Author notes: This is a short Chuck story. Hope you like it...
This day was the worst the day in Chuck's life. Beckman had that stupid 49B and because of that Sarah was reassigned. Now Forrest was his new handler. Forrest, the agent who now blackmails him with photos she fabricated with Devon.
Chuck won't let this stand. Sarah would've never had done. She wouldn't have treated him like an object. Chuck never asked for the Intersect. Bryce sent it to him. And now Beckman wanted him to keep it. Wth Orion dead, Chuck couldn't get rid of The Intersect. And even if he knew how to get rid of the Intersect, Beckman wouldn't let him.And worst Beckman got rid of Sarah. Until now Chuck was helping of his own free will. Now he was treated like they own him. Let's see how they deal with The Piranha...
Chuck went to the store and bought three bottles of Chardonnay. When he returned home he met with Casey.
"Do you plan on a party, you Moron?" asked Casey seeing the bottles
"Something like that." answered Chuck
"Bartowski, I... I didn't agree with Beckman. And I know you don't like Forrest. I don't like her either. You were put in an impossible situation and you helped us anyway. You shouldn't be treated like that. I will talk with Beckman and Forrest. Just don't do something stupid." said Casey
"Thanks Casey." said Chuck.
Chuck entered his room opened his computer and then took a long sip from one of the three bottles of Chardonnay. Time for Chuck to get his life back. Time for Piranha to get into action.
Two hours later...
Chuck hacked in Casey's secure system. He had access to every conversation with between Beckman and Casey from the last year. He wanted to get some things to blackmail Beckman to bring back Sarah. But what he discovered was a shock. Beckman and Graham wanted him dead. Casey got the order. While Casey didn't seem that happy he agreed to kill Chuck. If the new Intersect didn't exploaded Chuck would've been dead.
"Okay... If this is how you want to play, let's play!" said Chuck.
Chuck started drinking from the last bottle of Chardonnay. He started coding. He had a plan.
Castle, Next Morning.
Forrest and Casey were in the Castle talking when Beckman showed on the screen.
"Something wrong General?" asked Casey
"I should ask you that Major. Why did you call this meeting?" said the General
Casey was confused.
"Casey didn't called this meeting ,General, I did." said Chuck as he entered the base.
"With what goal Mr. Bartowski?" asked the General surprised.
"Last night I hacked into Casey computer. I have a recording with everything you talked. Everything." said Chuck
"That's a secure system, Bartowski. You couldn't. Nice bluff through." said Forrest laughing.
Casey and Beckman on the other hand were visibly scared. They knew Chuck. That wasn't a bluff. How he did it? That they didn't know. Most worrying was the fact they didn't know what he knew.
"I know about the kill order." said Chuck visibly angry
Casey and Beckman exchanged looks.
"I also created a Trojan Virus. If I don't turn the virus off in the next 16 hours the virus will send all the recordings to every news outlet in the country. Not to mention the White House. I don't think the president will be happy knowing you had a kill order on an American citizen. A civilian. A person who helped you out of his own free will." said Chuck angry.
Forrest realized that Chuck wasn't joking.
"You will stop the virus or..." said Forrest.
"Or what?" interrupted Chuck. "You will torture me? My family ? You will throw me in a bunker? You will kill me?" laughed Chuck
"You piece of shit, I will make stop the virus and you won't like it." said Forrest
"You can't. The virus can be stopped only by me. I am the only one with the password for deactivation. And if you introduce the wrong password, even one time, then the virus will send the recordings even faster. By the time you will get me to tell you the password you will be too late." said Chuck.
Casey was surprised by Chuck. He knew Chuck was smart but he didn't knew he was that smart.
"You want the password to stop the virus. I have three conditions." Chuck continued.
"You want to blackmail me?" asked the General.
"Forrest ,and by extension you, didn't had any problems to blackmail me. So why should I have a problem blackmailing you?" said Chuck.
The General looked at Forrest demanding an explanation.
"I created some compromising photos with Devon Woodcomb at his bachelor party. I used them to keep Bartowski in control." said Forrest.
Now the General knew why Chuck did what he did. Forrest used his family to control him and now Chuck gained the upper edge.
"What are your conditions?" asked the General
"General you can't be serious!" said Forrest.
"Condition 1: Forrest leaves and Sarah returns." said Chuck
"Walker is compromised" said Forrest.
"Forrest shut up! You don't get a say in this" said Casey.
"I think we can make this happen." said the General.
Chuck smiled.
"Condition 2: I want to promise me you would never put another kill order on me." said Chuck
"That can be arranged." said Beckman.
"Condition 3: You will help me get the Intersect out of my head." said Chuck.
Beckman looked at Chuck. All of his conditions were reasonable. The General knew Chuck never asked for this. Chuck helped out of his own free will and he was never payed. Now what Forrest did was his last straw. He had a right to be angry.
"I agree with all of your conditions. I will call Agent Walker and tell her to return. Now please stop the virus." said the General calm.
"I will stop the virus when Sarah returns." said Chuck. "I don't trust you General, and in the light of what I learned I don't trust Casey either. The only person who didn't betray my trust was Sarah" continued Chuck.
"Very well. Agent Forrest you are going to report to Langley for reassignment." said the General.
Agent Forrest left Castle. She was angry.
"Major, can I have a moment alone with Mr. Bartowski?" asked Beckman
Casey left.
"You impressed me Chuck. Most of my analysts couldn't do what you did in this timeframe." said the General.
Chuck didn't know what to say. This was the first time the general addressed him by his first name not his family name. This was also the first he got a compliment from the general. And also she didn't look as upset as he expected her to be.
"I'm sorry about that order. Graham didn't accepted no as an answer. I should've never agreed with him. When we gave the order to the Major he suggested an alternative. What do you think about becoming an analyst for the NSA? You certainly have the skills." said Beckman
Chuck was shocked. He didn't expected that.
"Think about it. Beckman out" said the general as she ended the call.
Four hours later...
Sarah just returned in LA. She knew something happened and made the General change her mind, but didn't knew what.
