Author notes: I don't own Chuck! Here we are with chapter two!
1996, Chicago
"With all due respect, Sir. The project is unstable. We are years away from human trials." said man who looked like scientist.
"Really Dr. Busgang? Tell Orion, I don't care! I want the Intersect ready for a human trials." said a tall man. His voice was imposing and yet calm.
"Yes, Director Dellard." said Busang defeated.
Present Day, Facility X (Location Unknown)
"So you are saying that one of the agents that you sent to recover the schematics of Facility X went rogue and stole the plans for himself?" asked a short woman with red hair. He wore a military uniform and had the rank general. Her tagname had Beckman written on it.
"Yes, Diane. Unfortunately, that is the case." said Graham
"What about Agent Larkin's partner?" asked General Diane Beckman
"I talked with Agent Walker. She's in LA. After Agent Larkin betrayed her, she returned in the States. Her plane had troubles and was redirected to LAX. She's not compromised!" said Graham
"Do we have any intel on Larkin?" asked a tall brunette that just entered the room.
"No" said Graham
"Director Levy, I'm glad to see you. For a moment I thought DEA has better things to do…" said Beckman to the brunette
"Alicia, ignore Diane. She's mad because NSA lost the plans for the facility." said Graham
"And a rogue CIA agent who was tasked to retrieve them stole them." pointed Beckman
"You know you 2 act like children sometimes. We lost the plans. The security is compromised. So let's think what we are doing next." said Alicia
"Well we can't relocate the project. And having more men to protect it, would compromise the security." pointed Graham
"We can add more sensors and cameras. Maybe have some C4 surrounding the room." said Beckman
"Is that wise?" asked Alicia
"What do you mean?" asked Graham
"Well. It's the Intersect Project worth all of this? All of the money we used until now? The lead engineer disappeared and we don't have any idea were he is. Hell we only have his codename! That is all we know about him. And the Intersect? The last time we tried having human trials? They either died or went mad…" said Alicia
"I admit Omaha wasn't the success we hoped for, but if we find a way to make the Intersect working… The pros outweigh the cons." said Graham
"I hope you are right Langston. Because you and Diane's wish to continue working on the Intersect could blow up in our faces." said Alicia
Abandoned Warehouse
"Larkin recovered the plans." said a man who just entered the warehouse
"I things go acording to your plan Delgato." said one of the men in the warehouse to the man that just entered.
"Everything is fine. Larkin is with us. And once Fulcrum has the Intersect, nothing will stop us!" said Delgato
LA, On the Beach…
Chuck came to the beach to relax and most impotantly, avoid Ellie's party. He just sat and looked at sunset. He just became anoyed with the fact his life was a mess. And everything was linked to Bryce Larkin. If only he could go back in time…
"HELP!HELP!" Chuck heard screams coming from the ocean. He quickly saw a girl who was drowing. Chuck looked around he didn't see anyone. He stared at ocean for a second and then in went in the water and swimed towards the girl. He saw that girl's leg was wrapped in something. He helped free herself and then helped her towards shore.
Back on sand, Chuck asked the girl "Where are your parents?"
The girl told Chuck that her parents worked at a restaurant near the beach. Chuck went with the girl to make sure got back to her parents.
Her parents were relieved to see their daughter back safe and sound. They wanted to thanks Chuck with a free meal at their restaurant, but Chuck declined and left.
After that Chuck decided to go home. Of couse he also needed to deal with his sister's party.
Next Day, Buy More
Chuck was spending his day behind the Nerd herd counter at the Buy More.
"Hey Chuck, how are you, buddy?" asked Morgan
"I'm fine. I just had one of those nights." said Chuck
Chuck turned back towards the counter to see Morgan and he didn't observed a blonde woman entering the store and going towards them.
Morgan who sees the blonde says " Stop the presses! Who is that? Vicky Vale!"
Chuck who still was with his back turned responds to Morgan's line "Vicky Vale, Vi- Vicky Vale, Vickity Vickity, Vicky Vale, Vi- Vicky Va…" but he suddently turns his back and sees the blonde and stops. Chuck freezes for a second.
Sarah who saw and heard Chuck couldn't help herself and left out a laugh.
"I hope I'm not interrupting." she says
"Uh no, not at all. That's from…it's from Batman." says Chuck
Sarah decides to tease him. "Because 'that' makes it better?" she says.
Morgan who watched and heard whole conversation intervenes "Ahh, Hi. Hey, I'm Morgan. And this is, uh, this is Chuck."
Sarah couldn't help herself; "Wow, I didn't think people still named their kids Chuck. Or, uh, Morgan, for that matter." she says.
"My parents were sadists, and carnival freaks found him in a dumpster." said Chuck
" But they raised me as one of their own." said Morgan
Chuck decides asks "How can I help… you?"
"Sarah" she says. She had doubts about giving him her name but what can he do. "I'm here about this" she continues after puting her phone on the counter.
"Oh… The Intelcel. Yeah. Absolutely. This model has a screw that pops loose…" says Chuck as he started fixing Sarah's phone. "And good as new!" he says as finishes.
"Wow, you geeks are good!" she says
Chuck quickly turns towards Morgan as both say "Nerds. We prefer nerds." Chuck also points towards the billboard about their heads with the words 'Nerd Herd'.
Their conversation is quickly cut short when a father and his daughter came.
"Excuse me, I have an emergency!" says the father.
