Chuck vs. The Sandworm Part 4


Chuck was in his room getting ready for his interview today. He was putting his tie on when you came into his room.

"Hey! You look handsome."

Chuck looked at you and tried to smile but it wasn't happening.

"Thanks. I feel like crap."

You looked at him concerned and went and stood close to him.

"We screwed up. We severely pooched the Lazslo situation last night."

Yeah... I know... It's been bothering me too... But today, you have a job interview." you said fixing his tie and patting it down.

"Y/N I can't even think about that right now." he said grabbing your hands gently. "Do you think I care about making lower management at a buy more?"

"Well no but.."

Then Sarah came walking in.

"Hey. Just came in to check on you guys. "

"Yeah well we are not the greatest right now Sarah." Chuck said going to sit on the bed, you right beside him. Sarah took a seat in front of you two. "We aided and abetted the escape of the next Ted Kacyzski, Sarah. I just... I can't believe that we were so wrong about that guy."

"No wonder you bugged our rooms. We're absolute idiots." you said.

" You know, just because you trust people, it doesn't make you an idiot." Sarah said looking at you.

"Yeah, well, we should've trusted you guys a little more. We're sorry" you added.

"Well, Casey got a signal on your car Chuck, and somehow the GPS got turned back on and Lazslo was heading east. So, I'll call you both from the road. And don't worry, we're going to bring him in, guys. Good luck today Chuck." Sarah said leaving you two in Chuck's room.

You watched Sarah leave then looked back at Chuck.

"Well...maybe we don't have to worry too much today. We know Sarah's got this."

Chuck nodded and smiled a little.

"Yeah. Yeah you're right."

"Of course I'm right." you said smirking a little.

Chuck let out a soft laugh.

"Now come on. Let's get you to work." you said getting up and sticking out your hand for Chuck to grab. Chuck looked at you and smiled, grabbing your hand as he stood up and you both walked out of the room, still holding hands.


You pulled up to the Buy More to drop off Chuck.

"Good luck in there Chuck. You're going to do amazing. Like you always do." you said turning to look at him.

"Thanks Y/NN." he said smiling. "I'll see you after work."

Just as Chuck was about to leave your car you quickly leaned over and kissed his cheek.

Chuck looked back at you with now a bigger smile on his face.

"What was that for?"

"For good luck." you said trying to hide your blush.

Chuck gave you a warm smile and got out of your car. After he left you sighed and drove a little ways down to park by your work.



While inside work, Chuck found the drawing that Lazslo gave him and flashed on it. Lazslo was going to the Santa Monica pier. Chuck quickly called you to meet him outside the Buy More which you agreed to do right away. He then proceeded to call Sarah.

"Lazslo is not headed east. He's going to the Santa Monica pier."

"Yeah, you don't say? We just found the GPS in downtown. Lazslo ripped it out and stuck it under a big rig." Sarah said.

" Look, he was casing the arcade. It's where he was first recruited. There's a huge Halloween party there every year. I think he's going to blow it up."

" Where do you think you're going?" Big Mike said when he saw Chuck about to leave.

" Um... It's you. Hey, hey, Big Mike, I... Can I... Can I borrow another herder?"

" All the herders are out. You've got an interview this afternoon, or did you forget?"

"No. I-I just... I'm... Something came up."

" Is that something more important than being assistant manager? Is it more important than handing over your promotion to Tang? Please, Chuck. Is it more important than big Mike's relaxation?"

"Look, big Mike, there are just some things in life that are more important than the buy more." Chuck finsihed, walking out of the store.

"You mean, like fishing and danish?"

As soon as Chuck got out he saw you waiting for him by the door.

"Chuck what is going on?"

"Lazslo is going to blow up the Santa Monica pier."

"What?! Did you flash?"

"Yeah! Look!"

He pulled out the napkin and you flashed on it too seeing the same thing.

"Oh my God."

