The scene opens with Sarah and Eduardo in a large King size bed! Sarah is awake and puts away the sleeping potion that she used earlier tonight. It was a combination of Restoril, Sonata, Doral and Klonopin, which each used by themselves are used for sleep disorders. In this combination it puts the subject out within minutes and they stay asleep for hours depending on the dosage. It was easy to place it into the wine glass that Eduardo was using, as he was caressing her body.
They had just gotten under the sheets, when the drug took effect. Sarah was a bit surprised that the drug had taken so long. She was not sure how much further she would have gone with Eduardo.
It hits her that before Chuck, she would never have given it a second though! After all, it is part of a spies job to get close and personal. Social engineering is how spies get most of their information.
She will have to wait till Eduardo wakes up, before she can leave the bed. If she is gone, he may suspect something. It was about 7:30am when he finally wakes up and Sarah acts like she is still asleep. He looks over at her and all of those lovely curves through the sheer sheet. He wants to wake her up and continue from last night, but there is work to be done.
He knows that he must prepare for tonight. The information about Ambassador Westendorp's daughter was correct, she did frequent the Bora Bora Club.
The plan was to find her and kidnap here asap! There was a vote coming up soon and they needed the leverage.
Once Eduardo leaves the room, Sarah gets up and starts putting on her cloths. She heads for the receiver hidden in the vent and goes over the data. There is nothing much new, that was not already on the last recording. She places the receiver back into the vent.
She takes a shower and puts on a white top, gold leaf earrings, black pants with black flats for shoes. She needs to find Chuck and talk to him about last night and a few other things. She heads out and grabs a taxi, as she dare not make any calls from the Villa.
Once she is away from the Villa, she starts calling the hotels looking for a Chuck or Crystal. She is sure that he would not use an alias, after all he is not really a spy. After about 15min she strikes gold, as Chuck Bartowski is listed on the register.
She goes to the hotel and bribes the bell hop for his room number. She goes to his door and knocks. A bit nervous not know what to expect from Chuck at this point, but she needed to at least try.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Panning to Chuck and Crystal in bed. There is a distant noise that is trying to break Chuck out of his sleep. His head is pounding, as he slowly opens his eyes. As he does, he see that he has his arms around Crystal. He slowly raises his head and sees that both of them are naked and cuddling in the middle of the bed.
He tries to remember last night but much of it, after he saw Sarah, is blank. The knocking on the door is getting louder and faster or is that just the pounding in his head. What had they done last night? I sure hope I did not make a fool out of myself last night, he is thinking. Well that is a given, but not with Crystal at least. The knock comes again.
Chuck slowly gets out of bed, trying to not disturb Crystal and wraps a blanket around his body. He goes to the door thinking that it must be for their breakfast, that they ordered yesterday. As he opens the door, he almost falls over.
Standing in the door is Sarah and she is frozen looking at Chuck. She can see that he is really hung over and she has never seen him this way before. She walks inside past Chuck, as she did not want him to turn her away. As she is walking in, Chuck turns and tries to grab her to keep her from coming in.
Chuck: Sarah Wait! ( it is too late, she is past him )
Sarah: ( she is still looking down and walking in ) Chuck we need to talk. I know that you saw me last night and I just wanted to explain.
Suddenly Sarah looks up and sees Crystal in the bed. Song in background is http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GZV8MPxxgkE . She had waken up when Chuck had yelled for Sarah to stop. She sat up in the bed exposing her vivacious form. She did not move to cover up, as that is not her way.
Sarah was not expecting this at all, especially from Chuck. She was just stunned and did not really know what to say. She caught herself and regrouped her thoughts. How could he have done this? Well, that was not a hard question to answer, but surely he understood that she was undercover!
Chuck was as stunned as Sarah when Crystal sat up. He had a thousand thoughts going through his head, all at once. What did they do last night, he could not remember anything past walking towards the Hotel? How was he going to explain this to Sarah. Wait, she was kissing some other guy last night, so why should he have to explain anything! Let her think what she wanted. Nope that is a bad idea, because he loved her and that would be wrong.
Sarah: Well, I guess we don't have as much to talk about after all!
Chuck: Listen Sarah, we got a little drunk after I saw you with that guy last night! Why am I having to explain myself, I saw how you kiss him last night and that was no simple kiss!
Sarah: You know why I was with him Chuck! After all it was your fault to begin with!
Chuck: My fault! What are you talking about? I did not force you to go out with him!
Crystal gets up and starts to put her cloths on. Sarah cannot help but notice that she is lean, healthy and beautiful to boot. She knew all to well that no man could resist a woman like that. After all she had used her own physical beauty to get men to do what she wanted on multiple occasions. She motions for Chuck to follow her to the next room and he follows.
Sarah: ( whispering ) Your the one that sent me away Chuck! What did you think? That they would let me just sit around! I kissed him because that is what the job required, so don't blame me for what you caused!
Chuck was taken back by what she had said. It was all true but he never thought that he would be there while she was on an assignment. She could see that he understood what she was saying. He could not bring his eyes up to meet hers.
