The Trip Up North

Chapter 5: Loopy Sarah

Sarah's Safe house

Denver Colorado

6:45 A.M.

Chuck woke to the sound of someone falling, he sat up and looked around with droopy eyes, his hair was a mess and he honestly looked like shit. Chuck stood up and walked up stairs, once there he found the bathroom and knocked. He could hear the shower going and what he thought was cursing.

"Sarah, you okay?" he asked in concern. Meanwhile on the other side of the door Sarah was lying flat on her back buck ass naked in the shower having fallen. Her shoulder was in all sorts of pain and she couldn't extend it to get up. As awkward as this was about to become she need his help.

"I slipped and fell. I can't stand up, the door is unlocked." Hearing the desperation in her voice he immediately opened the door. Once inside he saw her in the shower, the curtain had been ripped down and there she was with a big grimace on her face.

"Help please." She muttered over the hiss of the flowing water, her left arm was covering her chest and her right was lying limp over her body. The first thing Chuck did was turn the water off, once that was done he paused to think about what to do next.

"What hurts Sarah?" he asked, he saw her reluctance at first but she sighed and spoke.

"There is a sharp pain in my right shoulder, I hit it on the side of the tub." He stood back and continued to think.

"So Sarah how should I stand you back up?" she simply shrugged not knowing the answer herself. Chuck nodded finally having a plan.

"Okay Sarah I'm gonna lift you up, this might hurt for a little while, but before I do this I need to see you shoulder blade." She nodded and flipped her wet hair out of the way to show it to him. She had a big bruise forming above her rotator cuff near the joint; he nodded and took off his socks. Sarah watched him take off his socks in bewilderment.

"Chuck how are you going to do this?" he stepped into the shower behind her and looked down at her lying there.

"I'm gonna put my hands under you arm pits and lift you up quickly. This may hurt for a little while but I promise to make it up to you some time." She nodded unsure how to respond to that last statement. She watched as he stuck his hands underneath her arms and got a firm grip.

"One, two, three." He lifted her up quickly and forcefully, she gasped in shock more then pain. Before she knew it he had his arm wrapped around her torso to keep her steady.

"See there we go, I didn't hurt you too bad did I?" she had to smile at his concern; it was just like him to worry so much.

"I'm fine I'll be sore for a while but I'll live," she paused not knowing how to ask what she needed to ask.

"Chuck, I can't use my right arm. I need help drying off, can you dry my back?" Chuck looked like a deer in the headlights as he swallowed in fear.

"S-s-sure I c-can." He stuttered nervously as he grabbed a towel and handed the other to her. Sarah really felt bad, not because of her shoulder but because of the torture this must be for him. It was obvious to her that he was still in love with her just from the way he looked at her yesterday, and now here he was asked to look at her naked and asked to dry her back. Sarah couldn't see his face but she could imagine that he didn't know where to look considering that from an ironic twist of fate her chest was facing the mirror. Chuck shuddered when he touched her back; he had to focus on helping her, that's what he was doing. If he let his mind wander who knows where his thoughts would take him.

Once her back was dry he put the towel around her waist and stepped back, she covered her chest and turned to look at him. Sarah was positively radiant with her naturally curling blonde hair and glowing nature about her.

"So don't take this the wrong way but you want me to go get you something to wear? This isn't an excuse to look at your underwear I just left the bags in the car and I think it would be best if I went instead of you in your current state of dress." She found it so cute when he got nervous like this and she could tell he was looking for an excuse to leave and avoid any more torture, so she simply nodded yes with a smile on her face.

"Sure Chuck that'd be great." She giggled as he practically bolted for the door. While he was gone she took the time to dry her neither regions and check out her shoulder. There were just some things that were to mean to do in front of him, like drying her privates. She really appreciated him for doing this but she could tell it was really hard for him to look at her like this after wanting for so long.

Chuck was so glad to get out of there, not because she was unattractive or anything like that, she was the most beautiful woman he had ever seen. It's just that he couldn't take anymore of the torturous moment. Chuck quickly grabbed their bags and went back inside. Once inside he opened her suitcase and pulled a simple pair of underwear, after that he picked what he thought was a cute shirt pants combo and headed back upstairs. He knocked on the door and waited until she said it was okay to come back in. he set the clothes down on the counter and went to leave when he heard her speak.

