The following occurs between the hours of 5:00 and 6:00 p.m.
5:00
The President sat in the room with everyone. They all looked at Jack hoping he would wake up. If he woke up everything had to be fine they told themselves. Tony felt guilty. If he had not screwed up Chase would not have had to double back and get him, and Jack wouldn't have had to protect the President by himself. Everyone had a reason to fell guilty and no one spoke about their guilt. They all sat praying for Jack to survive.
Tony's cell phone rang and everyone jumped at it.
"Hello" Tony said quietly as if he would wake Jack if he spoke louder.
"Tony Michelle, How is Jack?"
"He's out of surgery. They said if he survives tonight he'll live. We're all in his room now waiting for him to wake up."
"How's Kim?"
"I think fine. I'm not sure."
Kim knew they were talking about her. She didn't acknowledge it though. She sat by her sleeping father and held his hand. She would kiss it every now and than, but mostly she stared at him waiting for movement anything. She was afraid to loose him. All she had was Chase and him. Chase's parents were good people, but they did not seem to like Kim or her father. Even though they had never meant Jack they had heard about some of his past and they didn't like it. They were not happy with Chase's choice of a career they were like hippies and didn't believe in taking another human life. They knew what Chase did and ignored it.
Tony looked at Kim and said, "Chase is on his way to Treadstone. He had a team of twelve others. They should have Treadstone in their possession within the hour."
"Tell him to be safe."
"You know he will be. How are you?"
"I'm fine."
Nina stood up and said, "I'm hungry. Does anyone want me to bring them back something to eat? I'm going to run to the cafeteria and get some food and something to drink."
"I'm not hungry." Kim said.
"You really should eat." Nina said trying to be nice and caring, something new for her.
"Don't try to tell me what you think I should do. I wouldn't be here if it weren't for you." Kim snapped.
Tony jumped in and said, "Can you get us all some coffee."
"Sure. I'll order a pizza too. Pepperoni ok with everyone."
"Yeah. I don't remember the last time I had a Pizza." The president said.
"I'll order a couple than." Nina said trying to make light of a bad situation.
Kate got up and said, "I'll go with you. You'll need some help. Tony call me if Jack even moves."
"Will do. Thanks you guys." Tony said.
Kate and Nina walked out of the room. Kate called the local Papa John's and ordered three pizza's. She knew it was over kill, but she wanted to make sure everyone had enough food and she had to feel like she was doing something. She gave them her credit card number and said a secret service guy would pick it up. One of the men left to watch the food being cooked and all. Kate and Nina walked to the cafeteria and picked up five coffees. When they returned to the room Ryan Chappelle was inside. Nina froze for a moment. She was still not use to being around all of these people who she had betrayed.
Kate walked over to Kim and hugged her. She gave her a coffee and handed her a coffee and two crèmes and three sugars. "Thanks Kate."
5:30
Treadstone was starting to worry a little as his plan had been delayed for almost forty-five minutes. He didn't want to leave the plane though. He could not escape any other way. He had drunk half of his whiskey now and was well past being drunk. He needed to stop, but everything made him continue. He had never failed until now. He had plan C in place, but it was hard to get to Bauer. They had secret service agents outside his door, and his friends and family inside. Getting someone in would be impossible.
As that thought occurred to him, the door to his plane busted open and guys dressed in black came rushing in. He went to move, but one of them shot him in the leg and he fell to the ground holding his leg.
"Please move. Just give me a reason to shoot you." One of them said with his gun pointed at Treadstones head.
Chase wanted to pull the trigger, but something in him would not allow it. One of the other teamed handcuffed Treadstone. The pilot came out of the cockpit firing. Chase and the others dove for cover behind some chairs. Chase cursed himself for not clearing the cockpit. He was so worried about Treadstone that it never occurred to him. Chase fired around the chair as two more men joined the pilot in the gun fight. They kept trading fire. One of the men on Chase's team was hit in the chest. He fell to the ground and yelped in pain. Two more men went down. Chase took yelled, "We need back up. There is like an army coming from somewhere." He yelled as more men joined in the gun fight. Chase did not know where they were coming from. They perimeter was suppose to be covered by the police.
Two of the Treadstones men went down. Chase grabbed Treadstone and yelled, "Stop it or he's dead."
The men hesitated for a second and they shot Treadstone in the hip sending Treadstone and Chase to the floor. Chase fired three shots hitting two more of the terrorist. He was running out of ammo fast and only three people were left on his team.
Someone yelled, "Chase do you have a clip? I'm out."