Chuck: Sarah, I never though that I would actually have to see you while you were working. I am sorry for that but I felt that it was for the best. I know that you needed more excitement than just guarding me! I also want you to know that I don't think anything happened between Crystal and me. We got so drunk after I saw you and she was there for me.
Sarah: YOU DON'T THINK! ( then lowers her voice ) Chuck, I don't know what to say. I am just disappointed.
Chuck: Why? I have been trying to have a relationship with you for a long time now! It was you that would not, because of the job. Why shouldn't I be with someone, since you don't want to be with me!
Sarah: I never said that I didn't want to be with you! I just needed to do my job or you could end up dying!
Chuck: Dying is the least of my worries! There are things worse than dying! Okay well dying is not good that is for sure. Still I wanted you and you just kept pushing me away. What did you expect would happen?
Sarah: I don't know what I expected Chuck. ( knowing that he was telling the truth )
Crystal is dressed now and stepped out waiting for Sarah to come out. She did not want to confront her with Chuck inside. Sarah sees that her talk with Chuck was not going any further, so she walks towards the door. Chuck just stands there as she walks out, not knowing what else he can do.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sarah is out and walking down towards the beach when she sees Crystal waiting for her. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xp9852hq0W0&feature=related Oh Great! Now what does she want. They are on the beach in a secluded spot, when she reaches Crystal.
Crystal: You know you hurt him last night don't you? How could you be with another man so soon after leaving Chuck!
Sarah: It is not really any of your business! What happens between Chuck and I are for us to worry about.
Crystal: He is my friend and I don't like people screwing with my friends head. He is in love with you and last night about crushed him! I am the one that had to help him through it.
Sarah: Well I am sure that it was not that big of a deal for you! Taking advantage of a drunk!
Crystal: I did not take advantage of him WINCH! I could have done that even without drinking, but I don't do that to friends. If you cannot commit to a real man, then why don't you go back to the hole you came out of!
Sarah: Your about to piss me off lady and you wont like me when you do!
Crystal: Bring it on blonde! I will rip your arm off and beat some sense into that air head of yours!
You see Sarah move forward and before she knew it, Crystal had landed a round house kick to the shoulder, knocking her to the ground. Sarah had underestimated her, but she would not make that mistake a second time.
You see Sarah and Crystal trading punches and kicks for about 28 minutes till they are both tired. Sarah has a new respect for Crystal, but she still did not like her.
The are setting down now and still looking at each other. Crystal is the first to speak, as she has no problem saying what is on her mind.
Crystal: Why do you hurt Chuck like that? He is a really good guy, a bit naïve, but a good guy.
Sarah: I didn't mean to hurt him! I had no idea that you two were even here! Besides it was Chuck that sent me away, not the other way around.
Crystal: Yea, we talked about it and he had some dumb notions at times. Like I said naïve. Still he loves you a great deal and I just don't see you as one willing to commit. I can see that you care about him but men need more than that! They need to be shown, not just talk about it!
Sarah: I am working on it! Everyone has advice, but no one sees my side of it!
Crystal: them tell me!
Sarah gets up and looks at Crystal. She would love to tell someone but she cannot. How do you explain that you work for the CIA and Chuck is the intersect? Just cannot be done.
Sarah: I wish I could, but it is complicated. BTW, you had some nice moves there. Where did you train?
Crystal: Well, I have been taking Aikido since I was a little girl and it keeps me in shape. I also have been taking Wing Chun for about 3 years now as well. It keeps me busy and it comes in handy when dating, that is for sure. ( smiles )
Sarah: Does Chuck know?
Crystal: No, with Chuck he is a perfect gentleman. No need, besides he is the one that has turned me down. Maybe if I put him in a choke hold he will submit? ( laughs )
Sarah: I sure hope not. Thanks for the little “chat”. I have a feeling that I will be seeing you around.
Crystal: Yea, I wont be going anywhere soon. Cya, but try not to keep hurting him. Next time I wont go so easy on you. ( smiles )
Sarah: Me either. ( smiles back and walks away )
Neither Sarah or Crystal notice that Chuck had been watching them the whole time. He was worried that one of them would get hurt.After watching them, it would have been him that would have gotten hurt!
As he starts to turn around he sees something out of the corner of his eye. He tries to carefully walk around the corner and sees Bryce setting in a chair on the balcony. He has grown out his hair and sporting a beard, but Chuck would know it anywhere. Chuck just stares closing his eyes to see if it is an illusion, but nope it is him alright.
Chuck: What the heck are you doing here? Shouldn't you be off shooting somebody or something?
Bryce: Yea, but do you want to be the one I shoot?
Chuck: Hum, do I get a head start? ( laughs ) So what are you doing here?
Bryce: I am here to be your guardian, while you are playing around. Seems they don't want too many people knowing about you still.
Chuck: Come on Bryce, you are here for a reason! So what do you really want?
Bryce: Seems that I could use a bit of help from you Chuck. There are so many directions and I need your help to smoke them out. You alone have the information in that brain of yours.
