This is not finished, I have had a few ideas for some Chuck fanfics but this is the first one that I have written. Reviews are welcome but please be kind, this is my first time writing for this fandom.

Earlier when Chuck was suffering from the intersect, he told Sarah, "I promised her I'd leave, Ellie will be so mad at me if I die."

he never knew how prescient those words would be.

Sarah had reassured him that he would be fine, she would take care of him and get him the governor so he would be able to function again. Sarah left and walked right into Shaw's trap.

Shaw captured Sarah and handcuffed her to the nerd herd desk.

Back in Castle, the alarms are going off, sending Chuck into waves of intense pain, he clears his vision just long enough to see Shaw on the monitor and Sarah captured in the buy more. In that moment, despite the pain, all he felt now was rage, he went to the armory and picked up a gun, not a tranquilizer gun, no, this time, he would finish this! Shaw had taken his father from him and his sister forever, he had taken Sarah, and almost killed them both. Chuck swore, if it was the last thing he did, he would finally finish Shaw and save Sarah.

Where is he?" "He's not coming, Shaw please stop, you don't understand…he can't"

at that moment the sliding doors opened and in walked Chuck, gun in hand, ready for a final showdown with Shaw.

"A gun fight, is that what you really want?" Chuck asked smugly

"Do you still have one good flash left?" Shaw quipped, "Saved the best for last" Chuck responded with a smile.

When Chuck flashed, it took a toll on him mentally and physically and while he was distracted, Shaw pulled a gun from behind his back and aimed at Chucks chest.

"Sorry Chuck, but I've already beaten you"

and with that, two shots rang out and Chuck collapsed to the floor.

Shaw standing over him, looks over at Sarah to watch her face as she realizes she is going to lose the person she loves most.

Sarah looks on in horror as Shaw gloats

"how does it feel Sarah? To know that he is going to die and there is nothing you can do to stop it!" Does it hurt? Watching the love of your life die in front of you? How does it feel knowing that you did this? You'll have to live with the consequences of what you did forever…good bye Chuck".

He aims the gun again, this time at his head, to finish the job but before he can, Casey pulls the trigger first, getting a head shot, dropping Shaw this time-for good.

He runs to Chuck and Morgan helps Sarah out of the handcuffs. They see Chuck is bleeding profusely he's scared and and trying to reach for Sarah, Sarah runs to him. "Chuck I'm here"…she sees the pool of blood growing around him, holding back tears, she grabs his hand as he fades in and out of consciousness. "S…Sarah…please t..tell Ellie…I'm sorry." Chuck closed his eyes, as she frantically felt his neck for a pulse…it was dangerously weak.

"Chuck! Wake up! Please Chuck! I love you, I want to spend the rest of my life with you! you have to come back Chuck…for me."

She kissed him, tears in her eyes, Casey's heart was breaking, watching Sarah beg Chuck to wake up, he had called an ambulance, they would be here in minutes, but judging from the ever growing pool of blood on the floor, the stillness of his body and the pale shade of gray his skin was turning, he wasn't sure Bartowski had minutes to wait.

Chuck had sustained 2 shots to the chest by an expert marksman who above all else wanted his revenge on Chuck and if help didn't get here soon, Shaw might actually have finally gotten it.

Morgan came around the corner and what he saw made his stomach lurch, he hadn't really grasped the gravity of Chuck's situation until he saw the blood and Sarah crying over his body, Morgan felt sick but he knew he needed to be strong…for everyone, he looked at Casey and asked for his orders. for the love of god, give me something to do Casey.

"Morgan call Ellie and tell them to meet us at the hospital…we'll catch them up when we get there."

"He's gonna be okay isn't he Casey?!" Morgan pleaded

Casey looked at him with uncertainty and almost glistening eyes and just said "I don't know Morgan...it's not good"

the ambulance arrived and they loaded up Chuck into the bus. Sarah tried to go with him but they said they needed the room to work, she was in a daze, covered in Chuck's blood, she didn't understand how this could have happened. Morgan and Casey looked at her, tears in her eyes and Casey said "I'll drive."

"28 year old male, multiple GSW's to the chest, pulse erratic and thready when we arrived on the scene. Judging from the pool of blood on the ground, victim has lost up to 1000 ccs of blood, will begin transfusion upon arrival at the hospital, ETA is less than 2 minutes. Systolic Blood pressure is 75 mm and falling. "Chuck, can you hear us?" Chuck was still unconscious, not a good sign...his eyes fluttered as pulse began dropping...beep beep beep, beeeep

he's flatlining, get me the paddles now, charge to 100, charging, "come on Chuck, come back to us " clear", they shocked him, the pulse in the screen beeped and stopped again..."come on come on!" Charge to 200, charging..."clear"

the pulse came back, beep...beep..beep..beep

"we got him!" The EMT called out as the doors opened to roll him into the loading bay.

Chuck was hanging on...for now

did Shaw exact his revenge? Will Chuck make it?

Stay tuned
