Chuck vs. The Best Friend Part 3
Chuck was running to grab you and him a glass of champagne. Once he finally caught up to the guy and got the glasses, he looked over at a gang walking in. He flashed on all of them and quickly went to find you and Sarah.
When you saw Chuck walking over, you made your way over and grabbed a glass from him.
"Oh thank you babe."
"I just flashed."
"What?"
Sarah was now standing beside you.
"Yeah. Her name is Smooth Lau, and they're all Triad."
"Okay, let's follow them." Sarah suggested.
You and Chuck nodded your heads and began making your way down when Anna appeared in front of you all.
"Hey, uh, Y/N and Sarah? can I talk to you both? I could really use a friend right now."
"Oh, sure."
"Yeah that's no problem Anna." you said then turned to Chuck. "I'll catch up in a second, sweetie."
"Okay."
Chuck leaned in to give you a quick kiss.
"Wait for us." Sarah said, quickly handing Chuck a chip before walking off with you and Anna.
You and Sarah were still talking with Anna. You haven't seen or heard from Chuck yet and you were just praying he was okay.
"I like Jason, and, you know, on paper, he's everything Morgan's not. So that's good."
"No, no. That's bad." Sarah said.
"Why?"
"Because Morgan's the guy you keep comparing him to."
"Sarah is totally right. I'm not just saying this because Morgan is my best friend and all but... I wouldn't give up on him so quickly you know? Maybe there are still some feelings there if you keep comparing."
"You guys are totally right." Anna said, a little amazed. "Oh, my God! Do you think that means I still love him?"
You and Sarah then turned around when you heard a radio go off and heard someone talking about an intruder on the premises.
"Chuck." you said worried.
You turned to look at Sarah and could see she was a little nervous too.
You, Sarah and Casey came running into the room where Chuck was at and you breathed a sigh of relief when you saw him standing there unharmed.
"Oh thank God." you said, coming to stand beside him, putting your arms around each other. But then you were all confused.
"Wait. If Chuck hasn't been captured, then..." Sarah started.
"Who's the spy being held by Triad?" Casey asked.
"Ow. Hey, hey, wait, wait, wait. Let me explain what I'm... Hey, hey, hey."
You and Chuck both instantly recognized that voice.
"Oh, my God, that's Morgan." you said.
"They got Morgan." Chuck said before you and him began to run off.
"Hey, whoa." Sarah said, stopping both of you.
"What? We gotta help him."
"No. We cannot just start pulling out weapons. We're gonna blow our cover."
"Then what's the next option?" you asked.
"Think it's easy for me to do nothing? Goes against everything I believe in." Casey said.
"Then don't do nothing. Do something."
"We can't just stand here while our best friend gets tortured or killed." Chuck added.
Sarah and Casey just stood there.
"Fine, if you're not gonna save him...then we will." Chuck said before you two ran off.
You and Chuck ran outside to find Morgan pinned against a car by the Triad.
"Wait, wait, wait! He's not a spy." Chuck yelled as you ran over.
" Who the hell are you guys?" the woman asked.
"Wait. What's going on?" Jason asked as he came outside with Anna and Sarah.
"Morgan?" Anna said, confused to see him.
"This is your ex from Buy More?"
"What are you doing here?"
"Tell me before I break your neck." the woman told Morgan.
"No, no, no. Please don't..." you begged.
"You don't wanna do that, because we know why he's here. He's here..." Chuck began
"Guys..." Morgan said, begging you guys not to say anything.
"He's here because he's stalking you." you said, turning to Anna.
"What?" Anna asked.
"That's right, that's right." Chuck said, going along with you. "He's not a spy, okay? He's a stalker. Which is a thin, but very key difference, in my opinion. I see why Anna dumped you. This guy is a profoundly disturbed individual, okay? He just can't let go of her."
"Yeah sorry. He's an obsessed, but totally unthreatening...sicko. I don't know how many times I have had to tell you this. Grow up, Morgan Grimes." you finished, hating every moment of saying that.
You and Chuck were so upset about that and hated watching Morgan walking away, hurt clear on his face.
You looked down and grabbed Chuck's hand, trying to hold back tears.
"Well, you just saved your best friend's life." Sarah told you both.
"At the expense of his dignity." Chuck said upset.
"Well, at least he's still breathing. Come on."
Sarah pulled you with her as you kept your grip on Chuck's hand as you both walked back inside.
The next day, you called Chuck on his cell at work to see if he fixed it with Morgan for you both.
"Hey Chuck..."
"Hey Y/NN..."
"So...any news?"
"No...Morgan just can't seem to forgive us. I've tried everything."
"I know you have babe. Think I should try to talk to him for us?"
"I think you are going to get the same results as I did."
"Yeah probably. We need to go talk to Sarah. Meet me at work in 5?"
"I'll be there."
Once Chuck arrived you walked down stairs into Castle and found Sarah on the laptop.
"How could you make us choose between Morgan's life and his friendship?" Chuck asked.
"That wasn't going to happen, because Anna vouched for him." Sarah told you both.
"You don't get who he is to us."
"No, I get it. He's your best friend."
