I still don't own Chuck. Not sure who does at this point. Maybe Subway.

It's time for Team B to go on the attack – but Chuck and Sarah have some problems to solve. It's up to the rest of the team to keep the bad guys occupied until they can get there to help.

The scariest thing that you will ever do is tell someone that you love them – and mean it.

I'll be sure to post warnings on chapters that have violent or sexual situations. I'm going to keep this T – but I might dance on the edge for a bit.

Killer Sex

x-x-x-x-x

If Janice was mad when she heard about the plot to use Kate, Sarah was several times that. She was so furious that Chuck just wisely let her vent for a few minutes. She was throwing things around the room. Chuck himself had to duck more than once. But when she started throwing clothes in her suitcase, Chuck grabbed her hands.

"Sarah, wait," Chuck finally said gently. "I know that you're frantic right now. But we have some very real problems. We don't know who these guys are or what they really want. If we just show up back in Washington and kill Shaw, they'll realize that we're aware of what's going on. They'll just withdraw. Then, they'll come up with some other plan and have surprise back with them again. We need to draw them out – and then crush them."

"Okay," Sarah said. "Yes, I agree with all of that. But this is all happening in Washington. We have to be there as soon as possible. Katie…"

"Is safe," Chuck said softly. "Trust me. I'm just as protective of Kate as you are – probably more. She's my little girl. I can't bear the thought of anything happening to her any more than you can. But the simple truth is that she couldn't be in any better hands. Janice and Casey are right next door. They are itching to kill someone just as badly as you are. And they love her just as much as we do. Who would you trust more than them? We have to do this right."

"I understand," Sarah sighed. "Yes, Casey and Janice love her. They would do anything to protect her. I'm not questioning that. But I'm her mom. I just need to hold her."

"She sounded so sad when she told us about Paul," Chuck said.

For the first time, Sarah got the hint of a twinkle in her eye. "That wasn't what it sounded like," she said. "I don't think you caught what she was trying to say. I know her. She wasn't sad for herself. She was apologizing to you."

"Apologizing?" Chuck asked. "Why would she need to apologize to me?"

"Because she thinks that you like Paul," Sarah said. "She is feeling badly because she was afraid that she let you down. That you would be disappointed with her about Paul."

"Why on earth would she think that?" Chuck asked in amazement. "I just want Kate to be happy. I'm so pissed at Paul right now that I could strangle him."

"You don't know how much your little girl worships you," Sarah with a sad smile. "She has stayed with Paul for a long time because she thought that's what you would want."

"Sarah," Chuck said. "Come on. That's crazy. That makes me feel horrible. We included Paul into the family stuff because he was with Kate."

"I know," Sarah said. "But she thinks that you like him. She feels bad for you. I just figured that out when she was talking. I just want to get back there and meet this new guy."

"This new guy," Chuck said. "It's awfully fast. It kinda sounds like a rebound thing, doesn't it?"

Sarah just shook her head. "It's not a rebound thing," she said. "I'm sure of that. That's not Kate. Did you hear her voice change when she started telling us about him? He must be incredible. Kate was whispering and pretty excited so I'm not sure that I heard her right. But I think she said that he's the one. If that's true, then she'll want to get us to approve of him. I really want to meet him."

"Me too," Chuck smiled. "For Kate to fall that hard - that fast… he must really be special. Janice says they're as sickening together as you and I are. This I have to see. It's hard to imagine Kate acting like that. She's always so… reserved."

Sarah smiled knowingly. "Not really reserved," she said. "She just was never comfortable with PDA. Kind of like her father. And that should have been a bigger clue to us that Paul wasn't the right guy for her. But when you meet the right person…"

"Aren't you surprised about Paul?" Chuck asked with a sigh.

"I am," Sarah said thoughtfully. "But, then again, I'm really not. I could tell in Vegas that after our talk she was starting to look at him differently. I'm disappointed that he would cheat on her… and the thing with Elise… well that was just stupid. He deserved what she gave him – and more. If I ever get a shot at him…"

Chuck laughed. "I would have given a month's pay to see Elise kick his ass," he said. "I'll bet he never dreamed in a million years that was coming."

"Chuck Junior broke his hand," Sarah smiled. "Those two kids… they've always pretended that they can't stand each other. It's really funny. Well, when it's not annoying."

"You should have taught him to punch," Chuck said. "It might have come in handy."

"I never wanted the boys to have any part of this life," Sarah said. "But now that we have to tell them, maybe it wouldn't be such a bad thing if they had some minimal skills."

