Sarah had tears in her eyes as she silently wept for herself; she had orders to return to Washington DC that morning. She had written a two page letter bearing her soul to Chuck and hoped that he would wait until her term of service was up and why she had decided to do it. Her time with the CIA was rapidly coming to a close, she was tired and she was opened to a new world view that Chuck had made possible. He had made a cold blooded assassin feel the warmth of another's beating heart, she had family and friends now, and she was willing to give it all up for him. Barstow had changed everything between them. She might have taken the leap then; she had told Bryce that she was staying. Of course Chuck had been so damn noble, assisting them once again and saving Bryce. 'Always the hero' Sarah thought. However, that's what made Chuck so different from agents like Bryce and Cole, he was so much better than they were, she couldn't even believe that he thought he was less than them. Chuck was coming home from the hospital later that day. Sarah did not want to do this face to face, although she knew very well that she should. She placed the letter on his pillow taking one long look around and walked out the Morgan door.

15 minutes after Sarah Leaves

Bryce the new human intersects strolls through the entry way of Echo Park like he owns it all. He came to say goodbye and to say he was sorry about Stanford and the intersect, knowing that Chuck would find it in his big old heart to forgive him. He was used to manipulating Chuck and for the matter Sarah. He chuckled to himself at the way he was able to convince her to go with him rather than to stay with Chuck. It was touch and go, but Chuck had contributed fabulously by pushing Sarah out of the way and getting himself knocked out in the process. Seeing Sarah panicking, Bryce took full advantage of the situation. Bryce lied to her and told her the Ring knew Chuck was a possible candidate for the intersect. He convinced Sarah that if she went with him for two years, they would have enough missions under their belt to convince this new threat that someone else was the intersect. Bryce had to laugh at how easy it had been, 'protecting Chuck was her weakness' he thought. That would serve him well in the future.

Bryce was smirking, thinking how great it would be to work with Sarah again. Smiling devilishly he thought ' working under her, above her, between her'. However, his eagle eye caught the letter on the bed and so he walked into Chuck's room and lies on his bed and examines the letter. He recognizes Sarah's handwriting and wonders what she could put into a letter that was this weighty. Well Chuck needed some time alone to patch things up with Lou the deli girl. Bryce had decided they made a fair couple, plus the Buy More needed him so he didn't need to worry about Sarah Walker. Sarah was a spy and the best thing that ever happened to him. He didn't want her to get hurt with someone so clearly unworthy of her. Therefore, he sat up and placed the envelope in his jacket pocket and said good bye to Echo Park. 'There really was no need to apologize', he chuckled, and caught a cab to the airport to catch the private jet that General Beckman had sent for Casey, Bryce and Sarah. Bryce was a little annoyed that Sarah had opted to Drive to DC. 'Oh well' he thought, 'she is just playing hard to get'.

3 days after Sarah left

Chuck sat on his bed he took pleasure in what he was about to do. He wouldn't be running from bad guys or being shot at, dangled off of roof tops or falling out of hotel rooms. That sounded preferable to what he was about to do.

Chuck punched the code that would connect him to the NSA "General Beckman."

General Beckman was surprised, "Mr. Bartowski what is it that you need?"

Chuck swallowed hard and thought to himself, ' this is it', "General I just wanted to say thank you for the time you personally put into leading team intersect and that I wanted to say thank you for putting up with me and my antics."

"Chuck what is it that you want?"

"I wanted to inform you that I have just joined the Coast Guard and will become a Chopper pilot", The General was caught by surprised. Chuck continued, "Also may I get in as a Lieutenant for services rendered? I will do all the work and but I just want to not start off on the bottom. I figured for the past two years I have done everything without question." As Chuck was talking he held up a flow chart on the white board. Right in the middle of the board was his picture with a statement saying, "intersect was planned to be sanctioned by CIA Director Graham and NSA Director General Beckman.

General Beckman was completely floored. Beckman remained silent for a long time. Slowly the smile on the General's face grew. 'Gotcha', the General thought. She cleared her throat before she spoke, "I will agree to your stipulations on one condition."

