Chuck vs The Sorority Sister Part 3

About an hour later Bailey caught up with Chuck down around Huntington Beach, 30 miles southwest of Los Angeles. Chuck was sitting at the end of the Pier looking out over the water, deep in thought.

Bailey: (walks up behind him and breaks his train of thought) I remember coming down here to find you after Jill broke up with you!
Chuck: You weren’t even around when that happened!
Bailey: Just because you didn’t see me, doesn’t mean that I wasn’t here. When I had missions that brought me out here I would watch you and Ellie from a distance to see how your lives were and make sure everything was ok.
Chuck: That is a little creepy cuz, why didn’t you come by or call?
Bailey: I couldn’t compromise my cover, as much as I wanted to. Especially after Jill left you, I wanted to kick that scrawny, sorry ass, everquest playing girls butt! She didn’t deserve you, you need someone that will be there for you always and will kick you in the butt when you start to act like a chicken!

They both laugh.

Chuck: I really want Sarah to be that girl, but if she has doubts or is not happy here, then I want her to leave.

They both are silent for a few minutes listening to the waves break on the beach.

Bailey: Chuck…I know this is hard but don’t count Sarah out just yet.

Chuck looks up at Bailey then back out at the water and gives a half smile.

Bailey: You hungry? I know a great place not to far from here and you kinda skipped out on your sisters cooking!

Chuck: Yes, I am starving let’s go!

They get in the car and drive up the coast to Seal Beach, where they see a new Arleigh Burke class guided missile Destroyer moored up to the pier on the Navy base.

Bailey: Oh, the Navy must be having weapons on-load.
Chuck: Huh?
Bailey: Navy ships as well as Coast Guard come up here for weapons on-load like, tomahawk missiles, sea sparrows missiles and torpedo’s and ammo for that large gun you see in the front called the 5inch, all sorts of things. That there is a Destroyer, and a new one at that. The weapons system called AEGIS on that ship is amazing!

They drive up a few more blocks and pull in front of a restaurant.
Chuck: O’Malley’s Irish Pub?
Bailey: This place is awesome, good food and lots of beer!!
Chuck: Sounds good to me.

The next few hours they chatted away, catching up and having fun. As the night wore on more and more navy personnel walked into the bar and everyone was having a good time singing, cursing and drinking.
Chuck: Now I know why there is the expression, curse and drink like a sailor! (They laugh and join in with the crowd)

An older man, in about his late 60’s walked in the bar.

Sailors: Admiral Leflore!! (They all yelled) Come have a drink with us!

As the Admiral walked over to his group, Chuck looked up and made eye contact with a man that was sitting alone at the bar and caused chuck to flash.

Chuck chokes a little on his beer.

Bailey: What’s wrong had enough Sailor?
Chuck: No that man over there sitting at the bar, his name is Steven Gilman. He is a freelance hit man and I think he is here to kill the Admiral.
Bailey: Are you sure? (Chuck shakes his head yes and as they turn back Steven was gone.)
We need to get home so I can notify General Beckman and Director Graham.

They get in the car and drive back to the apartment complex. They walk into Casey’s apartment.

Casey: (not happy) Thanks for skipping out and leaving me there with Morgan, Awesome and Ellie!!!
Bailey: Oh shut up and deal with it, we have bigger problems.
Casey: Why, what’s going on?
Bailey: Chuck flashed on a man in the bar we were in and he thinks he is going to try and kill the Admiral of Pacific Fleet.
Casey: You took the intersect to a bar? (Bailey crosses her arms and gives a scowling look)I’ll call the General!
Bailey: Thank you, at least you are good for something!

Casey cuts a dark look back at Bailey

Bailey: Chuck go home and I will call you when we find out what the plan is.

Chuck agrees and leaves Casey’s apartment. Bailey pulls out her phone to call Sarah, it goes straight to voicemail.

Bailey: Sarah, hey I need you to get over here now, we have a job to do! (Bailey hangs up her phone and starts to get some things ready.)
Casey: I don’t think it’s a good idea to have Chuck and Sarah in the same car after their conversation.
Bailey: They will be fine, they just have some issues to work out.
Casey: The only thing that needs to be worked out is your buddy’s ability to do her job!
Bailey: Sarah is fine and can do this job better than anyone I know!
Casey: Aww how sweet, you’re sticking up for your friend, when you know damn well that her feelings and behavior towards chuck has compromised her and is one day going to get someone killed!
Bailey: And what about my feelings and behavior towards Chuck? I don’t hear you saying anything about that, family protecting family in this job is unheard of, so Casey what do you have to say about that? (Casey is at a loss for words) Look, I don’t know about everything that has gone on here, but what I do know is right now there is a job to do and Sarah and Chuck can suck it up long enough to get the job done, then they can go back to the little tap dance their doing!

