Busgang and a man named Orion. Whom we still haven't been able to find."

The three was surprised that Orion was still missing. "Mr. Smith."

"Vincent please."

"Vincent, when I was here the last time, and was training, was there any other agents or a group of 10 or so that you know of, that were trained here prior to me arriving, around 2003, 2004?"

"2003, 2004?"

"Yes."

"We keep a list of agents in training that we send back to DC and then they pass them onto the farm or other agencies for further training. There was a small group that arrived but only three of them stayed back in DC."

"And they are?"

"Don't know, their names seem to be gone?"

"Gone?"

"Yeah."

Chuck stood up and ran his fingers through his hair. "Do you happen to have the list of those who did come here for some training.?"

"Stolnitz, Roberts, Larkin, Guarisco, Brandon and Galina Stacey, who were the first married couple to go through training. Not sure how that marriage turned out and finally Bill Bergey, who stayed here to be an instructor."

Chuck flashed on all the names each having a connection with the Elders.

"Roberts location unknown and Larkin was killed. Stolnitz and Guarisco are still active within the CIA and The Stacey's location unknown."

"These unknown locations could mean."

"Either they are undercover or haven't checked in for whatever reason."

"Is there a way to find out where they are?"

"Maybe General Beckman and maybe she doesn't have the means to access that information."

Sarah got up. "Thank you so much, for your help, please let Mr. Bergey know that we were here and that we would like to talk to him. Here is my number and Major Casey's, we will be around for a few days."

"My pleasure. I hope that I was some help."

"Yes, and thank you."

The team headed to the door. Chuck over heard someone down the hall that he recognized and he flashed on their voice. Chuck ran after the person running outside with Sarah and Casey following him. "What is it Chuck?"

Chuck looks around to see where the man went. Sarah follows him as Casey runs into the parking lot looking for him as well. Comes back. "Nothing it's like he just vanished."
"Chuck what did you hear?"
"I recognized a voice that I heard back the first time I was here. Someone who was heard but not seen."
"It's usually the other way around."
"I guess we aren't that lucky."
"Did you get a name?"
"No, but I'm sure that I know that voice."
Sarah walked back in to see if she could check the surveillance feed to see if they could identify the man. As Casey and Chuck talked outside.
"What did your flash tell you?"
"Someone definitely with some pull."
"If you heard his voice again, do you think you could id him." Chuck nodded yes.
Chuck and Casey walked back inside as Sarah came towards them. "They are letting us see the footage."
Chuck followed Sarah into the security room as Sarah had them replay the last hour. The cameras picked up the three of them earlier heading towards Vincent's office then him coming out. They saw that he had stopped by an office but when Chuck asked them to enhance the feed they saw that it wasn't Bergey's office. Waiting to see who came out, and if Chuck could id the mysterious man. Chuck had them pause the screen as a man fitting his description stepped out. Chuck looked at the image then asked if they could enhance the image. The three looked at the man as the security officer let them know who he was. His name is Nicholas Quinn. All personal have to log or sign in.
Chuck flashed. It was one of the people that they had been looking for but he wondered how he happened to be there at the exact time that they were. Only Beckman knew that they were there and Vincent didn't know till we arrived. So, there had to be someone back in DC hat knew. Chuck re-laid the info to Sarah and Casey as Sarah got a photo of the man before they left looking at it as they walked out. "So, this is Nicholas Quinn."
"Looks like it."
"So why is he here, a little coincidental I say. Why would a CIA informant from DC want to talk to a man we happened to come and see on the same day?"
"Like you said someone in DC found out."
"Only Beckman knew we were here?"
"Well no, the flight crew."
Sarah got on the phone to inform Beckman who instantly went to see where the leak began.