Chuck: So Beckman and Graham are ok with this? I still have not heard back if Casey or Sarah will want to come back!
Bryce: Well I am betting that Casey could not wait to get away. Sarah may come back but do you want her in harms way with Fulcrum so close Chuck?
Chuck: You know that is not fair Bryce! That is just a cheep shot, because you know I care about Sarah.
Bryce: Life is not fair Chuck! I would think that you of all people would know that. I tell you want, you think about it and when your ready, you let me know.
Chuck: How would I get in contact with you?
Bryce: Don't worry, I will be around. I had better go before you new mate comes in. BTW is she available?
Chuck: Don't even think about it. She is a friend and I will tell her all about you if you try!
Bryce: No problem, relax! I was just yanking your chain.
Chuck hears the door start to open and turns to look. When he turns back Bryce is gone. He looks around but has no clue where he went. Well, I guess they don't call them spooks for nothing.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The scene opens with Casey and Cathernia meeting up on the beach. They go snorkeling and are really enjoying their time together. As they are snorkeling, a hammerhead shark gets a bit close and Casey raps it on the nose. It circles them a few times then swims off.
At this point, Cathernia is much calmer than Casey would have expected. Most people would have been terrified of a shark. This set Casey's bells to ringing, there must be more to her than he realizes. As they leave the water, he starts scanning the beach. He sees a man watching them and he can tell that he must be a bodyguard.
They are drying themselves in the sun and Casey puts suntan lotion on her body. She is a golden tan, as would be someone that spends all of her time in the sun. Her skin is smooth and electrifying to the touch.
They cook there in the sun for a little while, until Cathernia sits up. She is looking Casey over and is waiting for him to say something. He doesn't realize that she is waiting on him to make a move on her. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jvt8puRC0Qw starts playing in the background!
Cathernia: I am bored, how about we rent some wave runners and get out of here?
Casey: That sound like a lot of fun! Sorry, I did not take you for the adventurous type. I mean that, well... ( trying to get his foot out of his mouth)
Cathernia: I am a lot of things you have not figured out yet. ( with a seductive smile)
Casey: Well then! I am looking forward to finding out. Race you to the rental hut!
The both jump up and run down toward the hut. As Casey is about to take the lead, she pushes him into a surfboard. She is laughing, as she reaches the hut and so is Casey. He is surprised that a woman of her beauty, grace and obvious elegance would be this much fun!
He gets up and dusts himself off and walks down to the hut. They rent the wave runners and as they are walking to them she looks over at Casey.
Cathernia: You know now that you lost, you owe me. ( smiling with her head tilted )
Casey: Sure whatever you want. So what do I owe you?
Cathernia: I will take my prize later tonight! I am sure that you will be up for the challenge. ( smiles and looks away )
Casey laughs and thinks that the day just keeps getting better. They play on the wave runners, jumping waves and spinning around playing tag. After some time, they play some beach volleyball and win quite easily.
They are having such a great time that Casey doesn't want it to end. He also feels comfortable with Cathernia. Her smile and the way she looks at him.
The sun was hot and they take a break. Going to the covered hut/bar, they ordered some water and sat down for a rest. Cathernia looks like she is ready to go in. She gets up and motions for Casey to follow and they head back to the hotel. He walks her to her room and then gives her a kiss and starts to walk away.
Cathernia: Oh no you don't, you have to pay off your debt! ( smiling )
Casey was not expecting this and it is clearly visible in his eyes. He doesn't have to be told twice and lets her pull him into her room. She has a massive suite and faces the beach. It is a spectaculars view of the ocean overlooking the sunset. He takes another drink of his water and is following her queues.
She starts walking towards the bathroom. As she is walking closer to the bathroom, she starts removing her clothing. Casey is watching her and she knows it.
Cathernia: Well, don't just stand there! I need you to help me wash my back. ( giving a quick glance over her shoulder )
Casey: Well you have got the right man for the job!
Casey follows her into the shower and the camera pans back and fades to black. Some hours later you see Casey and Cathernia getting dressed to go out. They are definitely a couple, as you can see it in their eyes.
Casey thinks to himself, this is what Chuck and Sarah must feel like. Well they would if Sarah would have let them. He feels sad for them all of a sudden. He knows how hard it is to find someone in this day and time.
As they are eating in the restaurant, they are engaged in small talk trying to get to know each other much better. Casey is really enjoying this, but something is nagging at him in the back of his mind.
Several hours later, they decide to go out dancing again. They really enjoyed last night at Bora Bora and decide to hit the club again. Little did Casey know that his great day was about to change!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The scene starts at the Bora Bora. We see Eduardo enter with Sarah and move towards the back near the exit. The table was also in view of people entering the door. Sarah noticed that the men at the Villa was also in the club tonight.
All were taking up positions, Sarah realizes that it was going down tonight. She had to take a chance and get Agent Carlos now. She excused herself so that she may go to the ladies room. She calls Agent Carlos, but it is going instantly to voice mail. She leaves him a message stating that Eduardo and his men are going to try whatever they have planned tonight!
