Authors Comment: I would like to take a minute and thank everyone who has reviewed this I have learned what to do with the story and what not to do…. Any way as I move on to chapter five I find my self lacking some ideas….. It may take a couple of weeks for me to update… don't worry I will up date though… I already know I will be doing a multiple ending.. Not that I know what the ending is yet but I will think of one.. .and I can assure I will write a 4th season because I enjoy writing stories about 24 so enjoy chapter 5. (In the beginning of the chapter (I know I have Jack get to CTU fast but I wanted it to be fast so I could pick up with the action)
The following takes place between 5:00 PM and 6:00 PM
Jack looked at the man in disbelief, he looked around and then said,
"What proof do you have, how do I know you are telling the truth?"
"He will be contacting me in about two minutes"
Jack picked up the mans cell phone and dialed CTU,
"CTU Desseler"
"Michelle its Jack, I need you to open a socket so you and the President can listen to the call that is about to be made to this phone, also record the conversation"
"Is the person calling the phone or are you calling him?"
"He will be contacting me"
"Ok I need your cell phone number so we can listen to the conversation"
Jack looked at the man and said,
"What is you cell phone number?"
"555-0948"
"Michelle did you hear that?"
"Yes I'm on it"
Jack hung up the phone and pointed the gun at the mans head,
"You are going to talk to Vice President Prescott if you tell him I am with you I will not hesitate to shoot you"
The cell rang it was Michelle, Jack picked up the phone,
"Jack its set"
"Thanks"
Jack hung up the phone and right as he hung it up it began to ring, before the man picked up Jack said,
"You had to of hade a tracker on me where is it?"
"When the man came in for Nina he put it in your pocket but it was destroyed in the blast"
"Of pick up the phone"
He picked up the phone, Jack hooked it up to the speaker phone and gave him the signal to talk,
"Yes Mr. Vice President"
" I didn't want it to come to this but we have to kill the President it is the only way to get him out of office"
"How?"
"I had some one place a bomb in the air duct of CTU, above holding room one the timer for the bomb is in the trunk of your car, when the timer is all the way down I want you to go to CTU and confirm that the President is dead"
"Yes sir but Jack Bauer is.."
Before he could finish Jack shot him in the head, Jack pushed his body out of the car and ran to the trunk of the car, he looked at the timer there was fifteen minutes left. Jack ran back into the car and picked up the cell phone,
"Michelle did you get all that?"
"Yes"
"Mr. President do not act on Prescott yet we need to confirm that it was Prescott, I want Secret Service to take you to a safe house Michelle will have some one go with you so he can direct you to the safe house, Michelle evacuate CTU"
"Jack CTU'S bomb disposal team is on vacation do you want some one to try to disarm the bomb?"
"No just get everyone out I will take care of it when I get there"
Jack pulled out of the parking lot, right as he pulled out Chappell pulled in he saw the body, turned around and followed Jack.
5:03:03
"The secret service rushed the President out of CTU, Michelle grabbed the recording and joined everyone across the street. Kim looked at Michelle and asked,
"What is going on?"
"There is a bomb in the building, Kim is there any where you can go"
"Yeah, my aunts but I want to talk to my father"
"Kate can you take her there?, and Kim I will have your dad call you when he gets the chance I promise"
Kate and Kim ran away and Kate closed her eyes hoping Jack would get here soon.
5:03:45
The Vice President turned around to Mike Novic and said,
"They know about the bomb"
"We don't know that he could of seen Jack coming then Jack could of killed him"
"You could be right, call Saunders and tell him to be on alert, Jack is still out there and the President could have gotten out of CTU in time"
Jack was sitting in the helicopter when the cell phone ring,
"Yea?"
"Jack Justin Robbins just ran into the building he is going to try to stop the bomb"
" I am just about there Chappell pulled up next to me there was a copter in the air were coming down in a second"
Jack hung up the phone and waited for the copter to land. When it landed Jack got out and ran into CTU, Justin's legs were hanging out of the duct. Jack grabbed his leg and pulled him down,
"Damn it what are you doing get out of here"
Jack climbed up into the vent and saw the bomb, there was about fourteen minutes left, Jack looked at it for a minute and realized it was just a timer, the bomb was some where else, Jack looked around but he could not see the bomb any where in sight. He went to his left and took a right. In front of him was a twenty five foot vent wall. On the top of the vent was the bomb, there was no way he could climb it. Jack crawled back over to the opening jumped out and ran to the armory. He grabbed a knife, wire cutters and a thick pair of gloves. He ran back up to the ventilation system and back to the wall. He jabbed the knife at the wall but it didn't go through right when he was about to jab again he hear Michelle yell,
"Jack do you have the bomb?"
"No, is there an axe any where in the building?"
"Yeah there is one in case of a fire"
"Get it"
After waiting for a second Jack heard a gun shot then a scream, Jack ran, jumped down the vent shaft pulled out his gun and saw Michelle on the ground and saw Ryan Climes hiding behind a des. Jack jumped out and shot at him, he missed then he jumped back in to the room. Jack ran out pushed over a metal desk and ducked behind it. He made a hole in the desk so he could look out and see when Ryan was above the table getting ready to shoot. Ryan looked over the table, Jack jumped up and shot at him and Ryan ducked in time. Jack got up and quietly walked over to the table Ryan was behind. Jack ducked down and looked up right as Ryan put his head over Jack shot him in the chi, the bullet came out of the other end of his head splattering is blood and brains on the wall and the floor. His body leaned over the table and Jack ran over to Michelle, she was still breathing. Jack was about to pick up his cell phone when Tony walked in and said,
"What happened?"
Jack turned around and saw Tony,
"Where have you been?"
"The hospital, don't you remember?, you're the one who got me out of the woods when my helicopter crashed"
Jack looked at him strangely then said,
"No, something is going on though I was knocked out in the woods, there is something Chappell wants to tell everyone but he hasn't had the time yet, it will probably explain what happened to you"
Jack took the axe out of Michelle's hand and began to walk towards the vent Tony said,
"What are you doing?"
"There is a bomb in the building I am going to get it out of here"
Ryan ran into the building and said,
"Tony what are you doing?"
"I signed my self out I'm not hurt at all I'm lucky"
Chappell looked at Michelle then said,
"Jack what happened?"
"Climes got in here some how, I killed him but he shot Michelle while she was getting something for me, look just get Michelle to a hospital and a DNA match on Climes body I want to make sure it is him"
Jack walked back to the ventilation shaft and climbed back in it, he went to the high wall, drew the axe back and swung it at the wall. It made a hole in the wall big enough so Jack could put his foot on it. He made about six more holes next to each other. He dropped the axe and picked up the wire cutters and he put on the thick gloves. Jack grabbed one of the holes higher up and then put his foot on the bottom one and began to climb. He was about to reach the top when a piece of the vent stabbed through the glove, Jack drew his hand back in pain and quickly grabbed back on before he fell. He pulled him self to the top and looked at the bomb above him. There was twelve minutes and forty five seconds left. Jack grabbed the bomb with out hesitating and ripped it right off the top of the vent, as he ripped it the timer went down to two minutes.
"Damn it"
He held on to the bomb and jumped out of the ventilation shaft and ran out of CTU yelling,
"Ryan give me your car keys now!"
Ryan threw him the keys and Jack ran to his car and got in and started it up, he pulled out of the parking lot as fast as he could heading towards the beach. As he was driving his cell phone rang and he picked it up,
"Bauer" he said in a frantic voice,
"Jack it's Chappell, where are you taking the bomb?"
"To the beach I am going to throw it in to the ocean"
"That's to risky, do you know the ditch that there digging to put a new sub way station in on broad way street?"
"Yea"
"Throw it in there it should be deep enough"
Jack hung up the cell phone and did a U turn then took a right. On broad way street there was a huge line of traffic, Jack grabbed the bomb, got out of the car and began to run pushing people out of his way. There was only one minute left. Jack kept on running with the bomb and he reached the ditch. One of the construction workers stopped him and said,
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING!??"
"I am a agent for CTU this bomb is about to go off, the hole is deep enough if I throw the bomb in there no one will get hurt"
"I have three men in there I can't let you throw it in there"
"Get them out now!"
Jack and the constriction worker ran to the hole, and he yelled for everyone to get out. They started climbing up, Jack looked down at the bomb there was forty seconds left,
"There not going to make it"
"Hurry up" the other man yelled.
They sat there and watched them climb up, one made it to the top and watched with Jack and the other man. Another man mad it up and the one that was about to make it fell, Jack tried grabbing his hand but he fell to the bottom, he got up and tried climbing again.
"Thirty seconds"
Right as Jack said that the timer went down to ten,
"Damn it, it just skipped to ten seconds, I have to throw it in there"
The man hesitated for a second then said and a very sad voice,
"Go"
When Jack threw it there was seven seconds left, Jack and the two men ran away as fast as they could, right when they got across the street they saw the flames of the explosion shoot up out of the ditch and the mans body fly out of it. Jack leaned up against the side of the building next to him, put his arms on his head and slid down it mumbling to him self,
"How many people have to die?"
5:09:00
Jack was sitting on the ground starting to feel sick when his cell phone rang, he picked it up and said,
"Bauer"
"Jack It's Ryan, I thought you had the bomb out of CTU"
"I did it just blew up"
"Well a bomb just went off in holding room one, no one was in the building, thank god"
"Damn it they set two, I think Prescott had a feeling I was with him so he only told him about one of the bombs I will be back at CTU in a minute"
Jack hung up the phone and began to run back towards Chappell's car, he got in it backed up and drove back towards CTU.
Ryan looked around as he was walking back in side of the building, there was no serious damage besides the damage done to holding room. Everyone else went back into CTU and Tony walked up the Chappell and asked,
"So what happened earlier?"
"Listen, I will tell everyone when Jack gets back, right now set up a live feed over the phone so the President can hear this to, he hasn't been filled in yet"
Tony walked over to his phone and dialed the Presidents cell number,
"Hello?"
