AN: Thanks to everyone for reading. Also thanks for those who have reviewed. This is the last chapter of this fic. Don't worry if all the issues haven't been resolved in this story. They will be discussed in further stories. This series has been my idea of how the season could have gone. The next fic will be Chuck vs. the Stalker. I will be trying to work on the Comic Con fic which will be Chuck vs the Ewoks which will take place between seasons 1&2. Also a couple of notes in response to some of the reviews. I am a fan of the Morgan character. However since this was told through the pov of different characters (mainly Sarah) they would have a different view of him. In regards to Sarah 'whoring around' I try to address it a little here. She was having a nightmare where her worst fears are being reflected. One last thing, at the end of the chapter, I'll give a few hints as to where I will be focusing the series from here. So once again thanks all.

Spoiler: Everything up to ep 3x15

Disclaimer: I don't own Chuck

Epilogue: Traps

He watches the surveillance video of Team B capturing the Reynolds. This had worked out as he had hoped. He knew that other members of the Ring would not see it this way. There were some of the higher ups that were panicking. The Reynolds siblings being captured was another loss in a downward spiral along with the Director being captured and Daniel Shaw's death after turning on the CIA. He didn't see it that way. There was nothing lost that couldn't be recaptured or replaced.

Still others saw the loss of the Director and Shaw as a sign that the Ring was in trouble. He had stopped trying to convince them otherwise. He just knew better. The Director had become too focused on Daniel. The Director had foolishly believed that by turning Daniel into a Ring agent, the CIA would be badly crippled. The Director, like other Ring agents, had come to see Daniel as a CIA boogeyman. He didn't. He had known Daniel for too long to be afraid of him. Sure Daniel had his moments and could be a very good spy especially skulking in the dark shadows that Daniel had been in for the last few years. However, Daniel suffered under the allusion that he was so much superior to his peers. However, he knew that like any boogeyman, he just needed to sign a light on Daniel and everyone would see the real man. Now that Daniel was gone, the Ring could focus on the real threat.

They were a formidable team. However, they fell into the perfect trap. Sure Team Bartowski, as Daniel said they were named, may have won the battle but that was the beauty of this trap. They had already lost by just showing up.

He turns to the photo lying on the desk. He glances at it for a few seconds before looking at the dossier he had compiled. He looks over his notes and his initial assessment of her. Justin then glances back at the picture of Eleanor Faye Bartowski; the perfect trap.

She looks at her reflection in the bathroom mirror. The woman staring back at her looks healthy. There is no sign of the cold she had. She hopes she is never sick again. She doesn't know if her relationship with Chuck can handle it. It was now just about forty-eight hours since the hotel incident. Luckily, she literally slept the entire day yesterday. The whole excursion to the hotel and the medicine had done a number on her. She has no memory of getting back to the apartment from the hotel. The first thing she remembers is waking up last night around 7:00pm. She was slightly disappointed to find Chuck sitting in a chair on his computer instead of in bed holding her. When he realized that she was awake, he did take care of her but he was quiet and slightly distant. She didn't want to press so she remained quiet as well. She was relieved when Chuck came to bed later that night and wrapped his arms around her.

However, he was no where to be seen when she woke up. He had left early that morning which was unusual for him. Sarah knew she messed up. There had to be something she could do to make things right. She made a call.

Her guilt was only amplified when Ellie came by to check on her. Ellie was still worried about her and was relieved that Sarah was doing so well. What was worse for Sarah was the cover story that had been told to Ellie. They had managed to get back to apartment before Ellie woke from the tranq. Chuck ended up moving Ellie to the couch where she woke believing that she had fallen asleep while she was supposed to be watching Sarah. It made sense considering that Ellie was taking care of Sarah, worrying over Devon, adjusting to being back from Africa, unpacking, and trying to get back her fellowship. Ellie, of course, was feeling bad for falling asleep while caring for Sarah. She apparently spent last night baking food and brought them for Sarah. If Sarah thought she couldn't possibly feel worse, she was proven wrong when she noticed Ellie slightly grimace when she sat down.

Sarah knew she needed to make things right with both Chuck and Ellie. She knew she had to take drastic action which meant doing something she had been desperately trying to avoid. She agreed to go have a Girl's Day Out with Ellie. There was something about being alone with Ellie that put her on edge even if it was just for a minute. An entire day seemed like torture. Sarah couldn't explain it. Ellie was always so friendly with her but there were moments when Ellie would ask her a question. She would give Sarah this look that made Sarah think that if Ellie thought the response wasn't correct, she would go to Chuck and tell him to drop Sarah like a bad habit. Sarah saw how much Ellie's opinion meant to Chuck and part of her wondered what would happen if Ellie ever disapproved of her.

She couldn't think that way. All of these negative thoughts were not helping. She was still feeling the effects of the nightmare. This is why she hated dealing with her feelings. The nightmare had brought up things that she tried not to think about. Of course, Shaw was there telling her all the things she had said to herself all of her worst fears. He was saying all the things she feared Chuck would think of her if she really ever opened up to him. She had done things in the moment without thinking or even caring about the future. She didn't feel ashamed of them at the time. Now, though, she looks back at them and worries how others will judge her. Would Ellie really want her brother to be with a woman like her? Would Chuck? And lately, as she imagines a future with Chuck, she wonders if they had children what would they think of her? Would they hate her? Would they be ashamed of her? Children were never part of the equation when she started in the CIA nor was a man like Chuck. It was easier then to do those things without second thoughts. Now all she has are second thoughts.

