Chase looked at Kim with concern, before scanning the bullpen. Neither Alex or Jack were anywhere to be seen. Wandering up to her, he checked the time on his watch.
"Kim, they've been gone for some time. I'm gonna go see where they are," Chase explained. He knew that Nina was now dead, and that Jack and Alex were most likely just talking, but his first instinct was that something was terribly wrong.
"Chase? I would like to talk to my dad as soon as he's finished. Can you tell him that?," Kim asked, looking at her boyfriend with tired eyes. It had been a long and somewhat awful day for Kim, adn even though the woman who had killed her mother was finally dead, a small part of her felt sorry for Nina, even though she knew that Nina would not feel anything for her.
As Chase walked down the corridor, the lights were dull and it was hard for him to focus his eyes, and sleep deprivation wasn't helping. Walking closer to the room where he was expecting to find Alex and Jack, he noticed that noone was talking. In fact, it was deathly silent, and Chase pulled out his gun and slowly peered around the door into the room. Noticing the two bodies, he checked the room for any sign of life before rushing towards the bodies. Realising that one was Nina, he looked over at the other, male body. Jack's jacket was covering it's face, and as Chase slowly pulled it off, he didn't know who he wanted to find under the jacket. Seeing Jack's face, he quickly replaced the jacket before standing back up. Composing himself, he fished his phone out of his pocket and dialled Kim's extension.
"Kim, I need you to get Tony to lockdown the building. I can't tell you any more but, please, stay in the bullpen," Chase spoke calmly.
"What? Are they OK, Chase? I'll get Tony," Kim asked, worried. She gestured for Tony to come to her station, before handing him the phone.
"Tony, listen to me. Jack is dead and I think Alex killed him. I need you to keep Kim where she is and to lockdown the building. Alex may still be here," Chase explained to Tony, who was trying hard to remain calm. Hanging up, Chase picked up Jack's gun, before shoving it down the front of his pants.
Alex was heading slowly towards the underground garage, trying to avoid the guards. He was nervous, and when the alarm began blaring, he realised what had happened. Sighing, he began to run, only to almost crash into a guard. Pistol whipping the guard, he left the comatose redshirt on the floor. Deprived of sleep and having gone hours without anything other than coffee and water, Alex was finding it hard to run and as he reached the garage door, he almost collapsed. Deciding to give himself a minute or two to recover, he held the gun ready to fire at anyone who came into view. Soon afterwards, he was quickly walking towards his car, and flashes of that day played in his head. From what Jack had told him, Nina had driven towards him, shooting at him through the windscreen. Telling himself that Jack was dead and that no black SUV was going to turn into the garage as he was making his escape, he climbed into his car. Peeling off before speeding out of the garage and into the dark streets of Los Angeles, he considered his future.
Chase had found the knocked out guard, and was busy trying to revive him. He was hoping that Kim had not yet found out about her father, as well as hoping that Alex had not managed to escape the building. As the guard woke, Chappelle approached them.
"Chase, I got some bad news. Alex's car was just seen speeding out of the garage. Why don't you go be with Kim, and tell her about her father?," he told the agent. Ryan was shocked by what had just happened, and was determined not to let the capture of Alex Myers be a bigger priority than stopping the Cordilla virus threat.