She is trying to think how to control the situation. She quickly sends a text message to Casey. She had not tried to contact him yet, as she did not think Eduardo would move this fast. They had just been here last night!
There was only one other person that she could contact. After a second she rules out that, he may make some type of heroic jester and cause an even bigger problem. Besides after their latest conversation, She did not know if he would show up anyway! She would have to hope that Casey gets her text message!
She leaves the ladies room and heads back to the table. As she gets there she freezes as Chuck and Crystal enter the Club. OH Great! Now I have to worry about Chuck getting involved now, she is thinking. Background you hear http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CVnSGXvYK20&feature=related
As Chuck and Crystal enter the club, they head for a table that is open next to the dance floor. Chuck doesn't see Sarah, but Crystal does. She looks over at her with a deadly stare! She did not let on to Chuck that Sarah was there. They got the table and ordered a margarita and sex on the beach.
As the waiter brought the drink they lifted their glasses and cheers.
Chuck: To a full and great night with a beautiful woman and great friend!
Crystal: And to a handsome and goofy guy!
Chuck: I will drink to that!
They both take a big drink and start laughing. Chuck is thinking that this is going to be a great night no matter what! He is not going to let anything bother him tonight and just live for the moment. The band starts playing http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FhAlIN8QqEg and it makes so much sense to Chuck right now. How much he has learned from his Friends/teachers. Even Crystal has been teaching Chuck how to live a little and not take life too seriously! Now did they teach him well or is he unteachable was the real question.
Chuck and Crystal go out and dance to the music. They are having a good time and Chuck is letting loose. Sarah is watching and is amazed at Chuck. He is not stiff and self conscience like when he took her on their first date. This is great she is thinking, then she realize that he is with Crystal and not her.
Crystal has been positioning Chucks back to Sarah, so that it doesn't ruin their night. She sees that Sarah is watching and has a surprised look on her face as she is watching Chuck. This brings a smile to her lips and she doesn't like her very much at this point! She has a smile on her face and she will be pushing Sarah's buttons all night tonight if she has her way.
Crystal starts dancing closer to Chuck and puts her hands around his neck. They are really getting into the song and dance. Chuck is not even really aware what Crystal is doing. He is just having a good time and letting loose.
He is having a blast and they dance song after song for at least 45 minutes.
Sarah is not enjoying this at all. She does dance a few times with Eduardo but Chuck has not been looking around. He seems to be happy with just being with Crystal. This is more than a bit annoying to Sarah and Eduardo noticed as well. He starts looking around for who she is looking at.
Sarah stops as she notices the change in Eduardo. She takes a drink from here wine. She also mentally checks for Agent Carlos. She is glad that Casey has not arrived tonight and is hoping that he doesn't. Eduardo notices Chuck as she looks in his direction before she can catch herself.
Eduardo: Is there something that you want to tell me?
Sarah: No not really. It is just an old boyfriend that I was not expect to see here.
Eduardo: I am sorry to hear that, but his loss is my gain. ( smiles )
Sarah: Thanks for the compliment. ( smiles back )
She leans in and kisses him on the lips. It is a short kiss, but she knows that he enjoyed it. Knowing that it was now settled, she started casing how she would get Casey and Cathernia out of here when the trouble starts. She noticed that the upstairs also had an exit door. There was only one of Eduardo's men stationed upstairs and should be easier to get everyone out that way.
As Sarah is completing the escape route, she sees Eduardo tense up. As she slowly looks towards the door she sees Casey. If Casey is here then the lady he was with yesterday is also here. It still puts a smile on her lips to think of Casey with a woman. It has been months and the only woman that she has seen him with was Ilsa.
Sarah is watching Eduardo for any hints as to when they will move. Eduardo is casing the room again looking for any issues, just like Sarah or Casey would do. He has already counted the bouncers and there seems to be two men trailing Casey and his lady friend. She is sure that Casey would have spotted them long ago.
Just after Casey and Cathernia had entered Bora Bora, his cell phone starts beeping. He starts to ignore it as he is on vacation, but something deep inside tells him to look at it.
As he pulls it out and looks at the text, he sees that it came from Sarah. He immediately puts up all of his defences! He starts slowly casing the club, as he reads the message. She had listed how many men were there and that they were after the woman he was with.
He is cursing the Mexican phone company for not getting this message to him earlier. If they had, he would not be in this situation now! He finished the message and stayed close to Cathernia. If they tried to leave now it would tip off the ETA and they may become desperate and get more people killed.
Sarah had mentioned to take a table close the the upstairs, so he maneuvered her to a spot very close to it. As he was scanning he spotted Sarah and the man she was with. He had also spotted most of the rest of them as they were either not dancing or watching them off and on.
He expected that Sarah would know where the rest are and should be able to pull this off. There was nothing more to do, till they made their move! Then he would finally get his gunplay, while saving his lady at the same time.
They ordered drinks and were listening to the music when he turned and spotted Chuck coming out of the bathroom.
Casey: OH Great, just what I needed to see!
Cathernia: What? I don't understand is there something wrong.
Casey: Just someone that I was not expecting to run into for a while.
