C.T.U.
Jack Bauer sat at his cluttered desk in front of dozens of sheets of file paper, all containing information on the latest case he was wrapping up. His head resting in his left hand as he continued to stare at the timeline, trying to complete it. His eyes were drooping and it was becoming increasingly difficult to stay awake. He herd a knock at his glass door and turned to see Kim pushing her way through the heavy door, the only person who could make him smile as he entailed such a boring task.
"Hey Dad, how's it coming along?" She asked whilst handing him a styrofoam cup of coffee, which he eagerly took.
"Uh, well the brief is done, the case notes are all ready, the hard drive is completed, I just need to finish the timeline and then it can go over to District, case closed." His voice showed no enthusiasm, just the lack of sleep he was feeling.
"Well then that's great. Shouldn't you be happy, the case is closed, theirs no more work to do. Hell, all me and Adam have been doing is refreshing the systems, theirs no new leads to compile information on."
Jack started to laugh, "You seem disappointed there's no overflowing work load!"
"No, I just thought that seen as there's nothing to do you could sneak off home an hour early Dad, you have been here since 3 this afternoon, you look exhausted, you should go home and rest." She said concerned, always worrying about him, even if it was something as small as lack of sleep.
"Yeah well Tony's shift starts at 5 then I'm going to take off. You might want to come home too?"
"Erm, I finish at 6 so I'm going to stick it out, Adam's going to show me how to work the satellite imagery."
"Oh, ok then, I'll see you after 6 then."
"Yep, so until you leave I want you to ring me every time you need a new coffee refill!" She said smiling.
"Ok thanks hun." As he said those words Kim left his office and headed back down to Adam who was waiting for her. Jack watched her work for a moment then turned his attention back to the timeline, there was only a month more to fill in and then it would finally be finished
The Almeida Residence.
The house was dark, and husband and wife lay in bed together soundly sleeping. The door to their room was opened slowly, and masked men began to enter to room. Five men filtered in slowly and surrounded the bed. One man nodded to another, and then two of them threw the quilt off as the two grabbed Tony and threw him out of the bed. Tony felt himself roughly fall from bed, then he groggily realised somebody was tying his hands behind his back. He tried to struggle and began shouting trying to understand what was going on. He felt somebody sticking tape over his mouth, then saw Michelle wake up from the commotion.
Suddenly panic hit Tony. It became obvious they were being attacked and he prayed Michelle would be okay. Michelle was screaming at the men and ran at them, trying to get to Tony. One of the attackers pulled out a gun and smashed her on the head with it, she fell to the floor, unconscious.
Infuriated Tony thrashed around, but the restraints around his hands, and now his legs too, were too strong. Suddenly a bag was thrown over his head and he was dragged away, his thoughts only on the image of Michelle on the floor bleeding.
Three of the men carried Tony's struggling body out of his home, across the lawn and into the boot of an awaiting car. The men locked the trunk, then looked around to see if anyone had seen or herd the commotion, there was nobody in sight, they were probably all asleep.
Inside the car, the men pulled their masks off and began to unwind. The leader, John, pulled out his phone and rang his boss, the funder for the operation, Daniel. On the first ring Daniel answered,
"Hello."
"Its John, we have the package, moving to location 1."
He hung up, satisfied everything was going to plan.
Okay, that was the first chapter, (obviously)! Let me know what you think of it so far... please!
P.S. Any ideas of what to call it would be great!