"Mr. President, its Tony Almeda were going to be briefing everyone when Jack gets back, also I should let you know that there was two bombs set, Jack got one out but we didn't know about the other one un till it blew up, no one was hurt and no serious damage was done"
"Damn it, I am glad to hear everyone is ok though"
"Yeah me to, I am going to be setting up the feed now, can you hold for a couple of minutes"
"Sure"
Tony turned everything on and said,
"Mr. President we are just waiting on Jack"
Jack pulled into the CTU parking lot, he walked into CTU showed the security guard his card then walked in, Jack found Tony and said,
"Do you have any clothes in your office?, I need to change"
"Yeah, hold on though we have the President on the phone were going to explain what happened earlier"
Jack sat down and Chappell began to speak,
(Sorry I don't feel like having to type everything back out again)
After Chappell finished Jack looked at him and said,
"I don't get it if the figured I was dead why would they go through the trouble?"
Chappell looked at him and said,
"To get some people of CTU out of the way"
Jack looked around and said,
"Mr. President don't say anything about Prescott yet I have a friend who works on the white house security cameras I'll have him pull up the video then after I watch it ill tell you what to do"
Tony took Jack up to his office and got him a pair of clothes, Jack went into the bathroom washed up and changed he came back out looking fresh and clean, he walked up to Tony and said,
"Where is Kim and Kate?"
"Michelle had them go to Kim's aunts"
Jack nodded then went back up into Tony's office and sat down.
Jacks cell rang and he picked it up,
"Bauer"
"Jack it's the President"
"What do you need?"
"I need you and Tony to help me before I say anything get him on the phone with you"
Jack walked over to the window and knocked on it, Tony looked up and Jack motioned for him to come up, Tony came up and Jack said,
"Mr. President I'll call you back on a CTU phone so me and Tony can listen"
Jack hung up the phone and Tony looked at him,
"What's going on?"
"I don't know the President said he needed your help and mine"
Jack picked up the phone and dialed the Presidents number,
"Palmer"
"It's Jack, I have Tony, what do you need?"
"Ok , there was a new Secret Service agent and he started today, his name tag said Joe Hoffa, he didn't look American so I looked into his files deeper, things only I can see and I figured out who he was"
"Who is he?"
"It's another Drazen, his name is Victor, oldest son out of the three named after his father"
Jack looked at Tony and said,
"Don't tell anyone anything there could be more than one man working with him, we cant get there by chopper, it will be to much noise and they would notice, to much traffic to go by car, what safe house are you at?"
" The address is Thirty Four Hampton AVE."
Jack looked at Tony and said,
"That's the one right on the water right?"
"Yeah"
"We have a team that stands by on the water I'll have them start to head to the safe house me and Tony will zip line down to the boat from a chopper when I call you I want you to take Drazen out side we will get him from there, I will be calling you soon"
Jack hung up the phone and Tony said,
"Are you nuts, Chappell isn't going to authorize that"
"Chappell isn't here anymore and your director of CTU, your going to authorize it"
Tony was about to pick up the phone when there was a knock on the door, Jack turned around and Milo walked in. Jack was surprised to see him and said,
"Milo what are you doing here?"
"Chappell called me in to replace Michelle"
Jack looked at him and smiled,
"Well it's good to have some on else in here that's been here for a while, most of the people are new"
Tony looked at Milo and said,
"Milo, I need you to cover for me, there is a problem with the President, he asked for me and Jack specifically just sit up here, if Chappell calls tell him I am working on something down on the floor if he asks for me call Jack's cell and patch me through"
Milo rolled his eyes and looked around,
"I haven't even been here for two minutes and you all ready having me breaking protocol"
"Please Milo just do it"
"Fine"
"Tony picked up the phone and called the boat team"
Jack walked down stairs and waited for Tony, he came down and said,
"Choppers on the roof, we should be over the boat in about five minutes"
5:15:00
Drazen was standing in front of the President when he walked in to the kitchen and pulled one of the other Secret Service agents aside and said,
"We should do it now our time is drawing short we should do this now"
"Your right, we need to kill Bauer, for your brothers and your father, I'll go take care of the other men, get the President now"
Drazen walked to the President and pointed his gun at his head,
"Get up now"
The President looked at him and said,
"I knew it, you are a Drazen"
"That's right I am, get up now"
"And you expect to get away with this, Security!"
The other man walked in and said,
"Your security is already dead", he dropped the head of Eric, the secret service agent Palmer cared for the most.
Palmer put his head down and closed his eyes, Drazen took out his cell phone and dialed the number to CTU,
The phone rang and Milo picked it up trying to sound as much like Tony as he could,
"CTU Almeda"
"This is Victor Drazen, I need to speak to Bauer now"
Milo looked confused and said,
"Drazen is dead"
"I am his son, the only surviving one, Bauer killed all my other brothers, let me speak to Bauer now"
"Bauer can't talk right now"
"He can if I have the President at gun point"
Milo closed his eyes and said,
"Hold on a second"
Milo called Jacks cell phone he picked it up and said,
"Bauer"
Milo pushed a button and said,
"Speak"
"Bauer, it's Victor Drazen"
"What do you want?"
"I have Palmer at gun point, I want to exchange you for the President"
"And if I don't want to?"
There was a gun shot and Jack punched the side of the helicopter and said,
"Did you shoot him?, DID YOU SHOOT HIM!"
On the other line the President responded,
"Jack, he shot me in the stomach"
Drazen then said,
"Hurry up Bauer, the clock is ticking, he needs medical attention"
5:19:00
Tony looked down and said,
"The boat is down there we have to go now"
Jack and Tony attached there vests to the zip line and opened the choppers door, Jack jumped first then Tony. In the middle of the air Tony's line began to tangle, it wrapped around his body and stopped with a sudden jerk knocking the wind out of him. Jack landed on the boat and as soon as he landed there was a gun at his head,
"Victor is going to love this, the death of Jack Bauer and the President in the same day"
Jack looked up at the man, he had a black mask on. Jack stood up and when the man was going to tie Jacks hands together he jumped up in the air and kicked him in the stomach. Before the man fell off the boat Jack grabbed him took his gun and shot him in the chest. He then dropped his body in the water and took control of the boat. He turned it around and got under the helicopter, Tony was trying to grab a knife to cut the rope but he couldn't Jack picked up his cell phone and dialed CTU,
"CTU Almeda"
"Milo its Jack patch me through to the chopper pilot"
Milo patched him through to the pilot,
"Almeda is still attached to the chopper, have your co-pilot cut the rope I am under the chopper"
The co-pilot got up and began to cut Tony's rope, he fell on to the boat and Jack hung up the cell phone. Tony got up and walked over to Jack,
"Thanks, where is the team?"
"I think there dead, a man in a black mask was driving the boat, he tried to kill me"
Tony looked around and said,
"How are you going to get in, there is probably going to be a lot of guards"
"I have an idea"
5:21:00
The President was laying on the ground with a towel to his stomach, Drazen looked at his friend and said,
"We need him alive, make sure he lives, at least un till Ron gets here with Jack"
Jack was driving the boat when a cell phone rang, Jack looked to the left and there was a cell phone on the seat he picked it up and said,
"Yea"
"Bauer!?, where is Roy?"
"Dead"
"Bauer this is going to happen my you come we will put Palmer on the boat you are on and my friend will drive him back"
"You think I am going to let your friend drive him back, I have on other agent with me, he will be bringing him back"
"Jack don't push it"
"It's the only way your getting me, you don't comply I will have a team come in"
"Fine"
Jack hung up the phone and said,
"Get ready as soon as we see them on land shoot"
Drazen grabbed the President and said,
"Come on were going out side to wait for Bauer"
The President and Drazen walked out side, Drazen picked up his radio and said,
"Is everyone ready"
"Yes"
Bauer saw the house coming into view, he turned to Tony and said,
"Drazen is most likely out by him self with snipers standing by, we shoot Drazen jump out of the boat and let it crash into the house, get Palmer and get clear of the house, you grab Palmer I will cover you when your in a safe place call me"
Jack took out his hand gun as Drazen and Palmer came in to view,
"Ready, shoot!"
Tony and Jack both shot at Drazen, the President fell to the ground as Drazen let got of him and took cover. Jack and Tony jumped out of the boat and the boat crashed into the house and caught flames, the whole safe house was up in flames. Tony ran over and got the President and ran. Jack began to shoot at the men who where going after them. Jack dove behind a box and watched Tony and the President run into the woods. He jumped back out and shot the three men in front of him. He turned around and saw Drazen chasing Palmer and Tony. Jack picked up his cell phone and began to chase them. He dialed Tony's number and Tony picked up,
"Almeda"
"Tony watch your back Drazen is behind you, I can see him but there is to many bushes for me to get a clear shot"
Jack hung up the phone and kept on running.
Tony and the President were running when the came to a sudden halt and a huge hill leading to a high way, Tony looked at the President and said,
"Are you seriously hurt"
"I don't think he hit any organs"
"We have to roll down this hi…"
There was gun fire, Tony turned around and saw Drazen, Tony grabbed the President and jumped on the hill. Jack saw Tony the President and Drazen just drop down, he kept running and when he got the hill he jumped, he hit the ground and began to roll down. They were all rolling down hitting rocks and braches as the fell, Tony and President got to the bottom, Tony covered the President as Drazen rolled by them, Drazen rolled into the high way and a Mack Truck hit him, dragging him down the road. Jack stopped him self right before the President and Tony and ran towards them and ducked down near the President,
"Mr. President are you ok?"
"I think I broke my leg on the way down"
"How is your stomach?"
"Fine I don't think he hit any organs"
Jack picked up his cell phone and dialed CTU,
"CTU Milo"
"Milo it's Jack get a medical team to our location now"
"Where are you?"
"I'm not sure it's a high way near the safe house, can you trace the call fast?"
"Yes, what is wrong?"
"The President got shot in the stomach, no organs hit though, his leg is broken to, I'll keep my cell on just hurry up"
5:26:04
Prescott turned around as Saunders walked into the room,
"Climes is dead"
"What?!, How?"
"Jack was taking the bomb out and Climes tried to stop him but Bauer killed him"
"Are you still tracking the President?"
"We were up to about two minutes ago, the trace went out, the tracker was destroyed we have men going there now"
Jack looked around while waiting for the medical team he picked up his phone and said,
"Milo, how much longer?"
