Disclaimer: Chuck doesn't belong to me.
A/N: Thank you to all those that have reviewed so far. The reviews certainly help to keep me focused
I know that some of you were concerned of Chuck's and Sarah's Attitude to Killing, while I didn't make it clear last Chapter Sarah was not herself at all, and Chuck is not doing too well over it.
Chapter 10 – Well what now?
"Mr Burton, you crossed the wrong people in this town, and pissed them off" said Chuck.
"Hang on hang on, there heads blew up, I have their brains plastered all over me" what the hell happened?" asked Jack Burton.
"Sarah just saved your life, those men you were with, had hired a hitman to deal with you, and they wanted to be centre stage when he did" replied Chuck.
"No, if they hired someone to kill me why did they end up taking them out, it doesn't make sense" said Jack Burton.
"Dad, Chuck took care of the hitman and it was him with the rifle that took out the men. Dad it was Chuck that saved you, I failed, Chuck is the only reason why either of us are alive" said Sarah.
"Chuck, are you ok, you just killed four men, hang on what happened to Oscar?" asked Sarah.
Sarah was scared the effect this would have on Chuck she didn't want him to change, 'how was he able to do it, he did it so quickly.'
"Well it was a slight change of plans, there was a dead prostitute in his bed. I only left him unconscious, by the time he comes to he will have an awful lot of explaining to do to the police." said Chuck.
"What if he can identify you?" asked Sarah
"I wore my mask all the time, he would be lucky to be able to identify me as human let alone anything else. I used a couple of flash bangs on him before I entered the room" said Chuck.
"Oh, ok good thinking" replied Sarah.
'I know I really screwed the pooch with this one but how could Chuck be so controlled and so professional. He is listed on Forbes top ten but he takes out four armed men with a sniper rifle while I only take out one. Chuck still didn't answer me about if he was ok'
"Chuck, how could you do it, you didn't even hesitate?" said Sarah.
"Sarah I knew that if I had hesitated, either you or your father or both would be dead. I couldn't afford it, besides I knew I would have plenty of time to think about my actions after" said Chuck.
"Chuck, you still haven't told me if you are ok" said Sarah.
"Sarah, I will be ok. Just look after your dad it is he that is covered in blood and brains" said Chuck.
"Ok Chuck, but this conversation isn't over" said Sarah.
They get to the airport and drive straight into the hangar.
"Hey what are we doing in this Hangar, I thought you said we were flying to LA" said Jack.
"We are dad, we are taking the plane in this Hangar" said Sarah.
"Darling, does your Job let you use a plane? I know you are some kind of cop." said Jack.
"Dad, this plane has nothing to do with my work, my work has no idea about this, and that is how it needs to stay" said Sarah.
"So how did you get this plane, did you charter it?" said Jack.
"Dad, no we did not charter it, we did not steal it or borrow it. The plane is Chucks" said Sarah clearly frustrated.
Jack Burton got out of the car.
"So, Chuck you must be doing alright for yourself if you can afford a plane. So what is it a little single engine Cessna?" asked Jack.
"Mr Burton its right there" Chuck said pointing at the 605 behind Jack.
"Also Mr Burton, I want you to change your clothes and use the bathroom on the plane to um, clean yourself up. If anyone sees you in LA like that it will create a problem" said Chuck.
Chuck looked back at Jack for confirmation and realised that Jack was still staring at the plane with his mouth open.
"Chuck, how well are you doing?" asked Jack.
"Well Mr Burton, most people call me Charles now, Charles Bartowski" said Chuck.
Jack stared at Chuck "Your that Charles Bartowski?" said Jack.
"Dad, I can't believe you didn't know, don't you watch TV or read magazines?" asked Sarah.
"Um sorry I um, don't take this the wrong way Chuck but I think I hate you. I heard your story from basically nothing to among the richest men in the world in three years. I am sorry but no one gets that lucky, it's not right" said Jack.
"Well at least you kids are still together" said Jack.
"Dad we are not really still together, I came back to try and win him back" said Sarah.
"What, you left her when you made the big time then, I guess I had you pegged wrong" said Jack.
