Chapter 3: The Son of Frost

September 9th 2008

Highway 5, Burbank California

8:55 P.M.

Team Bartowski sat in the comms van cruising down the highway, if they didn't get there in time they would miss their window of opportunity. Mohammed Rahim Abdullah or Rock owned a yacht and said yacht was leaving tonight and if they didn't get there in time they would lose him. Mohammed Rahim Abdullah was a known arms dealer who was currently supplying Fulcrum if they could take him down then it would deal a major blow in the war against Fulcrum. Abdullah's yacht was one of the biggest in the world a mind blowing 590 feet. The CIA couldn't just blow it up that would cause a major stir in the media and they diffidently didn't want that.

"How much time do I have Chuck?" asked Sarah as she whipped in and out of traffic at terrifying speed. Chuck looked at his watch.

"18 Minutes." Sarah stomped on the throttle watching the speedometer reach 100.

Rahim took another long pull of his scotch as he looked out over the bay, it was a warm night a little warmer then most. In just a few minutes he would be leaving having delivered the weapons his bosses requested. He couldn't wait to get sailing again he honestly hated this country with all of their freedom. It disgusted him to no end, society should be controlled not left to manage itself. That's what attracted him to fulcrum they believed that this country was going in the wrong direction.

"Rock!" he spun to look at the beautiful woman as she swam topless through the large poo, she got close and rested her arms on the edge of the pool and looked up at him.

"Come in honey the water is beautiful." He smiled at her set his scotch down on the table next to him and let the towel around his waist drop to the ground. He took one step forward and dove into the cool water of the his pool. She swam up next to him and kissed him on the cheek.

"I wonder if there's a reason they call me rock." He said as she forced him against the edge of the pool wrapping her legs around his waist.

"I don't know but I'd love to find out." She purred in a low husky tone as she discovered the true meaning of his nickname.

Sarah power slid into the main gate leading to the pier, as soon as they were stopped Casey and Sarah leapt from the van. They each grabbed a silenced M4 and a vest and started towards the yacht. They stopped and turned to Chuck.

"Stay in the car Chuck." They said in unison causing Chuck to simply shrug and nod. As they approached the yacht they couldn't help but think of the other things at stake in this operation such as the undercover CIA agent Elise Williams. Her cover was blown and if they don't get her now… well when Rock finally killed her they'd be doing her a favor. Sarah and Casey looked for any sign of security, strange not a security guard in sight. Crewmen were busy with any last minute things completely oblivious to the two government agents quickly approaching. Sarah and Casey quickly eliminated the two crewmen closest to the gangway and boarded the boat. Chuck sat in the van twiddling his thumbs when he noticed two vans drive by heading towards the boat. He watched as each van unloaded six armed gentlemen. Oh God he thought as he franticly thought of what to do.

"Shit." He said as he got out of the van and went to the armory section of their vehicle. Chuck opened the door pulled out a vest grabbed a silenced M4 and a pistol and plenty of ammo. He closed up the van and quickly sent a text to Sarah.

Heads up twelve armed hostiles entering boat right now on my way.

Sarah pulled out her phone and cursed under her breath as she read it. she showed Casey the text and spoke very quietly.

"We need to get to Elise, you go get her and I'll get Chuck after that we'll take out Rock." Casey nodded and they split up. Sarah walked back down the side of the ship when she spotted the men Chuck was talking about. They were probably 300 feet away but Sarah quickly got to cover Shit.

Elise cried out one last time as she faked yet another orgasm for this bastard.

"Wow rock that was incredible best yet I think." These pigs ate that shit up. He smiled at her as she swam away.

"So Elise my friends tell me that you are a CIA agent is this true?" Elise stopped swimming instantly and noticed the five or so guys with guns. She subconsciously swam away from Rock until she was against the edge of the pool.

"I don't know what you're talking about honey, I'm not a CIA agent I would never betray you like that." She really stressed the pouty sexpot voice. Rock nodded ever so slightly and Elise shrieked as a man standing behind her pulled on her long brown hair before two others lifted her naked body out of the pool. She fought and struggled until the man hit her with the stock of his gun right in the gut. She gasped as she hunched over in pain. Rock who by now was wrapped in a robe pulled her hair so that she was looking at him.