"What would that be General?"

"That you have a secondary occupation in intelligence." Before Chuck could respond the General continued," instead of having to go through the whole security routine yet again I could just keep your security rating as it used to be. When we need you, we will have priority. No one and I mean no one will know you are connected with the NSA. Are we clear?"

"Yes General."

"Good, then we have a deal?"

Chuck was trying to make sure that he was going to get what he wanted;" If you agree to my terms then we have a deal."

"I'll see what I can do Bartowski, I mean Lieutenant".

"General thank you for everything, this country is better with you leading the NSA." In one silly moment of exhilaration, Chuck stands at attention a perfect crisp salute. "One Last Request ma'am? Permission to disembark Ma'am?"

"Permission Granted Lieutenant Bartowski, the Coast Guard gain is our loss however; I look forward to seeing the work you will be doing, Congratulations." With that General Beckman signed off and sighed sitting back on her chair shaking her head, Chuck would go through the training but being he had clearance already second to god and the president. She would mention his name be put on the fast track. She smiled; Beckman did not know Chuck had it in him. That board! Very, very, well played Chuck, if he didn't get what he wanted that board would go public. It was a not so subtle threat to give him what he wanted or else. Well after what we put him through a LT bars are small pittance to what he could have asked for… Now he was finally mine.

Damn! Is this paperwork ever going to end! As Chuck was signing away what he thought was his third great grandson to be a seaman with some yet to be known coast guard cutter and saying the Oath of allegiance, he was formally sworn into the US Coast Guard. Chuck had been elated after the conversation he had with the General. He did a little jig and could not believe his luck. However, once his elation and exuberance started to die down and he started to analyze his conversation with the General, the more nervous he got. He could feel his hairs standing up in the back of his neck. Chuck could not help thinking, 'did I just sell my soul to the devil'?

6 months after start of the intersect project

A lone figure limps along to his office. He used to be the top agent in Fulcrum, now he had been reduced to this shell of a man. His run-ins with agent Carmichael had ended disastrously. He hated that man but had to admit that he was a worthy opponent.

"Smith secured"

"Justin secured"

"Have you found out anything yet?"

"No sir", other than the fact that Ted Rourke had been capture by Carmichael and his team, they had not had any word.

"Well Justin I must make sure of Mr. Rourke's status before I implement his final solution."

"I will do my best sir."

"Report back when you find out"

Vincent Smith was a hard man; he had been given a special trust by Ted Rourke to release the hounds. However, even he was cautious; once he gave the order he knew there would be no going back. He had to make sure that Ted Rourke was no more before he committed to implementing the final solution.

Assignment from Hell Part One

Sarah's Pov

I am an experienced CIA agent that has had to do many things that would make the normal person sick to their stomach. Some of the things I have done I do not know if I would ever share with Chuck; however; nothing has been as horrible as being partnered again with Bryce Larkin.

I decided to drive back to DC to avoid the lecherous looks that I was receiving from Bryce. Half of me hoped that Casey would shoot him on the plane so that this assignment would be over. We received our instructions and the three of us were off to save the world. The first six months was somewhat tolerable because Casey was our partner and Bryce's wondering hands were kept in check.

The only time the Bryce showed flashes of being an idiot was when we had to pose as a couple. He was getting extremely affectionate which caused a huge argument with us after the mission. He made some inappropriate comments and I immediately struck back and attempted to slap him. However, he was too fast with the intersect and pinned me against the wall. Thank god Casey was there to save me or else I do not know what would have happened. Two days later Bryce came to me and apologized for his behavior. It seemed like he was the old Bryce, someone who was a good partner and accepted the fact that I was in love with Chuck and intended to have a life with him after my contract was up. I kept counting down the days and was worried about what was going on with Chuck. I had called him three times and only received the message that this phone was no longer in service.

Colonel Casey had been summoned to General Beckman's office, a meeting I was not aware of. When he came back from the meeting he was visibly shaken. "Sarah, I have some bad news." That certainly got my attention.

