Shadows of the Past
James Heller was a traitor. Federal Agent Jack Bauer couldn't believe it. Not after formally working for the man and marrying his daughter. Jack pushed the thoughts out of his head he had to focus. Heller had taken a known terrorists name off of the no fly list. Now Sunil Fyar had entered LAX. CTU had almost captured him two hours before at a safe house he had established. Unfortunately when the team had arrived Fyar was already on his way to the airport. It wasn't until CTU had seen him on an airport security camera they knew his location. Now Jack Bauer was leading an assault team through the airport. CTU had tried to ground all planes but airport security claimed there was no evidence to do so. Jack had men covering all the exits. Waiting in the airport lobby he quickly called CTU.
"CTU, O'brien." Answered Chloe O'brien.
"Chloe are you ready with the video feeds?" Jack quickly asked.
"Yeah Jack, just keep in mind that there is twenty second delay in the video." Chloe warned Jack.
"Alright, do you have his location?"
"Hold on. It looks like he's in Terminal A, Gate 15." Chloe explained.
Jack ran through the crowded airport as fast as he could. Not even stopping after knocking a man down.
"I'm approaching Gate B now, where's his exact location?" Jack was anxious.
"He's sitting next to the windows, third row of chairs, fifth seat down. He's wearing a black leather jacket with a red baseball cap on." Chloe informed Jack.
Jack scanned the chairs and found his target. He had the advantage in this situation. Jack was glad because he rarely did. Not wanting to attract attention he waved his team back and left his weapon holstered. He leisurely crept up behind the man.
"Put your hands up and turn around slowly. I'm a federal agent." Jack yelled.
The man jumped and then rose with his hands in the air. Turning around Jack could clearly see the man was an American. Fyar must have given this man his jacket and hat.
"Dammit!!! All teams, he's on to us. I repeat Fyar knows we're here." Jack frustratingly said.
CTU
Los Angeles
Bill Buchanan, director of CTU, sat in holding room three across from James Heller. Bill felt betrayed by the man who he had once respected as the Secretary of Defense. He could tell Heller was nervous. He knew that would make things easier.
"Why did you take Fyar's name off the no fly list?" Buchanan asked in a stern voice.
"I don't know. He never told me."
"Who?" Bill wanted an answer.
"I never got a name. We always would talk over a secure line. He disguised his voice too."
"I was out alone one night when a man approached me. He attacked me and gave me a cell phone. He said if I didn't help him they would kill my family."
"And you believed him?"
"Not at first, it wasn't until my son found a cobra in his apartment. Luckily he wasn't hurt. After that I began cooperating with them."
"And in the process betraying your own country." Bill said in anger.
"Listen I love this country but a mans family is more important than anything." Heller yelled.
Bill was surprised by a knock on the door. Getting up he nodded to the guard in the room to watch Heller closely. Bill slid his keycard and unlocked the door. Milo Pressman stood outside with a look of concern on his face.
"What is it, Milo?"
"I've been monitoring LAPD communications today. About a half an hour ago Richard Heller was found dead in his apartment from a gunshot wound to the head. The Police think it was suicide."
"My God."
