"Welcome," the woman warmly greeted. "It's great to see you again, Chuck. You look far better than I saw you last."
"Actually upright and not looking like a walker from the Walking Dead?" Chuck humorously remarked. He flashed his trademark toothy smile as he sat down in one of the two the director's chairs provided for him. "It's awesome to see you again, Jane Bentley."
Jane Bentley. The syndicated host of the popular and critically acclaimed documentary series National Community Spotlight, N.C.S. for short, won various awards for the stories she shared. Stories that spotlighted uniquely interesting individuals who brought joy to those who fervently watched the show and became die-hard fans. Of course, there were critics who compared her show to veteran Journalist Steve Hartman's show, On The Road, and openly criticized it for being a carbon copy despite Hartman's stamp of approval of the show. What the critics failed to realize was Bentley always sought advice from Hartman and considered him her mentor, so any sort of controversy resulted in an unfortunate backlash that she didn't deserve. However, she stood her ground and was able to weather the storm of controversy to the point where she earned the respect of her fellow journalists.
"Chuck, you don't have to say her full name." uttered Sarah, who stepped into camera view and sat down in the second empty director's chair beside him.
"Sorry, " the nerd responded. His attention on Sarah returned to Bentley. "Sorry," he repeated.
"Nothing to be sorry about." Bentley replied, shaking her head. She was seated a few feet away from the couple and looked very prepared as all 3 individuals were seated in front of the blue courtyard bench. She took a momentary pause before she conducted the interview to let Chuck and Sarah get situated. As she did, something popped in her mind. "You sound nervous?" questioned Bentley. She noted and observed Chuck's overall body language as he adjusted the way he was sitting in order to get comfortable.
"It's that obvious?" retorted Chuck. He briefly glanced with a bit of embarrassment at the camera. "I know whenever I get nervous, I have a tendency to babble. I end up spiraling if someone doesn't stop me."
"It happens," responded Bentley. "And it comes with the territory in my line of work. Your friend Morgan, on the other hand…"
"Oh no." Sarah softly breathed out.
The look on Chuck's face when his bearded best friend was mentioned spoke volumes. After he expressed a worried sigh, he responded. "What happened?"
Bentley didn't say a word. Instead, she expressed a tightlipped, polite smile as Chuck and Sarah's interview cut to the interview that was done with Morgan. The same location where the nerdy couple's interview was held.
"Seriously. Nobody mentioned that to you. The resemblance is uncanny. The actress was also married to Iron Mike Tyson." Morgan stated, shaking his head. He turned his head to his right. "You see it," He briefly waved his up and down towards Bentley. "Don't you, Alex?"
The camera panned to Alex who was suddenly put on the spot by her boyfriend. She was left speechless for a moment until he forced herself to respond.
"Sort of." Alex said, shrugging her shoulders.
"Sort of!? She looks like the actress, Robin Givens, from that late 80's/early 90's series, Head of the Class. The show was part of the Friday night block with," He paused and started listing off with excitement a number of shows with the fingers on his right hand. "Perfect Strangers, Step by Step, Full House, Just the Ten of Us, Growing pains…"
"I can honestly say," interrupted Bentley, shaking her head. "I didn't expect to be compared to Robin Givens today."
"It's considered high praise," uttered Morgan. There was a brief moment of awkward silence until Morgan suddenly popped up from his seat. "Listen, I'll prove it."
Bentley and Alex's eyes widened as Morgan was retrieving his iPhone from his right front pocket. The interview quickly switched to the reaction of the one person who summed up when he found out what happened.
"Moron," softly grunted Casey.
"We apologize for Mr. Gimes' behavior." The camera shifted to the left and showed Chief Beckman seated next to her Head of Security. "He's the type of person that is an acquired taste."
"If that taste is a sour lemon." softly remarked Casey.
Casey and Beckman's brief interview quickly switched to the two doctors who were very familiar with the soon-to-be married couple.