"About five minutes"
A black SUV went by, as soon as it went by the breaks screeched and it began to back up, Jack picked up the President and ran into a patch of bushes with Tony. To men got out of the SUV and yelled,
"Bauer come out we know your hear with the President"
Jack looked at Tony and said,
"When I shoot both of them we run with the President"
Jack held up his gun and shot the man in the head, the other man turned around and Jack shot him before he could do anything. Jack put the Presidents arm around his shoulder and they ran with the President. They ran un till they found a patch of woods and they ducked down in it. Jack picked up the phone,
"Milo hurry up there on to us"
"I'm hurrying"
Jack took off his jump suit and ripped a piece off of it and wrapped it around the Presidents stomach,
"You will be in a hospital soon"
Jack was holding the phone to his ear when Milo said,
"You should be getting a call from Chappell in a second, he found out"
Tony's phone rang and he picked up it,
"Almeda"
"Tony what the hell are you and Jack doing?"
"The President was taken hostage, he asked for me and Jack."
"I don't care who the hell he asked for your suppose to run things by me first"
Tony's voice began to raise,
"Look Chappell I don't give a damn if your with district I am director of CTU I don't have to run anything by you the only thing you have to do is make sure I am doing my job and I know I sure as hell am"
Chappell paused for a second and said,
"Why didn't you call for a team?"
"We had a team on the water but they were killed so me and Jack were forced to go in alone, the President was shot in the stomach, we think no organs were hit, also his leg is broken Milo is tracking our call now, the man who had him hostage was Victor Drazen, the oldest sun out of the Drazen's Jack took out last year"
"Call me when you get back in"
Tony hung up the phone and looked at Jack,
"Chappell deserved that" he said with a slight smile.
"Milo do you got the trace?"
"Yes the team will be there in three minutes there in the air now"
"Ok"
5:28:03
Saunders picked up the phone and dialed Georges number,
Jack was ducking down with the President when he heard a cell phone ring in the distance. He ran out and looked around, it was coming from the pocket of one of the men he shot, he grabbed it and picked it up,
"Who is this?"
"Bauer!?"
"Who is this?"
"It's Saunders, what happened to my men"
"There dead, your not getting the President, a medical team is coming"
"Ohhh your mistaken Bauer we will find him"
"How?"
"Just trust me we will get him"
Saunders hung up the phone and Jack ran back to the President and Tony,
"Who was it?"
"Saunders"
Jack put pressure on the Presidents stomach and waited for the helicopter, he thought for a second then said,
"Saunders said they would get the President, the chopper that's coming it could have his men on it I will have to fly the plane and take him to the hospital"
"We need to get him out of L.A."
"I know, I'm trying to think how I can do that"
Tony looked at him and said,
"My friend Collin, he is in the air force, I could have him take Palmer, he owes me any way"
"Call him now and tell him to meet us at the hospital"
Over head the noise of a chopper came, Jack looked up and the chopper was lowering down in the middle of the street, Police sirens burst out into the noise and pulled on to the road and set up several road blocks and the chopper landed. Jack walked into the helicopter and said,
"Everyone get out of the helicopter, we can trust no one I am flying the helicopter my self"
They all looked confused and Jack yelled,
"GET OUT NOW!"
Jack ran over to a officer and said,
"I'm flying the helicopter my self, we can't trust anyone based on a phone call I just got"
The officer looked at him and said,
"How do we know we can trust you?"
"Do you think I would have gone through all this trouble?"
The officer looked at him and told everyone in the helicopter to get out. Jack put the President on the stretcher and put him in the helicopter, Jack got into the pilot seat and Tony got in the co-pilot seat and closed the door. Jack lifted the helicopter into the air and took off, he turned to Tony and asked,
"Is your friend coming?"
"He will be at the hospital in ten minutes"
"Great"
5:30:00
Milo was sitting at Tony's desk when the phone rang, he looked down on everyone and saw Bill looking up at him with the phone in his hand, Milo picked up the phone and said,
"Yea?"
"I'm sending some new information to your screen, I have not read it, it is for Jack, Tony and you only"
"Ok send it"
Milo hung up the phone and waited, a red box popped up on the screen and he clicked it, it showed a list of names on a flight and there was a name highlighted, the name was David Gabalid. Milo looked at the name, confused he picked up the phone and dialed district.
"District"
"This is Milo over at CTU I need to speak to Chappell"
"What's you clearance number?"
"E5hf3"
"Ok I'll get him hold on one second"
Milo sat there for a minute then Chappell said,
"What do you need?"
"I don't know what I am looking for"
"The last name is the same last name as Asheed Gabalid"
"The one who blew up the U.S. Government Building a few years back?"
"Yes, he now entered the U.S again, don't tell Jack un till he gets back, he will get side tracked off the President, mean while look into any terrorist groups he works with"
"Ok"
Jack was sitting in the helicopter when the President started to speak,
"Jack if I don't make it I want you to check on my kids for me"
Jack looked at him,
"Mr. President do you feel like your dying?"
"No, no"
"Then your going to make it, be confident"
Jack looked at Tony and said,
"Give him some morphine were almost there"
Right as Tony got up there was a exploding noise in the back of the helicopter and it began to shake. Jack looked at the screen and it said engine failure, Jack looked behind him and said,
"Were going down, how many parachutes is there?"
Tony looked over and yelled,
"Two"
Jack punched the side, he knew someone on the helicopter was working with Saunders, a standard medical copter is suppose to have five parachutes, they took three out leaving two so either Jack or Tony would have to die. Jack looked at Tony and said,
"You and the President get out of here, I will find some where safe to crash the helicopter I still have little control of it"
"No Jack, I will take it you have Kim to go back to, she already lost Terri she can't loose you!"
Jack looked out in front of him and said,
"Tony I am doing it!"
"Jack, your not I am doing it, if you don't got with the President then I am staying here and we will all go down"
"Fine!"
Tony walked over to the seat and Jack got up, he put the parachute on him self and one on the President,
"Mr. President it's probably going to hurt when you land but we are going to make it"
Jack walked over to Tony and said,
"If you can try to find a way out, I feel guilty George risked his life for me and now you are"
"Jack you risk your life for everybody, its about time people start risking there lives for you"
Jack looked at him and said,
"Just try to find a way out"
Jack walked over to the President and helped him to the door, he opened it and the President jumped out, Jack looked at Tony one last time then jumped out also.
5:34:04
Tony was sitting in the helicopter and he began to direct it towards and empty parking lot. He began to sweat and get nervous. There was another explosion in the back and the last engine was gone. The helicopter began to go towards the ground faster and faster. Tony got out of the seat and when he was thirty feet above the ground he jumped out. After falling through the air he finally hit the ground and everything went black.
Jack looked over to his right and saw the plane crash into the ground. He closed his eyes knowing that it was very unlikely that he survived. He looked at the President floating through the air. Finally the President hit the ground and so did Jack. Jack took off his parachute and ran over to the President and took off his.
"Are you ok?"
"Yea"
"The hospital is right there, when we get there a friend of Tony's is going to take you on another helicopter and fly you back to D.C there will be one other person on the helicopter to get you in a cast and get the bullet out, when you get to D.C don't act on Prescott I am calling my friend for the security tape, when I get information I will call you ok?"
The President nodded, Jack helped him up and let the President lean on him, they began to walk to the hospital. They got there and Jack walked up to the front desk,
"We need medical attention for the President right now, some one is coming here in about five minutes, he will be flying the President back to D.C I want your best medical D.R on the helicopter with him, right now just do anything you can for him, also I need to know, what room is Michelle Desseler in?"
"She just got out of surgery, you can't talk to her"
"She has information on a assaination attempt on the President, let me speak to her now"
"She is in room 45 A"
Jack ran over to the elevator and got in it. He pressed the button for 45 A and the elevator began to go up.
5:36:04
Michelle was sitting in the bed dosing on and off when a man walked into her room, he walked up to here and said,
"Where is the recording?"
She didn't answer,
"I will ask you one more time, where is the recording?"
Michelle didn't say anything and he grabbed her throat and began to choke her,
"Tell me where it is now!"
She was trying to scream but he covered her mouth and began to rip the bandages off her stomach. She was kicking him but he just kept on ripping them off. He smacked her and yelled,
"Tell me where the damn recording is now!"
She kicked him in the face and he began to pinch the tube that was supplying her with air,
"Tell me where it is or you will die!"
Jack walked into the room and saw the man holding her and Michelle kicking, Jack pulled out his gun and yelled,
"Put your hand above your head now!!"
The man let go of her and pulled out his gun, he turned around but before he could do anything Jack shot him in the chest and he fell to the ground, Jack walked up to him and was shocked when he saw who it was, it was CTU'S newest field agent Fred Montgomery, Jack knelt down and said,
"Are you working for Saunders?!"
The man nodded,
"Where is he hid…"
Before he could finish the question he died.
"Damn it"
Jack got up and walked over to Michelle,
"Are you ok?"
Michelle nodded and Jack said,
"I need the recording, were going to match it with a security tape and see if it was Prescott on the phone, do you have time on the recording,
She nodded and pointed over to her jacket on a chair, Jack walked over to it and checked the pockets, he grabbed the recording and walked over to her,
"I will have some Police officers come and stand by your door, your going to be ok"
She nodded and Jack walked out of the room, he saw a officer down stairs and said,
"I'm Jack Bauer with CTU there is a body in 45 A also I want two officers to guard that room while she is in here"
"Why is there a body?"
"He was trying to steal important information from her, luckily I go there in time"
The officer got up and ran to the elevator. Jack looked around and saw a man with a pilot uniform walk into the hospital, Jack walked over to him and asked,
"Are you Tony's friend?"
"Yea, where is he"
Jack hesitated for a second then said,
"They needed him back at CTU he told me just to wait here for you"
Jack walked over to the woman at the main desk,
"Did you do anything for the President?"
"They got a cast on him our Doctor will have to take the bullet out when he gets on the helicopter, we took a ex-ray the bullet didn't hit anything, he isn't going to die"
"Ok where is the helicopter?"
"On the roof we have it ready for you"
"Bring the President up there I will be there waiting"
Jack walked over to Tony's friend and said
"Follow me"
Jack found the stairs and they ran up to the roof,
"If anything happens to the President I will hunt you down and kill you, do you under stand?"
The man nodded and they waited. They brought the President up and Jack said,
"Your going to be ok, I call you when I talk to my friend"
Jack ran back down stairs and out of the hospital, he ran over to where the helicopter crashed, there was Police men and Fire men surrounding the area, Jack showed him his badge and they let him through, Jack walked up to one of the men searching through the helicopter and Jack asked,
"Did you find a body?"
