Well, I need this story to come to a close. I will hopefully write other Chuck Fanfic soon. I do not own Chuck.

Sarah, Chuck and Casey wait patiently in Castle for their mission and Chuck almost wants to hug Casey because they are staying together, but mostly because it would annoy him.

"Glad to have the team back," Chuck is ecstatic to have a mission with Casey. He pats Casey on the back. Casey looks at him with deathly eyes and grunts.

"Alright, I was just being nice," Chuck backs away wary of Casey.

Beckman calls and Casey immediately opens the video feed.

"I see you aren't late this time," Beckman says in her normal monotone voice.

Chuck smiles as Sarah tries to stay professional.

"Your mission is to escort me to a meeting with all the Government Agencies," Beckman explains as if it is no big deal that she is who they need to protect.

"Wait! So you're in Los Angeles right now?" Chuck is confused but surprised.

"I will be arriving at 0600 hours and the meeting is at 0800. We will meet at 0700."

"You can count on us," Chuck has that nerdy tone to his voice. Beckman looks at him in annoyance. She ends the feed with that. Chuck raises his eyebrows in confusion as he looks at Sarah and Casey. "Ahh… She trusts us…" Chuck says in a cute and lovable way.

Sarah smiles at Chuck as Casey just grunts. "We should get some sleep," Sarah suggests taking Chuck and walking out. "We'll see you tomorrow at 0700 hours," Sarah sincerely says to Casey. Casey nods his head.

"I forgot to ask Beckman if they saved my mother!" Chuck remembers horrifically.

"I'm sure they saved her. We need to focus on the mission." Sarah tries to keep Chuck's head clear.

After being debriefed the hour before, team Bartowski set up the security teams. Casey was in the SUV with Beckman; mostly because she wouldn't be able to stand Chuck trying to talk to her. Sarah is already at the building with a team to make sure it is secure. Chuck is in the lead SUV of the caravan to protect Beckman.

The caravan is about a mile away when s sniper shot wrings through the air and the bulletproof windshield shatters. All the SUV's immediately react by speeding up. Casey holds Beckman down for her safety as the windshield-less limo follows Chuck's SUV closely.

Another shot blares through the now fearful air. The limo immediately runs into a light pole.

"Stop the car!" Chuck yells at the driver of his SUV as the driver hits the brakes hard. "Reverse!" The driver reverses all the way until they are right next to the crashed limo.

Casey and Beckman are still in the back. "There is a sniper! We need a way out of here!" Casey calls through the radio.

"We're on our way to pick you up! Hold still!" Chuck explains.

Chuck's SUV pulls up next to the limo. They both open their doors carefully. The driver lines them up perfectly.

"Get in right now!" Chuck yells as Casey shields Beckman behind the doors. They both get in carefully and turn out of the sight of the sniper.

"How did a single bullet break bulletproof glass?" Chuck asks surprised while his adrenaline is flowing.

"I don't know!" Casey responds annoyed. "Stay off that street!" He orders the driver. Chuck looks at him in confusion and fear. "You alright General?" Casey asks Beckman.

"I am fine," she responds with full certainty.

"Sarah! This is Chuck!" Chuck wants to inform Sarah of the situation.

"What the hell is happening?" Sarah cusses because she is confused.

"We took sniper fire and re-acquired Beckman. We are taking another route!"

"What do you mean 're-acquired'?"

"The driver was killed and the limo crashed. We picked her up in my SUV," Chuck explains to the best of his abilities.

We'll be ready to get her in!" Sarah assures over the radio.

"Good. Looks like we're safe for n—"

Sarah hears screeching tires and then crashing sounds through the radio. "Chuck? Chuck! Talk to me!" Sarah is scared now. She cannot do anything to help at the moment and Chuck isn't responding. "What happened? What was that noise?" Sarah asks furiously hoping to get a response. The radio is deafly silent and Sarah is now more worried than ever.

The SUV is turned on its side and Casey breaks out the windshield. "Is everyone alright?" He checks the driver's pulse and doesn't feel anything. He grunts in anger as he checks on Beckman and Chuck.

"General? You alright?" Casey asks with uneasiness.

"Yea. What the hell happened?" She asked while in pain. She had some cuts and bruises but nothing major.

"We got hit by a truck. Bartowski?" Casey goes to check on Chuck.

Chuck is disoriented and still in his seat dangling like being stuck sideways on a roller coaster. "What happened?" he asks unaware of his surroundings.

"We got hit! Can you move?" Casey asks cautiously.

"I think so," Chuck responds hesitantly, shaking his arms and legs to make sure he can feel them. Casey immediately cuts Chuck's seatbelt and he falls awkwardly to the other side of the car; which is now against the ground.

