Ok so I had fun with the past few chapters – especially chapter 11 – u guys got so mad than u read 12! It was fun while it lasted...Anyways – this time I'm serious – 5 reviews or no new chapter – and I really need to know – keep it how it is or a little bit of Chase/Kim and/or Teri/Jack or the same amount of all 3 (which won't happen unless I get ideas about Chase/Kim and Teri/Jack because I have no ideas for them – I'm fresh out...) – oh yeah if you get bored anytime – go through season 2 and you can find all the great Tony/Michelle moments – its fun and its great! Try it while you wait for my next chapter!

Disclaimer – still don't own 24 or its characters – I did make up Daniel, Leanne and Brad though...as well as Michelle's parents and brother (well I changed the brother's personality) wish I could own Carlos or Kiefer – tell me if u agree in Reviews!!

REVIEW REVIEW REVIEW!

Michelle picked up her phone – "CTU – Dessler"

"Hey Michelle – almost ready to go?"

"Yup, just gotta finish a few things up and we can go!"

"Ok, just come over to my desk when your ready – I was thinking we'd go to that little café over on Forman and Stanley."

"Sure, sounds good....I haven't been there in ages!"

"Bye"

"Bye Tony"

Michelle saved what she was working on, grabbed her coat and headed over to where Tony was standing waiting for her...

"Hey Tony – Let's go!"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

They went to the café on Forman and Stanley called café max – they talked about a lot of things – they could always find things to talk about and they loved listening to each other's stories...

Michelle asked him about his childhood and parents and if he had brothers or sisters and was content to listen to him – he told her his mother died when he was 14 and he had a younger sister named Danielle...she was 10 years younger – only 4 when their mother died so he had raised her with his father...

Tony answered all her questions than asked the same type – Michelle said both her parents were still alive and she had a brother named Danny...

After they finished lunch they still had 15 minutes until their lunch hour was over and it was a nice day so they decided to take a walk down by the river – Tony still hobbled from his fall the night before but he barely noticed the pain because he was too focused on Michelle...

They walked along the river, holding hands and just enjoying each other's company – when it was time for them to head back to work neither of them wanted to go – they wanted to spend more time together...

"CTU – Almeida"

"Hey Tony – are you busy?"

"No, not really...why?"

"Oh, just wondering how your feeling – is your ankle any better?"

"Yeah, its better than it was, its not as swollen...well I'll spare you the details – are we still on for tonight?"

"Of course, wouldn't miss it for the world" Michelle knew she was telling the truth unlike with some of the guys she had been with – she had never felt this way about any guy – EVER!

"Michelle..."

"Yeah Tony?"

Tony could tell Michelle was distracted – he figured it was because of Brad earlier that morning – she was worried, he couldn't fully read her but he had worked with her for 2 years now so he could read most of her thoughts pretty well...

"What's up? Are you okay? Do you want to talk about anything?"

"I'll be fine...thanks Tony...I'll see you tonight..." Michelle knew this time she was lying and she hated lying to Tony....she just didn't want Tony to deal with this – she didn't want him to get involved – she was worried Tony would get involved and Brad would hurt him like he almost did that very morning...

"Ok, I'll pick you up at 7...I hope you like Italian..."

"One of my favorites, see you later" Michelle hung up and just sat, worried that Brad would cause more trouble...somehow, she wasn't sure exactly how but she sensed something...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Thanks for dinner Tony, it was great."

"Yeah, it was – wasn't it...I hadn't been there for a few years now..."

"Do you want to come in for a drink?

"Sure, I'd..."

"I'd bet he'd like that, wouldn't he Michelle, a chance to get in your pants..."

Tony turned around and Michelle looked up from looking at Tony to see Brad standing there pointing a gun at Tony...

"Brad...what are you doing here? I told you we're over..."

"Yeah well, if I don't have a chance with you than neither can little baby Tony – the little baby that sprains his ankle because of the rain...haha what a baby...BABY TONY..."

"Brad – don't you dare talk to Tony that way..."

"Well no worries about that....nobody will be able to talk to Tony after I'm done with him..."

"Not if I have anything to do with it...DROP YOUR WEAPON and than don't move Brad..."

"Huh, what the?" Brad tried to turn around as he dropped his gun...

"I said DON'T MOVE BRAD, or I'll shoot..." Tony and Michelle smiled as Jack held a gun to Brad's head...

"The police are on there way...but if you move I will have to shoot..."

"When did you get here? How? What..."

"Shut your trap, I don't want to hear another word out of you..." Jack yelled...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The police came and arrested Brad...

"Jack...thanks so much" Michelle said as she went over to Jack and gave him a hug...

"Jack – thanks man, I owe you...but how did you know?"

"Years of practice...I followed him after he was let go from CTU, I knew he was going to do something, I could just tell..."

"Well Jack, we owe you a lot, would you like to um, come in for a drink or something?" Michelle offered...

"I'd love to...but I promised Teri I'd come home as soon as I was done here..."

"Well, how about tomorrow night, you and Teri come over for dinner - Kim and Chase are welcome to come as well..."

"That'd be great Michelle; I'll talk to the wife...and Kim..."

And just as quick as Jack had appeared, he had disappeared...

"Now where were we?"

"Well, I had just invited you in for a drink, and you were on your way in..."

"Actually, its getting late, sorry Michelle, but how about I pick you up for breakfast at 6:30?"

"Okay, that's actually a good idea, it was a big day today...and I'm kind of tired myself – you can come tomorrow night right?"

"Oh, yeah I guess – I thought you were only inviting Jack and Teri..."

"Are you kidding me? Of course you're invited...I'll see you at 6:30 in the morning..."

Tony leaned in and they shared a passionate kiss. Tony turned around and hobbled to his car...Michelle smiled as she watched Tony leave...Tony smiled as he headed towards his car...

Ok – so it took me a while to update because I'm not very satisfied with the amounts of reviews I'm getting....without reviews I will not update – if I get 5 reviews by the end of the 20th I will post 1 more chapter, and than there will be no more chapters for a week – if I don't get 5 reviews by the end of the 20th, no more chapters for a week....or more...

Just a quick note – Taking Lives is now out (Kiefer Sutherland, Angelina Jolie, Ethan Hawke) – Awesome movie – I recommend it to all....(thriller – suspense movie...with big twists...keeps you interested and hooks you in!)

Next Time: Chapter 14: The Dinner
