AN!: I've gotten some reviews and PM asking about Chuck's comfort level around the other women, as well as some requests for Charah. I can only say that the explanations for both are coming along. Also don't start hating Chuck just yet. Wait until the end and see how for down the rabit hole he's going to fall before he can pull himself out. It's going to be a very fun ride.
Melissa tossed and turned in her sleep trying to get comfortable. She didn't know why she felt so bad but something wasn't right. She rolled over in bed and looked at the clock. 9:30 AM. She looked around for any sign of Chuck and didn't find any. Then she thought about it and smiled when she remembered last night. He was still with Sam. She got out of bed and tossed on a bath robe. She laid out his gray suit and bag. It was his last one, she needed to hit up a dry cleaners, and the Armani store to pick up the order she put in yesterday. She then got dressed and looked through her purse until she found it. She smiled.
Chuck felt funny. Like he was being watched. He took stock in his situation before opening his eyes. He was in his now very predictable position of being spooned up against a woman. His hand was not cupping her breast thankfully. His hand was flat against her abs, they were very firm to the touch. He inhaled and smelled coconut. Not the most pleasant smell but not bad at all. His brain made the connections and he remembered he was sleeping with Sam. He still felt like he was being watched though, and if he was holding Sam, and they were the only two people here last night, then someone else was in the room. He remembered putting his gun on the nightstand before he feel asleep. He just hoped it was still there. Taking a deep breath he tensed every muscle in his body. He sprang out of bed picking up his gun as he did so and roll across the floor coming to a kneeling position in the corner of the room with his gun up. He saw Melissa standing in the door way smiling at him. "That's not funny at all!" he said trying to get his heart rate down.
"It's a little funny." Sam said sitting up in bed, she turned to Melissa. "How did you get in?" She asked.
"With these," Melissa said holding up a set of lock picks. "I haven't used them in a long time. It took me a few tries to get it, But I still got it." she said with a smile.
"What time is it?" Chuck asked getting up off the floor.
"It's almost ten, you need to shower and get dressed for work. You've got a lot to do today. Do you need any help?" Melissa asked.
"No I've got this and if anything goes wrong I can call Jordan." Chuck said putting his pants on.
"Well get moving. You're already late." Melissa said pushing him out the door.
"All right I'm moving! You're worse then my wife!" He said as she pushed him out the door.
"Have a good day at work Honey. I'll see you later. I'll bring you lunch so you don't have to eat tofu again." Melissa said kissing him on the cheek as she closed the door. Chuck looked at his watch and sighed.
"Another day at my dream job." He said as he got into the elevator.
Sam sat up in bed when Melissa walked into the bedroom. "So how do you feel?" She asked sitting next to Sam on the bed.
"I feel good. Really good actually." Sam said rolling her neck.
"I told you didn't I? One night with Chuck makes you feel like a new woman. What did you do last night? Noting too bad I hope? I don't have to report you to Sarah do I?" Melissa asked with a smile.
"No, nothing too bad. I mean there was a few times last night when I thought about it, but no I never asked and he never offered." Sam said blushing.
"Well he will never offer, but I'm surprised you didn't ask." Melissa said with a smirk.
"Well I was going to at the shooting range last night but then he held me close and told me things. I can't even begin to tell you what he said to me, I can't remember the exact phrasing. It's like he put me in a trance with his words, but I know what he meant. I feel good today. Like I did a long time ago. I feel energized. He tricked me into shooting an M14 last night you know?" Sam said with a soft smile.
"I don't get it?" Melissa said.
"I've been avoiding that gun. I don't dare touch one. I used one three times in my career, and each time I was awarded an Intelligence Star. I used one to shoot the leader of a terrorist cell in Iran. I used one to assassinate an up and coming dictator in Honduras from two hundred yards away. I also used one as a counter sniper in Afghanistan, my one shot saved the president's life. But since I've been working for Fulcrum I don't even look at them. I had a few opportunities to use one but I didn't. I can't bring myself to use that gun for Fulcrum." Sam said looking at her hands.
"So you used it last night. Does that mean your going to join the team?" Melissa asked.
"I don't know yet, Chuck gave me a mission first. When I come back I'll have an answer for you. Why are you asking me anyways?" Sam asked.
"I want to know who I'm going to be working with silly. Plus I'm making something for the members of the team and I need to know who's joining." Melissa said.
"What are you making?" Sam asked.
"That would spoil the surprise!" Melissa said waving her off.
"Fine, don't tell me." Sam said pouting.
"Okay I'll tell you, but you can't tell anyone else. I went to a jeweler yesterday afternoon for something and I saw a case full of Rolex watches. I'm going to get us all matching titanium Rolexes with our names on them, and Team Chuck on the back. I think it will be so cute." Melissa said.
"I'd hold off on that. I think I have a better idea. Last night when Chuck held me as we went to sleep he was humming the theme song to Charlie's Angels. I think Chuck's just realized his name is Charles and he's going to have a team of beautiful women working for him." Sam said laughing. "I'd go with some kind of angel pendent for us." Sam said holding her arms up in a fighting pose. That set Melissa off too.
"If we're Charlie's Angels can I be Sabrina Duncan?" Melissa said.
"No that's Jordan. No, you're Kelly Garrett. The emotional one. Always looking to keep us together." Sam said.
"Then I guess that makes you Jill Munroe? Are you going to run off and become a racecar driver too?" Melissa asked.
"No, I'm not. If I join, I'm in it for the long haul." Sam said.
"Dose this mean your joining the team?" Melissa asked with a sly smile.
"I told you already. I've got a mission first." Sam said pushing Melissa playfully.
"If you're Jill, and Jordan is Sabrina, and I'm Kelly what does that make Kate? Kris Munroe?" Melissa asked.
