Chuck vs. Tom Sawyer Part 3

You all made it to the Atari headquarters. Chuck and Casey were making their way inside. Chuck was in his Nerd Herd uniform, and managed to get Casey dressed in one too.

"All right, be cool, Casey."

" Have you seen what I'm wearing?"

" Just let me do the talking, okay? These are my people- programmers, nerds. And right now, their network is being attacked by a particularly nasty virus. Back at Stanford, we called it the Bartowski special."

"Yeah, real cool there, Chuck."

"Gentlemen, excuse me." Chuck said as he saw two men working on a computer.

"What do you want?"

" We heard you're having a computer problem. Someone called. Bill? Bob... I can't remember, exactly; it was a very common name."

" Yeah, we got it covered."

"Mind if I take a peek?"

"Look, nerd, Atari has more Ph. D. s than friggin' Microsoft. Yeah. Why don't you help some old lady log onto AOL?"

The two nerds laughed at Chuck and Casey and then they turned to head back out.

"Plan B." Casey said to Chuck.



You and Sarah came walking down, dressed as Nerd Herders as well but...sexy ones. You both had on a tight white blouse with the tie, a short black skirt and heels.

Soon as you two walked in, the nerds stopped what they were doing and stared at you both.

"Hi." Sarah greeted.

" I hear you're having a computer problem." you continued.

All the men began to gather around the desk.

"See, if I could just get onto that terminal, I could set off the fire alarm, I could crash the power, create a diversion." Chuck told Casey as they walked back in.

" Or we could just take the stairs. Looks like Agent Walker and L/N got the diversion pretty well covered."

Chuck looked over and just stared at you for a sec.

"One of my fantasies coming to life."

"You fantasize about your girlfriend in a Nerd Herd uniform?"

"A sexy one like that? Yes."

He told Casey as he began to follow him up the stairs.



You and Sarah looked up and saw that Chuck and Casey made it upstairs.

"Sarah doesn't even know how to fix a computer. Y/N knows a little since I taught her a bit but if Sarah touches that machine, our cover's blown."

You and Sarah noticed Chuck and Casey were still watching as the two men were explaining the problem.

"What are you guys waiting for?" Sarah asked quietly into her radio and then Chuck and Casey were gone.



"Okay. I'm gonna see if I can find another way into the penthouse. You wait here where it's safe." Casey told Chuck once they made it to the floor they needed to get to.

" This place is creepy. So creepy. " Chuck said as he looked around. All of a sudden the door opened.

"Well, if it isn't my friend from the Buy More. What a funny coincidence finding you here. " It was Farrokh.

"Yeah, it's freakin' hilarious. What a small world, right? I got a... I got a call about a computer that was acting up here, and so... In fact, is this the right floor? I don't even know if it's..."

" You have the correct floor." This way. Please." he told Chuck as he pushed him inside the penthouse.

"You know if you're busy, I can come back another time."

" Uh-uh. You're timing was perfect. I hope the machine doesn't give you too much trouble." And then he closed the door, locking him inside.

Chuck began to walk down, when he heard some music playing.

"You should not be here." he heard a man call out. Chuck looked around and saw Morimoto playing a game.

" Um, uh... Mr. Morimoto? You listening to Rush?"

" You are too late. He took the code. Who are they, terrorists? I knew I should've never hidden the numbers inside the machine."

"You hid the satellite code inside a game of Missile Command?"

"Every game, hidden in the final board. The kill screen. A secret level only I could achieve. The mathematics underlying the final board are too advanced. It's like the music of the universe."

All of a sudden, Casey came busting in, dropping from the vent in the ceiling.

"Hands up." Casey said, gun in hand.

"I am sorry, I cannot do that."

"What's going on here, Chuck?"

" Wait. Wait, if the bad guys have the code, why are you still playing the game?" Chuck asked confused.

" Uh-oh." Casey said.

"What do you mean uh-oh." Chuck said. He looked at the back of the game and noticed a bomb at the back.

" We're running out of time! SAVE YOURSELVES!" Morimoto shouted.

"Let's get out of here, Chuck."

" No, we can't just leave him here."

" Not this time."

"No, no, no, wait!" Chuck shouted as Casey grabbed him. Casey shot off the lock on the door, opening it and ran to the elevator. As soon as they made it, the bomb went off, their elevator door closing just in time.



"General, we're sorry to report that Farrokh and his team have the code." Casey said, all of you back at Castle.

" That, and they murdered Morimoto." Chuck said.

"That means that your duties are no longer required on this operation. Casey, we're turning this matter over to the 30th Space Wing at Vandenberg."

"Wait, you're launching an ICBM?" Sarah asked.

" You think you can shoot down that satellite before it shoots us? Morimoto's satellite will be passing over California in four hours. Best case, we shoot it down off the coast before its own missiles are armed. The satellite falls to Earth with acceptable civilian casualties."

" Wait a second, acceptable what? I'd like to hear the bad version. " Chuck said.

"We miss. "

"What happens then?" you asked.

" Farrokh uses Morimoto's satellite to start World War III." Sarah said, looking at you.

" Hey, what about the... what about the kill screen?" Chuck asked.

" Excuse me? "

" Missile Command . Morimoto said that the code is hidden in every arcade game. If we can get to the kill screen, we can get the code, and then we can take control of the satellite. "

"We'll have our engineers take a..."

" No, look, the only way to get the code is by beating the game, and the only person who can beat the game... "

"Is burned to a crisp." Casey said bluntly.

" I was talking about Jeff."

"So was I."

" Casey, you coordinate with the Air Force while Mr. Bartowski pursues his... contingency plan. But I promise you, one way or another, I am bringing that satellite down."

You got up and stood beside Chuck.

"Think you can really convince Jeff?" you asked him.

"I'm gonna have to." Chuck said turning to look at you.



"You want me to come out of Missile Command retirement? You're serious? " Jeff asked as him and Chuck walked to the storage room.

"Deadly."

" I don't know, man."

" Come on, what's the problem?"

"I guess I'm just cool with resting on my laurels and whatnot."

" But Jeff... you could be the first guy to ever get to the kill screen."

" Listen, it doesn't exist. The kill screen's just a myth."

"I promise you, it's real, and you're the only one who can do it."

"I'm a little out of shape, mentally. "

"Jeff, it's just a stupid video game! "

"That's where you're wrong, Chuck. It's more than a game. Besides, what do you care whether I play or not? "

"I guess I was just really moved by what you said last night." Chuck told him as Jeff sat down and he went to stand behind him.

" Huh?"

" Oh, you remember. Come on. How you were sick and tired of busting your ass at this stupid store. How you had this incredible gift that you couldn't wait for the world to see."

"Really? I said that?"

"Sure you did, Jeff."

" About Missile Command?"

" You were very compelling."

Jeff then turned around and looked at Chuck.

" Okay, I'll do it. I'll play."

" Buddy... "

"But first, I'm gonna need provisions."
