Michelle Dessler had a dream. This dream involved her death. She suddenly awoke in a cold sweat. "What wrong, Chelle?", Tony said alarmingly. "I'm fine, Tony, go back to sleep.", She reassured. That morning, Michelle awoke to a beautiful sunny day. However, the day would become a long and hard day for her.

7:02:05am

Tony and Michelle were also watching CNN as they prepared their breakfasts. "This is horrible.", Michelle said with disgust as she poured milk into her coffee. "I should see if they need any help at CTU.", Michelle said as she reached for the phone. "No, we're retired from there.", Tony said as he slammed down the phone. Michelle refuses to listen to Tony and grabs her keys.

"Michelle, don't go.", Tony says as he grabs her arm. "Tony, I'll be ok. I'll call you when I get there.", Michelle said as she walks out the door. "Rick, it's Tony. I have to reschedule our meeting because I have to go somewhere with Michelle, so I apolo...Shit!", Tony said as an explosion threw him backwards. Realizing that Michelle hadn't left yet, he races out the door to find Michelle's car in pieces and Michelle on the grass. "Oh, my god. Sweetie, stay with me.", Tony said as he clutches her body. "Tony, if something happens, I love you.", Michelle said.

"O'Brien.", Chloe said as she answers the phone. "Chloe, you need to get here.", Edgar said as his voice trailed. "Michelle and Tony were severly injured by a car bomb about 8 minutes ago.", Edgar finished with a sadness in his voice. "Oh, my god.", Chloe said as she rushed into CTU.

"This is Jack.", Jack said as he answered his cell. "Jack, it's Chloe. I'm sorry for breaking protocol, but this is very important.", Chloe said. "Go on, what is it?", Jack said curiously. "Michelle and Tony are critically injured in an explosion.", Chloe said. "I'll be at CTU soon.", Jack said.
