The day started to be one ordinary day in the office. Jack was already in the office when Tony arrived. They were working on finding the head of the terrorist group, SIGHT.

"CTU Director Almeida"

"Hi Tony, it's Taylor. I have something you'll surely be interested in. Let's meet in 15 minutes in Buckson Park."

"I'll be there." Tony said, hanging up the phone. He went down to Jack.

"Jack, I have to go. Could you carry on interrogating Glant? Phone me if you find out something!"

*******

Glant was a middle-aged man with fair hair. He sat in a chair in the middle of the room. He was elegant. Not only his clothes showed it but his manner. Jack knew he had no easy-work. The man looked balanced. The ordinary procedure could have had no effect on him.

Jack took a deep breath and went in. He sat down in the chair in front of Glant. They sat in silence for long minutes. Then suddenly Jack stood up, turned back and went out of the room. The expression on Glant's face didn't change a lot. He wasn't afraid, only a little bit curious.

*******

Tony arrived in time. He waited leaning against his car. He saw a blue Ford approaching. He knew it was Taylor, he was a friend of him. They met during the trainings and went out drinking together several times.

He noticed Taylor being more nervous than usuall. He looked around getting out of his car. "I know who you're looking for." he said, giving Tony a folder."You're in it really. It's bigger you could ever think of." Tony was about to open the folder when suddenly two cars appeared. People jumped out of them and started fire.

Tony and Taylor managed to hide in the back of Tony's car and fired back. They managed to hurt one of them when suddenly Taylor fell on the ground with his shoulder injured. The men were approaching them. Tony tried to keep them far but they were in numerical superiority. They came closer and closer. Tony ran out of bullets. Taylor gave him his gun but it was too late.

They were sitting on the ground enclosed by armed men pointing their gun towards them. Tony raised his hands and dropped the gun. Taylor was still conscious but he was losing blood. A man radioed someone and said: "We got them."

*******

20 minutes later Jack came back with papers in his hands. He sat down and put the papers on the desk right before Glant. Jack stared at him and he stared back. Minutes passed without saying a word. Glant was becoming more and more curious. He picked up the document and started reading it. All he did was a slight nod and handed back two papers and held the third for himself.

*******

"Are they living?" asked the voice in the radio

"So far. But one of them is hurt."

"Which?"

"Taylor" then there was a silence for a few minutes. Fear could be seen on Tony's face. Taylor was in pain, he couldn't really concentrate on what happened around him. Tony began breathing heavier and heavier. He knew there was nothing good coming.



"Kill him and bring Almeida here. Alive." the voice broke the chilling silence. Tony wished it wasn't. Taylor closed his eyes. He knew what was coming. There was no way out. He would have resisted if he could. But he wasn't in the condicion to do so. Tony felt his own powerlessness. He wanted to help, scream and cry at the same time. He tried to get up and fight. Then suddenly somebody hit him on his head and he lost consciousness.
