The following takes place between 1:00 Pm and 2:00 Pm
It has been one day since federal agent Jack Bauer went into the hospital after stopping a war with three innocent countries and getting a nuclear bomb off United States soil. Also President Palmer has been in the hospital after his press conference where right as he was leaving he collapsed.
Kim was walking down the hall of the hospital with a trey of food in here hand when she came to the door leading to room number seventy eight. She opened the door and walked into the room, she put the trey down on a table and walked over to her fathers bed. She looked down at him and said
"Dad wake up"
She shook him a couple of times and Jack looked up at her and said
"Hey sweetheart"
Kim smiled at him and said
"I guess you needed that sleep you have been sleeping since yesterday"
Everything that happened yesterday came into Jacks head then he looked at Kim and said
"Yeah a lot happened yesterday, by the way where is Kate?"
Kim looked at him and said
"She was here last night but she went home to get some rest she said that she would come back today, what is going on with you two any way?"
Jack looked at her confused and said
"What do you mean?"
"Are you guys dating or something?"
"No I just met her yesterday nothing like that is going on"
Kim smiled at him and walked over to the trey and picked it up and put it on her fathers lap
"I went home and made it this morning its steak and corn"
Jack looked up at her and said thanks then he began to eat the food. After about ten minutes he was finished eating and he put the trey on the side table next to his bed. Right as he put it down his doctor came into the room and said
"Ah your awake I'm glad to see that you saved all our lives today I am really great full"
Jack looked at him and smiled and then said
"So how am I doing?"
The doctor said
"Your doing just fine no major heart problems we got that under control you just need to rest for a few days and take some pills I am going to give you every four hours and you will be fine"
Jack looked at him and thanked him then the doctor walked out of the room. Kim walked over to a bag in the corner of the room picked it up and walked back over to her father. She handed her father the bag and said
"I went to the house and got you some clothes"
Jack thanked her and got up and went into the bathroom to change. Right after Jack got his pants on Kim yelled
"Dad come out and look at this"
Jack ran out of the bathroom and looked up at the T.V and the news reporter said
"A day has passed since federal agent Jack Bauer got a nuclear bomb out of Los Angeles and stopped a major war, right after the president called off the bombers to bomb the innocent countries he gave a press conference when he was leaving the conference he collapsed suddenly in front of his limo. The skin on his hand was burning off and he passed out. Some kind of acid entered his body through his hand and made him sick. They don't know what the acid is yet but Palmer is stable at the present time. We will keep you posted when we learn more. For Fox Twenty Five news this is David Wade.
Jack looked down at his shirt and put it on the walked over to his bed and put his shoes and socks on. Kim looked at him and said
"Where are you going?"
"I'm going to CTU to see if I can help in any way"
"But the doctor said.."
"I know what the doctor said but I want to help"
Kim looked at him then got her coat on and they both ran out of the room right as they were about to get on the elevator Jacks doctor stopped them and said
"Jack where are you going?"
Jack looked at him and said
"You heard about the president right?"
"Yeah"
"Well I am going to CTU to help them figure out who did this"
"But you need to rest"
"I know please just let me go"
The doctor looked at him and said
"Ok just take these pills every four hours or you will get the pains again"
Jack took the pills and got in the elevator and pressed the button for the lobby. As the elevator was going down he looked at Kim and said
"Do you have your car?"
"Yes"
"Let me see the keys"
She handed Jack the keys and they both got out of the elevator and ran to her car. They both got in and Jack started the car and started driving to CTU.

Tony Almeda was sitting at his desk when his phone rang
"CTU Almeda"
"Tony its Chappell from district listen I want Jack Bauer working with your guys to find out who plotted the hit on Palmer"
"Ryan I cant Jack is in the hospital he might have heart problems"
"Look Tony I don't want to have another day like we did before just do what I say"
"Ryan I am not calling him in he is in the hospital damn it!"
"This is a order from the President!"
"Well tell him Jack Bauer is in the hospital with hear problems!!"
Tony slammed down the phone and rubbed his face. Michelle came up to Tony's office and said
"What's wrong I heard you yelling up here?"
"Chappell wants me to send in Jack but I told him he was in the hospital but he doesn't care"
Michelle looked at him and sighed
"Some people will never change"
Tony looked at her and laughed and said
"You know I'm thinking you remember the plot to kill Palmer a year ago?"
Michelle looked at him and said
"Yeah"
"Well the sniper that tried to kill him was dressed up like a photographer but no one ever found him I'm thinking that he mite be involved with this one"
Michelle looked at him and then Tony said
"It's just a theory I'm probably wrong, anyway is there a way you can get a list of names of the people who were at the press conference?"
"I can try"
"Ok go do that for me then"
Michelle walked down the stairs and Tony just looked around his office then closed his eyes.