"The only way we would have found a body is if he jumped out, there is no body in the area, who ever was in here burnt to a crisp there is nothing left"
Jack fell to the ground and rubbed his face, he sat there for a minute and picked up his cell phone. He dialed Chappell and waited for him to pick up,
"Chappell"
"Ryan its Jack, Tony, he, he is dead"
"WHAT!?, what are you talking about?"
"When we were flying the helicopter over the engine went out, there was only two parachutes, some one who was on helicopter took the other three out. Some one needed to crash the helicopter, I wanted to do it but Tony wouldn't let me"
"Where are you now?"
"This happened right near the hospital next to CTU so about two minutes from CTU"
"Jack go to CTU I will be there in about five minutes don't say anything to anybody un till I get there"
Jack hung up the phone and stood up, he walked away and began to walk towards CTU.
5:40:09
Milo looked around when his phone rang, he picked it up and Chappell was on the other line,
"Milo, did you find anything on Gabalid?"
"Nothing important just old records on him, he is connected to the Muslim terrorist group Second Line Marauders, there the most deadly terrorist group around right now"
"Ok look into that more see if you can find any names that are connected to that group"
"Ok"
Milo hung up the phone and began looking into it more.
Asheed walked into the ware house and looked around., he thought to him self that the ware house he was in would be good enough for what they are trying to do, it was located right in Los Angeles. He sat on the computer and began to type out a document. He then cracked into the CTU head quarters web site and typed up a document linking Ryan Chappell to there terrorist group. Asheed turned to his friend when he asked,
"Why do we need this Chappell man?"
"I'll tell you once Bauer has Chappell under arrest"
Milo was looking at a list of names when the page he was on went white, he called down to Bill and asked,
"Is your computer still up?"
"Yeah why?"
"The page I was looking at turned white and the computer froze, oh wait it's going now never mind"
He hung up the phone and looked at the list of people connected to the terrorist group, the last name at the list was Ryan Chappell,
"What the hell"
He clicked on the name and it brought up Ryan's picture and he clicked on it, it showed transactions between his bank account and the bank account of Asheed Gabalid, Milo picked up his phone and dialed Jack's Cell phone,
"Bauer"
"Jack its Milo I just found something important"
"Hold on a second I am walking into CTU now"
"Ok"
Jack hung up the phone and walked past the security guards and ran up to Tony's office,
"What is it?"
"First of all a terrorist named Asheed Gabalid has entered the U.S"
"When?"
"Today, but the thing I found is the Chappell is connected to the terrorist group"
Jack looked at Milo with wide eyes and said,
"What?"
"It has his name in a list of people connected with Asheed's terrorist group, it also shows transactions made between him and Asheed's bank account"
"I will be waiting in holding room two, tell him I want to see him when he gets here"
Jack began to walk out of the room when Milo asked,
"Where's Tony?"
Jack turned around and looked down,
"He died, our helicopter the engines failed but I think some one who flew the helicopter over sabotaged it, Tony flew the helicopter into a empty parking lot so no one would get hurt and me and the President could escape, don't tell anyone yet, wait un till Chappell is under control"
Jack walked out of the room and down the stairs into holding room two"
5:44:03
Kim and Kate pulled into Kim's aunts drive way and walked to the door and knocked on it, Kim's aunt ran to the door and opened it, she rushed out side and gave Kim a hug,
"Oh my god Kim I haven't seen you since your mothers funeral how are you?"
"I'm good"
"How are you about your mother?"
"Just starting to kind of get over it, dad still blames him self though"
"He shouldn't it wasn't his fault"
"I kind of realized that the other day, I thought it was his fault for the past year"
Kim watched them talk and then Kim's aunt asked,
"Who's this?"
"It's Kate, she helped my dad out the other day with the nuclear bomb threat, my dad is on another assignment I guess he wanted me to come here"
She looked at Kate and smiled, she then sighed and said,
"I feel so bad for your father, he needs a break"
"I know but he will do anything when it comes to his job"
Every one walked into the house and sat down.
Chappell walked into CTU and up to Milo's office,
"Is Jack here yet?"
"Uh, yeah he wants to see you in holding room two"
Chappell turned around and went back down stairs and walked into holding room two and Jack was sitting down,
"Jack, did you check the area for his body?"
"Yes, the flames were to much his whole body burnt into dust"
Jack got up and walked over to Chappell,
"Is there something you want to tell me Ryan?"
Ryan looked at him confused and said,
"What the hell are you talking about?"
Jack punched him in the stomach as hard as he could, when he buckled over Jack grabbed a pair of handcuffs and put one around Chappell's wrist and one around the arm of the chair and pushed Chappell into the chair, he took out another set and cuffed his ankle and the other side to the table leg.
"Jack are you crazy?"
"I will be back in a moment"
Jack walked out of the room and up to Milo's office.
Asheed watched through the monitors of CTU'S security cameras that he had set up two days before, his friend looked at him and said,
"Do we make the call yet?"
"No there are going to ask him some questions first we will call in about ten minutes"
Asheed turned around to the figure in the corner,
"Soon you will be free, Bauer and Chappell will be dead, but you my friend will be free"
5:47:04
Jack and Milo walked into holding room two and sat down on the other side of the table,
"What the hell are you doing Jack, when Randall hears about this you will be out of the Government business for ever"
Jack looked up at him with angry eyes and yelled,
"WHEN RANDALL FINDS OUT WHAT YOUR CONNECTED TO YOU WILL BE OUT OF THE GOVERNMENT BUSINESS AND IN JAIL FOR LIFE!!"
Chappell began to raise his voice and yelled,
"What are you talking about?!!"
Jack looked down at the lap top and picked it up, he walked over to Chappell with it and said,
"We know your working with Asheed, we have all the information we need right here"
Chappell looked over it a couple of times and said,
"It's lies all lies"
Jack took the mouse and clicked the link to the bank info and said,
"Then how come money was placed into his bank account from yours six months ago?"
"I don't have anything to do with them"
"Come on Chappell you cant deny it, you knew this was going to happen all along, trying to get me and Tony out of CTU that didn't work so you had a back up plane up your sleeve for a long time, how long did it take you to plan this out pretty clever I must say, did you know about the assaination attempt against Palmer to?"
Ryan looked up at Jack and tried staying calm but he couldn't,
"I don't know where you got this information from but it is bogus"
Jack just looked at him and said,
"We will have to see if Randall thinks this is bogus"
Jack picked up his cell phone and dialed Randall the director of districts number,
"District Randall"
"Randall, it's Jack"
"Bauer?, been breaking protocol lately"
"Actually no, its Chappell who is, he is connected with the terrorist group that Asheed is with"
"What information do you have on this?"
"Milo pulled some information up off a computer, there was some transactions made between Chappell's bank account and Asheed's about six months ago"
"Send the information to my computer, the number to send it to is Q987FRandall"
Jack typed in the code number then sent over the information that Milo had, there was silence for a second then Randall said,
"I will be there in about fifteen minutes I'm working on something different, do you have him in custody?"
"Yes"
Jack hung up the phone and looked at Chappell,
"Randall believes it"
5:50:00
Asheed sat there looking at the screen and listening to the conversation Bauer was having. When the conversation was over he looked at his friend and said,
"Give me the phone"
His friend walked over with the phone and he picked it up, he dialed Jack's cell phone number and Jack picked up,
"Bauer"
"Jack Bauer, I want to make a trade with you?"
"Who is this??"
"My name is Asheed"
Jack looked at Chappell and said,
"What ties dose Ryan Chappell have with your group?"
"That is who I want to trade, he is important to us"
Jack looked at Chappell and punched him in the face, he looked away and said,
"Who do you have?"
"A agent of yours"
Asheed looked over and said,
"You, what's your name?"
On the other end of the receiver Jack heard,
"Tony Almeda, I work with CTU if you don't let me go you will be killed!"
"TONY!", Jack yelled,
"Ah I see he is important to you"
"I will make the trade, where do we meet?"
"I will not be there it is to risky, my friend will make the trade at 54 Parson AVE. it's a abandon ware house, be there in ten minutes"
Jack hung up the phone and looked at Chappell,
"Tony is still alive and your important to them, were making a trade, or so they think"
Jack's cell phone rang again he picked it up,
"Yea"
"Oh yea and Jack, don't bring anyone but Chappell I have CTU'S cameras wired"
Jack hung up the cell phone and Chappell said,
"Do you think you can get him out of there alone you will be killed"
"I'm not pulling anything off, I am giving you to them and putting a tracker on you, I will have a team get you back so we can question you, Milo go get me a tracker"
Milo walked out of the room and Jack sat there waiting for Milo.
The four men in the black SUV were sitting across the street of Kim's aunts house, one of them picked up the phone and dialed a number,
"Asheed"
"Asheed, were in place do we get her now"
"No, you wait, if Mohammad doesn't kill Jack, I will call you then you take the girl"
He hung up the phone and Muhammad turned to him and said,
"Why do we need Chappell?"
"We have Mr. Almeda, Jack wants him back, he thinks Chappell is working with us so he will make the trade, Saunders wants Bauer, I want Chappell, Chappell is the one who put my brother into prison two years ago, once there dead, we move to our main objective"
Jack un cuffed Chappell's leg, he took the cuff that was attached to his hand and cuffed it to his other wrist. Milo walked in with the tracker and Jack put it in Chappell's pocket. Jack put a gun to Chappell's back and stayed close behind him, they both walked out of the room and walked out of CTU, right when they walked out Jack saw Randall walking down to the entrance. Jack covered Chappell's mouth and ducked behind a car. Randall walked into the building and Jack ran to Milo's car and got in it. Jack backed out and began to drive,
"If you say anything to this security guard I will drive right by him and shoot you, and don't try taking the tracker off"
"Why?"
Jack took a pill and shoved it in Chappell's mouth and forces him to swallow it,
"That's why"
The pulled up to the gate and the guard nodded and let them through. Right as they pulled through Jack's cell rang,
"Bauer"
"Jack its Randall where are you?"
"Asheed wants to trade, Chappell for Tony, I am making the trade then when I get Tony out I have a tracker in Chappell we will get him back"
"Jack get back here now"
"Sir, I am doing this if I screw up fire me"
"Jack.."