"Not awesome." Devon stated, shaking her head.
Ellie immediately chimed in after her husband. "Morgan is like a big kid. He can be a handful at times."
Bentley smiled. "I'm sure you know what that is like with your daughter Clara."
A firm nod was given by Ellie and Devon. The eldest Bartowski sibling spoke up once again. "Add my brother into the mix and it's pure chaos."
All three individuals shared a laugh. For Ellie and Awesome they knew it was the absolute truth. In any case, there was a momentary pause as the award-winning documentarian shifted her focus to what she truly wanted to talk about. After she briefly checked her notes that sat on her lap, she looked up and addressed the elephant in the room.
"Speaking of Chuck," Bentley took a breath because she knew how traumatic it was for her knowing the close relationship she shared with her younger brother. "He's doing so much better and the both of you must be so happy for him."
"We are." Ellie and Devon responded, in unison.
Once again, the interview with the Ellie and Devon Woodcomb switched back to Chuck and Sarah.
"Congratulations by the way."
"Thank you." Chuck and Sarah responded in unison.
"How do you both feel?"
"It took some time to adjust to a different way of doing things for a while," Chuck shared, shrugging his shoulders. "But we managed it," He flashed a smile over to Sarah. "Together."
"So, I got to ask," Bentley took a brief moment before she continued on with the interview. "What were your initial thoughts when I called you?"
Chuck was silent as he let that question sink. "When I got the call to revisit what happened 6 months ago, I honestly didn't want to do it."
There was a brief moment of silence before Bentley softly responded. "Why not?"
"It was a reminder of who I was," answered Chuck. He paused and took a deep breath before he continued on. "A guy who I didn't like knowing I dumped all my insecurities, frustrations and anger on Sarah. She didn't deserve that." he added, facing her.
"Chuck, it's alright."
"No," Chuck interjected, shaking his head. "It's not. I shouldn't have snapped at you. You were there for me every step of the way when I was down. All I thought about was how I was going to end up becoming an absolute burden on you. I didn't want that for you, not just as a man," At that point, Chuck lifted his left hand and showed the band around his ring finger. "But as a husband."
Sarah softly smiled in response. Afterwards, she lifted her left hand and the wedding ring that was around her ring finger. "I knew what I signed up for even if you weren't able to fully recover." She placed that same hand softly against the side of Chuck's right cheek. "I would go back to that moment and say "I do" all over again to become your wife."
The poignant, heartfelt moment between the married couple was unfortunately interrupted by Bentley who spoke up.
"Speaking of that wonderful and memorable moment I was honored to witness," Bentley happily recalled. "It would be very remiss of me not to talk about how it all started to begin with. Moments after Bash At The Bench ended."
Chuck and Sarah talk as they took a moment to mentally, as well as emotionally prepare for an event that changed their lives forever. A few seconds later, Chuck spoke up. "We'll get to that point eventually but there were moments that led up to it that I want to share first."
"Like what?"
"The 2012 International Medical Conference," Sarah chimed in. "A week-long conference where the best medical minds from every country gave lectures. Insights and knowledge were exchanged and possibly assisted us, in some way, here at Westside Medical Center. We met briefly Monday to work out a few things in regard to privacy issues."
Bentley nodded. Afterwards, her attention was directed to Chuck when he chimed in.
As much as we looked forward to the arrival of our international counterparts, there was one person who wasn't so enthusiastic." Chuck shared.
"Who?" wondered Bentley.
The camera quickly switched from Chuck and Sarah's interview to a torso shot of Casey.
"What?"

6 Months Ago
"Russians," breathed out Casey. "So many Russians," he added, scanning the 3rd floor conference room. It was a much larger space than the 2nd floor conference room where the senior medical staff met.
"Calm down Casey," Sarah said. "This isn't the movie Red Dawn. They're doctors, not soldiers parachuting in and invading the hospital. Besides, there are other medical staff here from other countries as well." she added, shaking her head.
