11.00pm, CTU Los Angeles

She's escaped! This is great news! Alex was overjoyed by the news that Kim had gotten away from the Drazens. Now we just need Jack to get back here and the Bauers can be reunited! He looked over towards Teri, who was obviously ecstatic at the news. He couldn't believe how much the poor woman had gone through. He didn't really know too much about why the Drazens wanted to hurt Jack's family, but he did know it was to do with a mission Jack took part in in Yugoslavia a few years ago.

Wow, this keeps getting better! Alex thought as the news report being broadcast said that Senator Palmer had not actually died in the blast. He knew that Palmer had, just a few hours earlier, spoken to the press on national television and showed a lot of honesty adn courage, which had been well recieved by the public. And so they should, Alex told himself, it's a rare thing to see, an honest politician.

"Good news, everyone. Jack just took down the Drazens, all by himself!", Mason announced to the CTU staff, a huge grin plastered onto his face. Alex was relieved that the day was finally at an end, as well as glad that all three Bauers were now safe. What a day this has been!

11.32pm, CTU Los Angeles

Alex went up to Teri to talk to her. She smiled as he greeted her.

"Hi, Teri. I was just wondering how you were feeling? Much better than earlier, I hope?", he asked her.

"I'm feeling a lot better, yeah!", she said, smiling.

"This should all be over soon, and you and your family will be reunited. You know, this was my first day here at CTU LA, and I actually asked Nina this morning when she rang me if I was in for a baptism of fire!", to which they both laughed.

"I'm sure days like these are extremely rare, Alex", Teri commented."Do you know where Nina is? I want to talk to her"

"Er, no, but she should be around somewhere. I'm sure she'll be busy at the moment, though, so maybe just wait here for a few minutes, would that be ok?"

"Yeah, yeah, that's fine" Teri replied. I don't want to just sit around, I'm going to have a look for her myself, she decided.

"Alex? You seen Nina anywhere?', Mason questioned.

"Er, not for the last half hour or so, no. Teri wanted to speak to her, but I think she's gone off to look for her herself". At this, Mason's face went pale.

"Did you see which way Teri went, Alex?"

"No, sorry". Oh, that's just great! Nina's possibly a traitor and Teri Bauer's putting herself in danger by looking for her!

11.47pm, CTU Los Angeles

Mason was now back in his office. He still hadn't located Nina or Teri and, to make things worse, he had just seen eveidence that proved that Nina killed Jamey. So Nina is the mole? She's played us all! He slammed his fists onto the table and ordered a lockdown.

11.53pm, CTU Los Angeles

"Jack's caught her! They're in the parking lot!", Mason yelled as he, Tony, Alex and two security guards rushed towards the garage. As they enetered, they saw Jack and Nina's cars. Nina had crashed into another car, and Jack had parked next to hers. Jack had a gun to Nina's head, and was holding her by the throat. He was saying something to her, but they couldn't make out what he was actually saying.

"Jack, come on, we need her alive", Mason encouraged him to let Nina go. Not that she deserves to live, but she had information which could be very useful, he thought as anger at Nina threatened to surface.

"Come on Jack, go be with your family", he tried again, this time he succeeded. Jack let go of Nina and surrendered his weapon. The two guards picked her up adn arrested her. As they did so, Jack and Mason started to walk back into CTU.

Alex just stared at Nina. He couldn't, wouldn't beleive that Nina was a mole, a murderer. He looked into her eyes to try to recognise her. But I can't.

11.55pm, CTU Los Angeles

Jack embraced Kim in a tight hug and they remained there for a minute, before Jack realised Teri was missing. He and Kim decided to go and look for her. As they travelled around the building, they came to the floor where Nina had killed the security guard after leaving the transformer room. Jack was shocked, and worried, adn told Kim to go back to the main area of CTU. He ran down the corridor until he reached a room where his life as he knew it would be shattered.

Teri? Teri?! Oh God, no. Please, not Teri!

11.56am, CTU Los Angeles

Tony didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He had just seen his girlfriend arrested for being a mole, a traitor to her country. She betrayed us, Tony, and now you'll always be seen as the one she betrayed the most! You're connected to her forever, Tony!

11.57pm, CTU Los Angeles

Alex was alone with a security guard in the parking lot. He was still in shock at what he had just seen. How can I possibly come to terms with all of this?, he asked himself. Then, from the guard's radio, words that he would never forget.

"Looks like she killed more than just some guards. A civilian is dead, too. A woman called Teri Bauer"

Alex felt sick and started to walk towards the entrance of the main building, but couldn't bring himself to go inside. Instead, he leaned against the wall and allowed himself to slowly sink to the floor. There he sat, his eyes staring into empty space. What have you done, Nina? What have you done?
