He was still sitting in the chair. He didn't know what he should have done. He just imagined Michelle being hurt. It hurt him so much. He saw her before his eyes screaming in pain. He wanted to concentrate on something else but he couldn't. He knew he had to tell them the number. But this choise also cost a lot of lives. He knew he couldn't live with the thought of giving away his co-workers. The people who took their lives in his hand. They trusted him.

He knew if he could have escaped somehow they would surely hurt Michelle. It was also obvious that he could never lived without her.

Suddenly something came to his mind. It seemed to be the only way out. He had to kill himself. Commiting suicide would surely prevent them from getting the discs and maybe they wouldn't bother to hurt Michelle either. It seemed to work in thought. Now he had to work out a plan.

First of all there were these men in the room. They would not let him kill himself. He could try to fight them and meanwhile they could kill him. But they weren't so stupid. They got an order and it was to keep him there safe and alive. He needed to get them out of the room somehow.

As he was running out of time he became more and more nervous. He wanted his mind to be clear but Michelle couldn't get out of it. He could only hope she was alive.

He was sure he couldn't get out but the only choice was to fight them. He decided to take a last attempt before that. "Go and tell Max, I've already decided." Tony said in a sure voice. This time he had luck. The guards looked at eachother and one of them left the room.

He stood up and tried to attack the other guard but he knocked Tony easily out.

"Jack, He's stopped. He's at a house in the Derek Road. It has a big garden with trees. I can only see only two cars. I suppose there won't be big resistance. I'm sending you the exact coordinates."

"Then we can get closer by car if there's no need to hide them. We attack them fast. By the time they've noticed that they're being attacked it would be too late." Jack made known his plan so that his men and Chole could also hear.

As they went in they parted to small groups. The house was big and it had a second floor and a basement as well. Jack went with Logan. There was a long corridor with three doors. They looked in the first. They found no people in it. Then they heard two shoots. They couldn't tell where they came from, who fired or was hurt. They had to go on. Other shots were heard. This time they didn't stop. It was gunfire. Then could be heard from different directions. They knew they had to be more careful. They wanted the people alive but it didn't seem to be the aim right then.

Glant arrived and was escorted to Max.

"What are you doing here?" Max asked in a rude and hostile voice.

"I escaped." Glant anwered but hesitation could be heard in his voice.

"What have you told them?"

"I..I..." Glant was frightened. He was never a good liar so he decided to tell the truth. Then he looked in Max's eyes and he couldn't do it. He looked down on to the floor and finished "I've said nothing."

Max took out his gun and shot him twice.

The guards in the building noticed early that they weren't alone. They started killing their attackers. They were succesfull. They knew what to expect: fully armed and trained attackers.

In opposite the CTU team didn't know who the people in the house were.

From the second door somebody came out hearing the noise. He spotted Jack and Logan. He started fire. Logan was hit by the shots, Jack was going after him. They managed to go back to the first room. Logan was badly hurt but was still living. They heard no moves from the corridor. Jack decided to look out. He was still there and fired at the moment Jack pushed out his head. Jack fired back but hit only the wall. So did the other man. He tried to come closer when Jack stopped firing for a few minutes.

Jack managed to shoot him. The man fall dead on the floor. Jack realised that they needed help and radioed Chloe.

"Chloe. We're under attack. Send fortification and ambulance as soon as possible."

"OK, they'll be there in 10 minutes."

Then he turned back to Logan. He was still holding his gun.

"Can you protect yourself?"

"Everything's OK. Go on."

"Right." With that he was already out of the room.

He went to the second room. He was stunned when he saw Tony laying unconscious on the floor. He went to him and woke him up.

When Tony opened his eyes he couldn't believe what he had seen. He closed his eyes and opened them again. Jack was still there. Tony felt relieved. He had never been so happy to see him in his life.

"What are you doing here?" asked the still surprised Jack.

"I wanted to ask the same."

"No matter. Let's get out of here and we'll discuss that later." Jack helped Tony to stand up.

Jack's back was in the direction of the door so he couldn't see the man that suddenly appeared in the door. He aimed his gun at him. Tony had no time to warn him nor to push him aside. The man shot three times.

The shots hit Jack on his back. He had no time to turn or do something against it. He just stood there as if the bullets couldn't harm him. He felt pain, hot and cold at the same time. He felt to be heavy. He felt his own warm blood flowing down his neck. He looked at Tony's frightened face. Tony shouted something Jack couldn't understand. He closed his eyes because all he could see were green and red spots. He knew it was the end. Then everything went black, he collapsed.

"Noooo" It was what Tony could shout. He was frightened. He just stared at him. He heard the shots. He wanted to belive that they didn't hit Jack. The expression on Jack's face showed no pain. He looked calm. But his face turned paler and paler. Tony could tell from Jack's eyes that he could't see clearly. Then Tony spotted the red blood flowing down from Jack's neck and shoulder. Then Jack collapsed.

Tony forgot the man standing in the door. He could only see Jack's limp body. Another friend. This time it hurt more. He had to look on it. He fell on his knees. He didn't hear the man shouting at him not to move. Though he made no attempt to move. Tony just stared at Jack and cried. His body was rocking slightly. He was trembling with fear. He felt cold. His face turned pale and he began sweating.

Another men came to the door. Tony didn't notice them. Two of them approached him while the other, who had shot Jack, was still pointing his gun at him. They grabbed him and made him stand up. He didn't resist. He just stared at Jack. He didn't know what was happening around him. They cuffed him and led him to a van.

When Chase and his team arrived they found a quiet and deserted house. Nobody was moving there. Chase was frightened to see the dead lieing everywhere. "Go and look for survivors and be careful. We could never know what to expect in this house" He said to his team before they parted to small groups.

"They made a massacre here. Chloe, everybody seems to be dead." Chase informed Chloe.

They looked in the rooms. He had foreboddings as he saw the bodies. He suspected that nobody could come out alive. He just hoped that Jack could. He was THE HERO. He could get out of every situation. Nothing could have stopped him before. Why would right now? He had been in harder situations and come out alive.