Cathernia is looking around for whom Casey is talking about. She spots Chuck and Crystal. She believes that the person that he is talking about is the lady and has no idea that he is actually talking about Chuck. She feels a bit of concern that Casey may like this lady as well as her. She unconsciously moves closer to Casey.
Casey feels Cathernia put her arm through his. His attention is distracted, as he puts his arm around her hips. As he is looking at her, she moves slowly to his lips. She gently kisses his lips and pulls away teasing/taunting him to move to her.
He cannot help but to follow her lips, as she tastes like wild berries but sweet and strong all at the same time. As he moves closer she leans back in and they kiss with the passion of promised lovers. Time seems to stand still for John, as he has completely forgotten about the danger they are in.
As soon as they part, he stares into her eyes seeing the fire of her passion. If they make it though this night, he will see where this relationship can go. He will not waste the moment, like Sarah has with Chuck so many times. Life is short and wasting the possibility of true love will not go wasted again.
Just when Casey thought that everything was going well, Chuck spots him in the crowd. This was about the worst thing that could happen. He sees Chuck looking at him trying to decide if he should come over or not. Casey knows that he cannot leave Cathernia or they would attack her. He just gives a nod 'NO” and hopes that he understands. It seems to have worked as Chuck starts to look around.
Casey also knows that this is even worse if he spots Sarah. He doesn't know what he may do. Surely he realizes that she must be on assignment! No , he thinks, we are talking about Chuck here and he doesn't think as an agent would. Casey can only hope that he doesn't cause more trouble than usual.
Crystal notices that Chuck is looking around and knows that he will see her soon. She braces for it as Chuck was feeling pretty bad the last time he saw her with this man. She knows that he is still in love with her, but she just doesn't want her friend to get hurt again. Suddenly Chuck stops moving and takes a long deep drink of his margarita and just stares at Sarah. She is not looking back at him yet.
Chuck is not sure what to do now that he sees Sarah. With Casey, it could not just be a coincidence? They must be on an assignment, but Casey was supposed to take two weeks off. Well I guess he decided to get reassigned as well, Chuck is thinking. So much for Team Chuck, I guess it was a good thing that Bryce is his contact here in Mexico. Maybe it is time to take him up on his offer.
Chuck decides that he will take Crystal back to LA and then head out with Bryce. He must take care of her, as she has been more than a good friend. She has shown that she is a true friend and they are very hard to come by. They may have known each other for a short time, but she is as true a friend as Morgan is. He laughs to himself that he put Crystal and Morgan in the same sentence! They are complete opposites, she is reliable and mature where he is still a child and usually the one that gets into trouble.
Well after the display that Sarah and Crystal had earlier, he knows that she can take care of herself and him if need be. He was very taken back how evenly matched she was against Sarah! He is sure that they did not see him watching them fight!
If Sarah is on assignment, then it would not be good if he went over there. So he just takes another drink and asks Crystal to dance to the next song, when it comes on. He is there to have a good time, though in the back of his mind he will help if there is a need.
Sarah dares not look at Casey and Eduardo is scanning the room looking for his moment to attack. The Band takes a break and they place on some music for everyone to dance to. The song http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SU6GoNrALvM&feature=related begins to play. All hell is about to break loose and the mood from the song triggers something deep inside of each of our heros.
As Eduardo sees the bodyguards head out side to take care of a drunken man, he signals for his men to advance. Everything from this point on happens like a dream.
Happening in slow motion, but very much alive and deadly as any situation they have ever been in before. In all there were 12 men, besides Eduardo, that start moving all at once.
Sarah immediately snaps into action by signaling Casey. She waits for the right time to engage the man coming up directly behind her. Just as the man steps into range, she grabs the wine bottle and smashes it across his head. Eduardo is about to turn around when he notices Casey pulling out his gun and aiming it in his direction. He dives for the side and a shot rang out and one of his men was struck directly in the chest.
Sarah, pulls out a knife and throws it at a man just about to shoot Casey from behind to the left. It strikes the man in the neck and as it hits she does a spinning wheel kick to another mans face that was advancing upon her.
Casey shoots another man in the shoulder and a third in the knee. There are still 7 men including Eduardo left. He has pushed over the table and has Cathernia behind him and in the corner. He fires more shots but the rest of them have taken cover.
Chuck is in the middle of the dance floor, with Crystal, when the fight breaks out. He sees Sarah and Casey in action. As the 3rd man hits the floor, he pushes Crystal off the dance floor and behind a few tables, that have been turned over by people trying to get out. Just as he was getting Crystal behind the tables, he grabs a beer bottle and hits the nearest man over the head. Chuck is amazed that it actually worked and the man was out cold.
Crystal saw Chuck jump into the fight and was not about to be out done by him! She grabs a broken chair leg and proceeds to beat the crap out of another of the men that was on the other side of the tables. Using the leg like a boa, she is able to easily defend against his kicks and punches. Hearing one of her strikes break clean though the thigh bone, she then puts a knee to his face as he was going down. Then she threw the leg with amazing accuracy at another man about to take a shot at Sarah. The rest of the men were too far away and now shooting at Chuck and Crystal as well as Casey and Sarah.
