Chuck vs Senior Frog Part 5

Sarah burst into her hotel room and begins to pace as Chuck walks out of the bathroom with a towel on and is brushing his teeth.

Sarah: What is it about your family that is so freaking irritating?
Chuck: Why, what happened?
Sarah: Bailey tried to bite my head off when I started talking to her about trusting us!
Chuck grunts while continuing to brush his teeth.
Sarah: What is that? (She grunts to mimic him)
Chuck: Not that I am taking sides here, but….. (Sarah cuts him off)
Sarah: You think I don’t trust her??
Chuck rather irritated about being cut off. “Umm, let’s see…YES!”
Sarah crosses her arms and is waiting to be enlightened: “And what gives you that assumption?”
Chuck: Sarah you stabbed her in the chest with a freakin knife!!! I don’t care who you are, spy or not that is going to leave a permanent mark mentally and physically!

Sarah looks down at the floor and drags a foot across the carpet in front of her.

Sarah: What do you want me to do Chuck? I can’t change the past and I am not good with situations like this!

Chuck walks over to her and puts his hands on her shoulders. “Do you trust her?”

Sarah: Yes, she is my friend and…

Chuck: No! Do you trust her over orders, over the CIA? Because that is how she trusts you and Casey and me! From the time she has shown up she has put us all before everything in her life and the only thing she has asked for in return is our trust!

Sarah looks back down at the floor and runs her fingers threw her hair stopping half way before looking back up. “Chuck its not that simple, you don’t know what this job can do to a person. People like to gain other peoples trust then at their greatest moment of weakness, they strike!

Chuck: Not my cousin!! I can’t believe we are getting into this again!!
Sarah: Well someone has to be the one to see reason here, you are too naive sometimes to notice the bad in people!

Chuck is now furious and can’t even stand to look at Sarah. “What is giving you this notion that you can’t trust her? Please tell me because I am kinda confused to how you two can be all buddy, buddy one minute then the next minute it turns into this!

Sarah: Chuck, I want to trust her, I really have no reason not to but... I don’t know for some reason I find it really hard to trust anyone lately.

Chuck isn’t satisfied with that answer. He is tired of arguing and finishes getting ready and walks to the door while Sarah stares after him.

Chuck: I may be naive but at least I am not the one with the cold and misguiding heart!!

He leaves and slams the door leaving Sarah in the room with a conflicted look upon her face. Why is it so hard for her to put her faith and trust into the people that she loved? She has known Bailey for almost a decade and they have been threw so much, then with one little screw up!! Wait make that a big screw up on the CIA and NSA’s part its like all that went away and never happened and her best friend was just another operative. Sarah didn’t like the way all this was sounding in her head, she started to think about Chuck and what he must think of her now. If she can’t trust her best friend, how will he ever believe that she trust him? All of the emotional thinking was giving her a headache and it was getting late, “there has got to be a way to fix this” she says as she headed for the bathroom to take a shower to get ready for this evening.

Back at Bailey’s room Casey knocks on the door.

Bailey: It’s open

Casey enters her room and shuts the door. Bailey walks out of the bathroom wearing a long black dancing dress and Casey can’t help but to watch and admire her beauty.

Bailey: I take it you’re here to find your wallet? Its over there on the table, you must have dropped it on the floor.
Casey: Thanks, I would hate for someone to have stolen it!
Bailey: Oh come on Casey, you don’t have anything worth stealing!

Casey grunts as he walks over to her and helps her put on a necklace. “Nice to see your back to your old sarcastic self again! Mind telling me what this afternoon was all about?”

Bailey turns around to face him. “This trip hasn’t exactly turned out the way I was hoping it would!”
Casey: I don’t think it has for any of us.
Bailey: All I wanted was to come down here, take care of the job, have some fun and clear the air of everything that has happened the past few weeks and maybe gain yawls trust. I am so sick and tired of putting myself out there for yawl to trust me and get nothing! I though after everything had happened I could move on from it but I can’t! I can’t move on till I know that we are all a team, 100% trust and faith in each other that is the only way this is going to work!

Casey: So not only are you giving orders, you’re giving ultimatums to?
Bailey: Casey; I need to know that you can trust me like I trust you?

Casey and Bailey exchange very serious looks as Bailey waits for his answer.


Miguel Velasquez’s House


As the sun set over the water and lights up the sky in beautiful shades of orange and pink we see a shot of Miguel Velasquez’s mansion with guest arriving left and right. There is a Mariachi band playing some traditional Spanish music as well as servants running around making sure the guest drinks are never empty.

Casey and Carina are the first to arrive at the party, one reason was because now after everything they are the only ones that seem to be getting along, and 2 Bailey had to go find Chuck and tell him that even though he may not like it, he needs to stay next to Sarah’s side all night.


Soon after Casey and Carina arrived, Bailey steps out of the car Miguel had sent over to get her. As Miguel stood at the entrance to the party shaking peoples hands as the arrive, he found himself at a loss for words when he saw her walking towards him.

Miguel: you look ravishing my dear!
Bailey: why thank you, this place is even more beautiful at night.
Mr. Wilkinson: Well Mr. Velasquez sure can throw a party! I hope we all have something to celebrate after tonight!!

