Carina and Sarah walked into the restaurant, quickly spotting Ron Thomas waiting by the front hostess stand.
"Hi Ron, I brought a friend of mine, I hope you don't mind, she knows of your charity work and was so excited to meet you." Sarah said was a flirtatious smile.
"Oh, I always love more company." Thomas responded, draping his arms around both ladies shoulders.
Carina let out a giggle while Sarah snuggled into his chest.
"Shall we eat darlings?" Thomas offered.
"Of course, anything to get to the end of the night, I heard you always give a goodnight kiss." Carina said seductively, whispering the end in the man's ear.
Ron Thomas could only smile and think of how lucky a guy he was. Walking up to the hostess he quickly followed the woman to their both, the girls hanging off his every word as they small talked to the back of the room.
"Your waiter will be with you shortly to order drinks." The hostess replied before walking away.
Casey and Chuck were monitoring things from the other side of the room, Chuck was already assigned to their table, and Casey was bussing around the section as well. From their position and with their mikes in their ears, Chuck and Casey could hear the entire conversation going on over in the booth. Casey looked sadly over towards Chuck as he started his walk over towards the group, biting the inside of his cheek in anger.
For Sarah and Carina their main job was going to be plant a GPS tracker on Thomas in case everything didn't go perfectly. Other then that, their job was simple, seduce the mark.
"Hi my name is Charles, may I take your drink orders?" Chuck asked, walking up to the booth with pad in hand to write the orders down.
"Why yes, I will have a Manhattan on the rocks, while my two…lovely, lovely dates will have..?" Thomas trailed off, waiting for Sarah and Carina to fill in their orders.
"Red wine." The two both said at the same time, causing them to let out a little giggle.
"Ok, I will be right back with that." Chuck replied, looking sad as he walked away as Sarah traced shapes on Thomas's chest and giggled at a story he was telling.
Chuck walked over to the bar and put the order in, Casey walked up to him to and handed him the GPS tracker he was supposed to hand off to Sarah.
"Just put it under the napkin, facing you so the drink blocks it." Casey said.
"Ok." Chuck replied in a very depressed tone.
"You going to be ok kid?" Casey asked.
"She loves me, I just have to trust her. Watching her do this is just…hard." Chuck explained, before grabbing the tray of drinks and heading back over.
In the booth Carina and Sarah were continuing to let Thomas talk about himself and his company, hoping he would let something slip that would allow them to gather more information on the attack he was planning.
"So Mr. Thomas, do you want kids some day?" Carina suddenly asked, hoping the topic of his fetish would revel something.
"Children? I children very much. I do not know about having my own, I like non related kids better." Thomas trailed off, his eyes glazing over.
Sarah couldn't help but think of how much of a pervert Ron Thomas really was.
"You seem to really be in love with kids, why not your own?" Sarah pushed, her voice and face seeming to show confusion.
"It takes the thrill out of some activities the children and I participate in, and I could never discipline my own children, I can't be mad at my family, so when other kids get a little out of control, or when their parents do something wrong, I find it simpler to handle the situation." Thomas replied cryptically as Chuck placed their drinks down, along with the GPS tracker.
"Would you like more time or are you ready to order?" Chuck asked, deciding to meet Ron Thomas eye to eye for the first time. His face was not very polite nor pleasant, clear hatred swarmed.
"Are you ok son?" Thomas asked.
"Fine sir, why do you ask?" Chuck replied.
"Because you seem to be eyeing my dates and I with quite a hurtful look if I may, not something I think you want to do." Sneered out Thomas.
Sarah pleaded with Chuck to let the topic slide, he just got out of the hospital for goodness sake.
Noticing the plead from Sarah Chuck quickly apologized and offered having a rough night and that he had no issue with the trio. Thomas seemed to buy it, and let the topic slide. He ordered his meal, as Carina and Sarah did the same, and then offered to by Chuck a drink since he was having such a rough night.
"If only I could accept." Chuck said, forcing a smile. "Not allowed to drink of the job though. Thank you for the offer."
"Of course son, anytime." Thomas said, a weird tone coming into his voice.
"Uh thanks." Chuck answered.
"If I may, are you over 18?" Thomas suddenly called, as Chuck walked away.
Chuck was caught off guard, he knew with his shaggy hair he didn't look quite 24, but under 18? That was crazy.
"24 actually." Chuck answered with a raised eyebrow.
Thomas just nodded, but a look of sadness did not go unnoticed by the two female agents. Sarah immediately went pale, this man had a crush on Chuck thinking he was a teenager.
"What more do you have to say about your work." Carina asked suddenly, changing the topic quickly after noticing Sarah's transformation.
Thomas quickly dived back into stories of his charity work, and continued throughout dinner. By the end of the night, both girls were quite disgusted and bored with the man.
Chuck was done his job for night and was hanging around in the surveillance van that everyone was going to meet at by the end of night. He watched as Carina and Sarah wrapped things up following like lap dogs out to Thomas's car.
"I had such a good night, I wish it didn't have to end." Carina seductively said.
"Me too, I know how much fun the three of us could have together." Sarah winked, wrapping and arm around Carina's waist.
Thomas's jaw practically hit the floor at that, giving Sarah and Carina the perfect distraction they needed. Quickly glancing they noticed no one around and both fired a kick to the man's groin.
