"It's because I made it with Kim," says his wife, Kate.
"Nice sweetheart," says Jack to his daughter, Kim.

"Oh yeah, my phone at home doesn't work, it has a problem. I need to check it" says Chloe and after a second asks: "What happened, Jack?"
"There will be a briefing at CTU and you need to be there" replies Jack and begins to drive toward CTU.
"I? But I'm a new at the unit."
"Yes, it's probably because you're an excellent analyst information."
"Thanks, but I'm not so good."
"You're very good at your job and you know it."

CTU - Los Angeles
Jack enters the building. Two security guards stand at the entrance. Jack goes through the metal detectors and says: "Hey, how are you Alan?"
"All is well" says the guard.
Jack walks in building until he arrives to the Central Department of CTU. Within the department work dozens people and each one has a station with a computer. On the left from the main entrance there are three large screens in stations that are near the wall. Within the department there are 4 offices that their walls made of glass and there are stairs up to the room of the director of CTU. Now because of the early hour, there were only eight people in the department. A man with black hair walked towards Jack and shakes his hand.
"Hey Tony." Jack says.
"Hey Jack. Happy Birthday" says Tony.
"Thank, how are you?"
"I'm fine and you?"
"good."
" It sucks for you that there is a briefing early in the morning when it's your birthday."
"Oh that's okay, we have had time to celebrate my birthday," says Jack when they walk ahead and add "So why do you think Paul wants to do a briefing for us?"
"If you ask me, I think it is about David Palmer."
"What, because he's black?"
"Yes, what can you do that a lot of people are still racist against blacks."
"I guess you're right." Jack agrees.
They stop at a position where sits a young man with medium length brown hair and has brown eyes. Next to him stands a woman with long black hair.
"Hi, how are you getting on here?" Jack asks.
"Hey Jack," replied the woman, "We have not found anything special, but we're working on something that has good potential."
"Okay, listen Nicole and Johnny," says Jack. Johnny that was Preoccupied with the computer, now shifted his gaze toward Jack. "In a few minutes Paul will arrive and there will be a briefing for the senior staff."
"Allright," replies Nicole and Jack and Tony continue to walk.
They go up the stairs that are leading to the head of CTU office and Jack asks, "did you find important information recently?"
"Let's say that We didn't found something that indicating that will should have a briefing at five o'clock," replies Tony in a chuckle, adding, "What about Chloe, did you get her?"
Jack opens the glass door of the head of CTU office and says, "Yes, she should arrive in a few minutes."
"Why do you think he wants Chloe? She is a new employee." Tony asks.
"Probably because she is the best information analyst we have" replies Jack and sits on the sofa.
"She works here just two weeks and you already know she is the best."
"I've seen how she works. She can do the same work almost twice as fast as Johnny."
Tony puts his hands on his hips and says: "Yes, she is pretty good, but I still think Johnny is better."
"Think what you want," Jack replies.

