The Hotel, Mong Pan, Burma
1:09 P.M.
2 Days Later
Gertrude and Casey sat in the two chairs in the hotel room, they had been exchanging small talk as the watched Chuck sleep. Gertrude had arrived with a tact team 2 hours earlier and Casey was thoroughly enjoying talking to his wife. Chuck was still asleep which surprised them both. Chuck was usually an early riser but he had been sleeping a lot since getting back from that hospital.
"So how long has our boy here been like this?" asked Gertrude as she looked over at Casey. Casey sighed as he ran his hand through his ever-reseeding hair.
"Two days ago he had a rough day I'll spare you the gory details but lets just say that he did some things that he'll never forgive himself for. He saw her and it tore his heart out. He has been sleeping off and on like this since. The kid just can't catch a break." Gertrude nodded then sipped her coffee.
"We need to hurry if we want to go get Sarah, I don't know how much time we have before Jameson does something to her."

The Hospital
3:56 P.M.
Sarah could here something out in the hallway approaching slowly, ominously. Like every morning David had come in and chained her back up but today he seemed a little off, like he was scared or something. Of coarse she thought nothing of it. The iron bars of the cell opened up and in walked David followed closely by The Masked Man and two henchmen.
"Sarah, Sarah, Sarah you have been very bad." The Masked Man was waving knife in her face. He laughed maniacally at her feeble attempt to move away from the knife.
"Yes you have been very bad. I know about what has been going on at night." Sarah swallowed slowly, her eyes as wide as saucers.
"I think you need to be punished for it." The Masked Man snapped his fingers and the two henchmen brought in a brief case, a chair and restraints.
"And I know exactly how I'm going to punish you." He snapped his fingers again and his two henchmen unchained her. Once she was restrained in the chair The Masked Man opened the brief case and pulled out a pair of sunglasses.
"Now you see these sunglasses Agent Walker, they are Intersect glasses. Corrupt Intersect glasses to be exact, every time you flash with this in your head it will eat at a chunk of your memories, one memory at a time." He laughed as he looked at them.
"You see this mask Agent Walker, your husband did this two me. When Shaw gave himself up so many years ago Chuck and the CIA bombed the Ring facility." He took the mask off to reveal his scared mutilated face.
"When I got back from the hospital my wife couldn't stand the sight of me." He smiled at her as she looked on in horror. Massive scars and burns crosshatched all over his face painting a portrait of pain and suffering. He laughed as he looked down at the mask. He spoke in an unsettling calm.
"She left my newborn son David and I to fend for our selves. I promised my self that I would make Chuck and the CIA pay for this and now I will, I'm going to take their best agent." He looked up at her as he continued
"And give her a little makeover. I'm going to take away all of her memories and turn her pretty face into this." He pointed his blade at his face to emphasize the point.
"Then I'll turn her loose on the CIA and show them the price of their actions… by killing The President of the United States." He put his mask back on and took a breath.
"You wouldn't even dare." Said Sarah defiantly as she looked up and her captor. The masked man laughed loudly
"Wouldn't I?" he pulled out his pistol and shot David in the chest. Sarah looked over at David, the blood running down his body.
"I just shot my own son, do you really think I won't do it?" Sarah went into panic mode immediately as she watched David's body fall into a heap.
"Please I beg of you not to do this… I'm sorry about what happened to you." She said quickly as tears ran down her face.
"Please have some mercy, I'll do anything just please don't do this." She was sobbing as she saw The Masked Man open the glasses and move toward her.
"Tell you what Agent Walker I'll make you a deal." She looked up at him searching the slits that hid his eyes.
"At 8 o clock tonight three of my henchmen will walk into your cell and well lets just say that you need to make sure that they have a very good evening if you now what I mean." Sarah's mind was reeling from the position she had just been put in, cheat on Chuck or lose him forever.
"You bastard." Sarah said meekly as tears continued to cascade down her cheeks. Sarah let out a defeated sigh before she spoke.
"You have a deal I'll sleep with three of your men." Sarah had given up, any fight that she had left was now gone, he had beaten her and he new it. He now had the ultimate bargaining chip. All Sarah could do now was hope that Chuck came to save her in time.