There were 4 men left and one was still Eduardo, which was extremely pissed by this point. There was the man upstairs that had both Casey and Sarah pinned down. The other 2 men were behind the bar, but well covered and no way to get to them without getting shot at this point. Eduardo was the one that was close to Sarah.
As Chuck had been watching Crystal and enjoying her kick some butt, he looks back to Sarah and Casey. Chuck could see that Eduardo was positioning himself to try and take out either Casey or Sarah. There was not much he could do with the man upstairs, which was keeping them all pinned down. Chuck looked down and saw the gun belonging to the man he had hit with the beer bottle.
Hating to even thing about it, he was worried more for Sarah and Casey than his disdain for guns. He reached down and picked it up. In his mind, there was something that told him that all he needed to do was point and squeeze the trigger to hit his target. He had done this a million times in COD, but this was for real! There was no need to do anything anyway.
Crystal watched as Chuck picks up the gun and starts to move toward him as she knew he hated firearms. He had said so on many occasions, during their talks. Just as she got next to him, he was just holding it, so she did not worry as much.
At this time Bryce hears all of the gunfire and has been running to the Club. As he is trying to enter, he sees the remaining 4 gunmen. He is waiting for a distraction, to take out the two behind the bar. Bryce sees them turn their attention to someone over in the corner and starts to enter the club. As Bryce is entering the club about to take out the two men behind the bar, Chuck sees Eduardo start to aim his gun at Sarah!
At that exact time, Bryce starts shooting at the two men. Sarah sees Chuck stand up and point his gun at someone! Before she can look away, she sees him fire the gun. She hears several shots but only saw Chuck fire once.
Sarah looks to where Chuck had shot and sees that he has shot Eduardo directly in the chest! Eduardo's gun was pointing in Sarah's direction, so she assumes that he was going to shoot her. As she looks back, she sees Chuck fall down as well!
Crystal was unaware that Chuck had even stood up, as she was watching someone come crashing threw the door and shoot at the two men behind the bar. They turn to the new threat, Bryce nails both of them with 4 shots. That leaves only one left. Casey dives out and as he is rolling he shoots at the remaining man upstairs.
Crystal turns to look at Chuck and sees him fall to the ground! What had he done? She runs to him and another shot rings out but hits right beside her. She doesn't even look where it came from,as she is more focused on Chuck!
Sarah looks up and throws another knife directly into the remaining man's chest, instantly dropping him where he stood. She turns and runs to Chuck as Crystal is already there.
Casey also sees Chuck on the ground, but knows that both Sarah and Crystal are looking over him. He makes sure that there are no more threats before turning to Cathernia. He reaches over and checks to make sure that she is not hurt. She grabs him tightly and holds him close! She is clearly shaken by what has happened. She looks at all of the people lying around and then back to Casey.
Cathernia: What just happened John? Why were they shooting at us?
Casey: They were after you. It was an attempt by the ETA to kidnap you I believe.
Cathernia: How would you know that? Why would they want to kidnap me?
Casey: I received a text message, just before everything happened. It was from a friend. It seems that they needed you for something, I don't know what. It had something to do with your family. That is all that I was told. I am just glad that I your not hurt!
Cathernia: I think one of your friend's are hurt!
Casey looks back and sees that Chuck is still lying on the floor. He heads over to see how bad it is. He was a bit worried now, since Chuck was still lying on the ground. As he gets to Chuck, he can see that there is a pool of blood underneath of him!
Sarah and Crystal had already put pressure on the wound and were checking how much damage it had done to Chuck. There was an entrance and exit wound though the shoulder just below the collarbone. It looked like it did not hit any bones but he was bleeding pretty badly.
They grabbed him and headed to the hospital. They knew that time mattered or Chuck might bleed to death. He was lucky that it did not look like any vital organs had been hit, but it would hurt for a little while!
Well Chuck stepped up again when it came to Sarah, Casey was thinking. For a nerd, he was willing to die for the one he loved. He just hoped that Sarah would come around soon. Little did he realize that she already had!
Bryce was watching from the door. He saw that Casey and Sarah had it under control now. He slipped out the door as Agent Carlos was entering.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As they were taking Chuck to the hospital, he regained conscience and saw Sarah there?
Chuck: Did I die?
Sarah: No, you just got shot. You will be fine Chuck, I promise!
Chuck: It is ok Sarah. I am just glad that you are fine!
Chuck: WAIT, Where is Crystal!!
Crystal: I'm here Chuck! Everyone is ok. Just try and relax.
Chuck: Thanks Crystal, I am sorry that I got you involved in all of this.
Crystal: Well I was not going to let you have all of the fun! ( smiling)
Chuck: It was fun, up till I got shot! And I thought it hurt with a bulletproof vest on.
Crystal: Huh?
Sarah: Try to rest Chuck, we are almost to the Hospital! You should have kept out of it!
Chuck: I could not just let him shoot you Sarah. I still love you and I always well. Promise me something Sarah.
