I do not own Chuck.

Hey guys. Thanks for the recent reviews. I know some may believe it was too quick for her memories to come back, but to be honest I didn't want to drag it out too long. I initially had an idea for her to regain it all right at the end but then changed it and wanted to write it in that she got them back around chapter 5/6, but changed it once more. Before I began writing I thought it would be nice for them two to have a simple life…but really whenever have they had it all so simple, so I had to add something and I hope you like it.

Chapter 5 – Revelation

15 minutes after the crash and Chuck being taken…..

Sarah began to stir. Her vision was severely blurred and she had aches and pains covering every inch of her body. Her head felt liked it weighed like a ton of bricks and could barely move. Blood was slowly dripping from the side of her head and covering most of her top. Trying to reach over to Chuck, she winced in pain. Her left arm was heavily cut and bruised. Trying to fight off every pain, she turned her head as far as she could to check on Chuck. With her vision blurred, she saw an outline of what she assumed to be Chuck.

'Chuck…Chuck can you hear me?'

It was such a struggle to utter a few words; never had she felt pain like this. Not getting any reply, and still buckled in…she slowly began to shift her body so she could undo the seatbelt. Her vision was now starting to become clear and after undoing her seatbelt she glanced back over to Chuck, only he wasn't there. Reaching out trying to feel him, she began to realise he was never there in the first place. Realising he was gone; Sarah began to slowly drag herself out the wrecked car. She could barely stand having suffered a head wound. Her left arm had been cut and to stop the blood slowly seeping out she went to the back of the car to find the luggage had been thrown out from the boot, thinking fast, she ripped a bit of her jeans from the bottom and wrapped it around her arm. Scouring the wreckage she looked for Chuck but he was nowhere. Believing he was taken but the same people who caused the accident she whipped out her phone and tried dialling, not realising she had switched it off the day before and had totally forgotten to switch it back on. The moment her phone came back on, she had a total of 7 missed calls from Casey and one voicemail. Being in the middle of nowhere Sarah had very low signal and could not get a single call out. Thinking Casey had suspected something, she tried listening to the voicemail, but the low signal affected message. Trying over and over to listen, she eventually was able to grasp what he had said.

Walker it's Casey. We have a problem. I don't know where Chuck is but I have tried the idoit several times but it keeps directing me to voicemail. You may not understand and I know you have forgotten, but listen to me…I was ambushed on the way to the airport but I managed to get away. I didn't get a clear look at the men who attacked me but there were 2 men and I think there was a 3rd. I think they are after you…or Chuck because they asked me all sorts of questions. I'm heading back to Burbank right now, so call me.

After several attempts of trying to call Casey, Sarah eventually got through.

'Casey….Casey where are you?'

'I'm heading into Burbank right now, where is Chuck? I still can't get through'.

'He was with me. Casey I remember everything, it's come back. I can't explain it right now…but someone was after us. We were heading to Chicago and a SUV was trailing us….it shot us off the road and when I came to Chuck was gone…they took Chuck Casey.'

'Where are you right now?'

'I don't know….Where have they taken him?'

Casey sensed the desperation in Sarah's voice.

'Walker we will get him back. Activate your GPS on your car and I will find you'.

'I can't…..they shot us off the road. The car is wrecked'.

'Damn it Walker, just try it.'

Sarah tried to reach in to the wrecked Lotus and tried to activate the GPS signal but had difficulty reaching.

'C'mon Walker…..' Casey beckoned.

'I'm trying Casey…., I can't get to it'.

Stopping to catch her breath, she tried once more. She hit it.

'Got it, I know where you are, sit tight and I will be there'.

'Casey hurry…..they've got Chuck. They must know he downloaded the new intersect'.

'…..Sarah I will find you and we will go get Chuck'.

The call was then disconnected.

Meanwhile with Chuck in the SUV…..

'Splash him' the woman ordered.

