Chapter 7.
Jenny heard a gun shot and her heart sank and she started crying.
Chuck was waiting at the back door when the mob hit man came in the back door he quickly grabbed his arm holding the gun and snapped both bones in his forearm as he took the gun out of his hand. Using the stolen gun he fired a single round into the other mans forehead as he came bursting in the door.
Chuck then turned his attention back to other man he had taken the gun from. He gave him a roundhouse kick to the face and he quickly went down. Chuck went to check on the other man and confirmed that he was dead.
Chuck walked to the basement door.
"Jenny its Chuck, do you have any rope?" yelled Chuck.
"Yeah down here, are you ok?" she said worriedly.
Jenny opened the door and Chuck just gave her a hug.
"Its best if you don't come up here just give me the rope and I will let you know when you can come up" said Chuck.
"Um, ok but you sure you're ok." Jenny said handing him the rope
"Yeah we can talk about it later, I just need to make sure you are safe" Chuck replied.
'Did I bring these guys to Jenny, what have I done?' thought Chuck.
Chuck used the rope that Jenny gave him to tie the surviving gunmen to the chair, he then put both guns on the table and searched both men for any ID and other weapons and put them all in a pile on the table.
They both had backup pieces, knives, brass knuckles and what looked like a hypodermic needle in a case.
Chuck made a phone call.
"Morgan, I have a couple of names I need you to run" said Chuck.
"What's happening, I thought you were on leave?" asked Morgan.
"Yeah buddy, but looks like someone came looking for me and found me" said Chuck.
"You ok?" asked Morgan.
"Yeah I'm ok but I will need the cleaners" said Chuck.
"Ok so the names?" asked Morgan
"First name Ian Kuklinski, second name Aaron Aleman. I will hold." said Chuck.
After about twenty seconds Morgan came back on the line.
"Ok, who are you getting mixed up in? They are the two main enforcers from the 'AJALA' crime family in Chicago. Both suspected in excess of ten hits each, never been enough evidence to get them behind bars though" said Morgan.
"Morgan, I have no idea why they are after me, but I can promise I will find out" said Chuck.
Chuck hung up and started looking in Jenny's cupboards for something he could use to wake up the visitor.
He walked back over to the basement door.
"Jenny, I guess you don't have any smelling salts, do you have anything at all that smells awful?" asked Chuck.
"Have a look under the sink I have got something under there for cleaning one whiff of that and you will know it, so can I come up now?" said Jenny.
"No not yet" said Chuck.
Chuck took the cleaning solution over to his prisoner and shoved it under his nose
"Oh what the" he said.
"What is your name?" asked Chuck.
"Oh get stuffed not telling you nothing" he said.
"Tell me why Ian Kuklinski and Aaron Aleman both enforcers for the Ajala family are coming after me?" said Chuck.
There was a look of surprise on his face.
"Well you already know who I am so you have me at a disadvantage, I have no idea who you are?" said Ian Kuklinski.
"If you don't know who I am, why are you coming after me?" asked Chuck.
"Its got nothin to do with you it's the woman, Jenny Burton the boss sent us to take her. Only instruction was for her to be alive" said Ian.
'What the hell does the mob want with Jenny?' thought Chuck
"What were you going to do to her?" asked Chuck.
"As I said, we were just gonna have a bit of fun, then give her to the Boss" said Ian smiling.
Chuck let him have a right cross that released a few teeth.
"You do not talk like that about her, now why does your boss want her?" asked Chuck.
"Go get stuffed, you are going to be dead soon anyway. You don't cross the Ajala family and get away with it." said Ian.
Chuck just put his face right in front of him and gave an evil smile.
"Your little crime family doesn't scare me, you have no idea who I am" said Chuck grabbing his broken arm he made him scream in pain.
Jenny came running out of the basement to find out what was going on, she was shocked when she saw a man tied up to a chair.
"Chuck what is going on?" asked Jenny.
