I don't own 24


Michelle was driving the car. Jack was sitting in the passanger's seat. A lot of things were going through Michelle's mind while she was drivin down. She felt like she was being tortured again. She was feeling the same way she felt when Mandy had kept Tony hostage. She was relieved that Tony came back safe and sound. She wanted the same to happen to Chris. She couldn't wait to have her five year old son in her arms again.

Then there was the bad side. She had no idea what she was going to do with Jack. Was she going to kill him or just refuse to kill him? Jack had been a friend to her. She couldn't kill her friends. Her phone rang as it distracted her from her thoughts.

"Hello?" she answered.

"Michelleare you here yet?" Mandy asked her. She was waiting out of the car for the two of them. Isabelle was in the car with a tied-up Chris, so if anything went wrong, Isabelle would drive the car out of the cliff.

"A-a-almost," Michelle stuttered.

"Oh stop stuttering Michelle," Mandy told her, "everything is going to be fine. You kill Jack and you get your son back. See you later Michelle," Mandy said as she shut the phone.

Michelle looked at the phone that she had just talked to. She felt her throat tighten and a tear falling from her eyes. She felt a hand on her shoulder. She thought it was Tony's but she turned to look it was Jack's.

"Everything is going to be fine," Jack assured her.

That's what they all say Michelle thought to herself unless something horrible happens.

In the mountain cliff that they were waiting, Mandy paced back and forth for Jack and Michelle to arrive. She checked the time. It was ten fifty-five a.m. Five minutes had passed since she had phone called Michelle.

She heard a car approaching. She saw that black car and knew that it was Michelle's. Her phone rang and she picked it up.

"I'm here," Michelle said, "what do you want to do?"

"Slowly bring yourself and Jack Bauer out here," Mandy said. Her green snake-like eyes looking at the car. The door opened and Michelle came out. Michelle walked over to the other side of the car and motioned for Jack to come out.

Jack put his hands up in the air and then behind his head once he was out of the car. Michelle held the gun up behind him as the two of them walked to Mandy.

Once Mandy had them in her sight she smiled. "Stop," she ordered and the two of the stopped walking. "Nice to meet you Michelle," Mandy said as she smiled at her. "Get down on your knees Bauer," Mandy said.

Jack looked at Mandy and then at Michelle. He slowly got down on his knees and waited for the order to come.

"Now Michelle," Mandy said, "put the gun on his left temple." Michelle did as she wad told. "Shoot him."

Michelle held her hand at the trigger. She couldn't do it. She couldn't kill a friend. She thought of bringing the gun up at Mandy and shooting her in the heart but if she did that, she wouldn't be able to stop Isabelle from driving the car off of the cliff. She looked at the green van that was parked there. In that van, Isabelle was in the driver's seat while Chris was in the back.

Something was happening to her. She was hyperventalating. She felt some beads of sweat trickling down her face along with tears. She felt like she was about to faint right in front of them.

"Just do it Michelle," she heard Jack's deeps voice whispering to her, "everything will be fine."

"I can't," she whispered back.

"Do it for your son," he whispered back at her.

She wanted to save her son but she didn't want Jack to die. There was a sudden yell and Michelle turned her head to look. Tony had jumped out of the bushed and tackled Mandy to the ground. He had put his arm on Mandy's throat. Everything had happened so fast that Michelle failed to see the van moving.

Isabelle saw what happened and she turned the gear shift on drive and she qucikly drove off of the cliff.

"No! NO!" Michelle yelled as she ran afer the van that fell of the cliff.

"MICHELLE!" Jack yelled as he ran after her.

Jack's calling her name was deafening to her ears. She thought that she was on land as she took her last step but she fell forward and fell down the cliff. Jack quickly lashed out his hand and wrapped his hand around her wrist. Using his strength he pulled up Michelle and set her down on the ground.

"Michelle, Michelle," Tony said as he got up from Mandy and went over to Michelle. Jack ran over to Mandy and handcuffed her. He picked Michelle from the ground and held her body close to his.

Michelle fianlly found her surroudings. She closed her eyes as some loud cries and tears flowed down her cheeks as she hugged Tony.