"Come on!" Chuck pulled you grabbing Morgan's bike.

"Chuck my car is just down there!"

"No time! Let's go!"

"And where am I supposed to sit?"

"In the front like when we were kids."

"Oh no."

"Come on Y/NN. Please?"

You couldn't say no to him.

"Fine."

"Great! Let's go!"

You hopped in the front, holding for dear life onto the handle bars.

"Please be careful Chuck."

"We'll be fine. Hang on!"

You and Chuck finally made it to the pier, looking around and grabbing everyone to see if they were Lazslo. You and Chuck looked at each other then ran out onto the beach. As you looked under one of the arch ways you found the Nerd Herder sitting there.

"Chuck!"

Chuck looked over at you and saw what you were looking at and you both ran towards it. You both checked out the car and when you got to the front, the hood was open and there was a bomb in the car.

"Oh God." you said.

"I meant to tell you earlier about your car's self destruct function." Yours and Chuck's head shot up and you saw Lazslo sitting against a pole. "One of my more inspired designs."

"Lazslo, listen."

"Relax, Chuck. She's all yours." he said throwing him the keys. Grabbing them, Chuck hit one of the keys buttons and a beeping sound went off.

" What did you just do?" Chuck asked.

"You just armed a bomb. That would have taken me hours to get through the fingerprint recognition system."

You and Chuck looked over and saw the bomb counting down.

" Why are you doing this?" Chuck asked.

" What? Blowing stuff up? That's what bad guys do, Chuck. Besides, how else was I going to punish them for what they did to me?"

Chuck's phone then started ringing. It was Casey. He quickly answered, walking away and you following him closely.

"Yeah?"

"Hey, someone just armed the herder to self-destruct."

"Yeah. I know. It was me."

You and Chuck looked over at the bomb. Time was almost up.

"Disarm the bomb right now!" Chuck yelled.

" You disarm the bomb!" Lazslo yelled back.

" How? "

"Cut the wire."

"Which one?"

" The red one."

You and Chuck just stared at the wires, wondering if you really should be cutting the red one.

"You got to cut a wire, Chuck!"

" What if I cut both of them?"

" Oh, like Sean Connery in the end of Goldfinger?"

That made your head shoot up.

"What did you just say?" you asked.

" Cut the wire."

" The other night, you said you'd never seen Goldfinger, so, how would you know what Bond does at the end of the movie?" you asked.

"Cut the wire, or we're dead." Lazslo said staring you and Chuck down.

"You lied to us, Lazslo." you started." You knew we'd believe you when you said you just wanted to live a normal, peaceful life."

" And you knew that I'd believe you about cutting the wire, but you were wrong, Lazslo." Chuck added.

"Y/N! Chuck!" Sarah yelled running down with Casey.

" Wait! Wait! Stay back!" you shouted to them.

" Cut the red wire, Chuck!" Lazslo yelled.

You grabbed onto Chuck's arm, bracing yourself as Chuck leaned down, taking a risk to cut the green wire. Soon as cut it the bomb stopped. Chuck and you breathed a sigh of relief as you leaned over as well resting your forehead against his shoulder.

"You're under arrest." Casey said coming over to grab Lazslo.

You stayed, leaning against Chuck as you both looked at Lazslo, hurt by everything. Sarah looked over at you both and came to stand beside you.



You went back with Chuck to the Buy More, where their Halloween costume party was happening now.

"Hey, Chuck." Jeff and Lester greeted. Chuck waved.

"Oh and Y/N." Lester added seeing you. and you waved back as well.

" Nice costume, Chuck." Harry said coming over.

"And what are you supposed to be? Oh, that's right. You're my employee. Aren't you going to congratulate me? You did hear I got the job."

You rolled your eyes at the man. You didn't know how Chuck could put up with him.

" Uncontested. Yeah. Nice work, Harry."

You smirked when Chuck said that.

