Sarah layed in her bed as she tossed and turned as if she were having a nightmare. She suddenly woke up gasping for air. She brushed back her hair back with her hand and wiped the sweat off her forehead. She turned on her side table lamp and lied back in bed. She stared at the ceiling for what seemed like hours. She then took her hands and placed them over her eyes before dragging them down to her cheeks. She put her hands behind her on the pillow and pulled herself up to a sitting position. She tried to recall her nightmare she had woken up from. Sarah thought long and hard before coming to the conclusion that her dream had involved Nicholas Quinn. She got out of bed and grabbed a drink of water. Sarah then picked up the phone and called Chuck.
CHUCK'S HOUSE
...
The phone buzzed on the bed side table by Chuck's bed. He woke up to the alarming sound and grudgingly picked up the phone. As soon as he realized it was Sarah he answered it immediately.
"Hello." Chuck stated as he placed the phone to his ear.
"Chuck, I think that I remembered something. In a dream." Sarah said feeling bad for calling Chuck at 4 in the morning.
"Really! In a dream?" Chuck wondered
"Well, more like a nightmare." Sarah said with a frightened tone in her voice.
"Are you okay?!" Chuck said now sounding frightened.
"No I'm fine. Thanks for asking." Sarah said as she smiled a little
"Well what was it about?" Chuck asked
"I was in a dark, old factory, I believe, and I was tied up in a chair. Quinn was there doing something and I was screaming in pain. That's all I remember." Sarah said Chuck covered his mouth and running his hands through his hair, realizing what his wife has just remembered.
"Oh I also remember these shiny cards that I kept seeing." Sarah said Chuck just figured out how Quinn got the intersect to erase her memory.
"Yah that is a memory." Chuck continued, "It is how Quinn used the intersect to torture you. He tied you up and showed you cards that made you flash. At least that is what I assume based on your information."
"But Chuck wouldn't- Ahhh!" Sarah screamed in pain She dropped the phone and fell to the floor holding her head.
"Sarah, baby! Sarah!"
Sarah continued screaming in pain as she held her head tight.
"Sarah, baby keep the phone on, I'm coming!" Chuck rushed out of his house with no shoes and still was wearing battlestar gallactica pajamas. He ran to his car and started the engine. He drove the car to Sarah's apartment running every red light and going way over the speed limit. He finally got to the apartment complex and got into the elevator. He then raced down the hall and tried to unlock Sarah's door. It was locked so he tried to call for Sarah but he could only hear her scream in pain. He took his foot and kicked the door open rushing to Sarah's side. He put one of his arms under her knees and one on her back and put her on the bed. He kept rubbing Sarah's back as he called Ellie.
"Hello?" Ellie said on the other end of the phone. "Elle I was on the phone with Sarah when she started screaming in pain. I went over to her apartment and she was holding her head. Elle I think it has something to do with the intersect. What do I do?"Chuck yelled as Sarah started to grab Chuck's hand.
"Okay first thing is to calm down. Now go get a rag and wet it with cold water." Ellie said Chuck rushed over to the kitchen and grabbed a rag and wet it with ice cold water. He ran back to Sarah and placed it on her forehead.
"K now what?" Chuck asked Ellie
"Okay, now go get her a couple of aspirin."
"That it?" Chuck asked "That should suffice. It just sounds like the intersect is causing a major migraine. She will still be in pain but try and keep her calm. If she flashes call but other than that she should be okay. If there are any more problems just call." Ellie said
"Thanks sis. Love you."
"Love you too." Chuck hung up the phone and rushed to the medicine cabinet in Sarah's bathroom. He grabbed a couple of aspirin and a glass of water for Sarah. He went over to Sarah who was staying to calm down with the rag being on her head. Chuck gave her the aspirin and the water and brushed the hair out of her face as she took the medicine. He gently stroked her back as she sat up.
"You okay." Chuck asked still rubbing Sarah's back.
"Yah. I'm better." Sarah answered
"You should get some rest and I promise I will fix that door." Chuck said
"Okay, and Chuck.. Thank you." Sarah said Chuck took the glass of water from her hands and placed on the kitchen counter.
"Well I better get go-"
"Chuck what if it happens again? The pain, what do I do?" Sarah interrupted
"Do you want me to stay here. I can just sit in the chair and check up on you every now and then. If that would make you feel better." Chuck awkwardly stated
"Would you?" Sarah politely asked
"Of course." Chuck would always be there for Sarah. Always. Chuck waited out the rest of the night checking up on Sarah. He would replace the rag on her head with a cold one and every time he did she would stir in bed. But he was gentle. Morning came and Chuck left. He told Sarah if she needed him to just call.
