The Life of a Spy: A Chuck Fanfiction

Chapter 5

The next morning came a little too early. I groaned and buried my face in his chest. "Come on." He coaxed gently. "You need to go shower so we can go."

"Fine." I mumbled and got out of bed. I found some energy and went to take a shower. I looked down at my hip, and I could easily make out the shape of a hand print. "Seriously?" I yelled. When I came back, I was wrapped in a towel. "I thought we had a rule about leaving marks." I said, picking up my clothes off the floor.

"It's more of a, it's probably best if we don't, than a rule." He replied. "Why? What mark did I leave?" Casey asked. I dropped the towel and he couldn't stop laughing. "If it makes you feel better," he turned and showed me his back. "You left some too." He turned around and lifted up his shirt. There were bright red scratch marks down his back.

I laughed, "Fair enough."

"Here." He threw a cable company uniform at me, "Put this on. We need to be back in the suburbs this morning."

"Sounds good to me." I got dressed and threw my hair up in a ponytail. When I was done, I sat in his chair and waited for him to get ready. "You're slower than I am!" I yelled.

"I'm ready." He said, stepping into the living room. "Let's go."

"How do you know we won't run into Ellie or Awesome?" I asked, getting up.

"I checked. They slept in this morning, so they're still getting ready for work." He opened the door and we left for the Buy More to pick up the truck. "You wouldn't be interested in spending the night again, would you?" He asked, resting his hand on my knee.

"I am interested, but I think maybe we should let Ellie and Awesome see you pick me up for a date at some point in order to help build our cover story." I explained.

"Fair. Where should we go for this date?" Casey asked. "We can go anywhere we want. We just tell them that we're having dinner." I shrugged. "It doesn't have to be complicated."

"We could go shooting." He mused.

"That's a good option." When he pulled into the neighborhood, Casey took his hand off my knee. I grabbed my bag, ready to get to work. He pulled up in front of the house and parked.

"I'll sweep for bugs and you do a background on the neighbors." He told me. We knocked on the door and Sarah let us inside, putting on the act that we were there to set up the cable. I went upstairs and set up shop away from prying eyes, while Casey worked downstairs. About thirty minutes later, he came up to check on me.

"I've got a hit on one of them. He's bought a lot of this stuff." I said, showing him a picture of the wiring the guy had.

"Then we better go alert the Carmichaels of our progress." We went back downstairs and Casey asked Chuck and Sarah to come inside.

"We need you to get inside that house. Seduce the wife if you have to." I told my brother.

"That's something I never thought I'd hear come out of your mouth." Chuck paused. "Seducing her won't be a problem because she kind of already expressed interest in me..."

"You have to do it." Sarah urged.

Chuck sighed, "Fine."

We staked out the house for a little bit longer before we headed home. "He'll be fine." Casey told me as we left.

"I know." We went back to get the Crown Vic and drove back to the apartment. I changed quickly and pecked him on the cheek. "Want to go look at furniture with me?"

"I could be persuaded to go." He smirked.

"The sooner I get a bed, the sooner you get to help me break it in." I teased. That seemed to really get his attention.
