Chapter 4
Dog(house) days of Chuck
Again I own nothing, and bigger, scarier people than me, like NBC, Josh, WB, etc own Chuck, and another reference other than Virginia, CP Scott, Hawk Percy and DR Short (which came to me in a SCRUBS dream sequence). Scrubs are owned by someone else to. I need a Casey action figure to protect me. I don't even have a beta reader to take the fall for all my bad misstakeds.
This takes place after the end of Season 2.
Oh and I read Sarah's Mission by Zerectica and I thought "wow is he / she in my doggie couse too". I was going to have Casey in this story come out with a super soaker and nail Chuck, but after reading Sara's Mission, I could not come anywhere close to that wonderful work. I need the doggie commands gag for a later chapter, unless I figure out a better way.

Day 1 - 0830

"Oh please please please be Sarah" Chuck Bartowski reached over and grabbed his iphone from beside his clock radio and fumbled while trying looked at the caller display. Ever since he re-uploaded the intersect she had been coldly supportive but distant. Almost like when she first arrived and they had the one sided hand to hand in the bathroom when he killed the soufflé. She was in full agent mode and furious over something and it was killing him that she refused to talk to him about anything right now.
To make matters worse she left him a text message that she wanted a day or two alone and told Chuck he should heal up from that kung fu fight and that Casey will watch him, since he should only be out of bed to eat and use the washroom. Since then all his calls went to voice mail, texts unanswered, and the one time he was able to get away and go over to Sarahs, her stuff was there, but not her. Casey assured that she still checked in with him daily... but she left a text message.
Casey's bedside manor however left a lot to be desired. Especially when he suggested handcuffing him to the toilet with a six pack of homemade `10-2` cleaner if he didn't stop moaning about his lady feelings. Chuck also found that Casey 'accidentally' left a gps monitoring device they use on released criminals around his neck the morning after he got to Sarahs. That really didn't help the tension between the two. That and the bad doggie comments that Casey kept making whenever they 'talked'. The tag was even marked `LADY.`
....She left a text message .... that day or two has been over a week now…
"Huh?"
The caller display said "MR BARTOWSKI YOU WANT TO TAKE THIS CALL" Under that was the CIA icon.
Chuck has not answered his phone since the Sarahs text, not wanting to take any chance of missing her call. This however made him numb. Oh god the reassigned her.
He stared at the phone when the text changed to "SOMETIME TODAY WOULD BE NICE"
Clicking answer he put his ear up to the phone and said:"um....Hello?"
"Mr Bartowski, this is Virginia, The CIA Director would like to have a conversation with you at 1030 hours at the golf course that is being sent to your phone. This is a private conversation and it is requested that you currently do not inform your partners. There is a picture that is being e-mailed to your phone that should make this decision easier for you."
"Are you sure I can't tell Sarah. I'm sure that she will want to come along. And if I try to split now Casey might… ok will blow a gasket, he is more uptight now I've ever seen him. I don't feel right going without Sarah being there...uuum do you know where she is?"
"Please call back on the number you will acquire and confirm that you will attend. Agent Walker and Col. Casey will be briefed by the end of today. Thank you Mr. Bartowski."
"Weird I wonder what this is all about? OhCrapOhCrapOhCrap I've got a bad feeling about this."
"BARTOWSKI"
Chuck jumped and nearly lands on the floor. His iphone not so lucky dropped out of site.
Gun in hand John Casey was climbing through the Morgan door looking around like a caged lion.
"What happened, all the surveillance suddenly seemed to switch itself off. What is going on? Is Orion back. I thought he said that he would not be back for another week? Speak LADY Speak or has Walker taken your tongue along with your manhood?"
"Ok don't freak out. Got to get Casey out of here ASAP!"
"First of all Good morning Casey. I am fine how are you? Now to answer your questions I have no idea what happened to your surveillance, no dad is not back, I can speak just fine: WOOF WOOF see no problem. I'm just lying here thinking about Sarah and wondering what to do while missing those lovely…"
"(Grunt #6 – Not again) If I was you Bartowski I would shut it tight now or I will be the one taking your tongue and stapling it to the top of your mouth" And with that he grabs the stapler off the desk and "There is a reason why they make staple GUNS Bartowski. Now Sit LADY. Stay!"
Casey then does a sweep of Casa Bartowski and returns to Chuck's room. He climbs back through the Morgan door. "If the security is not back on when I check in a minute, you are going to bunk with me until I can find out what the problem is. So if you did do anything, then think about that if you can squeeze it in-between girly thoughts."
"He really needs a new hobby other than asset training. The Buy More was at least good for a distraction but since we left there I think all he has done is keep an eye on me and clean his guns"
"Oh Bartowski" Chuck Jumps "Good Assett" and Casey throws him a girl guide cookie before returning to his appartment.
Letting out a breath that Chuck didn't know he was holding he reached down he picked up his iphone (and the dropped cookie) and looked at the e-mails.
"ok that is the golf course right behind the mall. Easy to get to. I'll tell Casey that I'm headed over to see the gang at the Buy More. He might even buy that"
The next e-mail had a picture of a coffee cup and that immediately caused the flash.
"Australia, Sarah, Zodiac, anti – terrorism posters, a strawberry, coffee shops, Castle blueprints, a phone number, code to a hidden compartment, Former Director Graham, trench coats"
"Wow, I thought Casey was scary. Ok, this was Graham's old partner when he was an agent. Graham added a 'backup plan' in the first update that Bryce sent me. When the replacement intersect blew up and took Graham with it they carried it over to the new intersect because they simply didn't know it was there. Only there is no mention what the plan was and why use it now, but Sarah is involved – I got to try to reach Sarah. Crap is this CP guy the new Director? Did he ordered Sarah away?"
"Double crap! What do you wear to a golf course?"
He called the number in his flash.
"Hello Mr. Bartowski, I understand that Col. Casey didn't like the surveillance blackout. He is currently looking at you reading a comic book from four weeks ago. There is a red SUV parked outside right next to your sister usually parks her car. You may take that to drive to your location. The key is hidden inside the first aid kit under the passenger's seat."
"Col. Casey will be called to the Orange Orange with orders to leave you behind at 0915. So there will be no need to be secretive. His surveillance will think you are home reading your comics when he checks Castle's systems. Thank you and the Director looks forward to seeing you."
Sarah's phone still went to voicemail.