Back at the hotel, Sarah let Chuck sleep as she conversed with Casey. Casey tapped into the CCTV feeds to see if they could get a location on the Quinn. In less than an hour they had him at the airport. Sarah walked back to their room and sat down beside Chuck as Chuck woke up. "Sorry I didn't want to wake you."
"That's ok any word?"
"Casey found him at the airport."
"But how long was he here?"
Sarah texted Casey to see when he arrived. Casey returned her text. "Beckman called and said sometime yesterday he left DC. About an hour after she told us to head to Prague. "
"Well that proves that someone from the inside is the leak and where we need to check out next. "
"Does Beckman want us back."
Sarah texted Casey.
"Only if we think we are done here."
"Are we done here?"
Chuck sat up. "I don't know."
"Well, we have confirmation that the names Jill gave us panned out and that three or four of them, never arrived so that proves that there was another group of agents during that time. We have proof that Quinn was here obviously looking for something."
"Maybe we should get Casey to go back there and do some snooping around?"
"That's a great idea. Vincent doesn't know that we know that when he stepped out he was taking to Quinn."
"So we go back to see if we can talk to Bergey maybe he will be there this time while Casey goes and does what Casey does best."

Chuck looked at Sarah but didn't want to burden her with another issue and that was why was Quinn in Prague exactly at the same time that Chuck was there to train after the last upload?
Sarah got up as Chuck followed her till she turned around and gave him a kiss.

Next Day
Back at the training center. Sarah and Chuck waited to see Bergey as Casey did some digging. Chuck caught up to him just before he slipped through the doors. "Hey, Casey. Was thinking about Quinn and why would he be here exactly at the same time we were months ago and again yesterday. Someone had to let inform him both times."

"So, that is where we focus. Who is the person behind this, who is sending Fulcrum agents out here and who is behind the items sent to you? Chuck! You can't trust anyone, even if they pop up in that head of yours. I just have a fear that not all those files are gone, and remember you did download some Fulcrum files."

Chuck remembered. "So why can't I flash on any Fulcrum agents?"

"Don't know, but I'm not saying that one time you won't."

Casey slipped through the doors as Chuck returned to Sarah. Sarah smiled as she saw him, then sat down waiting to see Bergey.

Half hour later, HR personal came out to inform Chuck and Sarah that Bergey wasn't coming into work today. When Casey returned the team decided to go to his house. As they approach his drive, police cars were parked outside his house. Casey went to find out as Chuck and Sarah waited by the car. Casey walked back not thrilled. Looking up. "He had been dead for two days."

"Another coincidence?" Chuck looked over to the house then back to Casey and Sarah.
Heading back to the hotel, they wanted to leave but a severe weather system was arriving and all flight were delayed till further notice. So, the team had one more night to go over their findings before they headed back to DC. Finalizing their next move to bring down Quinn and the rest of the names on the list. Maybe knowing about Quinn, they could then take down the rest. But there were still names on the list that they needed more to go on. Javier Diaz, Daniel Shaw and John Kemp, Alex Winterborne. Casey went back to his room as Chuck went back to the lists. Sarah took them from him. "Why?"
"There's nothing more we can do till we get back to the states. Let's order in and just do nothing - just you and me and tomorrow if the weather has improved we will fly back ok?"
Chuck looked at Sarah. "Okay."

"Okay."

Chuck walked to the window as heavy rain pelted the window. Sarah order and they enjoyed their meal. Chuck placed the tray out in the hallway and walked back in. Sarah had changed and got settled to watch some tv. But like Chuck said earlier they couldn't do much without learning German. Chuck reached for his lap top and gave Sarah a choice of what to watch. Since knowing Chuck, he has educated her on pop culture, music and the best movies to watch. Scrolling through what he had, she inquired with every title. After awhile Chuck made it easier for her. "Okay dear, what would you like to see?"
"Adventure, romance, mystery?"
"Yes."
"Yes, to what!"
"All three."
Chuck just smiled and shook his head. Scrolling his movies, she had a choice between Romancing the Stone, Spies like Us, Mulan. "
"So that is what I have."
Sarah looked at the titles. "Well a spy movie is ok but not tonight maybe another night and I'm not a fan of cartoons so Romancing this Stone. "
"Okay, Sarah covered up and snuggled in beside Chuck as they settled in to watch Romancing the Stone.
As the credits scrolled Sarah looked up and kissed Chuck. "Thanks, I think we needed that."
"Well if you like this one we should see Jewel of the Nile."