"It's a shame you were such a beautiful woman." He said as he groped her private parts she stared daggers at him before spitting in his face.

"Fuck you, you disgusting pig." He stepped back and wiped the spit from his face. Rock stepped forward and punched her in the stomach once twice three times before stepping back to watch her cry out in pain, Elise spit the blood in her mouth out onto the deck and looked at him weakly.

"You punch like a pussy." He chuckled at her but the smirk on his face quickly turned into one of rage he walked to one man and grabbed his pistol. He walked around her admiring her perfect rear end and long toned legs. Elise heard the click of the slide as it moved forward chambering a round. The cold steel of the barrel surprised her causing her to yelp quietly; he paused just before he was gonna pull the trigger and thought.

"You know what? I have a better idea. Since you like to fuck so much how about rewards for the hard work that my crew does on this ship. I figure the 200 hundred crewmen onboard should satisfy you seemingly endless sexual appetite." He got really close to her ear and spoke.

"I look forward to throwing your disgusting used up body into the ocean you pathetic disgusting whore." That's when the shot rang out into the night killing the man on Elise's right. Realizing this was her chance she tried to get free but Rock quickly ended that thought when the bullet exploded out of the front of her chest. Blood splattered in all directions as everybody burst into motion. Elise's body crumpled into a heap as she fell lifelessly into the pool the water turning red with her blood, she was dead before she hit the water.

Sarah heard the gunshots and figured this was her chance she quickly left her cover and opened up on the twelve men. Pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop seven of the twelve slumped to the ground instantlybut the other five quickly returned fire forcing Sarah back into cover. Chuck having heard the gunshots quickly ran across the gangway onto the boat and dove for cover when he saw them. They were all firing at Sarah. Chuck looked down at the gun in his shaking hands he hated the thought of taking a life but he didn't really have a choice. Casey was pinned down to an extent, he had killed most of the men with Rock but unfortunately he was too late. The bullets whizzed by Sarah as she delivered a killing shot to yet another man. Only four left, Sarah stood up still behind the wall she was using as cover and pulled a grenade off of her vest she pulled the pin and threw it as hard as she could. she heard a lot of yelling followed closely by a defining boom. Sarah realizing that her M4 had been hit pulled out her Smith and Wesson 5906 and walked out to Check for survivors. She rounded the corner and was quickly met by fire from a lone man he was currently standing in the middle of the deck about 20 feet from her. She shot several times in his direction but kept missing because of his fire at her. She finally had enough and moved out to shoot at him click Jammed? She watched as he stood there his stance wobbly from the grenade, his chest bloodied from the shrapnel. He slowly raised his Uzi to kill her a smug smirk on his bloody face the whole time. Sarah closed her eyes waiting for the end when she heard a loud gunshot, her eyes opened slowly and she looked around her body checking for any wounds when she looked up. There stood Chuck the barrel of his M4 smoking a horrified look on his face.

"Chuck?" he simply stared straight ahead in horrified shock as Sarah walked up close to him, as Sarah took the M4 from his grasp she saw his hands shaking. She gave him a brief hug hoping that it helped before stepping back.

"I need to go help Casey, go call Beckman get us some backup and a cleaner crew." When he didn't move she raised her voice. "Chuck go get out of here." She ran away heading straight for the fight near the pool.

When Chuck reached the van the first thing he did was collapse to the ground and begin heaving. Once he finished throwing up he wiped his mouth off then got in the van to call Beckman. He picked up his phone with shaky hands he could barely dial the phone. Once it started ringing he sat back in his chair in silent shock.

"Beckman secure."

"Chuck Secure general we need help." Beckman almost choked on her tea when she heard that it was Chuck.

"Mr. Bartowski how'd you get this number? Don't answer that what's your status?" Chuck took a deep breath and spoke in as calm a voice as he could muster.

