Author Note: How is Nina still alive after having needle jammed in her jugular and than being killed by Jack? Good question. I'll get back to you on that.

Jack was brought back to reality when Tony asked, almost pleaded, "Jack where is Nina? I know you don't want to go through with this. If you help us maybe we can stop this and keep you out of trouble. Come on Jack?"

Jack stared off into the distance his mind battling with itself. Part of him screamed for him to tell Tony what he wanted to know this was not him, but the other side just kept playing the memory of Kim's death over and over. Jack was unable to decided a much to confused to even try.

Darren and Tony stepped out of the room for a minute to talk.

"We can't inject anymore of the drug in him, it will kill him."

"What else is there?" Tony asked wondering how far they could push.

"He had no family left, at least none that we know of, he has nothing left really so it might be hard. I don't think we will be able to do it in time."

Tony thought about the time limit they had and just how much a man could take when he had nothing left to live for anyways. Than Tony remembered something, "He has a sister."

Michelle heard their conversation and said to them over the ear piece, "I'm working on looking her up now."

Tony felt like just maybe they would win. He felt bad for Jack, and even sorry for him but in the end he choose this line in life. Jack could have done a hundred different things, but he choose to help a known criminal and Tony could not feel to bad for him because of that.

Tony and Darren left to a conference room to talk about how to proceed.

Chase sat at his desk watching the video feed. She saw Michelle walk into the room and look at Jack. He could not hear what she was saying.

Michelle looked at Jack who's eyes were half opened as he was still in pain from the drugs injected into him. "Jack?" She said softly. She thought maybe just maybe she could get to him.

Jack eyes blinked in acknowledgement and in a weak voice he answered, "What do you want?" He wanted to tell the truth, but in the end the truth wouldn't help anyone.

"Why?" Michelle asked confused.

"You would never understand." Jack said softly.

"Try me. What happened to you to make you allow millions of innocent people to die. We both know Kim nor Teri would want this. Please help us Jack. I will make sure your back is covered and you walk away from this. Just help us save the people Jack. Your problem is with CTU not the innocent people they are going to kill."

--

Jack continued with the memory of how he reached this point, his downfall. When he awoke later he was handcuffed securely on a plane. He blinked a few times looking around remembering how he got there. Nina looked at him, they were the only people on the plane besides the pilot, she knew him well enough to be able to handle him alone. "So what happened? Who's blood is that?" Nina asked as none of her contacts had called her back yet with information on what happened.

Jack glared at her than his eyes began to fill with tears he quickly pushed them back. The memory of Kim's brains flying onto his face haunting him. He knew that would haunt him the rest of his life, which he hoped wasn't too long.

"Don't talk than."

"Where are we going?" he croaked his throat dry and the lump in it causing him trouble. He believed that at any moment the lump would give and he would not be able to control his emotions and Nina would see him down and out.

"A contacts place." Nina answered purposely not giving him any details. Her phone rang she answered it walking away from him so he could not hear the conversation.

The mans voice on the other line came through, "I found out what happened. It's going to cost you some the person who gave me the information wanted more money than usual."

Nina contemplated it, did it really matter if she knew what happened as long as she knew that it had this effect on Jack. He was docile never once tried to fight back except for when she pushed him, which she knew was a little gutsy to do. "Fine." She said letting her curiosity win.

"His daughter was killed in front of him by a Michaels." The man said.

"Shot in the head?" Nina asked knowing the matter on Jack's shirt was mostly brain matter.

"Yeah. How did you know?" The man said feeling like his thunder was being stolen.

"If you see him you'd know." Nina said looking back at Jack again who sat in the chair looking down at the ground seemingly lost in thought. He looked so defenseless to the point she was sure she could walk up to him with a gun and he would just it there waiting wishing for death to come.

"Anything else I can do?"

"Just let me know if they get close to finding us." Nina hung the phone up and walked over to the seat next to Jack. She collapsed in the chair and said, "I'm sorry for your loss. I know how much Kim meant to you."

She looked at him in the eyes and saw a sadness worse than she had ever seen in him, even worse than when she passed by him, in chains, the night she killed Teri and he was going to tell Kim about her mothers death. "It's hard to lose a child." Nina said thinking about it.

"How do you know?" Jack said angrily.

"Because Jack I have. You don't have a monopoly on pain, thought you seem to think you do, and you get your fair share. Before I came to work for CTU I had a daughter. She was so beautiful, and just perfect." Nina stopped picturing the little girl the picture faded more and more every year. "Every parent thinks their child is perfect, but she was. I was over in England at the time. The year before I went to college, my last little adventure. But I had a child while in High School her father took off, what did I expect we were only teenagers, but I couldn't get rid of her. We were walking around when the IRA attacked. When the Scotland Yard men shot back she got in the crossfire. She died in my arms. After that I was just out of it. She was all I had left, my father wasn't that great of a man, and my mother was gone." She paused the memory of how she became a mole at CTU running through her mind.

Jack continued to look down at the ground tears were running down his face and he was trying to hide it, Nina also had tears in her eyes but not running down her face. She saw the tears on Jack's face and got up to go to the cockpit to give him time alone. She knew they were enemies and she wasn't suppose to care about him or even think about him, but she knew what it was like and she did not want to interfere with him at the moment. She let him have a few moments to himself so he could let it out.

When she returned Jack was off in space staring at the wall. A part of her felt for him, while another just could not feel sorry for him. In the end she believed, everyone brought on what they got. The night Teri died, Jack choose to go after the Drazen's again after saving his family, if he had just gone home Teri would not have been in the wrong place at the wrong time. It doesn't mean she would have lived, but Nina would not have killed her.

Jack was past feeling anything for the moment, he knew it would all come back and kick him in the ars again, but at the moment he was just there nothing else. He just wanted to be done with everything. He did not blame CTU for what happened to Kim at least not yet. He should have been more careful and other things should have happened. He was thinking about all the good memories he had of Kim and Teri together. There were few because it always seemed he was away at work.

"Do you want some scotch?" Nina said holding the bottle she had procured in front of her.

Jack looked up at her being brought back to the harsh reality of the cruel world. Scotch he didn't want some he wanted the entire bottle. Alcohol would dim anything he ever thought or felt, and he could prolong the period of just being, nothing more nothing less. "I'll take the bottle." He said looking at her, he was not sure if it was a sign of weakness, but he knew what he wanted.

"We'll start out with a glass and move our way up from there." Nina said grabbing a blue plastic cup and pouring the contents of the bottle into it. She filled the cup half way up and handed it to Jack, who took it in his cuffed hands.

He gulped the glass down and waited for more. Nina poured him more, if he was drunk than she wouldn't really have to worry to much about him, he was making it all to easy for her. He toss down the scotch and waited for more. He continued to do this till the bottle was almost empty. Nina looked at him holding the empty glass he was already drunk she could tell because the alertness that was always in his eyes had been replaced with a glassy look.

"No more." she said drinking the rest of the bottle. She didn't like to drink on the job, but she wanted the rest of the bottle to be gone so that he wouldn't bother her for more.

Jack knew he was drunk, and he was not in the best position to be getting drunk, but he didn't care. Nothing mattered anymore, if he woke the next morning it didn't matter because life was pointless. Everything he had ever loved died. He loved Teri and she was gone, he loved Kim and she was gone, and at one time he loved the old Nina, not the one in front of him, but he was sure she was dead and gone already. The Nina he had been with in Santa Barbara, the woman who had shared intimate moments and memories with him was long gone and replaced with this new Nina who was not even a reflection of the old woman.