Sarah walks in the door.

Casey: Look here is the lead dancer now!
Sarah gives him a blank stare
Bailey: Casey, shut up before you piss me off!
Casey walks towards the door to lock it.
Casey:Oh, im real scared of the “One we don’t speak of!”

Bailey gets pissed and takes out a small dagger and throws it at Casey just barley missing his face but giving him a little nick on his cheek. His eyes reflect a slight hint of fear.

Bailey: That’s just a little kiss on the cheek from me Sugar Bear!!(Bailey blows a kiss at him)
Casey locks the door and gives a slightly higher pitched growl than usual.

Sarah: Will you two cut it out and tell me what is going on!
Bailey: Chuck and I were in a bar down in Seal Beach when…
Sarah: You took him to a bar????
Casey: See!!
Bailey: Shut up and let me finish, Anyways Chuck flashed on a man sitting alone at the bar and ID him as Steven Gilman freelance hit man.
Sarah: So what is this Steven Gilman doing here?
Bailey: Chuck thinks he is going to cap the Admiral of Pacific Fleet. He came in the bar and must be down there checking out the new Destroyer that was moored there.
Casey: What’s so important about the Admiral?

Just as Casey asked, the monitor in the background came on with General Beckman and Director Graham.

Beckman: The Admiral is working on upgrading programs for the AEGIS weapons system, which combines space-age communications, radar, and weapons technologies into a single platform for unlimited versatility and firepower!
Graham: The program is amazing and the Admirals upgrades will only advance the program further. If the information ever got into enemy hands it would be catastrophic.
Bailey: So you think that Gilman is going to steal the upgrades then kill the Admiral?
Beckman: Yes, if Gilman is able to obtain those upgrades, he will sell them to the highest bidder. We need you Agent Fisher and Agent Walker to take Chuck back to the Naval Station in Seal Beach, find this Steven Gilman and make sure he does not follow through with his plan!
Casey: What are my orders General?
Beckman: Major Casey, your orders are to stay at home and take care of your self, I believe that Agent Fisher and Agent Walker can handle this one without you! Is that understood?
Casey has a depressed look on his face: Understood General.
Graham: We will inform the Admiral of the situation and that your on your way to extract him. Good luck people.

Screen goes blank:

Bailey: Ok, Sarah go over and get Chuck then we will head down to Seal Beach.
Sarah has a not to happy facial expression
Bailey: What?
Sarah: Nothing, we have a job to do so let’s go!
Bailey: Good girl, don’t shoot him when you go over there!
Sarah leaves
Casey: Why did you just send her over there?
Bailey: So they can establish communications before we leave!
Casey: Huh???
Bailey: Never mind, I don’t have time to explain how normal people act! Have a good time sitting here twittling your thumbs while I get to go have fun killing bad guys!!
Bailey grabs a bag of equipment and heads to the car.
Casey growls and says a few choice words under his breath.

Sarah slowly walks up to Chuck’s window and sees him looking at pictures of them on his computer. She taps on the window to get his attention, he gets up and opens the window but doesn’t speak.

Sarah: We need to go back to Seal Beach, to the Naval Station.
Chuck: They think that Steven Gilman guy is going to kill the Admiral?
Sarah: Yes, but not after he gets some valuable information from him first, so we need to go!
Chuck grabs his keys and his phone off his dresser and exits out the window. As he and Sarah walk out the gate of the apartment complex, Bailey is standing next to the car on her phone.

Bailey: We need to go now, the Admiral was just kidnapped by a man fitting Gilman’s description. They were last seen heading in the vicinity of the old steal factory.

About 20 minutes later they reached the abandon factory. Sarah got out of the car and scanned the area for signs of life. Bailey told Chuck to wait in the car while they go find the admiral.

Sarah looked at Bailey.

Bailey: what?
Sarah: he is stubborn and never waits in the car. That must run in the family!!
Bailey: you have no room to talk, like the time I told you to wait in the hotel room cause your hand was broken, and what did you do!!?
Sarah looks over at chuck, who has an interested look on his face.
Sarah: can we talk about this later, now is not the time!
Chuck: nothing is ever the right time for you!
Sarah stood up at his comment as they shared a similar glare.
Bailey: Hey Bonnie and Clyde!! We have work to do, (she walks over to chuck and pushes him into the drivers seat and puts his hands between the steering wheel and cuffs his hands to where he can't escape.)
Chuck: hey, this is not right and totally not fair!
Bailey: I know, deal with it! We will be back in a few minutes. Don't go anywhere, am I clear?

Chuck raises his wrists with the cuffs on. "In-escapable clear!"

Bailey shuts the door and she and Sarah kick into action mode with guns drawn and eyes peeled. Chuck watches as they enter the factory and veered to the left. Moments later a small light appeared on the second level in the factory heading in the direction of Bailey and Sarah. Chuck had no way to warn them, he tried to worm his way out of the cuffs but she had put them on to tight.

