Chuck and Sarah entered the bedroom of Casa de Bartowski. She looked at the still smoldering computer. Saw the Tron poster then the double bed with the Star Wars themed sheets. Sarah smiled at the contradictions present in the room. It was a relatively large room as bedrooms go. However, It was crammed from ceiling to floor with an electronic bench, then stacks of plastic boxes containing who knows what. Chuck brushed by her with a handful of sheets and extra pillows. Sarah smiled the wordlessly helped Chuck change the sheets.
The new floral patterned sheets brightened up the room. After turning down the sheets Sarah sat on the bed and held Chuck's hand.
"Chuck you were amazing tonight. I really had a good time until those fake EMT's showed up. How did you know of the bomb?" Sarah asked.
"I don't know I just did and then I saw the explosion in my head. I just knew I had to act. I could only envision you, Ellie, Bryce, Awesome, Morgan all melting away even Major Casey. I could not let that happen especially when I knew the place the bomb was." Chuck said.
"Bryce? There was no mention of any Bryce in his dossier" Sarah thought. "Someone had redacted his file?"
Sarah looked shaken by Chuck mentioning her old partner. Then as quickly as it appeared it was gone. Her mask had firmly been replaced.
"Chuck, do you know how extraordinary you are?" Sarah asked looking deep into his eyes.
Sarah could not help notice how wonderful his chocolate pools looked to her. She was momentarily mesmerized by their beauty. Chuck was too mesmerized by her cerulean blue eyes gazing at him.
"Uh no…?" Chuck replied.
"Ok let me give you an example if someone yells fire or bomb most people scatter to run away from it. You on the other hand run toward it. That's why my dear Chuck, is why you are extraordinary. You step up to handle it." Sarah said.
"I do? Sarah, I'm plenty scared but if I did not do it then what would happen? All my friends and families would be hurt or worse dead. I have to step up to prevent that from happening." Chuck says.
Sarah smiles then kiss him again. She just loved kissing him and reveling in the warmth of his embrace. Though, she had a duty to do.
"So what is next? I have my brain filled with gov't secrets can they not just take them back out? Chuck asked.
"Chuck it is not that easy…" Sarah starts to say.
Chuck looks crestfallen. It was all Sarah could stand looking how down he is. He looks up then slowly speaks.
"I understand something went wrong. Your facilities are either non existent or compromised. I should have known some…." Chuck said as he face planted on the bed.
Chuck? Chuck! Sarah says worriedly.
Chuck just seemed to pass out in midsentence. He was snoring as Sarah contemplated her fate.
"Just my luck there was so much more to talk about…The poor guy wore himself clean out." Sarah thought.
Sarah whispers to him. "Sleep well Chuck things will be different in the morning."
Chuck just hmmms then was silent as he turns over. Sarah got dressed for bed and slid next to him.
"He was much stronger than he looked dressed." Sarah thought gazing at his sleeping form.
Sarah fell asleep as a ripple in the air was the only disturbance in the room.
Orion sighed. It was much worse.
"Charles acts different than any of the other volunteers. This fainting has to be related to how his brain accesses the information." Orion thought as he shimmered out.
Orion removed the cloak and lays on his bed. He now thinks of Bryce.
"The Cloak…! Fulcrum could be right now dissecting it and figuring out its secrets. I must stop them!" Orion thought dragging himself out of the bed to don the cloak once again.
Orion found the cloak. It was not even being looked over. Orion found a shipping envelope and slipped the cloak into it and sealed it. Then addressed it to….
Orion could not let it lay at any dead drop. Seeing he had no choice he sent it to Ellie at the Westside Medical listed as X rays then dropped into the mail chute.
Orion now totally exhausted lay down and fell right asleep.

The next morning Chuck was surprised to see Morgan coming through the Morgan door.
"Morgan what is going on?" Chuck asks.
Chuck squinted into the bright light which invaded the room.
"Chuck, boy am I glad you are awake. A$$man Tang is having a fit! It is after 10! You need to get to the Buy More!" Morgan said.
