Chuck vs Santa Ana Part 4

The next morning we see a still windy and dusty Los Angeles, with a shot of Casa Bartowski zooming into Chuck’s room.

Chuck and Sarah are still in bed wrapped in each others arms asleep.

“ALARM”

Startles Sarah, while chuck gives an annoyed groan. A not fully awake Sarah reaches over and pulls the alarm clock off the night stand and throws it on the floor shattering into pieces, then returns to her resting position next to Chuck.


Chuck has a weird look on his face. “I’m going to need alarm clock insurance when im with you!!”
Sarah smiles and gives a little laugh. “It’s too early and I was really comfy.”
Chuck smiles and puts his arms back around her and rests his head next to her’s.

Chuck: I kinda wish this was our day off! I could lay here like this all day with you.” He lets out another groan. “I’m not ready to go back to reality!”

Sarah has a sad look on her face as she turns around to face him. “I’m not either. But we have a job to do today.”

Chuck: Yah I know, I will try to do my best today with Izzy.
Sarah smiles and rubs her hand over his cheek. “You will do great.”
They stare at each other and share a nice moment when Chuck’s bedroom door fly’s open!!

Ellie: Hey Chuck I need to barrow your......oooowwww. (She turns and sees Sarah in bed next to him.) SARAH!!!! Hi, I am so sorry…. (She starts to back up out of the room) I will comeback later. (She turns and shuts the door.)

Chuck and Sarah just look back at each other and laugh. Sarah’s phone starts to ring, she makes a groaning noise as she reaches over to pick it up.

Sarah: Walker here.
Casey: Get Chuck out of bed and get over here now!! General Beckman wants to talk to us. (Casey hangs up the phone before she could reply.)
Sarah: He really needs to work on his communication skills!!

Chuck and Sarah get ready and head into the kitchen for some coffee to wake them up. As they walk in Ellie started blushing with embarrassment as she sipped on her coffee. Awesome walks up to Chuck and gives him a fist tap and Sarah a big hug!

Awesome: I am so proud of the two of you!! Doesn’t that feel better to get that off your chest?
Ellie: DEVON (now she is really embarrassed)

Sarah blushes a little. “Thanks for the support Awesome, but we have to go.” She grabs Chucks arm and heads for the door. Awesome points a finger at Chuck, “you da man” Chuck smiles and points a finger back at awesome.


Over at Casey’s General Beckman is on the screen sitting at her desk.

Beckman: Good work last night Mr. Bartowski, with the Intel you and Agent Walker acquired it has been confirmed that Marco Depani is not behind the deal but his associate Brandon Lafitte.

Casey: Confirmed General?
Beckman: This morning Marco Depani was found dead in his hotel room at the Wilshire Grand!
Sarah: How was he killed?
Beckman: From the looks of it, a heart attack, but after the toxicology report came back traces of a poison were found in his bloodstream. Brandon was the last person seen leaving Depani’s hotel room.
Chuck: where was Isabella?
Beckman: She was in the room next to his. She is the one that found him dead this morning when she went over to have breakfast with him.
Chuck: Poor Izzy!(Sarah turns her head and gives Chuck a questioning look that made him a little uneasy!) I…uh..I mean poor Izzy finding her father dead like that….It’s so sad. (His back peddling attempt didn’t help the glare he was getting from Sarah!)

Casey: How do we know that Isabella wasn’t in on her fathers killing?
Beckman: What are you saying Major Casey?
(Chuck is now giving Casey a weird look)
Casey: What if Depani’s daughter and Brandon are working together? She told Chuck tonight was Brandon’s last deal, then she was taking over.
Beckman: (looks intrigued) that is a good point Major. Mr. Bartowski, I want you to try and find some truth in Major Casey’s assumption when you have lunch with Isabella today. ( You hear the door in Beckman’s office open in the background and the General’s eyes get big as her attention is taken away from the screen. She snaps back to the computer.) Report back to me after you talk with Isabella! (The general stands up, then the screen goes black.)

Chuck: What was that about?
Sarah: I don’t know, whoever walked in that room she was definitely surprised to see!
Chuck turns to Casey
Chuck: And what was that, bringing Izzy into this? Does every woman that shows an interest in me half to be a cold blooded killer or harden criminal?
Casey grunts as he looks at Chuck then over at Sarah, which causes Chuck to turn his head over toward Sarah. She stood there with her arms crossed with a devilish glare. Chuck just smiles and gives a half-hearted laugh. “Sorry, my bad!”

Casey: Chuck I don’t know if Izzy is involved, that’s what your going to find out. There is something missing from this puzzle and it’s up to you to find out what it is! SO DON’T SCREW IT UP!!! (Casey pokes Chuck’s chest, which causes Chuck to rub his chest and make an aawww sound.)

Chuck: Your right he does need to work on his social skills!
Casey turns around and gives a low growl which frightens Chuck.
Chuck: OK, I’m leaving to go get ready to meet Izzy.


At the Wilshire Grand Hotel, Chuck walks up to Isabella’s room and knocks on the door. Izzy answers and is a sobbing mess.

Chuck: (trying to act like he doesn’t know what’s going on and doing a bad job of it!) Oh my god, what’s wrong?
Izzy sobs and says “My father died this morning from a heart attack!” (Cry’s some more)

Chuck walks into the room and gives her a hug. “I am so sorry, is there anything I can do?”
Izzy: Just hold me.
Chuck: (gets a little nervous and swallows hard) I can do that. (He wraps his arms tightly around her.)

Parked across the street from the hotel, we see Casey and Sarah sitting in the back of the surveillance van listening to Chuck and Izzy. Their conversation so far has Sarah a little on edge and she is constantly fidgeting her leg! Casey pulls his headphones off.