"Well general Casey and Sarah are locked in a gunfight with an unknown number of hostile targets, Sarah killed twelve more and we still haven't acquired the status of Agent Williams. Requesting immediate backup and a cleaner crew to our location ASAP." Beckman furrowed her brow the situation had diffidently gotten complicated.

"Okay sit tight help is on the way." As the phone call ended Chuck heard the guns fall silent and immediately thought the worst. Chuck hopped out of the van and pulled his pistol. It wasn't to long ago that Sarah and Casey decided that it was time he learnt to shoot guns and proper usage skills. He hated every minute of it but was so thankful that they had done it right now. He ran to the ship and across the gangway onto the main deck. He raised his gun as he made his way down the side of the ship. He had never really comprehended how truly massive this ship was, it simply blew his mind that someone would build a ship so big. As Chuck reached the aft section of the boat he started seeing the bodies of dead men all over the place.

"Casey? Sarah?" he called quietly, he turned the corner and saw them standing there looking at a dead woman in the pool. Sarah saw him almost instantly and rushed to his side.

"Chuck what are you doing I told you to go to the van." He simply put his gun away and walked over to the bar, he reached down and pulled out a bottle of Jack Daniels he opened it and took a long pull. It burned on the way down but he didn't care it was numbing his already frantic nerves.

"I called Beckman up and got us backup and a cleaning crew, when I heard the guns stop I got worried so I came here to check to make sure you two were okay." He looked at the man cuffed to a chair.

"Is that Rock?" Sarah nodded yes and Chuck walked over to him.

"Well look who it is the prodigal son returns." Chuck furrowed his brow. "Chuck Bartowski right? Been awhile since I've hung out with a member of the Bartowski family." He laughed knowingly.

"How do you know my name?" Rock simply laughed, "I used to work for some pretty bad people even worse then Fulcrum. I don't need my Fulcrum Intel to identify a Bartowski." Chuck shrugged and walked away.

"Never knew Frost would have a kid." Yelled Rock as Chuck flashed, since Chuck had his back turned Rock never saw the flash. to Rock Chuck looked like he just stopped.

CIA Agent Mary Bartowski killed by Alexi Volkoff on October 10th 1998

Sarah saw the look of heartbreak on his face turn to rage as he slowly turned to Rock.

"Bastard, you filthy bastard. You got her killed." The look of fury on Chuck's face would intimidate any man. Chuck pulled out the pistol he had been carrying and chambered a round. Sarah saw what Chuck was about to do and quickly rushed to his side just as Chuck pressed the barrel to Rocks forehead.

"Chuck no don't, it won't bring her back please put the gun down." The tears streamed down Chucks face as he looked at Rock.

"My dad abandoned Ellie and I on October 11th 1998 one day after my mother CIA agent Mary Bartowski was murder by Alexei Volkoff. This man is singlehandedly responsible for destroying my whole family. This man is responsible for Ellie having to give up her childhood to raise me. this man deserves to die." Sarah placed a hand on Chuck's arm and spoke as calmly as possible.

"Put the gun down please. Just give me the gun." Chuck dropped the gun onto the ground as Sarah captured him in a heartbroken embrace, Sarah just moved Chuck away from Rock and motioned for Casey to take care of it. as Casey watched the two of them leave he couldn't help but feel sorry for the kid this was one hell of a way to find out that your mother had been murdered. Casey turned to Rock.

"I'm gonna enjoy this." Chuck could hear Rocks screams from the dock. As they reached the van Sarah pulled out her phone and sent Casey a text.

Casey felt his phone vibrate so he pulled out a hand towel at the bar to wipe the blood off his hands. As he pulled out his phone he looked at the now dead body of Rock.

Chuck's losing it gotta get him out of here gonna take the van catch a ride when the cleaner crew gets here.

Casey just knew that Chuck was gonna be messed up for a while so he just sighed and sat down.

