Sarah was awoken the next morning by a knock on her door, when she went to see who it was no one was there. All that she saw was a white envelope sitting there. When she opened it she saw a note from Chuck.
Sarah:
I need to go out of town for a couple of days will contact you soon, sit tight.
Chuck
Sarah immediately got worried as she wondered why Chuck had to leave so suddenly. She hoped everything was all right. Before she had a chance to worry some more she heard he phone ring, she was hoping it was Chuck but was disappointed to see that it was Casey.
"Hello" said Sarah as she picked up the phone
"Get over here now!" Casey barked
"Casey, what is going on?" Sarah asked
"Walked I do not have time for your questions you need to get over here now" Casey said
Now Sarah was really worried, she quickly showered and got dressed and then made her way to Casey's place. As she was walking through the courtyard she ran into Ellie who looked quite happy.
"Hey Sarah how is going this morning" Ellie asked
"Fine" Sarah replied even though she was not doing well
"Good, I'm sure Chuck told you he going out of town for a few days to visit a sick aunt" Ellie said
"Yeah he did" Sarah asked
"So what bring you here?" Ellie asked
"Oh I needed some help deciding what MP3 player I should buy and John offered to help me out," Sarah said
"Cool, see you later Sarah" Ellie said as she walked back to her apartment
For a moment Sarah let herself believe that Chuck was really visiting a sick aunt but she soon realized that there was no sick aunt. She went to Casey's apartment and knocked on the door. Casey answered with his usual scowl on his face. He motioned her over to the surveillance equipment and began to show her something. It was a video of a car pulling up to Chuck outside the apartment complex four strange men getting out of the car and without any words being said Chuck got into the car as it drove off.
Sarah felt like breaking down and sobbing right then and there but she knew she had to stay professional. Casey was already setting up the videoconference with their superiors; they soon were connected to them.
"We have a problem," Casey stated
"What is it Major Casey?" General Beckman asked
"We seem to have lost the Intersect. he got into a car with four men we can't identify at the moment" Casey said
General Beckman and Director Graham looked at each other for a moment before General Beckman spoke.
"We know" General Beckman stated
Now it was Casey and Sarah's turn to look at each other and they did so with confusion in their eyes.
"How could you know General?" Casey asked
"Major Casey you and Agent Walker need to come to Washington D.C. right away" General Beckman said.
"Yes m'am" Casey responded
"There will be a private plane waiting for you at the John Wayne Airport in four hours please be there then to leave promptly." General Beckman said
Casey and Sarah still had many questions but they knew it would be best to wait until they got to Washington D.C. Casey quickly packed a travel bag and then they drove to Sarah's hotel room so she could pack a travel bag as well. When she was done they made their way to the airport. The six-hour flight to Washington D.C. felt like one of the longest flights of Sarah's life.
Once they got to Washington D.C they headed straight to CIA headquarters where General Beckman and Director Graham would be waiting. Casey and Sarah entered the room to see General Beckman and Director Graham waiting with a third man neither of them had ever seen before. He was about six feet in height, looked to be in good shape, had broad shoulders, and the most striking eyes. He turned to face Casey and Sarah.
"Ah Major Casey and Agent Walker so nice to meet you at last" the man said
"Who are you" Sarah asked
"Ah where are my manners, mother would be so disappointed, my name is Sam Smith and I am the head of a organization called the Special Operations or Special Ops for short. We do work that is similar to that of the CIA but we take on the most dangerous missions." Smith stated
"What does this have to do with Chuck?" Casey asked
"Agent Bartowski is one of our top agents" Smith replied
Casey and Sarah's jaws hit the floor when they heard this. Chuck an agent but how? He was just a civilian who got the Interest stuck in his head. Smith seemed to sense their questions and continued on with his speech.
"We are always on the lookout for recruits for our agency; we look for the best and brightest. Seventeen years ago we came across a ten year old with a very high IQ. We have schools all over the country administer IQ tests and we take interest in the highest scores. Chuck's score was one of our highest ever. We came to talk to his parents about him under the pretense of being a school for the gifted. They seemed interested and Chuck underwent a series of tests, all which proved he would be a good agent for us. He passed all the tests with flying colors. We then told his parents the truth about who we really are, they were shocked at first but after several long talks with Chuck they all agreed that serving one country is an honor one can't turn down. He was then trained to be as strong physically as he was mentally. While he doesn't look it he is quite strong; that is an advantage he has people see him and assume he is weak. He entered college when he was 15 years old and was done by the time he was 18. Of course he stayed at Stanford as part of his cover. He served from there while keeping up his cover as an agent. During his "senior" year we needed to find a way to him to leave. We used his friend Bryce who was being recruited by the CIA. We had him find out that Chuck was also being recruited and planted the idea in his head that Chuck was too weak. Bryce then had him "kicked out" of Stanford. Chuck then went on to serve many more missions for us he because one of our best agents; him and another agent who combined serve as our best team." Smith said
"Who is this other person?" Casey asked
Smith directed them to video monitor where they say Chuck standing like he was waiting for someone, soon they saw another person approach him; before they could make out who he was they heard Chuck speak.
"Bout time you got here," Chuck said
"Sorry Chuckster your sister can be quite inquisitive sometimes," the person said
Sarah let out a gasp, it was Captain Awesome.
