Someone asked (since I have the next few chapters ready "what are you waiting for?" I couldn't come up with answer to that question so I decided to post the next chapter…lol
Tony went back up to his office, logged off, and grabbed his keys, he also noticed Michelle's computer was on but she wasn't there, but he figured she had just stepped away so he went to the garage and started up the car, waiting for her.
He turned the radio on and looked at the clock on the console the clock read "8:21" he rubbed his head and shut his eyes waiting for Michelle.
After 25 minutes he looked at the clock "8:46" it read. "Where the hell is she?" he thought so he turned off the car and headed back into CTU.
He walked in to see her desk the same as it was before he read her screen it said, "Assistance requested in Tech1" Tony rushed off to Tech 1.
Tony walked in to see Michelle bruised and bleeding tied to a chair, but before he could help her every thing went dark and he felt himself sink to the floor.
Michelle screamed as a blurred figure tried to knock Tony unconscious, Tony was trying to hold on, hold on for his life, and for the sake of Michelle.
Tony heard Michelle let out a scream that alone, the thought that she was hurt, was enough to keep going. He opened his eyes to see Carrie and a very large man standing above him.
Tony quickly swung his leg to the left, knocking both Carrie and the large man to the floor, but the large man quickly pulled out a gun - 'Think fast Tony, Think!!'
Tony swung his arm left and knocked the gun out of his hand only to feel something pushing on the back of his head, he turned to see Carrie with a gun pointed straight at his head he heard Michelle scream "No!"
Tony began talking to Carrie, "Look Carrie, I know you don't wanna do this, you know you wont get away with it..." Tony carried on his little speech, meanwhile slowly slipping his hand in his pocket - and pressing speed dial...
'Its a good thing I put Jack on speed-dial during the crisis today' he thought as held down 8.
Jack looked at his phone, Tony, "Bauer", "Hello, Tony?", "You there?", then he heard Carrie, and Tony explaining how she doesn't want to do it - Jack quickly stepping into Bauer mode grabbed his gun and left the hospital, he's Jack he'll be fine.
Jack started driving and immediately started to feel the effects of the medication kicking in but he drove on regardless.
Tony was still trying to keep Carrie calm, he knew Jack would have understood the message but he just wished he would hurry up!
"This is so wrong! How she can betray you yet you take her over me regardless! Its not fair, but I will show you what a good woman I am… I'll spare you" she turned to Michelle "you however are a different story," she said as she kicked Michelle so that her chair went flying up against the back wall.
Michelle's head slammed up against the back wall and she felt something wet behind her head as everything went dark.
Tony knew he was shouting her name, but it didn't feel like it was him - it felt like he was watching it all happen from above, just as he was about to pass out from the stress, the door flung open.
Jack grabbed Carrie and put the gun up to her head and yelled "Drop your weapons" they did as they were instructed he continued "put your hands on the back of your heads and interlock your fingers!"
Jack untied Tony who then despite his weakness ran to Michelle untied her and cupped his hands to cradle her face "Michelle?... Chelle baby are you ok?" for a split second it hit him that was the first time he had ever called her anything but 'Michelle'.
Michelle was still unconscious, and Tony was beginning to panic, "Oh god, Chelle, please..." Tony stopped himself mid sentence as he felt the wetness at the back of her head...
He scooped her up into his arms careful not to move her too much and carried her down to medical on the way Jack saw him and ran after him and said "Oh my god Tony is she ok!?" Tony just kept walking.
As Tony entered medical he realized he had sent all doctors home for the night and turned around to go to his car, he desperately hoped she would make it.
Tony carried on walking down the hallways of CTU, Jack had been talking to him for the past 10 minutes and Tony still hadn't answered, he was in total shock, "Tony, please answer me, she'll be ok, we've just gotta get her to the hos..." Michelle's body began to shake rapidly and Tony collapsed to the floor.
As they went down together Jack grabbed Tony's head so it wouldn't hit the floor. Since Michelle's head was tucked into Tony her head also didn't hit the floor.
Jack opened his car and put Michelle on the back seat, he then reached for a bottle of water and threw it over Tony, a few spurts of water later Tony became conscious again "Tony, I know this is hard but you have to stay with me, we've got to get Michelle to the hospital" Tony nodded and they spent the journey to the hospital in silence.
The car ride seemed to last an eternity, the hospital was 14 minutes away, while he waited Tony gently caressed Michelle's face and played with her curls watching her breathe gently, that alone was calming him down.
As Tony watched Michelle breathe he noticed her stop breathing and immediately sealed his lips over hers trying to force life into her, Jack turned around yelling "Tony what the hell are you doing!?"
Tony quickly glanced up to Jack, and said "She's not breathing" Tony panicking, and face drip white began CPR as Jack sped off through 2 sets of lights...
Tony took a deep breath and passed it to Michelle as they pulled up at the hospital, when finally Michelle coughed and started breathing again Tony relaxed a little as they brought the stretcher to the side of Jack's SUV.
Tony helped them move Michelle onto the stretcher, they pushed her down the hallway at a rapid pace it was then that Tony felt his ankle throb and he fell to the floor yelping in pain.
Jack ran over to Tony, "Tony, you okay?"
Tony got up and sat on a nearby bench, "Yeah, forget about it, I've gotta be strong for Michelle" Tony thought of the way he'd acted around her since he'd said 'see you tomorrow' and realized how much he must care for her, he's been worrying about her constantly like they've been dating for years but they've not been on one date. 'God I hope she's ok' thought Tony
Jack helped Tony up, and helped him to limp into the room they working on Michelle in when they got to the door a doctor stopped them.
When they got to the door the doctor said "Sorry, only next of kin is allowed in while we are working, at least until she is released in to recovery" they nodded their heads, but the doctor motioned for Tony to walk in and Tony looked at him confusedly "Mr. Dessler you may come in" Tony smirked at Jack and went in.
Tony went in and stood watching them all hovering around Michelle, "You can come closer if you like sir, hold her hand for support, something it'll be comforting for her, and she needs that right now" Tony just nodded and went and held her hand, "Come on baby, you can get through this"
"She's going to need stitches" the doctor said "Mr. Dessler I need your consent".
"Yes of course do what ever you need to do. Just please help her" Tony said worriedly.
The doctors and nurses carried on the whole procedure, taking a total of one hour thirty five minutes, Tony spent the entire time by her side, praying to God that she'd be okay.
When they finished the doctors left the room leaving Tony alone with Michelle, he was so happy this nightmare was coming to an end, he pulled a chair up next to her bed and laid his head on her lap- he was exhausted.
Michelle opened her eyes, her head hurt like hell she felt some sort of weight on her stomach and saw Tony fast asleep on her, she smiled at this and rubbed his head softly.
He looked so worn out, she cringed at the memory of had happened, cringed at the idea of Carrie killing Tony, cringed at the thought of the pain he must have been in. Tony opened his eyes and looked up at Michelle whose eyes were watery like she was about to cry, Michelle looked like she was in deep pain.
"Chelle, what's wrong" She forced a smile, and said "Everything today, it's just been a lot to take in, and my head hurts a little, I'll be ok" she said with another forced smile.
"I know you'll be ok, Chelle, because I love you and will do anything to make sure of it," Tony replied smiling back with eyes filled with happiness and tears.
"Thanks Tony, I love you," Michelle said forcing a smile knowing she was still in pain.
