Kit woke up with Nina staring at him. He sat up and asked, "What, did I snore?" He was wondering why she was staring at him.
"No, sorry. Old habit I had." Nina said being brought back from her
thoughts of the past, the present, then the future. "How are we going to
stop everyone after us?" She asked saying what both of them were not really addressing.
"We have a plan, and you're having doubts about it?" Kit inquired.
"Yeah. I don't think they are going to believe you. There is no
way. You walk in there and they are just going to kill you."
"Then we go after them." Kit said as if it were the simplest thing
ever.
"It won't work out. There is too many of them."
"Then how about you tell me something to pass on to help bring them
down?" Kit asked
"It's not that simple." She said getting irritated at Kit. Maybe he
was not as smart as she thought, but he was a novice with some experience. No one could blame him.
Kit heard the footsteps outside and put his finger to his mouth. A
second later, the door flew off it's hinges and a man charged in firing at
them. Kit grabbed Nina and pulled her to the floor with him on the other side of the bed.
"Where is your gun?" Nina asked looking at Kit reaching for the
table where her own gun sat.
"It's in the night stand." Kit jumped up to grab his Beretta and went to
the other side of the bed.
A knock came on the door and a man's voice said, "House-keeping."
Both Kit and Nina were sure it was just a trick to get them to say
they were here. They both sat silent on the floor waiting for the door to
open.
It seemed like an eternity for the door to open and the old cart to
be pushed in. Both Nina and Kit sat ducked under the bed waiting for the right moment to jump up and fire.
Kit raised his head and had his gun ready to fire. When the man saw
the gun, he jumped back and said, "Sir. I'm sorry. I'm house-keeping I'm
not trying to break in or anything."
Kit could tell by the fear in the man's eyes that he was genuinely
scared. This led Kit to concluded he was telling the truth. "Sorry. I'm a
federal agent." Kit answered trying to relieve some of the terror from the poor man.
"I'll come back later." The man said pushing the cart out of the room
and down the hall.
Nina sat up from the floor and said, "We can't live like this, always looking over our shoulders. It's not going to work."
"Yes, it will. Just give me the information on the organization. We
already took some of the people out with the raid and we can get the head guy with your help. Then all that leaves us with is CTU and Jack. I can handle CTU. Chase will help with that. That just leaves Jack. He's going to be busy for at least a year probably so we will have time to figure out how to deal with him, but first let's deal with the people who are our immediate threat."
"Fine. I'll write out all I know and you can fax it to your contact
at CTU." Nina answered. "Tomorrow, though. We both need to rest and then go out and have some fun before we get bogged down with trying to found a way out of this." Nina smiled and hugged Kit. She pulled him down to the bed with her and put a finger over his mouth as he went to talk, "Shh. Go to sleep. I know it's the middle of the afternoon. We will have fun tonight."
Kit and Nina fell asleep holding each other. Kit had nightmares of
Jack coming after him, and in every nightmare he would run from Jack for what seemed like forever, never getting out of breath, but after awhile he would just stop. He wasn't tired and he could have ran for even longer. Kit aimed his Beretta and fired a whole clip at Jack's head, but it didn't work. Doing so felt like shooting a ghost as the bullets flew past Jack. Kit raised his fists and threw all possible punches and kicks, but the effects were still the same. Jack threw a straight jab into Kit's face followed by a front kick, knocking Kit down. Jack pulled out a P228 handgun and shot Kit in the head. Kit jolted awake with the last nightmare bringing Nina to consciousness with him.
"What is it?" She asked groggily.
"Nothing. Go back to sleep."
"What time is it?"
"Six."
"Let's go get some dinner. Let me get in a shower. We can have a
few drinks too. Then maybe come back later for a little fun. We
probably should move to a different hotel."
Kit waited patiently for Nina to get out of the shower. He was
hungry and his stomach was growling at him for food. He hoped everything would work out for them. He thought he really loved Nina, and he must because he was willing to sacrifice everything for her. His dream still haunted him though. Would that be what it was like when he faced off with Jack? He knew there was no other way to stop Jack other than to kill him. Kit started having second thoughts for Kim and Chase's sake, but just continued on with the plan.
himself, Jack was in a sense a good guy. He did do some illegal things from time to time to help the cause, but it was always sanctioned. In the end, would killing Jack be as bad as Jack killing Nina and him for doing this? That was the question Kit had to find the answer to for himself.