The Old Warehouse
7:00 P.M.
18 men stood before Chuck, Casey and Gertrude. They looked at the collective group of men that once worked for Verbanski Corp. When Casey got back from BLACKSPARROW they decided it was time to retire, having nobody in the family interested in running Verbanski Corp they sold all of it's assets to another Private security firm, this was all that she could gather on such short notice. Chuck had just outlined the plan to storm The Masked Mans building.
"I'll repeat the plan once again… all of use ride up to the side entrance inside the Semi Truck that I rented and the comms van. Then Casey, Gertrude and I sneak into the building. Once we have secured Sarah, we will relay over the comms and you will storm into the building. We have to make sure that we get Both Sarah and The Masked Man they are our Primary objectives. Understood?" He bellowed as they replied with yes sirs and the like. Casey and Gertrude shared a worried glance as they saw the dark determination on Chucks Face.
"Okay lets roll." He grabbed his tactical gear and they all walked outside to the vehicles. As Chuck holstered his silenced Pistol Casey wondered if Chuck was all there mentally.
"Chuck you okay?" asked Casey as he looked at Chuck.
"Never better." Chuck never made eye contact as he put the earwig into his ear and checked his comms. Chuck climbed into the driver's seat of the semi truck and started it up. As the two vehicles sped off on their mission a nervous calm descended over everybody.

Downtown Mong Pan
7:45 P.M.
As they approached the Hospital Chuck took a steadying breath as he pulled over to the side of the road.
"So I need you to switch positions with me. They may identify me when they stop us." The team member sitting next to him was in a disguise, warring street close. They quickly switched positions and proceeded towards the hospital. Chuck took in another breath before speaking again.
"Show time." As they pulled into the alley they spotted only one guard unlike when Chuck was here last time, this would make it easier to sneak in.
"Take out the guard Mike when he approaches the door." Said Chuck in monotone as he watched the lone guard walk slowly towards the truck. They opened the door and the guard looked up at them. Just as he was about to speak Mike pulled out his silenced pistol and eliminated the guard.
Chuck waived the truck back towards the loading dock telling Mike when to stop. Chuck opened the door and spoke to the Men inside.
"Okay show time, remember don't rush in until I give the signal over the comms." Chuck then leapt off of the loading dock and walked over to the Comms van. As he opened up the sliding door he was surprised to see Casey and Gertrude making out.
"Really Casey?" as they continued Chuck just grunted and went back to grab his assault rifle.
"So Chuck change of plans. Gertrude is going to stay inside the van and watch the comms, she thinks that she can hack into their security cameras inside and give us an idea of what lie ahead." Chuck nodded and grabbed his ammo; Chuck knew that this wasn't a mission where he could get away with using a tranq gun. No he needed a real weapon this time. He was okay with it though because he new that it is only what is necessary. Chuck and Casey walked over towards the door leading to the interior of the building.
The place was ominously dark the walls dripped with condensation, the flicker of a lone neon light illuminating the hallway. Chuck and Casey walked silently down the hallway guns pointed ahead, watching for any sudden movement. The hallway ended at an intersection with two closed doors in front of them and hallway on either side. Chuck pushed one open of the doors, they were hit with a sudden chill, it was really cold. They must have been in some form of refrigerator room, Chuck and Casey couldn't figure out what room this was until Casey saw a plastic bag laying on a bloody metal table. Various knives and tools lay next to the bag, Chuck picked up the bag and looked at it. The inside was covered with blood and there was something squishy inside of it. It was a human organ! Chuck quickly set the bag back down on the table.
"Casey this is an organ storage room!" Chuck whispered.
"Oh shit this is bad." Said Casey as he gasped at all of the bags. They were on shelves floor to ceiling. Chuck noticed a door in the back of the room and moved toward it, pushing it open he looked inside for a light switch. After finding the light switch he flipped on the light only to gaze upon one of the most horrifying things he would ever see. There was a girl, she looked dead but Chuck couldn't tell. Cuts and bruises scarred her mutilated body; her arms were chained above her head her legs spread apart. There was blood everywhere, on the floor, on the walls, it was simply everywhere. Chuck fought the bile rising in his throat. Casey came inside and gasped at the site.
"Chuck we've got to keep moving." Chuck took a steadying breath as he nodded; they left the room and continued their search.
"Gertrude this place is messed up, we've got to stop this guy." Said Casey over the comms as he took one final look before closing the door. As they made their way through the hallways the calm emptiness of the place unnerved Chuck, it made him uneasy. They backtracked all the way to the exit of the building and started over, this may take longer then they thought.