"Here is Daddy's little girl, come over here and suck my…." Ian said until he was interrupted by a roundhouse kick to his head throwing himself and the chair backwards. Either the kick or landing on his head caused him to loose consciousness again.
Jenny started shaking.
"What's going on Chuck?" asked Jenny clearly scared out of her wits. Chuck didn't know if it was at the mention of her father or what Chuck had done.
"Jenny, take it easy. I know this doesn't look good but they wanted to take you, they are Mob enforcers. Jenny I will not let anything happen to you" said Chuck.
Jenny just dropped to the floor.
Chuck just ran to her. She just had her head in her hands shaking it backwards and forwards saying No over and over.
"Jenny I understand, I am sorry you had to see this. I will not let anything happen to you but you have to do what I say" said Chuck.
"Chuck, what has my dad done what has he gotten involved in?" asked Jenny.
"I don't know Jenny, but I think whatever he has done he has gotten involved with the wrong people, whatever is going on, It will not take long for them to realize that these guys didn't succeed. When they don't hear from them, they are likely to take it up a notch" said Chuck.
"What are you going to do with him?" asked Jenny.
"I need to ask him some other questions, then I will get him picked up" said Chuck.
"Chuck we need to call the police?" said Jenny.
"Jenny, the local police are not going to be able to handle it. They will know something has happened, but we need to leave Warwick and get somewhere safe so we can work out our next move" said Chuck.
"Chuck if the police can't do anything then how can you?" asked Jenny.
"Jenny I have told you some things about me and have been truthful, but there are some things I still haven't told you. Some of those relate to why I left the army and what I have been doing since then. But just trust that I know what I am doing. I will not let anything happen to you, do you trust me Jenny?" said Chuck.
"Chuck I believe you will not let anything happen to me, but I am not sure if I trust you. Chuck what has happened here scares me, and it's not just what they have done or were going to do. You say they are with the Mob but you take them both out without any weapons" said Jenny.
"Jenny I know this is a lot to take in and I know that this probably changes how you feel about me, but I need you to try and put that aside for the moment until we can at least get somewhere safe" said Chuck.
"Jenny do you know of any reason your father would be involved with the Ajala crime family?" said Chuck
"No not at all" Jenny said defensively.
Chuck pulled out his phone.
"Morgan, another name for you" said Chuck
"Yep" replied Morgan.
"Jack, Jackson or John Burton, also see if there are any known ties with the Ajala crime family" said Chuck.
Jenny was looking at Chuck trying to work out what he was doing and what was going on.
"I see thanks Morgan, going to need cleaners at this location" said Chuck, he gave Morgan the address then hung up the phone.
"Chuck what's going on are you a cop?" asked Jenny.
"No I don't work for the police, look when we are out of here I will explain, but getting to the bottom of this is my first priority" said Chuck.
Just then Chuck saw Bryce come in the front door.
"Wow what happened hear?" said Bryce.
"Bryce come with me, Jenny please stay in the basement until I return" said Chuck.
Chuck and Bryce went out the front of the house.
"Look the two goons were after Jenny, because of her father. I have to disappear with her for a while." said Chuck.
"Chuck, you are not working in Insurance are you?" asked Bryce.
"Guess depends on you definition, long story short I work for the Government and some Federal Agents will be coming over here to clean this mess up. Can you assist them in cleaning up here and at the hotel they were staying?" asked Chuck.
"Yeah sure, what agency you with?" asked Bryce
Bryce was thinking that he dodged a bullet with Jenny, if he and her hooked up he could be dead. No way is he getting involved with someone with these problems.
Chuck ignored the question and went back inside to talk to Jenny.
"Did you find anything about my dad?" asked Jenny.
"Yes but I am not sure if the information is reliable, but it is best to have some knowledge about a subject before you start questioning someone. A lot easier to know if he is lying" said Chuck.
Chuck started picking up the man that was collapsed on the floor and sat him back on the chair to start another round of questions.
"Jenny I think it would be best if you went back into the basement" said Chuck.
"No Chuck if this guy knows anything about my Dad I want to know" said Jenny.