"You couldn't warn me?" Chuck asks annoyed because he just landed on his arm and will now have a bruise. Casey just grunts humorously.

"We need to get out of this car!" Casey cautiously steps out looking around to make sure it is safe for them to leave. "Lets go!" They follow him out the SUV where the other SUV's are already pulled up and the area is secured by the security team.

"Colonel Casey! The area is secure and we have a car waiting to take you and the General," the leader of the team informs Casey. Casey grunts in confusion like he expects something to be answered for him. "The man who hit you was only a civilian. We contained him and he is being held up."

"We're safe to move!" Casey instructs Beckman and Chuck as they climb into the SUV.

"Lets go! And watch the intersections!" Casey almost growls at the driver as he drives off.

"Sarah! Everyone is fine!" Chuck relieves her of her anxiety.

"Oh thank god!" She almost faints from the good news. Not only is Chuck safe but also Beckman and Casey. "What happened?" This was more of a yell and less of a curious concern.

"We got hit by a civilian and we lost Agent Glenn, the driver. Otherwise we are alright. We are on our way now. We should be there in 5." Chuck explains everything to Sarah hoping she is alright.

"I increased security here and we have a team ready to extract the General," Sarah lets them know they will be safe when they arrive. "I'll be here for you," she shows her love to Chuck.

"I love you too," Chuck translates and returns his love. Casey and Beckman both grunt in disgust at the exact same time. He looks at them almost embarrassed and just kind of shies away from any eye contact for a little.

They make it there with no more trouble. The team takes Beckman into the building. Sarah hugs Chuck almost like she thought she would never see him again. Casey again grunts repulsively.

"Good to see you too," Chuck raises his eyebrows a little surprised by her reaction. She usually kept it very professional on missions.

"I thought I lost you," she shows her desperation and worry for Chuck. Casey averts the emotional conversation that is about to ensure by walking into the building.

"It takes more than some sniper bullets and a truck to stop Charles Carmichael!" Chuck exclaims with a joke showing he is safe and still his humorous self.

She tightens the hug as she loves how he is still her lovable, comical Chuck; even after such catastrophic events just happened.

The rest of the mission went by easily. Beckman had her meeting and there weren't any complications getting her safely back to Edwards Air Force Base. She exits the SUV relieved that the nightmare is over.

"Great job on the mission," Beckman congratulates them as if she was never in danger. Casey just salutes her and Chuck and Sarah follow his lead. Beckman salutes back and turns to enter the airplane.

"General? Wait, I need to know about my mom," Chuck sounds desperate and pathetic and he knows it; he just doesn't care. He cannot take waiting any longer.

"Why don't you rest, you had a long day," she almost sounds like there is a surprise waiting for him but with Beckman, you can never be certain. She was right after all, after the accident and such; they had to wait four hours until the meeting ended.

Chuck looks at her trying to read her face but Beckman turns around and enters the plane.

"What did she mean by that?" Chuck asks Sarah and Casey hoping they have a better idea. They both look at him not quite sure either.

"I think we should just do what Beckman said," Sarah tries to get Chuck to give up on this wild goose chase for just a little while. "I'm tired; can we go home and sleep?" Sarah asks manipulatively but sincerely. She totally lied just to give Chuck another reason why they should just go home. She rests her head against Chuck's shoulder.

"Fine, lets go," Chuck embraces Sarah by wrapping his arm around her. He looks back at Casey, "You coming?" Casey flashes him a hint of anger and annoyance.

"I'm coming," he is sick of being the 'third wheel' of the team. It isn't that he wants to be with a girl, he just hates seeing his colleagues being 'friendly.'

Chuck and Sarah open the door to their apartment and see Morgan chatting it up with a woman. The woman is facing away from the door. Morgan immediately smiles exuberantly.

"Look who decided to come by?" Morgan greets Chuck and Sarah. The brunette woman turns around and immediately Chuck and Sarah know it is his mother.

"You're okay?" Chuck says in relief as he rushes to her to give her a hug. She gladly hugs him back.

"I am more worried about you. What happened to your face?" She asks seeing the cuts and dirt on him.

"I got in a bit of an accident," Chuck underplays the car crash. "I'm so glad to see you again!" Chuck is ecstatic. "You remember Sarah, right?" Sarah steps forward and smiles sincerely.

"Hi!" Sarah smiles her amazing smile and Mary smiles back.

"How's Eleanor?" Mary wants to know how her only daughter is.

"She's great. She is a doctor at UCLA and married to the top cardiologist there." Chuck happily shows how well Ellie has done. "Oh, and you can call her Ellie."

"That is wonderful!" Mary is ecstatic that Ellie has been so successful.

