The following takes place between 8:00 PM and 9:00 PM. All events occur in real time.

My name is Jack Bauer, and this is the longest day of my life.

The Phone rang once.

Twice.

Three Times.

"CTU DC, Special Agent Nathalie Crocker speaking." Answered a young woman in her late twenties. She had thick brown hair and greyish coloured eyes.

"Hello Agent Crocker. My name is Agent Michelle Dessler of CTU LA. Can i speak to your director, please?"

"Sure thing Agent Dessler. Just hold on a second." She replied. "Hey Harvey, Agent Michelle Dessler in on the phone, needing to talk to you."

"Patch her in." Supervisory Special Agent Kim Harvey yelled back to Natalie. She pressed the patch in button and listened to the muffled greeting in her boss' room. Natalie doesn't even know how she got the job. Once she had graduated from University, an old friend of her's told her to work for the CIA, but more specifically, The Counter Terrorism Unit of Washington DC, The place where agents get the most action.

"Hey Nat, Early morning today?" Asked Natalie's friend and co-working Cory Wilson.

"Oh yeah. Harvey called me in to work at 5:00 this morning. Hey, have you ever herd of an Agent Michelle Dessler before?" She asked, wondering who that lady was.

"Michelle Dessler? She works for CTU LA, she's actually the Director for the place. That's where Jack Bauer works." Cary told her. Jack Bauer. Holy Crap! Any CTU agent around the country would KILL to meet with Jack Bauer, even if her did threaten to kill and torture them. "Hey, Harvey's comin' our way." Cory quickly slid into his seat.

"Nat. That was Agent Michelle Dessler of CTU LA. She wanted an Agent down to see how good we truly are, hence I've boasted so many times to her. And since you have such a great track record, Im sending you. I printed this off for you, so all you have to do is show it to the workers and you should be fine. Your plane leaves tomorrow morning at 6:00, and you should arrive at around 7:00 at night. Another agent will be picking you up. Good luck agent, and have fun.

8:30 PM.

Natalie finally got home, with excitment and Axiety bubbling inside her. When she finally got inside her house she let out a huge scream. "OH MY GOD! I'M GOING TO MEET JACK BAUER!" Someone came running down the hallways to see what happened.

"My God Nat, what happened?" Asked her 26 year old sister Erin. "Did you just save the USA from another terrorist bombing or what?"

"Im going to LA in the morning, and I'm working with CTU LA for a few weeks. I'm so flippin' excited! I'm gonna meet Jack Bauer!" She responded excitedly.

"Can I come?!" She asked. "I've never been there before! I can get a ticket. It's the middle of the week, in the middle of fall, I'm sure I can get a seat."

"Sure, but you have to stay outta CTU, or they'll probably scare you out. We don't like intruders." Natalie joked with her.

"Oh hahaha. Im going to the airport to pick up tickets. Be back In a few hours." Erin said sarcastically. Natalie waved.

"Your not allowed driving my Porche, that was my prestent for becoming class valadictorian, unlike some people. Use you crappy Toyota."

"Damn It!" Erin yelled. Natalie laughed at the pain she caused her sister. Sucker.

8:45 PM.

"Hello Jack." Greeted Chloe. "You look great today."

"No Chloe, I am not going out on a date with you." Jack responded walking past Chloe O'Brian's desk.

"Damn." She mumbled.

Jack unlocked his office and hung up his beige coat. He took a seat at his desk when Tony Almeida strutted in.

"Ever herd of knocking, Tony. It's a funny thing, but takes alot of training." Said Jack sarcastically.

"Michelle just contacted CTU DC. Their sending an agent down so they can show their agents are better then ours. That means that we are comparing you to some 29 year old Girl." Tony told his friend Jack was consumed in laughter.

"Their comparing me to a girl?! Man, that is halarious. But If we were to compare her to you, man, she would kick your ass." Jack joked with Tony.

"Dude, I herd she's pretty tough. She's DC's best Agent. And she's hot. You need a new girlfriend. Your just lonley, thats why your so violent all the time." Tony joked back.

************

8:57.

Natalie's cell phone rang. "Hello?"

"Hey Natt, It's Jon. Wanna go to New York Tomorrow? I was going to pick up tickets." Her Friend Jon told her. Jon Raynard was Natalie and Erin's Best Friend from school.

"Im sorry Jon, I'm Going to LA for a few weeks, since your already driving there, why don't you pick yourself up a ticket, Im sure Erin would love you to come with us.

"Fine. I guess I'll go with you." He sighed.

"Thats my boy." Natalie laughed. See yeah in the morning."