First thing Casey did when he returned home was examine the feeds from the moron's doghouse. Nope there he was reading one of the stupid firefly comic books that the bearded buffoon and moron started creating to help pass the time. Neither could draw so they used screen captures of the tv show and added words. At least they spent more time on that then talking about sandwiches and stranded on islands. With he idiot gone Chuck did attempt to talk to Casey more, and once Sarah Watch - Day 3 and Bartowski ran to Walkers, he was tempted to call in a few favors, have the bearded idiot thrown in back of a transport plane and shipped back here just so he would have a nerd buffer.
The only really annoying thing about the new hobby was Morgan trying to get Casey to lean the words of "Hero of Canton" whatever that was. Sci fi and comedies was not his thing, and this sounded like both. Casey cringed just at the thought of attending this Comi-Con thing.
He stepped up to the computer and a picture of the General's personal assistant came on screen.
"Yes Colonel?"
(Grunt #9 - Something's up) "I would like to speak with the General. We have a potential surveillance issue with my asset and I want to have a team come up and run a full diagnostic on the equipment."
"I'm sorry Colonel; she is currently out to a high level meeting and is not expected back anytime soon. Apparently there has been some sort of bomb threat in the CIA facility she was in and until the threat level has been cleared she is secured for her own safety in one of their bunkers. She is expected to return as soon as the CIA Anti-terrorist team finishes their sweeps. Do you want me to have her call you when she returns?"
"No thank you I will attempt to call again later"
"While I have you Colonel, The CIA informed us today that your new partner will be arriving at the Orange Orange sometime today. You have been requested to meet them and make sure that they are ready for a briefing at 1600 today at Castle. The orders specifically request that the Asset not attend until the meeting time.
"Oh crap" thought Casey "What has Walker done this time. Whenever I call I get her voicemail, and she does check in from that disposable cell all she says is fine. Crap she missed last night's check in too. Damn! Last thing I do is want to break in a new partner and possibly break the geek in two when he finds out. I wonder if the General would back a presidential pardon…"
"Yes mam, thank you. I'll get ready to head over now."
With that Casey closed the connection and ran up and got changed.
On his way out the door he grabs his phone "I'm not going to risk him spilling out his lady guts in person. This way I can hang up."
Looking towards Bartoski's window, he hit the contact marked: Lady Feeling Moron
"Hey moron, Sit….Stay. I'll be back soon. Leave and I will know. The staple gun can be used on other parts of the body. Think about it."
(Grunt #87 HE DID NOT DO THAT) "Tell me you did NOT stick your tongue out at me. Bartowski BARTOWSKI…."
