Chapter 1

"Mr Bauer I'm going to have to stitch this wound."

Jack simply nodded his head, his mind was on the chaotic events of the day. He had woken up as Frank Flynn and now he was re-united with his love, and on his way to spend the rest of his life with her. He knew that he had a lot to answer for, considering that moments ago he had taken down the President of the United States, but for one thing he was certain on was his new life with Audrey Raines.

A car door slamming ahead caught his attention. There standing mere three feet away was Audrey. She gazed at him, her face etched with worry.

"Can you give me a second?" Jack asked the medic.

"Sure" the medic replied.

Jack pushed his way through the S.W.A.T.S teams, trying desperately to reach Audrey. Finally they came face to face, her eyes locking with his.

"Hey." he said softly,

"Hey" Audrey replied, taking a step forwards, "Jack when I heard you captured the President I…" her voice trailed off.

"Everything is going to be alright.. I promise." he replied.

Audrey smiled, "Jack…" she said, reaching for his hand. Audrey couldn't believe that after 18 months of believing he was dead, that he was here standing in front of her. They could finally settle down and plan their life out. "How long do you have to stay here?" she asked him.

"Not much longer" Jack answered, "They can debrief me tomorrow."

Audrey grinned, knowing he was probably lying. "Are you sure..?"

However, she didn't get a verbal answer to her question, instead she was rewarded with his lips on hers. His tongue eagerly seeking hers, his hand reaching up to frame her face.

Audrey bit back a moan, he hadn't kissed her like this, since their last night together in the hotel. Eventually, they pulled apart, the need for air became too great. Jack stared into her wonderful sea green eyes, his hand still framing her face as his thumb, rubbed her cheek tenderly.

Audrey gripped his shoulders, " I can't believe you're really… you're really here." she whispered.

Jack was about to respond when an agent suddenly appeared, interfering with their moment.

"I'm sorry" he spoke, "But Agent Bauer, there is a phone call for you, from your daughter."

"My daughter?" Jack questioned his hand had a firm grip around Audrey's waist, ensuring that she would stay with him. He felt Audrey squeezed his arm reassuringly , maybe Kim had decided to forgive him after all.

"Yes, a Kim Bauer?"

Audrey briefly smiled, finally Jack's life was beginning to turn around for him. Jack nodded, turning his head back to Audrey.

"I'll be right back… I promise." he whispered to her.

Audrey smiled, she knew how important this was for him, "Take as long as you need I'm not going anywhere." she replied.

Jack gazed at her once more, he lent into kiss her briefly "I love you." he breathed.

Audrey, still dazzled by the moment smiled, she still couldn't believe that he was here with her. Before she could reply to his statement he was gone from her grasp.

Jack made his way into the deserted building, why hadn't the agent just put the call through to his mobile? he thought. It was strange but he thought nothing of it, he was just glad that Kim had even phoned him at all. Walking down the shabby corridor, he saw the phone on the wall, the receiver was balanced on top. He took a deep breath and picked it up.

"Kim?" Jack asked. There was silence, "Kim?" he said again. But before he had a second thought someone grabbed him from behind, trying to smother him with chloroform. Jack reacted immediately by punching the man in the stomach, however another guy dressed in black with a balaclava on, clutched onto his arms, forcing the cloth onto his face.

'Don't breathe in' his mind screeched. However, his lungs did not comply with his brain and he inhaled the gas. Slowly he felt the chloroform take its effect; he opened his eyes once more to glance towards the door. There he saw Audrey; she had a smile plastered on her face. 'I'm sorry' he thought 'I'm so sorry Audrey'.

Taking a last look at his lover, Jack's eyes finally dipped for the last time.

-----

Audrey glanced at her watch; Jack had been in there for nearly ten minutes. Surely the phone call wouldn't take that long. She sighed and headed into the derelict building, opening the door she stepped into the corridor. Sure enough there was the phone but Jack was nowhere in sight.

"Jack?" Audrey spoke, her voice filled with worry. She felt her stomach turn over, bile raised to her throat. He had disappeared again; there was no future with him. The small light of hope she had imagined was now destroyed. Audrey turned and ran out of the door.

"Agent Davis" Audrey cried, "Jack Bauer is missing."

Davis looked at Audrey and saw the fear that coated her face. He spoke into his radio, "All units, Jack Bauer is missing, I repeat Jack Bauer is missing."

Audrey ran onto the road, her eyes frantically searching for him. How could he have just disappeared, just like that?
