Chapter 1
.
Note: This is a prequal to a story I will publish soon, it's mainly to give you an idea where we are. This story takes place in the summer of 2031. According to my calculations that brings us up to 27 years after season 1, 7 years after Legacy. You might notice me taking certain historical liberties, trying to fit real world events within the 24 universe. If you don't like the direction I'm taking, write your own story.

In Havana Cuba an old white american is drinking heavily. He seems to enjoy the music at this bar, not to mention the scenery. Both the beach, and the young girls who are at most one-third his age, but who still qualify as legal. This man, Frank Roush, is explaining to the bartender, through slurred words, why Cuba is so lucky to have so many classic cars. Like most bartenders he pretends to listen to the customer's drunken nonsense. He sees something in this man's eyes, something that suggests he used to be a soldier. The bartender, Eduardo, did his service in the cuban military, a lot of his old buddies drink heavily too, hoping to forget what they saw, or did. So Eduardo just pretends to be interested in Frank's love of classic cars.

In New York City a police officer, Kyle Farrell, arrives at the local highschool. This school will be letting out for the summer soon. Kyle's job today is too remind these students about the dangers of drunk driving. And to make sure they know about the program he'll be volunteering at. Essentially, if they feel unable to drive, they can call this number. At which point Kyle, or one of the other volunteers, will give them a ride. None of these teenagers seem particularly interested. Kyle hopes it's because they've heard the lecture before and already plan to call this organization for a ride, hopefully. While at this school Kyle meets a security guard, Kate Morgan. She's a few years older than Kyle, both her name and face seem familiar to Kyle. Finally, just before he leaves, he remembers who Kate Morgan is. He gives her his phone number, and tells her why. It would be innapropriate for him to ask her out on a date while he's still on duty. At this explanation Kate also gives Kyle her phone number.

Jimmy wakes up in a motel room with a massive hangover. He's not even sure where he is. There's no girl here, but for all he knows there could have been one or more the previus night. There's something on the news about president Parker's peace initiatives, but Jimmy doesn't care about that right now. His ex-wife won't let him see his kids, he's out of work, and the bills are piling up. But as Jimmy checks his cellphone he has a text message, a few hours old, from a number he's never seen before. It reads "Jimmy, we have a business opportunity, one that can help you solve all of your problems. If you're interested call this number. Sincerely, a friend."