Bailey gives a smile and a nod to Mr. Wilkinson which is returned by him. He knew that she fully understood what he just said.

Miguel: I see your friends are here but where are your sister and new brother in-law?
Bailey: oh they are just being fashionable late, you know newlyweds!!
They all share a laugh as they see Chuck and Sarah arrive at the party. Sarah looks around then spots Bailey and Miguel staring at them, she takes Chucks arm and walks that way.
Bailey: you know what, I am a little thirsty. Will you come with me to get a drink?
Miguel: I am sorry my dear, I must welcome my guests!
Mr. Wilkinson: I would be honored to escort you to the bar Ms. Bailey.
Bailey smiles and takes Mr. Wilkinson’s arm then turns back to Miguel. “Will you at least dance with me later?"
Miguel: I will be looking forward to it!

They share a smile and laugh as Bailey turns back around and walks towards the bar with Mr. Wilkinson. Sarah notices Bailey’s avoidance to have any contact with her so she drags Chuck over to talk to Miguel.

Miguel: aahh my favorite newlywed friends welcome to the party. (He kisses both sides of Sarah’s cheek and gives Chuck a firm handshake that causes Chuck shake his hand after Miguel lets go.)
Chuck: thanks, this is cool, totally better than anything you read in the brochures!
Miguel laughs: thank you, please go enjoy the party, I will see everyone shortly.

Sarah smiles and grabs Chuck’s arm and heads to the bar to talk to Bailey. Casey and

Carina do the same and as they walk up Mr. Wilkinson leaves to go back and talks to Velasquez.
Sarah: I thought you were suppose to hitting on Velasquez?
Carina: Yah, why do you get to have all the fun?
Bailey: I am not flirting with Wilkinson, we were just talking.
Carina: well I think we should go see what is behind that tree line so we can take this guy down!
Bailey: NO!! We will all stay here and ID the associates then take them all down.
Carina: that is just a waist of time.
Bailey: Carina, do not put anyone’s life in danger because you want to be impulsive!!
Sarah: what's the matter, afraid she might get the credit for the take down of a powerful Mexican drug lord that is planning a mutiny against his own country?

Bailey looks like she just got punched in the gut by Sarah’s comment. Chuck also has a not very happy look on his face that is noticed by Sarah.

Bailey: you know what, I can't take this anymore, Casey you are in charge, I am no longer respected or trusted by this team! When this is over I am gone!
Sarah: that's right run away and leave like you always do! What a great friend you are!
Bailey: I am a better friend than you could ever be to anyone!!

The two square off at each other ready to have a smack down match right there but are pulled apart by Casey and Chuck.

Casey: ok, we are all going to finish the job then have a big sit down conversation or cat fight! Chuck take Sarah and start making some ID's and Carina..... Go flirt with someone!
Bailey: No I am tired of this I want to know what it is that is making you act like this towards me Sarah.
Casey: Now is not the time for your personal matters, we have a job to do so let’s get it done!

Sarah looked at Bailey with a sad expression then took Chuck’s arm and walked away towards a group of people.

Chuck: I seriously don't get why you’re acting this way but you two need to find common ground somewhere!

Sarah gave a cold stare to him then they walked by the group of people and chuck flashed on 2 of the men that were talking.

Chuck: the short fat guy with the ugly red tie and black suit is Fernando Avalos head of the revolutionists and the man across from him is Jose Ortiz a powerful arms dealer with ties over in the Middle East and the Ukraine.

Sarah makes the report of Chuck’s flash to Casey and as Casey goes to tell Carina to go work her magic a large group of Miguel’s security guards start running towards the east side of the compound.

Casey: Oh great, where is Carina?

They all look around and don't see her anywhere. Bailey walks back up where Casey is standing when Mr. Wilkinson comes up to them.
Mr. Wilkinson: we have a problem, your friend was caught snooping around by the warehouses behind the trees and is now being held by Velasquez’s men!
Bailey: I knew she was going to do something stupid!!
Chuck and Sarah join them.
Wilkinson: If Miguel goes over there he will kill her then come after you guys, you must take him down now!

Bailey: ok Sarah, you and Wilkinson go get Carina while I distract Miguel then when I know yawl are clear Casey and I will take everyone down!
Sarah: NO, why should I go, and with him?
Bailey: Because I said so and he is undercover DEA!
Sarah: how do you know that?
Bailey: because I could tell and after Chuck had a flash I knew I was right, isn't that right Chuck?

Chuck looks at Sarah then at Bailey: Mr. Todd Wilkinson undercover DEA agent assigned to this mission back in 2006!

Casey: I hate to break up this moment of clarity but Velasquez is moving towards the back of the house!
Bailey looks at Sarah: GO!!

She walks over to Velasquez and cuts him off before he could walk away.

Bailey: Hey, you promised me a dance!
Miguel: sorry my dear there is an issue I must deal with!
Bailey: but you promised and this is my favorite song!

Just then the band starts to play a not very often played song.

Bailey: you can dance to the lambada can't you?