"No Dad, it was me that left over three years ago. It was the biggest mistake of my life" said Sarah looking at Chuck.
Chuck looked in her Direction then back to the car "let's just unpack the car and get out of here" said Chuck.
Sarah could see that Chuck wasn't himself, she only assumed that it probably had to do with the men's life he had ended, she didn't know if that was the first person life he had taken or not.
"Chuck did you want to talk about how you feel?" asked Sarah.
"We have got too many other things to worry about then my bloody feelings. Sarah, we will leave the car in front of the Hangar with the keys inside. We will call them when airborne and tell them the car broke down." said Chuck.
They were airborne and on the way back to LA. Sarah was trying to think, what is she going to do now. This afternoon she is supposed to be leaving on a Ski Trip in Aspen then in a week leaving to go Heli Skiing with Chuck. She knows it will be a very big risk to go Heli-Skiing without getting in a few days on the snow first.
'I will not let my dad ruin my chances with Chuck, not when we have come so far in the first week.'
Jack was back in the cabin asleep and Chuck and Sarah were in the Cockpit.
"So what did you want to do now?" asked Chuck.
"Chuck, I don't know. I really wanted to go Skiing because I will be too nervous to go heli-skiing if I don't. But I don't know what to do with Dad" said Sarah.
"Well Sarah, I don't want to push but you need to talk to you dad about the future. If you want me to get him out of the country it will take a few days to finalise, but I will get started when we get back."
"I will talk with him when he wakes up" Sarah said sadly.
"As far as skiing is concerned you have three options, One, take him to Aspen with you, I can send a couple of guys to keep an eye on things. They will just know he is your dad and I want security for you. Two, go to Aspen and Leave him here, I will have someone with him at all times to make sure he doesn't get into trouble. Three, cancel Aspen ." said Chuck
Chuck just looked at her trying to work out what she is thinking
"Now if you Cancel Aspen you could go later in the week and still before Heli-Skiing, or we could just cancel the Heli-Skiing. I will still take you out for a Dinner for two and call it even" said Chuck.
"Chuck, I want to go with you, initially it was just a way to get dinner, but these last few days I have really been looking forward to getting away from everything" said Sarah.
"I can't take dad to Aspen with me, I do not want Carina getting involved with my history. She doesn't know about my dad, and I can't leave him with you while I go off and Ski I will just have to cancel" said Sarah.
"Sarah, I will not be looking after your father, I will put a detail on him, but remember they are employees of the company and you are a shareholder as well, so you have just as much right to them as me" said Chuck.
"Chuck, it's not the same. If something happens I will be in Colorado" said Sarah.
"Ok, how about this? You talk to your Dad and if you a comfortable leaving him then do it. Just know that I will be ok If you leave him here, in fact I would prefer it, If he is in Aspen with you he may attract danger to you and you will be away from the resources of the company" said Chuck.
"I will speak to dad" said Sarah.
Chuck could see she we conflicted, he wishes he could do something to help her but can not think of anything else he could do.
They arrived back in LA got out of the plane, Chuck asked his support crew in the hangar to service the Jet in preparation of the flight to Aspen. Sarah and Chuck started unloading the weapons and equipment off the plane and putting them back into the armoury.
Jack was sitting down reading a magazine that had an article on Aegis and the success of Charles Bartowski.
"So you have gone from 'shnook' to most eligible Bachelor in just over 3 years. Impressive Charles" said Jack.
"Just the right place at the right time Mr Burton and Luck" said Chuck.
"Charles, luck is when preparation meets opportunity and genius is 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration" said Jack.
"Sarah, I think I will need to get you to call me Charles again, at least when we are around other people" said Chuck.
"Ok Charles" said Sarah.
Chuck could see that Sarah was disappointed but he hoped she understood.
"Sarah, also I would like to request if you could accompany me to a dinner next Wednesday. It is for the Manhattan Chamber of Commerce" said Chuck.
The smile came back onto Sarah's face.
"I would love to Charles. I assume it will be formal?" said Sarah.