"But Jenny I may have to hurt him to get the questions answered" said Chuck.
Jenny just looked at Chuck she walked over to him and kicked him in the head while he was still sitting causing him to go crashing to the floor again and regain consciousness.
"This bastard doesn't deserve to be treated like a person after talking to me the way he did. No one talks to a female that way. I have seen enough of victims of these monsters, it feels good to let him have it" said Jenny.
Chuck brought him back up sitting again and the man just looked in Chuck's eyes.
"If you ever talk to any women like that again, I will them cut off and make you suck your own you understand?" said Chuck
With that he buried one of the mans knifes between his legs in the chair
"Don't worry no matter how small it is I will not miss" said Chuck.
Chuck moved the mans broken arm and he screamed.
"Now tell me, what does Jack Burton have to do with this?" said Chuck as a smile came to the mans face.
"Nothing I don't know who you are talking about" he said with a wicked smile.
Chuck then brought his heel down onto the mans good arm, Jenny heard a snap.
"Ian, tell me what I want to know or you will be in so much pain you won't even remember your own name" said Chuck.
He was screaming and having difficulty breathing, he eventually opened his mouth to talk.
"Look all I know is her dad ripped of the family and we were to take her to teach him a lesson" said Ian.
"That's better, see it isn't that difficult is it, where is her father?" asked Chuck.
"You are getting involved in things you have no idea about" said Ian.
"Ian, you and your buddy here picked the wrong girl to threaten now tell me what your boss was going to do to her when you brought her in" said Chuck.
"He was going to rape her in front of her father, and then if he didn't give him the money he took, he was going to torture her until he did" said Ian.
"Jenny go pack a bag, we are going away" Chuck said after delivering a right cross and knocking him out again.
"Chuck I can't, I have the shelter" said Jenny.
"Jenny, you can either realize yourself how stupid staying here is and go pack a bag, or I will forcibly take you. It's your choice, but you have one minute to decide. I promised you that I will make sure nothing happens to you and I intend to keep that promise even if it means protecting you from your own sense of duty and responsibilities. I will get someone to come and help with the shelter, it is probably the next place they will look to find out where you are" said Chuck.
"Ok I will pack a bag, so for how long?" asked Jenny.
"Until the risk is handled, Jenny you may never be able to come back" said Chuck.
"Chuck my dad, I hate him for what he has done to me and everyone else but he is still my dad" said Jenny with tears running down her cheek.
Chuck stepped up to hold her but Jenny just shook her head
"look I need you to answer some questions before I will let you near me" said Jenny.
"Jenny I will do whatever I can for your father" said Chuck throwing the weapons and ID into a bag.
"Jenny I want to leave in 10 minutes" said Chuck.
Jenny was in her room packing her bag as quickly as she could, she was throwing in shirt and shorts long pants dresses underwear socks and some selections to sleep in.
'Well I guess the date is off, I don't even know who Chuck is and who he called to ask about my dad' thought Jenny.
Jenny also threw in a selection of toiletries and started crying.
Chuck could hear her crying but didn't know what to do, he wanted to just go and hold her, but he also didn't want to make it worse. He is sure the shock of what has happened and the realization of the danger to herself and her dad is scaring her.
Chuck walked towards her room and she was just sitting on the end of her bed with her head in her hands.
"Jenny, I know this is not easy for you, but I will get you through this." said Chuck.
"Chuck I don't even know who you are. You could be a criminal like them or like my dad" said Jenny.
Chuck walked up and sat next to her on the bed.
"Jenny, I have done some things I am not proud of, but they have been done to protect the freedoms of the People of the United States and their Allies" said Chuck.
"Chuck I am not talking about the army, I know you are somehow involved in something and you have told me you don't work for the police so what do you want me to think?" said Jenny.
"Jenny, I work for the government and have been since I left the Army. I work for a Federal Government agency, but at this stage that is all I can tell you" said Chuck
"You work for the FBI?" asked Jenny
"No, but when we get somewhere safe I will explain. I will not let anything happen to you Jenny" said Chuck.