"I concur, Chief Walker." acknowledged Beckman. "They're our invited guests and that is the way they should be treated, especially since it's the last day of the medical conference. Do I make myself clear?" she firmly stated. The short statured and auburn-haired woman nodded, as well as greeted a few of their guests who walked past them.
"Crystal." the Colonel softly grunted.
"Oh, Chief Walker," Beckman briefly glanced over at her second in command. "Before I forget."
"Yes, Chief."
"I'm sure you're aware that there is a documentary crew following Chuck around."
"I am," nodded Sarah. "Today is Bash At The Bench after all. I'm sure the board members approved this."
"More publicity for the hospital the better." responded Beckman.
"Of course." Sarah retorted, rolling her eyes. "Apparently, Jane Bentley has been wanting to do a story for her show since last year." she revealed. "Chuck finally caved in and from what he told me, Ms. Bentley believes his story is very compelling and would feature myself and a number of hospital staff with your approval of course."
"I will be one of the staff that will be featured."
"You actually agreed to be a part of the documentary?"
"You sound surprised. Why would you think otherwise?"
"I don't know," responded Sarah. "I thought you'd rather avoid the exposure unless it was absolutely necessary. A natural disaster situation where you need to address the public or something like that."
Beckman didn't respond right away. She glanced over at Casey who wasn't really paying attention to the conversation as his focus was elsewhere. Afterwards, she motioned over to Sarah to come in closer. She did and whispered her response to her second in command. "I was hoping Ms. Bentley would get me Steve Hartman's autograph."
Sarah's eyes widened. "You're a fan?"
"Let's just say he's easy on the eyes." Beckman winked at Sarah, which led Sarah to grin as well. Afterwards, she turned her attention to a room full of international medical staff. It led her to pose a question to her second in command. "I'm sure the level of craziness of what's going on for this conference won't compare with your wedding next weekend."
"I hope not," Sarah responded. "Chuck and I made sure to double…triple check everything. We want our wedding to be perfect."
"I'm sure it will be." Beckman replied, with an assuring nod. She was momentarily silent before another question was posed to Sarah. "Will Ms. Bentley document your wedding as well?"
"I don't know." shrugged Sarah. Afterwards, she glanced at her hulking partner to her right who continued to intensely scan the conference. "What I do know is, Casey's going to be part of it. The camera loves him." she stated, elbowing her hulking partner.
After Sarah said and did that, Casey expressed a grunt. His response led the auburn-haired Chief Administrator of Westside Medical Center to turn and look up at her hulking Head of Security. After all these years of working side by side with each other, she learned to decipher his growls and grunts.
"If I'm taking part," Beckman pointed up at him. "You're taking part, Colonel." she added, arching her right brow.
"Affirmative, Chief."
"Excellent."
A few seconds after Beckman said that the hospital's attorney approached the trio with a bewildered and confused look on his face. He stood there for a moment shaking his head and every once in a while, looked behind him. This led Beckman to wonder why.
"What's wrong, Emmitt?"
"I've had a number of people calling me Dr. Lichtenstein," Emmitt shared, utterly perplexed. "That's not my name. Plus, they're saying something else I don't understand."
"That's strange." responded Sarah. "Do you know why?"
"I don't know. Do you want to know what's even stranger?" questioned Emmitt, completely stumped and baffled.
"That you actually passed the bar exam." Casey sarcastically remarked. A faint smirk expressed at Emmitt's expense.
Sarah did her best to stifle her amusement at the sarcastic burn Casey shot back at Emmitt with. Speaking of Emmitt, he was about to respond back when Beckman quickly intervened before a scene was made. She reached out and discreetly grabbed the hospital's attorney and made him face her, which momentarily startled Emmitt. After she got him to focus on her, Beckman was about to get to the bottom of the mystery when it happened again.
"Cestitam, Dr. Lichtenstein!"
Emmitt was about to explode when Casey stepped forward and got the individual's attention. "Izvini te!"