"What is it Casey"

He looked down the floor not wanting to meet my eyes, and I knew right away did I was not going to like what he had to say. "I have been reassigned"

"What!" I almost screamed. One of the reasons why I had accepted this assignment was because I had been assured that Casey would be there with me.

"Why was I not told of this Casey."

"I do not know Sarah, but the General wants me on a flight out of here tonight"

"Where are you going?"

"You know I cannot tell you that." I want to cry, Casey was a big reason why Bryce had behaved. Casey then smirked and said, "You know you can always shoot the bastard."

Smiling for the first time since I had received his horrible news I said, "you know the intersect will not be able to help him if I shoot him."

Casey chuckled and then got serious," watch your back partner I do not trust Bryce." I only nodded and gave Casey a hug.

The General called a meeting with me and Bryce. When he heard the news he was acting like the cat that ate the canary. The General dismissed Bryce and wanted to talk to me alone. She took a deep breath," Sarah I know that you are upset, however; something came up and the assignment the colonel was given is of high importance."

Gritting my teeth I responded," It took two of us to keep Larkin in check, short of shooting him how am I expected to control him? He barely listens to you!"

"After this quick mission I will assign another agent to help you out." She then was quite for a while before she asked me, "do you think there us something wrong with agent Larkin."

"Yes ma'am I do. One minute he seems fine and the next he is someone I do not recognize. In my opinion he is a liability and could cause a serious problem on a mission."

Unfortunately General Beckman knew the pressure that was coming from the top and for now they had to continue it. "Thank you for you honesty agent Walker."

As luck would have it that quick mission with Larkin never happened. We were supposed to go to a party that Armando Diaz, an arms dealer and known associate of the Ring was holding. I was holding my breath in nervous anticipation of having to go anywhere with that slime ball partner of mine. He waltzes in like he owned the place, and smiled, "you ready to go."

I swallowed hard having not looked at him, when I turned I was in shock, "Bryce you are bleeding!"

It turned out that he was bleeding profusely from his nose, all he said was, "wha...what." before he collapsed on the floor. Bryce was taken to a medical facility for evaluation and testing. I was partnered with a young agent out of the farm who was eager to work with me and was extremely respectful. The mission went off without a hitch and I was back to DC three weeks later.

Bryce was going to be released in another week so I requested that week off to fly to Burbank. I was anxious to know why Chuck had not called me or try to get in touch with me somehow. I spent the entire week looking for Chuck, however; he was no longer living in Echo Park. Ellie and Devon were gone and even Morgan was nowhere to be found. I was left frustrated and in fear that something had happen to Chuck.

I sucked it up and prepared for another round of being partnered with what many started to consider a liability as a partner. The only good thing was that the young man I was partnered with was being assigned to us for this next mission. A week into the mission, Jason the young agent assigned to us approached me concerned.

"Hmm…Agent Walker may I have a word with you".

"Sure Jason what is it".

"Hmm... I do not know how to say this, but agent Larkin just accused me of trying take you away from him. He does not seem like himself, he is acting weird and told me accidents could happen on missions. I tried to tell him that we are only partners and that I am engaged, but he did not seem to hear me."

I was livid and try to assure and calm down the situation, "Jason do not worry about Larkin, I am involved with someone else as well and Larkin is just delusional."

Jason went on to let me know that he knew the agency frowned on relationships, but the love of his life was more important and that he was quitting as a field agent to become an analyst. I told him I was happy for him. After another heated confrontation with Larkin, where he just smirked during the entire conversation, I threaten to ask for reassignment if he continued with his current behavior. He did not say anything, he just smiled.

As predicted the mission was not only a failure but a disaster as well. Larkin was having trouble hiding his flashes. He looked like he was convulsing, and when he came out of it he identified our contact as an enemy agent. Before I could do anything he opened fire on our contact, his body guards started to return fire, when Jason tried to assist, Larkin "accidently" knocked Jason into the line of fine and he was shot three times.

