Chuck vs. The Ex Part 3
"Ten bucks says she doesn't open the door for him." Casey said ,as you, him and Sarah sat in the van, watching Chuck on the security cameras.
" Make it $20 and you're on." Sarah said.
"Really guys?" you asked, looking over at him.
"Hey. He's not my boyfriend." Casey said, shrugging.
"I don't want to talk to you, Chuck." Jill shouted as Chuck knocked on her door.
" Okay, well, then, I'll do all the talking. I know this may come as a shock to you, but I'm here to do something totally crazy and uh... tell you the truth. I still work at the Buy More and, uh, I still live with my sister, and I still have no idea what I'm doing with my life. I guess I just wanted you to think I was someone special, so... in order to accomplish that, I went out and got a new suit and rented a car that I clearly have no idea how to drive, because , well because why not? I wanted to show you I was not a loser." Chuck then paused. "I guess I'm not over you Jill." Chuck hoped that sounded convincing. Chuck looked at the camera, hoping you were watching as blew a kiss for you.
"That was good Chuck." you told him and he smiled.
"You haven't gotten over me?" Jill asked as she opened the door a little.
"No."
" Get in here."
Jill walked back and Chuck gave a thumb's up to the camera and walked in.
Sarah looked over at Casey and he handed her twenty dollars. You laughed a little.
Later on, Chuck walked back into the van, looking a little scared.
"What happened?" Sarah asked.
" Huh? Oh. Yeah, no, it was... it was great, fine. We connected."
"She's talking about the bug, moron." Casey said, stepping in.
"Oh, that. Yes, of course, that, I planted it. It is planted. I may have turned it off, though-- I'm not..."
" Why would you do that?"
" Relax, these things are pretty much idiot-proof. If it's in the room, it picks up the signal. It worked, we're tapped in to her cell and the room phone."
You looked at Chuck and you could tell he looked a little off.
"Babe?"
"Hmm?"
Chuck turned to look at you.
"You okay? You look a little... I don't know. Traumatized?"
"She kissed me." Chuck said real fast.
"What?"
"She kissed me. I'm sorry. I didn't know it would happen. She caught me off guard."
"Oh....Well, well did you kiss her back?"
"No! Of course not. I wouldn't think of doing that."
"Okay. Then don't worry."
"Really? You're not mad?"
"No. I'm not mad at you. I wanna get my hands on Jill but I'm not mad."
Chuck laughed a little and leaned over to hug you.
"Thank you."
"You guys done?" Casey asked, annoyed.
You and Chuck glared at him then looked at the screen and flashed on a guy.
"Oh! Uh, that dude is some kind of an assassin-- his code name is Wolf Den."
"He's going to floor 11-- that's Guy's floor." you said.
Sarah and Casey looked at you both.
"Guys..." Sarah started.
" Yeah, we know, we know. Stay in the van. " Chuck said.
"Don't touch anything." Sarah said before leaving with Casey.
As you and Chuck were sitting there, you could both hear a phone ringing. It was for the bug in Jill's room. You and Chuck looked at each other and shrugged, each grabbing a headset and listening in on the convo.
"Hello?" you heard a woman answer.
" Hey, it's Jill. "
"How are you after last night?"
" I'm doing great, Shari. You're not gonna believe who came to my room to apologize tonight."
"Please tell me you didn't let that loser in."
You and Chuck both made a face.
"Well, he looked like a puppy dog. I couldn't say no. And... I still think he's kind of cute."
" Cute? He's a computer dork that makes ten bucks an hour."
"EXCUSE ME?!" You shouted.
" Hello... it's $12. 50." Chuck said.
" Chuck? Chuck, are you on my phone? Who's the woman?"
" Uh, Jill, is that you?"
"I'm sorry! Wrong phone number." you said.
" Why are you on my phone?"
" I don't know, I don't know. It's so... it's... I tried calling you, so I... I think our... our wires got crossed or something. Is this a party line?"
" What did you do to my phone? Did you bug it or something? And again, lady who's talking? Who are you?"
" Bug it? What... what am I, an entomologist? No, you're... you're talking crazy jargon."
" I'm calling security. On both of you." Jill finished, hanging up.
"Oh, oh, oh."
"Crap."
As you both were sitting there, you all of a sudden heard a loud bang coming from the top of the van.
"Chuck, Y/N, Guy is not in his room." Sarah said.
You and Chuck looked out the windshield to see Guy, dead, sliding down.
"We know." Chuck replied.
You, Chuck, Sarah and Casey were now back at Castle. Casey had Jill in one of the interrogation rooms. He was handing her some tissues, as she was crying, you, Chuck and Sarah were watching from the other side.
"I feel terrible. Maybe Y/N and I should go in there and talk to her?" Chuck asked.
" She can't know you're spies."
" Of course, but she'll just think I'm a stalker."
" She doesn't think you're a stalker." Sarah said.
Meanwhile...
"So... Why do you think Guy was killed?" Casey asked.
" What is this place? Why was I blindfolded? "
"It's a secret CIA compound. We've been watching you for days, Ms. Roberts."
"Watching me? Why?"
"We thought your boss, Guy, was into some shady business. We kept an eye on you, as well. To protect you."
Casey then handed Jill a folder where there were a bunch of pictures.
"That's my ex-boyfriend, Chuck. Is he involved in this? He's been acting really weird lately. One minute, he's completely normal. The next, he's acting like total lunatic." Jill said.
"She didn't say stalker." Sarah commented.
" Almost like a stalker."
You and Chuck both looked at Sarah.
"And there was some random woman who was on my phone also. I have no idea who she could be."
Sarah looked at you and you shrugged.
"Her friend insulted Chuck. I got mad."
"Yeah, it can be a pattern with these losers. A pretty girl smiles at them, they get all infatuated. Seen it a million times. No. He wasn't involved. And whoever that woman was. She was probably some drunk who somehow tapped into your phone." Casey said as he walked over to the mirror, staring at you and Chuck." Your boss, Guy, however..."
" Maybe Guy was involved, but not how you think. Guy had discovered an antiviral serum for a strain of influenza used in a bioweapon, an airborne influenza so deadly it could kill a person within one hour if exposed. Now, a couple of days ago, Guy learned that our company secretly sells the influenza bioweapon. That's why Guy planned to present our research at the convention, so that the company couldn't cover it up any more. I guess it's up to me to do that now."
You and Chuck looked at each other. You both may not care for Jill that much for what she did but you both knew it was way too dangerous for a civilian to do this.
"No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no." you and Chuck both said as you both also banged on the window.
" So, you'll do the presentation..." Casey asked.
" No, it's too dangerous, Casey!" you shouted.
" Um, your window's knocking." Jill pointed out.
"Excuse me."
" What?" Casey said annoyed, looking at you and Chuck.
" Jill is not going to the conference." Chuck said.
" The assassin will kill her." you added.
" It's our only chance, the only way to smoke him out. Besides, didn't you say you wanted to kill her yourself L/N?"
"Not literally! It is too dangerous for her, all right?" you said.
" We are putting our feet down. Gingerly." Chuck said.
" Look, Bartowski, my job is to look after all the citizens of this nation, not just some girl you used to go out with."
"Sarah... please, we can't use Jill as bait and risk her life giving that presentation." Chuck said.
"Fine, I'll give the presentation." Sarah said, shrugging.
You and Chuck just stared at her. You didn't want her to do it either.
