Frost who was waiting for the explosion so she could remove Chuck and force Larkin to appear was recognized by a few security guards. Quickly she relocated outside the building. She waited and saw Sarah Walker who she knew was Graham's Wildcard Enforcer leave the hospital. She waited some more and saw another subject leave. She had placed tracers on both and was waiting to see where each went before attempting something else.
As she monitored she heard a small clip of some intelligible words. She pulled out her PDA fashioned on the tech of Orion that Alexi had stolen. She placed the file into the device and after 10 mins of analyzing she heard two words Bryce Larkin. That confirmed Frost's suspicion that Larkin was in the area. Alexi would be so proud to know that she would be the one to capture the Human Intersect when all the rest of the trash was searching in Havana.
Frost looked at the tracer and it had stopped at an apt complex in Echo Park. She smiled that must be the safe house where Bryce Larkin was staying. She started her car then moved without any backup to the suspected location. Frost was very confident she would encounter not much resistance. She knew she was the best at what she did that is why Alexi allowed her such freedom.
She stopped the car and looked over the situation. She found the storm sewer and followed it to a secreted door.
Ah so predictable she thought as she easily gained entrance to the tunnel. She felt sort of a familiarity of the construction but dismissed that thought since she now was at the wall. It looked blank but looks could be deceiving. She closed her eyes then felt the air currents. She found what she needed and defeating the locking mechanism was child's play.
She entered the basement then looked around. It was a fully equipped Dojo. She had a flash of recognition. It was her and a small child. Frost immediately refused to entertain that idea…She had never been married. She had no children. She was loyal to only one man Alexi Volkoff. She crept into the stairs leading to the upper floor.

Ellie was awoken by the proximity alarm. She quickly dressed in her Ninja Suit then grabbing her trusty bo stick she crept silently out their bedroom. At first she thought Bryce was trying to slip out but when she crack open Chuck's Door he was flat out cold. So that meant one other thing an intruder. Ellie crept into the alarm room then switched on the IR cameras. There she saw the intruder in the Basement. Ellie moved to the kitchen then carefully opened the door and slipped into the first landing going down to the basement. She waited until the intruder was in sight then she sprang on the intruder. She tried to take the easy way but the intruder seemed to anticipate that move and twisted to have Ellie thrown on the ground. Ellie recovered with a flip as the intruder took one of the bo sticks off the wall.
Ellie used the stick by planting it and she swung her legs out and caught the intruder in the midsection. A clatter of a weapon was heard on the floor. Ellie's surprise attack lost Frost her favorite gun. In the dark she was not going to be able to find it so using the bo stick she struck out where she thought her opponent was. She only found air and brought her off balance. Ellie sensing the attack jumped in the air somersaulted and landed on her feet then spun a round house kick which caught Frost in the middle of the back. Frost recovered to send a kick of her own but again she was too slow Ellie had jumped and was clinging to the ceiling.
Frost recovered and stopped all movement trying desperately to locate the opponent. Ellie stayed very quiet and heard the intruder shuffle her feet. That told Ellie she was directly below her. Dropping from the ceiling Ellie executed a flying kick which connected with the Intruder's lower jaw instantly forcing her into the air and was out cold. Frost was surprised by the ferocity of her opponent. Ellie immediately dropped on the unconscious intruder and tie wrapped the intruder then switched on the lights,
"So let me see who are you?" Ellie said when removing the mask.
"OH NO IT CAN NOT BE!" she yelled.
At this point Devon had awoken then rushed to the basement to see his wife crying and a person prone cuffed to the Dojo equipment.
"Ellie what is wrong?" Devon said as he called Sarah to get her over here immediately. He comforted his wife as much as he could. Ellie was not speaking but kept pointing at the unconscious prisoner.

Sarah having finished her conversation with the General was speaking to Orion when he disappeared.
Typical she thought then her phone rang.
"Hello Devon? Yes I will be there right away…No I don't think we have to move either Chuck or Bryce…You sure it is Frost? Ok I'll contact Casey. You stay there. I'm coming." Sarah said as she loaded up the trank guns.
Sarah holstered the guns then pulled out her other phone.
"Yeah Walker what is going on you are interrupting my Reagan marathon." Casey said.
