Authors note: The following is a bit of fan parody fiction off of a hit television show called "Chuck". If the reader has never seen the show, this author strongly recommends checking an episode out before continuing, as being familiar with the characters parodied below will only enhance the experience.
This first chapter starts out slow, builds up at the end. If anyone reads this, likes it and wants more, I'll write chapter two, and it will be much hotter, faster.
*
Chuck knew he was in danger. True, he wasn't a trained spy, like his cover girlfriend Sarah or her creepy NSA counterpart Casey, but he'd gotten into enough tricky situations to have developed a sensitive set of hairs on the back of his neck. Hairs that were standing on end right about now.
He took a gulp, recalled the limited training he had received so far. He brought his pistol back up, turned his body a bit to make less of a target, and moved into the abandoned building. It was darker inside than it was outside, and he stumbled over a discarded piece of wood on the floor. The noise it made as his foot moved it made him cringe: the night was otherwise dead silent all around him.
He started wishing he could be somewhere else. How did he ever get himself into these situations? He'd even take a boring shift at the Nerd Herd desk right now, anything other than freezing his ass off, wandering around with a loaded gun in a dark, empty old building, looking for trouble.
His mind drifted to Sarah, her shining blonde hair, her beautiful blue eyes, the body you would expect from a twenty-something CIA agent. He felt a tightening in his crotch as his mind replayed various images of that body. They had never really...uh...consummated...their cover relationship, a thought the polite Chuck very seldom even thought. But a man, even one as polite as Chuck, could only take so much. So many glimpses, so many teasing moments...
"Freeze!"
That's certainly not Sarah behind me. Chuck thought forlornly as he dropped his weapon and put up his hands.
"Now, turn around." The voice ordered.
Chuck turned around, hands still up. Casey stood there, a disgusted expression on his face. Not that Casey ever really wore any other kind of expression, but, this time it was especially disgusted. The NSA agent was training a gun on Chuck's head, a thing that had happened many times before without (sadly, for Casey) the opportunity to pull the trigger.
"Bartowski!" Casey barked. "Idiot. Besides letting yourself be surprised and apprehended, you also turned around and surrendered without trying for my weapon. Do you remember anything we taught you?"
"Uh...yes." Chuck stammered.
"Good." Casey replied. "Now, turn around again, and this time, try to disarm me."
"Can we skip that part?" Chuck asked tentatively.
"Do it." Casey grumbled. "I promise, I won't break a bone in you." He added with a fake smile.
Chuck slowly turned back around, then almost instantly spun back, pivoted towards Casey, grabbed the gun and the arm holding it and twisted.
Casey reflexively shook Chuck off, but as Chuck fell he kicked out, knocking Casey off balance and taking him to the floor with him. That didn't matter much because Casey already had the pistol trained back on Chuck's head and this time, he pulled the trigger.
"Bang. You're dead." Casey said.
Chuck gave a very nervous laugh.
Lights started coming on all around and a door, previously hidden in a darkened corner of the room they had been standing in, opened. Several people came out, including Major Conant, one of the NSA's head agent trainers, and Sarah Walker, the cause of the softcore fantasy Chuck had been enjoying when Casey had struck.
Conant had some harsh words for Chuck's less-than-stellar performance. Actually, Conant reflected, Chuck had done alright until he entered the mock-up abandoned building in the NSA's giant training simulator.