She asks as she grabs his hand and smiles a very seductive smile as she pulls him to the dance floor.
Miguel swallows hard: well I guess it can wait till after the dance!

They walk out to the middle of the dance floor and Miguel grabs Bailey’s back and pulls her in so close that there is no room between the two and they start to move and sway their bodies to the music. Sarah and Mr. Wilkinson take this as their opportunity to go get Carina.

Miguel: you do know this dance is forbidden in some countries for being to sexual in nature!?

Bailey smiles: well thankfully it’s not forbidden in this one! (She leans in and kisses him as they dance around to the music.)

Back behind Miguel’s house we see Sarah and Mr. Wilkinson sneak around and see 6 guards in a circle around an unconscious Carina laying on the ground. Sarah motions for Wilkinson to go around to the other side so when they attack it will split them up.

As soon as he gets around to the other side they both rush in and attack the security guards. Sarah’s plan works as the guards scatter. Sarah takes a knife out and takes out 2 of the guards by cutting the main artery in their legs causing them to fall to the ground. Mr. Wilkinson was a little less unforgiving and pulled out his 9mm with silencer and shot the rest of the guards. Sarah gives him a look that causes him to respond.

Wilkinson: What? You try being undercover down here for 3 and a half years and see how you act!!

Sarah puts up her hands and agrees. She thought about what he just said and realized that all of her training and all of her missions has completely changed the person she use to be and it is putting a strain on the people she cares about the most. Bailey had somehow remained the same person, a good friend and great spy, Sarah was envious. She soon came to the conclusion that she had been a complete and total idiot for not trusting and sticking by her best friend again!
They walked over and picked up Carina, they had beaten her pretty bad. As soon as they came around the corner they saw Bailey dancing with Miguel and Casey standing behind the 2 men chuck flashed on.

Bailey looks over and sees Sarah standing there with Carina then shoots a look over to Casey; he nods his head and gets ready to act.

Bailey: you know what I love so much about this country?
Miguel: what is that my dear?

Bailey reaches down to her leg with her left hand and takes hold of Miguel’s wrist with her right.

Bailey: Taking down the people that think they can over run it!!


Before he could process what she said Bailey twists his wrist causing him to go to his knees then pulls out a gun with her other hand and puts it in his face! The other 2 men see this and turn to run away and run straight into Casey’s fists knocking them out cold.

Chuck walks over to help Sarah with Carina while Wilkinson goes over and arrests Velasquez.

Miguel: You 2 were very convincing I will give you that, but you will never stop the inevitable revolution of this country!!
Mr. Wilkinson: oh please shut up, I am so happy I don't have to listen to this anymore!!

He and Bailey laugh as he takes Miguel away to give him to the Mexican authorities.

Casey: where is Carina and Sarah?
Bailey: over there with Chuck, we need to get her to a hospital!

Casey runs over to help, by the time he gets to them an ambulance shows up and they put Carina inside.

Casey: well it looks like she won't be doing anything stupid or impulsive for a little while! (He grunts)

The ambulance leaves and they all turn around and head back to get Bailey and leave. As they get over to the party area they don't see her anywhere!

Chuck: where is she, she was just here?
Casey and Sarah have a serious look on there face.
Sarah: we need to get back to the hotel now!!

As they arrive back at the hotel Casey runs to the desk to see if Bailey had checked out, while Sarah and Chuck go to check the rooms.

Chuck: anything?
Sarah: no
Casey runs up from the lobby area.
Casey: they guy at the desk said she checked out and got into a cab 20 minutes ago.
Sarah: well we need to get to the airport to stop her!!
Casey: it’s too late I checked the last plane back to LA is leaving as we speak and won't be another one till in the morning!

They all hang their head as an empty and abandoned feeling comes over Chuck. He turns and looks at Sarah.

Chuck: I don't know how but I want you to fix this!!
Sarah: Chuck I??...
Chuck: No!! She is gone because of you so you need to figure out a way to make it better!

Sarah’s eyes are reflecting a hundred different emotions.

Casey: what is that?

They all look over at the table in the middle of the room and see an envelope sitting on it. Chuck walks over and picks it up.

Sarah: what does it say?
Chuck: I don't know its addressed to you!

Sarah eyes get wide as chuck hands her the envelope and she takes it from him and reads the note inside.

Sarah,

I am sorry but I cannot stay with the team any longer. My main and sole purpose for taking control of the operation was to protect Chuck! I see now that you and Casey have the situation well at hand and my cousin is being protected by the best the CIA and NSA have to offer. It is with much regret that I leave the team but I don't see any other solution if I cannot be trusted by its members. I will be giving control of the operation back to General Beckman and Director Graham, and have accepted new orders that must be carried out ASAP, but always remember that those we don't speak of will be watching as will I! Take care of my cousin and yourself, you are like a sister to me and even though we are having some issues right now and you tried to kill me I still love you and will always be here for you!

Bailey

P.S. Tell chuck... Its hard to say goodbye!

After Sarah reads the note a few tears fall from her eyes.
Chuck: what is it? Where is Bailey?
Sarah looks at Chuck and Casey.
Casey: spit it out Walker! Where is she?
Sarah: she’s gone!

Fade to black.
THE END!