"You are sick." Carina shouted, Sarah followed up the statement with a roundhouse kick to the man's head knocking him out cold.
"Ugh, that was gross I need a shower." Carina whined.
"Me too." Sarah cried out.
Casey then came out from his hiding place, gun in hand.
"Nice kick Walker." Casey said, tying the man's hands behind his back and motioning for the extraction team to take him.
Back in the van Chuck smiled, his girl had rocked. It was hard to watch, but in the end, the double groin kick was worth all the pain he had to endure.

"Good work team, we now have Thomas in custody, our Intel shows he was alone on this plan to attack the mall so crisis adverted." Beckman declared to the team, obvious joy in her voice. "Now, I believe I ordered you four to go on vacation so when you leave tomorrow, keep Bartowski from flashing dammit!"
"We will do our best ma'am." Casey replied, a smirk on his face at Chuck's obvious discomfort.
"If he does happen to flash, just report it in, unless the nation is at a huge risk and we need the skills of the intersect, we will assign a different team to handle the issue. Understood?" Beckman asked.
"Yes ma'am." Everyone said in unison.
"Ok, now, Bartowski I need you to quit your job today, before you go on vacation. There will be a letter delivered to your home while you are away, it will be from a gaming company saying they want to purchase the game we have designed for you to sell. It will give a reason for you to have the extra cash, and explain for constant travel. You will tell everyone you work for the company while in reality you will be training with everyone to become a better agent. Understood?" Beckman asked.
"Yes ma'am." Chuck replied, a smile on his face at the thought of how proud Ellie was going to be.
"Ok, dismissed." The general announced, the screen going black.
"I get to quit my job." Chuck mumbled, a sort of awe induced tone lacing his voice.
"I am so proud of you." Sarah replied.
"I didn't actually design a game Sarah…what is there to be proud of?" Chuck asked, confused.
"You are giving up so much to help out our country, you are going to train so you can risk your life even more, and now you get to leave the Buy more. You are a hero for all you have done, and finally you are getting some reward for all your hard work. You won't have to work to jobs anymore…just think about it Chuck." Sarah gushed, pulling him into a quick kiss.
"A lot of agents have to keep the appearance of a second job as a cover, they are giving you the cover but allowing you that break you need during the day to train instead of actually working, that's pretty cool." Carina added in.
"It's still a lie." Chuck replied sadly.
"Don't think of it that way. Think of it as protecting your country, and keeping your family safe. Your new job is to train so you can be able to protect yourself, that is something very important. In doing so, the CIA has given you the cover of a game designer so now you can make your sister proud, just like she would be proud if she knew what you were really doing. This is only to keep them safe Chuck, but the pride she will feel for you is the same." Sarah tried to explain.
"So the reasoning behind the pride may be false, but the actually act of being proud of me will be real because she would be now matter if I was becoming an agent, or becoming a game designer?" Chuck clarified.
"Of course." Carina answered, walking up an hugging Chuck.
"You are doing something awesome Chuck, don't try and find the faults, relish in the good." Carina advised.
"So what do you say, ready to quit?" Sarah asked.
"I have been ready for five years." Chuck replied.

The drive to the Buymore was short, but filled with an anxious curly haired man sitting in the passenger's seat. Chuck was excited, he finally going to be able to take on a title he deserved, instead of telling people who was a Nerd Herd associate, he was going to be able to say he designed video games. It was awesome.
Sarah waited outside as Casey and Chuck walked into the Buymore.
"Hey Chuckles." Anna greeted as he walked in.
"Chuck! Man I have been so worried about you, I have missed you buddy." Morgan rambled coming up to join Anna.
"Sorry little buddy, just been busy, we will get together real soon, ok? Right now I have to go talk to Big Mike." Chuck replied, feeling sorry for the lack of time he had spent with Morgan recently.
"Ok, talk to you later man, good to see you walking around again." Morgan said as he waved goodbye.
Chuck smiled, rubbing his should unconsciously. He was out of the sling, much to the dismay of Ellie who wanted him to keep it on, but it was just getting to stiff for his liking immobilized like it was.
"Hey, Big Mike, got a second?" Chuck asked, poking his head into the office.
"Bartowski, you aren't supposed to be in for a couple weeks." Big Mike boomed.
"Well actually, I am not going to becoming in at all. I quit." Chuck replied, feeling a surge of confidence he never had before.
"You what?" Screeched Big Mike. "You can't quit! We need you Bartowski!"
"Sorry Big Mike, but the Buymore just isn't what I am supposed to be doing with my life. I am going to do great things with my life, and quitting is the first step." Chuck declared.
With that, Chuck took his name tag out of his pocket and put in on the desk, Casey came in and did the same with a smug look on his face.
"Both of you?" Big Mike asked.
"Yup, I am with Chuckles over here, I quit." Casey replied, roughly shoving Chuck on his good side, avoiding his shoulder much to Chuck's delight.
"Dammit Bartowski you can't do this!" Big Mike yelled, a vein popping out of his neck.
"I believe I just did, cya." Chuck answered, walking out of the office and out of the Buymore, Big Mike screaming for him to come back.
"How did it feel?" Sarah asked once they got outside.
"Awesome." Chuck answered with a big grin on his face.
"Good, now lets go pack for that vacation!" Sarah replied happily.
