The following events occur between the ours of 10:00 a.m. to 11: 00 a.m.

10:00 a.m.

Nina a Jack drove in silence. Jacks breath came in cold, and left his body hot this was his form of a panic attack. This always happened when he was nervous, and he was real nervous. He never wanted to go back to the house. He has tried for years now to avoid it and was successful until today. He drove the route and did not even know he was driving it. His mind knew the route and didn't need to function to get him there. It was like this invisible force had grabbed a hold of them and it was pulling them there. When he pulled into his old driveway his blood ran cold. The last time had had pulled into the drive way he sat in his car and cried for a half hour before he went inside, the night Teri died.

When he got to the garage Nina told him to sit there. She knew in his state even if Jack tried to run he wouldn't make it far. She took the keys out of the ignition and got out of the car and opened the garage, by using a key that hid on the top of the trim of the door. She opened the garage door and walked back to the SUV. She put the keys in the ignition and Jack drove inside, put the car in park, and turned it off. Nina got out and opened the back grabbing a suitcase that contained the standard things needed in the field like plastic cuffs and other useful things.

10:15

Kim and Chase were a block behind them, and when she saw them pull into the driveway her face flushed red in anger. She did not want Nina Myers intruding on the one place where she felt closes to her mother. Chase parked the SUV and said, "What now? Your not planning on going in there are you?"

"Yes I am."

"Damn it Kim. She'll kill you and possibly your father. You can't just walk in there. We can call CTU and they'll send people to help out."

"No we can't. You and I both know there was a reason Tony didn't have those two in the interrogation rooms because he thinks there's a mole at CTU and if there is and we broadcast that they are here the bad guys will know where my father is and the can finish what they began earlier." Kim said in an even tone.

10:20

Jack and Nina took the back door into the house. When Jack first walked in his body tensed, and Nina could see the fear in his body language. She did not care though. She had to get free, and right now this was the last place anyone would expect them to be. Nina and Jack walked into the living room that was covered in dust. "Sit down." Nina said pointing towards the couch.

Jack looked like a deer caught in the headlights. He was terrified. It took all of his control to keep his body from trembling. Everything came rushing back into his mind, the memory of him holding his dead wife in his arms, the time she told him she was pregnant with the child that died with her, and their honeymoon and wedding. Everything he blocked out came back to him. He would not let Nina see him cry or break down, but that's what his body wanted so bad and he fought.

Nina went to the phone and picked it up. Nothing was on the line. She cursed silently to herself. "Jack do you have your cell-phone on you?"

"No your guy took it before I got on the plane and Tony didn't get it back to me before we left."

"Shit. Stand up." Nina said pointing the gun at Jack. She opened the brief case and got out a plastic cuff. She used it to secure Jacks hands behind his back and had him sit back down. "Do you need to take your pills the doctor gave you?"

"No." Jack said with a new hint of anger in his voice. Being back in the house allowed him to regain all the anger he had towards Nina. No matter what she did she would never make up for killing his wife.

Nina walked out of the living room and went to look around the rest of the house. She had never actually been in Jack's house. When they were together he was living in a hotel because of the separation.

As Nina was checking out the rest of the house Chase and Kim were sneaking around the back to enter the house. Quietly Chase opened the door with his gun drawn and walked into the house. He looked around for a moment and than motioned for Kim to join him. As they walked through the kitchen to the dining room Chase caught a glimpse of Jack sitting on the couch. He didn't want to get Jack until he knew where Nina was. She was a very dangerous person and he knew his limits. When he went to walk down the hallway he saw Nina walking out of what he figured was the bathroom from Kim's description of the place. He ducked back into the dining room and than into the kitchen where he hoped she wouldn't enter. He motioned for Kim to be quite. He sat in the kitchen until he heard Nina call out.

"Common Chase and Kim. Come out now or I'll shoot Jack. I know you're here."

Kim jumped when she heard Nina. She hadn't expected Nina to know they were there. Chase wondered how Nina knew they were there. He was sure she didn't see him when she came out of the bathroom. They both stood quietly hoping that Nina would figure she was paranoid.

Nina grabbed Jack off the couch and used him as a shield as she walked through the dining room towards the kitchen. When Chase saw her coming he raised his gun and pointed it at the two.

"Chase put the gun down." Jack yelled at him. "You're not going to put Kim in this situation. Nina is not going to do anything as long as we don't fuck with her."

Nina was surprised when Jack yelled at his partner to put the gun down and than tried to reassure him that nothing was going to happen. "That's right Chase. All I want is to leave. I don't want to hurt anyone." Nina said to confirm what Jack had already said.

Knowing that there was no way he could shoot Nina without hitting Jack or her getting a shot off and killing Jack; Chase lowered his gun. He set in on the counter and pushed it down towards Nina.

"Good. Lets all go sit in the living room."

Once in the living room Jack, Kim, and Chase sat on the couch. Nina took another set of plastic cuffs and secured Chase's hand behind his back. She could tell that Kim was seething with anger because Jack had stood up for Nina again.

Tears were pulling in Kim's eyes. This house reminded her of her mother and she was pissed that it seemed to have no effect on her father, and the fact that he brought the woman who killed his wife to their house.

Jack looked at his daughter and he wanted to comfort her. He figured being in the house was all that was effecting her so he said, "its ok Kim. Are you going to be Ok?"