Casey: will you stop doing that!!
Sarah: I can’t help it..Ellie makes really strong coffee, it has me all hyper!
Casey: Grunts as he takes a bite from his burrito he got from Del Taco before arriving. “Ya im sure that’s the reason!!!
Sarah: Whatever Casey, put your headphones back on!!
Casey: Don’t get your panties all in a twist Walker! Your boyfriend isn’t going to cheat on you! He’s like a pathetic, love sick puppy dog and your not that far behind!
Sarah: WHAT????
Casey: OH, don’t try to hide it from me, I see the way you two look and act around each other. It’s kinda sickening! I’ve let it go on this far, but if you keep going, your going to let your emotions get in the way of the mission and get him or yourself killed!!!

Casey puts his headphones back on and takes another bite from his burrito, he gives Sarah a cold look which is returned by Sarah then she has an emotionless expression on her face.


Back in Izzys hotel room, Chuck and Izzy are sitting on the bed. Izzy is hunched over with her head in her hands crying! Chuck is sitting next to her running his hand up and down her back trying to comfort her.

Chuck: it’s ok, let it out!
Izzy: (sobs) I just don’t understand?? He was fine when I talked to him last night before I went to bed.
Chuck: Did he talk to anyone else or maybe it was something with work that stressed him out??
Izzy: (sobbing some more) I don’t think so?? (Izzy sits up for a second and gets a little defensive) I bet it was that slut from the party!!!!!
Chuck: What slut from the party?? (Knowing full well she was talking about Sarah!)
Izzy: you remember that blonde bimbo that sat with us and was flaunting herself all over my father, his poor heart probably couldn’t take it!!
Chuck: Oh ya, her!

Cut back to the van with Casey and Sarah and Casey almost spits out his burrito and starts laughing at Izzy’s comments!!
Casey: Good job Walker!!! You gave the man a heart attack!!!! (Laughing)
Sarah: SHUT UP Casey!! She just call me a slut and a bimbo!!???
Casey: (still laughing with a mouth full of food) I know….. That’s what makes it so much better!!!! (Laughing and chokes a little)

Sarah’s face is red with anger and she is giving Casey a look that would scare the devil himself!!! “I hope this girl is involved now, I really want to kick her ass!!! Then I’m going to kick yours!!!!”

Casey stopped laughing and had a look on his face like “what did I do?”

Back in the Hotel:

Izzy: Im sorry Chuck, but I half to go meet Brandon, he says he needs my help finalizing some things before his deal tonight.
Chuck: Help with what?
Izzy: I don’t know, some papers need to be signed and he said he wanted to talk to me about something important. I will only be down at the docks for a little while, will you call me later?
Chuck: Ok, you be careful and I will talk to you later to make sure your ok!
Izzy: your so sweet!! ( She leans in and kisses his cheek)

Sarah’s eyes get really big when she hears that sound!!

Chuck gives Izzy a hug goodbye and leaves her room. An hour later they are back in Casey’s apartment talking to General Beckman.
Beckman: So what did we find out?
Casey: That Chuck is very sweet!
Sarah gives him that really scary look again!
Beckman: What was that Major?
Casey: nothing mam, Isabella Is meeting Brandon down at the docks, per his request.
Beckman: do we think she might be in danger?
Casey: General either she is in on it with Brandon or he is going to kill her as well so he can keep the business for himself!
Beckman: Go to the docks! As soon as the deal has been made, I want both Brandon and Isabella brought into custody!
Sarah has a happy grin on her face as she replies: Yes mam!!
Beckman: Good luck team! (Screen goes black)

(we see shots of the trio getting things ready for the mission)

Back in Washington ,in the Generals office.
Graham: I don’t like this idea of sending another agent over there!
Beckman: Our hands are tied, her agency supersedes ours, and it is her choice to compromise herself!
Graham: I know, but she is one of the governments best agents. She is even better than Walker and Casey!!
Beckman: I know, I read her service record, and it scares even me!
Graham: Let’s just hope she gets over there in time to help them out with this tonight!!



Night has fallen over the city and the temperature has risen to a steamy 100 degrees, and with the wind gusting around it leaves a weary and uneasy feeling in the air!

Down at the docks, Team Chuck is waiting in the back of the van parked out of sight so no one would get suspicious. Everything is dark and really quiet, besides the wind blowing around them.

Sarah: I don’t like this, something doesn’t feel right.
Chuck: Don’t say stuff like that!!! Now I am all freaked out!!
Casey: Oh shut up you big baby!! Everything is fine. We have all the entrances and exits under surveillance and backup is already in position!! We are perfectly fine!!

As soon as Casey finished his statement, 3 sets of car high beams came on, shinning through the van windows! As the van door opened, there stood Brandon Lafitte and 6 heavily armed men!

Brandon: Nice of you to join us ( you hear the guns in the background being racked and ready.)
Chuck: Ok, now I am really, really freaked out!!!!

The men pull the team from the van and dis-arm them. Brandon looks at Sarah: Well Ms. Katie Walker!!! I had a feeling that you were either CIA or FBI. ( He walks down towards Chuck.) But you, you I didn’t suspect! Your to much of a geek to be an agent!!

Chuck: Thanks I guess!!??

Brandon starts laughing along with his men, causing Chuck to laugh a little at his joke. Then Brandon gets a serious look on his face as he punches Chuck straight in the gut causing him to fall to the ground!

Sarah: CHUCK, (She yells as he falls to the ground coughing, she tries to reach for him but Brandon points a gun at her.)
Brandon: No, no, no Ms Walker, leave him there!
Sarah: I am going to enjoy taking you down!!
Brandon walks up to her and puts his gun right up next to her head causing her to get very scared!

Voice: ENOUGH!!!

Brandon backs away and lowers his gun. Sarah has a very relieved look on her face! She helps Chuck up to his feet. He coughs as he gets up and holds his stomach.

Chuck: Ok, that hurt really bad!! Remind me not to joke around with the bad guys next time, they have a bad sense of humor!