"I think it does. She was the gullible one of the group, and Kate is very easily tricked. We need to help her with that." Sam said.
"There you go saying we again. Will you just admit that you're joining the team already?" Melissa said with a giggle.
"I refuse. Not until I come back from my mission. I owe it to both Chuck and myself to go and do this first. I'll be back in a few days with an answer. For the record though, white gold looks good against my skin tone." Sam said with a smile.
Melissa squalled and hugged Sam. "That's so great." Melissa said.
"Don't tell anyone. Especially Chuck. I want him to know I'm taking his mission seriously." Sam said pushing Melissa off of her.
"Of course! I'll keep it just between me and you. This is going to be so much fun. We're going to be on a team together! We're going to go on real missions! And we'll be working with the best." Melissa said bouncing around on the bed. She hopped off the bed and hummed the Charlie's Angels theme song as she did kicks and mimed shooting a gun. Sam fell over laughing. "Don't pretend you don't want to join me." Melissa said. Sam smiled and shrugged as she hopped off the bed and joined her friend. Standing back to back.
Chuck sat in his office chair watching his laptop screen as the program uploaded and reformatted the ten 1TB passport drives hooked up to a UBS tower. He was half way there. He looked at his watch and saw he had just two hours before he needed to be in a meeting with Roark. When the program finished loading he pulled the ten drives and put them in his bag. He dropped his suit jacket on his desk and slung the bag over his shoulder. He looked out of his door and saw no one was around. He shut the door behind him as he ghosted down the hall. He made it to a power junction box and pulled out his Blackberry. He texted GO to Jordan before he shut down the main breaker. When the lights in the hall went out he took out a tazer and a rubber glove. He jammed the tazer into the junction box blowing out the breakers. He then flipped the switch back on and nothing happened. He pulled out a flashlight and ran down the hall. He got to a ladder and climbed up it till he got to the hatch. He crossed his fingers and pulled the lever. When it opened he sighed in relief.
He climbed up into the server control room and pulled seven of the passport drives and plugged them into the sever computers. He then stood in the corner with his gun out and pointed at the door. If someone came to check on the severs then he was going to have to shoot them. He sat in the dark for a few minutes before the lights came on. He glanced at the server screens and saw his program was up and running. He spent the next forty-five minutes standing in the corner waiting for anyone to come in. When the program was done running Chuck collected the hard drives and climbed down the ladder. The lights were still off and in the hall way. He pull his flash light and walked down the hall. He saw a bunch of maintenance workers standing around the junction box. He walked up to then. "Does anyone know what's going on?" he asked the workers.
"It looks like the junction box fried. It's going to be about an hour before the power is up and running."
"Is there power running to the lab room at the end of the hall?" Chuck asked.
"Yeah. This box runs the lights for the rest of the building. That room is on a separate grid." The guy said.
"Could a power serge from that lab be the cause of this box frying?" Chuck asked.
"It could be? I'm not sure." The guy in the hard hat said.
"Thanks guys. Keep up the good work. This place would stop running without guys like you." He reach into his pocket and pulled out a few hundred dollar bills. "Beers are on me guys." He said handing the money to the guys. He walked into his office and found Jordan sitting in his chair. "Roark send you down?" Chuck asked. As he pulled the drives out of his bag and plugged them in to the USB tower.
"Nope, I offered to come down and see if you needed anything. Roark wants to keep you happy." She said pointing at her chest.
"What a sick bustard." Chuck said as he consolidated all of the files in to one drive.
"Yes well, I'm going to need to make out with you at the very least before I leave here." Jordan said.
"Why? Can't you just say you showed me a good time?" He asked running his patch to convert the files into Intersect images.
"Because when you spend forty-five minutes making out and doing other things you look different. Your lips swell up, and your body gets flushed and other areas get moist." She said standing up and taking off her jacket and tossing it on the desk next to his.
"Okay but give me a minute. You might want to look away from the screen Jordan I've got this cranked up to eleven." Chuck said sitting in his chair and loosening his tie. She walked around the desk and took a seat on one of the two chairs, and pulled out her blackberry. He looked at the screen and hit enter. For the next ten minutes he downloaded 643GB into his head. When the download stopped Chuck's head fell back and he passed out. Jordan was out of her seat and holding his head in seconds.
"Chuck! Chuck can you hear me? Chuck?" She said picking up his eye lids and looking into his eyes. He was still breathing and his plus was strong. There was a knock at the door. She quickly unbuttoned her shirt and pulled it off reveling a black lace bra, she reached down, undid his pants, and pull them down. Someone knocked again. She ran to the door and opened it up a crack. It was a Maintenance worker. His eyes popped open when he saw her bra. "Yes, can I help you?" She asked with a big smile.
"Um… um, yeah. Um I, is the power still on in here?" he asked with his eyes lock on her chest.
"Yes it is. Was there anything else I can help you with?" She asked.
"Ummm…no um, have a nice day Ma'am." He said falling over himself as he walked away. Jordan was about to close the door when she saw Melissa walking down the hall carrying a shopping bag.
"MELISSA! Get in here right now! We have a problem!" She said waving franticly.
Melissa ran the last few feet to get to the lab. She walked into the room and found Chuck with his pants down and Jordan half naked. "WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON IN HERE!?" She screamed.
"It's not what it looks like! I just did this incase it was Roark at the door. I'm supposed to be down here banging his brains out. But I'm not. I think he broke his brain with the Intersect!" Jordan said pulling on her shirt.
"What do you mean he broke his brain!? He can't break his brain!" She said pulling his pant's back up.