One of the men reached out for a water bottle and emptied half of it over Chuck's face.

'Woooh…wh….' Chuck could barely put a sentence together.

'Hello Chuck. Stay still, you were in an accident, we wouldn't want you to hurt yourself anymore.'

'Who….who are you and where am i…?'

'Take a closer look Chuck. I think you know who I am'.

The woman smirked, clearly loving every moment of this.

'Where is Sarah…WHERE IS SHE' Chuck shouted.

'Wooo, calm down Chuck. I assume you are talking about your wife, Sarah Walker?'

'Gods sakes, tell me where she is'.

Filled with such anger, Chuck began to try and break free of the cuffs that tied his hands together. Realising he hadn't the strength even try to break free, Chuck backed down.

'Where is my Wife? Please….is she ok?' Chuck ushered in a bare and open voice.

'She's alive….just. She's perhaps still knocked out in that car, but I'll guess your friend Casey will find her, so I wouldn't worry about her just yet.'

Looking out of the windows trying to suss out where they were or where they were going, Chuck couldn't think of nothing else but Sarah. He'd just got back his wife and now he lost her again. Twice he nearly lost her and twice he got her back, would the 3rd time be so lucky? The SUV began to slow down and soon came to a halt.

'Get out of the car' the woman ordered to the men.

'It's just you and me now Chuck. Do you know who I am?'

Chuck barely able to life his own head, still feeling the effects of the crash uttered…

'I don't care who you are. What do you want from me?'

'I actually don't want anything from you. I want Sarah and I want her to pay. Your just leverage Chuck. Take a good look at me….I'm sure you know who I am.'

The woman got out of the car and jumped into the back sit next to Chuck. He had the intersect, but he couldn't flash, he was knocked out and the effects are still wearing off. Unable to neither free himself nor defend himself, he had to play along with whatever the woman had in mind. Looking at her, trying to understand who exactly she was and what she wanted…Chuck searched for answers but came up empty handed.

'I don't know….i just want my wife…'

'I'll give you a hint…you put my husband away, twice'.

Chuck looked back up to the woman trying to recognize the face but in that moment he began to flash….it was very jittery and hit and miss, but he managed to make out a name. His eyes fully open and now suddenly alert he voiced the name.

'Evelyn Shaw'.

'Ahhh well done Chuck.'

Chuck could not believe what he was seeing. Was he dreaming…was he still unconscious back at the crash site..? He rubbed his eyes and took another look at the woman.

'No..no this can't be. Your dead, it's not you. Sarah shot you…..it was her red test. No, no….NO..'

Chuck was becoming irate and thought he was going crazy, but his mind was far from playing tricks.

'That wasn't me that evening in Paris. I was with the Ring and we had found out that Walker was due to perform her red test before officially becoming a spy. I wasn't about to get shot by a rookie, so placed an innocent bystander in my place. Of course I had to fake some records and DNA so they believed they got me…but all in all it was a good night. So…your beloved wife in fact shot a poor innocent civilian.'

'You sick….b…'

Evelyn took out her gun, clocked it and aimed it right at Chuck's head.

'I wouldn't finish that sentence. I plan on letting you go Chuck, so play nice. Otherwise I may have to re-jerk my plans.'

'Why are you doing this?' Chuck asked.

Putting her gun down, she answered…

'She killed me Chuck. I was never going to forget that and she has made my husband's life hell ever since. That makes her an enemy in my book. That's right…I've been following Shaw, and you have no idea how much I wanted to come out and protect him. I know you had a hand it this all Chuck, but you were never pulling the strings.'

'Shaw was a bad guy….we had to take him down. You have no idea what his plans were'.

Evelyn snapped back…

'He was like that because of your wife. He was never like that, he was a good man and this is what she turned him into. I'll be careful Chuck, she has a habit of reeling people in before having to how do I put it…take care of them…'

'She's not like that anymore. Please….leave her alone. She was only following orders'

Shaking her head and shrugging of any plans in where she would 'leave her alone' she laughed before adding…

'So am i…..my own orders.'