The three look at the figure standing in the middle of the headlights trying to make out a face. The figure walks closer and closer, when a surprised look comes over their faces when they see Isabella Depani standing there controlling the situation!

Izzy: Oh Chuck, you were such a nice guy, and now look at you, hanging out with the bar slut!!
(Sarah’s scary look comes back!)
Chuck: so you were apart of this whole deal?
Izzy: (laughs) Apart of it, more liked planned and controlling it! Don’t get me wrong Brandon here is an excellent business partner, but he is more the muscle than the brain!
Casey: and your father?
Izzy: Oh please!! He was a wine exporter. He thought berretta was a type of cheese! (Casey grunts) It was a shame he overheard Brandon and I talking about tonight!
Sarah: So you killed your own father!!
Izzy: It was his time!
Chuck: I defended you, I thought you were a decent person, but it turns out your just a liar!
Izzy: Oh Chuck, you are a sweet guy! You can’t trust anyone these day’s.

A large merchant ship pulls up to the docks in its berthing place. Brandon and his men go aboard to check out the shipment, while Izzy has her gun pointed at the trio. Casey gives Sarah a look, which is acknowledged by a nod.

Izzy: Don’t even think about it big guy. (as she pulls another gun out from behind her back, Casey puts his hands in the air.)

All of a sudden you hear gun fire coming from the ship! Brandon runs off screaming “it’s a trap!” As Izzy is distracted by Brandon, Casey and Sarah rush at her and knock her down to the ground.

Chuck: oohh, that had to hurt!

Casey gets up, I’ll get Brandon!

Sarah stands up and throws the guns out of reach from Izzy. “That’s ok, I have a score to settle here with the spoiled little rich girl!”

Izzy jumps up into a defensive position: Oh bring it on Barbie!!!

We see Sarah and Izzy get into a pretty good kickboxing fight! Izzy throws a right hook knocking Sarah back. She goes to throw another but Sarah blocks and head butts Izzy, knocking her to the ground!

Chuck: ooohhh, that looked very painful!

Sarah turns, “Chuck get somewhere safe, NOW!” Chuck looks around and runs to a near by warehouse. Izzy sees Sarah is distracted and kicks her leg out from underneath her causing her to fall and hit the ground hard! The two wrestle around for a minute then manage to get back on their feet! Izzy throws a punch that Sarah blocks and pushes Izzy back, Izzy tries a right kick which is also blocked and is pushed back again! When getting pushed back Izzy stumbles and loses her balance, then regains it, but it was to late, Sarah comes up and gives Izzy a round house kick to the head knocking her out cold!!!

Sarah is relieved and catches her breath as Chuck runs over to her.
“wow where did you learn that, in training??”
Sarah: No, I’ve just seen a lot of Chuck Norris movies! (they share a laugh)

Brandon is running in between warehouse buildings in the shipyard with Casey in hot pursuit. He sees Brandon try to hide in front of one of the buildings, so Casey runs into the building to sneak up behind him! Brandon is looking in front and behind him to see if he lost everyone, he sees no one so he stops to catch his breath. As he catches his breath he hears a noise coming from behind him! As he turns all he sees is Casey and Casey’s fist flying at his face. WACK, Brandon falls to the ground unconscious!

Casey walks out from behind the building with Brandon in handcuffs, he hands him over to the authorities. Sarah walks over, “Are you ok?”
Casey: Ya, you?
Sarah: I’ll survive!

All of a sudden you see Izzy standing behind them with her gun drawn. SARAH, CASEY, Watch out!!!!!!! Chuck screamed!
A shot is fired and Casey puts himself in front of Sarah, taking the bullet to his right rib cage, causing him to fall and taking Sarah down with him! Izzy walks up and aims her gun at Sarah, who is trapped under an unconscious Casey! Izzy starts to laugh and says “End of the road Barbie!” Sarah struggles to get free but can’t! Izzy’s gun is drawn down taking aim. Then Chuck runs as fast as he can towards Izzy! He yells at Izzy to STOP!!!
She draws her gun back up aiming at Chuck, stopping him dead in his tracks.
Izzy: Goodbye Chuck!

We see a picture of Izzy’s face, then her gun. Cut to a picture of Chucks face shutting his eyes as he hears a shot fired. BANG!!!

Sarah: CHUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Chucks eyes open and he looks at Izzy. He checks himself, no wound? He looks back at Izzy, who has an unusual look on her face. Chuck sees blood coming out of her chest right by her heart! She falls to the ground dead as a doornail!

We see a picture of a tall woman in a boat, at a very good distance, pull back a long rifle and take off in her boat!

Sarah: CHUCK!!! (she yells again, not knowing what had just happened!)
Chuck runs to her side and helps roll Casey off her. She has a happy and relieved look to see that Chuck is alright.
Sarah: we need to get him to the hospital!


A few days later Casey is in the hospital recovering fine from being shot.
Casey: it bounced off my ribs, I’ll be ok.
Chuck: Good, cause I don’t know what we would do with out ya big guy!! ( He hits Casey on his shoulder, causing Casey to give a growl. Chuck gets scared again and backs away!)
Sarah: Why did you take a bullet for me?
Casey: cause you’re my partner and that’s what partners do! (Sarah has a look of gratitude on her face) and besides if she would have killed me, I wouldn’t half to listen to you two anymore! To bad she was such a poor shot!!
Sarah: Oh whatever Casey, you love it!
Casey grunts. We still don’t know who shot Izzy?
Sarah: well whoever did has impeccable aim with a gun cause that was a good shot!

Voice in the background: Why thanks, I try!!
The 3 of them look over and see a tall, young looking brunet that they all recognize.

Sarah and Casey: Bailey??????

Chuck: COUSIN!!!!!

We end with everyone looking at each other. then fade to black!!!!!

