AUTHOR NOTE: MORE OF THIS CHAPTER TO COME BUT THOUGHT I"D UPDATE SINCE I"VE BEEN SLACKING OFF A LOT.

All the times that I've cried

All this wasting it's all inside

And I feel All this pain

Stuffed it down it's back again

And I lie here in bed

All Alone I can't mend

But I feel tomorrow will be ok

The drug was wearing off, it was not a strong sedative. Jack became more and more alert. He heard Nina talking on the phone telling someone she had him and would be there within a few days depending on if they ran into any trouble. She hung the phone up, not noticing Jack was fully alert. She called her contact at CTU, she waited for them to answer the phone and than identified herself, "Do they have a position on us yet?" She asked.

"They know you have a plane. Adam is working on where you are going to be landing. The local authorities are dragging their feet in helping seems they are a little pissed at the U.S. for interfering with their government. Nothing new."

"Good call me if they get the position. I'm going to reroute the plane anyways." Nina hung the phone up. She noticed Jack and smiled at him, "Welcome back."

"Where are we going?" He asked in a weak voice his throat was dry and the sedative still had a little effect on him.

"You are going to meet some friends of mine. Sucks don't it?"

"What?" Jack asked.

"Being caught with no way to escape knowing that any minute I could be leading you to your death." Nina said referring back to the last time they were on a plane together.

Jack knew it was not the best situation, but he still held out hope that he would escape somehow or at least get saved by CTU.

"CTU isn't going to find you Jack." Nina said knowing what he was thinking. "See I have a friend there and they'll let me know as soon as CTU is even close to having us pinpointed, and the funny thing is they won't be found because they haven't yet. They have worked along side you for quite awhile and yet you could not pin point them. Sad isn't it. You couldn't even figure out I was a traitor even while we were sleeping together. I could have killed you so many times and every time you were oblivious to any of it." She smiled at him knowing ultimately she won.

Jack bit his cheek in order to keep from going off. He could not let her get to him he had to keep his mind clear so that when the opportunity to get away came he could take it. He knew it would come and this time he would make it.

"What you don't want to talk?" Nina said smiling at him, she had won. She was a little weary about celebrating, but everything was working out so well. CTU wasn't even close to finding them, and when they did she was sure she would already be long gone and Jack would be in an unknown location.

"Why don't we talk about you Nina. Or about how you killed Teri. You know what you took from Kim, from me. Why? And don't give me the bullshit excuse that she overheard something because we both know that wasn't the motive." Jack was pulling out the ace he had held onto for most of their little mind games, he had figured it out early on why Teri had died and ultimately why it was his fault?

"Well Jack it's not bullsh!t."

"Yes it is. You killed Teri because I left you. Because you knew she was better than you and she had won. I left you for her and that made you angry. You thought you had me all twisted around your pinky, but all it took was her to tell me I could come back and I was gone."

"Don't flatter yourself Jack." Nina said angrily.

"It's not flattering Nina. I killed my wife in the end because I couldn't be alone. Because I turned to you someone who I had loved or at least thought I loved in a time of need, and I guess I underestimated how much you actually cared. Your employers they wanted me dead early on didn't they? Once they found out that I was leaving you and I was able to piece together there was something wrong with CTU they wanted you to kill me, but you just couldn't. After you were freed last year they wanted you to kill me again, and you almost succeed. But you never came back to finish the job."

"I didn't come back because I didn't want to get caught in the U.S. again."

Jack smiled he knew he had her, if it were a game of chest she'd be checkmated about now, "We both know that you have contacts that would have helped you get in and out without being noticed or would have done it for you." Jack smiled he had gained some control back.

"What about you Jack? You never killed me. You knew where I was, at least my contact had been following your little investigation to my where I was. I figured you would show up one day and you never did. Today doesn't count because it was a CTU raid. So what about you Jack, what's your excuse?"

Jack thought about this for a long time and he knew the answer, "Because killing you would make me into you. You don't believe in justice and I believe, even if it has screwed me over, that in the long run justices will fix everything. You cannot just kill people because of what they did. That is why we have court systems you cannot be judge juror, and executioner."

"But you have been countless times Jack."

"No I wasn't." Jack noticed her constant use of his name, a trick to get to him. "I never played all three roles. I was always the executioner and others were the judge and jurors. Everyone who I have ever been ordered to kill had a chance and they screwed it up. As for those I killed while fighting for my country that's the game. We all know it, and they should of stayed at home if they weren't ready to play it."

"But you still have killed innocent people. The Drazen family ring a bell Jack."

Jack glanced to the floor in shame that had bothered him when he found out, he was sorry they got caught in the cross fire, and a part of him now understood Drazen's feeling for vengeance and that is ultimately what kept him from finding Nina or at least going after her. Ultimately he was afraid of turning into Victor. He had seen nothing in the mans eyes, he had nothing left to live for, just his cause, and even that was going away. Jack did not want to be him, but he felt himself slowly changing into the bitter angry man that Victor was. "I know and you don't think that bothers me?" Jack finally said after a moment of silence.

Nina was taken back by his truthful statement. She had not expected him to say that. "So why does loosing Teri make it any different?" Nina said putting the final nail in the coffin.

"It doesn't. But she didn't deserve to die no matter what I did. Neither did Victors family. They were all casualties of the harsh world we live in." Jack said quietly his confidence of early faded away.

The plane landed in a small airport in South America. Nina got off the plane as it was being refilled she made sure that there were at least two men on board with Jack. She called her employer, "I have the package."

"Good. You know what to do with it."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes."

"Yes sir."