Chase tossed the clip to the man, and said, "It's my last make it last."
5:40
The pizza arrived and everyone dug into it. Hunger came over all of them. A doctor came in and checked up on the President, Tony, and Jack.
The doctor said, "This has become a party in here. You all can stay in here only for another twenty minutes than I want only two people in here." Everyone agreed to leave in twenty minutes and the doctor walked out.
Chappelle left saying he had to get back to the office. Shortly after that Kim fell asleep holding her fathers hand. The others quietly debated a schedule to spend in here with Kim. They all decided Kim deserved to stay in here, and they would rotate after that. When Jack woke up they would argue to get to come in and see him all together.
Nina walked out to the nurse's station and asked, "Is there any way we can get another blanket for his daughter. She fell asleep and I would like to cover her."
The nurse said, "No problem. Wait here I'll go grab one."
When Nina walked back into the room and covered Kim everyone was in shock. They all say Nina as a cold hearted person, but this was a new side to her. Tony would stay in the room with Kim first, than Kate, the President, and Nina. They all exited the room besides Tony and Kim. Tony sat in his chair and watched Jack's chest rise and fall. It was weird to look at Jack with oxygen tubes in his nose. It was weird to see Jack asleep. This was the first time he ever saw Jack truly at peace. Even before his wives death Jack was high strung.
Tony limped over to Jack and said quietly, "Don't you die on us. Kim needs you and we need you Jack. You fight damn it."
Jack was dreaming of his childhood again. His father died when he was twenty. Jack was never close to his father. He hated him that is why Jack joined the Army was to get away from his father. Before his father died he had asked Jack to visit him. Jack refused to until his older sister came to the base Jack was stationed at and begged him to visit their dying father. Jack and she got into a fight. Jack wanted nothing to do with the man that beat his mother, and later in life him. He told him. I left to get away from him, and now I'm happy where I'm at, why should I go and visit him again. What gives him the right to ask me?"
She replied, "Jack he's dying. No matter what he did in his life, he was still our father. He is half the man he use to be. All the horrible things he did would haunt him in the afterlife, but don't let them haunt him now. You made your point when you left and never called back. Please do it for me and mom. We both want to see you again."
Jack walked away from her. He had no intention of going to see the man that made his life hell for so many years. But when he looked in the window of a building he saw his sister crying. He turned around and walked to her and hugged her. "I'll do it. Just stop crying. I'm sorry I left."
Jack followed her back to their father. When Jack walked into the room he was still in his uniform. He caught a flight to his home town, and to fly on a department of defense airplane you had to be in uniform. When he walked into the room in his well decorated uniform his mom began to cry. She had not seen him in so many years. She hugged him and said, "I'm so happy to see you. I love you Jack. You look so good in your uniform."
His father sat up and looked at him. His father's eyes were red and blood shot. His father was skinner than what Jack remembered. His father said in a soft voice, "Thank you son. I'm sorry. I'm so proud of you."
Jack looked at him and all the hate he felt for the man was there, but knowing this was his father dying Jack did not show it he said to try to console the dying man, "Its ok dad." He did this as a soldier would do to a dying friend on the battle field. Knowing the person was going to die one would tell the person anything they wanted to hear to make their death better. Jacks father died that night. Jack stayed a week and helped make the arrangements and console his mother and sister. Jack even helped fix up some of the rooms in the house were holes had been in the walls from his father's anger. When Jack left he promised to write, but he never did. His mother died a year before Teri died and Jack visited her in the hospital and stayed with her for the month it took her to die from cancer. Jack's sister had not talked to him since Teri's death. She showed up to the funeral with her husband Marshall and their daughter Susan. Neither spoke to one another. She was still mad at Jack abandoning them.
5:50
Nina remembered that Jack had a sister, she communicated this to Kate who called Michelle to see if they had anything on record about it.
"Hi Michelle it is Kate. Nina just informed me that Jack has a sister. Is there any way you might be able to contact her?"
"Let me look at Jack's personal file. We might be able to find a number for her. I'll call you if I find one."
"Thanks Michelle."
"How is Jack?"
"He still breathing."
"How are you?"
"I'm still breathing. I'm worried about him."
"Have you two gotten back together?"
"No not yet. We are talking about it. Hopefully he'll pull through and when he does he'll need me to help him recover and maybe more."
"You and him are great together and I hope for the best for both of you."
"How is Kim?"
"She fell asleep. She's in the room with him now so is Tony."
"Good. I got to go. We sort of have a situation here. But don't worry we got it under control and Chase is fine."
"Good Kim has gone through enough today."