Sarah and Chuck got into the van and Sarah turned the van on and drove away. Chuck hadn't said much in the last fifteen minutes he had just sat there with a thousand yard stare, it broke her heart to see him like this. She knew that it was taboo in the CIA to have feelings for an asset but she truly didn't care. She cared about him simple as that; now that's not saying she loved him or anything that drastic. Keep telling yourself that. No she diffidently cared for him, she cared for him a lot more then she should at least and she knew that she had to do something before he fell off the cliff into the abyss that is depression. As they drove right by echo park Chuck turned to look to her and spoke for the first time in a rather long time.

"Where are we going my apartment is back there." Sarah smiled at him and patted him on the thigh. "We're going to my hotel room, you are in no condition to go home." He simply nodded as they pulled into her buildings parking lot. Once inside her room Chuck collapsed onto the bed and just sat there. Sarah looked at her clock which read 11:02 P.M. she turned back to Chuck not quite knowing what to do. Sarah walked over to her bed and sat down next to him intertwining her hand with his.

"It gets better over time you know, eventually the pain goes away." She gave his hand a squeeze. His lip quivered as a lone tear ran down his cheek followed closely by another, then another. Finally the pain he was so desperately trying to hold in came pouring out in anguished sobs. He buried his head in her shoulder as he continued to bawl. Sarah held him close kissing the top of his head in an attempt to comfort. In all of the training she got from the CIA comforting someone was not part of it. "I know sweetie I'm so sorry." As he started to calm down he extricated himself from her arms and went to straighten his appearance.

"Sorry you didn't need to see that." He stuck his hand up in an attempt to wipe his tears. She gazed at him heavy-hearted.

"Chuck look at me." he turned to her. "My job as your handler is to protect the intersect but my job as your friend is to protect your soul, your heart, your mind. I've made it my mission as your friend to help you through this so there is no need to be ashamed if you cry in front of me. I wouldn't expect anything less after the night you've had. Trust me Chuck, trust me with your heart, your soul, trust me to take care of you when the pain becomes to much or when the world seems like it's crashing down around you. Trust me to protect you, to comfort you and maybe someday even love you. Can you do that for me Chuck? Can you trust me?" he shook his head awestruck. "Of coarse Sarah." she smiled at him before kissing him on the cheek. "I don't know what's worse the fact that you killed a person or the fact that you found out your own mother was murdered. I know the feeling of sadness that accompanies tragedy like this I know how abandonment feels. Chuck I want to tell you a little story, ten years ago both of my parents were arrested and if it wasn't for this nice guy who came up to me at a random diner I don't know what my life would be like." He gave her a strange look trying to decipher her vague story. "I only saw him once but it really helped me in a time of crisis." When he still didn't get it she simply stuck her hand up and brushed a unruly strand of hair out of his face. "You know Chuck I never did get that Rocky Road." A look of realization overtook his face as he looked at her wide-eyed, she giggled as she extended her hand.

"Hello Chuck long time no see." He shook her hand and chuckled as he stumbled to form a coherent thought.

"S-s-so what you're saying is that wonderful girl I talked to in Malibu so many years ago was you?" she gave him a kinda sorta look.

"Technically yes but no, Samantha Burton was killed on may 14th 1998, Sarah Walker was born on September 10th 1980 in Maine. My actual name is Sarah Walker." Even if it wasn't I'd still want to be Chuck's Sarah. "I'm here for you Chuck you don't have to face this alone." He gave her a grateful smile.

"Thanks Sarah I don't think I could do this alone." Sarah began to soothingly rub his back as they continued to talk for several minutes until there was a pause. They stared into each other's eyes, she was gonna kiss him he could feel it. He's gonna kiss me oh please kiss me… WAIT! What are you doing? You can't kiss him he's your asset and you are not compromised. You've gotta get out of this before it's too late. Sarah turned away and stood up leaving Chuck confused and disappointed. She walked over to her closet and spoke as she flipped through her nightwear.

"I want you to sleep here for tonight." He nodded yes and quickly looked anywhere but at Sarah as she changed. Sarah looked at the clock 11:37 P.M. time for bed.

"So which side of the bed do you want?" he swallowed slowly before simply taking his position on the left side of the bed. He took off his jeans and they both got under the covers.