"Chuck, um can you help me dress? I only have one good arm and I could really use the help. I know this is awkward for you but I'd really appreciate it." He swallowed once again and nodded, stepping back into the room. She handed him the pair of boy shorts and had to giggle at the desperate look on his face.

"Chuck just put them on the ground so I can step in then help me pull them up on one side, I get that this is kinda torturous and believe me it's frustrating for me too." He nodded silently and helped her step into them; he closed his eyes as she dropped the towel to the ground. Once they were properly in place he stood back up to his full height and grabbed the bra, he put the strap around her useless right arm and brought it all the way up so that she could put her arm through the other.

"I'll clasp the back after you, adjust everything." his seriousness made her chuckle.

"Wow you're a guy, I figured you'd be chomping at the bit to touch these girls if you know what I mean." He stopped what he was doing and looked at her.

"I'm not going to respond to that." Sarah laughed heartily causing her chest to jump a little; Chuck just looked down and groaned in frustration.

"God this is so hard." He muttered under his breath.

"You can say that again," said Sarah as she looked at the tent in his pants. Chuck put his hands over his face in embarrassment.

"Sarah please." He was practically begging at this point. Sarah saw the desperate look on his face and knew that she had taken it to far with that last comment. You could see the embarrassment, sexual frustration and nervousness all over his face. That's when she realized that she was taunting him with her assets and she hadn't even noticed. Not only did he have to touch her wet naked body he had to dry her off, even more then that he had to go pick out her underwear and help put them on her. Sarah turned around and looked into his eyes.

"Hey look I'm sorry for taunting you, that was mean and I truthfully didn't realize I was doing it. I get that you find me… attractive and having to basically touch but not touch would be so hard that I don't know if I could do it if our roles were reversed. Lets get this done quickly so you can deal with your own predicament." She darted her eyes down quickly towards his waist before looking up into his eyes. "So what else did you pick out for me?" she said in a cheery tone. He smiled at her thankful that she understood what this was like for him.

"Well Ms. Walker today you'll be wearing a blue button down blouse and a pair of formfitting white calf length Capri's." he held them out to show her and was happy with her reaction.

"Oh that's cute, you have very good taste." He blushed a little at her flattery and began to help her with the pants. Once she was wearing them Chuck grabbed the shirt and helped get her arm through it. After that he stepped back in front of her to help her with the tiny buttons. She looked in the mirror and had to admire his taste. She shouldn't be surprised that he picked this; it was his favorite of all of her looks after all. Sarah gave him a bright smile and spoke.

"Thank you, for helping me Chuck, you have no idea how much of a life saver you are for this, I definitely owe you one." She gave him a kiss on the cheek and left to get her medicine kit.

7:15 A.M.

A little while later Chuck walked back down the stairs after his really cold shower clad in a towel, he turned the corner into the kitchen and saw Sarah knock back a couple pills of some kind.

"Taking some meds?" he asked as he grabbed his suitcase. Sarah jumped a little bit and looked over at him. Sarah's jaw nearly hit the floor as she laid eyes on his toned chest.

"Chuck, oh my god when did my favorite nerd develop such breathtaking muscles?" Chuck had to hide the smirk on his face, Sarah looked very hot and bothered, which confused Chuck to an extent.

"Well you know, with all the running and screaming I've been doing lately it was only a matter of time before I developed some sense of muscle tone. By the way how does you shoulder feel?" Sarah visibly winced when she moved her arm.

"It still really hurts and I have a high pain tolerance, maybe I pinched a nerve or something. I just took a really powerful CIA pain killer so I'll be pretty loopy for most of the day, I should start to feel it in about an hour and a half, so if you've ever wanted to ask me anything that will be the time. Don't worry I trust you enough to drive my car unsupervised." Sarah chuckled at her last statement. Chuck smiled at her before leaving to go dress. As he put on his shirt he couldn't help but think about just how trusting Sarah was at the moment. She was different it seemed, she was so relaxed and carefree. Chuck was actually kinda enjoying himself on this little journey.