"Yes, I will also be a keynote speaker for the event. As it will be our first appearance in public, I would like to know on how you would like to deal with it. I mean what name you will go by as per usual I would normally introduce you as companion for the evening or friend. I was thinking of introducing you as just Sarah" said Chuck
'hmmm I hadn't thought about that.'
Sarah was thinking how she was going to deal with the Agency over appearing in public, it would likely have some impact on her ability to be undercover if she appeared in all sort of magazines.
'I should just bite the bullet and hand in my resignation.'
"Charles can we talk" asked Sarah.
"Um I guess" said Chuck.
"Look Charles, I am not looking for any commitments from you, but I think I might hand in my resignation, the way I was this morning, I nearly cost myself my life as well as dads" said Sarah.
"Sarah don't be too hard on yourself you had a lot of things on you mind" said Chuck.
"Yes, and almost all of it to do with you, I was really only going to consider going back to the Agency if you rejected me, I would want to stay around you even if it meant just being as we are now, as maybe just friends then not have you in my life at all" Sarah said this with emotion and Chuck could see tears in her eyes.
"Do you think if you decide we can't have anything, we could still remain friends and maybe do friend things together, or would you want me to be out of your life" Sarah said almost pleadingly.
"Sarah, if I decide that I am not able to pursue an intimate relationship with you, I would love it if we could still be there for one another as friends maybe best friends" Chuck said with this puppy dog eyes.
A big smile came to Sarah's face "Ok I will get the paper work started" said Sarah.
They finished replacing the equipment in the armoury and Chuck could see that Sarah now had a spring to her step.
They all piled into Chuck's Mustang with Sarah in the Back.
"Charles I would have picked you for more the Aston Martin type" said Jack.
"I have a DB9 as well but this is my pride and joy" said Chuck.
"Well I agree these cars look the part but when it gets down to it they just not in the ballpark compared to modern cars" said Jack.
"Well, this car isn't exactly as per factory some modifications have been made" said Chuck.
He started the car let the car warm up and took off like a bat out of hell.
Both Sarah and Jack were impressed with the power and handling, they expected that a car of this vintage would have a lot more body roll. Tyres should be squealing more around corners.
"Charles you said that you had done some modifications, but how does a car manufactured in 1969 corner like its on rails" asked Sarah.
"Well, ok I will spill, this car has had almost every body part replaced with strengthen and lightened material. Some places carbon fibre other places aluminium. This has enabled the chassis to be substantially lighter. This has assisted in weight distribution for balance, in fact the car has movable ballast for weight distribution. The car will attempt to modify the location of the ballast itself to improve balance but the driver can also manually modify to change the handling characteristics from oversteer to understeer. Under the hood things do not look too different from the factory but significant changes have occurred and have been well camouflaged. I like this car a lot, but did not want to forgo the feel of a sports car" said Chuck.
"Dad, we need to talk about what we are going to do with you" said Sarah.
"What do you mean darling" said Jack.
"Dad, a contract is still out on you, yes we took out the attempt in Las Vegas but that is not the end of it" said Sarah.
"That's ok I will take my chance" said Jack.
"I am sorry Mr Burton I can not let you do that. My suggestion is to leave the country until things settle down. I can help facilitate that" said Chuck.
"Where would you suggest Charles" asked Jack.
"Well, I have a house in Sydney, Australia that you could use, I would suggest to hold out there for maybe 3-6 months. If things haven't settled down by then, probably move you to another location. Now Mr Burton to do this I have to have your guarantee that you will not pull any jobs while you are there. I will give you some money that will allow you to live comfortably, but I can not take the risk of any of you possible extracurricular activities being tied to me. I am sure you can understand that." said Chuck.
"Chuck, you do not have to do that I will sort something out for Dad" said Sarah.
"Sarah, what I said about the security detail goes with any of the houses as well. The house in Sydney is also owned by the company." said Chuck.
"Ok, but I will give him money" said Sarah.
"Ok but make sure it is from the money discussed yesterday" said Chuck.
"Ok agreed" said Sarah.
"So, are we all in agreement?" asked Chuck.