"Goodnight Chuck wake me if you need anything." Sarah leaned over an gave him a light kiss on the cheek before lying back down and turning to face away from him. She didn't know why she kissed him it just seemed like the right thing to do. Great just send him some more mixed signals while you're at it. She didn't like pushing him away but it was what she had to do to keep him safe. She hated seeing the confused sad look on his face every time she pulled away from him but as long as he was safe then it was what it was.

3:00 A.M.

Sarah felt a sudden jolt and slowly opened her eyes. Why am I rising and falling? Oh god I'm snuggled up to Chuck. Sarah raised her head off of Chuck's chest and looked at his face as he thrashed around obviously having a nightmare. She shushed him soothingly causing him to look at her half asleep "Your okay Chuck it was just a nightmare go back to sleep." He gave her a dopy smile as Sarah went back to lying on her side facing away from him. suddenly Sarah's eyes widened in shock as Chuck's arms wrapped around her waist pulling her close to him.

"Goodnight I love you Sarah." Sarah simply stared straight ahead swallowing slowly. After a few minutes she relaxed significantly and snuggled into him and fell asleep. She knew that she shouldn't have but it just felt to good to stop.

8:00 A.M.

When General Beckman came on the screen she was surprised to see only case at the daily morning briefing.

"Major Casey where is Agent Walker and the Intersect?" Casey responded quickly.

"Well ma'am last night Rock said something to the intersect that caused him to flash on his own mother. Turns out rock got CIA Agent Mary Bartowski or Frost killed in 1998. Obviously Chuck is a wreck I can Imagine that Sarah is doing whatever is necessary to make sure the intersect is okay."

Meanwhile at Mason 23…

As the light of the morning shined through the window illuminating the room, his arm wrapped around her waist their fingers intertwined. her blonde hair glistening in the sunlight like golden strands of silk. Sarah lied spooned against Chuck his arm around her. Chuck had been awake for several minutes just enjoying the feeling of her in his arms. Neither of them had said anything Sarah had just laid there stroking his hand gently. Chuck moved his fingers slightly until he felt Sarah wrap her hand around his. She turned her head to look into his eyes, then they attacked each other in a flurry of motion. Chuck wrapped his arms around her as he kissed her like it was the end of the world. As they continued their frantic kiss Sarah grabbed two handfuls of his long brown hair and held him close. By now Chuck was on top of Sarah as they continued to kiss franticly, they broke the kiss when air became a problem. He gazed down at her beautiful flushed cheeks, her eyes glazed over clouded with desire. Their breaths were labored as she smiled up at him and just as quickly as it had started it was over Sarah pushed Chuck off of her and stood up.

"I'm so sorry I shouldn't have done that." Sarah rushed into the bathroom and closed the door behind her. Sarah leaned against the door as her mind reeled she had kissed him. she had been the aggressor at first not him, that wasn't okay. Meanwhile Chuck just sat there totally stunned for a second he let himself think that maybe she had wanted that but turns out he was wrong again.

When Sarah exited the bathroom fifteen minutes later she found her room empty except for a note sitting on her table. She walked over to it and picked it up as she read the note it broke her heart just a little bit.

Sarah,

Sorry to leave so suddenly I figured I'd save you the awkward silence. I apologize I guess I got the wrong idea I'll try to control myself better next time. Thanks for last night I really needed you and you really came through for me, I really appreciate it. don't worry I called a cab I'll see you later. Usually I'm not this blind around women I'll admit I can be pretty thick sometimes but with you I'm totally blind, but I guess that's what love is.

Sincerely, Your Chuck

Of coarse he blames himself Sarah felt horrible she couldn't believe that she just did that to him… again. She just whiplashed him, she built him up until he couldn't be built up anymore then she ripped it out from underneath him. It was that kind of stuff that he didn't deserve, he just admitted for the second time in as many hour that he loved her and she just pushes him away. It was so sad how many times she had hurt first there was the mission with roan where she called him 'just an asset' then the fiasco with Bryce happened and it all went to hell. Jill came along and they both hurt each other. Christmas, the suburbs, Cole Barker how many more times could she hurt him before he had enough. What saddened her the most is that she knew no matter how many times she pushed him away he would never stop loving her. She knew, he knew hell Casey knew it. he had tried to move on from her more then once but it hadn't worked out either time. He loved her too much an they both knew it. One day she would make this up to him, all of it, all of the lies all the mixed signals, all the rejection. She would make it up to him somehow he deserved it.

