Phrase of the day: "Move Forward". I'm not good with dialogues on a written story. But there is no harm in trying but I hope that you will understand bits and pieces of it. Again, NBC owns Chuck . Thank God, Zach will be now in Fox. (:
Confusing Answer
They never taught you how to deal love in the Farm, let alone a loss of whose more worth than your own life. And like Sarah Walker who used to be the girlfriend, she will go through lengths to look for all the answers about the group or man who killed Chuck. Two days and still there is nothing she could find out. Two days and she feels hardly normal at all but for the life of her she knew she was never normal. Chuck made her normal, turned her into a real girl and even if she could settle the score to whoever took his life, she will always be but a cold-hearted spy that she was without him.
Hours passed and it is beginning to frustrate her. No, she can't give up hope, she can't give up on him now because this is the only thing she could lastly do for him. For the seventh time she decided to read again his basic info, agent profile and his regular mission reports from the day he became the Intersect up to his last mission. And just as she was scrolling the details, it didn't occur to her that Chuck was never been disclosed as the Intersect. There was no report of him being the Human Intersect but only it was directly stated that he was a spy from 2007-2010 & for 2012 alone and he had been part of the Intersect Project. She dismissed the idea knowing the agency may have wanted to look it that way for confidentiality. But why would the agency hide such thing if Chuck is already dead. And as far as she can remember, it was never a secret that the agency pushed through with rebuilding the Intersect even when they were out of the spy life. She's a spy, no, she is the ultimate spy and she can detect that there is seriously something that the agency is concealing.
She scanned the mission reports and noted that Chuck's last project was called "Operation Beacon". And a sudden familiarity about the name came across her as this was the operation that Heather Chandler worked back with Alexei Volkoff. Operation Beacon is an arms pipeline and how in the world would the agency be involved in such project unless there is more to the operation than what it was. She tried to check the details but it seems that the data was encrypted requiring a pass code before anyone can get access into. Of course this is Chuck's and there could be one pass code that he will always use to let her access the files so she typed 4052010. The date that they officially became a couple. "Real couple" she stressed. She hit 'enter' and there she saw everything of what she was looking for and was baffled to discover about something she have never expected.
"Operation Beacon" continued even after Alexei Volkoff went off grid with her daughter and was never seen from then on. With little much of what the Intersect has, Chuck was forced to identify and track down the group or man who continued the said operation which eventually led him trapped into the building packed with detonated bombs that ended his life. Her curiosity fueled on when she discovered that "Operation Beacon" began even before Alexiei Volkoff became who he was because it was Hartley Winterbottom (the scientist) who originally started the operation. And to make matters more interesting; Hartley was still Agent X during that time and very much part of the CIA. So a lingering question feels her thoughts.
If Hartley was still in the CIA then this operation could be headed under the CIA's wing unless Hartley is working as double agent but to whom and for whom?
She searched more and learned otherwise that Hartley only worked with one person and that is with Stephen J. Bartowski.
If Stephen Bartowski was the only man he get to worked with then "operation beacon" isn't supposed to the operation as it is because there can only be one project that this two worked with and that is The Intersect Project which makes Operation Beacon a cover up and if Operation Beacon is The Intersect Project which went on until Chuck, then Chuck died under his own mission or worst under the CIA's own project. And while her heart starts to beat fast as to all the information she has gathered, she made one bitter conclusion which partly has a question. "The CIA killed Chuck…but why?"
There could only be one person where she can get her answers and that person better not lie to her because for all that she has done for the CIA, she deserves more than being rewarded this way.
He was expecting her presence the moment he knew Sarah is back in Burbank. The General had never liked his idea and he knew that what happened will lead her immediately to his office front door ascertaining whether he'll stand by his promise.
It's been 4 months since she last saw her after what they agreed upon on and as he sees The General came into his office, he smiles at the thought that some things never change as she went straight telling him the news and he replied with an audible voice of "I know. I keep track about her so I know".
"I knew you would figure it out yourself. She is looking for you and our sources are still not sure whether her memories are back but the point is, she is looking for you." The General proceeded on, "But that is not the only reason I came here for."
"I know." Chuck interrupted her. " You don't have to tell me. Like I said, I will stay. I made a commitment to the agency and I intend to keep it". He ended looking away at her.
The General nodded and continued. "It's good to know that you are keeping your word Agent Bartowski but I'd hate to admit that I'm still not in 100% into your decision Chuck." She answered in a deep sigh and started to walk out of his office when she remembers to ask him one thing.
"She is going to come to me eventually to find out what happened and I just liked to ask if you still have the same plan as you wished?" The General asked hoping she never has to face Sarah when time comes.
"I still do and thank you Dianne". Chuck replied with a warm smile.
Sarah with no doubt was in a state of confusion. She was more confused now than having before confused when Chuck told them their story on the beach. But her confusion and all the questions hanging will definitely be answered as she stands now in front of The General's desk. She doesn't have the strength to hide her disappointment over the matter and politeness before The General is the least she could think of.
"I need answers! I'm not going out here without getting them! Sarah blurted out in anger.
"I take it you have your memories back, Agent Walker or rather Sarah Bartowski".
The General stressed that last name with a left eyebrow raised while keeping that professional tone. She had seen Sarah before when Chuck was kidnapped by The Belgian and that part was definitely not she would want to see again.
"I'm sorry to tell you that you have to get out. If you want to find the answer then it's not here Sarah. The answer you are looking for is out there". The General continued directing her right arm into the door.
"So you want to tell me that the answer is out there when the evidence points that the very agency where I gave my life all this time was the very reason why my husband was blasted off?" She shot back with her arms crossed on her chest unable to believe that The General can't seem to get her point.
"Like I said, I don't have the answer and neither does the agency. I can't tell you anything not because I got nothing to say but because I have no right to tell you." The General added while thinking that this is the proper time of giving Sarah what she came for.
"What do you mean?" Sarah asked still completely loss as to what the General is trying to point out.
The General lifted herself from where she is sitting and walked closer to Sarah, handing over a silver piece of small metal, she replied. "If you want an answer then it's locked away from here and obviously you need this to unlock the answer you have been searching for". And with that, The General went back to her chair leaving Sarah all the more confused.
I'm confused too as to where this story is going but I'd like to get your reactions/reviews on this chapter… Feel free to correct me because nobody learns without failing at something. Thank you for reading.
