There was a knock on their room. In came Dr. Davidson.
"I have some really good news for you Jack. All your test have come back clear. Your heart is beating at a good strong normal pace and all your vitals have stayed well above where we needed them to be to send you home. That means you will be discharged tomorrow about noon. I have called ahead and send your prescription to your doctors office back in LA." The Doctor said.
"That's great news. Thank you Doctor." Jack said sighing in relief.
"Mr. Edmunds, we want you to be in here for a few more days to a week. We will be moving you to a private room tomorrow after Mr. Bauer leaves. Your vitals are good. We just want to keep an close eye on you, don't worry its all for precautions sake." The doctor said before putting down Chase's chart.
"That's good to hear. When do you think I will be able to get back to work." Chase asked.
"Not for a while, you don't want to cause your body to much stress. It is still repairing itself inside a wrong move and you may end up in the hospital. They hit some muscle when they stabbed you, but not to worry your young and healthy it will repair itself quickly." Davidson said to Chase before leaving.
"When do you all fly back." Jack asked Tony as him and Kim gathered their things to go back to the hotel.
"Tomorrow about 3:15, I would like to stay longer but I can't leave Michelle running the show at CTU." He said.
"Right, I'm being discharged tomorrow." Jack said eating his late lunch the nurse brought in. "So I need to call the airline."
"Dad, you can take my ticket and I will stay here with Chase." Kim offered.
"Sure sweetie that would be perfect." Jack said giving Kim a hug.
"See ya tomorrow sweets." Chase said sitting up to give her a kiss. "Miss ya."
"Me too. Love you." She said before saying bye to her father.
On a plane about an 2 hours outside of Tampa someone was making a few phone calls to hunt down the man by the name of Jack Bauer.
"Tampa General Hospital." Asked a nurse when she picked up the phone.
"Yes, I was calling to see if a certain patient is there." Asked the mystery person. "A Mr. Jack Bauer."
"Okay let me see." There was a pause as the nurse was checking. "Ah here it is. Yes there is a Mr. Bauer he is set to check out tomorrow at noon. Is there anything else."
"Yes, what time are the visiting hours till?" The voice came again.
"Tonight they are till 10 P.M.." The nurse said.
"Thank you very much." The person said hanging up.
Kim and Tony got back to the hotel about 5 and decided room service would make a nice dinner.
"You did a good job today Kim. I mean handling you know." Tony said eating his hamburger.
"Thanks It was hard but when they started talking I could tell by the way they were joking and laughing that they will be fine." Kim said digging into her salad.
"Ya, so what did Michelle say when you called." Tony asked.
"She is excited about the baby, and is looking forward to doing all the mother stuff with me." She responded.
"You two are gonna be a handful for me and Chase, I can tell already. I should tell him to say good-bye to the rest of his paychecks huh." Tony said laughing.
Kim laughed. "Tony, I want to thank you for everything you have done for me the past few days. It means alot to me. Your a good friend." Kim said with a appricative smile.
"Don't mention it Kim, I told your dad I would take care of you, and I'm good to my word." He said.
"Bet your not going to miss the hospital food." Chase said staring at the ceiling.
"Not one bit. You'll be out in no time Chase." Jack said getting his pillow fluffed to go to sleep.
"Ya. I am just looking forward to going home." Chase said falling into a deep sleep.
Jack laid there for the longest time. The image of seeing Chase being smashed though the crates was replaying though his head. How close he came to breaking another promise to her.
He soon fell into his deep sleep his body so desperately needed.
The plane landed at Tampa International about 8. The person got off and went to pick up their duffle bag before calling for a cab to head over to the hospital to pay Jack a little visit.
The person arrived at the hospital and went to check get a visitors pass from the nurse's station.
"Sign this and then I can give you the pass. Visiting hours will be ending in about an hour."
"Thank you." The person signed the sheet then took the pass and headed down the hall.
The doorknob slowly turned the lights were off in the room, they closed the door quietly not to wake either of the men. They stood in the shadows for a few minutes before sitting in the chair next to Jack waiting for him to awake. He soon awoke not noticing the dark figured that loomed next to him. He adjusted in the bed, then he noticed the person next to him, they were sitting in the shadow so he couldn't make out who it was.
"Who are you?" Jack said setting himself up on one arm trying to see who it was.
"It's been a long time. I'm upset you don't remember me." The person said leaning forward so their face would be in the light.
"Oh my God." Jack said.
"I have some really good news for you Jack. All your test have come back clear. Your heart is beating at a good strong normal pace and all your vitals have stayed well above where we needed them to be to send you home. That means you will be discharged tomorrow about noon.
