Chapter 1:

A hooded and bound Jack Bauer was roughly drug into a small windowless room, and slammed down into a steel chair. His hands were shackled to the table as a booming voice thundered, "Mr. Bauer; do you know why you are here?"

Jack said nothing. The voice thundered, "Mr. Bauer you will speak when spoken to. Am I understood."

Again Jack refused to say anything. The voice growled, "Take off the hood."

The hood was torn of his head. Jack blinked several times to clear his eyes. The man bellowed, "Do you have any idea who am?"

Again Jack refused to speak. The man made a motion, and the guard standing behind him slapped him on the side of the head as he growled, "The General asked you a question."

Jack just stared straight ahead. After several minutes the General sat down across from Jack and said, "Look Jack I remember you, and I know damned and good well you remember me as well. Jack hissed in a hoarse voice, due to the fact he hadn't talked in the 1 1/2 years since he had been captured in Romainia, "I remember who you are."

The General said, "I also remember how you were trying to save Henrietta Lange."

Jack asked, "If you knew that then why did your SEALS capture me?"

The General replied, "We were ordered to by the Vice president. But now there's a new President. She wants you to help us."

Jack growled, "Why would I help the President?"

The General replied, "Because you helped her two brothes much as you could."

Jack breathed, "Saundra Palmer is the new president?"

The General nodded as he put a SAT phone on the table, and said, "Yes she is. She'd like a word with you."

Jack looked down at his shackled hands then back up at the General. He nodded as he had the guard that slapped Jack uncuff him. Jack nodded his thanks as he picked up the phone, and said, "Hello Madame President."

Saundra Palmer replied in a shaky emotion filed voice, "H-hello Jack. I'm so sorry you were captured."

Jack said, "It wasn't your fault Madame President. I in no way hold you responsible."

Saundra wiped at her eyes as she said, "I thank you for that Jack. Now I must ask you for a favor?"

Jack said, "Anything that you need I'll to do the the very best of my abilities Madame President."

Saundra said, "Jack we learned from a source in Kuala Lumpur that a Chinese ultra-nationalist group calling themselves The Black Serpent are trying to acquire a number of nuclear fuel rods. We are unclear on what they intend to do with them."

Jack asked, "What do you need me to do Madame President?"

Saundra replied, "I need you to work with a special task force that has been tracking the rods."

Jack said, "Yes Ma'am. I'll find those fuel rods."

And with that he disconnected the call. The General asked, "What do you need?"

Jack replied, a shower, a shave, clean clothes, weapons, and a car."

The General nodded as he ordered, "Take him to where he can get cleaned up."

Then he called, "Clothes will be layed out for you when you re finished with your shower. Then you can visit the armory."

Jack nodded as he was led away an hour later his dirty blond hair was cut into a a military style crew cut, and his long thick beard was shaved off. He walked into the main part of the locker room, and put on a pair of blue jeans, black Blackhawk Warrior Wear Black OPS boots, a long sleeve black t-shirt, and a black leather jacket. He slid his stainless steel dog tags around his neck, and put his black titanium MTM Hawk commando watch on his left wrist. He walked out into the hall, and was shown into the armory. He selected a black 9MM HK P30LS as well as a black Galce HALO Belt Holster which he placed on his right hip. He also grabbed a Microtech Halo 5 S/E OTF Automatic Knife which he placed into his right hip pocket, Then he grabbed 6 extra magazines, which he stuffed into his pockets. lastly he grabbed an EOTECH MTM Mini-Thermal Monocular and a GemTech TUNDRAsuppressor, and put them in his left inside jacket pocket. When he was finished his guard said, "Follow me."

Jack wordlessly he followed the guard into a huge conference room. He saw the General, and his best friends from his SF days.

I had this idea after I saw the preview of the new 24 that's coming on soon