"What it is after 10? Why did my alarm clock not wake me?" Chuck says in a panic mode.
"Chuck er I think you need to find another alarm clock this one is kaput!" Morgan says holding out the alarm clock with a very fine knife sticking through it.
Chuck finally lifts himself off the bed. The covers move by themselves and a groan could be heard.
Morgan has a big smile
"Oh so you were busy last night… Oh my…It is Vicky Vale! You dog you Chuck. Just wait until I tell the Buy Morians. You will be king of the Nerds for sure!" Morgan jests.
"Morgan you will do no such thing! There is a ladies rep at stake!" Chuck growls.
"Oh Ok Chuck well get dressed and showered I will be out in the kitchen." Morgan says departing the room.
Chuck looks at the prone Sarah and decides she can stay asleep but they need to talk. He rushes through his shower.
Meanwhile Morgan has a big grin. Ellie was just about to go to bed when she spied Morgan in the refrigerator.
"Ok Morgan what are you doing here!" Ellie says in a menacing tone.
"Oh Ellie it is not what you think well it is exactly what you think but in my defense I am waiting for Chuck. He was a bit busy himself last night if you know what I mean." Morgan says while he moves his hands in a curving pattern.
Ellie's tired eyes opened wide.
"Morgan you can not be serious a…" Ellie says excitedly.
"Shhush Ellie please keep it down. They could hear you…Yes that is" Morgan agrees.
Ellie had to stifle a scream. Her prayers have been answered. First Chuck went on a date then they ended up in bed together!
Morgan this is monumental! Do you know who she is? Ellie whispered excitedly.
"Not exactly I call her Vicky Vale as in the …" Morgan says.
"Look Morgan I do not need any of your nonsense so what can you tell me about her?" Ellie whispers.
"Well she is about 5 '10 blonde hair, blue eyes a supermodel figure and needed her phone fixed. Chuck fixed her phone then ended up on this date…The sly dog!" Morgan says as he popped something in his mouth.
"Morgan I will make you a deal find out everything you can on this mystery woman and I will make your favorite breakfast!" Ellie bargains.
"Ellie, when will that breakfast be served?" Morgan asks.
"Not until you get me every usable fact you can scrounge. Do we have a deal?" Ellie asks.
"Yeah Ellie it is a deal!" Morgan mimes shaking hands since he knows Ellie would still kill him if he touches her.
"Good I need to get to bed. Remember every usable fact!" Ellie says as she heads to her bedroom.

Dressed Chuck enters the kitchen.
"So was that Ellie I saw heading into the bedroom?" Chuck asks.
"Yeah…Hurry up Chuck, you still have herder number 3. Let's get out of here!" Morgan says.
"Ok Morgan I suppose you pedaled your bike here? Let me get it and throw it on the roof." Chuck says.
Chuck drives quickly to the Buy More and parks the car in the slot. He removes Morgan's bike just in time for A$$man Tang to appear.
"Bartowski where were you?" He says glaring.
"I went to pick up herder 3 it's she a beaut? I stopped at my house to talk to my Sister. She was coming off a 30 hour grueling schedule I had to talk to her before she fell asleep." Chuck says.
"Oh Ok Bartowski we have a backlog in the cage you need to get right on them. Morgan you are train the new Green shirt. He is a big guy. He looks like he knows those beastmasters grills show him the ropes!" A$$man Tang said then departed.
Chuck spends the rest of the morning removing that same virus from at least 50 different units. He wonders if it was such a good idea to unleash this virus on the world.
About Noon Sarah came walking into the backroom.
"Chuck we need to talk." She says.
"Good I need to talk to you too." Chuck says.
"Not here…Follow me." Sarah says as he leads him into the entertainment sector.
It was where it was only yesterday or the day before he had helped that frantic Dad. Chuck smiles thinking about it.
Chuck is led to the middle of the room she closed the drapes the keying with her phone a small depression opens and a ladder going down appears.
"Come on Chuck you are needed. Your country needs you." Sarah whispers.
Chuck nimbly climbs down the ladder and is amazed. There was a whole underground base underneath the Buy More!
