Christmas time was here and the Buy More was going crazy with customers finding the perfect gift.

Chuck though on the other hand, was looking outside at the Weinerlicious, worried about you, wondering how you were doing if Sarah did leave and if you were alone there right now at work. He knew that you and Sarah were actually becoming pretty close. Chuck was too but there was more of a bond between you two for sure.

Chuck was so focused, he did not see Casey come up behind him.

"Decided to take up bird watching?" Casey asked sarcastically.

" Just breathing in the view."

Casey just grunted.

"I know that grunt. Yeah, that's the number seven, right? Skeptical with a side of cynicism." Chuck said turning around to look at him.

"Just clearing my throat."

"Look I'm just worried about Y/N over there okay? Is it so wrong to worry about my girlfriend?"

"Why would you be worried?"

"Well her and Sarah were becoming rather close and if Sarah does leave I know she is going to be upset. She told me she would be okay but I have known her since we were kids. She will be upset. Did you talk to Sarah at all?"

"Agent Walker and I don't do a lot of fraternizing off hours. Guess we'll just have to see."

"See... See what... what-what... See what?"

" See if she's had enough of the good life here with Y/N and you. See if she's hightailed it to wherever your buddy Bryce is hiding himself."

"Is that, uh, is that an option?"

"Oh, don't worry. I hear there's a great selection of new handlers in this year's CIA Christmas catalogue. Could be your Christmas gift to Y/N." Casey said sarcastically once again as he walked away.

"Are there? Thanks a lot." Chuck said glaring at him.

"She's a liar, not to be trusted." Morgan said , coming up beside Chuck.

" What's that?" Chuck asked him, confused.

" Women. Man, they're so elusive, so unknowable. Okay, they wrap you in this wool sweater of lies and it keeps you warm, but it makes your neck all itchy."

" Who-Who are we talking about exactly?"

" Anna. And by the way, never trust a woman who's name is a palindrome, okay?"

" Uh, how do you know she's a liar?"

" I waited outside her house last night, in the bushes. I saw her get picked up to go out, then dropped off exactly three hours and 24 minutes later. She's cheating on me. My Anna Banana is cheating on me."

" In the bushes?"

" I brought a sandwich."

" Oh... "

"Listen, she's lying to me, okay? And a relationship is built on trust, Chuck. Sex and trust, am I right?"

" Yeah, yeah-- two big prerequisites, I guess."

"What's cool is you and Y/N are so pure and simple, you know? The love is so obvious between you two."

Chuck nodded his head agreeing with Morgan on that. He sure was a very lucky man to have you.

"You ever wish you were born like a dog or a dolphin? Or Dr. Dre? Who's cheating on Dre, man?"

Chuck just stared at him, not sure how to answer that.

"Chuckster. Uh, we got an install job over at Marina Del Rey." Lester said approaching him.

" Okay. Well, go with God, fellas." Chuck said.

"No, no, no. Big Mike says you have to come with us, 'cause you know that Jeff's not to be left unsupervised around the holidays."

" Do you want to try my eggnog?" Jeff asked.

"No."

" I'm sorry, fellas. Is it okay if you guys go by yourself, okay? 'Cause... Anna's cheating on me. " Morgan said all sad.

"Ouch. Who's the lucky guy?" Lester asked, not caring.

" Maybe it's not another guy." Jeff said.

" Okay, let's strap on our life jackets and hit the Marina." Chuck said quickly.

Morgan walked away, shoulder slumped.

"See, that's why I've sworn off women. How'd you like to be that guy right now, all heartbroken over a lady?" Lester asked.

" Bitches ain't nothing but tricks and hoes."

" You said it, bubeleh."

Lester and Jeff walked away, to go get ready. Chuck turned around and saw you approaching the store. You smiled and waved at him before walking in the store.

"Hey." you said softly as you walked in, Chuck opening his arms as you wrapped your arms around his neck and his around your waist, as you squeezed each other tight.

"Hey. You okay?"

You got out of the hug but kept your arms around him.

"Sarah never showed up. Do you think she really did leave?"

"I don't know sweetheart. I really hope not."

"I may stop by her apartment and see if she's still there."

"Okay. I would come with you but I got an installation to do with Jeff and Lester."

"Ooohh...good luck with that hun."

"Thanks. I'm going to need it." Chuck said smiling at you.

"Well, I'll come swing by your place after you're done work?"

"Yes please."

"Sounds like a plan. Well I'll see you later and again...good luck."

"Thanks Y/NN." Chuck then leaned down and gave you a sweet kiss before you left.

While Chuck was on his job, little did he know it would lead to a new mission...