Sarah: Sure, what is it?
Chuck: Take care of Crystal, like you have me! She is a true friend and I don't have many of them. If anything happens to me, make sure she gets home safely and look in on her for me. Promise!
Sarah: I promise Chuck. Any friend of yours is a friend of mine. Ok all but Morgan, sorry he is a bit more than I can handle. ( laughing but clearly tears in her eyes )
Chuck: Well Casey can discuss sandwiches with him. ( laughing, then coughing)
Casey: ( grunts ) Sure Chuck, but I will shoot him after that. So you had better worry about getting better fast.
Crystal sees that her suspicion about Sarah was correct. She did love him and just needed some prodding. She was still mad at the way she left Chuck out to dry, wondering about her feelings. They would have to put the past behind them for Chucks sake!
As they arrive at the Hospital, he is taken into surgery. The doctors tell them that he has lost a lot of blood, but he should make it. Sarah and Crystal stay in the waiting room, as Casey takes Cathernia back. They all have been talking for over an hour. There is nothing more that any of them can do for Chuck, as he needs his rest.
The taxi pulls up to the Hotel and Casey and Cathernia get out. He walks her into the lobby and is expecting that she is ready to retire. As he is biding her good night, she doesn't let go of his hand.
Cathernia: John, I know it has been a tough night on you with your friend getting shot and all, but would you mind staying with me tonight? I don't want to be alone. I would understand if you wanted to just leave. After all it was because of me he was shot.
Casey: Don't blame yourself for what happened! Chuck could have played it safe but that is not who he is. He is a pain in the butt that way. ( causing Casey to give a appreciative grunt)
Casey: I would be honored to stay with you, If you are sure that is what you want? I know tonight was pretty hard on you as well. I am just glad that you are fine.
Cathernia: I think you know that I like you John. I gave you enough hints after all! ( smiles )
She pulls him towards the elevator and they go to her suite. He starts to make up the couch and gets comfortable,while she is in the bathroom. She comes out with a black nightgown. She is about the most beautiful woman that he has ever dated.
He is watching her walk towards him and he starts to say something just as she reaches him. She puts her finger over his mouth and pulls him up. As he stands she kisses him passionately! He returns the kiss and they slowly move towards the bed.
She take off his cloths slowly and with anticipation, as each piece drops to the floor. They reach the bed and the last thing that you see fall to the floor, is her nightgown. The view slowly fades to black.
The next day, Chuck is finally awake and they allow Sarah to go in and see him. As she enters the room, she has tears in her eyes. It is hard for her to see him lying in bed like that.
Chuck: Please don't do that Sarah! You are the strong one out of this group. Besides, I didn't have to stand up like this.
Sarah: Oh shut up mister! ( smiling ) Not like you ever listen anyway. Chuck I need to ask you a question, if you don't mind.
Chuck: ( a bit surprised by the request ) Sure Sarah, you can ask me anything.
Sarah: I need to know why you had me reassigned and I was not given the option to stay! I though I deserved to at least make my own decision, like you gave Casey.
Chuck: Because I felt that I was holding you back! Also I wanted a relationship and you were just there for the job. I could not take the heartache you were causing me Sarah! You know that I love you and I would wait forever, if I though that you would come around! But after the Marco incident, I realized that I didn't have forever to wait! You had to make up your own mind and the only way you could do that was away from me.
Sarah: I am a big girl Chuck and you know that I needed to protect you!
Chuck: But you were killing me, just as surely as any Fulcrum agent Sarah! After Jill, I thought I would never want to find love again, but you changed all of that for me. Now, I would rather have your love for one day and if I died after that it would be worth the price! Dying of a broken heart is much worse than anything Fulcrum could do to me!
Sarah: Chuck I do have strong feelings for you! I want to show you how I feel, but if anything happened to you, I don't know what I would do. It was hard enough when I though that I lost Bryce, but if I lose you then I don't think I would be able to recover this time!
Chuck: But don't you get it Sarah! You already lost me, when you refused to be with me. Some things in life need to come before the job!

Sarah doesn't know what more to say to Chuck. She cannot convince him that she loves him right now. Maybe later when he is out of the Hospital and back in LA. She will find a way to get back there and then they can have another talk.
She leans down and kisses Chuck on the lips. She put as much passion and love into the kiss, just like the time she though they were going to be blown to bits. Chuck is startled at first, then lets himself get lost in the kiss. When they finish she just looks into his eyes.
Sarah: This time it was not a mistake! Now take care and I will see you again tomorrow.
Chuck: Remember your promise Sarah. Remember that I love you and always will!
Sarah is a bit taken back by his words. What is it that he is not telling her? She stops for a long moment with a questioning look on her face. Chuck returns the look and she knows there is something that he is not telling her. As she starts to walk back to him. He lays back down.
Chuck: I am tired, do you mind sending Crystal in please, so that I get some sleep soon.
Sarah: Sure and I remember the promise.
