Chapter 6: BLACKSPARROW
Pain plain and simple that's all she felt pain everywhere. Her head was bleeding her hand was broken they had her bent over strapped to the table. She couldn't remember what time it was or how long it had been but all she new was that they had stopped rapping her, thank the lord that they finally stopped. She quit fighting after the 35th guy at least she thought it was the 35th guy she wasn't sure, she hadn't stopped crying though. She had cuts all up and down her naked back her beautiful face had been beaten beyond recognition, her lip was swollen and bleeding. Her eye was swollen shut and she had a large gash on her forehead. To the uninitiated you wouldn't even know it was her. She was distracted from her musings by the sound of the door opening she was panic stricken she didn't know who was behind her, he laughed and it terrified her she was helpless and alone. Suddenly a sharp pain ripped through her body causing her to shriek in pain. He laughed again as the tears poured down her face; he grabbed ahold of her hair as her entered her forcefully; angrily there it was again the pain excruciating pain.
"So tell me Agent Walker do you know what this place is?" her voice was shaky at best she was afraid to answer, she didn't know the answer.
"No" it was barely a whisper but he heard it.
"This place Agent Walker is called BLACKSPARROW" he continued his assault on her when he spoke again.
"Say it Agent Walker Say it"
"BLACKSPARROW, BLACKSPARROW, BLACKSPARROW!" she continued to yell it over and over as he laughed.
"BLACKSPARROW, BLACKSPARROW, BLACKSPARROW!" she shrieked when he zapped her with the cattle prod on her.
"BLACKSPARROW!"
"Miss"
"BLACKSPARROW!"
"Miss"
"BLACKSPARROW!"
"Hey miss, hey wake up we are about to land." Sarah awoke from her sleep and looked up at the stewardess.
"What?" there was tears running down her face she must have been crying in her sleep.
"You were whimpering in your sleep and it was bothering the other passengers." Sarah was embarrassed she never did this.
"Oh sorry" she looked down at her shaking hands, there was an old lady sitting next to her that spoke next.
"Hey give the young lady a break she is clearly scared. Will you please leave us alone?" The stewardess walked away quickly to sit down in the back.
"Hey young lady you want to talk about it? You seem pretty upset." Sarah contemplated her question for a moment it was a good question did she want to talk about it, her therapist always told her that she shouldn't keep these things bottled up inside, that this kind of thing needed to be talked about why not start now.
"Sure I guess, well about 2 years ago I was taken hostage by some (how should I word this) criminals for around 5 months."
"That's horrible" she couldn't tell this woman the whole truth but this was a start.
"It gets worse, they did things, horrible things, over and over" Sarah's voice broke she took a second to collect her self the old lady was captivated by this girl's story and quiet frankly she felt bad for the girl.
"If it wasn't for the CIA team that came and found me in Burma I probably would have died there in that hell hole." She couldn't hold back the flood gates any longer thinking about those months with those bastards were bringing back a hole slew of emotions. She let her head fall into her hands and started to silently sob into her hands.
"Hey it is okay here take my hanker chief" she handed Sarah her hanky which she promptly used to wipe her eyes the old lady spoke.
"Just remember they can't hurt you anymore" Sarah gave her a shaky smile before nodding yes.
"Young lady my name is Samantha Barstow I'm a featured reporter for the Burbank Nightly News on channel 6 and I would like to put your story on the news if that's okay with you." Sarah looked up in shock at what she just heard.
"What, really you want me on the news?" Samantha nodded at Sarah
"Well in that case, hi I'm Sarah Walker" Samantha looked at Sarah with shock.
"Sarah Walker, so your Chuck Bartowski's ex wife?" Sarah nodded in shock how did this woman know her name and of her short marriage to one Charles Irving Bartowski.
"Wow it's great to finally meet you, I interviewed your ex husband Chuck Bartowski about 6 years ago right after his new video game came out" Sarah was shocked.
"That was so long ago how could you remember something so vague?"
"Yes it was a long time ago but his story was so fascinating he told the story of his career in the CIA minus anything that could endanger anyone still in the CIA, how could I forget"
"What a funny coincidence" Sarah laughed to herself.
"Yes, he never told us what you did but he still has the utmost respect for you, when I interviewed him he said nothing but nice things about you" Sarah gave a sad smile.
"Yes he is a nice guy I made such a big mistake leaving him so many years ago if I could do anything over in my entire life I would have stayed." Sarah was very somber which touched Samantha.
"Well Sarah if it's alright would you do an interview and tell me your story?" Sarah nodded her head and Samantha handed her a card. Just then the plane touched down and the pilot came over the PA.
"Ladies and gentlemen welcome to Los Angelis International Airport the current time is 3:00 P.M. it is currently 74 degrees and sunny hope you enjoy your stay in LA." it wasn't even 10 minutes before they were stopped at there gate everybody stood up but before Sarah could get off Samantha grabbed her arm and spoke.
"I'm going to guess you are here to patch things up with Chuck?"
"Yes I am, I hope he'll take me back."
"Well I hope you succeed you look like you're a nice girl it would be a shame if you two didn't get back together."
"Here is my phone number incase you need to reach me Ms. Barstow." Sarah handed her a piece of paper with her phone number on it and got out of her row to grab her bag. Sarah exited the plane and proceeded to the rental car service.

10 hours later
1:47 A.M.
