TITLE: Chuck vs The Sentinel
AUTHOR: Stormwolf
RATING: NC-17 eventually
DISCLAIMER: I wish owned Chuck but I think AB would go on strike after reading my scripts. LOL
NOTES: I am still not sure about this chapter but its all I got. I hope you enjoy. Maybe my muse will come back. Since I am stuck with my diet I can't tempt it with chocolate. All comments and criticisms are welcome.
A familiar heartbeat beckoned him awake, and John Casey slowly opened his eyes turning his head to see that his guide was safe and well. He smiled slightly when he saw that Chuck was sitting in the reclining chair beside Casey's hospital bed. One of Chuck's hands rested lightly on Casey's shoulder in a protective and comforting gesture. Casey lifted his hand to touch Chuck's hand causing the guide to come awake with a start.
"What?" Chuck said and then looked to see that Casey was awake and looking at him with amusement and fondness in his blue eyes.
"Hey you're awake," Chuck said in a soft gentle tone unsure as to how controlled Casey's senses were at the moment.
"How?" Casey asked and Chuck knew what his sentinel was asking.
"Beckman had has help the FBI team that were looking for those guys, I flashed a few times and well here we are." Chuck was going to mention the dream. He didn't think Casey would believe him about it anyway.
"The others?" Casey asked.
"The FBI got them out. I am sure they contacted whatever guides they had. No one else was injured."
Casey nodded at that.
There was a knock on the door, a slight one and when Chuck told them they could enter the door opened to admit Sarah Walker. She smiled upon seeing Casey awake. "Good to have you back." She said.
"Good to be back. When can I get out of here?" He asked turning to Chuck with that question.
"The doctor said after you wake up he would examine you and make the decision then. Guess we need to tell the nurse you are awake."
"I will do that. I was on my way up anyway to tell you that Agent Malone is on his way down to get Casey's statement." Sarah said.
"Okay, thanks Sarah." Chuck said.
Sarah nodded at that and left the room to tell the nurse that Casey was awake. A few minutes later Agent Malone entered the room after knocking lightly.
"Agent Casey I was wondering if you were up to giving me a statement. Because of your status we need to keep up the appearance of your cover."
Casey nodded at that. "I can give you my statement Agent Malone."
Agent Malone nodded and took a seat and pulled out a digital recorder from his inner jacket pocket. He spoke into the recorder, "This is the statement of John Casey sentinel. Present in the room are myself Agent Malone and John Casey's guide, Charles Bartowski. "
Casey then told them what had happened from the moment he had exited the Buy More to the time he lost consciousness. Since Casey was a sentinel the digital statement would be typed up and both would be admitted as evidence in the court when the trial came. In cases where they were the victims, sentinels, like children, were never called forth as witnesses in a trial to be questioned and cross-examined. Only when they were witnesses or police officers involved in solving the case did sentinels ever see the inside of courtroom. Casey thought it was just as well because if he had had to testify he would have ruined the case because he would have had to plead the fifth too many times due to his cover.
When the statement was done, Agent Malone left the room.
Casey casted his hearing out into the waiting room hoping to hear the doctor coming because he was ready to leave the hospital. He quickly became aware of the guard outside the room who was being very inconspicious about his duties so as not alert anyone that Casey was not just a regular sentinel who worked at the Buy More. He heard footsteps heading in the direction of his room and turned his attentiont to them. They were stopped by the nurse who asked them what their businness was.
"Ma'am step aside. I am an agent with the Sentinel Affairs office and this a federal matter."
Casey growled slowly under his breath upon hearing those words and Chuck worridly placed a hand on Casey's arm. "What's wrong?"
"Call Beckman, now. Tell her the SA is here." Casey said close to panic.
Chuck was shocked by the fear he saw in Casey's eyes and was quick to get his phone and call the secure number that would allow him to read General Beckman.
As he was telling her that Casey had told him the SA were at the hospital the door opened admitting two men in suits who showed Federal IDs that said they were with Sentinel Affairs.
Chuck hung up the phone after Beckman told him that she would handle it and not to let them take Casey anywhere.
"Mr. Bartowski, I am Agent Feldmen with Sentinel Affairs and this is my partner Agent Phillips. We recieved evidence that your sentinel, one John Casey is a rogue and we are here to take him into custody." The man said without preamble.
Chuck felt Casey stiffen beneathe his hand and Chuck patted Casey's arm hoping to assure Casey that he would handle the problem.
"Since the SA only has authority over guideless sentinels, I can't see how you can take Casey anywhere without my permission. And I assure you Agent, that you won't ever have my permission."
"Rogue sentinels fall under our authority as well, Mr. Bartowski." The agent said.
"Only if a rogue commits a crime. Casey hasn't been charged with a crime by anyone so even if he was rogue you still don't have the authority."
Before Agent Feldman could say anything else the door opened and two men walked inside both wearing dark suits. "Agent Feldman you may leave." One of the newcomers said.
"And who are you?" Agent Feldman asked.
The man held up an NSA badge, "My name is unimportant and classified besides. You will leave. This is a matter of national security and you are in over your paygrade. So leave." The man said.
"A rogue sentinel is a serious danger, but I fail to see how its a matter for the NSA." Agent Feldman said.
"As I said before that is above your pay grade. I suggest you leave before we have to take this up with your superiors."
Agent Feldman looked angrily at the man then turned and looked at Casey. "If he is a rogue sentinel then you are making a grave mistake." And with that he turned and left his partner following in his wake.
"Thanks for the rescue." Chuck told the NSA agents.
"General Beckman harried us over here as fast as we could move, Mr Carmichael. I am glad we were in time. I dislike the SA." The man said.
"Join the club." Casey said. He had relaxed once the NSA agents had shown up.
"Where in the world would they get evidence that Casey was rogue?" Chuck asked.
"Beckman contacted Agent Malone of the FBI and found out that one of the kidnappers had sent a tape of Major Casey killing another one of the kidnappers to the SA. She said she was going to send someone to confiscate the tape and do some damage control."
"The SA better not compromise my cover over this." Casey said.
"I believe it will be contained. I am heading over there now to check on the progress. There are two NSA agents posing as orderlies on this floor in case the SA tried something."
With that the two men left Casey and Chuck alone in the room.