"Randall please it's our only chance to get Tony"
"Fine but if you screw up I will fire you"
"I understand"
Jack hung up the phone and began to drive.
5:59:58
5:59:59
6:00:00
The following takes place between 5:00 PM and 6:00 PM
Jack looked at the man in disbelief, he looked around and then said,
"What proof do you have, how do I know you are telling the truth?"
"He will be contacting me in about two minutes"
Jack picked up the mans cell phone and dialed CTU,
"CTU Desseler"
"Michelle its Jack, I need you to open a socket so you and the President can listen to the call that is about to be made to this phone, also record the conversation"
"Is the person calling the phone or are you calling him?"
"He will be contacting me"
"Ok I need your cell phone number so we can listen to the conversation"
Jack looked at the man and said,
"What is you cell phone number?"
"555-0948"
"Michelle did you hear that?"
"Yes I'm on it"
Jack hung up the phone and pointed the gun at the mans head,
"You are going to talk to Vice President Prescott if you tell him I am with you I will not hesitate to shoot you"
The cell rang it was Michelle, Jack picked up the phone,
"Jack its set"
"Thanks"
Jack hung up the phone and right as he hung it up it began to ring, before the man picked up Jack said,
"You had to of hade a tracker on me where is it?"
"When the man came in for Nina he put it in your pocket but it was destroyed in the blast"
"Of pick up the phone"
He picked up the phone, Jack hooked it up to the speaker phone and gave him the signal to talk,
"Yes Mr. Vice President"
" I didn't want it to come to this but we have to kill the President it is the only way to get him out of office"
"How?"
"I had some one place a bomb in the air duct of CTU, above holding room one the timer for the bomb is in the trunk of your car, when the timer is all the way down I want you to go to CTU and confirm that the President is dead"
"Yes sir but Jack Bauer is.."
Before he could finish Jack shot him in the head, Jack pushed his body out of the car and ran to the trunk of the car, he looked at the timer there was fifteen minutes left. Jack ran back into the car and picked up the cell phone,
"Michelle did you get all that?"
"Yes"
"Mr. President do not act on Prescott yet we need to confirm that it was Prescott, I want Secret Service to take you to a safe house Michelle will have some one go with you so he can direct you to the safe house, Michelle evacuate CTU"
"Jack CTU'S bomb disposal team is on vacation do you want some one to try to disarm the bomb?"
"No just get everyone out I will take care of it when I get there"
Jack pulled out of the parking lot, right as he pulled out Chappell pulled in he saw the body, turned around and followed Jack.
5:03:03
"The secret service rushed the President out of CTU, Michelle grabbed the recording and joined everyone across the street. Kim looked at Michelle and asked,
"What is going on?"
"There is a bomb in the building, Kim is there any where you can go"
"Yeah, my aunts but I want to talk to my father"
"Kate can you take her there?, and Kim I will have your dad call you when he gets the chance I promise"
Kate and Kim ran away and Kate closed her eyes hoping Jack would get here soon.
5:03:45
The Vice President turned around to Mike Novic and said,
"They know about the bomb"
"We don't know that he could of seen Jack coming then Jack could of killed him"
"You could be right, call Saunders and tell him to be on alert, Jack is still out there and the President could have gotten out of CTU in time"
Jack was sitting in the helicopter when the cell phone ring,
"Yea?"
"Jack Justin Robbins just ran into the building he is going to try to stop the bomb"
" I am just about there Chappell pulled up next to me there was a copter in the air were coming down in a second"
Jack hung up the phone and waited for the copter to land. When it landed Jack got out and ran into CTU, Justin's legs were hanging out of the duct. Jack grabbed his leg and pulled him down,
"Damn it what are you doing get out of here"
Jack climbed up into the vent and saw the bomb, there was about fourteen minutes left, Jack looked at it for a minute and realized it was just a timer, the bomb was some where else, Jack looked around but he could not see the bomb any where in sight. He went to his left and took a right. In front of him was a twenty five foot vent wall. On the top of the vent was the bomb, there was no way he could climb it. Jack crawled back over to the opening jumped out and ran to the armory. He grabbed a knife, wire cutters and a thick pair of gloves. He ran back up to the ventilation system and back to the wall. He jabbed the knife at the wall but it didn't go through right when he was about to jab again he hear Michelle yell,
"Jack do you have the bomb?"
"No, is there an axe any where in the building?"
"Yeah there is one in case of a fire"
"Get it"
After waiting for a second Jack heard a gun shot then a scream, Jack ran, jumped down the vent shaft pulled out his gun and saw Michelle on the ground and saw Ryan Climes hiding behind a des. Jack jumped out and shot at him, he missed then he jumped back in to the room. Jack ran out pushed over a metal desk and ducked behind it. He made a hole in the desk so he could look out and see when Ryan was above the table getting ready to shoot. Ryan looked over the table, Jack jumped up and shot at him and Ryan ducked in time. Jack got up and quietly walked over to the table Ryan was behind. Jack ducked down and looked up right as Ryan put his head over Jack shot him in the chi, the bullet came out of the other end of his head splattering is blood and brains on the wall and the floor. His body leaned over the table and Jack ran over to Michelle, she was still breathing. Jack was about to pick up his cell phone when Tony walked in and said,
"What happened?"
Jack turned around and saw Tony,
"Where have you been?"
"The hospital, don't you remember?, you're the one who got me out of the woods when my helicopter crashed"
Jack looked at him strangely then said,
"No, something is going on though I was knocked out in the woods, there is something Chappell wants to tell everyone but he hasn't had the time yet, it will probably explain what happened to you"
Jack took the axe out of Michelle's hand and began to walk towards the vent Tony said,
"What are you doing?"
"There is a bomb in the building I am going to get it out of here"
Ryan ran into the building and said,
"Tony what are you doing?"
"I signed my self out I'm not hurt at all I'm lucky"
Chappell looked at Michelle then said,
"Jack what happened?"
"Climes got in here some how, I killed him but he shot Michelle while she was getting something for me, look just get Michelle to a hospital and a DNA match on Climes body I want to make sure it is him"
Jack walked back to the ventilation shaft and climbed back in it, he went to the high wall, drew the axe back and swung it at the wall. It made a hole in the wall big enough so Jack could put his foot on it. He made about six more holes next to each other. He dropped the axe and picked up the wire cutters and he put on the thick gloves. Jack grabbed one of the holes higher up and then put his foot on the bottom one and began to climb. He was about to reach the top when a piece of the vent stabbed through the glove, Jack drew his hand back in pain and quickly grabbed back on before he fell. He pulled him self to the top and looked at the bomb above him. There was twelve minutes and forty five seconds left. Jack grabbed the bomb with out hesitating and ripped it right off the top of the vent, as he ripped it the timer went down to two minutes.
"Damn it"
He held on to the bomb and jumped out of the ventilation shaft and ran out of CTU yelling,
"Ryan give me your car keys now!"
Ryan threw him the keys and Jack ran to his car and got in and started it up, he pulled out of the parking lot as fast as he could heading towards the beach. As he was driving his cell phone rang and he picked it up,
"Bauer" he said in a frantic voice,
"Jack it's Chappell, where are you taking the bomb?"
"To the beach I am going to throw it in to the ocean"
"That's to risky, do you know the ditch that there digging to put a new sub way station in on broad way street?"
"Yea"
"Throw it in there it should be deep enough"
Jack hung up the cell phone and did a U turn then took a right. On broad way street there was a huge line of traffic, Jack grabbed the bomb, got out of the car and began to run pushing people out of his way. There was only one minute left. Jack kept on running with the bomb and he reached the ditch. One of the construction workers stopped him and said,
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING!??"
"I am a agent for CTU this bomb is about to go off, the hole is deep enough if I throw the bomb in there no one will get hurt"
"I have three men in there I can't let you throw it in there"
"Get them out now!"
Jack and the constriction worker ran to the hole, and he yelled for everyone to get out. They started climbing up, Jack looked down at the bomb there was forty seconds left,
"There not going to make it"
"Hurry up" the other man yelled.
They sat there and watched them climb up, one made it to the top and watched with Jack and the other man. Another man mad it up and the one that was about to make it fell, Jack tried grabbing his hand but he fell to the bottom, he got up and tried climbing again.
"Thirty seconds"
Right as Jack said that the timer went down to ten,
"Damn it, it just skipped to ten seconds, I have to throw it in there"
The man hesitated for a second then said and a very sad voice,
"Go"
When Jack threw it there was seven seconds left, Jack and the two men ran away as fast as they could, right when they got across the street they saw the flames of the explosion shoot up out of the ditch and the mans body fly out of it. Jack leaned up against the side of the building next to him, put his arms on his head and slid down it mumbling to him self,
"How many people have to die?"
5:09:00
Jack was sitting on the ground starting to feel sick when his cell phone rang, he picked it up and said,
"Bauer"
"Jack It's Ryan, I thought you had the bomb out of CTU"
"I did it just blew up"
"Well a bomb just went off in holding room one, no one was in the building, thank god"
"Damn it they set two, I think Prescott had a feeling I was with him so he only told him about one of the bombs I will be back at CTU in a minute"
Jack hung up the phone and began to run back towards Chappell's car, he got in it backed up and drove back towards CTU.
Ryan looked around as he was walking back in side of the building, there was no serious damage besides the damage done to holding room. Everyone else went back into CTU and Tony walked up the Chappell and asked,
"So what happened earlier?"
"Listen, I will tell everyone when Jack gets back, right now set up a live feed over the phone so the President can hear this to, he hasn't been filled in yet"
Tony walked over to his phone and dialed the Presidents cell number,
"Hello?"
"Mr. President, its Tony Almeda were going to be briefing everyone when Jack gets back, also I should let you know that there was two bombs set, Jack got one out but we didn't know about the other one un till it blew up, no one was hurt and no serious damage was done"
"Damn it, I am glad to hear everyone is ok though"
"Yeah me to, I am going to be setting up the feed now, can you hold for a couple of minutes"
"Sure"
Tony turned everything on and said,
"Mr. President we are just waiting on Jack"
Jack pulled into the CTU parking lot, he walked into CTU showed the security guard his card then walked in, Jack found Tony and said,
"Do you have any clothes in your office?, I need to change"
"Yeah, hold on though we have the President on the phone were going to explain what happened earlier"
Jack sat down and Chappell began to speak,
(Sorry I don't feel like having to type everything back out again)
After Chappell finished Jack looked at him and said,
"I don't get it if the figured I was dead why would they go through the trouble?"
