CHUCK VERSUS AGENT INSANITY

Chapter X

Yet Another One

Chuck was still like paralyzed.

Now Carina dropped her left hand and turned to Sarah, pointing the gun in her right hand at her.

"I'm really sorry, Sarah. We were like friends but I have orders to eliminate you." Carina sounded deadly serious.

Chuck wasn't able to see the left half of her face now. Carina was winking at Sarah with her left eye, trying to signal that this is a game.

But Sarah didn't notice. She was so groggy.

Carina had prepared for that. She had installed a camera so that it recorded her face in the whole episode. Later, she would show it to Sarah and say, see I was telling you it's a game.

She went on: "Now the Intersect will be ours. Good bye, Sarah!'

Carina pretended to prepare to shoot. If she had to, she would shoot left of poor Sarah.

Was Chuck flashing? She turned her head to the right.

Greeat. Chuck was staggering. Eyes still unfocused.

'A bit too slowly, Chuck, too slowly.' She thought.

Chuck rushed toward her and kicked the gun off her right hand.

Carina threw the second gun away and took her favorite fighter position.

"OK, Chuck, I see. I'll have to disable you first before I dispose of the sleeping blondie. The future Mrs Bartowski. Too bad it's not gonna happen. Ts, ts, ts …'

'But you are coming with me one way or the other.' She went on and attacked him.

'You know,' she talked to him while they were fighting, breathing heavily. 'I drugged Sarah, that's why she can't move.'

They fought for about 10 minutes.

He was good, the Bruce Lee technique was the right choice for his physique.

But he lacked the strength, the stamina. It was his untrained body after all.

Initially, he was having some edge over her, but not enough to disable her. He had managed to hit her several times more than she him. Be he was losing steam. Getting visibly tired by the minute.

She became more aggressive now. It was time to finish this. His reactions were getting slower and slower, punches weaker and weaker.

She swept his leg, he lost balance and she put him down on the floor, face to the ground. She took a pair of handcuffs from the back of her pants and cuffed him.

She was lying over him because he was still resisting.

'Chuck, now I'll turn you on your back.' She whispered in his ear still breathing heavily. She was feeling excited now, but it wasn't the right time, place, nothing was right for her now.

So she said again, 'Don't do anything funny.' She had to check first if he had recovered from the kung fu mode.

She turned and sat on him, like riding.

He was gradually getting back to normal.

'Listen, this was evaluation of your new abilities, I was authorized by Beckman. Sarah is OK there. Must be sleeping. I had to use her to trigger the flash.'

She was pressing his shoulders to the ground, as he was still slightly resisting.

She approached his left ear and whispered, "We are on the same side, remember? I'm only your sister, did you forget that?' She kissed him lightly on his forehead.

He had stopped resisting.

'Tomorrow Beckman will confirm it to you. Now I'll get up to help you. Then uncuff your hands. Don't do anything funny. You are out of your kung fu mode and I don't want to kick your ass in front of the future Pani Bartowska, OK?'

'OK, Carina.'

She helped him stand up, and then uncuffed him.

'I'm really sorry but we had to do this. We have to know how good you are at protecting yourself. And your future colleagues. If we are to inject you in a dangerous operation, we have to know.'

'Let's go move Sarah to the bedroom. We don't want to leave her there all night, do we?'

During their fight they had moved away from her to the opposite end of the suite.

Yes, she was already sleeping.

Chuck and Carina dragged the sleeping Sarah into the bedroom and put her down on the bed.

'Now what you evil manipulator?' asked Chuck. 'What follows next?' He wasn't ready to forgive her this last outrage so easily.

'Well, to the best of my knowledge, Sarah doesn't like sleeping with her clothes. Will you help me undress her or you'd rather do that yourself?' she smirked.

She was teasing him again.

'Carina, I'm too exhausted now for your games, okay?', he was raising his tone now. 'How many times a day do you have to cross the line?'

'Point taken", she was serious now. "Pick where you want to sleep. Here with Sarah, or on the coach. Her tone was business like."