Head of CTU office
Jack sits on the sofa and Tony sits on a chair with his hands folded. The phone on the desk rings and Jack presses the Black button that is on the phone.
"yes?" Jack says.
A woman's voice replies: "Paul has arrived now."
"Okay, I'm going down to see him," says Jack.
Jack presses the button again and says: "let's go."
Jack and Tony leave the room and see Paul speaks with Nicole. They get down the stairs and walk toward them.
Jack shakes hands with Paul and says: "Hi, Paul."
"Hey, Jack," Paul replies.
"You want to start the briefing now?" Jack asks.
"Yes, let's get started."
Jack, Tony, Paul, Nicole and Johnny go to the briefing room. The briefing room is a room made of glass and has an oval shaped table that has 10 purple chairs around it. On the top right there is a big screen TV. Jack opens the door and they start to come in.
5:20:49, 5:20:50, 5:20:51, 5:20:52
Paul turns to Jack and asks: "Chloe will come?"
"Yes, she should arrive any moment," says Jack.
"Well, let's start" says Paul to everyone.
Paul sits in a chair near the middle edge of the table and Jack is sitting next to him on the left side. Tony sits in front of Jack and Nicole and Johnny sit.
"Well I gathered you here because ..." Paul began, and stopped when the door opens.
Chloe walks into the room.
She closes the door and says, "Hi" and sit down (third chair on the left).
"Okay, yesterday my office obtained a data card" continues Paul. "It was almost completely destroyed. Luckily, before a little less than twenty minutes my chief technician in my office was able to recover the information and decode it. The information indicates that there will be an attempt to assassinate Senator David Palmer."
"How reliable this information?" Tony asks.
"Very reliable. It was not easy to find this information and it seems that someone tried that we will not get it. In addition, my technician checked it and saw that it very reliable."
"In what range of time are we talking about?" Jack asks.
"The assassination attempt will occur until the end of the day. It can even happen within a few hours from now," says Paul and adds: "So we don't have much time and you needs to start working now. I want that in the next hours you will work just on preventing the assassination of Senator David Palmer, clear?"
"Yeah, no problem, we'll work on it," Jack answers.
"Well, we're done here, you are dismissed," says Paul.
Everyone except Jack and Paul get up and leave the room.
Jack intends to stand up, but Paul stops him and says: "Wait a second, I need to talk to you."
"Yes, what is it, Paul?" Jack asks.
"I didn't want to say it to everyone, but it was much harder to find the data card," says Paul. "I sent my three good agents to get it and two of them died. One of them was my friend."
"Oh, I didn't know," said Jack in sympathy.
"It wasn't supposed to be like this. It should be much easier. Someone ambushed them and almost killed them all. I think that someone inside was involved"
"how do you know?"
"I don't know, it's just a feeling," says Paul, adding a little anxiously: "Except you I don't know who I can trust."
"You should not exaggerate. It happens in such operations that agents are killed." Jack says, "You can trust me and my people in CTU."
"Well, listen, I brought with me the data card," says Paul and takes the card out of his pocket. "I want that Chloe will try to decipher all the information in it."
"You didn't say that you have decode all the information on the card?" Jack asks.
"I said it because I did not want other people to know about it," says Paul. "There is a lot of information that is decrypted on this card and I want Chloe to work on it secretly."
Paul gives Jack the data card and Jack puts it in his pocket.
"And your staff can not decode it?" Jack asks.
"The card has an algorithm that is tough to decode, and at best is will take them days to get the rest of the information from it."
"So why do you trust Chloe? You know she's new here," says Jack.
"I know, but you told me she is the best worker you had."
"right."
"And you told me she is loyal worker" says Paul and adds: "So if you trust her, I trust her."
"Okay, I will take care that Chloe will work on this in secretly," says Jack.
"Thank you, Jack. I knew I could count on you."
Jack stood up and before he opens the door Paul adds: "Oh, I told George Mason to come here to help you."
"For what? I don't need his help."
"I trust him and I want that someone with experience in managing CTU will be with you on such a day."
"I can manage on my own."
"He's already on the way here." Paul says, adding: "You sure you don't want him. Because I think that ..."
"Okay, if that's what you want," says Jack reluctantly. "But just know that I'm not so liking him."
Jack opens the door and leaves the room.

Chloe enters the room and asks: "What do you want, Jack?"
Jack puts the document on the table and says: "I need you to do something for me."
He takes out from his pocket the data card and continues: "This is the data card that Paul has got and "I need that you will decipher it."
"Paul didn't says before that he deciphered it already?" Asks Chloe.
"He managed to get only partial information from the card and he asked me that you will continue working on it."
"Okay."
"But you have to work on it in confidential. I don't want anyone to know you're working on the card," Jack says and adds: "When you find something report me."
"Why all this secrecy?"
"I can't elaborate now, but trust me."
"It's because of what Paul said to you, right?" Asks Chloe.
"Yes," said Jack, handing the card to Chloe. "You want to help me?"
"Okay," says Chloe and takes the card.
She puts it in her pocket and leaves the room. She comes down the stairs and when she gets down Johnny is standing beside her and asked: "What did he want?"
"Just something."
"It was not just something," says Johnny. "After the briefing he had not spoken with anyone, not even Tony, and now he has called you into his office."
"It's none of your business," says Chloe and begins to walk toward her position.
Johnny goes to her and says: "I know that he asked you to do something important."
"What do you want from me" says Chloe nervously.
"Relax, I just asked a question."
"I don't have time to your nonsense, I have to work now," replies Chloe and goes to her station.
She sits down and sees that Johnny turns and walks towards his position. She takes the card and puts it into the computer. A file with six folders opens. The first folder has been deciphered and written on it: "an attempt to assassinate Senator David Palmer." The other folders says something unintelligible with strange letters. Chloe opened the second folder and see a full page encoded with encrypted letters.

"So what do you want?" Jack asks.
"I came here to monitor your work in CTU" says George and continues: "I want to get update in real time about your progress."
"I'll see what I can do."
"This is not a satisfactory answer."
"I will get you update in real time, but it will take time."
"I need it soon," insists George.
"Look, because of the alert now and the lack of workers, I need everyone to concentrate on their work. So it will take time."
"Stop babbling nonsense. We both know you can do it in two minutes," says George, adding, "You can give up one of the workers for a few moments."
"Okay, I'll tell Johnny to take care of it."
"Tell him I want to know about every new thing you discover, every piece of information you find and any action you do."
"I told you already, it will be arranged."
"Oh, and I need also an office to work in it," said George.
"You can meantime use Gail's office."
"I guess I will have to settle for this office."
"You want anything else or you're done here." Jack says sarcastically.
"No, I do not need anything else" says George and leaves the room.
Jack bends toward his office phone and click on the number five. He picks up the phone and says: "Chloe."