Back with Sarah…

Waiting anxiously for Casey to find her, Sarah paced back and forth. Having cried out all her tears…she had nothing left. Still pacing, Sarah heard the distance sound of a car approaching. Pulling up was Casey, he left his car and was hit with the violent wreckage in front of him. Noticing Walker at the side, he ran over to her.

'Walker….are you ok? he asked Sarah.

'Yes I'm fine. Have you got anything, anything at all to give us a clue who these people were?'

Having done some digging earlier, Casey came up empty. For the first time, he had absolutely nothing to go on, nothing to point them.

'Walker…..I don't know. All I know there was 3 of them. And I think one of them was possibly a woman, I could hear the sounds of high heels. Let's get back to castle and we will contact Beckmen. I'll get Verbanski down here too; we're going to need all the help we can get. Get in the car'.

Heading back to Burbank and straight to castle Sarah's phone began to ring. She picked it up right away not seeing Chuck was on the display.

'Where is Chuck' Sarah said in desperation.

'Sarah….it's me.'

'Chuck, Chuck hunni are you ok, where are you? Are you safe?'

'Whatever you do…don't come for me…you hear me Sarah…don't…..'

The phone had been ripped from Chuck's hand by Evelyn. She whispered to Chuck…

'That's not what you were supposed to say'.

'Hello Sarah' she said down the phone.

'Who is this, where's Chuck'.

'Chuck's safe…for now. How long for depends on you and Casey….is he there with you right now? I bet he is.'

'I swear if you hurt him, I will hunt you down and k…' before Sarah finished, Evelyn interrupted.

'Kill me? How can you kill me twice Sarah?'

Not understanding who this person was, Sarah was left reeling and confused. Evelyn carried on.

'C'mon….Chuck had trouble guessing who I was; I didn't think you would too. You looked right at me and pulled that trigger. Well….not at me, but you know'.

Sarah growing increasingly irate had no intention of playing games.

'You really have no clue do you. I'll tell you what, I'll give you my name and you will have 24hrs to find me. No guesses for what happens after 24hrs Sarah. My name….well that would be Evelyn Shaw. Goodbye Sarah.'

And with that she had ended the call. Sarah….absolutely hit with shock, started having a panic attack and started having trouble breathing.

'Casey…..ple….stop the car..n..now'.

Noticing the signs of a panic attack, Casey immediately pulled over and tried to calm Sarah down. He fished through his bag sitting on the backseat and pulled out some water.

'Walker….just breath ok, stay calm…..and drink this'.

Calming down, Sarah rejected the water and managed to bring together a sentence.

'Evelyn….Evelyn Shaw. She has Chuck'.

Looking at Sarah, Casey couldn't believe what he had just heard.

So guys…there it is. Hope you enjoyed it. Next chapter up soon. Please review, thanks.

Update - I'd like to express my view on a review left regarding this chapter. This is all fictional and there is room here to expand stories that appeared in the series. Yes Evelyn Shaw was a traitor, ergo she needed to be dealt with...my take on it on was that Evelyn was with the Ring the whole time and sussed out this plan and put another woman in her place. The reason she kept quiet to her husband will be addressed in coming chapters, the was a reason she kept quiet. Also my take being is that although she was a traitor, Shaw was not until he found out that Sarah killed her and he turned to the ring to get back at her. Evelyn followed it all but never wanted to out herself as this would have made her a serious target. Why would you put yourself out there to be killed? The reason she has come out now will also be addressed, but primarily she wants to get back at Sarah and to bail Shaw out...wherever it'll happen I wont say yet. And her not taking Sarah when it was her she wanted...well it was explained in the chapters. Taking Chuck would hurt Sarah far more then taking her straight away, yes she wants Sarah and to get her...but taking her husband is a way of toying with her before finally taking her.