Everything was surreal as the bullets stopped when our supposed enemies yelled, "Federal Agents put your hands up!"

I quickly flashed my badge and ran towards Jason, I felt so sorry for him as he managed to reach in his pocket and said, "fo...for Gloria please." He then died in my arms. I was heartbroken as I saw the smug face of Bryce Larkin. I was pissed beyond belief, never had I wanted to shoot somebody more than I did him at that moment.

With a small smile on his face his said, "what, accidents happen." I stood up and knew it was probably futile but I kicked him in the groin as hard as I could and to my surprise connected. I left the bastard withering in pain.

"I guess accidents happen huh Larkin".

The agents at the scene gave me a nod approving of what I had done.

12 months after start of the intersect project

"Justin secure"

"Smith secure"

"Sir, I finally found confirmation that Mr. Rourke is dead. I do not know the particulars but he died while he was being held prisoner."

Smith leaned back on his chair and let out his breath, "Very well good job Justin. Make yourself available in case we need back-up."

Smith then went to the computer and typed the commands that he never thought he would have to and pressed enter. It immediately initiated

MCP…..Commands hell hounds release …. In progress

Around the Globe four Different men looked on with crooked grins like wolves eyeing a defenseless calf in an empty field. They had just been Given the Go signal. Their insane plan was brilliant. To the third hound however; he just looked at the screen and a wisp of a smile went on his lips he thought 'finally, this is for you my love; they will pay for taking you, my Eve.'

Assignment from Hell Part 2

General Beckman sat in her office with one of the biggest headaches she ever had. She almost winched every time she read the report in front of her. The Intersect project had been a disaster. Bryce Larkin was an incompetent fool and should be removed from field operations. Three dead agents all because of a mistake is that what Larkin was going with? She took another swig of Scotch, having to deal with Larkin was just getting to be too much. Not for the first time did she think that this country would be a lot better off if a certain Lieutenant had the intersect instead of the imbecile who currently was the intersect. She took a deep breath and said, "Send in agents Walker and Agent Larkin".

When they walked in, the General could tell that Sarah was under a lot of duress. Her eyes were bloodshot and her skin pale. She also noticed how Sarah sat as far away from Larkin as possible.

"Agents I have been reviewing your last mission, could you Agent Larkin explain to me what the hell happened!"

Larkin did not bat an eye nor was he intimidated by the General. He looked at his finger nails a clear sign of disrespect and said, "Faulty Intersect data."

"What! You are attempting to tell me that it was OUR FAULT!" the general was clearly livid.

"That is correct; I would not have made that mistake if the information provided to me was correct." His smug attitude was pushing the general to the edge of her patience.

Gritting her teeth she said in a low and menacing voice, "If it were up to me I would lock you up and throw away the key." Clearly disgusted she continued, "However, this project has cost a lot of money and they want to give you every opportunity to see if the intersect will work in the field. Therefore, against my better judgment you will once again be re-evaluated and at the end of this period the intersect will be reloaded into your brain. This process will take several months. Agent Walker you will be reassigned temporarily while Agent Larkin's evaluation is in progress. You are too valuable to waste just sitting around." You will be happy to learn that you will be joining an old colleague of yours. Zondra will be waiting for you at the airport."

Sarah was disappointed because she thought she would get time off so she could continue her search for Chuck. However, being away from Larkin was clearly a win, win situation in her book.

Larkin was about to protest when the General asked Sarah "is there anything that you would like to add Agent Walker"

"Yes there is General, I believe that Agent Larkin is a danger to our operations and has already demonstrated that he will get our agents killed. I know I only have 10 more months before my contract is up but I again am requesting a reassignment from my current duties. I rather be on desk duty than anywhere near Agent Larkin."

Larkin was livid, how dare she say that about the CIA's best, "Why are you saying those things Sarah, have you not made a mistake before? How many times did I save your life? Your mistakes caused innocent people to die as well. However, I never went to Graham and demand you lose your job! Are you still upset about losing your latest boy toy! Seriously you have to stop making passes at every one of your co-workers!"