She shakes her head and looks at herself in the mirror, then looks down at her outfit; perfect. She picked up the trench coat and put it on. She made sure that nothing could be seen as she buttoned up. She puts the other items she will need for later in her pocket. She made sure there was nothing that gave away anything. After all this was Plan B, only to be used if Plan A didn't work. Actually, if Plan A worked she still planned on using Plan B.

She walks into their bedroom to find Chuck sitting on the bed. He is fiddling with his fingers. He's nervous. It's apparent that this is going to be an important conversation.

"Sarah, I…"

"No, Chuck please let me. I am so sorry for acting the way I was acting. I am so ashamed for the way I behaved. I was…"

"Sarah, don't. You don't need to apologize. You were heavily medicated. We've all stupid things under the influence of really strong medicine."

"Chuck, with or without the medicine I am pretty sure I would have not acted rationally. My aim might have been better. I don't know what came over me. The thought of some other woman kissing you was driving me insane. I know it's not fair for me to be jealous. I should have been professional. I have watched other people I was involved with do these types of mission and you have had to see me flirt and try to seduce a mark. But this time it was different. All I kept thinking is that man I love is going to be kissing this other woman. I kept imagining all these scenarios where you would have to sleep with her. I was having bad dreams imaging that you would decide that the James Bond type of spy life is what you wanted and… Chuck?"

She saw Chuck's face go blank and then he began to look at her with such wonder.

"What did you say?" Sarah was confused by what caused this reaction. She was silent not knowing what Chuck meant. "You said you were thinking about the man you loved kissing another woman. I'm the man you love?"

Sarah saw the look in Chuck's eyes. It was so hopeful and it looked like his eyes were watering.

"Yes." She felt her eyes started to become watery.

"Please say it. Sarah, please."

Sarah could see just how important this was to Chuck. She closed her eyes for a second before opening them again and looking right at Chuck.

"You are the man I love." She kisses Chuck softly. "I love you."

Sarah sees a tear running down his cheek. He kisses her again.

"I love you too Sarah Walker."

Sarah can see that perfect smile on Chuck's face and she help but kiss him again. The kiss is slow but passionate. Neither party was trying to end it but also not moving it forward. They are content to be kissing the other. Finally needing to breathe, the kiss ends. They rest their foreheads together.

"Close your eyes." Chuck gives a questioning look to Sarah but complies. Sarah takes a step back and puts on the finishing touches. She gets her hair perfect and unbuttons the trench coat. "Go ahead and open your eyes."

The coat hit's the floor as does Chuck's jaw. Sarah smiles knowing that she has given her boyfriend quite a thrill. She knew how much he liked her old work uniform. So now she stands before him with her hair in pigtails wearing a nice replica of her old Wienerlicious outfit.

"See something you like?" She almost laughs out loud at Chuck expression as he just nods. She grabs his hands and places them on her hips. He now applies light pressure on her hips as he gently grips her.

"Wow, I thought you said you didn't have the outfit anymore."

"I don't. I told you that the CIA can make any outfit plus doesn't smell."

"Perfect replica down to the last detail." She gives Chuck a mischievous smile as she takes one of his hands in hers.

"Well, not everything is the same." She guides the hand under the skirt. She ducks her head so that she can whisper in his ear. "I'm not wearing any underwear."

At that exact moment, she lets Chuck feel that she is telling the truth.

"You are the best girlfriend ever." A big smile breaks out on Sarah's face and she closes her eyes as she is about to kiss Chuck again. However, before their lips meet Chuck has pushed her away. She opens her eyes and is about to say something. However, the words stop short of coming out as she sees Chuck's expression.

Then it happens. He sneezes, over and over again. When he finishes, his nose is running and his eyes are watery for a whole different reason. He has an apologetic expression that tells Sarah what exactly his next words are going to be. Before he opens his mouth, Sarah does the most logical thing anyone in her position would be expected to do:

She cusses really, really loudly.

Casey can't believe that he is here. However, Ellie had stopped by and said it was important. He finally relented. He figured putting up with the other yahoos would be worth it for a great home cooked meal. So he sits with the troll and the frat boy as Ellie is moving about. There is just idle chatter but that stops as a voice from the other apartment can be heard.

"Fuck!"

The four turn their heads in the direction of the noise.

"Whoa, didn't think Chuck had it in him. Awesome!" The frat boy seems to be looking for someone to high five and finds Grimes willing. Casey just grunts. He really doesn't need to keep being reminded of Walker and Bartowski's extra special partner training sessions. Ellie at least looks as uncomfortable as him. She sits down across from Casey and he can see her flinch slightly as she sits down. Their attention is once again turned to the other apartment as they hear Chuck saying Sarah's name loudly a couple of times with the last one coming out as a really loud moan.

Ellie clears her throat to get everyone's attention back to her.

"Okay, the real reason that we are here is for you John." Casey's guard instantly comes up at this. All eyes turn to him. "We are concerned for you. I have spoken to Morgan, Devon, Sarah and Chuck and they all have stories about your drinking and other assorted activities. We are here to help John. This is your intervention."

Casey looks from Morgan to Devon. Both have stupid dumbass smiles on their faces. He looks to Ellie and sees that she seems genuinely concerned. Once again he hears noise coming from Bartowski's' apartment that make him want to grab his gun.

He really hates this assignment.