Sarah's Cell
8:00 P.M.
Sarah was trying to prepare herself emotionally as well as mentally for the coming evening. What she was about to do was against all of her morals but yet she had to do this, she made Chuck a promise that she would never leave him again and she was damn sure that she would never break another promise to him ever again, the pain she had caused him already was enough for a life time let alone if she was turned into a crazy killing machine with no emotions. The look on Chucks face when he laid eyes on Sarah Walker the crazy killing machine would be heart breaking. His wife turned into a monster and put on display for the whole world to see, no never she would do anything in her power to come back to him. Even if that meant that she had to endure a couple hours of rape. Of coarse the less Chuck knew about it the better it would be.
The men would be arriving soon and she knew it. Sarah said a small prayer to herself as she heard footsteps in the hallway. Sarah wasn't a really religious woman but she did occasionally look to god in times of crisis. The sound of footsteps shook her from her thoughts.

Hallway
8:30 P.M.
Chuck and Casey had finally found the second floor and were searching every inch of it for her.
"Chuck what does that door say, I can't read it." Chuck looked at the dusty door and flashed instantly.
Female slaves only
"Female Slaves only…" Casey looked at Chuck before pushing the door open slowly, quietly. Inside there were curtains rows of them as if they were supposed to be like rooms. All you could here were soft moaning sounds. Chuck walked over to a curtain and pulled it back slightly. Inside was a man and a woman, the woman was lying there naked sweat dripping down her face. She looked rather limp almost lifeless. The man was busy having his way with her, which disgusted Chuck to no end. She must have been drugged or something because she didn't move just lied there limp. Chuck pulled back and whispered at Casey.
"This room is filled with sex slaves we need to check each curtain, she may be in here." Casey nodded and started to check. Chuck prayed to god that she wasn't in this room.
Chuck had looked into over twenty curtains and only had one more to Check before he had checked all of he ones he was supposed to check. Casey quietly spoke to Chuck.
"This we need to find this man Chuck, this sick bastard is gonna die." Casey seethed as he continued the disturbing task of checking each curtain. Chuck slowly discreetly opened the curtain a crack and looked inside, he gasped when he saw it. There was a man and a woman inside doing what all of them were doing. But what surprised Chuck was the woman her self, she was lying on her stomach so he couldn't see her face. All he could see was her golden blonde hair. All of his muscles clenched as rage built up inside of him. He ripped open the curtain and walked inside, the man looked up at him a look of fear on his face as Chuck pointed his assault rifle at him. Chuck slowly inched his way over to the limp drugged up woman lying on the disgusting mattress, he grabbed onto her shoulder and rolled her over onto her back, it wasn't Sarah. Chuck looked at the woman's face, nothing moved. Chuck moved his hand to her neck and checked for a pulse, there wasn't one. Chuck shrugged as he closed her eyes and look at the man. Casey came over and looked at the man, he looked at the lifeless woman on the mattress and then back at the man.
"Chuck we need to keep moving." Said Casey as he looked at Chuck. Chuck simply nodded and let his gun hang loosely around his shoulder. Chuck and Casey walked back out into the hallway and continued their search of the second floor. Chuck was having a hard time staying composed at this moment, he had seen so many horrible things today and he knew it was only going to get worse.

Sarah's Cell
8:32 P.M.
The Masked mans henchman had spent the last few minutes toying with her, copping feels and doing things of the like. It was easy for them considering she was chained to a wall. They laughed as tears ran down her face. Finally one of the henchmen spoke, he could barley speak in English but he did speak.
"Now it is time for really fun, you see this?" he held up a syringe with a clear liquid in it.
"This is a special drug that will make you totally helpless. You won't be able to move, or speak, or do anything but breathe. Lucky for you it only lasts thirty minutes, or maybe that' isn't lucky for you, it all depends on how you look at it" He laughed as she cried; he moved closer to her and stuck the syringe into her neck and injected the drug into her body. Her breathing became slow and erratic as the drug coursed through her body. Just before the drug took total control of her she turned her head and saw two men standing outside of the cell, she could see but she couldn't hear. She saw the flash of two guns and all of the henchmen fell to the ground. Her vision had become rather fuzzy so she could tell who the two men were until they came closer. She took in a sharp labored breath as Chuck starred her in the face he was saying something but all she could hear was a ringing sound. She felt the chains give way and she fell limp into Chuck's arms. She couldn't move but she could feel the sensation of movement, he was carrying her. The last she saw before blacking out was gunfire coming from down the hall, Chuck set her down and lifted his gun a look of determination on his face, then she blacked out.