She started crying again but this time she rested her head on Chuck's shoulder, Chuck put his hand around her and held her tight.
'Now that I have finally have someone to care about again I am not going to let anyone take her away' thought Chuck.
"Jenny I will not leave you to deal with this yourself, I will be to help you every step of the way" said Chuck.
"Chuck, how can you help, you are supposed to go back to work next week whatever that is" said Jenny.
"Jenny look at me" said Chuck and took his hand and gently turned her face to look into his the eyes.
"I will not leave you, my job is not important compared to making sure you are ok. I don't know how you feel about me and understand I can't ask considering what has happened in the last hour. But know this, I care about you and the last people I cared this much I lost and I am not going to let anything happen to you." said Chuck.
Jenny looked into his eyes and could see the emotion and determination.
"I don't know why Chuck, but I trust you" said Jenny.
"Thank you, its time to go" said Chuck.
They were walking out of the house when Jenny turned to Chuck.
"What is going to happen to them?" asked Jenny
"The one left alive will become a guest of the federal government on suspicion of Terrorist activity until such a time he can be charged relating to this situation" said Chuck.
"Will he talk to anyone, will it put us in any danger?" asked Jenny.
"No, he will not see anyone for months, courtesy of the patriot act" said Chuck.
Jenny had mixed feelings she wanted him to be locked away but was concerned that Chuck was doing something her shouldn't and disregarding his rights.
"Chuck I do not want you to get in trouble because of this?" said Jenny.
"Jenny, as soon as they targeted you, I became involved. Now anything involved with this is a matter of National Security. I am not abusing the mans rights, but for him to tell anyone about me is a matter of national security" said Chuck.
"Chuck who are you?" asked Jenny.
Two Black SUV's and an ambulance turned up out the front of the house.
Chuck went over to talk to the man that looked in charge, Chuck was doing most of the talking and the other man was just nodding his head. Chuck finished the conversation and walked back over to Jenny. They were about to leave when the other man came back over.
"Special Agent Carmichael the Director also wanted you to call him when you had the chance" he said.
Chuck looked at Jenny and mouthed later.
Chuck took Jenny towards one of the SUV's and opened the passenger door for her and she hopped in, he closed the door and walked around the other side.
"Chuck what is wrong with your car?" asked Jenny.
"I suspect it has been at least bugged or possibly a bomb has been wired to the ignition or exhaust "said Chuck as if he was talking about the weather.
"Oh shit, how can you be so calm and why did that man call you Special Agent Carmichael?" said Jenny.
"That is because I am a Special Agent that works for the CIA" said Chuck.
Jenny knew that was the likely explanation, but hearing from Chuck was still a shock.
"How long have you worked for the CIA?" asked Jenny.
"Since before I came back from Afghanistan, I was recruited from the Rangers and became part of the SAD the special activities division that specialized in black ops" said Chuck.
"So that is what you currently do?" asked Jenny
"No when I came back stateside, I completed training at the farm and became an agent, I now specialize in the containment of domestic terrorist threats" said Chuck.
"What does that mean Chuck?" asked Jenny.
"Jenny it is my job to make sure something like 9/11 or the death of my Father or Sister doesn't happen again" said Chuck.
"What did terrorist have to do with the death of your father and sister?" asked Jenny.
"It was a terrorist car bomb that exploded as their car drove past" said Chuck.
Jenny wasn't sure what this meant to her, she had to admit that part of her found it sexy, but another part found it deeply concerning. She knows she told Chuck that she would help him deal with the things he had done, but she didn't realize this was what he was talking about. Also falling for someone that does such a dangerous job, if something happened to him how would she handle it.
She decided that she couldn't make any decisions until the danger of the current events passed.
"I am sorry I couldn't tell you the truth, I was eventually going to tell you. I guess I just wanted my life that I had before all this craziness to not be affected by it. But I guess that didn't last long, when this is all over you won't have to worry about it, because I will disappear again" said Chuck sadly.