Sarah was seeing red, "You son of a bitch! That young agent came to me concerned about you! You threaten him and told him accidents happen! Why did you push him Larkin, did that warp brain of yours decide to sacrifice another life!" Sarah stood breathing heavily ready to end his sorry life in an instant.

"That is enough!" The General yelled, without waiting for a response she hit the com, "bring Agent Larkin's escort in!" As soon as the agents came in the General pointed to Larkin, "Take this agent to medical, under no circumstances is he to be left out of you site. Is that clear!"

"Yes ma'am!" The three agents said in unison.

General Beckman turned to Sarah and said, "Your plane leaves tonight, I am sorry agent Walker, I know this assignment has been difficult for you. Hopefully, this time away from Agent Larkin will do you good."

Sarah nodded and left to pack thinking, 'what will do me good is leaving the agency for good.'

Four months into the assignment and Sarah and Zondra were about to complete another successful mission. They had been tracking Omar Khalid, an arms dealer with ties to Volkoff industries. He had gotten a hold of two nuclear weapons from Pakistan and was in negotiations with the Ring for their delivery to the US. Zondra and Sarah had been able to identify all their contacts and had the information in a special flash drive. They were almost done in Paris when Sarah's phone buzzed. It was Carina with a picture of a hot guy and all it said was "guess who." Sarah was tired and her eyes blurry, she thought 'great another one of Carina's studs,' She never really looked at the picture and was oblivious as to who it was. They were going to follow Khalid to Berlin and with the final bit of information be able to bring down the entire operation.

Six months into the operation, Zondra came rushing in, "Sarah you are not going to believe this."

Sarah just looked at her concerned, "The top brass has cleared Larkin for field duty again. He is coming here to assist us."

"Are these people crazy?" An agitated Sarah said as she stalked up and down in the bedroom. "Sending a psycho like Larkin is the worst possible thing they can do!"

Zondra replied, "he is supposed to be here as an observer and nothing else. We can use him as a currier, come on Walker what possible damage can he do."

"If I know Larkin, he will screw up somehow and put us in danger. Zondra please be careful around him, I do not trust him!"

Sarah was pretty agitated when her phone buzzed again, she could tell it was Carina. "Not now Carina." She send the call to voice message. Carina did not leave any.

Larkin was a model agent; he did everything by the book and did not bother anyone. Zondra seeing how he was behaving started to think that Sarah was over reacting and started to let her guard down.

The day of the final mission in Europe was upon them and all they needed to do was get the final piece of the information that would lead to Khalid's organization being brought down. Sarah was in front getting Intel of where Khalid would be so they could sneak into the room where their computer was. They knew the password and would be able to download the information needed to finish their assignment.

That left Zondra and Larkin alone. Larking had been using his charm on Zondra and it was working. She told him everything, Larkin convinced Zondra to leave the flash drive with him. After they retrieved the information and Zondra had gotten back in the van, Larkin informed Zondra that she needed to backup Sarah who was late getting back. He told her to leave the last flash drive with him to keep it safe.

Zondra went looking for Sarah and found her; they were both headed back when they were spotted by one of Khalid's men who sounded the alarm. They were running as fast as possible as they were being fired upon. Larkin seeing what was happening flashed and his head exploded with pain. Not aiming correctly he fired and hit Zondra in the leg. She fell like a sack of potatoes, screaming in pain. Sarah ran back to her trying to get her up. Larkin yelled at Sarah, "Leave her she is not going to make it."

Sarah fired back, "cover us we need help."

Larkin looked at the situation and thought it was hopeless, "sorry Sarah this information is more important." With that he drove away from the scene as fast as he could.

Sarah could not believe it, he had done it again! "Come on Zondra get up we have to go!"

"No Sarah you go, I will activate my tracker that way you can save me. Sarah, I just want to say you were right. That son of a bitch deserves to die!"

Sarah did not want to but knew if she stayed with Zondra, they would both be captured and then no one would come to save them. She kissed Zondra on the forehead, misty eyed she said "I will see you soon."