"Listen Casey…Frost broke in to Woodcomb's apt. You need to move Chuck now! Get him to Castle!" Sarah said.
"Great the Moron just passed out doing a healing trance I doubt I can awaken him." Casey groused.
"Casey at least get him moved to another room. Frost found him others in the Volkoff organization could do so too. I doubt Frost is all alone on this one." Sarah said starting up her car.
Casey could hear the squeal of the tires as she gunned the engine. He thought Walker had forgotten about the call. He hung up then called in the nurses and complained about how unsuitable this room was. He wanted another room pronto.
The nurses found him a bigger room then moved Chuck into elevator when Yuri the Gobbler came into the previous room and found it empty. Casey in the elevator going to the new room pressed the basement. He might have figured out a plan to get Chuck safely away. They entered the morgue and Casey found a body bag. He placed Chuck into it and pulled off a toe tag from one of the number of corpses found down there.
Checking the computer this guy was heading to a mortuary. Casey pushed the gurney with Chuck to the loading dock and the Mortuary driver helped load Chuck into the hearse. The driver turned his back to fill out the paperwork. Casey chucked his doctor coat then sped off in the hearse. They got to Castle and Casey carried Chuck into the infirmary.
\\\\\
Casey ran to the view screen to talk to the General.
Chuck on the other hand was being removed from the bag he was transported. The hearse was wiped clean and returned to the hospital. The police chalked it off to kids joyriding. Since several loose empty beer containers were left in the vehicle to give that impression. The hospital apologized for the mix up and brought the right person to the hearse.
Chuck awoke to see Ellie hovering over him. Then he looked to his left and saw his Father standing there.
"Dad…Ellie where am I?" Chuck said.
"Chuck we had to move you…You are safe back in Castle" Ellie said.
"Charles we have some news…Stephen said "…But first how are you feeling?"
Chuck felt refreshed the mind healing trance did wonders and he was feeling tingling in his left foot.
"Ellie I'm feeling good and I think I feel something from my left foot." Chuck responded.
"That's Aces Charles Simply Aces Son." Stephen said.
"So what is the news?" Chuck asked.
Ellie looked at her Father then back at Chuck then spoke.
"We've captured Frost…" Ellie began.
"You did that is great! What not so Great…?" Chuck backpedalled when he saw their downturned expressions. "What is wrong?"
"Charles…Frost is not your Mother as you knew her…She is changed." Stephen said.
"Yes I figured that out when she tried to blow me up…I know Frost is not one of the good guys…The question now is can she be changed back?" Chuck asked.
"I think so but I need to locate the Agent X device which Graham had. I've been tracing it to another Agent named Decker. I believe he has the device." Stephen said.
"Dad can you not recreate it with your own tech?" Chuck asked.
"I suppose if given enough time I could but we need to be wary she has all the CIA knowledge." Stephen said.
"Chuck you designed the security for Castle…Is there any way she could get a message out to Volkoff?" Ellie asked. "This is important. I can not keep her totally tranked all the time."
Chuck reviewed how Frost was able to infiltrate Castle by having the override codes only LARA prevented the breech. He searched his brilliant mind and found no flaw he could think in the security then brought out his PDA to interface with LARA. He posed the same question to the AI. The response was quick.
"There was no known weakness inherent in the security protocols." LARA said.
"Hey that sounds like Sarah" Ellie exclaimed never hearing LARA speak before.
Chuck looked a little sheepish then explained how LARA did use Sarah's voice when interfacing but it is not the only voice it can use. Stephen listened intently on how his Son did create the AI. Stephen could not help but grin over his Son's achievement. He noticed a few things to improve the efficiency of his AI back at the cave.
"Ellie can you get me a wheelchair? I want to go look at the woman that appears like my Mother." Chuck said.
"Ah sure Chuck I'm calling Casey. He needs to be with you." Ellie said.
Casey arrived then placed him in the wheelchair. Chuck wheeled himself out of the infirmary to the special holding cells designed for special prisoners. Chuck stopped in front of the clear screen then stared at the woman in the cell. She was greyer than he remembered but still very recognizable as Mary Bartowski his Mother.
"What have they done to you?" Chuck said.