"Ok, Charles so how do I get to Australia then?" asked Jack
"Mr Burton, my plane will fly you to Vancouver and you will get a commercial flight from there" said Chuck.
"Ok Ok, at first I thought it was enjoyable to have one of the richest men in the world call be Mr but now its annoying please just call me Jack" said Jack.
"Ok Jack, it will take me a few days to get the details sorted I would say Monday or Tuesday fly out of LA" said Chuck.
"So what do I do in the mean time?" asked Jack.
"Sarah, how we going on that?" asked Chuck.
"Dad, I was meant to be going away for the weekend, I would still like to go, but I am not sure if I can trust you" said Sarah.
"Darling that hurts" said Jack.
"Dad, if I go I need to know that you will not cause any problems for Charles. As I am sure you appreciate, he is a very busy man" said Sarah.
"I will be a good boy and I will do as I am told, so where am I staying?" said Jack.
"It will be safer for you to stay at mine and I would like you to not leave the residence unless it is something that is pre-arranged with me" said Chuck.
"Jack my residence has most facilities that you would need and anything that you need to buy or get we will get someone to get for you" said Chuck.
"Charles, are you sure this is ok?" asked Sarah.
"Sarah yes I mean it, so you still going to go?" said Chuck.
"Yes, as long as you are sure" said Sarah.
They pulled up to Chuck's residence and Jacks eyes went wide.
"So this is where I am staying?" said Jack.
"Yes" responded Chuck.
Chuck parked his car in the garage and they all came inside, Chuck asked Denise to fix up a room for Jack and Jack went to go get cleaned up and have a shower. Even though he washed himself in the sink and changed clothes, he still hasn't had a shower since he was covered from this mornings events.
Sarah went to her room and started packing her stuff for her weekend skiing, she was looking forward to being able to share some of her activities with Carina. She also wanted to tell her that she was resigning.
She also had the news about her new found wealth.
After Jacks shower he realised that he didn't have any clothes and felt a little embarrassed and out of place.
"Darling, I don't have a thing to wear are you able to get me some things at the shops?" said Jack.
"Ah sorry dad, I am packing to go but I will get someone to get some things for you, maybe you should make a list of what you needed along with your sizes" said Sarah.
"Ah ok Darling, um how has Charles been treating you, has he, you know been paying for things for you, has he been charitable or has he been a scrooge?" asked Jack.
"Dad, that is enough of that, you will not ask him for a penny. I will give you money. Chuck is the nicest person I have ever met and he has been more the charitable. That is why I will give you money".
"Darling he has enough money to spare some, so I don't see what's wrong in asking" said Jack
"Dad this is the man I love, and I am trying very hard for him to take me back so I can spend the rest of my life with him. And if you do anything to jeopardise it, well you will wish it was your head that exploded like watermelons this morning" said Sarah.
"Ok,ok keep your pants on, so can you give me something for the weekend and to pay for the clothes. Was thinking I'm going to need a new wardrobe for Australia too" said Jack
"I will get you some money but do not go overboard, when you get to Australia you will be able to go out and get whatever you need anyway …. Its only while you are here you need to stay away from the public eye. Also anything you get here you will need to take with you to Australia" said Sarah.
Chuck let Jack borrow some jeans and a shirt that didn't fit too well but it was better then walking around naked.
They came back down and Chuck was busily working on a laptop computer and making several phone calls.
"Jack, a lady by the name of Rachel will be coming over in the next hour. Give her your sizing details and she will be able to assist in getting you some clothing. Do not tell her who you are and please do not try anything with her." said Chuck while Jack rolled his eyes.
"Bruce will be over at about the same time and he will be your shadow, he will make sure you don't leave the residence. Ask Denise for anything relating to the facilities here and she will be happy to make you something to eat if you are hungry", said Chuck.
Chuck went back to his work and Sarah and Jack went for a walk around the house, she showed her father the gym and the theatre room and where the kitchen was as well as the library.