"Chuck, why are you saying that?" said Jenny.
"Jenny, I understand knowing this about me it is too much to accept. I get it I don't blame you at all" said Chuck with tears in his eyes.
"Chuck listen please, I am not saying that it isn't hard to accept, and I am not saying I can accept it either, but please do not make decisions for me. I need to wait until I can think clearly and with everything that has happened in the last couple of hours is a lot to take in. But at the moment I am not ready to throw away something if I still see a chance at a future" said Jenny.
"Ok, if you have any questions let me know and I will try and answer them. If I can't answer I will say so, I will not lie to you anymore" said Chuck.
"So has there been many terrorist attacks or plots on US soil since 9/11?" asked Jenny.
"Well I am sure you can imagine I can't give details, but yes there have been several terrorist plots against domestic targets. The fact that none of them have become known is a testament to how well we are doing our job" said Chuck.
"But that sounds like a thankless existence" said Jenny.
"The knowledge that everyone else is able to carry on with their lives is thanks enough" said Chuck.
"But no one knows you do it" said Jenny.
"Jenny that is the life of a CIA operative, we do things so people can enjoy their freedoms" said Chuck.
"That is enough of a life for you?" asked Jenny.
"Well no, I do not like what I do and that is why I tried to reconnect with my old life" said Chuck sadly.
"But it is not the thankless nature of the Job it has more to do with what is expected of me" said Chuck.
"Jenny, I do not enjoy ending people lives. No matter what they have done. That man today well I have trained myself to act on instinct and to not let feelings or emotions effect me, but eventually my feelings and emotions return to me and I struggle to deal with it" said Chuck with tears running down his face.
"So where are we going Chuck?" asked Jenny.
"We will stop in at Las Vegas, we need to work our way to Chicago" said Chuck
"Chicago? But isn't that were the people that are after me are?" asked Jenny concerned
"Well yes, but we need to make sure that at the very least we discourage them from coming after you, taking out two of their enforcers will only make them angry and want to escalate. We need to make them realize coming after you will be very costly and need them to decide to give up" said Chuck.
"Chuck how do you plan to do that? What do I even call you now?" asked Jenny
"Jenny my name is Chuck; I go by the cover name Charles Carmichael at work? But even Chuck works with that. "said Chuck.
"Ok Chuck but you didn't say how?" said Jenny
"I am still working on that part of the plan, but first things first we need some money" said Chuck.
"Oh… Chuck I don't really have any to give you I'm sorry. I will do whatever it takes to pay you back after this is all over" said Jenny sadly.
"Jenny, don't worry about it, I need you to concentrate on keeping yourself alive and worrying about money will not help. Besides I am not worried about it" said Chuck smiling.
"I have a bit of money I got an inheritance from my Dad so you don't have to worry" said Chuck.
"Chuck I can't have you " said Jenny but Chuck interrupted.
"Jenny, almost all my expenses have been paid for by the government for the last 10 years, the money I have made from work has just been accumulating, trust me I do not need your money" said Chuck.
"We will sort this out later Chuck, I do not have the energy to discuss it any further" said Jenny.
"So what do you think my dad did?" asked Jenny.
"Jenny, I will answer the question, but this has not been confirmed and maybe totally erroneous. Reports were that your dad was doing the books for the family. If I was to guess I would say that some money has disappeared and the family believe he has stolen it" said Chuck.
"Well I would say that he has stolen it. God he is stupid" said Jenny.
"Yeah not really the people to rip off" said Chuck.
Jenny finally fell asleep as Chuck continued driving he decided that he will also change vehicles in Vegas and called ahead to arrange for a new car. Chuck new the revelations about his job had hit Jenny hard, he always knew that when she had found out what he had done and does, she would not want to be with him. Chuck didn't care though, he still cared about her and he was going to do whatever he could to protect her even if she hated him.
They called into a federal impound lot, Chuck leaned over to wake Jenny up.
"Jenny, wake up sleepy head" said Chuck
Jenny woke up and stretched.
