Chapter 5
Another two months have passed since we last caught up with our characters. Over the time, Tony and Michelle have continued to get closer, but are still keeping their relationship a secret from their friends. Also, construction has begun on the new field-ops offices. And, we meet Chase for the first time in an interview with Jack and Tony. Since this mainly about CTU, Kate will not be appearing, but for all who care, they are still together and happy.
"Mr. Almeida?"
"Yea, come in. What's going on Derek?"
"We just need you to look over the final plans for the rest of the floor. Jack approved, but I need you ok as well."
"Ok, sure. Let me see." After about five minutes, he agreed they were fine.
"Thank you sir."
"No problem."
--cut to Jack in the conference room—
"Hello, I'm Jack Bauer. Chase Edmunds?"
"Yea, pleasure to meet you."
"Alright, Tony, the head of CTU, will be joining us in about half an hour but I thought we should talk a little first. That cool?"
"Great. Where should we start?"
"Well, why do you want to be in Field-Ops?"
--cut to Michelle's station—
"CTU, Dessler."
"Michelle, hey it's Ryan. Is Tony in his office?"
"Um, no he is overlooking the construction momentarily. Why?
"Can you go up to his office and put me on speaker. I need to ask you two something and for whatever reason I can't get through to Tony."
"Okay. Give me one second to find him." After transferring Ryan to Tony's phone, she went to track him down and found him with Derek.
"Tony."
"Yea Michelle, what's up?"
"Um Ryan's on the phone. He wants to talk to both of us."
"Really? Alright, let's go. Derek, give me like ten minutes."
"You got it boss."
"Did Chapelle say what he wanted?"
"No, he didn't fill me in."
"Well, let's find out." Opening the door for Michelle, he led her into his office.
"Ryan, it's me and Michelle. What's up?
"Oh, hi. I need a huge favor from you two. I was supposed to attend a conference in D.C. regarding the recent threat of biological warfare. It will take the whole weekend and I just found out my daughter got hurt at sleepaway camp in New York and I need to go see her. I had to pick my two best agents to fill my shoes and I chose you two. Could you fill in for me? I know its last minute but I am out on a limb here."
Not quite sure, they both looked at each other wondering what the other was thinking.
"Wow, uh Ryan, you kind of took us by surprise. If we were both gone, who would be head of CTU?"
"Jack. I already talked to him when he was at Division yesterday. He was cool if you two were."
"Um, sure. We wouldn't mind." Tony responded with some uncertainty in his voice.
"Great guys, thank you very much. And, its all expenses paid so enjoy!"
"Thanks Ryan. When do we leave?"
"Early Friday morning. You start Saturday morning bright and early so do what you want Friday night."
"Alright."
"Great. Thanks again, guys."
"Anytime." Hanging up, Tony looked both confused and happy with the offer on the table.
"Well, that's new. Are you okay with this?"
"I don't know. I mean it will be nice to get away for a few days but, you know, I'm a little unclear about these travel arrangements."
"Oh yea? Anything I can clear up for you?" Tony asked slyly as he moved closer to Michelle's spot in his office.
"Well, let me see if I have this straight. I get to spend the entire weekend away from CTU, with you, and we don't have to sneak around- at all?"
"It would look that way."
"Hmmm, well, I might need some persuasion before I just agree to such a thing." By this point they were mere inches from each other.
"Let me see what I can do about that." And, with that, Tony moved in to plant a very romantic and sexy kiss on Michelle. After about twenty seconds, they separated.
"Ha, well. I'm convinced." Michelle looked awestruck at how passionate a kiss Tony just gave her.
"Glad I could be of service."
"So, why don't you pick me up at like 6?"
"Sounds great."
"Great. By the way, are you going to be here all night with Jack again planning?"
"Yes, unfortunately. Trust me I would rather be with you, but now that we are leaving, I will be finalizing the weekend plans all night."
"Ok, so I'll see you tomorrow at 6?"
"Yep."
"Great." And, with that, Michelle left his office, indescribably happy that she would get to spend the entire weekend with the man of her dreams.