Nina came out of the bathroom in a towel. She dressed in her clothes
again and grabbed Kit by the hand and said, "Forget about whatever we have facing us. We are going to have fun tonight and act like two normal people, who just happen to be concealing weapons because they have CTU, and another organization after them."
Kit gave her a smile for what she said even though he was still
contemplating the question. "Let's go. Where to?"
"I don't know. Let's walk to town and then decide."
They walked hand in hand for about half a mile until they hit the
main strip of the city. Neither of them where sure what they wanted to eat and they looked at the different restaurants that were open. Finally, they decided to go into a nice Italian restaurant.
Kit ordered chicken Parmesan and Nina decided to have the same
thing. They ate in silence both enjoying the music. Finally Nina broke the silence and asked, "You aren't having second thoughts, are you?"
"No, not at all. I'm just thinking about what we have to do." Kit
answered lying. He was having second thoughts, but he knew he would go through with it, he was like Jack. Once he said he would do something, he would take it to the end.
"Stop it. We are having fun tonight. Seriously. You are a kill-joy sometimes. Let's just relax and have fun. That is what tomorrow and the next few weeks are for." Nina said. She knew she was completely out of character, but she wanted to show Kit a different side of herself, the side that Jack only got to see sometimes.
"Fine. What would you like to talk about?" Kit asked nervously.
"Seen any good movies recently?" Nina asked at an attempt of
normalcy. She had not had a normal conversation in a long time, and she
found it alarming hard to have one.
Kit laughed, "No, not really. I didn't have a lot of spare time ever since CTU basic training. What is your favorite movie?" Kit asked wanting to get a better chance to know Nina.
"Uh, good question. I'm not sure. There are so many good ones out
there. Believe it or not, I actually like the romantic comedy Love Actually. I was surprised by it and it was really funny. That's not my typical movie choice. I liked the original Night of the Living Dead in black in white. When I watch the movie, it still gave me nightmares. Zombies come after me to eat my brains out. How about you?"
"Any Bruce Lee or Jet Li movie. Hands down the best ever. Regarding the Dawn of the Dead movie nightmares, just call me and I'll fight them off for you." Kit answered jokingly.
"Typical of a guy." Nina smiled at him genuinely happy.
"What have you been up to the past year besides working?" Kit
inquired.
"Working is all I have been doing and looking over my shoulder
waiting for Jack to show up one day. He is relentless."
"You killed his wife and betrayed him, what did you expect? If I wasn't sent to find Ellis by Division that day, I might have helped you out."
"Jack was not supposed to live. The Drazens were supposed to kill him." Nina answered truthfully. "It didn't work out that way though. I was stupid to think they could kill him. He is one lucky son of a bitch when it comes to surviving gun fights."
"I doubt so much luck. He's really skilled. He probably is the
best CTU has because he doesn't have anything holding him back anymore. Almost everyone keeps telling me I'm as good as Jack, up to the point where Tony jokingly called me Jack's twin brother."
"What about Kim?" Nina was tired of talking about Jack. They
always seemed to talk about him as if he were the most important thing in the world. The more they talked about him the more she missed him, and the more she thought Kit was a lot like him.
"She is all grown up working for CTU now. Possibly hooking up with
the new agent, Chase."
"Chase, your friend. I know Jack is probably having a heart attack."
"It hasn't happened yet and I doubt Jack knows. He had a heart
attack though, which I mentioned that one other time." Kit said for no particular reason.
"I heard about that. Funny how strong he is, enough about him
though."
"What type of music do you like?" Kit asked not knowing any of the
basic stuff about Nina.
"I like all music. As funny as it is I even like some of the newer
groups out there."
"What would you consider your favorite?" Kit prodded.
"In old rock I like Neil Young, electric blues Steve Ray Vaughn god
could he play the guitar." Nina answered. "What about you?"
"I'm an all type of music man myself. Not sure of any favorites.
Not that I listen to music that often, but occasionally listened to rap music. Blame it on one of my old friends in my Army Ranger squad. It only helped me on karate training, but that's pretty much about it. Anyway, I wish I had more time listening to music."
"Maybe you will soon. Let's go walk around for awhile, take in the
city. Maybe even catch a movie." Nina said.
Kit paid the bill and left a eight dollar tip for the waitress who
did a great job. He held Nina's hand as they walked through the city
checking out different stores. Nina ended up buying some new clothes and a bracelet. Kit picked out a few new pairs of jeans and a few blue and black t-shirts to last him the next few days. They walked back to the hotel with their purchases in hand. Kit opened the door for Nina and walked in behind her. They set their purchases on the bed. "I'm thirsty. Can you go get some sodas from the vending machine?" Nina asked Kit.
