The following takes place between 2:00 a.m.-3:00 a.m.

2:00 a.m.

Nina's cell phone rings. She had one of those downloaded ringers, she didn't download it but the person she barrowed it from had and the song was "Secret Agent Man" Every time the phone rang it go stuck in her head. "Myers speaking".

"Nina what in the hell are you doing?" A man with a deep voice screams over the phone.

"Some work for myself why?"

"Cuz Treadstone knows. And they are pissed. They want to talk to you. Treadstone himself wants to talk to you."

"The guys name is not Treadstone. What does he want?"

"He knows your meeting with Bauer and have offered up Treadstone."

"Does he know I'm doing it to get to Bauer?"

"No he thinks your going to narc them out. He doesn't want Bauer dead. I'm not sure why. He gave a bunch of bull-crap excuses. Whatever you got plan you better let him know because he has the entire group together and no one is real happy with you."

"Fine I'll call him. Bye." Nina said as she hung up the phone. As soon as the call disconnected she dialed the person who no one knew what his real name was, but people nicknamed him Treadstone after the organization he created.

The phone rang three times before someone picked it up. "It's Nina let me speak to Treadstone."

After a moment a man with a low voice got on the phone. "Hello Nina. What are you trying to do? Please have a good excuse because I've heard your selling information about us to Jack Bauer."

"No sir. That's just my cover. It is the only way I can get close to Bauer. I owe that man a lot of pain, sir."

"I think you inflected enough when you killed his wife. He has never overcome that has he?"

"Yes sir he hasn't."

"I want you to take him into custody. Bring him to the safe house in Mexico and keep him there until I arrive in a hour. I'm on my way now."

"Sir I would not advice in capturing Jack. He will not tell you anything, and he is very hard to keep under control let alone custody. Last time not only did he resist torture to the point he flat lined, but he came back to kill his captures all in the same two hour span."

"I know that Nina, but I have something they did not have?"

"What's that sir?"

"You. You and Bauer have something no one can get. He once had feelings for you and now you are his worse enemy. He would do anything to piss you off, or to hurt you. You are his Achilles heel."

"I'm not following you sir."

"If we push him hard enough and than promise him a chance at you he will break. And if not we'll get his daughter involved in it. That has proven to work good at times."

"Yes sir. I have to get off the phone now Jack should arrive any moment."

"Remember I do not want him hurt. At least not to bad."

"Not to bad sir. Bye."

They disconnected from each other and Nina thought about all Treadstone had said. In some ways she looked forward to the event of having Jack again, and she also dreaded it because it never works out. Jack seems to be unstoppable.

2:10

Michelle reported to Tony, "The man we were tracking dropped the stuff in a locker at LAX. We have a forensic team there, but there isn't much they can do. There are too many finger prints on the locker and Jacks stuff is clean. Were trying to get the surveillance tapes, but we figure the guy already has taken off to some other country."

"Damn it. Is there any other way you can think we can find Jack?"

"He got on a plane at the small airport. Maybe if we contact the FAA and air flight controller's maybe the pilot filed a flight plan and he would have had to call in for the landing."

"Good idea. Get on it. I have to go brief Chappell on the incident and the President. Can you handle things while I'm gone?"

"Yeah no problem."

Tony and Michelle both walked out of Tony's office. Kim was paying attention to them and they seemed to be acting weird like another major incident was occurring. In her heart she knew her father was in trouble again and they where hiding it from her. She walked up to Michelle and asked, "My father isn't really with the president. He wouldn't have had to leave so quickly. What's really going on Michelle?"

"Kim your father is fine. He took off early to pack and than he was going to get briefed by Erin the presidents head secret service agent, as to what they needed him to do. He is than is flying out early and check out things before the president landed."

"Michelle you don't have to lie to me. I'm a big girl I can handle whatever is happening. I think I proved that last year with the Salazar incident. Please tell me what is happening with my father."

"Just what I said now get back to work."

2:20

The pilot yelled over the engines to Jack, "Where getting ready to land. It's going to be bumpy because there is no real runway. You might want to fasten your seat belt tighter."

