Chuck vs Senior Frog Part 4

After Chuck's little stunts out on the water the group head to Miguel Velasquez’s estate not to far from the hotel. They pull up to an old plantation looking house with a barn and stables around the back.

Bailey: your place is so beautiful!
Miguel: thank you, this land has been in my family for generations and we keep expanding it.
Casey: it’s a nice spread! How many acres do you say you have?
Miguel: including the mountain and the property the hotel sits on......around 900.
Chuck: 900 acres??? That is a lot of land. What do you plan on doing with it?
Miguel: Well as soon as I can get my government to make a deal with me, I want to develop it.
Carina: why won't the government allow you to develop on your own property?
Miguel: let’s just say the Mexican government views on the future are much different from mine, but they will soon come around to my way of thinking!

He gunts and lets out a little sinister laugh.

Sarah: so where are these beautiful horses you were telling us about?
Miguel: they are outback in the stable, my servant (he waves to man to come over and the man complies) will take you back there and set you up.

Bailey: aren't you coming?
Miguel: I will catch up, I have a few business calls to make.
Carina: (in a flirtatious tone) well don't be to long, we might miss you!
Sarah and Bailey roll their eyes at Carina’s cheap attempt.

As they start to walk to the stables and Miguel heads for the house, Bailey slips away from everyone and catches up with Miguel.

Bailey: sorry, I know you’re going to be making some calls but is it ok if I stay with you?
Miguel: you don't want to go with your sister and friends?
Bailey: not really, I see them everyday, I want to stay with the adventure!
Miguel: (with a smile on his face) Ok. Come with me, there is something I want to show you.
Bailey: Ok!

He takes her hand and they head into the house. As the team get into the stables they noticed Bailey is missing.

Chuck: hey, where is Bailey?
Sarah: working!
Carina: yah, working on getting in Miguel’s pants!

Casey looks like he is about to choke Carina.

Sarah: she knows what she is doing better than you do so let’s keep up this cover until she needs our help.
Casey: agreed.
Sarah: chuck?
Chuck:(puts his hands up) hey don't look at me, stay on the horse Chuck!! (He says with a smirk).

They get on their horses and walk towards the tree line to follow a trail.

Servant: Wait!! You cannot go over there, it is off limits!! You must stay to the other side of the property!

The group look at each other then back to the tree line. They were all thinking the same thing, what was back behind the trees?

Back at Miguel’s house, Bailey is escorted by another servant into a large room that had 2 huge doors that opened up to a balcony overlooking most of Miguel’s property. As bailey stood out on the balcony and enjoyed the view of rolling hills and wildlife and a river that meet the ocean, she heard Miguel enter the room and decided to take a few pictures. He walks up behind her and pulls her hair back behind her neck and kisses her shoulder.

Bailey: it is so beautiful here!

Miguel continues to kiss up her neck as he slides his hand down the front of her shirt causing her to grimes in pain. Miguel backs off, as bailey reaches for her chest.

Miguel: I’m sorry, to fast?
Bailey: no, I’m sorry.

She opens her shirt a little ways exposing her scar from where Sarah stabbed her.

Bailey: it’s still a little sensitive!

Miguel takes his hand and gently runs it over her scar.
“I saw it when we were out on the boat, I didn't want to ask and make you uncomfortable! It is in such a unique spot, far enough away from the heart but close enough to cause a lot of pain and damage! Can’t trust anyone now a day’s cause when you do things like this happen!”

Bailey started to think about what Miguel was saying and the word trust! She had spent so much time and effort trying to gain the trust of the team when hers was given out without question. She started to dwell on the fact that she still might not be fully trusted by Sarah and Casey, Chuck on the other hand has done nothing but trusted her. She snaps out of it when she feels Miguel touch her scar. He runs his fingers over it again before he lowers his head and kisses it gently causing Bailey to shiver slightly.

He continues to kiss her neck and chest as she runs her fingers threw his hair and taking a firm grip as he wraps his arms around her pulling her in close. The two where consumed by each other, though that was not Bailey’s plan she wasn't fighting to hard to change it. After a few moments, the groping and make out session subsided when another man in a business suit entered the room and was announced by a servant.