"You are going to scare the crap out of them," Chuck said. "You scare me when we train."

"I know," Sarah said. "I get too intense. Maybe I'll ask Elise to work with them. I'll bet they'd enjoy that."

"Chuck Junior and Bryce are probably already freaked out right about now," Chuck said with a soft grin. "They have the secure phone that General Beckman gave them. You should call them for a minute. After all, they drove your car. They are probably imagining the guillotine cutting off their heads right about now."

Sarah sat for a moment and thought about her two sons. What the night they must have had. She was worried about them – but also unbelievably proud. "They really came through. Chuck, they saved the day. We'd be dead without them. Can you believe it?"

"Absolutely," Chuck said. "Elise used her head too. But I've never had any question about any of the kids. They are tough – like their mother."

"No," Sarah whispered with a soft smile. "They're smart like their dad." Suddenly, she was overwhelmed by the need to wrap her arms around them. That's when her eyes began to fill with tears. "Chuck," she whispered. "I want to go home."

"I know," Chuck said. "Me too - but we have to do it right."

"Okay, sweetie," Sarah sighed as she wiped her eyes. "Of course… you're right. Let's talk business. We've known about this plot for a whole ten minutes. You must have come up with a plan by now. Let's hear it."

Chuck grinned. "Well," he said. "It's clear. First, we have to end our mission. We need a legitimate reason to go back to Washington."

In spite of the situation, Sarah couldn't help but smile at Chuck's mood. "How are we going to do that?" she said. "Our mission is to find DeVan. He doesn't exist. Should we make someone up?"

"That wouldn't work," Chuck said. "Shaw knows that DeVan doesn't exist. No, the only way to end our mission believably is if something were to happen to our only contact. If Yuri Asimov were to die – we'd have no reason to be here."

Sarah's smile turned into a grin. "Thank you," she said. "I finally get to kill that sick bastard. Are you sure that this isn't just because of the other night?"

Chuck grinned and shrugged his shoulders. "Two birds – one stone," he said. "You know how much that efficiency appeals to me."

"How should we do it?" Sarah asked with a laugh. "I could just shoot him."

"That's too obvious," Chuck said. "They would know that we'd figured him out. If we could get someone else to shoot him, that might work. But I don't know how to do that – and even if we could figure out a way, it would take too long. Besides, I'd really like to talk to this guy first. I bet he knows something. And it would be great to let Shaw think that his scheme was working. It would encourage him to keep going with his plan."

Sarah groaned. "I can see where this is going," she said.

"I'm really sorry," Chuck said with a smile. "You know that I am. But I'm afraid that it's time for us to use our main weapon. It's time to give our mark some killer sex."

x-x-x-x-x

Chuck Junior sat in the Safe Room and breathed a huge sigh of relief. Talking to Mom was just what he needed. It's too bad that Bryce was in school. Even as tired as they both were, it was important to keep up appearances. But Bryce was the one who was the most worried – especially about taking Mom's car. It would have done him a ton of good to hear her voice saying that it was okay. Oh well, he could tell Bryce about it.

Frankly, they both felt pretty guilty. And that had nothing to do with taking Mom's car. Thinking, even for a second, that dad might be a crook had been silly. Grandma Beckman wouldn't tell them much. She said that should come from their parents. But she did say that, once they found out the truth, they would be very, very proud. So that probably ruled out pimp and hooker.

Mom didn't tell him much more. Just that the situation was very serious – and there were almost certainly some very bad people watching their every move. She spent a long time making sure that her boys would be careful – not afraid, but careful. She promised to sit down with both of them and explain things when she got home. But all that did was fan the flames of curiosity. Oh, and she did tell him to tell Bryce how incredibly proud that she was of them both – and how very much she loved and missed them. Mom didn't get emotional like that often. So it really meant something when she did.

Chuck Junior was absolutely dying to call Kate – but at least he knew that she was now safe. That was a major relief. He had been horribly worried about her. She had enough on her mind trying to get Aunt Janice elected President. And then to find out that her boyfriend was cheating on her. She was one tough cookie. Of course, he could never, ever tell her that. She would tease him about it incessantly.

