Accidentally in ….Marriage
Jack had been on a stake out for the past 2 weeks in Las Vegas. He had orders to watch a new terrorist cell that had just moved into town and if anything got out of hand he was told to 'deal' with it.
To begin with he thought it might have been good for him to get away from LA after everything that had happened. That was until Bill suggested he take Chloe along with him for extra back up and tech support.
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
"Bill? Why the hell do I need to take Chloe with me…I mean why her of all people??" he said rather loudly in Bill's office.
"..Because she is the best tech person we have and I think she would be good company for you.."
"Chloe? Company? Bill have you ever talked to her?!?"
"..And she will keep you in line!! She's going Jack whether you like it or not"
"..Not!! Defiantly Not!!" He mumbled under his breath.
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
So here Jack was cooped up in the world's smallest hotel room with Chloe 'I hate most of the day' O'Brien.
Well the room only seemed small to Jack. To Chloe it was bigger than her apartment. There were 2 bedrooms, a kitchen, bathroom, Living area and a dinning room. All she could think about was how she could barely swing a cat in her place and the fact that yesterday morning she saw Jack walking out of the shower wrapped in only a towel. Let's just say her mind was a little messed up.
"Jack mark 3 just entered the room" Chloe was sat looking through a night scope into the building facing their hotel.
"20.00 Hours like clock work. I think I'm starting to like this guy" Jack said with a small smile.
"I don't think now is the time to be joking around Jack. I'm pretty sure that guy is the leader of the world's next terrorist fret."
"Chloe will you lighten up please! We have been in this room for 2 weeks and I'm pretty sure I haven't seen you smile once."
"Okay Jack if it makes you happy I will fake a little smile for you" with that Chloe plastered a grin on her face that made her look insane but this made Jack laugh quietly to himself. Maybe Chloe wasn't that bad after all.
Chloe continued to look out the window when suddenly something spooked her.
"Shit Jack get down, get down!!"
"What's happened? What's wrong?" Jack said sounding desperate while kneeling on the floor next to Chloe who was very ungracefully laid flat on her stomach.
"I'm pretty sure…let's say 90-95 sure that mark 1 and mark 3 just saw me looking at them"
He screamed at her "Damn it Chloe!! What the hell did I tell you?!? Be careful, don't look for too long, and keep your god damn head down."
"I know Jack I know…but shouting at me is not going to solve this situation"
"Right okay! Grab your jacket we have to get out of here" He sounded a little calmer now.
With that both Jack and Chloe grabbed their jackets and fled the room as fast as they could. They got in the elevator reached the hotel lobby and ran outside to the front of the hotel.
"Chloe I need you to do something for me and I don't want any arguments."
"What?"
"I need you to hold my hand" His voice sounded soft and calm.
Chloe thought for a second about the hell she should kick up with him but then she thought how nice it would be to hold Jack Bauer's hand. So with that she grabbed his hand and wrapped her fingers up in his.
"I can't believe you actually listened to me" A smile came across his face.
"Yea well…."
"Come on we can't stand here all day…we are going to walk down the strip hand in hand like we are head over heels in love and can't get enough of each other...I know it will be hard but you have to try Chloe!"
Chloe could hear the urgency in his voice and felt like telling him there was no need to worry. She knew how to act in love with him because she had adored him for years.
"Okay…I will try"
They started to walk quickly but calmly down the strip as if nothing was wrong. Jack kept squeezing Chloe's hand every now and again to reassure her that everything was going to be okay.
They turned the corner when Jack suddenly let go of Chloe's hand. He looked her dead in the eye.
"Chloe they are following us. We have to run. What ever you do…do not look back"
Chloe nodded and as Jack started to run she followed him dead on his heel.
Just when Chloe thought that her legs were going to drop off Jack ducked into a building and she followed him in.
I don't think either of them realised that they had just entered 'Randy's House of Love' a 24 hour wedding chapel.