"Yeah, what type?"
"Pepsi if they got it."
Kit walked to the vending machine fumbling in his pocket for change.
He found two dollars and put them in the vending machine getting a Pepsi for Nina, and a Sprite for himself. As he was walking back to the hotel room he noticed the door was open he walked cautiously to the door. He glanced inside the room service guy from earlier was inside asking Nina, "Where is he at?" Kit felt for his gun he had taken off when he went inside. He saw it sitting on the bed under the bags. He cursed himself for forgetting to strap the holster before leaving for dinner.
Kit turned the corner quietly and threw the two soda cans hard at the man hitting him in the head and stunning him enough for Kit to run into the room and tackle him to the ground. The man got up and started to throw a roundhouse kick with his right leg, but Kit grabbed the leg, did a palm strike to the stomach, and threw the guy to Kit's back, sending him to a wall inches behind Kit.
The guy groaned and got up. He started throwing a hook punch with the right hand, but Kit yelled as he threw a reverse-crescent kick to the guy's arm with his left leg, inflicting a lot of pain followed by a U-punch to the guy's sternum and stomach. Kit raised his fists in a boxing position. The assassin threw another hook punch with his left hand, but Kit threw a jab to the face with his left hand, followed by a cross punch to the neck with his right hand, and a hook punch with his left hand to the temple in three seconds flat.
Kit rushed behind the man and Kit finally got his arms around the man's throat and began to squeeze tightly. As the guy was gagging, Kit violently twisted the man's neck to his right. Out of breath, Kit stood up dusting himself off. He asked Nina, "Are you all right?"
"Yeah, I'm fine. Are you okay? You're bleeding."
Kit did not notice the cut above his left eyebrow. He wiped the blood off and said, "We better get out of here." Kit grabbed the stuff off the bed and walked quickly to the car. Nina stayed in the room to wipe everything off so that their fingerprints were not left behind.
Kit was putting the stuff in the trunk when he felt the hard point
of a gun dig into his back. He froze in place thinking it was the end of
his life. He knew it was something he was not able to escape from, even if he was trained in martial arts. He thought about his instructor's lecture one time, Don't fight the person head-on if he or she has a weapon. Just run and live to see another day.
A deep voice said, "Don't move. With one hand, grab out your gun
cautiously put it in the trunk and then close the trunk."
Kit did as he was instructed cautiously he put the gun in the trunk
and looked to see if Nina was coming out of the room. She was not in sight.
The man grabbed Kit's left arm and said, "Follow me. If you yell or
alert her in any way, you both are dead."
Kit sighed and followed the man to a black SUV. There were others in the car. The man asked, "Where is the other guy?"
Not the best time to tell him, Kit answered, "Dead."
"I figured. He was a stupid son of a bitch. Get in."
Kit got into the back seat and was sandwiched between another man
and the man who held him at gun point. The SUV backed out and turned off into the Canadian night. The men stayed alert with their handguns pointed at Kit. Kit sat still not moving and unsure why he was still alive.
One of the men's phone rang and he answered it, "Yeah!"
The voice on the other line asked, "Did you get him?"
"Yes, we have him. Are you sure she is going to do what you want?"
"Yes. I think she loves him." The man on the line laughed at the
irony of Nina falling in love with another CTU person.
"We are about twenty minutes out." The man said grabbing a black
bag out of the back and putting it over Kit's head so that he could not see where they were going.
"See you in twenty. I'll make the call when you are here."
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------
Nina walked out of the hotel room and looked around the parking lot
for Kit. She walked over to the car and looked inside and didn't see him.
She walked back to where she had last seen him, the trunk and the keys sat in the lock, but no Kit. She opened the trunk and saw Kit's Beretta sitting inside. A sudden rush of fear ran through her. She got into the car and drove off, not sure what she was doing, but her instinct told her to get away from the hotel.
After about twenty minutes of driving around her phone rang. "KIT?"
"No. We have him though. Do what we want and I promise you will
not get pieces back of him."
"What do you want?"
"Where are you now?"
"On Mount Holland."
"Okay go back to the hotel and wait there one of my men will be by."
"Who is 'we?' I'd like to know who I'm dealing with."
"Don't worry about who we are. Just be there or you'll get a piece
of him." The man threatened.
Nina drove back to the hotel and waited for someone to come by the
car. Finally about thirty minutes later a man came by stopped outside the driver side window. He said, "Get out."