"I don't know what he did! He said he was going to download the information he just stole. He was staring at the screen for about ten minutes and then he just passed out!" Jordan yelled.
"Okay. Calm down!" Melissa said pulling out her cell phone.
"Who are you calling?" Jordan asked.
"His wife. He's had to have done this before." Melissa said exasperated.
"Hello?" Sarah asked.
"Sarah, it's Melissa. I think your husband fried his brain with the intersect. He downloaded a huge file and now he passed out." Melissa said with annoyance.
"Is he okay?" Sarah asked worried.
"Aside form being knocked out cold he's fine." Melissa said checking his plus.
"Do you know what happened?" Sarah asked with a hint of exasperation.
"I don't, but Jordan was with him when he did it. Here asked her." Melissa said handing the iPhone to Jordan.
"Jordan?" Sarah asked.
"Yes, Agent Walker, Ma'am." Jordan said standing at attention. Melissa giggled as she pulled up a chair next to Chuck's and held his hand.
"Cut the Ma'am crap. I want a report on what happened Major!" Sarah commanded.
"I was in his office when he came in Ma'am. I was sent down here to. Um… Keep him entertained. He loaded all of the files on to his laptop. I told him he needed to kiss me before I left his office so it looked like I was doing my job. You know how it works Ma'am. He said he needed to run his program first. He then hit a button and stared at the screen for about ten minutes. When the screen went dark he fell back in his chair out cold. Someone knocked on the door so I pulled his pants down and pulled my shirt off. When I got rid of the maintenance worker Melissa showed up and called you Ma'am." Jordan said.
"You did good Major. Put Melissa on the phone please." Sarah said. Jordan handed the phone back to Melissa and took a set back in her chair.
"Melissa, he's done this before, just not this bad. His brain needs to go over all of the information it just absorbed. He'll be fine in a bit. Just make sure he's comfortable and have pain meds and water handy. When he wakes up he's going to have a splitting headache. Just sit with him and he'll be fine Melissa." Sarah said reassuringly.
"So he's done this before?" Melissa asked running her hand through his hair.
"Yes." Sarah said smiling.
"Thank God." Melissa said holding his hand.
"You did really good Melissa. Just wait for him to wake up, and when he's back to feeling good I want you to smack him upside the head for being so dumb and for worrying all three of us." Sarah said laughing.
"I will Sarah you have my word on that. I'm going to beat your husband silly when he wakes up!" Melissa said squeezing his hand.
"I think it's funny how he's Chuck when he's done something good but he My husband when he's done something stupid." Sarah said laughing.
"That's right! It's your job to teach him it's not nice to scary the women that love him like that. It's not funny and it's not nice." Melissa said pouting.
"I know. I'm going to have to teach him better. I'm kind of disappointed in him. He should know better then to scare us like this. All joking aside, Melissa, I need you to do me a big favor. Jordan came down there to hook up with Chuck. She needs to look like she did." Sarah said cringing.
"I know what to do, don't worry. I've got this. It's kind of my area of expertise. I'll see you later Sarah." Melissa said hanging up. She put away here phone and dropped her purse and jacket on her chair as she stood up. "You need to sure up your cover." Melissa said coming to stand next to Jordan. She looked Jordan over and nodded. She reached out and pulled two clumps of hair out of her tight bun, she bent over and bit off the top and third buttons of her shirt, and spit them into her hand. She tucked the buttons into Jordan's shirt pocket and walked around the older woman. She grabbed two handfuls of Jordan's blouse and bunched them up making them look wrinkled. She walked up to her purse and pull out a small bottle of chuck's after shave. At Jordan's raised eyebrow she shrugged. "I'm supposed to be with him. I keep a copy of his things with me. You know the drill." She said splashing some aftershave on her hands and rubbing them together. When the cologne dried into her hands she rubbed Jordan's neck and shoulders whit her hands. "Give me your panties." She said holding her hand out to Jordan. The older woman blushed as she took off her black lace thong and handed it over. "I'll keep it for you and give it back later. I would hate to break up one of your sets." Melissa said smiling.
"Thank you. I really like this set." Jordan said looking away.
"You should, it looks good on you." Melissa said tucking the thong into her purse. "Come on, you know what happens next." Melissa said smirking.
"I haven't been with a woman since training." Jordan said blushing.
"Well I don't think we need to go that far but, lets start with a kiss and see where it takes us." Melissa said wiping her lip stick off so the two shades of red wouldn't blend together. Jordan was very hesitant at first, but as Melissa deepened the kiss she relaxed into the younger women's arms and closed her eyes. Melissa ran her hands over Jordan's body to spread the cologne around. She thought about what to do next. She didn't know how far to go, or even where to go. Then she thought about what Chuck would do. She smirked as she slid her hand up Jordan's leg and caressed her thighs. She bit her lower lip hard enough to bruise, but not enough to draw blood. She moved down to her neck and bit her on her pulse point just hard enough to leave a mark. She continued down to the junction of her neck and shoulder and marked her there too. Jordan shuddered and her knees grew weak. Melissa smiled and thought about what Chuck said. This is that power he was talking about. She ran her hand up Jordan's skirt and played with her stocking top. When Jordan shuddered again she kissed Jordan's neck and sank two fingers into her quivering sex. Jordan let out a cry of pleasure and came so hard her eyes rolled back in her head. Melissa helped her sit down on a chair.
"My God That Was Good!" Jordan said blushing bright red.
"Thank you. I'm quite good at that. I've been assigned to many Female assets, and I take pride in my skills, but what I just did to you was the Carmichael special." Melissa said picking up Jordan suit jacket and wrinkling it. "Now you've been down here for a while, and Roark is going to start looking for you soon. You have to get going." Melissa said helping her up. She walked her to the door and handed Jordan her jacket.
