This is my first fan fiction. This takes place in series 4 when Tony is taken hostage by Mandy. I noticed there was not many Jack/Tony fics so I thought I would to the tiny collection.

Too Fast For Mistakes
Sheltered from the torrential downpour outside Jack was sitting in his car, fidgeting. He was waiting for Michelle to get her phone call. He stared at the apartments until his phone rang, startling him. Hurriedly picking it up, pushing a button, and pressing it to his ear he heard Buchcanan's voice.
"I'm going to connect you to the feed"
"Have you redeployed all your men?" Mandy asked.
Michelle replied shakily "Yes, I have"
"Are you sure they followed your instructions"
"I'm sure"
"Michelle, do you love Tony?"
"Yes I love him"
"Good 'cos if I find out your trying to play me the first thing I'll do is blow his brains out. Stay by the phone"
Jack could feel the blood pounding in his ears. Fear and anticipation rattled his bones. He wanted the woman dead, not for threatening thousands of innocent people, but for threatening the one life of Tony Almeida.
Jack's hands were shaking uncontrollably as he watched the apartment building, waiting for any sign of movement.
The phone rang for the second time. He reached for it but found it difficult to pick it up since his hands were shaking worse than the phone. In the end, he managed, gently, to press the phone to his ear. He answered how he always did, saying 'Bauer' in a gruff voice. Only this time he realised the thing shaking worst was his voice. It seemed so weak and scared he did not want people to see or hear him in this fragile state. A wave of relief washed over him when he heard Mandy talking to Michelle. No one had heard him at his worst. Yet.
"If I see any of your men, don't forget now, I'll blow his brains out"
"Yes I know"
"I have a gun pointed at him, my finger on the trigger, if anyone tries anything you know what'll happen"
Jack watched as two figures, Tony and his captor, walked out of the building and towards an idle car. The pair reached the car and one of them pushed the other down and into the car then climbed in. What happened next happened fast.
"I see you men Michelle, you lied to me. You're not going to take me alive, got it!"
Jack's heart stopped when the car exploded into flames.
Dun Dun Duuuun… and you think you know what is going to happen.