In the factory Bailey searched though a dark room with Sarah right behind her as a tail. Bailey all of a sudden stops and stands up straight from her tactical position.
Sarah: what's wrong (she whispered)

Bailey motioned Sarah to be quiet and pulled her behind her next to the wall by the door. There was nothing but silence. Bailey put her gun in its holster and pulled out a huge bowie knife and crouched down in a pouncing position next to the door. Sarah just stood there looking at her thinking "what in the hell is she doing?"

A few minutes had gone by and Sarah hadn't heard a sound and thought Bailey was losing her mind, when all of a sudden she saw a barrel of a gun pier thought the door, not quite entering but enough to be noticed. As the gun appeared with an arm Bailey attacked grabbing the arm and twisting it to where the person let out a scream and dropped the gun. She then threw the person against the wall and put the knife to their neck. After Bailey had a firm grip on the situation Sarah reached over and turned on the light. Bailey had a hold of Steven Gilman by the arm which was inches away from breaking and had her knife lodged next to his throat enough to break the skin and cause blood to run!

Sarah: How did you know he was coming?
Bailey: I’m good like that!! (Sarah gave her a “ya right” look) ok, I could hear when his heal hit the floor. Sensitive hearing!!

They both focus back on Gilman.

Bailey: listen closely to me before I get knife happy! Tell me where the admiral is and I let you live! Play games with me and I will just cut your throat right here.

A look of sheer terror came over Gilman’s face, he knew she wasn't screwing around the way the knife was positioned, he had a hard time talking but Bailey wasn't going to let up on her hold. Gilman managed an "upstairs third door on the left". Bailey brought the knife down and flipped his arm around the other direction spinning his body to where his face was in the wall and his back to her and Sarah.

Sarah pulled out her cuffs and put them on Gilman..

Sarah: nice to see those anger management classes worked out for ya!
Bailey: beating up on terrorists and criminals is anger management. Let’s get him to the car then we can run up and get the admiral. Sarah jams her gun right into Gilman’s back causing him to groan in pain. "Move it! Your right this is like anger management!" as they walk out the factory Bailey notices Gilman has a smile on his face.

Bailey: what's so funny, dead man?
Steven: nothing
Bailey: that's what I thought so SHUT UP!!

They get closer and closer to the car

Sarah: where is chuck?
Bailey: Shit!! I left the handcuff key on the key ring with the car keys!!
Sarah: smart one, super spy!
Bailey: shut up, (they look around) he must have gone inside to find the admiral!

They put Gilman in the back seat and start walking towards the factory to go find chuck and the admiral.

They were about 60 yards away from the door

Sarah: I am going to kill him!!!

As soon as that expression left her mouth the whole factory exploded knocking both of them back to about where the car was.
Bailey gets up and has some cuts on her arm and is a little dizzy.
Sarah gets up and leans against the car and tries to catch her breath that was knocked out of her.

"Oh my god!! Chuck!!! She starts running towards the burning building screaming his name over and over. Bailey runs her down and tackles her before she got to close to the fire.
Bailey: Sarah!! There is no way anyone survived that blast!!

They both sat there staring into the fire with tears in their eyes.
Sarah looks at Bailey and pounces on her screaming!

“This is your fault, if you would have taken the keys he would still be in the car.”
Sarah’s hands were wrapped around Bailey’s neck choking her, Bailey tried to loosen Sarah’s grip. Sarah’s tears were running down her face in a continuous stream. She loosened her grip and Bailey caught her breath and just put her arms around Sarah trying to calm her down.

" Agent Fisher, Agent Walker are you all right?" they turn around to look at the voice. It was the Admiral standing over by the car.
Bailey: How did you escape sir?

Admiral: by that brave man over there (he pointed over to a pile of scrap medal that had been left in the yard, there stood chuck looking on as his cousin and Sarah thought he was dead. He starts to walk back to the car. Bailey and Sarah get back on their feet and watch chuck as he walks towards them.)

Chuck: I know I know, I should have waited in the car!
Bailey walks up to chuck and hugs him then puts him in a choke hold. "If you ever do that again I will kill you myself! Got it?"
Chuck: gasping for air! I got it! I got it!

She releases him from the choke hold and he straightens back up and looks at Sarah. Her tears have stopped running and she has a melancholy look on her face.
Chuck: hey im ok, everything is good. You got the bad guy I helped saved the admiral! What's wrong?

Sarah had no reply for him, she gave him a tired look and walked back to the car without saying a word! Chuck hung his head. She didn't need to say anything it would have been the same ass chewing he always got, how he is to valuable cause of the secrets in his head and yada, yada,yada.

Just then back up arrived.