"I don't know what to say." Jordan said looking away.
"Say nothing. Just go, we'll talk about this later." Melissa said with a smile.
"But I mean. you just had your hand…"
"Jordan. We're going to be team mates soon. That's as close as family as far as I'm concerned. We need to look out for each other. You needed to look like you spent the last two hours getting fucked by Charles Carmichael. Now you do. It's nothing more then that. Now go back upstairs and tell that sick bustard that Chuck is too worn out to do anything so he has to push the meeting back until tomorrow." Melissa said. Jordan walked out of the room and Melissa went to sit with Chuck. She held his hand for almost an hour until he started to come to.
"Owww. My head. I'm never drinking again." He said rolling his neck.
"You didn't drink, you knocked yourself out with the Intersect." Melissa said smacking him in the back of the head.
"HEY! Why'd you do that for!?" He asked holding his head.
"For scaring Me, Jordan, and Sarah! That's why!" She said smacking him again.
"Ah. Stop hitting me! I'm sorry. I didn't mean to do that. Trust me I have way too much to do. What time is it? I need to get to a meeting, and where is Jordan?" Chuck said looking at his watch.
"Don't worry about Jordan or the meeting. I took care of her and I told Jordan to cancel it." Melissa said handing him two Aspirin and a bottle of water from bag she brought. "I also got you some lunch here." She said pulling a big sandwich out of the bag.
"Melissa! I needed to have that meeting!" Chuck said standing up, as he did he felt light headed. He fell back in his chair and shook his head.
"You are going to sit in that chair and not move mister! I'll go talk to Roark. What did you need from him? She said pulling out her phone.
"I need to request the use of Sam for a suicide mission in Washington D.C. I need him to think I'm sending her to a CIA substation to retrieve Intersect data. I want him to second her to me for two weeks. I need it to sound like I could do it my self, but I would have to stop working." Chuck said taking a bite of his turkey and Swiss cheese sandwich.
"I can do that." She said typing in her iPhone. "Is there anything else you need?" She asked.
"Yes, I need Sam's phone number, and a burner phone." Chuck said.
"Here take two, I've got three more in my bag." She said handing him two cheap flip phones. "And I just texted you Sam's number on your blackberry." She said walking to the door. "I think today proved that I'm going to have to come to work with you from now on. Then I can help you, and it will sure up my cover as your assistant. I'm going to keep your schedule, and make sure you don't do anything stupid." She said as she shut the door stopping his protests.
Chuck stared at the door for a minute after she left with a smile on his face. "I'm guessing I have no say in this?" He said out loud before going back to his lunch.
Melissa called Jordan. "Melissa?" Jordan answered.
"After all that you don't call me! You don't text my! Was I just a good lay to you? Is that all you wanted form me?" Melissa asked with a fake sob.
"Um I don't, um I'm sorry?" Jordan asked unsure.
"How's it feel to be on the receiving end of that conversation?" Melissa asked laughing.
"That was not funny! I didn't know what to say to all that." Jordan said with a sigh of relief.
"Well I thought it was funny." Melissa said getting into the elevator.
"What do you want Melissa?" Jordan asked impatiently.
"I need to get a few minutes with Roark. It turns out Chuck really needed that meeting I canceled and now I'm coming up to talk for him. He's still recovering. His balance is all off, and we can't let Roark see him like that. He'll know something's up. So I'm going to play assistant like you do. Set it up I'm on the way." Melissa said.
Melissa walked off the elevator and up to Jordan's desk. Jordan was on the phone yelling at someone. When she saw Melissa she waved her towards the door. Melissa knocked and Ted called her in. He was sitting behind his desk. She looked at the short chairs in front of his desk and instead walked over to the wall of windows. "What can I do for you?" Ted asked looking impatient.
"Chuck needs some kind of file off a secure sever in a CIA substation in Washington. He want's to leave tonight. He said he'd be gone for a few days. Maybe a week at the most. He said he might need to go on a few other little trips like this. It seams like the CIA separated the master Intersect files into a few different Substations. He thinks he can reconstruct the missing files if he has some of them. He's going tonight. He should have some of the files in a few days. He says there is very little risk of him getting caught, and if he does he can just shoot his way out. Well that's all he told me." She said walking to the door.
"Wait! He's planning to walk into a CIA substation to steal files off the computer? Files he needs to fix the Intersect? Is he nuts?" Ted asked.
"I'm of the opinion that he's sane, but a lot of people think he's crazy." Melissa said playing up her dumb call girl act.
"Out of the question! No way in hell is he going to do that! He's way too valuable!" Ted said standing up.
"Who else is going to go? I can't go. I'm not trained for that kind of stuff. And Jordan out there is a fucking dinosaur. No one is on Chuck's level. Who can you send?" Melissa asked, looking at Roark like he lost his mind. "I thought this is why you wanted to work with him?" She asked shrugging, but inside she we thinking, say Sam, say Sam.
"He is way too valuable right now to risk losing him. Do you think he would come up here and talk to me about this mission? Do you think I can talk him out of going?" He asked pacing.
No thought Melissa. She was quick on her feet though, "I Don't know if he could make it up here. Your old whore out there fucked him half stupid. I can see why you keep that old bitch around. Chuck looked dehydrated when I brought him his lunch. I think if you came down to the lab you could talk to him. Now I don't know if you can talk him out of going. He had his heart set on going himself." Melissa said looking at her iPhone.
"Do you think you can talk him out of it? Think about it Melissa, what if he goes and they're waiting for him? What if they take him, and toss him in a cell? We're going to be screwed big time! Can you… do something to change his mind?" Ted asked.
