Chuck vs The Bracelet
Chapter 9: Midnight Madness
Team B all gather around the Buy More. Taking the places they agreed upon. Casey is across the street, and is ready with a sniper rifle filled with tranqs. Morgan and Laz are in the van, on the other side of the Buy More. And Chuck and Sarah are in the back lot, waiting for Edgar.
"When do you think he's going to get here?" asks Sarah.
"He said eleven thirty. But it's almost midnight, so who knows." says Chuck.
"Casey?" says Sarah. "You good?"
"Yeah." Replies Casey. "I hope this son of a bitch gets here soon. The quicker I get to blow his head off the better."
"Just keep your eyes open. And remember when I give the signal, tranq him." says Chuck. "Morgan? How about you?"
Morgan takes a second to check some things out, then says. "Good here, Chuck. Ready for anything."
"Alright. Laz?... Laz?... Laz!" Chuck keeps on saying.
"Yeah, yeah, I heard you the third time." He finally replies. "Good to go... whenever."
"Everything alright on their end?" asks Sarah.
"Sounds like it." says Chuck.
"I just want this to be over. I'm so sick of having to leave little Stephen behind." says Sarah.
Chuck grabs her hand, to comfort her, and tells her. "Me too, baby."
As they continue to wait, Big Mike comes out from the Buy More's back entrance, with Subway sandwiches in hand. "Bartowski's?" He asks when he sees them.
"Big Mike!" says Chuck, surprised to see him. "What a... what are you here?"
"I had to stay late to do some paper work. Managers job is a busy one after all. And I was taking some Subway for a little midnight snack. What are you two doing?" As Chuck and Sarah scramble to think of something to say, Big Mike sees that they're holding hands and come to a very 'interesting' conclusion. "Ah... say no more. I see what's going on."
"You do?" asks Chuck.
"Yeah. You're holding each others hands, Sarah's wearing a sexy outfit..."
"I always dress like this." says Sarah.
"Me and Bolonia did the same thing after we were married for a while too." says Big Mike.
"And that was?..." asks Chuck.
"Oh my god, why'd you ask?" Quickly says Morgan.
"You guys are experimenting by being, 'intimate' in different and strange places." says Big Mike. "Now I don't want to be in your way anymore, so I'll leave. But if you're really looking for a great spot, try the roof. Bolonia and I can't recommended it enough."
"Shoot me, please." says Morgan, hearing everything through the com.
"Alright, you kids have a good night." says Big Mike.
Chuck and Sarah, awkwardly, say goodbye as well. "You know... that all doesn't too bad, does it? When this is all over, do you might... wanna?.." asks Chuck.
Sarah gives off a little smile, and says. "When this is all taken care of, then we can talk."
A few more minutes go by, until Edgar finally arrives. He steps out of his car, with Spider accompanying him. "Mr and Mrs. Bartowski. Forgive me for being late. But when you running your own company, things can get in the way. You understand?"
"Guys, be ready." says Chuck.
"Now... about that bracelet." says Edgar.
"Why do want it?" asks Chuck. "The truth this time."
"I think you probably know why by this point or else you wouldn't ask me that. The Intel on that thing, can greatly help me in my future business dealings. I don't even want the bracelet itself. I just want what's in it."
"How do we know you still wont try something?" asks Sarah.
"When I get the Intel, then I'll have no further use for any of you." says Edgar.
"That's exactly what we thought." says Chuck. "Casey." He says, giving him the signal. But nothing happens. "Casey?" He says again.
Edgar smiles, and tells Chuck. "Oh. Is this who you're asking for?" He gives a signal of his own, and two his men come out with Casey being held at gun point.
Chuck doesn't know what to do, he's surprised that Edgar seems to be two steps ahead of him.
"Okay. I gotta be honest." says Edgar. I didn't set this up to ask you to give it to me. I asked you here to take it."
"That's not happening." says Chuck.
"Sure it is." says Edgar. "Isn't that right... Laz?"
Laz comes in holding Morgan at gun point, and says "Geez. What the hell took you so long? And don't feed me your fashionably late crap... Jackass."
"He caught me by surprise, Chuck. Sorry." says Morgan.
"What are doing?" asks Chuck.
"I think it's pretty obvious what I'm doing." says Laz.
"You should have heeded my advice, Chuck. Never trust a thief." says Edgar. "By the way, Laz, you got the bracelet?"
Laz reaches in his jacket pocket, and throws it over to Edgar. "There ya go. And I want to be paid twice as much as before, got it?"
"You'll get paid Laz, don't worry." Edgar says as he admires the bracelet.
"You son of a bitch!" Yells Casey.
"Wow. You were all so easy." says Laz as he laughs. "But no hard feelings, right? Money is money after all. Now I know, I know. Me betraying you. Who ever saw that twist coming?"
"To be honest, I kind of find it disappointing it took you this long." Chuck says in an angry tone.
"Really? Huh... well in that case." Laz then takes Morgan by the collar, throws him away from him, and shoots Morgan twice in the chest. As Morgan's body lay on the concrete, and Team B look on in shock, Laz says. "Now THAT'S a twist!"