Bailey: perfect timing as always boys! Here take the bad guy, clean up crew you know what to do, and any questions comments, take them to someone who cares because we are leaving!

Bailey and Chuck went to get in the car.
“Sarah lets go!”

She turned around and looked at Bailey then at Chuck then back to Bailey who waved her hands to come on.
Sarah: I will catch up later I need to call the director and let him know what happened.
Bailey: ok call me later ok.

Sarah shakes her head with agreement the looks over at chuck one last time before taking out her phone to call Graham.
Chuck gets in the car and slams the door.

They get back to the apartment complex and head to Casey’s to inform him what happen.
Casey is playing with his new trees when they come in and flop down on the couch.

Casey: what the hell happened to you two? You look like you got blown up!
Chuck: almost!
Casey: what, where is Walker?
Bailey: she is fine, she was talking to Graham then going to call me later. She is a little livid right now.
Casey: what did you do chuck?
Chuck: why does it always have to be my fault?
Casey: because it always is your fault!
Bailey: he got out of the car and went to save the admiral and the building blew up and we thought he was dead!
Casey: way to go ace.
Chuck: shut up Casey
Casey: why am I aggravating you?
Chuck: yes you are, I feel bad enough already!
Casey: good, you better get use to it because I am going to be here hounding you for a long, long time!
Bailey: your going to stay?!
Casey: yah, as much as I think this assignment is for the birds, someone has to help keep him alive, and probably after Romeos display of heroism tonight Sarah might already be on a plane back to DC!
Chuck: WHAT! You don't know that.
Casey: and neither do you. So shut up.
Chuck: you shut up!
Bailey: Both of you shut up!! Chuck go home and get some sleep, it has been a long day.
Chuck: but...
Bailey: GO!!! And don't try calling Sarah, she does not want to talk to you right now.

Chuck hung his head again and walked out the apartment and over to his. As he got into his room and emptied his pockets and placed some loose change, his keys and his phone on the table. He stared at the picture of him and Sarah on the main screen. He picked it up and hit #2 on his speed dial, calling Sarah. He realized what he was doing and hung up the phone. "Give her space chuck, give her space" he said to himself, he looked at the phone again and closed his eyes as he clinched it in his hands. He let out a breath and put the phone on his night stand. He decided to do what he was told for once and get some sleep, so he changed and crawled underneath his sheets and just stared at the ceiling. He knew there was no way he was going to be able to sleep without knowing if Sarah was going to leave him forever! What was she going to do?

Back at Casey’s
Casey: So what is the plan? You do have a plan right?
Bailey: No, not really! (She smiles) I was just going to play it by ear, make it up as I go along, and see how it goes!
Casey: How much time does Walker have left?
Bailey looks down at her watch. “Less than an hour!”
Casey: What do you think she will do?
Bailey: I don’t know, (she gets up and walks towards the door) I will see you tomorrow and we can try and makeup a plan, get some structure, rules and guidelines all of that fun stuff!
Casey: (Grunts) just so we can break them!? (He says sarcastically)
Bailey: Absolutely! That’s the fun part!!! (She laughs as she walks out the door.)

Bailey leaves and crosses over to her apartment. She opens her door and sees Chuck in the living room looking at more pictures of her and Sarah.

Bailey: Chuck your going to go crazy if you don’t stop and get some sleep!
Chuck: Too late for that!! Has she called?
Bailey: No, Chuck I….

(Knock, Knock)

Bailey gets up and opens the door. There stood Sarah with 2 large suitcases and a plane ticket in her hand.

Bailey: So I guess this means you’re going back to DC?

Chuck gets up and stands next to Bailey with sadness in his eyes. Sarah was at a loss for words when she saw Chuck, she wasn’t expecting him to be there.

Sarah: I’m sorry but….

Chucks heart sank with his body, so he just closed his eyes and turned to walk back into the apartment.

Sarah: WAIT! (Chuck turns around)I’m sorry Bailey but your personal space is about to get a little smaller!

Sarah rips up the plane ticket.

Bailey: (Smiles) welcome home my sista! (She hugs Sarah, then moves out of the way so Sarah can go over and talk to chuck)

Chuck: (With a small glistening tear of happiness in his eye) Are you sure this is what you want?
Sarah: No…(she shakes her head) this is what I want!
She walks over and wraps her arms around his neck and plants a very passionate kiss on his lips. The two break apart with Chuck having his arms around Sarah’s waist and Sarah smiling up at him.

Bailey: Ok, if yawl are going to be getting freaky in here, make sure you put like a tie or do not disturb sign on the door so I know to stay away!!

They both turn and look at her and smile.

Bailey: Well it is nice to finally see things cleared up between you two! Now we get to look forward to a new beginning!

We end with the camera panning out from Bailey’s apartment with a shot of the three looking and laughing at each other and fade to black!