Sarah was getting ready to leave, but for some reason decided to stay a few moments.
"I don't know what's wrong… I shot the entire recital but it won't show." said the father.
"Did you checked the tape?" asked Chuck.
"It's digital" says the father agitated.
"It still needs tape" says Chuck as he turns to Morgan. "I need the theater room." says Chuck to his best friend.
Sarah noticed how Chuck not only recreate the entire recital for the girl and her father, but when the girl said she was usually in the back at ballet recitals because she was too tall, Chuck reassured her saying "Real ballerinas are tall."
The whole thing surprised Sarah. She took a piece of paper and wrote her number and name and left it on the counter.
When Chuck returned from the whole recital recreation he noticed the paper Sarah left behind, but because of his experience with Bryce and Jill, his insecurities got the better of him. "What chance do I got with someone like her?" thought Chuck
Maison23
Sarah spent most of the day… and night waiting for Chuck's call. She didn't get it. And while usually that wouldn't have bothered her she was disapointed now. A relation between her and a civilian? It wouldn't have worked anyway… If he found out who she really was and what she's done. What she was thinking? But she couldn't stop herself of thinking about the man with curly hair who fixed her phone.
Echo Park
While in his room Chuck opened his computer. He inserted an USB drive. A bunch of files opened up. Chuck found the USB in things his father left. The USB contained a program that his father apparantly developed with the ability to insert skills and information into a person subconcious. Chuck started working on the program as hobby, because well why not? After all Chuck was a pretty good programmer. In any case one month ago he finished update for his father program and tried on himself. A lot of images started flashing in his face and when the whole thing ended he passed out. After he woke up he didn't feel anything. Nothing different. But soon found out he could access the skills he put in the program at a moment notice. The info he put in the program could only be accesed, if triggered by something he saw or heard related to the info. Because of this he quickly became the best Call Of Duty player. It wasn't cheating, not in Chuck's mind. He called the moments when he accesed the program 'flashes'. He had a lot of fun with his 'flashes', but decided to keep this a secret. His sister will surely kill him if she ever found out.
He started his night working on a new update for his father's program. Chuck wanted to add martial arts and parkour skills to the program.
He quickly finished the update. After the update was finished he pressed 'UPLOAD' and the program started displaying the encoded images that planted the info and skills into his mind like the last time. And like the last time after the whole thing was done, he passed out. Next morning he woke up, closed his computer and hid the USB. He quickly got ready for work and went to the Buy More.
Buy More, two hours later…
Chuck was spending his day like usual when he suddently he saw Sarah, again.
"Uh, phone trouble again?" he casually asked.
Sarah didn't knew why she was doing this. For all she knew, he had a girlfriend. But she couldn't resist. For whatever reason, she was attracted by Chuck.
"Uh, yeah. I'm not sure I'm able to receive calls, cause... I never got one from you." she said.
" . Yeah… Sorry." Chuck blured out.
Sarah decided. It was all or nothing.
"I was wondering… Do you want to go on a date with me?" she said.
Chuck froze.
"That is you're available." added Sarah quickly.
"Oh! He's available! Right, buddy?" said Morgan whoonce again was around.
Sarah wondered for a second if Morgan was spy, because she barely noticed him.
Chuck's brain finally rebooted. "Yes. Yeah I am available! What do you think about six? We meet here at the Buy More?" he said
"Six is fine. But I hope the date is not here." she teased.
After the encounter ended, Chuck was left surprised, shocked and for the first time in 3 years happy.
Facility X(Location Unknown)
General Diane Beckman was in meeting room of Facility X. With her it was a well built man. The man looked strong. He looked serious. He blue eyes and short brown hair.
"Major Casey did you ever heard of Facility X?" asked the General
"No, ma'am!" said Casey
"Well here is the short version. You are standing in it. This place is Facility X. Here CIA,NSA and the DEA have developed a secret program named Project Intersect. The Project is far from being finished, but his potential applications in the field could change everything. A month ago someone stole the schematics of Facility X. CIA sent two agents to recover them, but one of the agents went rogue. That agent has the schematics for Facility X. Me, Director Graham and Director Levy have increased electronic security of the facility, but for evident reason we couldn't increase the personal. Major Casey, you are one of the few people I trust. I want you to guard this facility. If someone tries to break in, I want you to kill him. Understood?" said Beckman
"Yes, Ma'am!" said Casey. "I am going to need the schematics of the place through. I need to know where are all the exits and entrences for the place." he said
"It can be aranged. But I don't want nobody besides me, Graham and Levy to know about you being here."
"Understood. It won't be a problem. If I may ask who was the rogue agent?" said Casey
"Bryce Larkin" said Beckman.
"I heard about him… It's said he had a relation with Graham's enforcer." said Casey
"That's how he did it. Nobody expected his betrayal." said Beckman
"Is his partner dead?" asked Casey
"No still alive. According to Graham, she's in LA." said the general
"Do I have the permission to go in LA and talk to her. See if she's hiding something?" asked Casey
" Do it! Find everything you can about her and Larkin's last mission. What she knows about Facility X and if she's rogue or not. By any means necessary! She won't expect anything, Graham gave her a vacation." said the general.
"A CIA assasin of her caliber without a mission. I bet she's losing her mind. I'm going to take some agents from the LA branch of NSA." said Casey
"No problem." said Beckman.
