I used to like 'Chuck' the action comedy show and having Yvonne Strahovski to look at always improved whatever show she's in. It's just a shame it was NBC and not HBO. I wrote this to play on the humour of the show and kept reasonably close to the original characters.
I originally wrote this in 2015. Before I began publishing on this site. As I'm blitzing publishing my finished stories, here is one I hope you enjoy.
Chuck vs the Hard-on - Scene 1
Scene opens with Chuck, in a tux, rushing into a hotel room, throwing his back against the door to close it.
"Did you get it? Did you get the key?" Sarah asks, turning towards him in a slinky dress and high heels.
"Yes." He holds up the key. "But we may have a problem. They may have seen me take it."
"What! How did that happen? We told you exactly what to do."
"I know, I know, I panicked. I saw the key and there wasn't anyone about..."
"Chuck, how could you? We went through the plan over and over."
"Much as I'd love to be lectured, yet again, our problems are a little more urgent than that. Mastiff's men followed me."
"How much time have we got?" The banging on the door answers that.
"Carmichael, open up. We know you're in there." A British accent comes through the door.
"Hide the gun and follow my lead." Whispers chuck.
The banging intensifies as Walker slips her gun from her purse and under a pillow.
"Ok, ok guys, I'm busy here." Chuck drawls in a poor accent while opening the door.
"Why'd you fink you could get away with it? Nicking the boss's key right from under our noses?" The smallest of the thugs asks, leading in two more hulking men.
"Hey, I wasn't stealing it. I was just checking how good your security was."
"So, why did you run off?" All eyes are suspiciously looking at Sarah.
"I remembered I had this hottie here." Chuck gestures to Walker.
"And you are?" The ring leader steps up to Sarah and ogles her figure, barely hidden in the dress.
Sarah opens her mouth to reply, but Chuck cuts her off. "She's just a hooker."
Sarah snaps her mouth shut in surprise as the three thugs grin lasciviously at her.
"Christ! With a body like hers, she must cost a bleedin' fortune."
"She's priceless." Chuck replies with feeling, before catching himself and switching back to character. "I mean, you wouldn't believe what she charges!"
Cocking her hip and putting a hand on it. "You get what you pay for boys." Sarah replies in a husky voice.
"I'm sure me and the boys here could chip in." The leader grins back.
"Sorry, I don't do group bookings." She smiles condescendingly.
"Well, that leaves just one problem. See, her bein' here is just a little too convenient. I think we're going to have to search her before we kick her to the curb. Bob, check her purse." One goon grabs her purse and rummages through it.
"Is that necessary?" Sarah asks. "I certainly can't hide anything in this dress." All eyes run over Sarah's body, covered by the black silk sheath of the dress. Bob tosses the searched bag on the pillow, shaking his head. The short Brit steps up to her, barely coming up to her nose in her high heels.
"I always believe in bein' thorough." He grabs her wrist.
"Wait! I have the key." Chuck cries, holding it up.
"Shame I was looking forward to that. Ok girlie, grab your bag and fuck off."
Sarah glances at Chuck, who nods imperceptibly. As she leans over the bed, stretching to grab her bag, Chuck steps up behind her.
"It's more than a shame. I paid her upfront and didn't even get a blow job." He flips up the back of her dress, exposing her perfect ass, naked but for a miniscule thong.
All the men's eyes are glued to the magnificent sight when Chuck whips his hand out and slaps it, hard. Sarah's squeal of pain is lost in the laughing of the men, and Chuck pulls the dress back again. Stepping away from the glaring Sarah, he hands the key over.
"I'm almost tempted to let you get one. You know, like a last request. Mastiff isn't going to like you takin' that key. It's a very special one, but he's not a patient man. You, piss off!" He directs Sarah.
She rushes from the room and heads down to Casey in the van, worrying about Chuck.
"So, Walker, what did numb nuts do this time?" Casey asks as Walker slips into the van. Despite their time together, he can't help but check her out in the slinky dress.
"He went off the plan and palmed the key and was spotted doing it." She replies, putting on headphones.
"So, a typical Bartowski move."
"Yes, 100% Chuck."
