She walked out the airport and peered through her sunglasses to find the person that was supposed to meet her. She was surprised when she saw a guy running towards her. Her hand quickly went around and felt for her gun situated in her waistband. The guy bent over in front of her to try to catch his breath.

"Eat the rainbow." He breathed out. She relaxed when the heard the code phrase and wracked her brain for the reply. "Pop the can."

The agent stood up and held his hand out. "Agent Walker, I'm Nico. Nico Daniels. I'm sorry I'm late. We found a lead to where Agent Shaw is. If you could just follow me, I'll brief you on the way there." Sarah shook his hand, pulled a small suitcase behind her and followed him.

She put on her glasses and remembered the conversation she had with Director Graham.

"You'll be leaving at 0700 tomorrow to Burbank. You'll meet up with an agent named Nico Daniels. He was an analyst but he was upgraded as an agent because John Casey took him as an apprentice. He'll brief you of the current whereabouts and activities of Daniel Shaw. Remember, John Casey is officially off of the NSA's books but he works for them. I heard that the NSA has put a hit on Shaw's head and they gave that mission to Casey. He knows that he needs the CIA's information on Shaw that's why he agreed to meet you. Work with him to capture Shaw. This guy is a complete professional so you won't have any down time. Do you understand, Agent?" Graham looked at her and she gave a curt nod in reply. He slid a manila envelope over the desk and continued, "All the information that the CIA has on Shaw is on that hard drive and all other details of this mission on this folder."

She took the envelope and scanned through the folder. Looking up from the folder, she turned to Graham. "Will that be all, director?"

Graham appraised his best agent in concern. "Are you sure that you're ready for this?"

"Sir, this is the guy that blew up the headquarters of my team- my team which was prepping to attack The Ring base. I've been waiting for this opportunity since I woke up from my coma. I will do what I'm good at for the good of our country and for my comrades." Sarah replied to him in a no nonsense tone. "If that would be all, I'll be packing for my flight." She stood up and turned towards the door.

Graham gave her a slight nod so she started walking away. She was a few steps away from the door when she heard Graham say softly, "Be careful, Sarah."

With a small smile, she replied. "I will."

"Agent Walker, we're here." Daniels' voice snapped her out of her musings.

She got off the car and appraised the suburbian house in front of her. "Are you sure that we're in the right place?"

"Positive, ma'am." He replied after locking the car. He walked straight to the door and rapped 3 times, a pause, and 2 times again. The door opened and a tall man with beady blue eyes holding a handgun studied her. "You Walker?"

"Yes." She looked at him straight in the eye. He looked at her then looked behind her. "Daniels, you sure you weren't followed?"

"Casey, of course we weren't. It's me." Nico gave Casey a small shrug.

Tilting his head, he directed the two of them to get inside. "Get in, come on."

Sarah walked inside the cul-de-sac and surveyed her surroundings. This looks more like a cave than a house, she thought to herself.

Casey closed the door after them and peered through the peephole to check for shadows. "All clear." He said out loud.

He walked towards a coffee table littered with coffee cups and various papers filled with intel on Shaw.

"I assume you want the intel." Sarah said as she threw her suitcase on the sofa and motioned to open it.

"I don't need your intel. I already have it." Casey told her with a smug look. Daniels, on the other hand, just rolled his eyes at Casey.

"What do you mean you already have it?" Sarah asked heatedly.

"Means, I already have it." Casey said in a sarcastic tone. "I'm not the ghost if I don't have ghost sources." He added and crossed his arms in front of his chest.

"So why am I here?" She zipped up her suitcase and placed it on the floor. She quickly took the gun from her waist and pointed it at him. In turn, Casey also picked the gun from the coffee table and pointed it at her.

"Easy, sister. I'm not going to kill you. Put your gun down. Now." Casey told her.

Instead of putting it down, Sarah turned the safety off. "I repeat, why am I here?"

Casey just looked at her and continued pointing the gun.

"Geez, Casey! Just tell her before you two bloody up my carpet!" Daniels told Casey from his seat that is facing the two of them while lounging languidly and drinking a can of Pepsi.

Casey growled at Daniels and raised his hands in surrender. "I'm putting my gun down now. Don't shoot." Casey slowly placed his gun back at the coffee table. And gave her a look that said: There, it's down.

Sarah relaxed visibly but continued aiming the gun at him.

"The reason you're here is because I needed the CIA's finest agent. And that agent is you."

And no, Nico Daniels is not Chuck. I promise.