Although Beckman, Sarah, and Emmitt were caught a bit off guard, they were aware of the hospital's Head of Security's military past after there was an altercation down at The Trenches that involved his late mentor, Ty Bennett. A military past in which he was known as Alex Coburn. In any case, the individual in question that Casey was speaking with was part of the conference evident by not only the 2011 medical conference badge hanging around his neck, but the blue swag bags that were given out to all the international guests. A few more seconds went by before Casey the conversation both men ended, which led to the hulking Head of security to return with information.
"Serbian doctor," revealed Casey. "And he said congratulations."
"Why?" wondered Emmitt, totally confused.
"This is why," Casey said. He held up the 2012 medical conference program in his right hand. Emmitt immediately snatched out of Casey's hand and frantically rifled through it. "Page 10."
It took a second before Emmitt finally landed on page 10 and when he looked at what was on the page, his eyes widened. Sarah and Beckman huddled on either side of Emmit as all three individuals were looking at a section of the medical conference program titled: RECOGNITION AWARDS. The top picture that was first seen was of Dr. Marco Lundgren. A chiropractic specialist from Russia who guest lectured on Tuesday. He won the George B. McClelland Researcher of the Year. He was recognized for developing, refining, and expanding the body of chiropractic knowledge.
"Casey, we met him," Sarah pointed out. "Actually, more like bumped into us accidentally."
"He was quite tall and intimidating." Beckman noted.
"Plus, he had that whole Ivan Drago from Rocky IV vibe going for him." Sarah turned her attention to her hulking partner. "Casey, do you remember what he said when he looked at you?"
"I will break you," responded Casey. "I was ready to take him."
"It turned out it was just his slogan for his chiropractic business back home in Russia." Sarah recalled.
Casey was about to respond back when they heard Emmitt's voice. "Focus people! Look here!"
When Sarah and Beckman did, they saw Emmitt's picture on the bottom half of the page. The name that was underneath his photo read: Dr. Emil Lichtenstein. CRSA Winner. Emmitt read out loud the following blurb:
"It is our honor to recognize Dr. Lichtenstein's stellar achievement and expertise in the field of proctology. A colorectal surgeon for over 15 years, he has managed to dig deep and help clean up…"
Emmitt didn't finish the rest of what was said because he was too worked up, which caused him to drop the program down on the floor. "This is bull…"
"Calm yourself, Emmitt." Beckman leaned in closely and quickly intervened again before he finished what he was about to utter. "You're a professional. Act like it."
After she said that, Beckman and Emmitt suddenly heard the sound of stifled laughter. The source. Sarah Walker. Her amused reaction caused Emmitt to nearly blow a gasket, but restrained himself from doing just that. After taking a few deep breaths, he calmly spoke up.
"I don't see this as a laughing matter, Chief Walker." Afterwards, he bent down and retrieved the conference program that he dropped to the floor. "This is completely embarrassing. It's clearly a printing error."
"I'm sure it is," responded Sarah. "I sincerely apologize but something popped into my head and I couldn't help it."
"What was it?" inquired Casey.
"A Seinfeld episode," Sarah shared. "The episode where Kramer mistakenly gets a license plate from the DMV that said, 'ASSMAN'." she added, nearly laughing again. "It was hilarious."
The Present
"I didn't find it all hilarious." Emmitt stated, shaking his head. His arms angrily crossed.
"I'm sure it was a printing error," Bentley noted. "It has happened from time to time." added the award winning documentarian.
Emmitt sat there in the director's chair in front of the blue courtyard bench still not over what happened to him. After sitting there silent for a brief moment, he continued on. "Did you know for that week I was known as 'Assman'. Everywhere I went I'd get 'what's up, Assman' or 'smell ya later, Assman'." Emmitt shook his head in utter disgust. "I was utterly humiliated."
"Did you ever find out if it was a printing error or not?"
"Chief Beckman said she was, but…" Emmitt stopped mid sentence. "I know who's responsible. It's always him."