Chappell looked at him and said,
"To get some people of CTU out of the way"
Jack looked around and said,
"Mr. President don't say anything about Prescott yet I have a friend who works on the white house security cameras I'll have him pull up the video then after I watch it ill tell you what to do"
Tony took Jack up to his office and got him a pair of clothes, Jack went into the bathroom washed up and changed he came back out looking fresh and clean, he walked up to Tony and said,
"Where is Kim and Kate?"
"Michelle had them go to Kim's aunts"
Jack nodded then went back up into Tony's office and sat down.
Jacks cell rang and he picked it up,
"Bauer"
"Jack it's the President"
"What do you need?"
"I need you and Tony to help me before I say anything get him on the phone with you"
Jack walked over to the window and knocked on it, Tony looked up and Jack motioned for him to come up, Tony came up and Jack said,
"Mr. President I'll call you back on a CTU phone so me and Tony can listen"
Jack hung up the phone and Tony looked at him,
"What's going on?"
"I don't know the President said he needed your help and mine"
Jack picked up the phone and dialed the Presidents number,
"Palmer"
"It's Jack, I have Tony, what do you need?"
"Ok , there was a new Secret Service agent and he started today, his name tag said Joe Hoffa, he didn't look American so I looked into his files deeper, things only I can see and I figured out who he was"
"Who is he?"
"It's another Drazen, his name is Victor, oldest son out of the three named after his father"
Jack looked at Tony and said,
"Don't tell anyone anything there could be more than one man working with him, we cant get there by chopper, it will be to much noise and they would notice, to much traffic to go by car, what safe house are you at?"
" The address is Thirty Four Hampton AVE."
Jack looked at Tony and said,
"That's the one right on the water right?"
"Yeah"
"We have a team that stands by on the water I'll have them start to head to the safe house me and Tony will zip line down to the boat from a chopper when I call you I want you to take Drazen out side we will get him from there, I will be calling you soon"
Jack hung up the phone and Tony said,
"Are you nuts, Chappell isn't going to authorize that"
"Chappell isn't here anymore and your director of CTU, your going to authorize it"
Tony was about to pick up the phone when there was a knock on the door, Jack turned around and Milo walked in. Jack was surprised to see him and said,
"Milo what are you doing here?"
"Chappell called me in to replace Michelle"
Jack looked at him and smiled,
"Well it's good to have some on else in here that's been here for a while, most of the people are new"
Tony looked at Milo and said,
"Milo, I need you to cover for me, there is a problem with the President, he asked for me and Jack specifically just sit up here, if Chappell calls tell him I am working on something down on the floor if he asks for me call Jack's cell and patch me through"
Milo rolled his eyes and looked around,
"I haven't even been here for two minutes and you all ready having me breaking protocol"
"Please Milo just do it"
"Fine"
"Tony picked up the phone and called the boat team"
Jack walked down stairs and waited for Tony, he came down and said,
"Choppers on the roof, we should be over the boat in about five minutes"
5:15:00
Drazen was standing in front of the President when he walked in to the kitchen and pulled one of the other Secret Service agents aside and said,
"We should do it now our time is drawing short we should do this now"
"Your right, we need to kill Bauer, for your brothers and your father, I'll go take care of the other men, get the President now"
Drazen walked to the President and pointed his gun at his head,
"Get up now"
The President looked at him and said,
"I knew it, you are a Drazen"
"That's right I am, get up now"
"And you expect to get away with this, Security!"
The other man walked in and said,
"Your security is already dead", he dropped the head of Eric, the secret service agent Palmer cared for the most.
Palmer put his head down and closed his eyes, Drazen took out his cell phone and dialed the number to CTU,
The phone rang and Milo picked it up trying to sound as much like Tony as he could,
"CTU Almeda"
"This is Victor Drazen, I need to speak to Bauer now"
Milo looked confused and said,
"Drazen is dead"
"I am his son, the only surviving one, Bauer killed all my other brothers, let me speak to Bauer now"
"Bauer can't talk right now"
"He can if I have the President at gun point"
Milo closed his eyes and said,
"Hold on a second"
Milo called Jacks cell phone he picked it up and said,
"Bauer"
Milo pushed a button and said,
"Speak"
"Bauer, it's Victor Drazen"
"What do you want?"
"I have Palmer at gun point, I want to exchange you for the President"
"And if I don't want to?"
There was a gun shot and Jack punched the side of the helicopter and said,
"Did you shoot him?, DID YOU SHOOT HIM!"
On the other line the President responded,
"Jack, he shot me in the stomach"
Drazen then said,
"Hurry up Bauer, the clock is ticking, he needs medical attention"
5:19:00
Tony looked down and said,
"The boat is down there we have to go now"
Jack and Tony attached there vests to the zip line and opened the choppers door, Jack jumped first then Tony. In the middle of the air Tony's line began to tangle, it wrapped around his body and stopped with a sudden jerk knocking the wind out of him. Jack landed on the boat and as soon as he landed there was a gun at his head,
"Victor is going to love this, the death of Jack Bauer and the President in the same day"
Jack looked up at the man, he had a black mask on. Jack stood up and when the man was going to tie Jacks hands together he jumped up in the air and kicked him in the stomach. Before the man fell off the boat Jack grabbed him took his gun and shot him in the chest. He then dropped his body in the water and took control of the boat. He turned it around and got under the helicopter, Tony was trying to grab a knife to cut the rope but he couldn't Jack picked up his cell phone and dialed CTU,
"CTU Almeda"
"Milo its Jack patch me through to the chopper pilot"
Milo patched him through to the pilot,
"Almeda is still attached to the chopper, have your co-pilot cut the rope I am under the chopper"
The co-pilot got up and began to cut Tony's rope, he fell on to the boat and Jack hung up the cell phone. Tony got up and walked over to Jack,
"Thanks, where is the team?"
"I think there dead, a man in a black mask was driving the boat, he tried to kill me"
Tony looked around and said,
"How are you going to get in, there is probably going to be a lot of guards"
"I have an idea"
5:21:00
The President was laying on the ground with a towel to his stomach, Drazen looked at his friend and said,
"We need him alive, make sure he lives, at least un till Ron gets here with Jack"
Jack was driving the boat when a cell phone rang, Jack looked to the left and there was a cell phone on the seat he picked it up and said,
"Yea"
"Bauer!?, where is Roy?"
"Dead"
"Bauer this is going to happen my you come we will put Palmer on the boat you are on and my friend will drive him back"
"You think I am going to let your friend drive him back, I have on other agent with me, he will be bringing him back"
"Jack don't push it"
"It's the only way your getting me, you don't comply I will have a team come in"
"Fine"
Jack hung up the phone and said,
"Get ready as soon as we see them on land shoot"
Drazen grabbed the President and said,
"Come on were going out side to wait for Bauer"
The President and Drazen walked out side, Drazen picked up his radio and said,
"Is everyone ready"
"Yes"
Bauer saw the house coming into view, he turned to Tony and said,
"Drazen is most likely out by him self with snipers standing by, we shoot Drazen jump out of the boat and let it crash into the house, get Palmer and get clear of the house, you grab Palmer I will cover you when your in a safe place call me"
Jack took out his hand gun as Drazen and Palmer came in to view,
"Ready, shoot!"
Tony and Jack both shot at Drazen, the President fell to the ground as Drazen let got of him and took cover. Jack and Tony jumped out of the boat and the boat crashed into the house and caught flames, the whole safe house was up in flames. Tony ran over and got the President and ran. Jack began to shoot at the men who where going after them. Jack dove behind a box and watched Tony and the President run into the woods. He jumped back out and shot the three men in front of him. He turned around and saw Drazen chasing Palmer and Tony. Jack picked up his cell phone and began to chase them. He dialed Tony's number and Tony picked up,
"Almeda"
"Tony watch your back Drazen is behind you, I can see him but there is to many bushes for me to get a clear shot"
Jack hung up the phone and kept on running.
Tony and the President were running when the came to a sudden halt and a huge hill leading to a high way, Tony looked at the President and said,
"Are you seriously hurt"
"I don't think he hit any organs"
"We have to roll down this hi…"
There was gun fire, Tony turned around and saw Drazen, Tony grabbed the President and jumped on the hill. Jack saw Tony the President and Drazen just drop down, he kept running and when he got the hill he jumped, he hit the ground and began to roll down. They were all rolling down hitting rocks and braches as the fell, Tony and President got to the bottom, Tony covered the President as Drazen rolled by them, Drazen rolled into the high way and a Mack Truck hit him, dragging him down the road. Jack stopped him self right before the President and Tony and ran towards them and ducked down near the President,
"Mr. President are you ok?"
"I think I broke my leg on the way down"
"How is your stomach?"
"Fine I don't think he hit any organs"
Jack picked up his cell phone and dialed CTU,
"CTU Milo"
"Milo it's Jack get a medical team to our location now"
"Where are you?"
"I'm not sure it's a high way near the safe house, can you trace the call fast?"
"Yes, what is wrong?"
"The President got shot in the stomach, no organs hit though, his leg is broken to, I'll keep my cell on just hurry up"
5:26:04
Prescott turned around as Saunders walked into the room,
"Climes is dead"
"What?!, How?"
"Jack was taking the bomb out and Climes tried to stop him but Bauer killed him"
"Are you still tracking the President?"
"We were up to about two minutes ago, the trace went out, the tracker was destroyed we have men going there now"
Jack looked around while waiting for the medical team he picked up his phone and said,
"Milo, how much longer?"
"About five minutes"
A black SUV went by, as soon as it went by the breaks screeched and it began to back up, Jack picked up the President and ran into a patch of bushes with Tony. To men got out of the SUV and yelled,
"Bauer come out we know your hear with the President"
Jack looked at Tony and said,
"When I shoot both of them we run with the President"
Jack held up his gun and shot the man in the head, the other man turned around and Jack shot him before he could do anything. Jack put the Presidents arm around his shoulder and they ran with the President. They ran un till they found a patch of woods and they ducked down in it. Jack picked up the phone,
"Milo hurry up there on to us"
"I'm hurrying"
Jack took off his jump suit and ripped a piece off of it and wrapped it around the Presidents stomach,
"You will be in a hospital soon"
Jack was holding the phone to his ear when Milo said,
"You should be getting a call from Chappell in a second, he found out"
Tony's phone rang and he picked up it,
"Almeda"
"Tony what the hell are you and Jack doing?"