"I could have, but your old whore fucked him half to death. I also refuse to touch him with her old bitch stink on him. As far as I'm concerned she defiled my favorite toy. I'm not touching him till he's cleaned the stink of that geriatric slut off of him. Maybe the next time you want your old whore to fuck someone you should think about the consequences. Now I can go down there and put on the water works and beg him not to go but I think you need to get your ass down there and have a little talk with him. Because as far as I'm concerned I think he could pull this off with his eyes fucking closed. I think you're the one underestimating him, but if you really feel strongly about this I'd take a ride in the elevator." Melissa said with her hands on her hips and an angry scowl on her face.
"I will, but can you soften him up a little bit like you said, you know cry on him a bit. I'll give you some time. I need him to stay here." Ted said wringing his hands.
"I will, but if he wants sex I refuse to touch him after she did. She's old enough to be his mother for fuck's sake. The nasty old bitch." Melissa said aiming white hot rage through the door.
"Please Melissa. I know I can't threaten him, I can't manipulate him and if he thinks I am he'll kill all of us. The guy is certifiable." Ted begged.
"I make you no promises. But I will try to talk him out of it." Melissa said walking out the door. When she walked passed Jordan's desk she got in the older woman's face. "And you. Old bitch. If you touch my man again I'll gut you like a fucking fish!" She yelled. Jordan looked at her with fear in her eyes. Before Melissa turn to leave she tossed Jordan a small wink. She crossed to the elevator and slammed her fist into the call button and stomped in. She waited for the doors to close before she laughed. When she got to the subbasement she ran to Chuck's office. She pounded on the door and he called out "It's open" she walked in and took a seat on his lap. She grabbed the back of his head and smashed her mouth to his.
After the very intense kiss ended she pulled back laughing. "I swear. Working with you is the best ever! I just spent the last fifteen minutes yelling at Ted Roark. He's coming down here in ten minutes to beg you not to go. I'm pretty sure you could ask for His first born and he'd hand it over if he wasn't an impotent old prick. I made sure he doesn't loan Jordan out for any more play time. I also left the door open for you to make him squirm like the rat that he is. I need to make you look like Jordan first. He thinks you two spent two hours this afternoon screwing like horny teenagers. Take your tie off. Unbutton the top three buttons of your shirt, and un-tuck it." She got up took his tie and tossed it into the corner. She looked him over and shook her head. "Not good enough! I really messed her up, you need to look like you did that to her." She said staring at him. "Chuck how much do you trust me?" She asked blushing.
"With my life. You know that. Why?" He asked unbuttoning his cuffs and rolling them up.
"Well if you two did the things she said you did then you and this room would not look like this. Or smell like this for that matter." She said sniffing the air. She looked down at her watch and saw they only had seven minutes. She took off her jacket and pulled her shirt over her head. When she dropped her skirt Chuck stood up.
"Melissa, what are you doing?" Chuck asked looking at her with a raised eyebrow.
"Chuck, remember when I said if we ever needed to make it look good I wanted you to come at me with all of your charm and not stop till I told you to? Well this is that time." She said pulling off her red panties and sitting on his desk. "Charles, turn on the charm!" She said grabbing his shirt and pulling him to her.
Chuck took a deep breath and drooped into agent mode. Gone was the look of confusion. It was replaced with lust. He grabbed the back of her neck with his right hand and pulled her mouth to his. He kissed her hungrily, invading her mouth with his tongue and biting her bottom lip. His right hand grabbed her left breast through her bra and squeezed making her moan. He broke the kiss and trailed his tongue down her neck to the valley of her cleavage. "Please Charles, I need to cum so bad." She moaned. Chuck fell to his knees and kissed her stocking top. He ran his tongue over her inner thigh and nipped her soft pink flesh making her breath catch. He grabbed her legs and pushed them apart as he attacked her sex with his mouth. She came in seconds with a small scream. He sucked her clit out of it's hood and fluttered his tongue over it making her cum again this time wetting the desk with her juices. Chuck slipped two fingers into her sensitive sex and bit down softly on her clit sending her over again. She reaching out and scratched her nails across his neck and cheek. The pain made his arm jerk forcing his fingers deeper and him to blow a raspberry on her clit forcing her to cum again. She pushed him back and crawled off his desk. "No more Chuck, please." She said falling into his chair. Chuck shook his head and stood up. He wiped his hand on his shirt and helped Melissa stand up. She put her skirt and shirt back on and fixed her hair. Chuck sat down in his vacated seat and looked green. "You still feel like puking afterwards?" She asked softly stroking his face where she scratched him.
"I try not to. I know what we did was needed, and I'm thinking about what you said about your feelings getting hurt and try not to react like that. Your right to feel bad when I act like this. I mean how would I feel if I was on the receiving end of that and you turned all green and tossed your lunch?" Chuck asked with a sad look on his face.
"It's okay Chuck. I totally get it. I'm not offended by it. You just think about sex differently then I do. I wouldn't feel as bad as you do right now if we had just had a raw, nasty, quickie. It just doesn't effect me at all, especially with you. I know you, and I trust you. I love you Chuck, and if doing what we just did can help us then I'm going to do it every time. Now sit there and look mad." She said collecting her things. She sat in his lap and felt his hardness. She smiled sadly. She would never get it, yet it was so close. But then she looked in his eyes and saw how embarrassed he was. She gave him a sad smile and kissed his forehead. "I know, and it's okay. You didn't cheat on Sarah by doing with we just did, or the fact that you're excited. I'd be insulated if you weren't." She said hugging him. "Now I have to start sobbing I need you to hold me until Roark comes." She said laying her head on his shoulder. He felt her body shake before he heard the sob. He tightened his arms around her and rubbed her back.