"You know, you say that, but I don't think you have a clue what it means." you began. You and Chuck grabbed a seat and sat down at the table with her." Look, Sarah. I don't have parents. I mean, not really. They never really cared about me so it was like I had no parents. I had to take care of myself. I don't talk about it because that's just the way that things are now. But one thing was for damn sure. I always had Chuck and Morgan. Whenever I felt alone, they were there for me. Chuck was my shoulder to lean on while Morgan was the guy to do about anything to make me forget about what was going on and to make me laugh."
"Exactly. And Morgan and Y/N were there the first day that my mom took off." Chuck began. "He didn't say much, because, honestly, what is a fifth-grader supposed to say? But we sat and me, Y/N and Morgan all split a cherry cheesecake and played "Legend of Zelda" all night long. And my dad, well, that's a whole other story. But Morgan was there for that too."
"He was there for both of us in our time of need."
"Morgan is more than just our best friend. He's our family."
"Yes. He's always been a brother to me. So, once again, before you got here, and long after you've gone...Morgan is our family." you told Sarah, looking at her seriously.
"Last night, we failed to learn the contents of the Triad's container." Sarah started. We don't know what drugs or weapons are floating around the city. And while I appreciate both of your friendship with Morgan, Iosing sight of that container endangers many people's best friends. Not just yours, guys."
You and Chuck just stared at Sarah.
You went along with Chuck to go find Morgan to see if you could talk to him.
"Hey, Morgan, will you please just talk to us for one second?" Chuck asked.
"I have nothing left to say to you, dude. You too Y/N." You and Chuck sighed before Morgan turned back to the both of you. "Oh, one question, though, before I never speak to you both again: How did you two betraying me turn into you saving me?"
"Morgan, we're so sorry for betraying you." you said.
"No, you don't get to say sorry."
"You're right. Sorry isn't good enough. It's a cheap way of-"
"Stop it, Y/N. You don't get it. This whole thing is my fault, guys. It's me. I made this mess. You warned me not to spy. I went and did it. I'm sick of you guys being right, then having to bail me out."
"You've bailed us out plenty of times." Chuck said.
"I can't count on either of you to fix things my whole life.
"What? Of course you can." you told him.
"Look...it's time for me to pay for my own mistakes...fight my own battles."
You all looked over when you noticed the Triad walking around the Buy More.
"Um, buddy, I would maybe start with a different battle." Chuck said before you all ducked down and made your way to the back room.
You were all hiding in between a whole lot of boxes in the storage room in hopes that the Triad would not come looking for you all back there.
"Look, just keep it down, remain calm, and this will all be over soon." you said.
"No, dude. You know what this is? This is you two saving me again."
"No. No, it's not. This is three best friends...hiding from a terrible beating." Chuck said.
"Look, the time is now, okay? Time for me to stand up for myself! I need to go out there to these thugs and take it like a grown man. A grown man who spies on women, fine But still... Chuck, Y/N, I'm done, okay? I won't have you guys saving me anymore." Morgan said, crawling out from the boxes. You and Chuck quickly went after him.
"No. Wait, wait, wait. Morgan, Morgan, wait. Wait. You can't just go out there with your breath stinking like garbage."
"Way to kick a man when he's about to be beat down. I have dandruff in my beard. You wanna riff on me for that too?"
"No, we wouldn't...You have dandruff in your beard?" you asked.
"All I'm saying is that maybe you should freshen up first, you know? Why poke an already pissed-off bear?" Chuck asked him.
"Exactly. I got the stuff right here." you said, pulling out what looked like breath spray.
Morgan looked at it and gave in and opened his mouth. Your sprayed a quick squirt.
"That's strong. What is that, pepp...? Is that just peppermint?" Morgan asked before passing out.
"That's quick." Chuck commented
You were waiting outside by your car as you waited for Chuck to bring Morgan out in a big TV box and to get him away from here.
You hit your homing device on your watch just in case anything were to go down in the process and you needed Sarah and Casey.
It was taking some time and you then saw Sarah and Casey running up to you.
"Y/N! Hey what's going on?" Sarah asked you.
"The Triad is here and they are after Morgan. Chuck and I are trying to get him out of here without them knowing but Chuck has been taking a while and I'm getting a little worried."
"Alright let's go." Casey said as you all ran inside the store.
You saw Chuck standing by the TVs and quickly made your way over.
"Chuck!" you called out.
Chuck quickly turned around when he heard you.
"Chuck. What is it?" Sarah asked.
"I flashed. We have to get to the auction. Triad's are gonna kill the Chinese ambassador."
"Why would he walk into a Triad den?" Sarah asked.
"Wang's got a legitimate business. Ambassador doesn't know Wang's Triad." Casey explained.
"It's not a safe place for him. Look, we just gotta get Morgan." Chuck said as he began making his way back to Morgan and you followed him.
You and Chuck looked around, panicking, when you noticed the box you put him in was gone.
"Wait."
"Chuck...Where's Morgan?" you asked.
You both then looked at the back door.
"Morgan?!" you and Chuck shouted before running to the back
"Guys wait!" Sarah shouted as she and Casey ran after you both.
When you all got to the back though it was too late, you saw the Triad get into the car and drive off with the box that Morgan was in, in the back.