She walks out and lets Crystal know that Chuck wants to see her. She then leaves to go to the Villa and retrieve her belongings. She wonders what Chuck and Crystal talked about and knows that she will have to become friends with her. After thinking about it for a while, the realization that Crystal would also put her life on the line for Chuck as well.
She believes she understands why Chuck likes her so much. Crystal has been kind to him and understanding. She has also not held back, when they discuss any issue. Sarah knows that sooner or later she will have to let Chuck into her real life. It has been so long since she has done that.
Crystal walks into the room and sits down on the bed next to him. He is sad and trying to find the words to say to her.
Chuck: I am very very sorry that you almost got killed last night! It is inexcusable and I would understand if you did not want to hang around with me in the future.
Crystal: Listen Chuck! It was not like you planned it. I saw Sarah when we came in and could have just asked you to leave then. Besides, it was fun in a suicidal kind of way. Not something that I would want to do again any time soon! Besides what type of friend would I be if I ran at the first sign of trouble. Maybe the second or third time but not the first. ( laughs )
Chuck: Well if you stick around there may be a second or third. ( laughs )
Crystal: well try and space them out please. I need a rest after this last one.
Chuck: I will do my best. One more thing, I hope you can get along with Sarah. As you know I still love her and I would like my good friend to get along with her, if we ever get back together. It was not all her fault! I did send her away, you know like the proverb?
Crystal: ( realizing what Chuck had done) You are an idiot when it comes to women I see! That is just a saying, and women don't take kindly to being sent away! I guess I have some teaching to do!
Chuck: Well, I will try and be a good student. ( wide smile on his face )
Crystal sees that he is slowly falling asleep and leaves it at that. She will be back later to check up on him.
Crystal: I will be back to see you later. You get some sleep now.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
She leaves and a man in a janitor's outfit is moping the floors outside. When she goes out the second set of doors, the man stops moping and walks into Chucks room.
Chuck has been waiting for him, as he figured that he had not gone far. Just as the man gets half way to Chuck you hear.
Chuck: Hi Bryce. I was wondering when you would show up. ( still with closed eyes )
Bryce: ( bit surprised) Wow Chuck, I am impressed! You do know why I am here then?
Chuck: Yes, I will help you with your assignment. I figure that if I am with you, then Sarah and Casey will be safer. Besides the only way for Sarah and I to have any type of relationship, is if we take down Fulcrum.
Bryce: I am glad that you will help Chuck, but that doesn't mean that you and Sarah will be able to have a relationship! There are no guarantees as to what will happen in that department.
Chuck: It is the only shot that I see we have. If not then I did everything that I can to be with her. Ok enough of that, when do we leave?
Bryce: We will leave within the hour. I have arranged for Crystals boat to be sailed back to LA and a ticket will be delivered to her. She will be escorted to the airport. Sarah and Casey will be temporarily reassigned till we get back.
Chuck: That is IF we get back you mean!!
Bryce: Well that is not a guarantee either, I wish I could say different, but then I would be lying to you. I have done enough of that already. I am not saying that it may not happen again in the future, but if it does then it is for a very good reason.
Chuck: OK, then we leave in the hour. I have already said all of my goodbye's, but we will be back in time for Elle's wedding! I will not miss her wedding no matter what?
Bryce: If we are alive, you will make her wedding. That much I can promise.
Chuck: Then let's get this over with.
Bryce helps Chuck get up and get his cloths on. They walk out of the Hospital and into the daylight. The staff had no clue what had just happened.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Some time later Both Crystal and Sarah come back to the Hospital to see Chuck. It was Sarah's idea to pick up Crystal, so that they would both be there. She was trying to show Chuck that she would be friends with her. This would help her convince him that she wanted to work out their problems.
When they arrived it was a short walk to Chucks room. The problem was that the bed was made and no Chuck! Sarah and Crystal talked to the staff asking where Chuck had been moved to. They were informed that he had checked himself out. Both Sarah and Crystal looked at each other and headed for the door.
When they got back to Crystal's hotel, all of Chucks stuff was gone. There was someone there waiting for them. He told Crystal and Sarah that Chuck had disappeared and that they were to leave Mexico now. He handed them both tickets and told them he would wait for them to pack. He would be driving them to the Airport and see them off.
As they got the airport, the man followed them to their plane. Crystal said that she had a boat and will just sail it back. He informed her that the boat was already on it's way back to LA. The plane boarded and they were sitting on the plane next to each other. As the plane took off Sarah and Crystal started talking.
Crystal: I will head back as soon as we land. I am not leaving Chuck in Mexico!
Sarah: I don't think that he is in Mexico any more! I will talk to my company and get some people on finding him right away. Please be patient, till I have a chance to check this out!
Crystal: how can you be so calm!?
Sarah: Calm! I am so furious that I could just tear someone's head off! But going back to Mexico would not help right now. We need to find out what is going on first, then rip their heads off.
Crystal: OK , but you had better keep me in the loop! I don't like it, not knowing what happened to Chuck! I will find him, that you can count on.
Sarah: I agree with you on this one! I will find out what happened and whomever did this had better watch out!
The scene fades to black as you pan out from the airplane.
End Say you will.