Casa Bartowski

15 minutes later

When Chuck came in through the door Ellie launched herself at him.

"Chuck where have you been? I was up all night worried about you." She wrapped him a tight hug and buried her head in his chest.

"You know not to do stuff like that." He simply shrugged which didn't go unnoticed by Ellie.

"You know maybe I was a little preoccupied last night so I'm sorry I didn't call you." Chuck quickly stalked away into his room and slammed the door. A couple minutes later Ellie stuck her head into his room only to see Chuck sitting on his bed blasting away at some videogame she thought it was probably Halo. She had seen him play and he was good but not like this, he was a machine nothing touched him. Chuck had an angry scowl on his face as he mercilessly killed anything in his path.

"Chuck can we talk?" he didn't answer so she walked in to his room and sat on his bed.

"Chuck I know that I baby you sometimes but you have to understand you're the only family I got. So if I have to get after you sometimes its only cause I love you. Come on talk to me Chuck what's wrong." He said nothing except.

"Eat plasma grenade motherfucker." Ellie just sighed in resignation and got up to leave when she heard Chuck speak.

"I'm gonna break up with Sarah." Ellie stopped in her tracks and turned around.

"What!? Why would you do that?"

"I'm tired of her bullshit, some days she loves me other's it's like I'm not even a person. Some days were super close and intimate others she's detached and cold I can't take anymore of this emotional roller coaster. I'm gonna do it tonight and that will be the end of it." Ellie just stood back in shock what could have possibly happened to make him so angry.

Sarah slumped back in her chair as she listened to Chuck and Ellie speak. she knew she shouldn't be so upset but she was, she had chased away, the only good man she had ever known. Way to go Sarah now even Chuck hates you, She had to fix this but how? He was clearly mad at her for this morning. That's when the idea struck her she quickly put on some shoes and grabbed her keys she needed to get to the Buymore.

25 minutes later…

As Chuck continued to frag people in Halo he got a notification that Morganator69 wanted to chat.

"How strange why is Morgan on? Big Mike band playing Halo." He accepted Morgan's chat request.

"Hey Morgan, I thought you can't play Halo at work anymore?" there was a slight pause.

"Hey Chuck we need to talk." Said Sarah causing Chuck to nearly choke on the Dr. Pepper in his hand.

"Sarah what are you doing on Morgan's XBOX live account?" said Chuck into his mike as he killed another Spartan on the red team.

"Chuck we need to talk okay? I'm at the Buymore on the XBOX in the home theater room It doesn't matter though. Just listen… I'm um I'm so, so very sorry, all I do is lead you on and you don't deserve to be treated like that. You are a smart funny charming man and you're forced into this shitty situation where you have a fake girlfriend who you have to be intimate with when others are around. But when it's just us all I do is push you away. I feel terrible when I do that to you and I truly wish that it was different but it's the hand we've been dealt. Please just give me one more chance." Once she finished speaking she waited anxiously for his reply.

"I'm sorry Sarah but I think we should end our cover relationship for good this time. I can't endure this torture anymore, When we have to kiss and be all-fake together its like slow torture because I want it to be real so bad. Then we go on missions and you give it to other men, you give them the one thing I want the most. I just can't do this anymore, I'm sorry but you're out of second chances." Chuck turned off his XBOX and simply sat there. He had done it, but was it what he really wanted No regardless of whether he really wanted it, it was for the better.

At the Buymore…

Sarah sat back against the couch in utter shock. He dumped me again. She couldn't believe it he actually gave up on her. The tears once again began to fall she didn't know why it saddened her so much but it did. Her job had once again taken away what Samantha wanted, Sarah Walker the cold-blooded enforcer always came first. Morgan stuck his head in the door and immediately saw the distraught blonde.