"Who?"
"Chuck Bartowski."
As Emmitt ranted to Bentley about how Chuck made his life a living hell, it overlayed from the interview to a voiceover narration of the Nationwide Community Spotlight host.
I was able to speak with Chuck on the accusations that he was personally responsible for Mr. Milbarge's humiliation and many other examples he's accused him of. Chuck denied it and simply laughed it off because of how ridiculous it sounded. According to Chuck, he's far too busy and focused on other endeavors to waste time in pulling childish pranks on someone who believes there is a rivalry going on between the two of them. In any case, from Chuck's point of view the supposed rivalry is more one sided. In all probability, it's merely a simple case of paranoia of an overworked attorney who needs a vacation. When we return, we'll go behind the scenes of how things work two days prior to Bash At The Bench. An online show that started off small before it turned into such a mammoth hit. Don't go away.

"Charles Irving Bartowski," Bentley said. A number of clips were shown of Chuck, along with Morgan and Kathleen, two days before Bash At The Bench talking things over in his office about the newest Rockstar Rebel. "Or Chuck, as he likes to be referred to. A Stanford graduate. A self-made businessman. A self proclaimed nerd and not to mention host of a popular Youtube channel that has such a wide reach. Also, a man who is soon to be married to the Chief Operating Officer of Westside Medical Center, Sarah Walker." Her picture was shown on screen.
"What do you credit for the show's longstanding success?" inquired Bentley. The interview was conducted in the conference of Kessel Run Technologies. Chuck, Morgan, and Kathleen sat on one end of the conference room table while Bentley sat on the other side. A camera man stood off to the side as she continued on. "What makes all of it," Bentley paused as if she was mentally searching for the right words. "work?"
"We're a family." Chuck responded.
Bentley smiled after she heard that. Afterwards, Morgan chimed in. "I know it sounds cliche," he said, shaking his head. "But it's true."
"Morgan is right," Kathleen acknowledged. "If it wasn't for Chuck, I wouldn't have a job. It's been life changing as I've been taking part in something absolutely special when it comes to these wonderful kids."
Once again, Bentley showed clips of Team Barotwski working together. Kathleen was writing down a list of qualities and attributes on the white board for the newest Rockstar Rebel while Chuck was talking with Alex over speaker phone. As for Morgan, he was shown going over the scheduled setlist for Bash At The Bench set for Friday. A few seconds later, it cut to Kathleen being interviewed in the conference room by Bentley.
"My job is not just handling the office. I'm also responsible for keeping my boys in line," smiled Kathleen. "They can get easily distracted sometimes." she added, softly chuckling to herself.
"Does it happen often?"
"Oh, you have no idea." Kathleen breathed out.
Kathleen McHugh. The mother of Alex McHugh and the ex-wife of Westside Medical Center's Head of Security, John Casey. The resident den mother of the group who watches for Chuck and Morgan like a protective mother. In any case, while most marriages that ended in divorce don't necessarily end up staying in contact or remain friendly, Kathleen and John do. They're cordial and respectful with one another. It's a dynamic that has actually worked between the two of them. Their daughter, Alex, is the key reason.
"John and I may not agree on certain things," Kathleen shared. She expressed a soft smile before she continued on. "The one thing we do agree on is our daughter, Alex."
The setting changed from Kessel Run Technologies to a studio where Bentley was standing in front of the camera. A picture of Alex appeared on the right hand side of the screen.
"Alex McHugh. A senior nurse who works at the children's hospital located within Westside Medical Center. Essentially, she's the 4th member of what has been deemed Team Bartowski and has provided countless candidates to be bestowed the honor of being crowned the newest Rockstar Rebel." Bentley noted and pointed out. "Also, dating Chuck's best friend and business partner, Morgan Grimes."
Afterwards, it cut to a brief interview that was conducted with Alex. She was seated in front of the blue courtyard bench.
