Chapter 1: Pain

The henchmen followed their GPS monitor into the basement of the clinic. There was no sign of Jack, but they find the tracker that was removed from the chip. The men saw Jack running outside and one of their cars caught him. One of the men named Ronnie Stark shot Jack with a taser. He fell to the ground. On Stark's orders, the men carried Jack's limp body back into the clinic.

Once back in the clinic, The men stripped Jack and searched his clothes with a metal detector. They induced him to vomit, and ran the metal detector over the excrement.

'this isnt going to be easy...' Jack thought to himself, then looked to the man called Stark, he was taking out a medical case full of scissors and scalpels.

Before he could do anything though, He received a call from Peter Kingsley, who was currently flying in a helicopter over Los Angeles. Kingsley seemed to already have known that the man they were holding is Jack Bauer. He asked to speak to Jack. Kingsley explained to Jack that he needed that chip, badly, and he would give any price to get it. Jack refused. Kingsley instructed Stark to get Jack to break quickly because they do not have much time.

Stark dipped a scalpel in ammonia then moved to Jack. He showed the scalpel to Jack before he sliced into his abdomen. Jack's scream of pain was muffled by the gag in his mouth.

Stark opened yet another wound in Jack's side but Jack was defiant and stubborn. Stark then took a hot cauterizer, he showed it to Jack, showing how hot it was by burning a hole into a water bottle, then burned Jack in the spot where he had been cut. Jack screamed in pain through the gag until he lost his breath. One of the other henchmen pulled Stark off to prevent him from killing Jack. Stark's cell phone then rang. It was Kingsley, again, checking on the status of the chip. Stark said he was still working on it.

Stark ordered the men to wake Jack up. He brought up the topic of Kim, suggesting that Jack wouldn't want his daughter to be an orphan. Stark had one of his men hit Jack with the taser. Jack writhed in pain.

'And now i am going to die...' Jack thought to himself, knowing Stark he would push him to death. Stark instructed the man to do it again, but the man said that Jack is no good to them if he was dead. Stark took the taser with his own hands and did it himself.

Jack's eyes rolled to the back of his head and his body went slack. Stark ordered the men to wake him up, but when they snapped poppers under Jack's nose, he did not stir. One of the men pronounced Jack to be dead. With concern rising, Stark told the men to cut Jack's binds and let him down. Stark frantically administered CPR on Jack, and yelled for the men to find epinephrine.

While Stark shocked Jack's chest with a defibrillator, one of his henchmen searched the clinic for epinephrine. Kingsley called again and another henchman named O'Hara took the call. O'Hara was forced to tell Kingsley that Jack was flatlining, and Kingsley gave him the order to fix it. The doctor then was ushered in at gunpoint to administer epinephrine to Jack. He applied the defibrillator paddles and revived Jack. Stark was relieved, and then inquired to O'Hara about what Kingsley wanted.

"He said I just got promoted," O'Hara said before shooting Stark point blank. The doctor was horrified. O'Hara leaned over and asked Jack for the chip. Jack didnt answer.

O'Hara ordered the doctor to give Jack an injection of Beroglide to paralyze his diaphragm. When O'Hara was distracted by a phone call from Kingsley, Jack pleaded with the doctor to untie him. The doctor hesitated, fearing for his life, he decided to refuse to help Jack. O'Hara returned and made the doctor inject the Beroglide. Jack gasped, unable to breathe.

A phone rings again, but its not O'Haras' phone this time. It was the phone they had taken off of Jack earlier when they stripped him. O'Hara grabs it and forced it on to Jacks' ear so he could answer it. He told Jack to end it

quickly.

"Bauer." Jack huffed in answered the phone.

"Jack. Its Michelle. I was just wondering how far away you are from CTU?" Michelle answered.

"I cant talk right now, call me back later" Jack coughed out trying to sound half way descent, but the pain he was in was affecting everything, even his voice. There were a few moments of silence before Michelle spoke again.

"Jack, are you alright?" Michelle asked in a confused, slightly concerned tone.

"Im...fine, just call me back later, Im kind of busy right now" Jack answered, hoping Michelle wouldnt fall for his sad accuse for an act.

'i hope she sends backup...please send backup' Jack thought to himself.

"You sound terrible" Michelle started to say then O'Hara slammed the phone shut, ending the call. He also turned the phone completely off.

'perfect...she knows me well enough to know id never just do that...' Jack was smiling on the inside

"Jack? Jack!" Michelle started to panic as the phone went died. She hung up the phone and tried to redial. No answer, the phone was off now.

"Shit!" Michelle cussed silently, then looked up at Tonys' office to see him in there, she dialed his station.

"Almeida." Tony answered.

"Tony, Its Michelle. I tried to call Jack. He answered, but avoided me, saying to call back later. He sounded terrible. I think he is in trouble" Michelle said with alot of concern for Jacks' well being in her tone.

"Did you get a trace on the call?" Tony asked.

"Yes, it looks like he is still were he was before..." Michelle said glancing at her computer screen.

"Alright, Ill send some backup for him..." Tony said, hanging up the phone then ordered some back up to the location where Jack was at.Top of Form 1Bottom of Form 1