"Melissa I want you to know I love you too. I would do anything for you, anything. Thank you for being here with me." He said kissing the top of her head. A minute later Ted knocked on the door. Chuck was about to call out that it was open when he remembered he needed to call Sam and tell her the mission was on. "Melissa I need you to call Sam and tell her she has a green light on her mission. Tell her I'll clear it with the team when Roark leaves." he said before he called out "Open!" Ted walked in and saw Melissa sitting on Chuck and crying her eyes out. The room still smelled like sex and sweat. He smiled. Jordan really knew what she was doing he thought when he saw the scratch marks on Chuck's face. That woman was very good. "Ted, I guess you're here to talk me out of going on a very important mission too?" Chuck asked rubbing Melissa's back.
"I am. Your just too valuable Charles. You have to think about the group as a whole. If you get captured or killed we're screwed big time. Who's going to continue your work?" Ted asked taking a seat in one of the chairs in front of the desk.
"Yes Chuck, think about me! What am I going to do if you die?" Melissa wailed.
Chuck flinched and pretended to be annoyed. "I am a deep cover agent Melissa, I can handle one infiltration and retrieval job for Christ's sake! I'm not made of glass you know?" He said pushing Melissa off his lap, and making her stand up.
"Damn it Chuck! I love you! You can't leave me!" She said.
"I'm an agent Melissa, we don't fall in love, you know that! Now go and get us a couple bottles of water." Chuck said smacking her on the ass and sending her out the door. "As for you Ted, I've got one question. If I don't go who the hell is going to go instead? Because I only know three people that can pull this off, and if you take me off that list we're left with that bitch that married me and ran off, and the man I kill two days ago. So who do you have Ted?" Chuck asked.
Melissa walked out of the room and down the hall to the bathroom, she pulled her iPhone out and called Sam.
"Hey Melissa, what's up?" Sam asked.
"Chuck said you're green for the mission. He said he'll call the team and fill them in after his meeting with Roark. Good luck Sam, and I'll have your angel waiting for you when you get back." Melissa said smiling.
"I'll see you in a few days." Sam said before she hung up. Sam went to her closet and pulled out a black rolling suitcase and her tactical bag. She didn't think she would need it but it was better to have it and not need it then to need it and not have it. That's what her mother always told her.
She left her apartment and hopped into a cab. She made it to the Orange-Orange in twenty minutes and overpaid the driver to forget he ever saw her. She walked into the yogurt shop and saw three people in the place. See spotted the female agent that went on the shopping trip for them behind the counter. And two other male agents sitting in booths eating frozen yogurt. Sam approached the counter. "I need to see Sarah and Carina. Carmichael has a mission for me and I need to see the team." Sam said softly so only Alex behind the counter could hear her.
"Do agents Walker and Henson know you are coming?" Alex asked with her hand one the red button under the counter.
"No, I was just given the green light twenty minutes ago and he said he'd call them when he get's out of a meeting with Fulcrum Command." Sam said looking around.
"Hold one minute please." Alex said punching a number into the register. She bent over the microphone. "Agent Walker. We have agent Glass here to talk to you." She said.
"Send her down." Came the reply.
Alex let her down into Castle and she was greeted by Sarah and Carina. "Hey Sam what are you doing here?" Carina asked looking at the two bags.
"Chuck just green lit me for my mission. Has he called you yet?" Sam asked dropping her two bags by the conference table, and taking a seat.
"What mission?" Sarah asked eyeing Sam with suspicion.
"He want's me to go on a special mission. I don't know what details I can share with you, but I can tell you I'm getting on the plane with Carina here and flying to D.C." She said.
"And you wouldn't be going to Washington to contact your sister right?" Sarah asked.
"No Ma'am, I am not." Sam said.
"As much as I'd like to believe you agent Glass. I don't. I have no idea what you're planning to do, but you're not getting on that plane." Sarah said with a note of finality in her voice.
"With all do respect agent Walker. What are you going to do to stop me?" Sam asked folding her arms.
"I can order you back to your apartment. As a senior member of this team I out rank you." Sarah said crossing her arms and matching Sam's look.
"I don't take orders form you. I'm not a member of this team. I work for Chuck. I take orders form Chuck. And I'm getting on that plane just as Chuck ordered me to." Sam said standing up and taking a step towards Sarah.
"Okay down Bitches!" Carina said getting between the two of them. "Sarah sit down on that side of the table, and Sam sit back down in that chair." Carina said pointing to the chairs. "Now Sam, when did Chuck give you this mission?"
"Last night at the shooting range." Sam said.
"Chuck took you to a shooting range?" Sarah asked looking confused. This was the first time she was hearing about this. She knew it was not part of the plan. Chuck was supposed to go to work every day and go back to his apartment every night. He was not supposed to go to shooting ranges.
"Yes, we had dinner last night and we got to talking about things we liked to do for fun. I said I used to like going to the range. He made a call to Roark and he let us use the Fulcrum range after hours." Sam said.
"So Chuck took you to this shooting range, is that all you two did last night?" Sarah asked.
"No he lost a bet and had to take me out for ice cream too." Sam said with a soft smile.
"Ice cream?" Carina asked.
"Yes it was very good. After that we went back to my place and he paid off the last of his debt." Sam said blushing.
Sarah saw red. "Did you sleep with my husband?" Sarah asked with a sharp edge to her voice.
"Yes. I did, and it was great." Sam said.
"I'll Kill You!" Sarah yelled as she shot out of her seat.
"How about Jordan?" Ted asked. He would hate to lose her but if this was important then sacrifices had to be made.
"She might be a good lay but she's too old to be good in the field any more, hell before you picked her up she was closing in on retirement. She's a good sex toy, very talented, but if she's your best then I'll have to go." Chuck said putting his feet on the desk.