"Dad, please be very nice to Rachel. She really helped me out earlier in the week" said Sarah
"Darling, what does she do for Charles, is she like an assistant or something?" asked Jack
"No dad she is his fashion stylist" said Sarah.
"What, he has someone employed to be his fashion atylist" spluttered Jack.
"Well she only works for Charles part time, she is a fulltime Stylist and works for different people around LA, she will help you with fashion so don't ask her for a toothbrush?" said Sarah.
"Ok so what do I do about that kind of stuff then, I need toiletries and men's products" asked Jack.
"I will pickup them up for you just write a list of what you need" said Sarah.
Chuck came up to Sarah and asked to speak to her in private, they both went into Chucks office.
"Sarah, just trust that I have received this information and do not ask how I got it." Said Chuck
He played a sound file that was a recording of a phone call. It outlined the incident at the Wynn this morning. It also said that it appears that Oscar turned against those that ordered the hit, and has been taken into police custody suspected of killing a prostitute and at least 4 of the men.
The recording went on to say that Oscar would pay for his actions and they would get to him, even in Jail. They asked about the whereabouts of Sarah's dad but nothing was currently known and they have people in the Airports and hospitals keeping an eye out for him.
They also mention the possibility of a second person involved in the events and that may have got away. But reports suggest that the other person was just in the wrong place at the wrong time.
"Looks like we got away clean so far, I was thinking, maybe I should send an escort with you for the weekend. It would make me more comfortable" asked Chuck.
"What are you jealous Charles, want to make sure I don't hook up with any spunky Skiing instructors? " laughed Sarah.
"Um, no , ok look. I thought of it because of today's activities and I guess I thought of a side benefit being that I would know what you were up to. I admit I am a little jealous, I have feelings for you Sarah, I lost you once to your Job I guess a part of me wonders if you will come back this time" said Chuck shrugging clearly uncomfortable.
"Charles, I think it's sweet that you are a little jealous. But Charles no one and I mean no one could change my mind about you. And I would do nothing to jeopardise a chance with you." said Sarah looking him straight in the eye trying to make sure he understands what she is saying.
"You know Charles I am not that comfortable leaving Dad with you, I couldn't handle it if Dad did something that made it difficult for us to have a chance at a future together" said Sarah clearly emotional.
Chuck took both of her hands and held them tight, the touch had once again shocked her and clearly effected her.
"Sarah, I have told you years ago and they clearly still apply. You are not responsible for the actions of your father, you have no reason to feel guilty about anything he has done or anything he may do. I mean that Sarah. You do not have to worry about that, I can promise you that. What happens between us is between us and has nothing to do with your father ", said Chuck.
He then did something that shocked her and made her feel safe all in one motion. He took her in his arms and hugged her strongly running has hands over her back.
'How could I ever leave this man?'
Her phone rang
"Walker secure" said Sarah
"Hey so, just checking we are still on?" said Carina.
"Yeah still on, I will see you when we land we are supposed to meet a man named Roger at Aspen Airport, he will be provide us transport to the Chalet and will organise everything for us. Also just so you know, I will also be bringing along someone else. Chuck wanted someone there in case of any security problems" said Sarah.
"Is he cute" asked Carina
Sarah rolled her eyes and then looked at Chuck.
"Carina wanted to know was he cute?" said Sarah.
He rolled he eyes, "same old Carina. He is 32 ex Secret Service protection detail, dark hair blue eyes Just over 6 Foot. That is about all I can give you, any more information you will have to wait to you see him. He will meet you at the Airport." said Chuck.
"Carina…. " started Sarah
"Yeah yeah, I heard, is it my imagination or has Chuck's voice got a whole lot sexier ", responded Carina.
Sarah just coughed and tempted to cover up, but Chuck could see her face going red.
"Carina I will talk to you when I land, bye" said Sarah.
"Everything ok, problems?" asked Chuck.
"No, well not for much longer, I will make sure of that" said Sarah.
Chuck looked confused.
"Chu..Charles I don't want to keep anything from you or have you wondering or doubting my motives, so I plan to be completely open with you about anything and everything…." Sarah said and coughed to clear her throat
"Carina mentioned how sexy she thought your voice was" she said looking down at the floor her face was going red.