Chuck vs Santa Ana Part 3

As everyone sat at the table talking, drinking and getting to know each other, Chuck wasn’t very happy with the way Sarah was acting with Marco.

Izzy: So Katie what is it that you do?
Sarah/ Katie: I am an investment banker.
Chuck: that sounds less interesting than my job!!!
(cut to Sarah giving Chuck a scowling look.)
Izzy: (laughing and Chucks comment) Where did you attend college?
Sarah: uh, Stanford, I was a business and finance major.
Izzy: Really that’s where Chuck here went to school, do you two know each other?
Chuck: No, I think I would remember meeting someone like Katie.
Sarah: Ya, I think I would remember too. I was really into my studies never really had time for many friends.
Chuck: that’s ok, most people at Stanford find friends to be a stepping stool to get where they want and not care about anyone else. I mean look at me I wouldn’t be here at this point in my life if it wasn’t for my Stanford friend and his oh so helpful generosity!
Sarah: (sarcastically) Mr. Carmichael you sound a little bitter about your school experience, it’s a party maybe you need to lighten up!
Chuck: your right Ms. Walker, school was a long time ago and I should focus on the present. (Chuck has a fake smile that Sarah reads right away as Chuck goes and puts his arm around Izzy, she giggles and places herself closer to chuck. As Sarah sees this she turns to Marco and places her hand gently on his arm.)
Sarah: So Marco, what is it that you do?
Marco: I am in the trade business.
Sarah: Really, what do you trade? (trying to act interested)
Marco: Just some foreign imports from Italy. There is a great demand for them here in the United States.
Sarah: Well it seems you have done very well for yourself! (she leans in closer to whisper in his ear.) and I love a man that can take care of himself!
Marco: (with a big grin on his face.) Well young lady how about I take care of you out on the dance floor?
Sarah: Love to.

As Sarah and Marco make their way to the dance floor Chuck surprises himself as he grunts at Sarah’s tasteless display of flirting.

Izzy: (under her breath) Slut!!
Chuck almost spits out his Martini he was trying to drink!
Chuck: Sorry, what was that?
Izzy: I’m sorry that is rude, I just think it’s rather repulsive the way she is coming on to my father. I mean please, have some class!
(chuck was trying so hard not to laugh)
Chuck: maybe she really likes him? (knowing full well that wasn’t the case)
Izzy: oh please, she wants something from my father and by the looks of it is willing to do whatever it takes to get it!
Chucks eyes got big and he started to get a little nervous.

Chuck: what are you talking about?
Izzy: She is clearly a gold-digging tramp attracted to any man that looks like he has money!


As much as Chuck liked not being the only one repulsed by the situation, he thought now would be the perfect time to change the subject back to them, but he knew it would be hard with the way Izzy was looking at Sarah and her father. He had to get Izzy out of there so he could talk to her and see what he could find out, if anything!
.

Chuck: Do you want to get out of here?
Izzy: And just leave my graduation party?
Chuck: why not? How many people in here do you actually know or talk to?

Izzy looked around the room and saw that he had a good point and said, “ok let’s go.” As they got up to leave, Izzy did a quick good-bye wave to her father as he was dancing with Sarah, Chuck did the same to Sarah with a smirk on his face that caused Sarah to give him another scowling look. As they left the ballroom Chuck walked right past Casey who had a surprised and yet proud look on his face.

Sarah started pushing Marco for more information.

Sarah: So does your business keep you here in Los Angeles?
Marco: not really, I like to stay in Italy at my vineyard, it is beautiful there you should come visit!
Sarah: (gives a “oh god help me” laugh) that sounds like a good idea!
Marco: I only come to America to visit with my daughter. She is the brains of the family.
Sarah: you must be so proud.

After the song was over Marco walked Sarah back over to the table where his escorts were waiting.

Marco: My apologize my dear, it is time for me to retire, it was a pleasure dancing with you Ms. Katie Walker
Sarah: the pleasure was all mine. ( Sarah smiled as he walked away then she had a cold look on her face.)


A few hours later Sarah and Casey are back at Casey’s apartment giving General Beckman their debriefing of the nights events.

Beckman: So what news do you have to report?
Sarah: Not much General, Marco doesn’t seem to be fully aware of what is going on with his business these days.
Beckman: What do you mean Agent Walker?
Sarah: I don’t think that Marco Depani is the one making the deals for these gun transfers, to put it plainly General he doesn’t have the brains to put together this type of operation.
Beckman: So you’re telling me that Marco Depani’s business is being run by someone else?
Casey: Yes, mam, Depani’s not the sharpest tool in the shed but we think his associate Brandon is.
Beckman: do we have any proof that it’s Brandon?
Casey: no mam, Agent Walker threw all she had at Marco and nothing, we didn’t get a chance to play on Brandon.
Beckman: What about Isabella Depani? Did we get anything out of her?
Casey and Sarah look at each other,
Casey: Umm, mam she is still out with Chuck.
Beckman: Well at least someone’s night looks a little promising! (Sarah has a very unhappy look on her face after that comment) I want a full report from Mr. Bartowski in the morning. Were running out of time here people and I will not except failure!
Casey: Yes mam. (Screen goes blank)


Casey: Hopefully Chuck got something out of her cause we have nothing!
Sarah: We need to think. If Marco isn’t making the deals and it is Brandon, we can tail Brandon to see if we find anything.
Casey: Let’s see what Chuck finds out and if he struck out then we will go with that plan.
Sarah: (with a laugh) you know he’s going to strike out.

