Kim ran up to Tony's office where Michelle was filling out some paperwork. She looked up immediately as she saw Kim barge through the door abruptly. Kim was out of breath from running so fast from one end of CTU to the other.
" Milo is currently listening to Dad's wire to check we don't miss anything, and he is also recording what I herd on Dad's. There's nothing to hear from Tony's as it went blank..." her voice trailed off. There was clear emotion for both Jack and Tony as she spoke hurriedly.
" Erm. Kim, what's happened. What's happened?" Michelle asked worriedly.
" Erm. Okay. Well...right...okay....so..Milo was monitoring Tony's bug and all he says he herd was a bang, and then it went dead, as though it may have been broken or something."
"Okay." Said Michelle trying to stay calm and collected for Kim's sake. She hadn't herd about Jack yet.
" ...And I was monitoring Dad's like you told me to. And...oh God...and I herd 3 shots and my Dad kinds yelled...erm......well...then there was banging....and my Dad didn't say anything else.." Kim explained, also trying not to let her emotions get the better of her. " But Milo thinks we've got some sort of lead," she continued, "we think we herd the man who fired the shots... well he is on the scene with my Dad anyway....as we herd him radio somebody through the transmitter, and we were able to hear both sides of the conversation." Kim chose to stop hear.
"And...." Michelle prompted for Kim to inform her of what else she herd.
" Through the conversation they were saying something about Almeida but it was hard to work out...which is why Milo is recording it for you to hear...but there was one thing that was easily herd, they said that they have Bauer." Kim finished.
Michelle let out a long sigh and looked down.
" Well at least we know Jack wasn't killed by the shots if they have him." Michelle tried...
"Suppose." Said Kim in response.
"Right." Said Michelle trying to form her plan of action. "Kim, I want you to get me the recording as soon as possible for myself to hear. Keep trying to get a hold of Tony's transmitter as we may get the sound back. I want you to get Milo and tell him I want the locations tracked and traced for Jack's bug; and Tony's if we find it." She let out a deep breath. "You okay Kim?"
"Yep." She replied, whilst heading out of the door to do her task.
Michelle rang Baker on his phone at his base.
"Baker?" he answered.
"Yeah it's Michelle. Listen, a situation has occurred at Plasma1." Plasma1 was the code name for Jack and Tony's mission. Only Baker, Michelle, Milo and Kim knew - other than those directly involved or those above there heads who organised the whole thing, which is why resources were going to be limited.
"What do you want me to do?" He asked eagerly.
" I want you to contact our three men on backup. Find out where they are if they have sightings and there possible plans of action. Then get back to me." she ordered.
"I'm onto it." He replied.

Jack lay immobile on the cold wooden floor, still unconscious. But inside his mind he was dreaming. He was watching the hockey playoffs with Kim, and they were winning. He watched as his favourite team of all time kept getting more and more and more points. He was grinning like Christmas had come early at the scoreboard. In the background he could hear someone shouting his name over and over again. He wished they would stop as he couldn't concentrate on the game as much, he chose to ignore the desperate calling for him.
Tony lifted himself up off the floor into a sitting position. He didn't have a clue what had just happened, he could just remember a sharp pain and then it went black. He looked around the dimly lit room and saw 2 men stood watching him dressed in swat gear. Tony was definitely confused now. At the other end of the long dark room he could make out Jack, laid out full stretch on his back. He could also tell Jack wasn't moving, and he began to worry.
" Jack........Jack!" Tony yelled desperately.
" He can't hear you Mr.Almeida so I suggest you stop wasting you time." Said an unknown man who Tony didn't recognise. He was called Mark.
Tony pulled himself to his feet and began to get angry.
"Who the hell are you?" Tony demanded, clenching his fists from his anger and confusion.
Two other men came up behind him and began to drag him off into another room whilst he called out for Jack once more. Tony knew they was now in trouble and was scared.

CTU
Baker rang Michelle's phone, who answered promptly.
"What have you got for me?" she asked.
"It isn't good. The three men we had as backup. They are three out of an unknown number of combatants who attacked them. They seem to be the ones who organised this." His voice was dry. He was worried about who was going to help Jack and Tony . After all, the people who were supposed to help them were the ones attacking them.
"Thanks Baker." Michelle hung up. She sat on Tony's couch, figuring what to do next.
