-- Chuck Vs the Bunker Chapter 2 --
Agent Snow took the seat offered by the Director and scanned the room. It wasn't what he'd expected. Sure, there was the usual mahogany desk and furnishings along with the normal selection of awards and books he associated with his superior's offices, but scattered among these were something's that stood out. An old TRON poster hung in an expensive hardwood frame against the far wall. Clearly much loved, the other awards including a degree from Stanford had obviously been hung around it. On the opposite book shelf, between military manuals and engineering text stood what Snow recognised as an old Megatron toy, next to it sat an old and much worn Nintendo console and a small wax lion with a smooched face.
Snow also noticed the large number of photos scattered around the room. One was of a beachside wedding with a much younger Director standing next to the bride and groom alongside a stunning blonde. The next picture was of the Director and same blonde at there own wedding. Ah so that is the famous Sarah Carmichael, thought Snow. More pictures showed the Director shaking hands with senators and the President at Crystal Peak. Another was of him standing in a kitchen hugging a bearded chef, who looked somehow familiar, and an Asian woman in a smart suit.
The Director smiling at Snow's interest said "I knew your father, good man"
"Yes Sir, He speaks very highly of you too Director"
"Call me Chuck" he replied leaning forward "Now tell me all you know about the intersect project"
Snow didn't know what to say. The intersect project was a myth, a bogyman story used to scare recruits at the academy. It was like being asked your opinion of Bigfoot.
"Sir, Are you serious?"
Chuck and Sarah entered the room as Casey climbed through the window.
"Casey, what's going on?" Sarah started.
"I could ask you the same thing. Nice threads by the way Walker"
Chuck and Sarah exchange nervous glances but said nothing. "Save it, I'm not here to talk about your Lady feelings, look at this" Casey continued turning on Chuck's TV and accessing the surveillance feed. An image appeared on the screen of the outside of the apartment complex.
"See the white van" indicating one parked half way up the street. "Been there all night, and that's not all" The image change to an exterior view of the Buy More time-stamped from the previous day. "There" said Casey pointing to the same van parked mid way between Buy More and Orange Orange. "And there" The image changed to an interior shot of a restaurant. Chuck recognised it from their last double date with Elle and Awesome, The same van visible in the window behind them.
"What?! Casey, what does this mean? What do we do?" said Chuck starting to panic.
"We follow protocol numb nuts. I'll brief General Beckman, you two stop your idiot friends from leaving" a pause "Unless you want them kidnapped and tortured by whoever's out there?"
At that Chuck rushed out of the room. Sarah turned to follow before Casey spoke. "Walker". Sarah stopped and looked back at her partner as he added "Get your head in the game".
Morgan and Anna were arguing when Chuck and Sarah walked in to the living room. Jeff, Lester and Devon now sat watching the scene from the sofa. Elle, clearly unsure of what to do, was standing at the sidelines with a bowl of cereal.
"Guys, Guys, Lets just calm down" said Chuck raising his hands
"Back off Chuckles, Nome boy is dead meat." replied Anna adopting a fighting stance.
"Whoa there, No need to get violent" Chuck said stepping between the couple.
"You tell her Chuck" said Morgan from behind him. Chuck threw his friend a look over his shoulder and hissed "You're not helping"
"Hey Jon, what are you doing here?" said Elle as John Casey stormed into the room from the hallway. "Ohmygod, He's got a gun!?" All eyes turned to the big man.
John ignored their looks and stepped up to Sarah and handed her the nine millimetre "anyone try's to leave shoot them" then turning to Chuck "Change of plans Bartowski, you're gonna want to hear this". Picking up the remote Casey switched on the TV revealing the familiar face of General Beckman.
"Whoa, who's the old lady" chipped in Morgan.
"Bartowski, I'll get straight to the point. Your cover has been compromised. I'm afraid we are going to have to take you in. A tactical team will be arriving shortly to escort you to a secured facility accompanied by agents Casey and Walker.
Shocked Chuck indicating the others in the room, "What about my friends, my family?"
"For their own protection they will be brought in to custody as well." Beckman said levelly.
"Chuck, whats going on?" said Elle coming to Chuck's side. Turning to her and placing hands on her shoulders he started "I'm sorry Ell" and Sarah added "we can explain everything" before Elle stopped her with an icy glare. Turning back to Chuck "What is this? What's going on? Chuck talk to me!" said Elle angrily.
"Dr Woodcomb, I suggest you get your good wife under control" injected Casey taking out another pistol from behind his back. Devon seeing the gun stepped forward and took Elle by the arm. Turning to her husband Elle stopped on seeing Devon's face "You knew about this, didn't you?"
"Very funny Chuck, good joke, You had me for a minute there" said Morgan making a beeline for the door before Sarah intervened pointing the pistol at his head. "Sorry Morgan, no joke." Seeing the sudden fear in his face she lowered the weapon slightly. "It's for your own protection, I can't let you leave". Anne pulled Morgan away and stood between him and Sarah. "Back off my boyfriend bitch"
"Whoa guys, we're all friends here. Casey, Sarah put away the guns ok."
Sarah lowered her gun but stayed blocking the door whilst Casey moved to get a view out the window. "Here they come" he said nodding to Sarah who turned and opened the door.
An agent in full tactical gear stepped in and walked up to Chuck. "Special Agent Carmichael, I'm Agent Snow. My men are here to escort you to Crystal Peak. Please follow me"