"How about Melissa?" Ted asked.
"Are you kidding me? She's a whore that knows how to hold a gun. She a fucking call girl. I mean she has skill but again I don't think the files are in a bed somewhere, or in some guy's pants." Chuck said laughing. On the inside he was feeling even worse then he did before Roark showed up. But that was her cover. She was his sex toy, and they were going to use that to keep them underestimating her.
"Well how about Samantha Glass? She was one of the best agents in the whole CIA you know." Ted said.
"Is she up for this? Can you spare her? I thought she was always going on missions for you? That's what Melissa said anyway." Chuck asked sitting up.
"Well she just got back from a mission and she doesn't have anything lined up. I can assign her to you. She can be your man in the field so to speak." Ted said.
"If you think she can handle it then I will agree to stay and let her go." Chuck said holding out his hand.
"I know she's up for this. Do you want me to call her and let her know?" Ted asked shaking Chuck's hand.
"No I'll handle the briefing. It will establish a working relationship between us. If she has any questions as to who she's taking orders from I'll have her call you, but I hope that won't be necessary." Chuck said. Folding his hands on his desk.
"Good, so what are having her steal?" Ted asked.
"The original Intersect was built with no back up, but the programmers that made it backed up the data on what went into it and the programming code. They even stored some of the information from it. They took all of this information and broke it up into six files. They hid those files on six different computers around the country. The computer is in a CIA substation just outside of Washington D.C. in an old underground bunker. It has the files on the coding you're missing. If I get those files I can still reach my target goal of having it uploaded into someone's brain in three weeks. I'm hoping it's in that computer. If not she's going to have to hit another one." Chuck said.
"And where are the other computers?" Ted asked.
"Well they're all scattered around one's in upstate New York …"
"Sit back down." Carina said pushing Sarah back into her chair. "You two just slept right? No sex?" She asked Sam.
"No! I would never do something like that! I know he's married, and I know he's happy with that fact. We just slept." Sam said.
"I knew it. Sarah you have nothing to worry about. Chuck would never cheat on you willingly. I should know I've tried it and I got nothing." Carina said.
"Then what's with the blushing?" Sarah demanded.
"His last part of the bet was a foot massage." Sam said blushing so hard she looked purple.
"Okay you need to tell the whole story. We have time, and I want details. I've never seen you blush like that." Carina said smiling.
"Well like I said we went back to my place for the foot massage. He rubbed my feet while I talked. You know life story type stuff. When he was done with my feet he moved up to my calves. He's very good." Melissa said looking down and smiling.
"How good?" Carina asked.
"The best I ever had. He's got magic hands. So soft, and strong. Like him really. He was so nice to me. Pampered me for a good hour as I talked about my mother and Bobby. Growing up an agent. Even my hatred of The Enforcer. Sorry Sarah, but the truth is before I got kidnapped by Fulcrum you made me and a lot of other agents obsolete. I must say your search for me was very good. You where even in the same building as me a few times, but I couldn't let you know for fear of what they would do to Bobby." Sam said.
"How did you end up sleeping with him?" Sarah asked ignoring the other stuff. She knew she pissed off a lot of agents with her mission success rate, but what could she do about it? Suck more? Be less effective?
"I fell asleep during the massage. I woke up when he put me in bed. He helped me out of my pants, and when he was leaving I asked him to stay. He did. He held me as I slept. It was the best night's sleep I've gotten in years." Sam said.
Chuck was starting to run out of fake information, but Ted kept asking questions. He was about to ask another one when Jordan knocked on the door. "Ted your needed upstairs. The tech guy's have a butchers bill for the virus that hit the servers today." She said.
"How bad?" He asked walking her out the door.
"You know I have no idea what those guys are talking about." She said.
Ted's comment was cut off by the elevator doors closing. "My God I didn't think he'd ever leave." Melissa said walking into the lab and sitting in Chuck's lap.
"I know, I was running out of things to say. I need to call Sarah. Let her know to let Sam go with Carina. I know she's probably giving her a hard time and Sam's probably giving as good as she's getting." he said pulling out a burn phone. Me called Sarah's phone. She picked up on the first ring. "Chuck?" she asked.
"I love you." Chuck said.
"What?"
"I love you. I just wanted to get that in before anything else. I love you, and I miss you very much." Chuck said sadly.
"I love you too Chuck." She said softly.
"Now that that's out of the way your talking to agent Carmichael from here on out. Is Sam there?" He asked.
"Yes, she's sitting here telling us that you gave her a mission?" Sarah asked.
"That's right." Chuck said.
"That's Right!? That's all you have to say?" Sarah yelled.
"What should I say? I gave Sam a mission, what's the big deal? I'm not aloud to give out missions now? If my memory serves me right I seam to remember this whole plan being my idea. Have I been right so far?" Chuck asked angrily.
"How dare you question me like that! I'm mad because she walked in here telling us what to do and wouldn't share any of the details of her mission. A mission that you alone assigned to her without consulting me first. Then she says she only takes orders from you. Chuck I think the power is getting to your head." She said hotly
"Please put Carina on the phone Sarah?" Chuck asked softly.
"I don't think so Chuck. I think we're going to have a little talk about your behavior. I don't like your attitude at all. You're playing fast and lose out there. Taking Sam on a date, instead of staying back at the apartment where it's safe? Acting like you're the agent in charge of this team. This is your first mission Chuck, I think you need to tone that confidence down about ten notches when you speak to me! I'm the veteran, you're the rooky! I give missions orders, you follow mission orders! You're an asset for God's sake!" she yelled. Carina and Sam shared a shocked look between them. Melissa saw the look of hurt cross Chuck's face when she heard Sarah's words.