"Well, at least he's still wearing his watch. We can track him." Casey replies, flipping switches. "Did you have time to look at the key before they took it?"
"No, I didn't even get a chance to photograph it." Sarah adds. Frustrated.
"Even an impression in soap would've helped."
"That's it!" She replies, realising Chuck's plan.
"Chuck slapped my ass before they took him away."
"Hey, I don't care what you and your boy toy get up to, as long as it's not company time."
"No, you don't understand. Here, look at my ass." She stands and lifts her dress and presents it to Casey.
Even Casey is impressed by her butt.
"Can you see it?" She queries, looking over her shoulder.
"What? Oh I see. That's clever Bartowski. I can see an outline of the key. Just a second. I need to get a picture."
"What?" Cries Sarah, alarmed, seeing Casey pull out his phone.
"Relax Walker, I need a picture to upload to the computer." He lines up the phone and snaps a close up on the mark. Then leans back, taking another of her whole ass in all its glory. "That's one for the Christmas Party!" He thinks.
"Are you done?" Sarah asks peeved.
"Yeah, you can put it away." As she pulls her dress back, he grins as he plugs his phone into the computer. "Remind me again why we need this key?"
Sitting again, she checks Chuck's location. "The key opens the door to Mastiff's compound, and hopefully we'll find that by tracking Chuck. Our intel says the door is booby trapped and any attempt to use anything other than the correct key results in an instant death."
"Well, the good news is we have a match for the key. I can knock that up in less than five minutes." Casey replies, popping his head phones.
"And I have a likely location. Let's go rescue Chuck!"
"Again!" Casey added.
Scene 2 - Colonel Casey is unconscious and tied to a strange metal device
"Casey! Wake up." Sarah urges.
"What, what happened?" comes the sluggish reply from Casey.
"It was gas! I've been awake for a couple of minutes. Why are you so groggy? I thought you're trained to resist gas."
"I am, but I was the one stuck in the van with an empty stomach while you were ordering room service. You didn't think to send something out to me?"
"It would have broken our cover. Can you remember what happened?"
"Yeah. We got through the door into a long, brightly lit corridor. We'd only gone a few paces when steel doors dropped in front and behind us. The lights went out, and I heard gas. Where are we?"
"Looks like a detention cell. We're strapped on something weird and I can't get out. How about you?" Casey struggles with his bonds. Worryingly, they are strapped to a near vertical metal table that reminds them of a morgue table. Arms secured by their wrists above their head and ankles similarly spread and secure.
The door opens and in comes the short British thug and a tall thin man with foppish hair and a hook nose. The taller man points to Casey. "Don't bother Colonel, those devices you're strapped to are far stronger than even you and the restraints have a high tensile cable running through them. With the press of a button, I can get them to exert twenty thousand kilos of force. What's that in American? Oh, let's just say I could pop off the offending limb like this."
Something in the device buzzes and Casey grunts in pain as his right wrist is slowly crushed. "But where are my manners?" The buzzing stops and Casey lets out a long gasp of air.
"My name is Mastiff."
"You're not Mastiff!" Casey replies before he could catch himself.
"I presume that's because of the few photographs I've allowed to be taken. No, the short and hairy man you have on record is just a bodyguard. He assumes the role when we meet new clients. He's a good thug, excellent killer and a not ungifted actor, but not a genius."
"And you're a genius?" Casey asks derogatory.
"Well, you're the one restrained within my compound. That at least proves I'm not the incompetent one. But perhaps I can persuade you of more. You are Colonel John Casey and your partner is Sarah Walker. I could tell you the name Sarah was actually born under and how many men you have killed Colonel, both reported and those you missed off the reports."
"Neat party trick, can you guess the number I'm thinking of?" Casey taunts.
"Now Colonel, don't spoil my generous mood. It's such a pleasure to have two such valuable and surprise visitors."
"You won't get anything from us!" Shoots back Sarah, alarmed that anyone could find her true name.
"Incorrect, my dear. You might be trained against conventional torture and drugs, but there are always ways in. And once I've drained all your secrets, I can sell you off to any number of foreign governments or less reputable organisations. In your case, Sarah, I could sell you even if you knew nothing, and I didn't already have a queue of bidders looking for revenge."