Sarah left and dodges two of Khalid's men. She was able to circle behind them and take them out with her knives. Sarah picked up her phone and immediately called for backup. Zondra's tracker was activated. She was found several hours later beaten but not severely. They were going to take their time with her. She was lucky that they were waiting for their boss to show. The time alone was what the NSA strike team needed to go in and rescue her. Zondra was saved and taken to the hospital.

Sarah call the General, with the rescue of Zondra and staying with her at the hospital, it had been three days since Larkin had left them to die in the streets of Berlin.

"Report Agent Walker"

"Ma'am, Larkin took off with the flash drives and left us to die," Sarah said with an accusatory tone.

The general looked at Sarah sympathetically. "Is Zondra ok?"

"Yes no thanks to that lousy excuse of an agent." Sarah bit back. "What are you going to do with him now general?"

"He reported back to the CIA. Making claims of how important he was and showed everyone who would listen the flash drives. He turned them in looking like he was going to get rewarded. He must have gotten wind that we were going to arrest him because he told the receptionist he would be right back and disappeared into the night."

"I have met with the new Director of the CIA and the head of the DNI. They finally listened to me and have a sanction out on Agent Larkin."

Sarah was silent for a long moment, finally the general said, "Report back to DC and after we debrief you go on a two week vacation you have earned it."

"General if I may, I only have three more weeks on my contract," the General had completely forgotten about that fact. "If you do not mind I would like to take my leave, I have something important to do."

The General smirked, "Chuck."

There was no point in denying it, "Yes General. It is time I took care of me and especially Chuck."

"How long have you been compromised Sarah"

At this point she did not care since she was just a short timer, "From the very beginning."

The General just shook her head, she knew, she always knew, "We will talk again when you get back."

Maybe she could save the day after all, if she let them have a relationship while Chuck became the intersect? 'Yes the day maybe saved after all.'

It had taken Sarah two days to finish up her affairs in Berlin; she had an early flight to DC. When she arrived she was tired and went immediately to her hotel. Sarah was busy unpacking only what she needed. If everything went right she would soon be involved in the search for Chuck. She was surprised when her phone buzzed; it was Watson an analyst she had known for a long time. She had been desperate and had asked him to locate Morgan Grimes. From Ellie's wedding she knew that Morgan was in Hawaii. Sarah had no idea where Ellie was and of course Chuck had simply disappeared.

"Watson how are you"

"Hey Sarah are you back in the States?"

"Yes Watson I am."

"Well Sarah I got good news, I located Morgan Grimes through a young lady named Anna Wu. I am sending you a text with his number."

"Thanks Watson you are the best."

"Anytime Sarah, you have done me many favors before, I still owe you."

After receiving Watson's text Sarah looked at the clock it was 7 PM. There was a time difference to consider but she took a chance and called. The phone rang three times before someone picked up the phone.

"Hello"

Sarah could not believe it the voice of Morgan Grimes came through loud and clear.

"Hey Morgan"

"Sarah?"

"Yes it's me."

"To what do I owe the pleasure?"

"Well Morgan I have been trying to get to get in contact with Chuck but his phone is no longer listed. Do you happen to have his new number?"

"Sorry Sarah but I have not heard from Chuck in nearly two years." Sarah heart sank it looked like her gamble was not going to bear fruit. However, leave it to Morgan to give her hope again. "Sarah, I do have Ellie's new phone number, she and Devon are Africa with doctors without boarders."

"You are kidding." Sarah was genuinely surprised.

"Yeah she called me about 6 months ago and gave me her phone number. Frankly I have been so busy that I have not been able to call her back." Morgan gave Sarah, Ellie's number.

"Thank you Morgan you do not know what this means to me. By the way how is it going for you?"

"Actually great I have been working as a Benihana Chef for the last year!"

"That is great Morgan, I am happy for you. Say hi to Anna for me and again thank you for your help."

After Sarah hung up she was ecstatic 'finally' she thought.