"Put Carina on the phone right know agent Walker." He said, his voice devoid of emotion, and deadly quiet.
Sarah looked at the phone like she had never seen it before. "Here, he want to talk to you." Sarah said looking like she was going to cry any second.
Carina took the phone. "Chuck?" She asked.
"Carina. I gave Sam a personal mission to do. She feels old, like she shouldn't be an agent anymore, I disagree. She still has what it take to be a great agent, but she has doubts. I want you to take her with you to D.C. she has a few places to go. She will be fine by herself. I want you two to stay in contact with each other at all times. If you think there's a way for her to talk to her sister without compromising the mission or putting your lives in danger I want you to do it. I trust your judgment Carina, and I trust hers. Keep each other safe out there. Now how mad is Sarah?" Chuck asked.
"I'm not sure. She looks more sad then mad." Carina said. "I think you should talk to her Chuck."
"I don't think that's a good idea right now Carina. I might slip up and say the wrong thing. The stress of this mission gets to me sometimes Carina. I've made some questionable decisions over the last week. I've done things a husband shouldn't do. I did them and the guilt is starting to get to me. I just can't deal with her feelings of jealousy right now. I just can't. Not when I'm hanging on by a thread emotionally as it is. She's right you know? I'm nothing more then an asset." Chuck said sadly.
"Hey no you're not! You're agent Carmichael. Get you shit together. You lose that confidence it could get you killed." Carina said waving at Sarah to get her to the phone, but she just ignored her and kept looking at her hands on the table.
"I don't feel very agent like right now." He said. Melissa hugged him close.
"You will. Trust me, every deep cover operative experiences that feeling. Are you sure you don't want to talk to her. I think she's going to crack here." Carina said.
"No. Can you tell them I will send the hard drive with the stolen data sometime tomorrow?" he asked feeling sick.
"Thanks Chuck, I'll tell them. Good bye Chuck." she said hanging up. Chuck pulled the battery out of the phone and tossed it on his desk. He dropped his head on Melissa's shoulder and sighed.
"I feel like total crap right now." Chuck said softly.
"Let's go home Chuck. You'll feel better if you take a shower and relax." She said running her hands through his hair.
"I can't, I have so much work to do. I have to go through all of the files, and flash on all of them. I have to see what we got today. This is going to really suck." Chuck said sadly. He figured he would have to flash on every file. That was at least five hundred flashes. The patch for Intersect 2.0 made these information flashes happen faster and with less pain but it still was going to hurt.
"Is the information stored on your laptop?" She asked.
"No it's stored on this passport drive." Chuck said pointing to the top drive in the tower.
"Then why do you have to do it here? Why can't we pack up everything you need and take it with us?" She asked looking him in the eyes with a confused look on her face.
"Um, that's a good question. I guess I could take it with me. But it's only 3PM. It's way too early to leave now." Chuck said.
"Please Chuck, what is Roark going to say? No? I don't think so. He just spent the last hour begging you not to go on a fake mission. I think you're in the clear with him. Lets go. You can take a shower and lay on the couch as you go through this stuff. I'll order us something good later for dinner. And when your all done going over the files you can take a nice soak in the tub." She said running her fingers through his hair.
"You know what? That sounds really good right now. Lets go." He said.
Carina looked at the phone in her hands after Chuck hug up. She shifted her gaze to Sarah and felt anger boil up in her gut. "You really are a dumb bitch you know that right?" She said tossing the phone back to Sarah.
"What?" Sarah asked looking at the phone.
"Do you even know what you said to him? Or were you so blinded by your loss of power that you just gave it to him with both barrels and didn't think about the words you said?" Carina asked standing up.
"I don't know what you're talking about." Sarah said as tears pooled in her ice blue eyes.
"Sure you do. The man's on his first deep cover mission, and you tell him to tone down the confidence? You know confidence is the key to pulling off a mission like this and you go and break him like that? Have you lost your fucking mind? Do you want to get him killed? Sam when you first met him did you believe he was a veteran deep cover operative?" Carina asked.
"Yes." Sam said without hesitation.
"And you found out yesterday that this is his first mission?" Carina asked.
"I did ." Sam nodded.
"At any point after finding out this was his first mission did you detect anything in the way he acted that tipped you off to that fact?" Carina asked.
"No. He acts and sounds like a man that's been doing this for years." Sam said understanding what Carina was doing.
"Well the man I just talked to sounded like a wounded puppy. It was pathetic. I'd be surprised if his cover wasn't blown by now. He sounded like a scared asset. I want to congratulate you Sarah, you broke his confidence. He was fine before you talked to him. You wanted to assert your dominance over him and you did. Good job." Carina said giving Sarah a thumbs up.
"Don't say that." Sarah growled. Flying out of her seat, and getting in Carina's face.
"There she is, The Enforcer. You going to assert your dominance over me to? You going to try to pull rank over me now? I'm not Chuck, I'm not on my first mission. You're not going to scare me." Carina said with a dangerous glint in her eyes.
"I did not pull rank on him! I was trying to remind him that it's dangerous out there and I'm not there to save his life when he screws up." She said and she instantly felt sick. Did she just tell him that? Did she tell him she didn't trust him? Is that what she said? Is that what he heard? Was he mad at her for doubting him? Was he mad that she made him doubt himself. She lost her battle with the tears in her eyes. Carina sighed, and pulled her into a hug.
"You messed up. He'll forgive you. He's Chuck after all. He's nothing if not forgiving. You need to think about the things you said to him. The next time he calls you need to tell him your sorry for saying what you did. Now we have a plane to catch." Carina said waving Sam towards the door.