"So do you think I have a sexy voice" asked Chuck
"You don't get it do you?….Everything about you I find as sexy as hell" said Sarah looking him in the eye, but when he gave her one of his big Bartowski smiles, she just sighed and collapsed into a chair.
'ah god I'm in trouble' thought Sarah.
'I wish I could tell her that my reluctance has nothing to do with my feelings, but because I am worried how it will affect my work. I do what I do to make a difference in the world, what the public sees is not that important but what I do for the Council, for the government, it saves real lives. I have even saved Sarah's life a few times" thought Chuck.
.
.
.
Sarah, Carina and Brian had all arrived at Aspen airport at about the same time. Sarah saw Carina before she even saw Roger holding the sign up that said Walker. She hugged Carina and introduced Brian, Carina walked up and immediately put her arm through his and said "so Brian, you going to show me a good time this weekend? "
He just smiled and laughed.
"The boss said it would surprise him if you lasted 30 seconds before making a pass" said Brian.
"Oh did he" said Carina.
"And I didn't believe him, I thought he was just exaggerating" said Brian
"Well you can tell him that I still haven't forgotten the two times he turned me down" said Carina.
Brian just looked at Sarah, and Sarah had an annoyed look on her face.
"Let's go over to that guy over there with the Walker sign, I will be guessing that is Roger" said Sarah.
They walked over and Sarah Introduced herself as Sarah Walker.
"Miss Walker, my name is Roger I will be your guide for the weekend. I assume you want to head straight for the Chalet?" said Roger.
"Yeah we will go there so we can take our bags there" said Sarah.
"Yeah, then I want to get changed so we can go and have some fun" said Carina.
"What kind of fun where you after, was thinking about quickly measuring you up for your equipment so we can have it ready for you for first thing tomorrow morning. Also if you wanted instruction I will organise Instructors for you, you can either have private instruction or together it's up to you" asked Roger.
"Ok, we will sort that out first. Then I want to go somewhere where I can get something to eat and drink and dance" with that Carina bumped her hips into Brian.
"You girls go ahead I have a couple of reports and things I need to finalise first. You have dinner and if you are still out I might join you wherever you end up later" said Brian.
They got on a private over snow transport that took them right to the front door of the Chalet.
They got out of the transport and saw a beautiful stone and Timber Chalet.
"Wow", both Sarah and Carina said.
"So how many rooms does the Chalet have?" asked Sarah.
"It has 6 guest rooms, plus the caretaker's room, now Miss Walker I was told that you would assign rooms. One room is down the back, it has its own Hot Tub and ensuite, but all the rest of the rooms are Doubles each with there own ensuite. There is a shared Hot Tub down stairs. There is a games room, a Home Theatre room and also the Lounge. The Lounge has a fully stocked bar and fireplace the room with its own Hot Tub also has its own fireplace" said Roger.
"I got the room with the Hot Tub" said Carina.
"Sorry Carina, that's mine. That is Charles room and I don't care if he is here or not, you are not sleeping in his bed" said Sarah.
Carina went off in a huff and Sarah just shrugged it off and headed towards the room Roger said was the hot tub room. Sarah then heard a scream.
"Aaaahhhh, Sarah, you should see this room it's amazing" said Carina.
Carina stunned Sarah with the scream, but she then shrugged it off and went into her room. It was beautiful; she looked at the fireplace and imagined what it would be like to be up here with Chuck making love in front of the fireplace.
Sarah heard footsteps coming toward her and turned around to see Carina approaching her door.
"Sarah you should see my room it …." said Carina then as she entered Sarah's room she said "Oh my god, this room is good enough for the President".
"Actually" said Roger as he stuck his head through the Door. "Mr Bartowski had the President and the First Lady stay in this room several weeks ago as a gift for the First Lady's Birthday. It was mid January. I was their coordinator for that weekend too. So let's get you measured up" said Roger.
While he was measuring both the girls and Brian up for equipment he continued explaining the facilities and goings on and the local attractions and entertainment.