"Where are we?" she said yawning.
"Federal impound changing cars hop out and grab your stuff" said Chuck.
Chuck walked up to the supervisor and quoted a claim number and was given a set of keys for a car that was impounded by the DEA.
Chuck looked at the car description on the form and quickly identified the car, walked over and started it up and drove over to where Jenny was waiting with her stuff.
"What is this car?" asked jenny shocked.
"It's a Porsche of course" said Chuck.
"I know it's a Porsche but why have we got one?" asked Jenny
"Well this one was impounded by the DEA from a drug lord and it helps with the image I will be trying to portray" said Chuck.
Jenny hopped in and Chuck saw the first smile on her face he had seen since the incident.
"Don't worry I will let you drive" said Chuck.
Her eyebrows went up, "how did you know what I was thinking?" asked Jenny.
"I'm pretty good with reading people" said Chuck.
They pulled up to a hotel.
"This is where we are staying?" asked Jenny.
"Ah no, I have a safety deposit box here" said Chuck.
"Come in "said Chuck
"You sure, I understand if you don't want me…?" said Jenny but Chuck interrupted.
"Jenny, I am not going to leave you in the car. Until we get to somewhere safe you will not be out of my sight, just try not to talk inside" said Chuck.
They both walked into the Hotel lobby and Chuck walked up to the reception, Chuck pulled out his ID.
"Hello the name is Dean Reynolds, I have a safety deposit box here that I would like to access" said Chuck in a thick Texas drawl.
They were shown to a closed room and the box was brought out for them. After the receptionist left he opened up the box took a gun and some magazines, a knife holster and a couple throwing knives and grabbed several stacks of money. He closed the box and put the money and weapons in his pockets. It also looked like Chuck took some ID's and Credit Cards.
Jenny was astounded how much money was in the box and was surprised how much money Chuck took out. She was going to ask but then remember she wasn't supposed to talk.
They made their way back out to the car before Jenny spoke.
"You sure we are going to need that much?" asked Jenny
Chuck just looked at her
"Jenny don't worry about the money, it's only about 50k" said Chuck.
'Shit that must mean he still has something like 200k left in the box' though Jenny
"Lucky we were close to Vegas I guess" said Jenny.
"What do you mean?" asked Chuck
"For your safety deposit box" said Jenny.
"Oh I have a fair few of ones like that around the place" said Chuck.
'Shit' thought Jenny.
"Jenny most of the cash I have are sequential serial numbers, so I am going to go to the casino and do some exchanging. Also I need to go get some clothes as all I have is what is on my back" said Chuck.
"Oh ok um did you want me to join you?" asked Jenny.
"Jenny as I said before you will not be out of my sight" said Chuck with a small smile.
"So for starters we will do some shopping, then maybe grab some late dinner then hit the tables" said Chuck.
"Oh, um ok" said Jenny.
Jenny was worried that she hadn't really brought anything good enough to wear in the Casino but would just have to make do.
"Jenny, what's wrong and don't say nothing because I know better then that" said Chuck.
"Um I didn't think we would be going to the casino or anything, so I really don't have anything to wear, but I guess I can make do with something but I may look out of place" said Jenny.
"Jenny that's ok because I was going to suggest we get you some things anyway" said Chuck.
"Chuck I really don't have the mone…" said Jenny but Chuck interrupted.
"Jenny, what have I told you about money. I will be paying for it; you will not need a penny while you are with me. You are not to use your credit or debit cards or anything that could help identify you, understand?" said Chuck.
"Yes I understand, but it makes me uncomfortable. Look I don't really know how I feel about all this spy stuff. I like you Chuck, in fact I like you a lot, but this is all a little too much to take in, to know how I feel, and to take money from you well,… I feel dirty that I am taking advantage of you and that maybe I will feel obligated and I want to be able to make my own mind up without….." said Jenny.
