George was just finishing up barking orders into his phone as he placed a hand on Tony's shoulder.

"Almeida, we've got to find her before she leaves CTU, and we need her alive so we can find out who she's working for, get to it" Tony jumped out of his shocked reverie and stood up. His mind was a whirlwind of broken thoughts, yet his body was moving on its own accord. He felts as if somebody had injected ice water into his body.

"Mackenzie just called in and said he found Smith down by the corridor close to the parking garage exit....Start at that location I'll see if I can cut her off at the other end" George said.

Tony felt his body responded to the order automatically and break out into a run. It took all his strength and will to focus his mind at the task at hand. He ran past the downed agent and suddenly he heard the breach alarm sound off. 'Shit she's gotten outside' He felt his pace quicken, and he quickly spotted another agent down as he gazed towards the desk situated next to the agent. He grabbed his walkie talkie and called it in.

George responded "I'll meet you inside the parking garage, hopefully we can cut her off there"

"copy that"

He heard a crashing sound from beyond the door and ran towards the door. He dreaded as he opened it slowly to what was beyond. Two cars appeared that were smashed up badly and then beyond one of the cars he saw Jack holding Nina at gunpoint. 'She deserves this' thought Tony angrily. After everything she's done today. She not only betrayed her country but her collegues, her friends and the civilians that they were sworn to protect. But if Jack killed her the blood would be on his hands and we will never find out who she's working for. Jack had not noticed Tony slowly approaching them, Nina did not show any realization on her face, but Nina never revealed anything on her face. "Jack don't do this she's not worth it" Tony said trying to feign calmness in his voice.

"She deserves this Tony and nothing less, look what she did to my family today, she put them all at risk."

"Jack I agree with you she does deserve this, hell she deserves worse then this, but if you kill her you'll take the fall for it. What about your family Jack they need you, especially after today, they need you to be with them not rotting in some prison cell." Suddenly George and two guards came into view on Tony's left side.

"Come on Jack, just go inside, Kim and Terri are waiting for you" George intervened. "She will pay for what she's done, if you kill her it will give her the easy way out"

Jack lowered his gun a fraction but still had it trained on Nina.

"I'm sending in the guards in to apprehend her Jack, Ok?"

"Yeah"

In a matter of seconds Tony could see the fatigue on Jack's face, and soon the guards were cuffing Nina. Jack lowered his gun totally and backed away from the situation.

"Come on Jack lets go see your family" George spoke quietly as he lead Jack back towards the CTU office.

Tony let out a breath that he did not know that he was holding. He looked on as the guards subdued Nina and finally had her handcuffed and standing between them. Tony looked over to her and looked into her eyes that were blank as usual. A storm of emotions raged through his body as the guards led her away. She paused right in front of him and he felt her gaze burn into him.

"I'm not sorry you know, you didn't really think I actually cared about you? I used you Tony, don't ever forget that."

Tony felt his rage and hurt fill his body. God he could only imagine the contempt that Jack felt towards this women, if he felt that way.

"I always warned you that emotions make you weak.....And Tony by the way, I left you a little present." The corners of her mouth twisted into a sickly sweet smile.

The two guards dragged her away Nina never looking back.
He felt his anger subside once she was out of site. As his fatigue settled in once again new emotions began to embed themselves in his mind. He felt lost, he felt betrayed, he felt as if someone had stabbed him right through the chest, right through the heart. Yet he willed himself onward back into the office, his body now on autopilot. The moment he walked back to his station he forced his emotions back down. Emotions were a luxury that people at CTU did not often indulge in. There would be a time for that later, when he finally would make it home, and he would finally be able to sleep. He sat back down at his desk and sighed as he rubbed the back of his neck. 'How could I have been so fucking stupid? I should have known that she had a secret agenda, she was out of my league to start with. How could she do this to me' Tony belittled himself. ' Stop thinking about it, there's nothing that can change anything.' He noticed Jack walking towards him concern and fear crossing his tired features. "Have you seen Teri lately?" Jack inquired with worry.