Jack pulled up to the CTU parking lot and walked into the building and walked up to Tony's office. Tony looked at Jack and said
"Jack what are you doing here?"
"The doctor let me go because I wanted to come here and help out"
"Shouldn't you be resting with your heart problems and everything?"
"I'm fine as long as I take pills every four hours"
"Oh well Chappell wanted you working here any way but I refused to call him you should call in and let him know you're here"
Jack picked up his cell phone and dialed Chappell's number"
"Ryan Chappell"
"Ryan, Jack here why did you want me in?"
"I don't know it was the Presidents order so I had to follow out with it, I thought Tony said you were in the hospital?"
"I was but I came in on my own, Tony told me you said your still a real bastard I figured you would of lightened up a little"
"Yeah well the President wants to see you at the hospital"
"What hospital is he at?"
"The one in North Hollywood"
"Really, I was just there ok what room number?"
"Twenty Seven"
Jack hung up the phone and looked at Tony
"I need a car ready in five minutes"
Tony got up and went down stairs, Jack turned to Kim and said
"Listen I want you to go home and stay there if any thing comes up call me ok?"
"But dad I don't want to be alone again"
"Kim I don't want to leave you alone either but I cant take you with me now just go to the house ok?"
Kim nodded Jack handed her the keys to her car and the house and kissed her on the fore head and said
"I love you"
Kim smiled and ran down stairs and got into her car. Jack walked down stairs and saw Michelle
"Hey Michelle how are you doing?"
She looked up at him and said
"Hey Jack, I'm fine, I thought you were at the hospital"
"They let me out early"
She smiled then Tony walked up to Jack and said
"Jack I have been thinking remember the assaination attempt against Palmer last year?"
"Yeah"
"Well the guy that was dressed up like the photographer was never found I think he might be behind this"
Jack looked at him and thought for a minute and said
"You might be rite why don't you check on that for me"
"Ok, and you car is ready it's the silver Civic out side"
"Ok thanks Tony"
Jack ran out side got in the Civic and there was a brief case in the passenger seat. Jack opened it up. Inside there was a hand gun with eight clips and the keys to the car. Jack grabbed the keys and started up the car and took off.

Kim pulled up to the house and got out of the car and walked to the door and unlocked it. The alarm went off and she ran to it and entered the code and it went off. She walked around the house and looked around she hasn't been back ever since the night she got kidnapped. She ran up to her room and looked around. Everything there was still the same all he posters were up and he computer was still there. She turned on her computer and went through all he emails she had bout one hundred emails from all her friends. After she was done checking her emails and laid down on her bed and fell asleep.

Jack pulled up to the hospital and ran back in and walked up to the main desk.
"Where is President Palmers room?"
"I can't just let you in there you need access"
Jack pulled out his CTU id and showed it to the lady and she said
"I'm sorry that's not enough"
"Well then call his room and ask for clearance for Jack Bauer"
"I am only suppose to call if it is and emergency"
Jack began to yell
"Damn it lady this is a emergency"
"I'm sorry I can't let you in"
Jack pulled out his gun and pointed it at her head
"TAKE ME TO HIS ROOM NOW!"
The woman began to cry and Jack yelled
"NOW!"
She walked in front of him and took him to Palmers room. When the secret service saw Jack with the gun they ran to him and tackled him to the ground and took the gun out of his hands. They pulled Jack up and looked at him and said
"Bauer why did you have your gun pointed at this woman?"
"She wouldn't let me in I told her to call but she wouldn't so it was the only way I could get in"
One of them handed him his gun and took him into Palmers room. Palmer was sleeping and Jack stood by the window. He was looking at Palmer then up at the T.V and the reporter was reporting on Palmer. Jack then looked out the window and saw some one on the roof of the building across from the hospital with a sniper rifle. Jack turned around and yelled
"GET DOWN"
Right as Jack ducked down a bullet flew through the window shattering the glass.