Maybe he'd call her later. After all, she now had a secure phone. Let's see. Midnight here is three in the morning there. That might work. After all, he hadn't had a chance to pay her back for her early morning call the other day. He hadn't even had a chance to rib her about being a Beltway Babe yet. Of course, that was such a hanging curve ball that he might just let her sweat about it for a while. Maybe she would even let him talk to the new guy. It would be interesting to get her to admit that he was there at three in the morning. That would be fuel enough for some good natured teasing. But she probably would never let him talk to the guy – she knew the stories he would tell him. That's okay, if he was really the one like Mom said, she couldn't hide him forever. He could wait. After all – paybacks were a bitch.

x-x-x-x-x

Kate felt a lot better after actually talking to her parents. But she was a little worried about Alex. He was clearly deep in thought. He hadn't said a word since Uncle Casey and Aunt Janice had left. He was clearly shocked when Uncle Casey swept the apartment for bugs. That was the first tip off that the situation was serious. Kate was trying to judge his mood as they snuggled together on the sofa. But finally, she had to know. "Are you okay?" she asked. "I know that's a lot to hit you with."

"I don't want to do this," Alex said. His voice was so soft that Kate had to strain to hear him. "I always wondered why Julie was so eager to go to lunch tomorrow. She always treated me like I was invisible. Besides, we just got together. Now they want me to cheat on you?"

"They don't want you to cheat on me," Kate said. "Nobody wants that. Alex, going to lunch with someone isn't cheating. They want you to play a role. Just like I'll eventually be doing."

Alex got quiet for a moment. "I don't want that to happen either," he finally said.

Kate looked at Alex. The look on his face was heart breaking. "I know," she said softly. "I don't either. But these guys have to be stopped. I promise that nothing is really going to happen. I'm just going to dance with a couple of guys. Maybe flirt a little. You'll be right there with me all the time. Uncle Casey is going to be watching us every second. Trust me, Alex. He would never let anything happen to me. We're just making them think that their stupid plan might be working."

"But we just got together," Alex whispered sadly. "Kate, I don't want you to think that I consider you a possession. It's not like that. I just don't want to see you flirting with guys. That's hard. I'm sorry that I'm being this way."

"What way is that?" Kate asked with a smile as she reached over to kiss him. "Unbelievably sweet? There is not a thing wrong with not wanting to see your girlfriend flirting with someone. Believe me, Alex. I don't want to think about you alone with Julie either. But I also trust you that nothing will really happen. It will be a long night – for both of us. We'll just have to make it up to each other."

Alex got quiet for a long moment. Kate was beginning to think that he fell asleep. "They probably seduced him," he finally said. He was again speaking so softly that Kate could barely hear him.

"Him?" Kate asked. "Who are you talking about?"

"Your boyfriend," Alex said sadly. "That Paul guy. That's why he broke up with you. They fooled him. They probably lied to him about what you were doing. These guys may be evil – but they're not stupid. This is well planned out. They got rid of your parents. Then they got rid of your boyfriend."

Kate lifted her head from Alex's shoulder to be able to look at him. "Okay," she said. "So?"

"That probably changes things," Alex said sadly.

Kate suddenly realized what Alex was really getting at. That's what he was honestly worried about. If Paul was being manipulated, perhaps she should forgive him. Alex was worried that she was going back with Paul. His insecurity was very cute – but a little of it would go a long way. "Hey," she said. "I want to tell you something. And I want you to hear me, okay?"

Alex nodded.

"No Alex," Kate insisted. "I really want you to hear me. This is important."

"Okay," Alex said.

"I would have had a hard time breaking up with Paul," she said. "I mean, loyalty is very important to me. Paul and I were together for five years. It's just something that you get used too. I can't tell you that I would have broken up with him this quickly. I probably wouldn't have. We would probably technically still be together."

Alex nodded sadly.

"But I would have been miserable," Kate said. "I have been for the past six months. And that was before I met you. I would have been going crazy with guilt. I would have been falling in love with you and not be able to do anything about it. Alex, I need you to know something - I'm crazy about you. And I know that you're worried that somehow you're my rebound, second choice. That is so not true. I'll admit that for the first few days, I compared everything about you to Paul. But I stopped. It was silly. There was no comparison. What I feel for you simply isn't in the same league. So, I understand getting jealous of other guys. But, Alex, I'm begging you to get over being jealous of Paul. I would have eventually figured it out. I promise. I'll do anything you want to convince you of that."

Kate breathed a sigh of relief as she saw the smile spread across Alex's face. "Yes, Alex," she said with her own grin. "Their evil plot has worked. I've become that girl - the slutty girl that they wanted to turn me into. But the joke is on them – because I'm only going to be that girl with you. I'm now the girl who will use sex to keep you so exhausted that you won't have any time or energy to be jealous. So I understand completely what I just said. I meant anything. Except this time I expect you to take full advantage of it. I trust you to come up with something a little more interesting than putting in a good word for you with Senator Casey. As a matter of fact, I'm hoping that this is one of those things that we never have to tell Senator Casey."