The Road

9:30

2 Hours Later…

Chuck was struggling to focus on the highway ahead of him with loopy Sarah sitting next to him. She was babbling on about everything and nothing at the same time and it was absolutely adorable.

"So Chuck I've been giving this a lot of thought lately and I've gotta say… if we ever do have sex it's gonna be aaaaaawesome." Chuck swerved a little when she leaned over close to him.

"Sarah easy there I'm driving your car and sober Sarah would kill me if I hurt this car." Sarah pouted adorably and replied in a pout sexpot voice.

"No she wouldn't your too sexy, who would she or is it me… I don't know, anyways who would she masturbate to at night?" Chuck's eyes shot wide open as he looked at her in shock.

"Wow you are so high Sarah." Chuck laughed quietly as Sarah frowned.

"Why don't you want me Chuck? I don't get it. Am I not sexy to you, is it because I'm a blonde instead of a brunette?" Chuck pulled over to the side of the highway and simply looked at her.

"Just tell me why, I'll dye my hair if that's what it takes." She began to cry which totally exasperated Chuck,

"Hey no it's not that at all no its just wrong place wrong time. Believe me I want you I just can't right now." Her mood changed like a light.

"So you do love me!" Chuck raised his eyebrow at her sudden mood shift.

"I knew it," she said as she banged her fist against her thigh like a four year old, now Chuck had absolutely no idea what was going on.

"Um Sarah, what pain killer did you take?" She thought about it for a long while before speaking.

"Um… Pentatrapaxon." Chuck flashed.

Pentatrapaxon, used to treat severely injured agents in the field.

Typical dosage is one pill, but it's not uncommon for agents to take two.

A dosage of two pills usually lasts between ten and twelve hours.

A dose of three or more has a high rate or fatality.

Side affects include loopy behavior, mood swings, drowsiness, extreme honesty and increased arousal.

Reports of loss of memory after drug has left system have been documented.

Chuck gave Sarah a shocked look as he connected the dots in his head.

"Oh my gosh you took two didn't you?" she nodded yes with a dopey grin on her face.

"Don't worry Chuck I didn't take enough to kill me I'm not stupid." Chuck turned back to face the road and go back to driving. Minutes later Chuck heard a soft moan and turned his head slightly only to see Sarah with her hand.

"Sarah! What are you doing?" he asked full well knowing the answer.

"What does it look like? You're really sexy when you're angry you now that." He reached over with his right hand and removed her hand from her pants.

"Sarah trust me I'm doing this for your own good when I say that you have to stop that right now. Eventually you'll sober up and when that happens you'll be really embarrassed if I tell you that you did this in front of me." she gave him an adorable pouty face as she spoke.

"Fine be a buzz kill." It was a testament to his driving skills that he could do all of this while driving. Chuck simply shrugged knowing that this was going to be a long day.

I-70 E Near Hays Kansas

12:30 P.M.

3 Hours Later

Sarah had fallen asleep and Chuck was relieved, Loopy Sarah as he had now dubbed her was a handful. He looked over at her and had to smile at the content look on her face. He saw he legs crossed really tight and knew she must have to go to the bathroom, when he really thought about it he could use a bathroom break too. Chuck looked for the next rest stop and pulled in.

"Hey Sarah wake up." He cooed softly, "Sarah, sweetie it's time for a bathroom break." He nudged her left arm (the good one) gently and was surprised when she reached out like a flash and grabbed his throat, he choked and gagged loudly and he saw her pull a knife with her right arm, which must be feeling better.

"Sarah! Stop it's me Chuck!" he sputtered in desperation, realization appeared on her face and she released him. Chuck coughed for several minutes, as Sarah sat there in shock and horror.

"Oh my gosh what have I done? Oh Chuck I'm so sorry." She rubbed his back softly as he continued to hack.

"Jesus Sarah, why do you still have your knives with you?" Sarah was still pretty doped up but she could see how having her knives was a bad thing. She quickly unstrapped the set of knives from her thigh and handed them to Chuck who was rubbing his now bruising throat.

"Chuck, oh gosh I'm so sorry, that was my agent training kicking in." he nodded as he stepped out of the car, Sarah did the same.