"You need to meet them!" Chuck is giddy with excitement. "His name is Awesome, I mean Devon. We call him Awesome because everything he does is, well, awesome."

Mary laughs and thinks how great her children ended up without any parents. Ellie has a great job with a husband who sounds like the perfect guy. Chuck is living with a girlfriend that is smart, loving, and a badass. He also has a great friend in Morgan who is loyal and great in his own ways.

"I am going to have them over for dinner!" Chuck cannot wait for Ellie to reunite with her mother. "Let me clean up a bit and then I'll tell them they have to come over," Chuck smiles at Mary as he looks down at his dirty clothes and heads for his room.

After Chuck cleans off, he walks into the living area to figure out the dinner plans.

"I don't know how to make dinner," Chuck worries himself talking to Sarah, Morgan, and Mary.

"Well, lucky for you, I was taught in the art of hibachi," Morgan steps up to the challenge.

"You are the best friend ever!" Chuck is ecstatic that he has his first chef.

"Anyone else know how to cook food?" Chuck asks worried Morgan won't be able to cook enough.

"I can make some pasta," Sarah implies knowing it isn't very hard to boil water and stir pasta in it.

"Great! What do I need to pick up at the store?" Chuck asks Sarah and Morgan.

"Noodles, stir-fry vegetables, Thai sauce!" Morgan lists the ingredients that they don't have immediately.

"Any pasta and whatever sauce you want," Sarah exclaims happily because she has never seen Chuck so happy.

"Great! I'll call Ellie on the way!" Chuck opens the front door about to leave. "You want to come, mom?" Chuck is so excited he almost forgot to ask his mother if she wants to come.

Mary shudders at the word 'mom.' She hasn't been called that in so many years, she cannot remember. "Y-yes. I would love too," she shakes off the rust and accepts.

The food is just about done and Chuck is waiting in anticipation for Ellie to reunite with her mother. Morgan has finished the stir-fry and it looks quite delicious with bean sprouts, broccoli, and chicken. The pasta is a light pesto sauce over penne pasta. Chuck is amazed by how well the food came out. It was made by a failed Benihana chef and a CIA agent and it looks restaurant grade.

The door bell rings and Chuck jumps up in excitement. Chuck swings the door open happily.

"Hey El—" Chuck sees it is Casey and Alex and Chuck sighs heavily. "Get in here!" Chuck says playfully as he pats Casey on the back. Casey grunts in annoyance. He doesn't like to be touched.

"Alex, meet my mom," Chuck recites almost like he is practicing on getting his speech right when Ellie comes.

"Hello," Mary smiles.

"Hi," Alex smiles back.

"Believe it or not, this is Casey's daughter," Chuck says as if it is surprising, although it is a surprise.

"Wow, John, the family man," Mary jokes while shaking hands with Casey. Casey hates when people call him by his first name. He only accepts his daughter and women that aren't Sarah.

The doorbell rings again and Chuck knows it is Ellie. "Ok, here we go," Chuck thinks out loud. Sarah holds his hand reassuring him that everything is fine. She goes with him to the door as Chuck opens it.

"Ellie!" Chuck screams in excitement. Ellie immediately starts checking his pupils.

"Is he alright? What did he take?" Ellie asks Sarah, concerned for her only brother. Sarah giggles.

"He is just excited," Sarah smiles beautifully.

"Come on in! The cooking is not as good as yours but I think you can manage," Chuck explains cheerfully.

"Dude, awesome!" Devon exclaims as he steps in thinking that this is really cool of Chuck to invite them over for once.

"Ellie, I need you to meet someone," Chuck says nervously. Chuck steps out of Ellie's eye sight and there sits Mary, holding a glass of wine. She puts it down.

"Ellie, I've missed you," Mary says not sure if Ellie is going to be bitter or happy.

"Mom? Is that really you?" Ellie asks surprised.

"Yes, and I am sorry for leaving you both," Mary tries to put all her emotion into it. "I honestly cannot be prouder of you and Chuck," she puts down the wine glass and walks up to Ellie.

Ellie has a look of expectation and hostility. She stands there quietly thinking if she could forgive this woman for the hardship they went through. She thought about how she was to her father and it was a similar situation. She couldn't do that again.

"I really missed you," Ellie responds after the brief moment of silence. They hug and Chuck looks at Sarah with a satisfactory smile and holds her hand. Sarah flashes a smile at him before she looks at the ground and back to Chuck. Chuck giggles at her beauty and embarrassment.

Ellie and Mary finally finish their hug and Ellie sit down next to her. Chuck and Sarah put all the food on the table and they sit down to join everyone else. They eat the food, which isn't bad for a failed hibachi chef and a CIA agent, and catch up on all they missed about their mother and all she missed about them.
