Audrey was on the phone with Chloe, who had informed her what had really been going on today.
"That's so sad, I never meant for this when I had the two of you help me," she informed Chloe.
"Yeah, I know, you know it's not your fault," Chloe assured Audrey.
"I guess," she replied.
"Well, I'm going to go, I'll talk to you tomorrow," Chloe said.
"Okay, talk to you then, bye," Audrey said and they hung up. Audrey went about what she had already been up to. It was now nearing eleven, but she didn't care for she didn't sleep much. She had spent this night and the night before it on the phone with different departments in DC, where they were growing quite annoyed with the Secertary of State's daughter who kept calling at DC's hour of about five in the morning and earlier. She didn't have a care at all though, for she was the most determined woman you'd ever meet at this point. So far nobody had given her exactly what she had wanted. She went to bed around one-thirty in the morning.
The next morning Chloe and Morris walked in to CTU, where they found two techs, and no sign of Bill or Karen. There was a memo on Chloe's desk stating her and the other department heads were in charge of CTU for the day. She asked the secertary who was in charge of keeping track of employees why Bill and Karen weren't there, and she said they had both called in sick. Most likely one of the very few sick days that Bill Buchanan and Karen Hayes had ever taken in their entire careers. She was soon however, destracted by the difficult task of helping run CTU, she didn't know how Bill did it. Audrey had shown up around two hours late and wanted to tell Chloe something, but she wasn't at her station. She soon found her in the situation room with her laptop.
"Why are you in here, and where's Bill?" Audrey questioned Chloe.
"The other department and I heads are incharge for the day, Bill and Karen have called in sick," Chloe explained, slightly annoyed with the interuption.
"Sick?" she inquired.
"Yeah," Chloe stated in the same tone as Audrey, in an "As if!" sort of way.
"Whatever," Audrey said, sort of waving it off. "Anyway, I wanted to tell you, that I'm coming out with the Chinese information. I'm going to tell my father, and then everyone else can know," Audrey said.
""You're telling Secertary Heller?" Chloe asked in astonishment.
"Yeah, why?" Audrey was confused by Chloe's confusion.
"Well, then won't he know you were in Washington?" Chloe informed her.
"Yes, but if we want this all done right I'm going to have to face that," she said, "I'll tell him everything I've done."
"Okay then, when?"
"Well, he's coming to L.A. in two days, we're going to have dinner so I'll ask him to come to my house, and that's where I'll tell him everything," she said.
"Good, I'm glad you have a plan."
"Okay, after I tell him, I'll call you, unless it's really late then I'll just tell you here."
"Sounds good, now I need to get to work," Chloe said and shunned Audrey out of the room, so she could focus. Audrey went back to her station where she tried focusing on her work herself. Finally the end of the day came, and Morris found himself waiting impatiently for Chloe.
"Come on love, it's almost nine-thirty," he informed her.
"I know, I know," she replied, furiously typing away at her laptop. She finally finished several mintues later and shut the lid to her laptop. "Okay, I'm done."
"Thank God," he said and headed for the locker room. Chloe reached for her laptop when her cell phone buzzed. She had recieved a text message from.. Bill? She clicked to read it and it stated, "I asked Karen to marry me, and she said yes, see you tomorrow! -Mr. Buchanan." Chloe couldn't believe it, what a day!