Chuck: Wow it’s nice to know that you really believe in me there Agent Walker! (Chuck says as he walks into Casey’s apartment and walks right past Sarah over to Casey. Sarah has a look of regret on her face.)
Actually I think I hit a homerun. Izzy and I were down at the beach talking and some other stuff, (he turns and looks at Sarah who makes eye contact then looks at the floor.) Marco’s right hand man Brandon, the one I flashed on has been running the business for a little while a business hasn’t been doing well.
Casey: So what does that mean Bartowski?
Chuck: Izzy told me that tomorrow night is Brandon’s last deal then she is taking over her fathers business!
Casey: Good work Chuck, did you happen to find out where they were going to be meeting?
Chuck: No, but I am having lunch with Izzy tomorrow maybe I can find out.
Casey: Good, I will give the report to the General in the morning that Brandon is our guy and that Depain’s daughter is going to take over daddy’s business.

Chuck smiles at his nights accomplishments and walks out of the apartment without saying another word to Sarah. As he shuts the door Sarah puts her head down into her hands.

Casey: “grunts” I guess this is karma?
Sarah: what?
Casey: you know, karma: what goes around comes around!
Sarah: I know what it means Casey, I don’t see how it applies.
Casey: If I recall you were all bent out of shape when you thought Bartowski was letting his emotions get in the way of the job and now look at you! You two were clearly getting to each other back at the hotel, but at least Chuck knew that he needed to get away from it.
Sarah: I was just doing my job!
Casey: No, Bartowski was doing your job!!

Sarah had, had enough and left the apartment. She knew Casey was right about her going overboard with Chuck at the table, but he started it and she damn well wasn’t going to let him finish it! As she walked outside into the courtyard, she looked over and saw Chuck’s light on in his room. Chuck was lying on the bed in a pair of sweats and a t-shirt. Sarah came barreling through the window causing Chuck to jump up out of bed.

Chuck: What do you want now? To insult my abilities even more!
Sarah: Well maybe if you wouldn’t have started with me at dinner, I would be a little nicer to you!
Chuck: I started with you, you started with me and all that college crap.
Sarah: you didn’t half to give me that fake little smile then put your arm around Izzy.
Chuck: oohhh, so that’s what this is about, you’re jealous of Isabella. What happen to all that be professional and don’t let your emotions get in the way of the job Agent Walker?
Sarah: I was not nor have I been jealous of any girl you flirt with! But you don’t half to throw it in my face like you did at the hotel or like you did a few minutes ago at Casey’s!
Chuck: you know you are getting really bad at lying!
Sarah: ( getting really aggravated, moves over to chuck getting right up in his face) Stop acting like you know anything about me.
Chuck: only if you stop assuming that all I am good for is flashing and waiting in the stupid car!!!
Sarah: (laughs) you can’t even do that right!
Chuck: did you ever consider the fact that I don’t like waiting in the car because I want to make sure that your safe and not in trouble, or hurt because I care about you?? Probably not cause all you think about is yourself!!
Sarah: It is not your job to protect me, it is my job to protect you, I don’t need you to come and save me every time I am in trouble. And did it ever occur to you that I might also care about you too, that is the reason why you are still here and not in some underground bunker or the fact that I am still here with you and not off with Bryce!!

Chuck shut his mouth after she said that. Sarah had this confused yet relieved look that she was finally able to say that. They sat there just looking at each other for a moment, not knowing what to say to each other.

Chuck: you picked me over Bryce?
Sarah: (goes and sits on the bed) I ahhh….
Chuck: (sits next to her) no, don’t start doing that now, tell me the truth, it wasn’t about the job like you said it was, was it?
Sarah couldn’t find the words to say so she just shook her head no. Chuck was taken back again.
Sarah: It’s been a long night and there have been a lot of things said here. I think we both need to get some sleep and be ready for tomorrow.
Chuck: (stood up) your right, we do need to get some sleep.

Chuck hung his head at the fact that Sarah was back hiding behind her job, yet there was a big emotional break through. He now had it confirmed out of her mouth that she cares for him as well, and that was all he needed, but Sarah was about to shock him again!

She was still staring off into space when she finally snapped out of it and looked up at chuck who was standing in-front of her and smiled.

Sarah: Can I barrow a shirt to sleep in?

His eyes got really big and he stuttered with his words.
Chuck: you. you want to sleep here, with me?

Sarah smiles and grabs Chuck’s hand, “I can understand if you want me to go.”

Chuck: (eagerly) No, hold on I will get you a shirt.
He goes into a drawer and pulls out an old Stanford shirt and hands it to her.
Chuck: Sorry it’s not a Nebraska shirt.

She smiles and says “that’s ok, I like this one better. Turn around.” Chuck obliged and turned around as Sarah changed. When she was done she climbed into bed and pulled the covers over her. “Ok, you can turn back around now.” Chuck turns and climbs in his side of the bed and sits up on his elbow looking at Sarah.

Chuck: Are we good?

Sarah looks at him and shakes her head yes. Relieved by her nod Chuck reaches over to turn off the light then turns back over, Sarah reaches her hand over and strokes his face, then leans over and kisses his lips softly and whispers “goodnight Chuck.” He smiles as she turns her back towards him, he moved himself closer to her and put his arm around her pulling her into him and she falls asleep in the comfort of his arms.

Chuck vs Santa Ana Part 2

After hearing the orders from General Beckman Chuck returned to his room with a file to study on Isabella Depani. He didn’t feel like staying behind at Casey’s to listen to him and Sarah argue about how things were going to go tonight. As he goes and sits on the bed and opens up the file, “Great” he thought to himself, she is beautiful, young and intelligent. Chuck started to get a little intimidated, he didn’t know how to act around women, especially smart, rich women with daddy’s that have the power to make to disappear if you look at their daughter wrong.