There was a knock was on her door. She opened the door and to her shock and amazement there stood Bryce with a rose and a bottle of wine and self centered smile that said that he was going to get lucky tonight. She says "what the hell are you doing here Bryce?" The asshole was actually trying the Montgomery her!

"I just thought I make it up to you for leaving you so abruptly," said Bryce in a seductive voice.

"Not if you were the last man on earth would you have a chance with me," said Sarah angrily.

This did not sit well with Bryce. In his mind he was the intersect a god among men, women should be begging to go to bed with him, this included Sarah Walker. So he tried the shock and awe routine he dropped her letter on to the table next to the rose and the bottle of wine. When Sarah saw her letter she was in shock.

Sarah stood there stone still looking at the letter she had left for Chuck, the man she loved, the man she was willing to defend to the death, the man she had killed to protect her better half. It suddenly hit her like a freight train the whole reason Chuck hadn't called, emailed or texted her. He never received the letter she had left. He Never Got IT! An anger and hatred started to build for Bryce Larkin like she had never felt before.

Chuck, Ellie, Devon, and even Morgan had a mellowing effect on Sarah; they had made her laugh and changed her to the point where she easily forgave. Unfortunately for Larkin they were not here at the moment in time to distract the cold calculating killer that was the wild Card Enforcer. She would make him pay dearly for what he had done to her.

Gritting her teeth, Sarah viciously kicked Bryce in the groining and he immediately crumbled to the floor. He could barely breathe and started throwing up. Sarah walked slowly towards Larkin like a lion to her prey she smile and in a low voice said, "That was for leaving us and killing Jason." She then stepped back measured her prey and send a wheelhouse kick that connected on his face and she heard the satisfying crunch of nose breaking. Larkin fell forward unconscious. Through gritted teeth she said, "That is for trying to ruin my relationship with Chuck you bastard!"

Sarah immediately called Beckman. "I found your missing asset."

"Where is he Sarah?"

"He is bleeding all over my carpet."

"A cleanup crew will be sent to your room immediately, expect them in 10 minutes!"

After they picked up the broken body of Bryce Larkin, the leader of the cleanup crew told Sarah to call the General.

"General Beckman you wished to talk to me ma'am?"

Her room was full of people, "yes Agent Walker, first good work in neutralizing the rogue agent." She was being very formal since she had company. "I need you to report to my office immediately."

"Yes ma'am."

When Sarah reported to Beckman's office, she was introduced to Dr. Shernoff, one of the lead doctors in the intersect project.

"I called you here tonight so that you could be a witness to the final solution."

Confused Sarah said, "Final solution ma'am?"

Dr. Shernoff interrupted, "yes Agent, it has been determined that Agent Larkin is a danger to his fellow agents and this country. The intersect no longer works and his brain is actually melting. We are terminating this agent so that he no longer suffers."

Sarah disliked Larkin with a passion but she was not looking forward to seeing him executed! They went to the basement and sat in a small chamber, the curtain opened and there was Bryce Larkin strapped to a chair with duel IV's sticking out in both arms. The chamber was full of witnesses; Sarah was struck by how silent it was. Bryce had a perfect view of the room and spotted Sarah immediately. In a moment of lucid thought he yelled, "Hey partner, where is Chuck!" at that moment Sarah's heart broke. Yes he had done horrible things and deserved to die for what he did to Jason, but Chuck had changed her and she no longer wanted any part of this life.

The technicians looked at Beckman who nodded. They simultaneously released the deadly liquid and soon Bryce was convulsing and struggling, his last words were "Mama! Mama!" and then he was still. The doctors checked him over and nodded to the General. Then the curtain closed. Sarah had tears in her eyes and made no attempt to hide them. 'I sometimes wonder who the real enemy is,' she thought.

When she got to her apartment she was exhausted. She quickly fell asleep only to be woken up by Carina. Now as she sat waiting for her flight to Alaska she shook her head. She was tired of everything that had to do with the CIA, but with renewed determination she was going to find Chuck and they were finally going to live that normal life that he always talked about and god help anyone who stood in her way.