Nina complied not sure why she was going through all the trouble for
Kit. She could run now and no one would ever find her. A part of her
screamed for her to run, while another well hidden part screamed for her to stay.
The man searched Nina and took the guns off of her. He then said,
"Go back to the gray SUV. Sit in the back and he will tell you what to do."
Nina complied she cautiously walked back to the gray SUV. She
looked around to see if she could spot anyone else watching her. She was sure she saw at least two people across the street, with bulges under their left arms. She opened the door and got in.
The man in the front seat greeted her, "Hello, Nina."
"Can we get to the point please? I want to speak with Kit before I
agree to do anything."
"I figured as much. Don't worry."
"What do you want me to do?"
"We both have the same interest. I heard you wanted to get out of
the business, but you have that nasty organization after you. WE could help each other. I want you to turn everything you know over to CTU and then I want the head of the organization killed, that simple."
"Why didn't you just ask?" Nina asked.
"Because it's much easier to get your cooperation this way." The
man answered.
"I was already going to turn the information over to CTU. As for
killing the head, I can't even get close to him, but Kit could. He could be
a part of the raid on them and he could make sure he was killed." Nina
answered.
"Interesting. This would not cause problems either. Turn the
information over, and then you will switch places with Kit. He will have to agree to kill the man, and once he does, you two are free to go wherever you please, and I will make sure no one bothers you. In return, you do these things for me."
"Let me speak with Kit and make sure he is fine with it. If so, we
have a deal." Nina answered finding it way to easy for her to be getting
away with just this. She expected much worse.
"Here." The man handed her a cell phone that was ringing.
"Hello?" Kit said through the black mask.
"Kit, are you okay?"
Kit recognized Nina's voice. "Yeah. Don't worry about me, I'm a tough guy."
"They want to make a deal. This is what they want, I will turn
everything I know about the organization to CTU, and then you will have to kill the head of the organization in a raid with CTU. During that time, they will have me just to make sure you go through with it, and after all is said and done, we are free. They will make sure no one comes after us from this end of the spectrum."
Kit thought about it for a few minutes. It would not be hard to get
back into CTU and then be a part of the raid. He would not feel bad about executing a bad guy, and this would get this side of the dichotomy off their backs. "What guarantees do we have that they won't back out?"
"We don't. But I think we can trust them, and if not we still have
to try." Nina said quietly so the man in the front could not hear her.
"If you want to do it, then I'll do it." Kit answered.
"I want to do it. Give me the fax number to your friend. After I
fax the information, they are going to let you go. Call your friend and have him wait until you get there. I'll call a few of my contacts to find out where they are at currently, and then you guys can go in, and finish it off." Nina said being excited.
"It's 555-5555. Put it to the attention of Chase from Kit. Write
on there. Wait for me to get there."
"Okay. Bye."
The man took the phone from Kit and waited for his boss to get on.
"What do you want us to do with him?" He asked into the phone.
The man in the front seat asked Nina, "Do we have a deal?"
"Yes, as long as you keep your end up, we will keep our end up."
"Wait until I tell you to release him." The man hung the phone up
and asked, "Do you need a fax machine?"
"Yes. I have the stuff written out already. I did it last night.
You can read over it if you wish." Nina said.
"Yes, where is it?"
"In my bag in the trunk." Nina answered.
The man commanded into a C.B. radio for someone to bring it to
him. The man that had gotten Nina from the car brought the note book to the man in the front seat. The man read it and said, "This is good enough. We will go to my office and fax it. Then we will wait for your friend to do his part. You can call your contacts from my office also."
"Fine. Let's get going so we can get this over with." Nina
answered.
The man got on the phone and said, "Release Lee. Remind him what he
is supposed to do and give him your cell phone. He is to keep it and I will call him on the number once I get word that the man is dead, I will tell him where to pick Nina up at."
"Understood." The man told Kit, "Leave and go do your job, soldier boy. Take this he will call you once he had confirmation."
"Fine." Kit said, "Can I get a ride to the airport?"
"Sure, why not." The man said grabbing the keys from someone else.
They drove in silence to the airport.
Kit went to the ticket counter and said, "I need a ticket to L.A.
as soon as possible."
"We have a flight leaving in a half hour. Do you have any luggage
to check?"
"No." Kit answered. The woman looked at him strangely and Kit
answered, "Got stolen" as an explanation to why he didn't have any luggage.
"Oh, I'm sorry. How will you be paying?"
"Credit card." Kit said handing his Visa card to her.
"Thank you, sir." The woman said after she swiped the card and had
him sign the credit card slip. She gave him his ticket and said, "Have a
nice flight."
