I think most Chucksters hated me for killing Chuck. But ain't over yet. Thank you for the reviews. A little heads up: The end will be a cliffhanger and i still don't know how to put the pieces of my story together. Working with numbers this past few days had drained my brain out. It is one thing to deal with numbers but another to be good with words.

Again, I don't own Chuck.

Buried Deep

He slumped back on the leather seat. He's exhausted to the bones. He's brain has finally got its toll for working three straight days for 15 hours. It was always like this after she left. The Governor may have helped his brain but not his heart and when the two won't coincide, he's brain takes all the strain.

4 months, 2 days, 3 hours and 29 seconds. It's not like he's counting. But he missed her. He misses his Sarah. He checks into his computer. He looks up the updates of her mission details. The last time he'd checked she was in Portugal tracking on an Intel about a certain multi-terrorist group who carries contraband weapons to U.S. She went back to CIA after she walked away. It's the first thing he knew she would do. It's not like she has somewhere else to go to. Well maybe she has. She can go home to him. Because with an open arms and expectant heart he still waits for her. Waiting for her memories to remember him. To remember the past five years.

As he scrolls the mission reports. Day one. Day two. Day three. Day four. And it ends. Something was amiss. She was supposed to be in Portugal for at least seven days or maybe the mission ended early as to say it had been an easy mission for her. Of course she is Sarah Walker. He checked her travel updates as to where she went. Suddenly his heart skipped a beat. As if for the first time in what seemed an endless span time he is eventually seeing what his heart ached for all these months.

Her last purchased ticket was booked to fly in Burbank, California. Is he seeing a miracle unfold? Does she remember everything? Is his Sarah back for him. And with a glow in his eyes he finally felt energized. He felt hope. She is back. Back to home. But her home isn't where she was expecting it to be. And with a defeated sigh he regretted the day he chose to came back in CIA. Now he is stuck. In a mission he never would have wanted but he knew it was the only way he could go through with his life. He didn't want to go back to where he was before Sarah and after Standford. He knew he has to move on for himself and for his her as well. At least for the meantime.

Had it not been for the re-upload of Intersect he will never be where he is right now. Or maybe that is just his second reason for being where he is at the moment. Yes, he let Sarah go but it doesn't mean he can't watch and love her at a distant. He just can't give away five years of their time together just because of some insane rouge spy Quinn stole it from her, from him.

He knew he had to fight for the love of his life even if it means sacrificing his own freedom from CIA. He never would have chosen to comeback but being on the agency is the only way he can be with her, the only way to know she is safe and the only way to keep himself sane. But then the inevitable happened, she remembers him, maybe. He wasn't sure but he couldn't think of any reason why she is back. There has to be an answer for his question but for now he's worry fell on what Sarah has to find out upon returning. That is, if she remembers him.

He wonders how she will take the news of his death. If she remembers him then she will be devastated and there is no way he could just fly back from Washington to California to tell her he is alive. That her Chuck is alive and had been waiting for her all along. For now he has to stay where he is. He has a mission and he needs to finish what he started, after all it was his idea to momentarily bury Chuck Bartowski sixth feet under the ground.

What do you think? See, I didn't kill CHuck. Chapter 3 might take a long while. It's tax season and i still have to deal with pesky clients... LoL..