"Jenny its ok, I know this is hard for you and I know you are stressing because you are babbling. But you do not have to worry about the money. I am not doing this because I expect you will be obligated to me in fact quite the opposite. I like you too, but my life is complicated and I guess when I first saw you at the reunion my heart was telling me that I had to see if you felt the same way and well you get the picture, but my head was telling me I need to let you go, you do not belong in my world. You could not like me knowing what I have done, even if I wanted to change all of that. Bottom line no obligation, now I'm babbling" said Chuck.
Jenny looked at Chuck, "What do you mean by change all of that?" asked Jenny.
"Well I have been doing what I have been doing for a while and I hate what I have become I want some normalcy, maybe a house a family a white picket fence. That's what I want, but maybe I don't deserve to ever have that kind of life" said Chuck.
Jenny could see the far away look in his eyes.
"Chuck lets just get over this current situation, then we can start thinking about what can happen in the future. I will promise you that I will not make any decisions about a future with or without you until after this is all over and we talk, as long as you do the same" said Jenny.
A smile came on his face. "Deal, I kind of thought you had already decided" said Chuck.
Jenny knows that his smile can have her agreeing to almost anything and she gives him one back.
They set out shopping for clothes.
"Jenny, so you don't feel stressed or anxious about how much things cost, here is some money. It is yours to spend on what you need, clothes and accessories wise until we get to Des Moines we will be going through Denver and Lincoln a day in each. We will be able to get some more things in Des Moines" said Chuck.
Jenny looked at the money.
"Chuck that is too much" said Jenny.
"Anything you don't spend you can keep so it's up to you, it is probably a good idea to have some cash on you anyway. There is ten thousand so plan wisely" said Chuck
"Chuck a thousand would be too much?" said Jenny.
"Jenny I will need you to not look out of place with someone that wouldn't care about dropping $30,000 in an evening. Otherwise we will attract attention" said Chuck.
"I think maybe five thousand on an outfit and accessories for tonight, four thousand on some other clothes or things for the next few days and keep a thousand for emergencies" said Chuck.
"What kind of emergencies?" asked Jenny.
"Well I have developed an escape plan in case we got separated" said Chuck.
"Why will we be separated? I thought you said you weren't going to let me out of your sight?" said Jenny concerned.
"Well if I find myself incapacitated you will need to leave me behind" said Chuck.
"No" said Jenny.
"Jenny, this is not a game. If something happens to me you will need to leave me. I will be ok knowing that you have gotten away" said Chuck.
"Chuck I couldn't live with myself if something happened to you" said Jenny.
"Jenny, you didn't ask me to help you. I didn't even offer, I am doing this because this is what I have to do. Please let me do this" said Chuck
Jenny could see his eyes were red and that this was important to him.
"Ok Chuck" said Jenny.
Chuck and Jenny had finished shopping, Jenny couldn't believe how good Chuck looked in a suit and Chuck's jaw hit the ground when he saw her in the red strapless dress she had chosen.
They got back in the car had it loaded up with all their purchases and headed towards the hotel.
"Jenny, just so you are not shocked, disgusted and all sorts of other feelings I need to let you know that we need to check in to one room. Otherwise we will attract attention and I need to keep an eye on you. But I will sleep on the floor and I will make the sacrifice to not sleep naked" said Chuck winking
"Chuck I guess I assumed that would be the case, and don't worry I'm ok. We could probably share the bed I can sleep under the sheet and you over" said Jenny.
"One other thing" said Chuck
"People need to think we are married" said Chuck with a forced smile.
"Oh" said Jenny and Chuck could see a blush spread on her face and then looked down at her hands.
"Yeah sorry, a married couple will not attract as much attention" said Chuck.
"Um won't it look a little funny without rings?" said Jenny.
"Um yes it would, which is why if you look in glove box you will find three ring boxes. One is a diamond engagement ring, another is a wedding ring for you and the final is one for me" said Chuck
"I know this is strange and I hope that you will be ok with it. If you are not we can just go for not married. Look the rings are just from the agency stock so nothing special it's not like they were my mothers or anything" said Chuck.
