9.00pm, CTU Los Angeles, Los Angeles
As Jack, Curtis, Michelle and the two captured terrorists arrived back at CTU, Chloe's face lit up. Walking over to Jack and without saying around, she gave him a quick hug, much to Jack's surprise.
"I'm glad you're OK, Jack. Is it all over?," Chloe said as she removed herself from Jack.
"Not yet. The main leader is still out there, but we should be able to find him," Jack replied. He had managed to stop the van quickly, but by the time he had left the van and ran back to where Greg had been, the terrorist was long gone. That part of the desert was quite rocky, however, and Jack assumed that Greg was simply hiding behind a rock. Even so, he had decided to leave Greg where he was and had gone back to the van, where he had disarmed the other terrorists and had tied them up.

Dennis looked at Michelle wearily as she repeated her question. He wasn't about to give up any information, and Michelle could tell.
"Fine, then I guess you'll just have to be taken to Division. I wouldn't expect them to be as patient," Michelle told him as she left the room. As Jack came out of the adjoining room, from where he had been watching the interrogation, he looked in the direction of the other holding room.
"I'll give this one a go, OK?," he said, and Michelle obliged. Jack walked into the room and stared at the terrorist. He was young, with short brown hair, dark brown eyes and a scar that ran straight down his face, which looked like someone had been cutting him with an axe.
"Who are you?," Jack asked, but the terrorist simply stared at Jack without saying a word in reply. Jack decided to get closer to the man, and to raise his voice.
"Who are you?," Jack snarled, and this time he got the response he wanted.
"Paul, my name's Paul," Paul replied, in a voice that had a strong New Orleans accent.
"Why is your group so interested in me?," Jack asked, his voice slightly quieter but still fierce. Paul seemed to be considering answering the question, so Jack gave him a minute.
"The group isn't interested in you, it's just Greg. You killed his girlfriend, so now he wants to kill you, Bauer," Paul replied, and Jack looked at him in amazement. Was Nina this girlfriend? Was Greg filled with the same anger that he had been filled with all those years ago, when Teri was murdered?
"Nina Myers?," Jack asked, and Paul simply nodded.
9.20pm, CTU Los Angeles, Los Angeles
Kim was waiting to meet her father after his ordeal, when a man entered CTU. He looked like he was in his thirties, with dark hair and blue eyes. As the man approached her, she wondered who he reminded her of.
"Hello, I'm Alex. Is Tony Almeida here?," Alex said, in a thick Chicago accent.
"Uh, yeah, he's right over there," Kim replied, pointing to where Tony was deep in conversation with Michelle.
"Thanks," Alex said, before walking over to Tony, who looked at him in surprise.
"Alex? What are you doing here?," Tony asked, even though he knew the answer. Alex Myers was Nina's brother, a CTU agent in Chicago.
"I'm here to sort out my sister's funeral. Also, I heard something happened to Michelle and Jack? Are they OK?," Alex asked. He had only heard of Michelle and Jack from Tony and Nina.
"I'm OK, thanks, Alex, and Jack is currently interviewing one of the terrorists," Michelle replied.
"Well, if you need any help, I'm more than happy to do so. Could I go and see my sister?," Alex asked, and Tony directed him towards the morgue.
9.25pm, Holding Room 2, CTULA
Jack and Paul had been in deep conversation for some time. Paul had told him all about Nina and Greg's relationship, and Jack felt as if he was seeing a whole new side to Nina. It wasn't the side she had shown before her arrest, or the one after, but a whole new Nina, almost like a mixture of the first two.
"Did she ever talk about CTU?," Jack asked. He hoped that Nina had spoken of her regret in some way, that someone had heard her say sorry, or at least show some remorse for what she had done.
"Sometimes, but if she did, it was almost always about you. Greg would sometimes get annoyed when she did, because she sounded like she was still in love with you. I never really talked to her much, but from what I can tell, she was still thinking about you years after she left CTU," Paul replied.
9.30pm, Morgue, CTULA
Alex was stood in the same place where Kim had stood hours earlier. As he looked at his sister with tearful eyes, he tried hard to think of the Nina he had grown up with. As he covered her back up, a noise behind him made him turn quickly.
"Oh, it's you," Alex said as he saw Kim at the door.
"You're her brother?," she asked as she entered the room. She knew that Nina had a brother, but had never thought she would meet him. Tony had mentioned him a few times, although never connecting him with Nina - he had only done that once, and for Tony that was enough.
"Yeah, younger. I work at CTU Chicago," Alex replied.
"I'm Kim Bauer, Jack's daughter," Kim said.
"It's nice to meet you Kim. I'm sorry about your mother," Alex spoke. He looked at Kim and hoped that she was making her mother proud. After all, he knew that Kim had been their only child.
"Thank you. I'm sorry about your sister," Kim replied, and she meant it.
9.40pm, CTU Los Angeles
Jack walked into the bullpen and headed straight for Michelle.
"He's doing it to get revenge on me, for Nina," Jack told her, and Michelle was shocked.
"Nina? What connection does he have to her?," Michelle asked.
"She was his girlfriend," Jack replied, before noticing Alex and Kim returning from the morgue.
"Who's that?," Jack asked.
"Alex Myers, Nina's brother," Michelle replied. Jack nodded before heading over to Alex and Kim.
"Hello Alex, I'm Jack Bauer," Jack replied, holding out his hand. As the two men shook hands, Jack looked at the younger man, and thought of what Nina had told him about Alex.
"Hello, Jack. I've heard a lot about you," Alex replied. Nina had told him so much about Jack, and Alex wondered just how much Jack knew about him.
"So have I. I assume you know a bit about what's been happening today, and I think we're going to need your help," Jack asked.