"The President was taken hostage, he asked for me and Jack."
"I don't care who the hell he asked for your suppose to run things by me first"
Tony's voice began to raise,
"Look Chappell I don't give a damn if your with district I am director of CTU I don't have to run anything by you the only thing you have to do is make sure I am doing my job and I know I sure as hell am"
Chappell paused for a second and said,
"Why didn't you call for a team?"
"We had a team on the water but they were killed so me and Jack were forced to go in alone, the President was shot in the stomach, we think no organs were hit, also his leg is broken Milo is tracking our call now, the man who had him hostage was Victor Drazen, the oldest sun out of the Drazen's Jack took out last year"
"Call me when you get back in"
Tony hung up the phone and looked at Jack,
"Chappell deserved that" he said with a slight smile.
"Milo do you got the trace?"
"Yes the team will be there in three minutes there in the air now"
"Ok"
5:28:03
Saunders picked up the phone and dialed Georges number,
Jack was ducking down with the President when he heard a cell phone ring in the distance. He ran out and looked around, it was coming from the pocket of one of the men he shot, he grabbed it and picked it up,
"Who is this?"
"Bauer!?"
"Who is this?"
"It's Saunders, what happened to my men"
"There dead, your not getting the President, a medical team is coming"
"Ohhh your mistaken Bauer we will find him"
"How?"
"Just trust me we will get him"
Saunders hung up the phone and Jack ran back to the President and Tony,
"Who was it?"
"Saunders"
Jack put pressure on the Presidents stomach and waited for the helicopter, he thought for a second then said,
"Saunders said they would get the President, the chopper that's coming it could have his men on it I will have to fly the plane and take him to the hospital"
"We need to get him out of L.A."
"I know, I'm trying to think how I can do that"
Tony looked at him and said,
"My friend Collin, he is in the air force, I could have him take Palmer, he owes me any way"
"Call him now and tell him to meet us at the hospital"
Over head the noise of a chopper came, Jack looked up and the chopper was lowering down in the middle of the street, Police sirens burst out into the noise and pulled on to the road and set up several road blocks and the chopper landed. Jack walked into the helicopter and said,
"Everyone get out of the helicopter, we can trust no one I am flying the helicopter my self"
They all looked confused and Jack yelled,
"GET OUT NOW!"
Jack ran over to a officer and said,
"I'm flying the helicopter my self, we can't trust anyone based on a phone call I just got"
The officer looked at him and said,
"How do we know we can trust you?"
"Do you think I would have gone through all this trouble?"
The officer looked at him and told everyone in the helicopter to get out. Jack put the President on the stretcher and put him in the helicopter, Jack got into the pilot seat and Tony got in the co-pilot seat and closed the door. Jack lifted the helicopter into the air and took off, he turned to Tony and asked,
"Is your friend coming?"
"He will be at the hospital in ten minutes"
"Great"
5:30:00
Milo was sitting at Tony's desk when the phone rang, he looked down on everyone and saw Bill looking up at him with the phone in his hand, Milo picked up the phone and said,
"Yea?"
"I'm sending some new information to your screen, I have not read it, it is for Jack, Tony and you only"
"Ok send it"
Milo hung up the phone and waited, a red box popped up on the screen and he clicked it, it showed a list of names on a flight and there was a name highlighted, the name was David Gabalid. Milo looked at the name, confused he picked up the phone and dialed district.
"District"
"This is Milo over at CTU I need to speak to Chappell"
"What's you clearance number?"
"E5hf3"
"Ok I'll get him hold on one second"
Milo sat there for a minute then Chappell said,
"What do you need?"
"I don't know what I am looking for"
"The last name is the same last name as Asheed Gabalid"
"The one who blew up the U.S. Government Building a few years back?"
"Yes, he now entered the U.S again, don't tell Jack un till he gets back, he will get side tracked off the President, mean while look into any terrorist groups he works with"
"Ok"
Jack was sitting in the helicopter when the President started to speak,
"Jack if I don't make it I want you to check on my kids for me"
Jack looked at him,
"Mr. President do you feel like your dying?"
"No, no"
"Then your going to make it, be confident"
Jack looked at Tony and said,
"Give him some morphine were almost there"
Right as Tony got up there was a exploding noise in the back of the helicopter and it began to shake. Jack looked at the screen and it said engine failure, Jack looked behind him and said,
"Were going down, how many parachutes is there?"
Tony looked over and yelled,
"Two"
Jack punched the side, he knew someone on the helicopter was working with Saunders, a standard medical copter is suppose to have five parachutes, they took three out leaving two so either Jack or Tony would have to die. Jack looked at Tony and said,
"You and the President get out of here, I will find some where safe to crash the helicopter I still have little control of it"
"No Jack, I will take it you have Kim to go back to, she already lost Terri she can't loose you!"
Jack looked out in front of him and said,
"Tony I am doing it!"
"Jack, your not I am doing it, if you don't got with the President then I am staying here and we will all go down"
"Fine!"
Tony walked over to the seat and Jack got up, he put the parachute on him self and one on the President,
"Mr. President it's probably going to hurt when you land but we are going to make it"
Jack walked over to Tony and said,
"If you can try to find a way out, I feel guilty George risked his life for me and now you are"
"Jack you risk your life for everybody, its about time people start risking there lives for you"
Jack looked at him and said,
"Just try to find a way out"
Jack walked over to the President and helped him to the door, he opened it and the President jumped out, Jack looked at Tony one last time then jumped out also.
5:34:04
Tony was sitting in the helicopter and he began to direct it towards and empty parking lot. He began to sweat and get nervous. There was another explosion in the back and the last engine was gone. The helicopter began to go towards the ground faster and faster. Tony got out of the seat and when he was thirty feet above the ground he jumped out. After falling through the air he finally hit the ground and everything went black.
Jack looked over to his right and saw the plane crash into the ground. He closed his eyes knowing that it was very unlikely that he survived. He looked at the President floating through the air. Finally the President hit the ground and so did Jack. Jack took off his parachute and ran over to the President and took off his.
"Are you ok?"
"Yea"
"The hospital is right there, when we get there a friend of Tony's is going to take you on another helicopter and fly you back to D.C there will be one other person on the helicopter to get you in a cast and get the bullet out, when you get to D.C don't act on Prescott I am calling my friend for the security tape, when I get information I will call you ok?"
The President nodded, Jack helped him up and let the President lean on him, they began to walk to the hospital. They got there and Jack walked up to the front desk,
"We need medical attention for the President right now, some one is coming here in about five minutes, he will be flying the President back to D.C I want your best medical D.R on the helicopter with him, right now just do anything you can for him, also I need to know, what room is Michelle Desseler in?"
"She just got out of surgery, you can't talk to her"
"She has information on a assaination attempt on the President, let me speak to her now"
"She is in room 45 A"
Jack ran over to the elevator and got in it. He pressed the button for 45 A and the elevator began to go up.
5:36:04
Michelle was sitting in the bed dosing on and off when a man walked into her room, he walked up to here and said,
"Where is the recording?"
She didn't answer,
"I will ask you one more time, where is the recording?"
Michelle didn't say anything and he grabbed her throat and began to choke her,
"Tell me where it is now!"
She was trying to scream but he covered her mouth and began to rip the bandages off her stomach. She was kicking him but he just kept on ripping them off. He smacked her and yelled,
"Tell me where the damn recording is now!"
She kicked him in the face and he began to pinch the tube that was supplying her with air,
"Tell me where it is or you will die!"
Jack walked into the room and saw the man holding her and Michelle kicking, Jack pulled out his gun and yelled,
"Put your hand above your head now!!"
The man let go of her and pulled out his gun, he turned around but before he could do anything Jack shot him in the chest and he fell to the ground, Jack walked up to him and was shocked when he saw who it was, it was CTU'S newest field agent Fred Montgomery, Jack knelt down and said,
"Are you working for Saunders?!"
The man nodded,
"Where is he hid…"
Before he could finish the question he died.
"Damn it"
Jack got up and walked over to Michelle,
"Are you ok?"
Michelle nodded and Jack said,
"I need the recording, were going to match it with a security tape and see if it was Prescott on the phone, do you have time on the recording,
She nodded and pointed over to her jacket on a chair, Jack walked over to it and checked the pockets, he grabbed the recording and walked over to her,
"I will have some Police officers come and stand by your door, your going to be ok"
She nodded and Jack walked out of the room, he saw a officer down stairs and said,
"I'm Jack Bauer with CTU there is a body in 45 A also I want two officers to guard that room while she is in here"
"Why is there a body?"
"He was trying to steal important information from her, luckily I go there in time"
The officer got up and ran to the elevator. Jack looked around and saw a man with a pilot uniform walk into the hospital, Jack walked over to him and asked,
"Are you Tony's friend?"
"Yea, where is he"
Jack hesitated for a second then said,
"They needed him back at CTU he told me just to wait here for you"
Jack walked over to the woman at the main desk,
"Did you do anything for the President?"
"They got a cast on him our Doctor will have to take the bullet out when he gets on the helicopter, we took a ex-ray the bullet didn't hit anything, he isn't going to die"
"Ok where is the helicopter?"
"On the roof we have it ready for you"
"Bring the President up there I will be there waiting"
Jack walked over to Tony's friend and said
"Follow me"
Jack found the stairs and they ran up to the roof,
"If anything happens to the President I will hunt you down and kill you, do you under stand?"
The man nodded and they waited. They brought the President up and Jack said,
"Your going to be ok, I call you when I talk to my friend"
Jack ran back down stairs and out of the hospital, he ran over to where the helicopter crashed, there was Police men and Fire men surrounding the area, Jack showed him his badge and they let him through, Jack walked up to one of the men searching through the helicopter and Jack asked,
"Did you find a body?"