"Anyhow, now that you're here, I wanted to talk to you about some organizational ideas I had for the nerd Herd..."

Chuck grabbed your hand and you both began walking away.

" Chuck, where are you going? Chuck? Chuck, I will not be ignored!"

"Did Morgan ever find you?" Anna said coming over to the both of you." I thought the guy was going to lose it."

"No. I-I know. He was really looking forward to the buy more costume contest."

"I'm talking about what he did for you. Giving the whole big speech to try to talk the HR guy into giving you the job?"

" Morgan did that?" Chuck asked shocked.

You smiled. That is definitely something Morgan would do. He really was a great friend. To both of you.

" And then someone went and stole his bike. I mean, what kind of loser would steal a guy's bike?"

Chuck looked at you and you both were thinking the same thing and you both ran out of the store, leaving a confused Anna behind.

You quickly got into your car this time, putting Morgan's bike in the back and then you were off to Chuck's place.



Once you arrived at Chuck's place, you found Morgan sitting alone by the bar, half of the costume on. You and Chuck quickly made your way over and Morgan saw the both of you and stood up coming over to you.

"I didn't think you two were coming."

" I'm sorry. I got held up. Listen, Morgan, I think you should be the head this year." Chuck said.

"Really?"

"Yeah."

"And if it ain't too much trouble. I think I would finally help and be the middle part." you said looking between Chuck and Morgan.

Chuck and Morgan both smiled at you.

"Absolutely." Chuck said softly.



Here the three of you were now, all in the worm costume, dancing along and everyone was cheering for you guys.

Ellie then came up to you three.

"Chuck? Chuck, honey? Honey? " Ellie said grabbing the front end of the costume.

"He's in the back." Morgan yelled.

" Hey." Chuck greeted getting out of the costume.

"How did it go? Uh, the short version is that I didn't get the job."

You got out of the costume as well now.

"What?"

" I kind of skipped out on the interview."

"It was my fault." Sarah said, coming out of nowhere, dressed as slave Princess Leia.

" Hel-lo." Morgan said checking her out.

"I, uh... I had a personal emergency, and Chuck really came through. He probably wouldn't admit it, but your brother is kind of a hero. Y/N too. She was amazing." Sarah said.

You and Chuck looked at her smiling.

"Would you excuse us?" Hey, uh, buddy, you mind if... You mind if we take a little five minute break?" Chuck asked looking over at Morgan.

"Dude yeah! No problem."


You, Chuck and Sarah all walked over to Chuck's room.

"So, uh, where did you get the costume?" Chuck asked.

" The CIA can make anything." Sarah said reaching into a bag and pulling out a camera.

"What are you... What are you doing?" you asked.

" Uh... Smile. Smile." Sarah said holding up a camera in front of the three of you. After taking the photo she turned around to look at the both of you.

" I, uh... I wanted to give you a new photo of all of us, and I figured that it should be something real."

You gave Sarah a big smile.

"Chuck! Y/N! They're calling for the worm, dudes." Morgan shouted coming up to the window. You and Chuck can hear the people chanting and you both smiled.

"I'll, uh... I'll see you outside." Sarah said coming up beside you, smiling at you as she walked away.

Morgan climbed through the window and you all sat down.

"What were you guys, uh... What were you guys talking about?"

"Oh, nothing. Just, uh, you know. Sarah was just telling me that if she were stranded on a desert island, she would bring roast beef."

You smirked knowing where this was going since you knew Casey would be listening in.

" She didn't say roast beef."

" Oh, she totally... she completely said roast beef." you said.

"Oh, that's terrible. Oh, that's a terrible sandwich, it's a terrible sandwich. You know, she's smart, and she's sexy, and kudos on her costume, looked fantastic, but who brings roast beef To a deserted island? That's a terrible choice."

You and Chuck looked at each other smiling as Morgan went on about how bad of choice that sandwich was.

And yes... Casey was listening in again, looking very annoyed.