Servant: Mr. Wilkinson is here for you sir!
Miguel: (in a disappointed and aggravated tone) thank you, have him wait in my office! (He turns and looks back at Bailey) I have some business to take care of, will you wait here?
Bailey: of course, (she runs her hand down his chest) we have some unfinished business of our own to take care of!
Miguel is excited to hear that and has a rather large smile on his face as he walks away.

Bailey’s smile turns to a cold and hardened unemotional frown.

Still in a weird daze, she doesn't realize that someone is behind her calling her name. As the person approaches and grabs her shoulder, she breaks out of her daze and reacts in a violent force gabbing their wrist and forcing them to the ground, she quickly lets go when she sees that it is Chuck!

Chuck: hey, I’m sorry, I’m sorry. I will never do it again I promise!!

Bailey helps Chuck off the ground as Sarah, Casey and Carina walk out on the balcony. After Bailey helps Chuck up she walks over to the edge. Sarah quickly registers that something is wrong with her as does Casey. When Bailey turns to face everyone Sarah makes a quick motion for her to button her shirt. As she does she gives a quick side look to Casey then asks what they were doing back so soon?

Carina: well, we were blocked from the west half of the property where the tree line is, there is something there they don't want people to see.
Casey: Yah, there is that and the fact that Chuck cannot ride a horse!
Chuck (rubbing his wrist) hey I’m sorry ok, I’m not Zorro!
Casey grunts: that's for sure! I would really hate to see what you could or should I say couldn’t do with a sword!
Sarah: enough you two, where is Miguel.
Bailey: he is in a business meeting with a Mr. Wilkinson.
Carina: and you didn't think it important to snoop?

Bailey: no, for 1 there security cameras everywhere and I’m not going to blow our cover, 2. I don't need to snoop with the mini mike I placed inside Miguel’s front jean pocket that is linked to a receiver in my hotel room, so when we get back we can replay the conversation.
Carina: and what is number 3
Bailey: and number 3 is that you’re a dumbass and I would love nothing more to kick your ass!

Carina blows a kiss at Bailey which causes her to lunge at Carina but is stopped by Casey.

Casey: ok, lets all calm down and relax, there is no need for this right now, you can kill her later!

Bailey looks up at Casey with a cold stare then pulls her arm away from his grasp.
Miguel walks back out on the balcony with Mr. Wilkinson.

Miguel: ahh, my friends. How was your ride?
Chuck: I think next time I want to ride a horse, I will just watch blazing saddles!

As Miguel and Mr. Wilkinson laugh at Chucks comment, Chuck’s eyes grow heavy as he flashes at the sound of Mr. Wilkinson’s voice.

Miguel: are you ok, my friend? You look faint.
Sarah: he is fine, I think the sun and all the bouncing around from the horse got to him!
Miguel: well I will have my car take you back to the hotel, and I would like to invite you all too a little celebration party I am hosting here tonight.
Carina: that sounds fun! What are we celebrating?
Miguel: well after my little meeting with Mr. Wilkinson here, I think that my government will finally see things my way on my development plan.
Carina: well congratulations!
Miguel: thank you. (He looks over at Bailey) so will I see you tonight?
Bailey: of course!
Miguel: excellent, till then. (He takes her hand and kisses it as he walks back inside with Mr. Wilkinson.)

Bailey lets out a sigh. "We need to get back and find out what was said! And Chuck, (they look at each other as to not tip off Carina of Chuck’s abilties) you can fill me in later!"


Back at the Hotel the team gathers in Bailey’s room as she plays back the conversation between Miguel and Mr. Wilkinson.

Mr. Wilkinson: You will be pleased to know that with our recent trades and purchases from our contacts in the West, we have everything we need to proceed with our cause.
Miguel: Excellent! The power of this country has laid dormant for to long, and our government keeps putting a strain on our abilities, well no more! Soon we will lead a revolution to make Mexico the most powerful country the world has ever seen!
Mr. Wilkinson: Well then I think we should celebrate our upcoming victory with our western friends!
Miguel: Yes, that is a great idea, tonight I will throw a party and shall invite our western business partners as we make our deal to over throw our government!

