It was a little past 7pm when they arrived at the MGM.

"Alright, here we go," Casey said, putting the black SUV on park. After handing the keys to the valet, he produced an envelope that contained three laminated passes on lanyards.

"Sarah, you stay with the dork. I'll be doing surveillance from your 6. Chuck, try not to shoot yourself with a gun... Huh?" Casey said sarcastically.

Chuck's head snapped to look at Casey with squinted eyes. He was trying to think of a good comeback but Casey had already slowed down his pace preparing to tail them.

"Ok Chuck, just take your time and get a good look around. As soon as you flash let me know," Sarah said while scanning ahead.

"Sarah, I think I know how this works. I've been the Intersect for awhile, remember?" tapping his forehead with a finger.

Chuck didn't get to walk more than a few steps forward when he flashed.

"Chuck, what is it?"

"M-4 combat assault rifle the standard weapon used by Army units such as the 82nd Airborne Division and special operations units, a shortened barrel and collapsible stock makes it ideal for close quarter marksmanship. Firing a standard 5.56 millimeter round, weighs 5.6 lbs. can be fitted for increased firepower with the PAQ-4 Infrared Sight mounted on the forward rail system and with the M-203 40mm grenade launcher.

And on and on it went. Chuck would take no more than a couple of steps before he would flash again. He tried to divert his gaze by turning away hoping it would help but he was completely surrounded.

Sarah looked around at the people staring and listening in as Chuck recited the information out loud. They all seemed impressed with the extent of Chuck's knowledge on the pieces displayed.

"The Browning Model 1917 Machine Gun is a heavy machine gun used by the United States armed forces in World War I, World War II, Korea, and to a limited extent in Vietnam and by other nations. It was a belt-fed water-cooled machine gun that served alongside the much lighter air-cooled Browning M1919. It was used at the battalion level, and often mounted on vehicles (such as a jeep). There were two main iterations of it; the M1917, which was used in World War I, and the M1917A1 which was used after. The M1917 was used on the ground and some aircraft, and had firing rate of 450 round/min; the M1917A1 had a firing rate of 450 to 600 round/min."

He grabbed his head with both hands. Chuck had never flashed this fast with so many things at once. Sarah, seeing Chuck's grimace, grabbed a hold of his arm and dragged him out of the hall.

"Casey we have to abort. Chuck is flashing on everything," She whispered in her watch.

Casey ran after them to find them in the lobby. When he saw Chuck slouched on a seat with his head in his hands he asked, "What did you see?" Looking from Chuck to Sarah.

"He was flashing on all the weapons," Sarah replied standing near Chuck.

"What the hell Bartowski, get back in there! We have to stop an international arms dealer. He doesn't just deal BB guns you know?" Casey said in a forceful whisper, leaning close to Chuck's head.

Sarah interjected, "Well, we should have expected this. Everything in there is or was a government issued weapon at one time or another."

"If this guy gets away we don't get another shot. Who knows where he'll be next and to whom he'll be selling his next missile to," Casey said in a much calmer tone.

Chuck brought his head up out of his hands, "Sorry guys. Just... Just.... Give me a couple of minutes to clear my head.... Literally," he finished giving them a weak smile.

Sarah sat down next to Chuck, "Chuck if it's too much, you don't have to do this. The CIA can send other agents after him."

"No, it's okay Sarah. I can do this. I want to. So long as the CIA buys me a drink after this," Chuck said jokingly, which drew a smile from Sarah.

------------

Back inside the hall, Chuck was doing his best to keep his line of vision above the displays. This helped him out somewhat, but obviously there were times when something would catch his eye or his curiosity would get the best of him and he'd flash. He was actually kind of finding it cool, getting a crash course on spy-gear. Now there was no way he'd feel out of place should anyone ask him about firearms... but who would? Focus Chuck!

They had already covered over half of the hall but still no flash. Occasionally, they'd hear Casey through their earpieces, grunting in approval over something he'd spot.

"Keep it in your pants Casey," Chuck joked

"Shut up," was Casey's only response.

Chuck and Sarah had just rounded the next corner when Chuck flashed. The guy was about 5'11, blonde hair, brown eyes, leather jacket, blue jeans and the only guns Chuck could see were the ones bulging from his arms.

"Yakov Malkova; Russian arms dealer. Member of several Russian anarchist groups and the Communist Party of the Russian Federation. Served in both Chechen wars and other international wars as a volunteer, essentially, as a gun-for-hire. Affiliated with the Solntsevskaya brotherhood, the most powerful organized crime group operating in Moscow. Wanted in 14 countries. And… likes to inflict lots of pain." Chuck added the last part, with his tone getting slightly higher. There was no pretty way to describe what he saw Malkova do to those he captured. Needless to say, it was not very diplomatic.

"Good job Chuck. Casey, did you get that?"

"Yeah I did. I'm moving in."

Chuck saw Casey reach for his gun from behind his back and weave in and out of the crowd towards Malkov. And from the corner of his eye, he saw Sarah about to do the same. He had just looked back over at the Russian when he flashed a second, third, and fourth time.

"Wait! Wait! Casey wait! I flashed! I flashed alot!" Chuck said frantically, reaching for Sarah at the same time.

"This better be good Bartowski, my finger's been itching after seeing all this fire power," Casey said, grunting.

"See... that's why violence on t.v. should be banned," Chuck quipped.

"Get to the point!"

"He's talking to several mafia lackeys," Chuck updated them with the information from the Intersect. "There's going to be an auction tomorrow. Big guns, big money and bigger, badder guys."