Kit sat in the waiting area contemplating how he was going to get
Chase to believe he had solved the case this early after going dark not too long ago. He kicked himself for not thinking things out before-hand. The announcer came over the intercom system asking his flight to board. He waited until they called off his row and he got up and gave the stewardess his ticket. She handed it back to him and he boarded the plane. He sat in his seat hoping he did not get the usual type of person he got sat next to.
Kit closed his eyes and waited for the plane to take off. He felt
someone staring at him so he opened his eyes and looked at the woman
standing in the aisle looking down on him.
"I'm sorry to bother you. But I was wondering if you would be
willing to switch seats with me. I hate sitting by the window. I'm really
terrified of highest and sitting by the window makes it worse." The woman smiled a kind smile at him.
"No problem, you didn't bother me. I hate aisle seats anyways." Kit
said getting up and moving over to the window seat. He sat back down.
"I'm Staci." The woman said putting out her hand of Kit to shake.
Kit took her hand and shook it saying, "I'm Kit. Where are you
from?"
"Originally I was born in Chicago, Illinois, but I moved to L.A. to
get away from the nasty winters. How about yourself?"
"I grew up all over the place, and my family finally settled in L.A.
when I was a teenager." Kit answered finding it weird they both were freely giving out information like this to a complete stranger.
"Well, I let you go back to resting." The woman said.
Kit laid his head back again and closed his eyes. He was not tired,
but his mind hurt from thinking about all he had to do in the next few
hours. He felt the plane start to speed down the runway and lift off into
the air. He found it amazing how such huge heavy things could fly through the air with such ease. The stewardess came by asking, "Would you like a drink sir, ma'am?"
"Nothing for me." Kit answered.
"I'll have Scotch." The woman next to him said.
The stewardess poured a drink and moved down the aisle. Kit returned to his thoughts. He had an hour flight ahead of him and then some explaining to do when he got to CTU. He had never been nervous before everything was on his shoulders again. His future with Nina, and his entire future for that matter.
An hour later, the plane touched down at LAX. Kit waited for the
door to open than he stood up and walked off the plane knowing what he had to do an prepared to do it. He grabbed a taxi outside the airport and told him, "CTU."
"Yes sir." The driver said in a thick Mexican accent.
Kit took out his cell phone and called Chase.
"CTU, Chase Edmunds"
"Chase, did you get my fax?"
"Yeah, man. How did you do it?"
"I got some help. Someone who wants to get out of it all gave me
the information. I'll be there in ten."
"Is everything cool now?" Chase asked wondering about Kit.
"Yeah. My contact is going to call me soon with information on where
the leader is exactly and then we can go pick him up." Kit lied about the
picking up part.
"Ok. I already got Tony to give the go ahead on the strike teams.
Baker's team."
"Fine. I'll be there soon." Kit hung the phone up and felt in the pit
of his stomach that this was not going to work out. Nothing ever worked out like it was supposed to.
His phone rang and he answered it, "Kit."
"It's me. He's in a mansion in Beverly Hills. I gave the address
in the fax. He's only there today so you have to go."
"We already have the team assembled. They are just waiting on me to
get there. It'll be about and hour or so." Kit gave her the time frame.
"I'll see you in a day." Nina said knowing it might take longer for
Kit to finish with CTU.
"Okay. Be careful." Kit said back. "Bye."
"Bye."
Kit hung the phone up and paid the driver. He got out of the taxi
and told the guard who knew him, "I don't have my badge on me. I'm coming in from a black-op mission."
The guard knew Kit and let him in. Kit walked quickly to Jack's
office where Chase was waiting for him. "Ready to go?" He asked when he walked in.
"Hell, yeah. It's been boring as hell around here with nothing to
do." Chase answered with a grin.
The two ran down to the equipment room and got their flak jackets
and M16A2 assault rifles. Kit took a replacement Beretta M92F and three clips for both of the weapons. They followed Baker's team out to the SUVs and got in.
They drove quickly to the mansion going over the general plan of
attack. Agent Baker's team would take the front while Kit and Chase would go through the back. Kit knew he had to get to the man before anyone else did and lose Chase in the process so Kit could kill the man and say he was threatening somehow so that the kill would be clean. They pulled up down the street from the house. Kit and Chase hopped out of the SUV and ran around to the back of the mansion.
Chase told Baker they were ready over the radio. A minute later, they heard the sound of the front door crashing in followed by the sound of the back door going down.
Kit and Chase rushed into the kitchen in the back of the house
yelling, "CTU, put your hands up!"