"Don't worry about it, I understand." He smiled at her trying not to grimace from the pain his throat was in. Sarah came around the front of the car and gave him a hug. He heard a soft snivel come from her. Chuck looked down at her and saw tears running down her face.

"Sarah hey stop it's no your fault, I knew something like that could've happened so stop beating yourself up about this." He grabbed her chin and made her look at him.

"Chuck you don't understand I'm your protection I'm not supposed to hurt you and even more then that I'm your friend and friends don't choke each other. This is not okay to me." he wiped her tear stained cheeks and kissed her softly on the lips. She got lost in the kiss and could still feel his lips on hers after they had parted.

"Why did you do that?" she asked which caused him to smile even brighter.

"You were spiraling and beating yourself up over something small and insignificant so I kissed you." She had to smile at him as they separated from their embrace and went inside to the bathrooms. There was a small food court in this rest stop so Chuck stopped and got them some food for lunch. They ate in comfortable silence in her car before getting back to the highway. Chuck had only one hand on the wheel the other was laying idly on the center console. Sarah gave him a sideways glance before taking his hand in her and simply holding it. Chuck looked at their hands and smiled contently at her.

Shell Gas Station

Kansas City Missouri

6:47 P.M.

6 Hours Later

Sarah had fallen asleep several hours ago and Chuck had driven in comfortable silence the whole time. They had talk a little, well Sarah babbled like her usual dopey self and he listen and laughed. They had stopped for gas and Chuck had just gotten back from the Quik-E-Mart where he had bought snacks and drinks for the both of them. He just stood outside of the car and breathed in the fresh air as the sun started to set. He was about to get back into the car when he heard a scream. He turned around and spotted a woman being dragged into an alley by a group of gangbangers, they were across the street a couple hundred feet away but Chuck could still see her. He turned to Sarah and spoke.

"Sarah I need you to do a big favor for me," she nodded "Do not under any circumstance leave the car, I'll be right back." He went to get out but Sarah grabbed him.

"Where are you going?" he sighed, time was a factor and he needed to hurry. He was about to leap a million miles out of his comfort zone.

"I just need to leave, stay in the car Sarah and I promise that when we get to st. Louis I will give you a massage." She seemed to perk up at the thought of that, she nodded and smiled. Chuck got out and went to the trunk where he pulled out a pistol and a spare clip. He tucked the gun into his shirt and crossed the street. He found the alley and peeked his head around and looked inside, the woman was wrestling with three teenage boys. The woman's blouse was ripped and she had tears in her eyes. Chuck pulled out the gun and walked into the alley with the gun drawn.

"Hey freeze!" he shouted getting the three boys attention. He moved closer to them and watched as they turned to him, one of them had a bat he was obviously the leader of the group.

"Let her go! Now!" he commanded, one of the boys let her go and she ran behind him. She distracted Chuck for a split second and that's when the leader struck. The leader swung the bat and hit Chuck in the ribs causing him to fall to the ground and drop the pistol in the process. The three boys attacked him in a flurry of punches and kicks until a long gunshot rang through the early evening. One of the boys shrieked in horror and pain as the bullet ripped through his thigh. The three boys all looked at her in shock before running and hobbling away in ones case. Chuck stood up and turned to her.

"Are you okay?" he asked as he took the pistol back from her and put it away. She chuckled at him.

"I think maybe I should be asking you that. My names Alex and I'm fine just a little shaken." He walked with her to the Porsche had her wait while he put the gun away and got the med kit. He had her lean on the car as he cleaned the small cut on her forehead, once that was done he put a Band-Aid on the cut.

"So Alex is there somewhere you need to be, because I'd be happy to give you a lift. I don't have a clue where you'd sit in the tiny car but I could make it work." She chuckled at him and shook her head no.

"That's okay my car is just over there but thank you anyways and thank you for saving me from those thugs." He nodded and watched her leave.

Chuck put the med kit away and climbed back into the small car, he winced when he say down from the brand new bruise on his stomach.

"Hey, you okay?" asked Sarah in concern

"I'm fine." He replied tersely.

"Okay." Said Sarah in a cheery voice as they pulled out of the gas station and got going again.

The Luxury Motel

10:27 P.M.