"It's not that my dad hates Morgan," stated Alex. "It's that he doesn't see what I see when I'm with him." she shared.
"And that is?"
"He has a big heart," Alex answered. "And so does Chuck. It's what makes their partnership awesome. Bash At The Bench proves it." she reiterated.
Bentley was shown in the studio once again. She was standing in front of a glass table. A number of pictures were floating not only in the foreground, but in the background as well. All showing Team Barowski and the hospital staff of Westside Medical Center. A few seconds went by before she took a step down from the elevated stage where the glass desk was placed and started speaking.
"The young kids who fight cancer and were spotlighted on Bash At The Beach were given a truly special moment. A moment where it gives not only the kids, but the parents a worthwhile distraction from all the pain, tests, and treatment they go through." Bentley turned to her right and then started walking. " I was fortunate enough to speak with a former Rockstar Rebel named Cherice Baxter." She stopped next to an image on screen of the former rockstar rebel. Cherice wanted to share how Chuck has managed to not only change her life, but the lives of every kid who was ever picked to be a Rockstar Rebel."
It wasn't long before it cut to the interview between Bentley and Cherice.
"First off," Bently took a moment to greet and shake Cherice's hand before they both sat down. "Thank you for being here."
"It's awesome to be here." Cherice responded.
Cherice took a moment and adjusted her breathing tube and portable tank before she continued on. Bentley didn't rush her and gave her the time she needed to get situated. Once she was, the interview resumed.
"You reached out to me instead of the other way around. I know it's about Chuck and how important he's become in not just your life, but all the kid's lives."
Cherice nodded. "Chuck is considered a big brother to all of us. He genuinely cares and doesn't fake it just to get views."
Bentley was silent for a moment before she spoke up. "In your opinion, what makes him genuine?"
The now 17-year old teenager didn't have to think about it. She immediately answered Bentley's question. "I feel like he's at our level and talks to us in a way that he somehow understands what we're going through. Plus, he's goofy, dorky, silly, crazy, insane, and everything in between. He does his best to not only cheer us up, but make us laugh too. The times he's visited us has made not just my day, but everyone else's day totally memorable. That's why we all love him."
After Bentley heard that, she couldn't help but express a soft smile. That same soft smile faded when she brought up an unfortunate subject. "I know you guys lost one of your own due to cancer. Camden Willard."
"We felt sad when we got the news about Cam," Cherice responded. "Chuck took the news hard. It was the first time that Bash At The Bench wasn't happening. We were all worried about him. Thankfully, he was ok. I bawled my eyes when he sang in honor of Cam. I ended up bawling my eyes out after he did that." she revealed. There was a momentary pause before Cherice continued on. "It wouldn't be the same if Chuck weren't here. I don't want to even think about it.
There was a shared silence between Bentley and Cherice. The award-winning documentarian could clearly tell that the young teenager who was sitting across from her was struggling emotionally. Her eyes welled up and tears inevitably slid down the teenager's cheeks. At that point, Bentley decided to stop the interview as Cherice reached up with both hands and wiped the tears away from her eyes. The interview segment faded to black.

"What I'm about to show you is what happened after the tribute song ended when the newest Rockstar Rebel was crowned." shared Bentley, looking seriously into the camera. "My cameraman continued rolling and nobody was prepared for the chaos that was going to happen. I caution you ahead of time. There will be a certain moment in the footage that is not for the faint of heart and not suitable for younger viewers." After she said that, it cut to footage shot by Bentley's cameraman.
"Hey buddy," Chuck said, suddenly noticing Morgan standing beside him. "What's going on? Shouldn't you be behind the camera?"
"No worries, Chuck," grinned Morgan. "Lazlo's got it." he added, pointing off screen.
At that point, Sarah and Chief Beckman joined Morgan in front of the blue courtyard bench. Chuck expressed a perplexed and confused look. Unfortunately, that perplexed confusion didn't go away when Sarah spoke up.