Kit saw in the corner of his eyes a man with a Colt M1911. He grabbed Chase pulling him into the small foyer that they had entered through. The wall erupted in plaster chunks from the bullets hitting it. Kit turned the corner quickly firing once from his Beretta hitting the man in the head.
Chase followed behind them. They cautiously walked through the
kitchen into a hallway. Kit looked both direction and said, "You go right, I'll go left then upstairs."
Chase took off in his direction and Kit moved quickly but cautiously
towards the stairs. He knew the office was upstairs and he had to get there before anyone else. He quickly ran up the steps taking them two and sometimes three at a time with his M16. He reached the top and fired quickly as he saw another man with an MP5 standing in the hallway. The man's lifeless body fell to the floor. Kit walked to the door the man stood in front of he opened it quickly ready to fire.
Inside sat a robust man with rosy cheeks sitting at his desk. He
put his hands up and said, "What's this?"
"CTU. Drop the gun." Kit yelled if someone was listening.
"I don't have a gun." the man answered.
Kit aimed and fired twice hitting the man in the neck and head from his rifle. Kit walked out of the office and felt the hot pain erupt in his arm, dropping his damaged rifle as he spun around to see a woman with a handgun pointed at him. He raised Beretta and fired at her as she fired at him again. She missed him by mere inches as the bullet whizzed by his head he saw her fall to the floor with a scream.
He walked up to her kicking the gun away. He tore out a sleeve from his flak jacket holding his wounded arm close to his body. He thought to himself, Good thing the leather jacket's back at CTU.
The teams reached the top of the steps and looked on as Kit stood
bleeding. Kit told Baker, "I got the main guy in the office he was going to shoot me. I fired back and he's dead." With that, the raid was over with as quickly as it started.
Baker called for ambulances that were not too far off. He looked at
Kit's arm and said, "Lucky son of a bitch. It's just a scratch. You'll be fine."
Kit walked down stairs and found Chase who looked at his arm and
then asked, "You okay?"
"Yeah." Kit walked out of the house to an ambulance where one of
the medics cleaned and bandaged the grazing wound. Kit found Chase
afterwards and said, "Let's go do the paperwork." Kit and Chase left to go back to CTU to start on the mountain of paperwork that would have to be done on the undercover operation and the raid.
While doing the paperwork Kit looked up from typing and asked Chase, "You want to go pick some dinner up for us?"
Kim walked in at that moment and heard Kit. She said, "I can do it.
You two are working hard."
"I need a break anyway. If you want, you can come with Kim?" Chase
stated.
"Sure, I could go for some food too." Kim said smiling at Chase.
"Why don't you go get your coat and I'll meet you downstairs. Where
do you want to eat, Kit?" Chase asked.
"Something quick." Kit answered.
"I'll bring some back." Kim left the office and Chase stood up
smiling.
Kit said, "You know, if he finds out your even thinking about his
daughter, he'll kill you. Jack doesn't play."
Chase played innocent, "What are you talking about?"
"I know the way you are looking at her, and the way she is looking
at you. Keep it from him as long as you can. You'll thank yourself." Kit answered with a grin.
Chase was a little angry that Kit was giving him this advice and in
his anger he said, "What about you?"
"I'm leaving after this. In this paperwork, is my resignation
papers too." Kit answered staring at Chase knowing if he wanted the life he dreamed about the other day CTU had to go. He could live with it. He loved his job, but not as much as Nina.
"I'm sorry." Chase said feeling bad about letting his temper get to
him.
"You will make a better partner to Jack than I ever could. He and I are too much alike and let our tempers get the best of us. He needs
someone who stays level headed, and you do that usually." Kit said to
Chase. "Now go get some food. I'm starving." Kit added jokingly.
"I'll be back in twenty." Chase said walking out of the office.
The cell phone they had given Kit rang. "Hello?" He said grabbing
the phone out of his pocket quickly.
"Good job. She will be at the hotel we picked you up at." The man
voice said over the phone.
"Can I speak with her?" Kit asked.
The man handed Nina the phone, "Are you okay?" Was the first thing
she asked.
"I'm fine. I'll meet you in a few days. You have my cell phone
number, right?"
"Yeah."
"Call me tomorrow and I'll be better able to give you a time frame
that I will be free from CTU. I have to sign off on a debriefing and
then finish my resignation papers."
"Are you sure about this?"
"Yeah, I made up my mind." Kit said without hesitation. "I'll talk to you tomorrow. I gotta go."