Chuck puts the file down and rubs his eyes for a second and when he opens the back up the sees Casey standing at the end of the bed which causes Chuck to “YELP!!”
Chuck: what do you want Casey?
Casey: Calm down Bartowski, I came over here to drop off you tux for tonight.
Chuck: (not very enthused) gee, thanks!
Casey: Look Chuck tonight is important, if we can get these guys then that will help save countless number of lives from dieing cause of a stupid gang war or some poor idiot that was in the wrong place at the wrong time. Think about your sister and friends!
Chuck: Wow Casey it almost sounds like your starting to care about some of these people!
Casey: with a half grunt, it’s the weather, don’t read too much into it. Also about tonight, you and Agent Walker need to pretend that you don’t know each other.
Chuck: Why is that?
Casey: Makes things simple when you’re trying to seduce your marks that other things don’t get in the way.
Chuck: Simple???
Casey: Ya simple, you keep your mind on Isabella and not Sarah, and she will do the same with Marco. (Chuck gives Casey a mixed look between worried and jealous, Casey smiles and heads back out the window.) Oh and Bartowski.
Chuck: what?
Casey: Try not to use some of those cheesy lines like you did on Agent Walker this morning! You want to get next to this girl not make her die from laughter!!

Chuck gets up and walks over and shuts the windows and curtains, picks up his new tux and heads to the bathroom to get ready.

Later we see Morgan climbing through his Morgan door and stumbling a little.

Morgan: Hey dude, you weren’t at work today?? (He sees chuck in his tux) Wow hot date with the future Mrs. Bartowski?
Chuck: Ya, were going to a graduation party for a friend of hers.
Morgan: swanky, can I come, please, please, please. I never went to a big formal graduation party, pleasseeeeeeee????
Chuck: Sorry buddy, invitation only and it for Sarah and me. And did you ever think there might be a reason why you are never invited to these things?
Morgan: I think its because I make people nervous? Their scared I might know more then they do!
Chuck: Right, ( he replied sarcastically) that must be it.
Morgan: Well have fun, tell the misses I said hi and see you at work tomorrow.

Morgan leaves the way he came in and Chuck goes back to getting ready. His mind is in a million places at once. How was he going to act with Depani daughter, would she even like him? Then he thought about this morning and how great that was, he was finally the confident one and went for it and Sarah feel right into it as well. He had a smile for ear to ear thinking about that kiss. There was no about to die situation or a mission or cover that called for it, it was just them and the way they feel about each other and being caught up in that moment. His smile quickly turned upside down when he thought about what Casey had said about them acting like they don’t know each other. Chuck knew he had to keep it together tonight when he sees Sarah with Marco. Chuck gives himself a quick look over in the mirror and makes some final adjustment to his jacket. “Just remember what Casey said, you think about Isabella and let Sarah think about Marco” Chuck finishes adjusting and takes a look at himself in the mirror as he takes a deep breath.
Chuck: I hate my life!!!!:(




Cut to pictures of Los Angeles in the evening time with the wind still gusting around making things very difficult for arriving party guest at the Wilshire Grand Hotel. You see a black stretch limo pull up out front with Casey driving and Sarah in the back.

Casey: Ok, I just talked to Chuck, he is inside at the bar waiting for his mark. Just remember Walker you can’t hold his hand though this mission he has to do his part by himself.
Sarah: Got it Casey, I have my own fish to fry.

Sarah steps out of the limo in a long beautiful navy blue dress with her hair pinned up drawing most of the attention to her face and neck, which were sporting a gorgeous pair of pearl earrings and necklace. Even with the wind blowing everything around she never faltered as she walked into the hotel.

Casey: I should have brought my video camera!!

Upon entering the ballroom Sarah made a quick scan, looking for possible exits and hazards and possible thing that could be thrown if things got sticky. After her initial scan she walked over to the opposite end of the bar that Chuck was sitting at. She introduced herself to a few gentlemen that were standing there and started conversations with them. She orders a dirty martini from the bartender and as she is sipping her drinks shoots a quick look at chuck who is obviously mesmerized by her beauty. Chuck is shaken from his gaze when a man next to him orders a double shot of Jack on the rocks, as chuck turns to get a look at the guys face he flashes on the mans wrist tattoo. He gets up from the bar and pretends to go mingle around the room and reports the flash to Casey.

Chuck: the guy at the bar getting the double shot of Jack is Brandon Leffit, weapons and drug smuggler, also Marco Depani’s right hand man.
Casey: ( who is inconspicuously standing by the ballroom exit listing to chucks report in his ear piece.) Got him, I’ll keep my eyes on him.
As Chuck is moving around the room he flashes on a few more people who he identifies as local gang and crime lords. Casey doesn’t like the number of flashes that Chuck is having so he calls in for back up. As chuck makes his way to the opposite side of the room he accidentally bumps into a tall beautiful young lady.

Chuck: Oh, oh I am so sorry. I so clumsy.
Lady: It’s ok, that’s the most excitement I’ve had all night.
Chuck: your Isabella Depani aren’t you?
Lady: yes I am but please call me Izzy.
Chuck: well Izzy my name is Charles Carmichael, but you can call me Chuck.
Izzy: (with a giggle) nice to meet you Chuck, so tell me what do you do for a living Chuck?
Chuck: I own a software company up state.
Izzy: wow that sounds kinda boring!
Chuck: It can be, that’s why I come down here to LA to shake things up a bit.
Izzy: Where did you go to school?
Chuck: I graduated from Stanford a few years ago.
Izzy: Stanford, huh, your football team sucks.
Chuck: thanks ( sarcasm) , So what did you get your degree in?
Izzy: Art History, with a minor in Italian.
Chuck: Art history huh, sounds kinda boring!!
They both share a laugh.
Izzy: So how did you manage and invitation to my graduation party? Are you a friend of my fathers?
Chuck: no, I’ve never meet your father.
Izzy: so how did you get in here?
Chuck: can you keep a secret? (Izzy nods her head yes, chuck bends over to whisper in her ear. As he tells her she lets out this cute little laugh)
Izzy: So you are a party crasher, I could have you kicked out of this hotel.
Chuck: Why would you want to do that, then all the fun would leave and your party would go back to being boring!