"The only way we would have found a body is if he jumped out, there is no body in the area, who ever was in here burnt to a crisp there is nothing left"
Jack fell to the ground and rubbed his face, he sat there for a minute and picked up his cell phone. He dialed Chappell and waited for him to pick up,
"Chappell"
"Ryan its Jack, Tony, he, he is dead"
"WHAT!?, what are you talking about?"
"When we were flying the helicopter over the engine went out, there was only two parachutes, some one who was on helicopter took the other three out. Some one needed to crash the helicopter, I wanted to do it but Tony wouldn't let me"
"Where are you now?"
"This happened right near the hospital next to CTU so about two minutes from CTU"
"Jack go to CTU I will be there in about five minutes don't say anything to anybody un till I get there"
Jack hung up the phone and stood up, he walked away and began to walk towards CTU.
5:40:09
Milo looked around when his phone rang, he picked it up and Chappell was on the other line,
"Milo, did you find anything on Gabalid?"
"Nothing important just old records on him, he is connected to the Muslim terrorist group Second Line Marauders, there the most deadly terrorist group around right now"
"Ok look into that more see if you can find any names that are connected to that group"
"Ok"
Milo hung up the phone and began looking into it more.
Asheed walked into the ware house and looked around., he thought to him self that the ware house he was in would be good enough for what they are trying to do, it was located right in Los Angeles. He sat on the computer and began to type out a document. He then cracked into the CTU head quarters web site and typed up a document linking Ryan Chappell to there terrorist group. Asheed turned to his friend when he asked,
"Why do we need this Chappell man?"
"I'll tell you once Bauer has Chappell under arrest"
Milo was looking at a list of names when the page he was on went white, he called down to Bill and asked,
"Is your computer still up?"
"Yeah why?"
"The page I was looking at turned white and the computer froze, oh wait it's going now never mind"
He hung up the phone and looked at the list of people connected to the terrorist group, the last name at the list was Ryan Chappell,
"What the hell"
He clicked on the name and it brought up Ryan's picture and he clicked on it, it showed transactions between his bank account and the bank account of Asheed Gabalid, Milo picked up his phone and dialed Jack's Cell phone,
"Bauer"
"Jack its Milo I just found something important"
"Hold on a second I am walking into CTU now"
"Ok"
Jack hung up the phone and walked past the security guards and ran up to Tony's office,
"What is it?"
"First of all a terrorist named Asheed Gabalid has entered the U.S"
"When?"
"Today, but the thing I found is the Chappell is connected to the terrorist group"
Jack looked at Milo with wide eyes and said,
"What?"
"It has his name in a list of people connected with Asheed's terrorist group, it also shows transactions made between him and Asheed's bank account"
"I will be waiting in holding room two, tell him I want to see him when he gets here"
Jack began to walk out of the room when Milo asked,
"Where's Tony?"
Jack turned around and looked down,
"He died, our helicopter the engines failed but I think some one who flew the helicopter over sabotaged it, Tony flew the helicopter into a empty parking lot so no one would get hurt and me and the President could escape, don't tell anyone yet, wait un till Chappell is under control"
Jack walked out of the room and down the stairs into holding room two"
5:44:03
Kim and Kate pulled into Kim's aunts drive way and walked to the door and knocked on it, Kim's aunt ran to the door and opened it, she rushed out side and gave Kim a hug,
"Oh my god Kim I haven't seen you since your mothers funeral how are you?"
"I'm good"
"How are you about your mother?"
"Just starting to kind of get over it, dad still blames him self though"
"He shouldn't it wasn't his fault"
"I kind of realized that the other day, I thought it was his fault for the past year"
Kim watched them talk and then Kim's aunt asked,
"Who's this?"
"It's Kate, she helped my dad out the other day with the nuclear bomb threat, my dad is on another assignment I guess he wanted me to come here"
She looked at Kate and smiled, she then sighed and said,
"I feel so bad for your father, he needs a break"
"I know but he will do anything when it comes to his job"
Every one walked into the house and sat down.
Chappell walked into CTU and up to Milo's office,
"Is Jack here yet?"
"Uh, yeah he wants to see you in holding room two"
Chappell turned around and went back down stairs and walked into holding room two and Jack was sitting down,
"Jack, did you check the area for his body?"
"Yes, the flames were to much his whole body burnt into dust"
Jack got up and walked over to Chappell,
"Is there something you want to tell me Ryan?"
Ryan looked at him confused and said,
"What the hell are you talking about?"
Jack punched him in the stomach as hard as he could, when he buckled over Jack grabbed a pair of handcuffs and put one around Chappell's wrist and one around the arm of the chair and pushed Chappell into the chair, he took out another set and cuffed his ankle and the other side to the table leg.
"Jack are you crazy?"
"I will be back in a moment"
Jack walked out of the room and up to Milo's office.
Asheed watched through the monitors of CTU'S security cameras that he had set up two days before, his friend looked at him and said,
"Do we make the call yet?"
"No there are going to ask him some questions first we will call in about ten minutes"
Asheed turned around to the figure in the corner,
"Soon you will be free, Bauer and Chappell will be dead, but you my friend will be free"
5:47:04
Jack and Milo walked into holding room two and sat down on the other side of the table,
"What the hell are you doing Jack, when Randall hears about this you will be out of the Government business for ever"
Jack looked up at him with angry eyes and yelled,
"WHEN RANDALL FINDS OUT WHAT YOUR CONNECTED TO YOU WILL BE OUT OF THE GOVERNMENT BUSINESS AND IN JAIL FOR LIFE!!"
Chappell began to raise his voice and yelled,
"What are you talking about?!!"
Jack looked down at the lap top and picked it up, he walked over to Chappell with it and said,
"We know your working with Asheed, we have all the information we need right here"
Chappell looked over it a couple of times and said,
"It's lies all lies"
Jack took the mouse and clicked the link to the bank info and said,
"Then how come money was placed into his bank account from yours six months ago?"
"I don't have anything to do with them"
"Come on Chappell you cant deny it, you knew this was going to happen all along, trying to get me and Tony out of CTU that didn't work so you had a back up plane up your sleeve for a long time, how long did it take you to plan this out pretty clever I must say, did you know about the assaination attempt against Palmer to?"
Ryan looked up at Jack and tried staying calm but he couldn't,
"I don't know where you got this information from but it is bogus"
Jack just looked at him and said,
"We will have to see if Randall thinks this is bogus"
Jack picked up his cell phone and dialed Randall the director of districts number,
"District Randall"
"Randall, it's Jack"
"Bauer?, been breaking protocol lately"
"Actually no, its Chappell who is, he is connected with the terrorist group that Asheed is with"
"What information do you have on this?"
"Milo pulled some information up off a computer, there was some transactions made between Chappell's bank account and Asheed's about six months ago"
"Send the information to my computer, the number to send it to is Q987FRandall"
Jack typed in the code number then sent over the information that Milo had, there was silence for a second then Randall said,
"I will be there in about fifteen minutes I'm working on something different, do you have him in custody?"
"Yes"
Jack hung up the phone and looked at Chappell,
"Randall believes it"
5:50:00
Asheed sat there looking at the screen and listening to the conversation Bauer was having. When the conversation was over he looked at his friend and said,
"Give me the phone"
His friend walked over with the phone and he picked it up, he dialed Jack's cell phone number and Jack picked up,
"Bauer"
"Jack Bauer, I want to make a trade with you?"
"Who is this??"
"My name is Asheed"
Jack looked at Chappell and said,
"What ties dose Ryan Chappell have with your group?"
"That is who I want to trade, he is important to us"
Jack looked at Chappell and punched him in the face, he looked away and said,
"Who do you have?"
"A agent of yours"
Asheed looked over and said,
"You, what's your name?"
On the other end of the receiver Jack heard,
"Tony Almeda, I work with CTU if you don't let me go you will be killed!"
"TONY!", Jack yelled,
"Ah I see he is important to you"
"I will make the trade, where do we meet?"
"I will not be there it is to risky, my friend will make the trade at 54 Parson AVE. it's a abandon ware house, be there in ten minutes"
Jack hung up the phone and looked at Chappell,
"Tony is still alive and your important to them, were making a trade, or so they think"
Jack's cell phone rang again he picked it up,
"Yea"
"Oh yea and Jack, don't bring anyone but Chappell I have CTU'S cameras wired"
Jack hung up the cell phone and Chappell said,
"Do you think you can get him out of there alone you will be killed"
"I'm not pulling anything off, I am giving you to them and putting a tracker on you, I will have a team get you back so we can question you, Milo go get me a tracker"
Milo walked out of the room and Jack sat there waiting for Milo.
The four men in the black SUV were sitting across the street of Kim's aunts house, one of them picked up the phone and dialed a number,
"Asheed"
"Asheed, were in place do we get her now"
"No, you wait, if Mohammad doesn't kill Jack, I will call you then you take the girl"
He hung up the phone and Muhammad turned to him and said,
"Why do we need Chappell?"
"We have Mr. Almeda, Jack wants him back, he thinks Chappell is working with us so he will make the trade, Saunders wants Bauer, I want Chappell, Chappell is the one who put my brother into prison two years ago, once there dead, we move to our main objective"
Jack un cuffed Chappell's leg, he took the cuff that was attached to his hand and cuffed it to his other wrist. Milo walked in with the tracker and Jack put it in Chappell's pocket. Jack put a gun to Chappell's back and stayed close behind him, they both walked out of the room and walked out of CTU, right when they walked out Jack saw Randall walking down to the entrance. Jack covered Chappell's mouth and ducked behind a car. Randall walked into the building and Jack ran to Milo's car and got in it. Jack backed out and began to drive,
"If you say anything to this security guard I will drive right by him and shoot you, and don't try taking the tracker off"
"Why?"
Jack took a pill and shoved it in Chappell's mouth and forces him to swallow it,
"That's why"
The pulled up to the gate and the guard nodded and let them through. Right as they pulled through Jack's cell rang,
"Bauer"
"Jack its Randall where are you?"
"Asheed wants to trade, Chappell for Tony, I am making the trade then when I get Tony out I have a tracker in Chappell we will get him back"
"Jack get back here now"
"Sir, I am doing this if I screw up fire me"
"Jack.."
"Randall please it's our only chance to get Tony"
"Fine but if you screw up I will fire you"
"I understand"
Jack hung up the phone and began to drive.