3½ Hours Later

Sarah was once again sleeping in the car, which was parked at in a spot in front of the motel. Chuck was getting a room fro the night and he was glad that they took cash. When he got back to the car he carefully woke Sarah up.

"Chuck? Where are we?" she looked around in confusion.

"We're in St. Louis Missouri at the Motel for the night. Lets get you out and into bed you look tired. He opened her door and watched her get out. She looked at her watch and couldn't believe the time.

"Oh my gosh, Chuck, it's 10:30 have you been driving all day?" he nodded "Why didn't you make me drive?" Chuck looked at her in confusion until it dawned on him that Sarah must be sober and the drug is now out of her system.

"You were drugged all day, don't you remember?" she nodded no.

"Actually I don't remember much, wanna fill me in" he had a conflicted look on his face. "Chuck, tell me what happened today." She demanded, Chuck nodded and they moved their things into the room.

Sarah sat down on the bed and watched as Chuck slowly did the same. Both of there stomach's growled loudly and Chuck saw a perfect opportunity to stall.

"So Sarah I have to go pick up some things at the Large-Mart down the street and I saw that it had a subway. I was thinking while I am there I can get what I need and pick up some dinner. What do you want on your sandwich?" Sarah noticed the obvious stall tactic but decided to let him off the hook. She was hungry after all. So after telling him her order she watched as he left. Chuck got into the Porsche and drove to Large-Mart. He needed to pick up some new shampoo and some massage oil, he knew that she didn't remember but he still made a promise and Chuck Bartowski doesn't like breaking promises. After grabbing the things he needed he got their dinner and headed back to the room.

Sarah was really curious to find out just what happened today, she knew the side affects of the drug she took and could only imagine the day Chuck had dealing with her. She looked up and saw him walk inside. He set both bags on the table and handed Sarah her sandwich. They sat on the bed and ate in comfortable silence, once finished Sarah sat back against the headboard and spoke.

"So Chuck how bout you tell me what happened today." She crossed her legs and smiled at him Chuck swallowed and thought of where to start.

"Okay Sarah here is the tale of loopy Sarah," Sarah laughed at his name for her today. "So you babbled on about nothing for most of the day when you weren't sleeping but there was a few highlights if you will." Sarah had a bad feeling in the pit of her stomach, "The first big highlight was when you told me how aaaaaawesome it would be if we ever had sex." Chuck laughed at the horrified look on her face. "After that you started messing with me to which I told you that you should stop because sober Sarah would kill me. That's when you said that sober Sarah wouldn't because I am to sexy and she wouldn't have anybody to masturbate to if she killed me." Sarah buried her face in a pillow in horror, shame and pure embarrassment, Chuck continued "Then you asked me why I didn't want you, you asked me if it was because you were blonde and said you'd change to brunette if that's what it took. You actually started crying for a little bit until I told you that I do want you I just can't right now, to which you replied that you knew I loved you and started acting kinda like a four year old it was absolutely adorable." Sarah was shaking her head into the pillow in total disbelief.

"Oh my god could this get any worse." She muttered into the pillow just before Chuck spoke again.

"Just wait Sarah it gets better. A couple minutes later I caught you with your hand down the front of you pants, you were masturbating right there in the car." Sarah looked up at his in complete horror, her cheeks a rosy red color.

"You're lying." She accused to which he shook his head no.

"I wish I was but I'm not. After I stopped you from finishing if you will. You called me a buzz kill and began to pout. A couple hours later I stopped at a rest stop in Kansas and woke you up from a nap. You proceeded to start choking me and I actually had to stop you from carving me up with a knife." Sarah just couldn't believe this, she had totally embarrassed herself in front of him, to say he had a tough day would be an understatement.

"I'm sorry about that by the way, the rest stop is the one thing I do remember perfectly." Sarah got a small smile on her face as she remembered the kiss.

"There is more, a couple hour of babbling later we stopped in Kansas City to fill up the gas tank for the last leg of todays drive. I saw a girl getting mugged or something so I told you to stay in the car promising you that if you complied I'd give you a back massage later tonight." Sarah's eyebrow shot up in confusion. "I got out a gun and went and saved her. I took a good shot to the abs but I'll live. She actually shot one of them, which scared the rest away. Nobody was killed and after I gave her a Band-Aid she went on her way. " Sarah stuck up her hand to stop him right there.