They share a laugh which is noticed by Sarah who is getting a little jealous at chucks flirting with Isabella. Sarah’s jealousy consumes her a little more as she see’s Chuck lead Isabella out to the dance floor. The song “The way you look Tonight” by Frank Sinatra starts to play and Chuck leads Isabella around the dance floor. Sarah gets up from the bar and moves to where she can she Chuck and Isabella dancing. She thought she was looking at a totally different person, chuck had this high confidence and smile on his face, almost as if he was having fun. As the song ended and everyone watched chuck dip Isabella there was a applause over the crowd, the two stood up and took a bow and walked over to the bar.

Izzy: that was so much fun, where did you learn to dance like that?
Chuck: well, after I had to learn the tango I thought I would learn a few more dances.
Izzy: the tango, wow I am not that good, I think I will just stick to a waltz.
They both shared another laugh when a very tall man escorted by 3 more men, came an tapped on Chucks shoulder.

Man: Excuse me son, but I don’t think I ever gave you permission to dance with my daughter?
(Cut to chuck getting a little scared and swallowing hard)
Chuck: Mr. Dapani, Sir, my apologies but your daughter was looking so beautiful I just had to dance with her. And what is life without taking risks? Kinda boring right?

Marco Dapani looks down at chuck with an expressionless face. The tension between the 2 of them was making Chuck get a little scared, then Marco let out this larger than life laugh.
Marco: AAAAAHHHHAAAA!!! I like this kid, he has balls. What is your name?
Chuck: (very relieved) Charles, Charles Carmichael. Pleasure to meet you sir.
Marco: Oh sir, sir. Call me Marco.
Izzy: Papa!!
Marco: what, I am just having some fun with the boy, he looked like he was going to pee himself!!!

Everyone around starts to laugh and Chuck’s face gets a little red.
Marco: Come, you sit with us at our table, I will tell you stories about my little Izzy.

As they walk over to the reserve table, Chuck sits down next to Izzy and her father on the other side of her. Marco stands up for a second.

Marco: everyone this is Katie Walker, she will be joining us as well. ( You see Sarah walk up and take a seat next to Marco who pushes her chair in for her.)
Sarah: such a gentleman! ( With a flirty giggle)

Cut to Chuck with a Semi-shocked look on his face. He knew that he would see Sarah with Marco, he just didn’t think they would all be sitting at the same table!!! Chuck just thought to himself, Things are about to get uncomfortable!!!

Chuck vs Santa Ana Part 1

Chuck vs. Santa Ana


It has been a long 6 months for Chuck Bartowski. In that time he has gone from a normal slacker working at a dead end job at an electronic store, to holder of a government super computer which has put his life in constant danger and fear! To add to Chucks newfound stress levels he is under constant surveillance of the government’s top 2 agents, one is a NSA, cold blooded killer that would like nothing more than to end this boring assignment and go on to something more exciting. The other is the CIA’s top agent that is posing as his girlfriend but actually has feeling for him but can’t say anything cause of her job and they both just keep riding along the emotional rollercoaster. Well with winter fading into spring and the gusty winds of Santa Ana rolling through the valleys to the coast maybe things could change for our loveable nerd!......or maybe not.


We begin with a look of the Los Angles skyline and a shot of a big dust cloud hanging over the city, you also see pictures of people on the streets trying to walk in the high powered wind gusts while clinching on to their purse or briefcase. Then we move into Casa Bartowski where Ellie is running around the apartment trying to find her keys so she can go to work.

Ellie: Chuck have you seen my keys? (Yelling as she runs out of her room)
Chuck: (just getting out of bed) No sis, you know if you stop for a second and not look for them, that is usually when you find them.
Ellie: (all frantic) I know, I don’t have time, I half to get to the hospital, with all this wind and the temperature being so hot, its making people act all crazy and the ER keeps paging me. (All of a sudden she stops and turns around to look at her brother.) And why aren’t you getting ready for work?
Chuck: (who is now in the kitchen with a bowl of Captain Crunch, looks up at his sister) I took the day off, I need a break from my life before my head explodes.
Ellie: (has an evil look on her face) I hate you, I wish I could call in sick, but no I have people’s lives to save. (She walks back down the hallway, still looking for her keys.)
Chuck: ( sees Ellies keys on the living room table, and goes and picks them up) Oh sis, some people want to be heroes and others half to be asked!
(Chuck thought back to when Sarah asked if he was ready to be a hero and not thinking about the applications that came along with it. He walked over to his sister and gave her a hug to calm her down, then handed her, her keys.) Now go out there and save some lives.
Ellie: (has a smile on her face) thank you, enjoy your day off (she walks to the door and tries not to be blown over when she opens it up then turns around)oh and chuck..
Chuck: Ya, sis?
Ellie: Don’t worry im sure one day you will save the world.
Chuck has smirk on his face as he thought to himself “if she only knew”

Outside in the courtyard Sarah walks up in a very dressed down pair of jeans and an old looking Nebraska cornhusker shirt. She sees Ellie leaving in a hurry and says Hi. Ellie returned the Hi with an apology that she was late and had to go. Sarah laughed and said its ok, and as she turned around she sees Casey leaving for work. Casey looks at her choice of clothes and grunts!

