Chapter 3

The following takes place between 11.00am and 12.00pm.

Guidance. This chapter contains some references of drugs.

Once again a dead man lies in the centre of a big city. The police rush over and push the citizens away. An ambulance is called but everyone knows it is too late.

Dukenham. The tourists slowly start to get up off the floor. Flanders checks to make sure that no one else is hurt and then runs over to the dead terrorists he shot. They are no ID's, passports or anything which would give a clue to who they were. He looks at the guns and sees they are made of silicon. These would have cost thousands. These terrorists are experts.

British CTU. Panic starts to spread as details of the third shooting, the explosion in the shopping centre and the events at Dukenham start to come in. Washington immediately knows they are connected and some time today they will use the Harrier to cause major destruction. He tries to contact Jack but his phone is switched off and they can't track him because he is not in the original car. Riley tells him that representatives of the RAF are on there way to CTU to discuss what may happen. He tells Riley to find out as much as he can about what happened at Dukenham. Washington walks into his office, picks up the phone and starts to dial.

Los Angeles. It's still night time when a phone rings to break the silence. George Mason angrily gets out of bed and walks to the phone. Washington is on the line. He tells Mason what is happening and tells him to resemble everyone at CTU within the hour. Mason rubs his eyes, picks the phone up again and rings up Tony.

Ambulances and the police arrive at the shopping centre. As they start to clear the rubble they realise that no one has survived the attack. Only a couple of miles away, John Adams, disguised as a normal teenager meets up with some friends and they head down a back alley. A photographer recognizes John and follows them. He sees John give someone money and in return he gives him some cocaine. The photographer gets his camera out and takes some pictures.

Downing Street. Peter has found John's phone and is ringing up all of the numbers. May is trying to avoid him. One of the bodyguards comes up to May and tells her that a newspaper journalist is hear. May forgot to cancel Peter's appointment at twelve. She goes to the journalist and tells him that Peter will not be able to be interviewed. The journalist tells her it will only take a couple of minutes. May goes to ask Peter and he says that he will do it when he has found John.

Jack is still on his way to Dukenham when a phone rings in the car. He finds it and answers it. The same caller tells him that when he gets to Dukenham, he must find and kill a Colonel Flanders. Jack looks up at a sign and sees that Dukenham is ten miles away.

As news goes on the television asking people to stay out of town centres, Colonel Flanders is being questioned by Terry Walters. Flanders tells him what happened and Walters says that because of his recklessness the Harrier has been stolen. He orders Flanders to hand in his resignation and leave the air base before 12.00pm.

CTU. The meeting has just started. Riley is talking about the terrorists. They were carrying silicon guns which don't show up on metal detectors. They cost thousands of pounds. They also take a long time to produce. These terrorists are experts and have been planning this attack for at least five years. The bullets from the sniper's are from a GFT4 Rifle. These are Japanese made weapons and are top of the range. However the Japanese army have not reported that any of these weapons have been stolen. They must be an insider within the Japanese government. Washington tells Riley to contact Japan and tell them. One of the members of the RAF talks about the Harrier. It was an experimental module with traits to be a killer. It doesn't get picked up by radar and is equipped with a mini nuclear weapon. This could easily destroy a city the size of London. The terrorists are experts as they have managed to hack into the mainframe and make it so even we can't see where it is. After it is over, Brent gives Washington a list of people who were in the cafeteria. No one has any reason to be killed. Once again it was just used to create havoc. He tells her to go to Dukenham and make a report of how the terrorists acted. He then goes into his office and phones Mason up. He has read the brief and they are researching who the prisoner is who was being transferred.

As clouds start to gather over London, the blue car parks at a reasonably big house in a suburb. The men and the prisoner walk into the house. The prisoner asks "has it took place yet". One of the men says "within ten minutes, sir".

Jack is now walking into Dukenham. The caller rings and tells him to say he is hear on CTU duty. Jack walks up Walters and asks to speak to Flanders. Terry tells him that he is no longer part of the air force and has left the premises. Jack rings up the caller. He tells him that he doesn't need Jack anymore. He must go back to CTU and tell him as much or as little as he likes. However Jack mustn't contact Kim or she will have a bullet in her head. Jack throws the phone away and begins to head back to the car.

The caller is shown as one of the men with the prisoner. He rings up a sniper who is pointing at Kim and tells him to stay there for another hour.

Downing Street. Peter decides to do the interview. As he starts, John walks in. Peter gets up to yell at him. The journalist pulls his camera open and pulls out a silicon gun. A bodyguard jumps at him and pushes him to the floor. A shot is fired. The man is unconscious. Peter gets up and sees that John has been shot.

Birmingham. In a small residential district, kids are playing when a car drives past. It stops and a masked man comes out of it. He takes a gun out and shoots a man walking across the street. He then gets back in the car and it drives off.