And her response was the last thing he ever figured would come out of her mouth, "No dad I'm not. I can't believe you brought the person who killed mom here. I can't believe that you even stood up for her. Sometimes I think you wanted mom to die. Maybe you two were in it together because every time you get around one another neither of you kills each other. I bet you still have a relationship going on. I'm so tired of it. You act like mom dying is nothing until you are on your own. When mom died I became an orphan because you were never there. You couldn't even be there for me when my mother died. You were never there. Sometimes I think you take all of those assignments so you can get away from me. You don't love me or care about me. You never have. I don't know why I've wasted so much time on you. You are worthless. First you took yourself from me and than you took my mother away from me. You once tried to take Chase from me. All you do is take the tings I love. I don't have a father anymore." She began to sob and her words became indecipherable.

What Kim said hurt Jack so bad that he wished he was dead at that moment. All he could muster to say was, "I'm sorry." With that Kim turned towards him and looked him in the eyes. His eyes had turned cold over the years and she saw that same cold stare in them and that pissed her off. She began to smack at her father. Nina walked over and pointed the gun at her and yelled, "Stop it now. Damn it. This is not Jerry Springer."

Jacks lip was bleeding from Kim hitting him. He just sat there and did not move. Nina pointed at him and said, "Come with me." She walked him into the bathroom and had him sit down on the closed toilet seat. She checked to make sure there was nothing he could use to get out of the cuffs so she told him, "Stay here." She walked out of the bathroom and took a chair and propped it against the door knob so that he couldn't open the door. She walked back into the living room and she looked at Kim who had her face buried in Chases arm. When Nina walked in Kim glared at her through her teary eyes.

Chase began to whisper to her, "Kim are you ok?"

"I'm fine now." She said still glaring at Nina.

"Chase let me have your cell phone so I can get out of here." Nina ordered.

"It's in my coat pocket."

"Kim get it out."

Kim reached into Chases coat pocket and pulled out his cell phone and Nina took it from her hand. Nina dialed the number to her contact and than began to speak German to the person. The only thing Chase understood was that Nina needs a plane out of here to Canada and than on to some unknown country. Treadstone interfered with her mission and she needed to escape before he or Jack got a hold of her. She hung up the phone and said, "I'll be out of here in fifteen minutes. Until than were going to sit here quietly and enjoy the peace."

10:40

Tony tried calling every number he could think of to get a hold of Chase and Kim. Chases cell phone was off and there was no way of finding them. He knew Nina had Jack and he figured Chase went with Kim after those two. He was worried though because Treadstone was still out there and Nina was a dangerous person that neither Chase nor Kim were equipped to handle. Even Jack had a hard time with Nina. He had other things to focus on, therefore he had to move on and hope for the best. He had a mole he had to find and a possible terror threat later to start on.

10:45

The men were all in the tunnel that led to the White house. This was an unknown point of entry to most people. It was built by one of the American presidents so that he could leave in the middle of the night for secret rendezvous. This was how the team was going to get to the white house and take the president.

Meanwhile Wayne Palmer was getting ready to escort Treadstone into the White house to meet his brother the president. He would introduce Treadstone as General Ian Razen an old cold war hero. He hoped the vice president was there, he had told Treadstone he had not known because he'd been over at CTU where Nina had just broke herself out of and has taken Jack prisoner in the process. Treadstone had people out looking for the two, but he did not think he would find them at a hotel and anything else would be pure luck at finding them.

Treadstone phone rang, he excused himself from the conversation he was having with Wayne, for a moment and answered it. "Hello." He answered the phone with.

"I know where Jack and Nina are. If you promise not to kill Bauer or his family I'll tell you."

"Who is this?"

"Someone who doesn't want Bauer dead yet. He still has something I want."

"I don't know if I can promise that he knows too much."

"He will die. But by my hands."

"I could handle that."

"Fine. They're at Bauer's old house Nina will be leaving any moment."

"How did you come to this information?"

"I've been following Bauer since last week some time."

"Might I ask what your problem is with him?"

"He killed my son and a few of my friends."

"Will you be there when my friends get there?"

"Yes. I want you to turn Bauer over to me."

"Deal. Give me a half an hour. I have some other business to attend to."

"Nina will be gone by than."

"I'll send someone over to handle it than."

"Fine."

10:50

Nina took Kim back to the bathroom in which she had Jack in. She removed the chair from the door and had Kim join her father inside who looked like he might have shed a few tears. She put the chair back like it was and left the house. Her ride was outside and she was on her way to freedom. She didn't want to put Kim in the bathroom with her father, but Nina didn't have any more plastic cuffs so she had to make due.

In the bathroom Kim could see the pain in her fathers' eyes. She had never seen him like this besides the night her mother died. She was still pissed at him, but she saw a new raw side of him she had never seen before. He tried to hide the pain, but it was worthless he had so much that was now trying to come out.

After he heard the car pull off Chase stood up and walked to the bathroom. He struggled to pull the chair away from the door with his hands behind his back. When he freed it he yelled, "Come out guys she's gone."

Kim opened the door and hugged Chase. She walked into the kitchen and grabbed a knife. She cut Chases hands free and than had him do so to her father. She would not talk to her father, and her father would not speak. Chase could feel the tension and decided it'd be best if he were quite. Chase grabbed his cell phone of the table and called Tony.

"She gone. We're all ok. I'm going to take Kim home, and than Jack. Do you need me to come in?" Chase said to Tony as soon as he picked up the phone.

"No. Take care of those two. If something happens I'll call."

"Let's go guys" Chase said as he hung up the phone.

"I'm going to walk." Jack said as he walked towards the door.

"But it's like a mile to your apartment." Chase said, "And you're hurt."

"I'll be fine. Don't worry I'm a big boy." Jack said as he walked out the front door and down the sidewalk, as he had so many times before. He knew he wasn't going home, but he didn't want them to know he was going to the bar.