Sarah: What?
Casey: Nothing Agent Walker, just never considered you as a cornhusker.
Sarah: It’s just an old t-shirt; I am not going to ruin a good outfit on my day off with the wind like it is.
Casey: Grunt #7, whatever walker, chucks inside, he took the day off as well, you two have plans?
Sarah: No, Agent Casey, I didn’t know Chuck was taking off today, is there something wrong with him?
Casey: I don’t know, why don’t you go in there and shuck his corn to find out, I am late for work!
Sarah: Have fun at work Casey, im sure Jeff and Lester are waiting for their King.
Casey’s smile from his shucking comment went to a stern frown and a grunt as he walked off. Sarah turned back around and was looking at the door to Chucks. She thought it might be a good idea to spend some time with him without worrying about work, which was a change for her, since everything was about work. As she knocked on the door and walked inside, she saw chuck lying on the couch watching the news. He looked at her and had his usual goofy grin on his face that quickly faded away,
Chuck: No, no not today, I am off today I don’t care what government crisis is going on!
Sarah: Shut up, it’s my day off too, and I didn’t have anything else to do with this weird weather.
Chuck: So you came over here? (he asked with smile and a happy tone.)
Sarah: (looked at him and smiled) Well I thought I would give you a ride to work but since your not going to work either. (Sarah goes and sits next to him on the couch and chuck puts his arm around her.)
Chuck: Sorry, habit. (he goes to pull his arm back around before Sarah grabs it)
Sarah: It’s ok, I like this habit.
They both stair into each others eyes sharing a very tender moment when Sarah shakes out of it and turn to look at the TV. Chuck has a look of disappointment on his face as he looks back to the TV to listen to the weather.

Weatherman: Well Los Angeles, Santa Ana is rearing his nasty head in our direction with wind gust up to 35 to 45mph and the temperature jumping from 81 to a scorching 97. This weather looks like its going to continue for a few days. My advice is to stay inside lock all the doors and windows and cuddle up with the one you love because this is going to be a nasty one.

Chuck: great!!! (he says sarcastically as he gets up to go in the kitchen, and Sarah follows)
Sarah: What is that a bad thing?
Chuck gets a bottle of water from the fridge and offers one to Sarah, but she shakes her head and says no thanks.
Chuck: the myths of the Santa Ana winds are blamed for the homicide rate to increase and it gets people paranoid about earthquakes. (He takes a sip of water and looks at Sarah who has a looks of disbelief on her face. So chuck walks over and stands very close to her.) It’s also known that when the temperature rises during the winds that lovers come together cause their blood starts to boil over with curiosity, rage and passion, they just can’t help themselves.

Sarah knew where this was going and wanted it to go there, but the job was about to get in the way again. Chuck we can’t, I am your handler, I… we…. Just can’t. As she tried to move away from him to keep herself from giving into the temptation, chuck grabbed her arm and pulled her back in closer.

Chuck: you and I have been doing this tap dance long enough now, and so what if you’re my handler, (he moves his hand to her cheek and stairs into her eyes and whispers) just make sure you handle me with extra care.

Before Sarah could respond Chuck plants a wicked kiss on her. She didn’t have enough will power to back away. His hand moved up into her hair, her arms wrapping around the back of his shoulders. They were both consumed, feverishly and passionately kissing each other, all of their emotions that they had been hiding or denying for so long all at once erupting with full force.

Then with oh so perfect timing you hear Sarah’s phone starts to ring.

Chuck: Don’t answer it (as he is planting kisses down Sarah’s neck)
Sarah: Oh god, I don’t want to but its director Graham.
Chuck a little perturbed backs off to let Sarah answer the phone.
Sarah: (out of breath) Walker here.
Graham: Agent Walker, I need you to meet Major Casey and the intersect at his apartment; there is a high priority issue that we need your help with.
Sarah: Understood Sir.
Sarah hangs up the phone and gives chuck this apologetic look.
Chuck: we half to go to work don’t we?
Sarah: uhh, ya director graham needs our help with a high…
Before she could finish what she wanted to say she saw the sad look on his face. She puts her hands on his face and kisses his lips, maybe after were done with work we can come back here and finish this conversation! That really didn’t make him feel any better at the time being but he managed a small smile.

As they walk into Casey’s apartment, you see Casey making a minor adjustment to his bonsai tree then looks up at Chuck and Sarah with a very mischievous grin.

Casey: what’s the matter Chuck? You look a little blue.
Chuck: (still a little perturbed) you have no idea.
They both turn around and look at Sarah, who doesn’t know if she should be upset or embarrassed.
Sarah: What is this high priority case?

Casey goes and grabs some files sitting on his desk. Marco and Isabella Depani. Italian arms dealer and mob boss, daughter Isabella is graduating from USC this weekend and daddy is throwing her a big graduation party amongst making some illegal deals with some local bad guys. Our orders are to go to the party and get close to father and daughter and find out whatever we can before this deal goes down.
Chuck: what happens if the deal goes down?
Cut to Casey looking annoyed and the computer monitors coming on with General Beckman sitting at her desk.
Beckman: Mr. Bartowski, (cut to chuck, jumping a little from the sudden appearance of the general.) if this deal goes down, it will be very hard for the government to stop the bad guys when they are being shot at with illegal automatic weapons and armor piercing bullets, the streets of LA will be a lot more dangerous than they are now, and that is not satisfactory.
Sarah: How would you like us to proceed?
Beckman: Agent Walker, you will be going to the party and try to get close to Marco.
(cut to chuck looking at Sarah with an aquard look, he knew that ment she had to be all flirty.) Mr. Bartowski you will be going to the party and staying close to Marco’s
daughter Isabella, she may know something and while at the party if you flash on anyone, Major Casey will be there for back-up.
All three have this look of confusion on their face.
Sarah: General I don’t think it’s a good idea to put the intersect in the middle of this, things might get dangerous.
Beckman: Agent Walker your not paid to think, and judging by that shirt your wearing that’s a good thing! your paid to work and your work involves Marco Depani, and you said it yourself that Mr. Bartowski was a reasonably charming guy, he will be fine with Depani’s daughter. All of the information on these arms dealers were fed into that computer, so Mr. Bartowski might half to be put in harms way for a little bit to id these people. Good luck. (screen goes blank.)
Casey: This is going to be a fun night, Walker’s getting close to Papa Depani and Chuck gets to go fool around with his daughter!! The anticipation is too much, Santa Ana is kickin up a good ole storm this year!
He grunts and walks off. Chuck and Sarah just stair at each other not knowing what to say.