"I tried to delay him, but he insisted that it would be immediately," says Jack. "Soon he will have access to all the information we're working on."
"He will know about the card that I'm working on," says Chloe.
"Yes, there for you need to work on an outside server and then he would not know what are you working on."
"I have no problem to transfer to an outside server."
"Well, do it now," says Jack.
"What if someone finds out I'm working on an outside server?" Chloe continues.
"Say that you are doing something for me."
"Okay, I transfer now to an outside server," says Chloe and presses in the computer on the internet connections icon.

"I don't know, but six months ago he was arrested on suspicion of helping terrorists, he was released after several days because there was not enough evidence to hold him" says Chloe as Jack parks his car near house number 12 and gets out of it.
Jack goes to the door and says: "I got to the house so I have to hang up."
"Okay, be careful Jack."
"Bye," says Jack and hangs up.
He knocks on the door and after a few seconds someone asks him: "Who are you?"
"My name is Jack Bauer and I'm a federal agent," Jack replies.
The door opens and a woman with long black hair stands in the doorway and says "Hey, what do you want?"
"I came regarding Lucas Collins," says Jack.
"What about him? Have he done something?" Asks the woman.
"Probably so," Jack says as he entered the house. "He is here at home?"
"No, he left half an hour ago for a business meeting."
"That's what he told you, surely he does something else."
"How do you know he isn't doing business," the woman says irritably.
"Not the kind of business you're thinking about them."
"What do you mean?"
"Do you know that a year and a half ago he was arrested because he helped terrorists," Jack says.
"You're making this up," says the woman. "I know him and he's my friend for almost a year. I know he will not cooperate with terrorists."
"Yes, so why his name and address were on the card that in which we found that today will be an attempt to assassinate Senator David Palmer."
"Wait a minute, or my God. It can be true what you're saying," says the woman in a shock. "He very hates David and once he told me he wants that he will killed him, but I thought he had not really meant it."
"Okay, so you know where he is?" Jack asks.
"No, he almost never say where he is going when he does business."
"Is there any way to find him?"
"Um, if he left his laptop at home then probably yes" the woman says.
"Where is his computer?"
"In his room," the woman l says and she and Jack are going to Lucas's room.
"He always records his transactions on the computer," says the woman. "Once I looked on his laptop and saw there was a strange and suspicious transaction. I asked him about this business meeting and he told me some excuse. I thought it was just something."
They come into the room and the woman opens a drawer which has a laptop. She takes the computer and puts it on the table. She opens the computer and turned it on. Jack sits down and the computer screen says "Enter Password".
"You know what is the password?" Jack asks.
"Two weeks ago I saw him put the password, then I think so," says the woman.
She writes the password, and says: "I hope he did not change it."
She presses Enter and the screen says "Welcome". The computer enters its main screen.

Johnny goes to Chloe's station and asks her: "What are you working on?"
"It's none of your business" says Chloe.
"Maybe it's none of my business, but you works under the command of Tony, so he should know what you are doing."
"I'm doing something for Jack, okay ?!" Chloe says.
"What are you doing for him?" Asks Johnny.
"That's classified, Jack wanted to keep it a secret."
"You're not supposed to keep it confidential from Tony, you are working for him and he needs to know about it," says Johnny and walks toward Tony.
He speaks several seconds with Tony and meanwhile Chloe continues to work.
Tony and Johnny walk toward Chloe and Tony asks her: "What are you working on?"
"Jack asked me to do something."
"And what is it?" Asks Tony and that instant his phone rings.
He answers and says: "Hey, Jack."
split-screen Jack looks at the computer screen that shows the folder of the meetings of Lucas and Tony talk to him on the phone.
"Hey, Tony," says Jack. "Listen, I checked a lead and found a computer of a businessman who apparently works with the terrorists that want to assassinate Senator David Palmer."
"How do you know he is connected to the assassination attempt?" Tony asks.
"I have no time now to explain."
"And Chloe worked with you on this issue?"
"Yes, now it says in his computer that he will have a business meeting at six o'clock at Wayne street number 28," says Jack and gets up from the chair.
"You need a password to access the information on this meeting so I want to bring someone here to take this computer to CTU" Jack says as he walks toward the exits of the house.
"Okay, I will send someone," says Tony.
"I'm driving now to Wayne street, and I want that you will organize a strike team that will come there."
"I will arrange the team right now," says Tony.
"good," says Jack and hangs up.
Jack approaches the woman and says: "In a few more minutes someone will come from CTU and will take the laptop, then stay here for now."
"Okay," replied the girl.
"I have to go now."
The girl closed the door and Jack walks towards his car.