Kate could clearly see the red traveling up Alex's face. It was beyond cute.

"Umm," Alex said cautiously. "Anything? Could I spend the night?"

Kate inwardly groaned. "Alex Regal," she said in mock disgust. "What am I going to do with you? Didn't you just hear my slutty girl speech? The one where I said you were going to be too exhausted to think about being jealous? Do you really think I would let you leave tonight – or any other night? After we're done… let's go to your place and pack some clothes. Now, come on, Alex. I know you're shy. But, in case you haven't noticed, I'm throwing myself at you. What's the matter? Don't you find me attractive?"

"Are you kidding?" Alex gasped out. "You're the most beautiful girl I've ever seen. You're a Beltway Babe."

"Thank you," Kate said with a grin. "But surely you can think of something that the newest Beltway Babe can do as a gesture for the guy she happens to be crazy in love with. Consider it a challenge."

Now there could be no mistaking the grin on his face. "Remember the night you passed out?" he asked. "And you sort of stripped?"

Kate nodded. "How could I forget?" she asked. "It was only two nights ago. It was the first time I've ever done anything like that. I had to get drunk to be able to do it."

"Well," Alex continued. "My biggest dream was that someday you would do that when you were sober. But I don't want you to do anything that you don't…"

"Okay, Alex," Kate said with a laugh. "Stop. I'm sitting here begging you to give me something to do for you. I would have been embarrassed before – but not any more. We're together now. In fact, I'll bet I enjoy it more than you do. That is actually pretty tame. But I guess we can start out slow."

"Let me get this straight," Alex said. "The most beautiful girl in the world and the love of my life is going to put on a sexy show for me and all I have to do is get over being jealous? Which is something that I'm stupid for being anyway?"

"Pretty much," Kate said. "Sounds like a pretty good deal when you put it that way, huh? Thanks for the compliment. It was sweet. You're the love of my life too. Are you ready?"

"I guess," Alex said. "Tell me something. Are your parents going to like me?"

Kate smiled and grabbed his hand. "They are going to love you," she said. "Because I do. You've already won over Uncle Casey. Trust me. If you can get him to like you, everyone else is a snap."

"You dad sounds fun," Alex said. "Does he always come up with these outrageous plans?"

Kate couldn't keep the silly grin off her face as she turned up the music and began to dance. "Apparently so," was all she could sigh. "You know that I've never done this before? I might mess up."

Alex just laughed. "Like I would know if you messed up," he said.

Yuri Asimov had just hit the jackpot. He wasn't sure what price Shaw was going to demand of him. Oh, there surely would be one. Shaw wasn't the type of man who forgot when you owed him a favor. But anything up to and including giving up a kidney was worth it. Sarah Walker had finally agreed. She must really be getting desperate. Shaw told him that she would. It was actually worth the kidney just to hear her plead with him in front of those men.

And the truly funny part was that he was giving up nothing. The group of men that he was going to introduce her to tomorrow had nothing to do – well, with anything really. It was just the group of guys that he played cards with every Thursday.

This was going to be so great. He had her – they both knew it. Oh, she kept trying to negotiate – but Yuri knew that she was buffing. She had no choice. His ten year wait was finally over.

Walker was clearly nervous as she led him down the hallway. He insisted that she take his hand as they left the club. So that every person there would know where they were going – and why. Once they were into her room, she instantly started again with the silly negotiations.

"Please, Yuri," Sarah pleaded. "I'll give you sex. But please let me do it with some dignity. Don't make me do this. I'm begging you. Have a little pity."

Yuri just grinned. "This is business," he growled. "You want my help – you will pay my price. There is no room for pity here."

"Actually," Chuck said as he came out of the bedroom holding a gun. "I'm glad you feel that way, Yuri. We quite agree. It makes what we're about to do guilt free, doesn't it darling?"

Sarah smiled at her husband. He only called her darling on a mission – and in front of a mark.

Yuri really had no place to go. He quickly felt the three tranq darts hit his chest – and then quickly he felt nothing. The blackness quickly consumed him."

"Well," Sarah said with a grin. "That was easy – disgusting, but easy."

"Yup," Chuck said with his own grin. "Like he was going to turn down a chance at bagging Sarah Walker. Let's tie him up, bring him too, and see what he knows. You have the drug?"

"Right here," Sarah said as she handed Chuck a dart. "Let's hurry and give this guy his heart attack. I want to go home."