"We're here for a celebration."
"Our wedding?" questioned Chuck. When he said that, the courtyard crowd erupted in applause. "That's next weekend." Chuck paused and his attention moved from his soon-to–be wife to his bearded best friend. After he stared at him for a brief moment, his eyebrows raised. "Bachelor party? Not the appropriate time, dude."
"We heard Bachelor party."
The source of the voice was Lester. He suddenly appeared behind the blue courtyard bench with Jeff who stood right beside him. Both men quickly jumped off stage when they heard those two words.
"I know someone who can give a good deal? I can make a call." Jeff offered.
"Are you talking about your sister, Jeffrey?" questioned Lester.
A mixture of stunned horror and shock was expressed on the faces of what was just shared by Jeff. At that point, Beckman quickly interjected for everyone's sake.
"No, Mr. Bartowski. According to Mr. Grimes," The auburn haired chief administrator briefly acknowledged Morgan who stood next to his tall and lanky best friend. "Today marks the 500th episode of the show."
After that was announced, the courtyard crowd erupted with a combination of raucous applause mixed in with whistles, and Arsenio Hall dog barks. A few seconds later, Hannah and Big Mike wheeled out a cake with a number of lighted sparklers towards the blue courtyard bench. As for the size of the cake, it compared to the camera stage that Lazo was standing on and it seemed like it was enough to feed everyone in the courtyard. There was such a look of awe on Chuck's face as he stood in front of a seemingly massive cake. A few seconds later he was handed a large kitchen knife to cut the cake. As a matter of fact there were a few large kitchen knives that were going to be used because of how massive the cake itself was. However, before he did he addressed everybody.
"This wouldn't be possible if it weren't for the most important people who made Nerdy Nerfherder and Fuzzball what it is today," Chuck announced. "All you guys! The Bartowski Brigade!" he proudly added, with his trademark toothy smile. "Without you there wouldn't be a show at all! Here's to 500 more episodes!" he hollered out. Once again, the courtyard erupted in celebration as the nerdy host added one more before he ended his brief speech. "Who wants cake!?"
At that point, Bentley's voice was heard as the footage continued to play.
After my cameraman got some footage of everyone lining up to get a piece of cake and enjoying the cake, he focused on getting what was called B-roll footage. It was just principal footage to edit in later for the documentary that you are seeing right now but weren't really meant to see. A few seconds later, a blood curdling scream would suddenly be heard and that's when my cameraman scrambled to find out what happened. As you can see, people were running past the camera while my cameraman was running forward towards the shouting and screaming. When he finally reached the area security had someone on the ground. A female as you can see after my cameraman zoomed in. Here you see Head of Security, John Casey, check on the woman in custody.
"Is she secured!?" he loudly barked out. Casey didn't get an answer right away. "Damn it! Is she secured!?" he repeated, pointing at the woman in custody.
"Affirmative, Colonel!" responded Tang, with Greta covering him.
Afterwards, Casey took a quick moment to assess the surroundings before he jumped into action. "Keep everybody back!" Casey ordered. The rest of his security team quickly complied.
"Casey, we need a spine board!"
Casey never hesitated. "Spine board needed in the courtyard, now!" he screamed, into his radio. "Code 99! I repeat, code 99!"
Absolute chaos erupted as my cameraman directed the main focus to the area between the blue courtyard bench and the main stage. A number of people were huddled around a gruesome scene, which was blurred out because of all the blood. As you can see, the camera pans to a woman being held back by one Dr. Devon Woodcomb. The woman that Dr. Woodcomb was holding back…Sarah Walker. She had blood on her clothes, hands, and face. She was hysterically crying and desperately tried to break free but to no avail. All she could do was helplessly watch as a number of hospital personnel swarmed in, one of them being Dr. Eleanor Woodcomb. The next thing you see and hear is her screaming out the victim's name that loudly echoed within the courtyard.
"Ellie! Please save him! Save my Chuck! Please!"