Doing what the pilot said Jack pulled on his seat belt and prepared for a hard landing. As the plane touched the ground everything bounced up and down. If felt like they were soda in a bottle someone was shaking up and at any moment they would fizzle out of the plane.

When the plane came to a complete stop four men converged on the plane with M-16's pointed at the two occupants.

Jack put his hands up and said, "Ok everyone calm down I'm not armed."

One of the men opened the door to the co-pilot seat Jack was in and ordered, "Get out slowly."

Jack unbuckled his belt and did so slowly so that the man with the gun would see that he was not reaching for anything. He than climbed down the plane and stood on the ground with his hands over his head.

A moment later Nina appeared from the darkness. "Hi Jack. I hope your flight was enjoyable."

Jack looked at her and said, "Yeah anything would be better than the last two times I was on a plane. Either time I was knocked out or the plane crashed. I'm here now can we get this over with so I can return back to my life and away from you."

"Sorry Jack. I don't think you'll be back home as quick as you think. My boss would like to have some words with you. And maybe more than that. So why don't you turn around and let this guy restrain you so you don't get lucky again like last time."

Jack was scared. He didn't show it, but he knew that if he did not do something he would end up dead. Nina knew that to live life without looking over her shoulder she would have to kill Jack, and she had the perfect moment to do it. He was unarmed and the possibility of back up was slim. Jack turned around and faced the plane. He figured if he was going to die he mind as well go down fighting.

When the man got ready to cuff him Jack threw his head back as hard as he could catching the guy in the face and stunning him enough to be able to turn with a sweep kick knocking the man to the ground. Jack went to fight the next guy when a sharp pain shoots through his back. The pain vibrated through his body as he fell towards the ground with a quite scream of pain. When he hit the ground he fought to stay conscious and was doing a good job until the guy he head-butted took the butt of his M-16 and smashed it into Jacks head, and that was when everything went black.

"Get him in the van and make sure he his handcuffed and chained. Do not underestimate this man. He has gotten out of worse situations. I want you to stay alert." Nina ordered.

The man that originally tried to cuff Jack roughly grabbed Jacks arms and cuffed them together. He pushed the cuffs to a point in which they would close no further. He picked Jack up and walked over to the open back of the black van and threw Jack inside of it.

Hitting the floor of the van Jack slid to the back. The man climbed aboard and took a chain with cuffs on the end of it and secured Jacks ankles to a bench post in the van. For the pure joy of it the man punched Jack twice in the side.

Another man climbed aboard and closed the doors and the van sped off into the early mourning streets of Mexico.

2:50
Division was like CTU only bigger and with more security. Tony walked into the conference room where Chappell sat and a speaker phone sat.

Chappell said to Tony, "Thanks for getting here quickly. Were on with the president and some of his top advisors."

"Hello Mr. President. Jack Bauer is completely out of contact. The man that took his stuff dropped it off at a locker at LAX and we were unable to catch him. My people are reviewing the security tapes from LAX and we are looking to all of our sources to find Jack. We are also running down the lead as to the plane that took Jack away. We are hoping the pilot filed flight plans with the FAA and called in to the local air traffic control for permission to land. If we can find were the plane went we should be able to trace Jacks whereabouts. We are not sure if Nina is working on her own or if she is working with Treadstone."

"That's all we have?" Chappell asked.

"At this moment. When you called we were in the middle of trying to find where to go next. We are working with limited resources because of the president's order not to allow Kim or Chase to find out about Jack meeting with Nina."

"This is true Mr. Chappell. Tony do you need more people to do this?" The president asked.

"Yes sir. But I really want to keep my word to Jack about Kim. And if I tell her and Chase to leave they will get suspicious because they know we're on high alert because of the possible attack, Sir."

"Do we have any other choices Tony?"

"Not that I can think of Mr. President."

"Than do what you have to do. Jack will understand."

"Yes Sir. Will that be all?"

"Yes. I know you have more important things to do than brief me every hour so I'm going to send over my chief of staff. He'll need a room to work out of and you can brief him to all of the new developments and he will report to me. As you know Jack is a good friend to me and means a lot, that is why my chief of staff will make sure you get all the resources you need. If we find Jack we might be able to stop this attack. Thank you."

The phone line went dead.