Jenny had mixed feelings but not for the reason that Chuck thought, she had sometimes dreamed of being married to Chuck, but this wasn't the way it was supposed to happen.
"No it's ok Chuck, should I put them on" said Jenny.
"Um yes please and if you could give me the one for me" said Chuck
Jenny opened the first box and saw a massive diamond solitaire staring at her it was a beautiful ring she was shaking as she took it out of the box and went to put it on her hand…
Chuck could see her hands shaking and he put his hand on her shoulder for support.
"Jenny probably better to put the wedding band on first" said Chuck.
"Oh" she said and had a little giggle.
"I am sorry just the ring has shocked me it is a lot bigger then I thought it would be" said Jenny.
She opened the next box and saw a beautiful band she put it on her finger and was surprised how well it fitted she was about to ask Chuck about it when she realised she had run out of breath as she had stopped breathing while putting the ring on.
She then put the engagement ring on and fitted almost perfectly
"Chuck these rings fit, that is pretty lucky, what if they were too small?" she said nervously while still looking down at them.
"Um sorry I had the Agency contracted Jeweler here to re-size for you" said Chuck.
"Um how did you know the size?" asked Jenny.
"Lucky guess" said Chuck.
Jenny opened the last box and saw the simple wedding band for Chuck and took it out of the box and was handing it to him.
The words 'With this ring I thee' went through her head until she stopped herself
They entered the hotel taking out all of the bags and purchases and checked in using one of his cover ID's and credit cards.
Jenny heard him check in as Robin Davis.
They both went to the lifts, Chuck was carrying one bag with the confiscated weapons in it the Bell Hop would bring up the rest.
Jenny was looking around the room and couldn't believe how expensive it looked.
"Chuck how much was this room for the night?" asked Jenny
"We need to look the part remember, someone staying in the cheap rooms will attract attention if he puts thirty G's on the table. Besides agency will be picking this up" said Chuck.
There was only one bed, but room for at least another five.
"Jenny suggest you grab a shower, then I will have mine and we will go down for dinner before we hit the floor" said Chuck.
Chuck waited patiently for Jenny to finish; he decided it was probably the time to start putting the rest of his plan together.
Chuck also had some other goodies put in the car that he has since transferred to his carry bag.
He started going through the bag and pulled out the ID packets he had created. It was amazing what the agency could get together with little time. He had them pull Jenny's California Drivers License photo to make up a couple of drivers licenses, credit cards and two passports.
They had even photo-shopped the photo so she was wearing different colored clothes in some of the photos one of the passports and license also had her with brunette hair.
All the cover ID's except for one matched Chucks ID's so the cover as husband and wife was tight. That reminded Chuck he needed to let Jenny know that her name was Jenny Davis wife of Robin Davis wealthy software developer.
Chuck took one set of ID's out and created a go bag for Jenny, it included one thousand in cash License, Credit Card and Passport; this was the ID with the Brunette hair so he also threw in the pack of hair dye that he purchased, while out shopping before they checked in.
He got a credit card and license out for Jenny's 'Jenny Davis' cover put the elastic band around it put it on the bed and then looked at the weapon he had removed from the safety deposit box it, was a Sig Sauer P229 checked it and the spare clips of ammunition then put back in the bag ensuring the safety was still on.
He thought about what the plan would be when they got to Chicago and how he would be able to protect Jenny and carry out the take down of the Ajala crime family, hopefully recovering her father still breathing. Chuck could not be sure what condition he will be found in if alive at all.
Chuck made some phone calls using one of the phones he received from the agency and had his plan set in motion. Chuck knew that he needed to take his time getting to Chicago and unfortunately that meant having to rely on others for his plan to succeed.
Chuck spoke to his Director and had been given official access to agency resources to complete this operation but has been requested to provide details to the FBI that is currently investigating the family after he has completed the operation.
A/N: Yeah ok not a big surprise that Chuck is a CIA Agent. Please review, let me know what you think I was hoping to maybe break the 100 reviews before the next chapter but it wasn't to be.