"Hey Sarah what's wrong?" she looked over at him her lip quivering.

"He dumped me!" she sobbed "The first man to truly care for me and I chased him away. What am I gonna do? I can't live with out him but he hates me." Morgan sat down next to her and brought her into a comforting embrace.

"Hey listen to me it's gonna be okay he doesn't hate you. Just give him some time so that he can sort himself out." Sarah wiped her eyes and looked at him.

"Do you think he'll take me back?" Morgan nodded "Of coarse he will and if he doesn't then you'll just have to win him back." She wiped at her eyes trying to stem the flow of tears.

"Sarah listen to me we all care about you, Chuck, Ellie, Devon, Me we all really like you and whether he sees it or not you are the best thing to ever happen to him. you are the person who got Chuck out of the dark cloud that his life had become, you did that not me or Ellie." Sarah smiled

"Thanks Morgan I'm glad Chuck has a friend like you." Morgan just nodded and gave her a friendly smile. Sarah got up and walked out of the Buymore as she past Casey he stopped and watched her. Whatever had just happened she wasn't at all happy about it.

XXXXXXXXXX

3 Week Later…

To say things were miserable would be an understatement you could cut the tension with a knife. Chuck and Sarah never spoke to each other both trying their hardest to avoid each other. Anytime they actually talked all they did was argue violently. The only time they ever talked peacefully was on missions, Chuck never left the car, which for all intents and purposes was a good thing. Chuck had grown increasingly hostel towards people constantly fighting with Casey and Ellie. Sarah had become distant not talking to many people, all of this was starting to affect the performance of Team Bartowski. Casey was becoming increasingly annoyed and had finally had enough it was time to act. Casey knocked on Sarah's door and waited until he heard Sarah unlock her door. She opened the door and looked at him. she looked raged, her hair messy and matted in places, no makeup, bags under her eyes. You could see the redness in her eyes signaling that she had been crying.

"What do you want Casey?" she walked away leaving the door open as an invitation to come in. he took a moment to look around her room, it was a mess. There was a large stack of Rom-Coms and sappy Chick flicks on the table next to her DVD player and a rather large stack of used tissues on the floor next to her bed.

"Oh god It's worse then I thought." She simply gave him a dirty look as she plopped down on her bed used tissues flying all over the place. Sarah grabbed the DVD player remote and resumed watching The Notebook.

"Walker we need to talk." She simply nodded as she watch her third sappy movie of the day and the fifteenth of the week.

"I'm gonna cut straight to the chase what is the deal with you and Bartowski? This is getting ridiculous you two haven't spoken to each other peacefully in weeks. What did he do to hurt you so much." Sarah sighed and paused the movie once again.

"I don't know what you mean Casey Chuck simply ended our cover relationship so I've done the right thing and given him space. What is there to talk about anyways all I ever do is hurt him." as her last sentence came out you could feel the palpable bitterness dripping from her tongue. Casey sat down on the edge of her bed and looked at her.

"Sarah I just don't get it you two are so obviously in love with each other and yet all you do is push each other away, why?" she scoffed and replied angrily.

"I don't know what you're talking about though I care for him I'm not and never will be in love with Chuck, he is simply my asset that is all." Lies Sarah got up quickly and walked away from him towards her mini fridge as she face away from Casey she used all of her will power to reign in her quickly frazzling emotions. Casey just looked at her in vexation as he stood up. "That's bullshit Sarah if you weren't in love with him then him ending your cover relationship wouldn't have effected you so much." The fact that he called her Sarah told her of the sincerity of his last statement and as much as she loathed crying in front of Casey she couldn't stop the tears as they fell. Her head fell into her hands as she wept still facing away from him.

"You're right I do love him why deny it. I love him more then anything else in my entire life. I chased him away and I can't win him back, but that was to be expected you can't continually reject a man and think that he won't move on. I wish our situation was different I wish I could be what he wants me to be but I can't. As soon as Beckman found out she would reassign me and I would never see him again. I'm sorry I shouldn't bother you with this." Sarah grabbed another tissue and wiped her eyes.