Bailey stops the tape and walks over to the window and stares off into space.

Sarah: We could end this tonight! He said they were all going to be at the party and have a final meeting!
Casey: I don’t know about you but I am ready to go back to the good ole U. S of A. so I say we take them down tonight as well!
Carina: Aww, what’s the matter Casey? Not having a fun trip?
Casey: No, remember I am married to you! I would rather afghani warlords bleed me from my liver and buzzards peck out my eyeballs than stay here with you!
Chuck: You are such a happy person Casey! You should write one of those Chicken Soup Books for the Soul, on how to live a happy life!
Bailey: ENOUGH!!!!

Everyone turns with a shocked look at a very angry Bailey standing next to the window.

Bailey walks back over to the center of the room.
“ We will move on Velasquez and his associates tonight at the party.”

Before Sarah can say something Bailey cuts her off.

I want Chuck and Sarah mixing in with the crowd acting like newlyweds, you 2 haven’t had a problem with that so far! (Chuck and Sarah blush) I need you to help ID the rest of the possible business partners of Velasquez! Carina, once ID’s have been made, do what you do best!

Carina: I don’t know if that was a compliment or an insult!
Bailey: Do you really care?
Carina: No! Not really.
Bailey: good then shut up!

Casey grunts: And what am I to do?
Bailey: Watch my back when I go after Velasquez!
Casey: Hey wait….
Bailey: That is all, everyone go get ready for the party and leave me alone, I have some things to take care of.

She walks over to her bag and pulls out a cell phone with a direct line to her agency.

Chuck: Do you still want to know about….
Bailey: No!

Chuck stands up and gives Bailey a look then walks out followed by Carina and Casey. Sarah on the other hand walks over to the door and slams it shut.

Sarah: What the hell is your problem?
Bailey: My problem?
Sarah: Yes, your problem! Something must have gotten under your skin up at that house because you weren’t acting like this before?

Bailey walks to the other side of the room away from Sarah trying to avoid her. She reaches into her bag to get her dress and the things she will need for the mission.

Sarah: You can’t just ignore me! This is a team not the Bailey show, like it or not you will have to trust us to do our jobs and stop barking orders at us without giving anyone a chance to speak!

That was it, Bailey couldn’t take it anymore she snaps at Sarah!

Bailey: TRUST!! You want to talk about TRUST! I am down here in Mexico with the one person I hate the most for getting my partner killed, and I have done nothing but trusted you and Casey ever since I showed up in California and what did that get me!! (She opens up her shirt to expose her scar) Stabbed in the chest by my best friend, so don’t go lecturing to me about trust unless you’re going to start practicing what you preach Agent Walker!!

Bailey stood there with rage and pain in her eyes looking at a surprised Sarah, who looked like she just stuck her foot in her mouth. Sarah had never seen Bailey breakdown like this before, she always tried to cover her anger with sarcasm and witty humor but it finally hit a breaking point. This was an all new side of Bailey that wasn’t very well like by Sarah, she was cold and unruly not good for an agent about to go on a mission.

Sarah: You need to check your attitude at the door because it is not good for you or the mission!
Bailey: I think you need to check your ass out of my room before I kick it out!!

Sarah was taken back again at Baileys comments, but it was a defense mechanism that Sarah knew all to well herself. Pushing people away and putting up barriers was something she had come more than accustomed to. So she took a deep breath and swallowed hard and made a final attempt to get through to her.

Sarah: I can’t change the past, what’s done is done and we have to move on from that! You have always been too strong of a person to let…..

She loses her train of thought when she sees Bailey turn her back to her and face the window. She knew it was because she was talking like an agent.

Sarah: Look believe what you want but there are people here that love you and are trusting you with their lives! Everyone needs help sometimes, even if you are a super spy!

Bailey bites her lower lip and rolls her eyes looking up at the ceiling trying to hold back a few tears. When she turns around to say something she sees that Sarah is gone. Bailey just lets out an exasperated breath as she stares at the open door.