The Residence of Colonel and Mrs. John Casey
Casey was 51 years old, retired, happily married and had one kid. Life was good. He retired from the NSA after BLACKSPARROW, he decided it was time to retire but he was okay with that. He now worked full time as chief of security for Bartowski Technologies and Cyber-Security or BTC for short, it was a good job paid well, good hours. Chuck once told him the story of Sarah and Chucks future plans for Carmichael industries cyber security they had high hopes for that. Then she left and it all went to hell. He spiraled simple as that Chuck spiraled deeper and deeper into depression, you could ask him about it but he never gave you an inch never an indicator just put on the fake smile and went about his business. She left, it was unbelievable after all she put him through all the pain and heartbreak she put him through. After all the shit about Shaw and her real name they got together and never looked back.
Then Quinn came, he changed everything, erased all her memories of Chuck like he never even existed. It wasn't a year before those two had problems. Boom she was gone, disappeared, vanished into thin air. Only a note any indicator that she was ever there at all. Fast-forward seven year's, he could picture it like it was yesterday the old warehouse in Burma. He could still see all the mangled and mutilated bodies of those unlucky enough to be sent to BLACKSPARROW he remembered kicking down the door and seeing her there stark naked strapped to the table her beautiful golden hair matted and bloody, the bruises and burn marks on her back. The lash marks from where they whipped her, the cuts and bruises from ware they had beaten her. He remembered how thin she was starved for months living on water and bread. He remembered carrying her through the hallways the blue in her beautiful eyes gone replaced with darkness and fear, he remembered. It was months before they got her back to perfect health and even then psychologically she was a train wreck for the first week all she said was the same word over and over… BLACKSPARROW BLACKSPARROW BLACKSPARROW.
It was late but he didn't care he was up late every night, tonight though was different it was the anniversary of BLACKSPARROW two years to the day. He was distracted from his musings by a sound coming from the other room, his training instantly kicked in he grabbed a knife from the kitchen dror and walked closer to the sound. He turned the corner into his living room and flicked on the light.
"You got a lot of nerve showing up here" she sat on the couch looking up at him.
"Nice to see you too Casey" Sarah looked up at him and smiled.
"What do you want Sarah?"
"Is that any way to talk to an old friend?"
"Let me guess, tomorrow your gonna waltz on over to Chucks place all primped and primed, then you'll flash your pearly whites, show some cleavage, flirt, laugh at all his stupid jokes. You'll do what every CIA skirt does, you'll seduce him get a smile on his face, get him back in the saddle. Then once you've regained his trust you'll use him. You need a place to stay and he is loaded. You won't love him no of coarse not you would never love him. You have so plainly established that, you'll use him for his money then once you have no use for him you'll discard him like trash. How could you ever have loved him he is totally not your type. Cole, Bryce, Shaw they are your, type CIA scum like your self. Go back to them you deserve them not him, not someone as good as him. The fact that you even thought you deserved a guy like him shows how mean and cold hearted you really are. Leave here, leave now and don't come back, I won't allow you to hurt him anymore." He was furious that she would even show her face around here let lone try and patch things up with chuck. She never realized how many bridges she burned when she left.
Chuck it seemed was the only one who didn't totally despise her Casey sure did, but who was she kidding everything he said for the most part was true.
"Your right Casey I don't deserve him not even in the slightest bit but he deserves a woman who would love him more than her own life, a woman who can be there for him when he needs them. I can be that woman now. I can help get him through the bad times, I can help him deal with the demons and he can help me with mine. See were two of kind Chuck and I, we are perfect for each other. I gave him demons I caused all of it between the depression, trust issues and the nagging insecurity I either created or reinforced those demons. Nobody ever teaches you how to have a stable relationship I sure as hell didn't know how. I never had any stable relationships during my childhood and went straight into the CIA after high school they teach you mot to have them at all, then I meet him and realized what I had been missing my entire life. Yes I led him on for three years I played with his emotions to get what I wanted and yes I even told Shaw my real name, after years of Chuck wishing for me to open up and tell him something real all it took was a smile and a hug from Daniel Shaw to get me to open up. All I want is a chance to redeem my mistakes to right the wrongs, and god willing, start a family. But it's not about what I want, if he will take me back, if he will allow me to start over and to help him then I will never hurt him again for as long as I live he will never hurt again you have my word." The tears were welling up in her eyes ever since BLACKSPARROW she had been an emotional train wreck that was almost two years ago. Casey had been the one who saved her in Burma, he rescued her from that hellhole. She was eternally grateful for that and had simply stopped by to thank him, she never got a chance so many years ago. When they got back to the states she was sent to a bunker for a year to recover and when she got out she was far to badly damaged psychologically to care about anyone or anything she had a death wish, she wanted to die she took deadlier missions in hopes that one would finally be to much and she would die a good soldier and finally get to see Chuck again see would finally have peace.
"Sarah that's all fine and good but it still doesn't answer my question why are you here?"
"I came over here to tell you something important to me"
"Well, what is it?" he was getting frustrated with this, he was tired and wanted to go to sleep.
"Thank you for saving me in Burma I am eternally grateful that you found me"
"Oh, well your welcome I guess I couldn't let my best partner die in some god forsaken country. Regardless of what I think of you and Chuck you can always count on me as a partner." She gave him a timid smile.
"Well I'm sorry for disturbing you at such a late hour now if you'll excuse me I should be going." She proceeded to walk past him and out the back sliding door" Gertrude walked up behind Casey and wrapped her arms around his waist and spoke.
"Who was that honey?" she asked as she kissed his neck lightly.
"Oh nobody just an old friend" she looked at him like he was crazy.
"Come to bed honey I'm tired" she walked back into there room.