"You, have it?"

"Not on here, but when we get back. Spyro, red wine, pop corn and a movie."

"Sounds great." Chuck closed his lap top and slid it onto the table then returned. Sarah sat up slightly as she slid her hand on Chucks leg. Caressing his leg, she looked up at him. "Now what?"

"Not sure, this could be our last night here and all."

"Uh huh." As she bit her lip slightly.

"What, would you like to do?"

Sarah sat up on her knees, then straddled Chuck legs as she sat on them just above the knee.

Looking at Chuck. "I want to thank you for the last few days. Barstow, here."

"No need to thank me, I should thank you. For putting up with me. I know that before Barstow, I wasn't your favourite person."

"That's not true."

"Yeah, I know but something is still bothering you and maybe it's the spy in me or in you, but after we came back from working with Carina, you have been, I don't know how to put it. Distant?"

Sarah wasn't surprised that Chuck was so in tuned with her after all that they had been through and even before they first made love. He knew her and it was killing her inside not to be completely open and honest with him, as he was with her. She knew everything about him, but she still left some things out.

"No, your right. But its not you its me."

"I have heard that before. And it usually doesn't end well."

"Chuck, all you need to know is that I love you."

"I love you too."

"Its just the way it has to be. I will always have my fears, and that's me and my job is to protect you. Even more now, than I did before."

"Is there anything that I can do?"

"Be safe, be the Chuck that I fell in love with the first day we met."

"Wait, what?"

Chuck looked at Sarah. "You, me the first day we met."

"Hard to believe, huh."

"Wow, and all those times?"

"Tell me about it."

"You're amazing."

"You're fantastic."

Chuck placed his hand son her face as he kissed her. Whispering. "I promise to stay safe, and I promise not to make you worry about us, well me."

Sarah sat up slightly as Chuck pulled her top over her head as she took his off. Sarah worked his belt as he shimmied out of his jeans and boxers and slid under the covers. Their bodies moved simultaneously, as their love making continued. Lost in each other, Sarah's fears slowly faded away. As Chuck remained on top of her, his touch and hold of her verified that she was safe and that she would be safe as along as they were together. Sarah wrapped her legs around his hips as his body changed slightly wanting to have as much of her as he could. Kissing her body, her face every time his eyes met hers. Chuck slid his hand inside hers and laid them above her head as the evitable had arrived, again this topped the other times and this was one thing Sarah appreciated being with Chuck, and that was he always appreciated her.

SOME WHERE OVER THE PACIFIC

"Quinn here."

"Well, what can you tell me?"

"They were definitely here to see Bergey."

"And."

"He's taken care of and he won't be the one to tell them what our plans are."

"So, this team of Beckman's, where are they at?"

"Well, having Bergey out of the equation, they don't have much to go on. But from what I could find out, Bryce Larkin and Sener are still supplying them with intel."

"Larkin was killed. By one of us."

"I know but, someone, maybe Sener is doing his work for him."

"Your job, when you land is to find Sener and find out what he has been sending this team. Someone downloaded the last upgrade and we know it wasn't Larkin."

"But what if it was Larkin, who downloaded it then he was killed."

"Well, someone will have to pay for that. But Larkin was smart, he always had a back up. He sent it to someone years ago and he gave it to someone again recently."

"What about Orion and Hartley?"

"Hartley, is in a mental hospital, too many attempts at uploading the Intersect and Orion is in the wind since Roark's failed attempt. Busgang is dead. So, we don't have much of anyone that can give us what we want. We need the intersect and we need to move on so that Kemp can move forward."

"But Shaw, someone will start snooping."

"I know, and they already have. I will take care of Beckman and her team. You find those files."
