The following occurs between the hours of 10:00 and 11:00 p.m.

10:00

Jack sat in the room with the black cloak over his head. He could feel the warm blood run down his back. The wounds on his shoulder and been ripped open when he carried Nina out and away from the car. The warm blood warmed his cold body. He was sweating which was making the cold chill he felt even worse. He hoped that something would happen soon. He was tired of sitting around waiting for someone to come and do something. He had been caught too many times today and the day was wearing on him. It was time to either kill him or leave him alone. He was tried, hurt, and starved.

He heard the door open and someone walk into the room. "Hello Jack. Is it ok if I call you Jack?"

"Do whatever pleases you." Jack said back in his scratchy voice.

"Of course Jack."

"Where is Nina?"

"She's around. Don't worry about her. She is fine. It's you I'm worried about. See Jack I have learned to like you. You are that little puppy that you smack in the nose and it comes back begging for more. I have despised you for awhile, but you have grown on me today. Let's see you've been tortured, shot, stabbed, and kidnapped multiple times and still here you are. Fighting to help the woman that killed your wife, and has tried to kill you countless times. I don't understand you? How can you help the woman that killed your wife?" The man said.

"I don't know. But I'm sure if you ask Freud he'll say it's something from my childhood." Jack said, showing that he was tired and didn't want to do this, either kill him or let him go was the message he was trying to give.

"Freud that is interesting. I don't know Jack. I think maybe you were happy when Nina killed your wife. One less person you had to lie to."

"What? Do you think I was happy? Sure I spent the last few years fighting not to go under so that I could pretend my wives death didn't bother me."

"You had countless chances of killing Nina and you haven't. You actually have saved her once. That is quite opposite to the feeling you claim to have. You current girlfriend, umm... Kate. I think that's her name. She know about the real you Jack?"

"What do you mean the real me?" Jack asked.

"You Jack Bauer. Not the CTU agent, the real Jack Bauer?"

"You must be on drugs because I have no idea what you are talking about."

10:15

Nina sat on the floor listening to Keller talk to Jack. Some of the things that Dante had revealed made since, but at the same time it didn't. She knew Dante and Prescott were dirty. They never wanted Palmer in office at least not for long. Things just never worked out, but to believe Jack was a spy was too unbelievable. Yet at the same time a part of her started to doubt that Jack wasn't.

Dante asked, "Is that enough to get you to believe?"

"No he's still denying it."

"Of course he is. Do you think he is just going to say, 'Oh you caught me? Guess I'll give myself up?' No he's not he'll fight it till the end." Dante said. "Nina what was your excuse for doing what you did?"

"You know it, my bad childhood."

"What would you do if I told you Jack had the same childhood?"

"No he had a happy family upbringing. He told me about it once."

"No he didn't. His father was a drug addict and an alcoholic. He would beat Jacks mom and Jack would hear it. His father was an Army Captain. After he returned from war he got violent. When Jack was a teenager his father turned his rage to Jack. When Jack turned eighteen he left to join the army. What he did was classified, but he spent a lot of time in Russia at the beginning of his career."

"That doesn't make him a traitor." Nina argued.

"Same circumstances and he had opportunity to do get trained by the government." Dante argued.

10:30

Chase and the others were outside the compound they were awaiting a satellite photo to be uploaded into Chase's palm pilot. Once it was uploaded they would make a plan and go in and get Jack.

Chase called Tony, but Chloe answered the phone.

"Chloe let me talk to Tony."

"Hold please."

Tony picked the phone up a moment later, "What Chase?"

"We are just outside the compound now getting ready to head in. I though you should know. The back up is here and were ready to go."

"You have the green light from the President. He wishes you good luck too."

10:35

Keller's phone rang while he was question Jack. "Excuse me Jack. Sorry about this I hate cell phones."

"Hello."

"You have to get out of there now. They are coming. A team is just outside. Abandoned everything and leave now. They know where you're at."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes. Positive."

"Thanks for the heads up."

He hung up the phone and looked at Jack. "Looks like we will have to cut this short. I have to leave on urgent business."

Keller walked out of the room and down to the room Nina and everyone was in. "A team is outside we have to leave. Now."

The four people took off out the back of the barn. They drove through the night in a black van with all of the lights off.

10:40

Jack sat in the room with the cloak over his head awaiting the return of the guy who was clearly messed up. Possibly a humanist with the real you thing, but other than that he didn't know what was going on. He heard the door open and was expecting the same voice, but to his shock it was Nina.

"Jack. What is this about you being a traitor?"

"What?" Jack said angry.

"They say you're working for Russia."

"Nina why would I have done the things I have done if I'm working for them."

"I don't know, but they had some good reasons."

"How are you still alive?"

"I don't know. They had to leave in a hurry."

At that moment Chase and the team came busting in. Nina looked at Chase. She had her hands above her head as she said, "No need to worry. They already left."

"Damn it. I always miss the action." Chase said jokingly. He walked up to Jack and took the black cloak off of his head. "Hey Jack. Nice to see you again."

"Yeah." Jack said.

"Why don't we get out of here? Debrief you two and let Nina go back to her criminal duties." Chase said.

"Sounds like fun." Jack said as he stood up from the chair after one of the other team members uncuffed him.

"Jack your going to drive back in the second van. We have a medical person in there. Your shoulder needs to be looked at." Chase said.

"Sure." Jack replied.

Once they were in the van Nina began to tell Chase about what a few of the men had said to her. She left there names out of it. She still worked for them, and they didn't kill her so that must mean she still has a job.

"They were probably just messing with you Nina." Chase answered.

"But when I asked Jack about it he got really pissed."

"Of course he did. He has sacrificed so much for this country to think that he was a traitor?"

"Yeah probably." Nina stayed silent the rest of the ride.

10:50

Chase called Tony from the van, "We got them both and were bringing them back. It was really weird. The people took off before we got there and left these two alive."

"Yeah that is weird." Tony said. "Oh well. It's good."

Tony told the President the good news.

"That's great. I'm going to go to Jacks office and catch some shut eye on his couch. Do you think he would mind?"

"No sir. You could head back now if you wanted. I don't' think there will be much more happening for awhile."

"I want to be here when Jack gets back. Just to make sure everything happens as it is supposed to."

"Sure sir. I'll have him wake you when he gets here."
