Chuck vs The Bracelet
Chapter 2: Along Came A Spider
As Chuck arrives in Castle, he's greeted by a hard at work Casey.
"You're late." says Casey.
"Well technically I'm the boss. So... can I be late?" Chuck jokes.
Casey responds only by saying. "Guhh."
"But Morgan is gonna be a little." says Chuck.
"And why is that?" asks Casey.
"He's busy doing some wedding stuff with Alex."
"Well, if he were doing anything else besides making sure my daughter is happy, I would be mad." says Casey.
"Anything to report on the work front?" asks Chuck.
"No. Not really. Just finishing up some paper work from the last job."
"Hey. I've been meaning to ask..." says Chuck.
"Yeah?" says Casey.
"How much longer do you think you're gonna stick around?"
"What? You sick of having me around Bartowski?" Jokes Casey. "Well... with the wedding around the corner, I was thinking I'll probably just stay until then."
"Okay." says Chuck.
"Why?" asks Casey.
"Just so Sarah wouldn't worry so much about me being here without her. And the fact that she is still on leave."
"How are they by the way? Her and the baby I mean." asks Casey.
"They're great. Little Stephen is healthy and doing fine. Sarah is a fantastic mother. The only thing is, I think she's getting a little, 'anxious', to get back to work. Which I don't blame her. Ellie said that after a few month of taking care of Clara, that she started to feel kind of the same."
"Walker is a life long spy. It only makes sense that she would want to get back in the action." says Casey. He then changes the subject by saying. "Hey. Come look at this."
"What?" says Chuck as he walks over.
Casey turns the computer to him, showing him a government report. It says, 'Codename: Lazarus, Current Status: Deceased'. "Looks like that smug bastard finally got what he deserved." says Casey.
"Is this report accurate? And how did you get it?" asks Chuck.
"Still have some of my government contacts. Figured that I would wanna know. After all, we went through one hell of a time because of him. Especially you." says Casey.
"And their sure its him?" asks Chuck.
"Everything looks like it is. DNA and dental records confirm."
Chuck doesn't really say anything. Just looking at it as a, it is what it is, type situation. They both quickly move on though as Morgan walks in. "I thought you were coming in late?" asks Chuck.
"I was." says Morgan. "But thankfully as soon as we walked in, Alex saw some flowers that she really liked."
"Did she like them? Or does she love them?" asks Casey in a harsh voice.
"Oh no. She loved them. Trust me." says Morgan.
"Good... For your sake. My daughter deserves the best for her big day." He says as he walks over and hands him a stack of files. "Now get to work, Moron."
"Guys, I'll be right back, okay." says Chuck. "There's some yogurt in the fridge that I've been thinking about all morning."
Chuck walks over to the kitchen. Eating and enjoying his yogurt. As he turns around, he gets pinned against the fridge, and a gun is put in his face, by someone dressed in all black. And is wearing a helmet with a voice modulator.
"Charles Irving Bartowski. Listen very carefully. You will be allowed to live... if you answer my questions. Where is the bracelet?" says The Man in black.
Chuck flashes and pushes the man away, knocking the gun out of his hands in the process. They begin to fight, exchanging blows, The Man in black even grabs one of the kitchen knives at one point, slashing at Chuck until it gets kicked out of his hands. While they are both locked in a hold, the Man in black tells Chuck. "If you insist on making this more difficult than it has to be, Mr. Bartwoski... then I will be forced to kill you. So, allow me to retort. Where is the bracelet?"
At that moment, Morgan walks in. "Dude, you mentioning that yogurt has got me to want one now." He stops as soon as he see's what's going on. "Oh crap... Casey!"
The Man in black then kicks Morgan, sending crashing against the wall. Chuck grabs hims, pulling one of his gloves off. Without the glove, it is revealed he has a tattoo. A spider on the back of his hand. Casey rushes in with his gun ready, and shoots off a couple of rounds hitting The Man in the chest. The Man however is wearing a bullet proof vest and is fine. He jumps out one of the windows, and is nowhere to be seen after that.
"Who the hell was that?" asks Casey.
Chuck, still catching his breath, says. "I don't know. He kept asking about a bracelet." Chuck, now without being bombarded with punches, has time to think about wat he was asking and comes to realize. "Wait... Sarah's charm bracelet? Sarah! Casey, we have to get back to my house. Come on! Morgan, let's go!"
Morgan is still on the ground against the wall, but starts to get up. Though, he is still a bit shaken from being kicked. "Yeah... Yeah... I'm coming... I'm almost there... All I wanted was some yogurt."