"Breakfast will be cooked for you in the morning, dinner can also be arranged, but we like to know at breakfast. We may need to get specific ingredients, it can take some time up here." finished Roger.
Sarah and Carina had gotten dressed in some casual clothes and were heading out to where Roger had suggested. They used the Skidoo that belonged at the Chalet, Sarah took control with Carina on the back. They got to the café and went inside, they were shown to a table when they dropped Rogers name as he suggested.
They sat down and started looking at the menu.
"Wow look at the prices on the menu. Shame we don't have Chucks credit card" said Carina.
"That's ok I will get Dinner tonight" said Sarah.
"It's your bank balance" said Carina.
"So what have you been up to with the stud?" asked Carina.
"This and that, like I told you about the President it was so weird having personal conversations with the First Lady and calling her by her first name" said Sarah.
"So you got into his bed yet?" asked Carina.
"No not yet, he has admitted he has feelings for me and he keeps letting things slip, but something is holding him back" said Sarah.
"He has asked me to go to some Dinner thing with him next week, the Manhattan Chamber of Commerce is holding some event and he is a keynote speaker. So I will be accompanying him, it's a formal black tie thing" said Sarah.
"Sounds important, what happens if you get photographed with him, it could affect future undercover work" said Carina.
"Yeah well that probably will not be a problem, I am going to hand in my resignation" said Sarah.
"You what, you are not even going to wait till you get in his bed or he makes some form of commitment. What if he says sayonara, you don't have a job and limited funds" said Carina.
"Yeah well that probably will not be a problem either" said Sarah.
Carina just gave Sarah a questioning look.
"I didn't know anything about it until Wednesday night, but when Chuck formed his company back three years ago he listed me as a 2% shareholder. It was kind of an acknowledgement that I had helped motivate him to do something with his life" said Sarah
"Wow I am sure even 2% means a lot, so I guess that makes you a millionaire now. No wonder you offered to buy dinner, you can get the drinks later too. So you going to sell it and cash in?" asked Carina.
"The kind of shares they are don't really allow me to sell them, without explicit permission from the major shareholder or change of control of the company" said Sarah.
"Bummer that's a shame" said Carina.
"No, don't think I would sell it anyways. Keeps me kind of tied to Chuck" said Sarah.
"So if you don't have a job and you can't sell them what are you going to do for money, still sounds like a problem to me" said Carina.
"Well as I didn't have access to the shares, they have paid some dividends over the last few years, so I have that money" said Sarah.
"Share dividends I wouldn't have thought they would last you that long" said Carina.
"I think they will last a while Carina" said Sarah.
"So how much we talking a couple a hundred grand?" said Sarah.
"Let's just say I really can't see myself ever wanting for money" said Sarah.
"So I guess your net worth is in the millions now" said Carina.
"I was told that if the total value was publicly known then I would be on Forbes, but the company is privately held and not publicly listed" said Sarah.
"I thought Forbes was only for Billionaires?" said Carina
Sarah just gave Carina a look as if to say what of it.
"You bitch, Sarah Walker, so has the shares been finalised or can he still take them off you" asked Carina.
"As I understand, they weren't his to take off me, the shares and Dividends were held in trust, so he couldn't do anything even if he wanted to. And yes they are officially in my control, the dividends where transferred last night."
Sarah realised that she hadn't checked to see if the transfer is complete and decided to use her Iphone.
"Just checking to see if the transfer completed…that bastard" said Sarah.
Carina could see Sarah's face and she was confused with the expression on her face and grabbed her phone.
"Ahhhh noooo!" Sarah said.
Carina looked at her phone and saw Sarahs electronic statement, Sarah quickly took it back.
"Sarah that looked like 5.5 Million dollars" said Carina.
Sarah eyes went wide in shock she looked back down at her phone the look went from her face.
'Chuck said it was just under 50 million, this is 55 million'
"ahh, yeah maybe" said Sarah.

"So any other benefits to you having shares in the company" asked Carina.
"Well I get to use the Company Jets and houses and facilities around the world and I have access to a company executive assistant to organise things" said Sarah.