"So normally I'd be furious that you put yourself in danger like that, but today I'll give you a pass only because I was otherwise indisposed at the time and you had no other options." He nodded in shock that she was taking it so well.

"Also, Chuck, you don't have to give me a massage if you don't want to. You've had a long day and you've done enough taking care of me for one day. I would love it if you did give me one but I would never expect you to do that after all you done for me today like driving the whole way." She smiled at him and watched him get up and got over to the bag.

"Actually Sarah I made you a promise and I intend to keep it." Chuck pulled out some massage oil and set it on the table. Sarah watched the way he walked and the overall way he looked and decided it was tie to do something for him for a change.

"Chuck... I don't want a massage, but I do want to give you one." He looked at her kinda shocked. "Chuck you look exhausted and I think you could use a massage." he looked conflicted so Sarah spoke again in a soft voice as she got close to him.

"Chuck you've done so much taking care of me lately that I would feel guilty if you didn't let me do something a simple as a back massage." He finally nodded and just stood there not knowing what to do.

"Chuck, go change into some workout shorts or sweatpants and loose the shirt I'll get the towels and everything else ready." He nodded and went to change. Sarah watched him walk away before going to the closet and getting a couple towels. While Chuck was Changing in the bathroom he took the time to look at the large bruise on his abs. when he walked back into the room Sarah had a couple towels over the middle of the bed and the bottle of oil and another bottle of lotion ready on the bed side table. She motioned for Chuck to lay down and once he had she straddle his waist looking down at his toned back. Chuck looked very relaxed and that made her happy.

"Are you comfortable?" he simply nodded, which caused Sarah to giggle. she squirted some oil onto his back and began to rub it into him. Chuck shivered involuntarily which made Sarah smile knowing that she still had that effect on him.

Sarah spent the next half hour or so massaging all of the knots and tension out of him. at one point she noticed something on his lower back applied some pressure to a specific spot until she felt a small pop. Chuck moaned from the feeling of release.

"What did you just do, it felt amazing." Sarah chuckled quietly.

"I just realigned a vertebra in your lower spine that was out of position slightly." He had a big dopey grin on his face and Sarah slid off of him and simply sat down next to him.

"Thank you so much for that Sarah, that was so relaxing." She smiled at him as he sat up facing away from her with his legs hanging over the bed, Chuck yawned and looked at the clock.

"Oh gosh it's late we should go to bed." He stood up and grabbed a pillow from the bed and went to the closet to grab a spare blanket.

"What are you doing Chuck?" he looked at her like it was obvious.

"I'm gonna sleep on the floor, I figured you'd want the bed and I wouldn't want to impose." Sarah gave him an exasperated look and patted the left side of the bed.

"Get in bed Chuck, I refuse to allow you to sleep on that nasty floor. The only reason I didn't wake you up last night was because you were so asleep, so for future reference you're sleeping in the bed with me instead of a crappy couch or hard floor." He nodded in understanding and climbed into bed, only to watch Sarah stand up and face away from him as she removed her shirt. He looked away, always being the gentleman.

"Chuck don't worry I don't care if you look, it's not like you haven't already seen everything anyways." Sarah winked at Chuck before putting on an old shirt that Chuck recognized as one stolen from his wardrobe. He smiled at the shirt she chose and laid down next to her.

"Isn't that…?" Sarah shushed him tersely and put a finger over to his lips.

"Yes Chuck just leave it alone." She felt him nod,

"But where did you get my…?"

"De de de de not now Chuck." He silenced himself as Sarah turned off the light and snuggled up close to Chuck resting her head on the crook between his chest and his neck. He tried to move away but Sarah squeezed tightly.

"Just let it happen Chuck." He took a deep breath and swallowed nervously sweat running down the back of his neck.

"Yes mama." Sarah smiled into his chest and sighed. They both laid there like that. Just before Chuck fell asleep he muttered in a sleepy voice the three words that Sarah had been longing to hear for so long.

"Goodnight Sarah, I love you." He didn't even realize what he said he just said what felt natural and to Sarah that was the best part of the whole trip. She fell asleep with a content smile on her face.
