"It does exists and he was there. They broke him." The voice said.

"How do you know?"

"I spoke with someone that works there." The voice said not wanting to give their source away.

"Do you know what information he gave away?" Nina said knowing she wouldn't get the source of the information out of the person.

"I'm not sure on that. I couldn't get it without raising some suspicion. I'm sure whatever he knew they now know." The voice answered.

"Ok Thanks." Nina hung the phone up and walked back into the room where Jack lay passed out. She looked at him not sure what to do. Usually it was simple kill him, he divulged information he never should have, but looking at him so defenseless and lost she couldn't bring herself to do it. She had made him that way, or at least she helped. She sat on the bed next to him waiting for him to wake up, she mulled over what she would do while she waited.

Jack felt himself becoming conscious, he also felt the bed sag a little as there was someone sitting on the edge he opened his eyes and saw Nina. He looked at her angrily. He noticed she looked down her eye full of sorrow. "I know where you were now. I had some sources check it out. What are you doing back Jack?" Nina asked the pain she felt in her voice.

"It was part of the deal. I was suppose to go back and get whatever information they needed."

"And?" She said upset by his betrayal even if she had done worse.

"Nothing. I didn't know what to do so I just came back. I wasn't sure what. That was what I was talking about earlier. They broke me Nina, just like you did. And I didn't know what to do. There are two people inside me and neither is Jack Bauer. Good I sound like a schizophrenic. One of them is the good guy the other the bad and neither has won yet." He looked away his eyes now full of emotional pain. "What are you going to do?" He asked.

"I don't know yet. They'll find out they always do. I guess we can deal with it than." She said looking down at him. "How are you feeling?"

"Besides the drug blocking out all the pain you caused earlier, just jim dandy." He said sarcastically.

"What was it like?"

Jack looked away not wanting to talk about it. "It wasn't fun I can tell you that. I tried to kill myself at one point, but they stopped me, and after that everything is very hazy. I just remember lying on the ground my hands behind my back and I was defenseless to even attempt blocking the endless blows. Before at least I could use my arms, but than I couldn't. I just lay there and I held out for a long as I could. Everyone has a breaking point, and it seems everyone knows how to get to mine now." Jack said bitterly.

The next few days Jack spent alone in the bedroom. Nina went to another room after that night unsure of what to do. She had Steven watching Jack for her, she knew there was no way he could escape he was lucky he could walk most the time let along swim the hundreds of miles to shore. She checked on him every day bringing food and drink to him. Once or twice they went on the deck together and looked out to the water. He was not a prisoner in his room, but he didn't want to leave either.

When they got over into Mexican territory Nina came in and told Jack. They would be in a house in about two hours she said to him. Jack just shook his head unsure of what to feel. He didn't know if he was waiting for his death or just waiting. When they reached shore the drive was very short from the pier. They walked into the house and were alone as James and Steven were staying in the house next door. There was only one bedroom and Nina had offered to sleep on the couch but Jack said it was fine.

Jack worked in the kitchen cooking a meal as she was outside on the phone with her people. They had found out and were discussing what to do next with Jack. She looked in occasionally to see him stirring the can of tamales. She wasn't going to tell him what was going on he didn't need to know. She got off the phone and went inside. "Go sit down Jack I'll finish." She said gently pushing him away. Jack sat at the diner table and waited for her to bring the food. They ate in silence. Neither wanting to talk to the other.

Jack excused himself, he cleaned his plate off and went to get into a shower. He was washing his hair with his one good arm when he heard Nina enter the bathroom. He thought this might be the end but was surprised when she got into the shower with him. He tried to avoid staring at her body, but he couldn't help it, she had a nice body she always had. She walked up to him and gently kissed him on the back of his good shoulder. She grabbed his arm and gently pulled on it to turn him around. He glanced into her eyes and saw the old Nina he knew in her.

Nina kissed him on the lips. She moved over to his ear lobe, she kissed it gently and than grabbed it in her teeth and bit it gently. A moan escaped Jack, he had always enjoyed when she did that. She moved up against him gently as to not hurt him. She felt him enter her and she felt the old craving of having him in her slowly leave her. She missed him all those years after they split. He always knew what she needed and wanted and he had never once did not satisfied her needs. When they finished in the shower they moved into the bed room. He fell to the bed with her on top of him, he cried out in pain and than continued on. They were about ready to go again when men in black came rushing into the room. Their guns pointed at the two entangled in each other.

One of the men ordered, "Get off the bed now."

Nina and Jack complied neither knew which side of the law the men came from.

The man ordered again, "Clothes where are they?"

Nina pointed to the bag on the ground she had bought them clothes at a store earlier that day.

One of the commando's went through the bag finding nothing suspicious. He threw the clothes on the bed for them.

"Get dressed."

Jack and Nina grabbed their clothes and began to dress. Jack grimaced in pain as he was quickly trying to dress. He got his pants on and noticed that Nina had bought him a T-shirt that he knew he couldn't put on without hurting himself further. He left it on the bed. The commando in charge knew very well why and did not bother with it.

"Both of you turn around."

They listened Jack heard a man approaching he saw through the mirror in the wall the man had holstered his weapon and was pulling cuffs out. The man with the cuffs behind Jack ordered, "Put your hands behind you back palms facing up."

"I can't." Jack answered knowing how much pain it would cause.

This made the commando angry. He yanked Jack's bad arm behind his back. Jack screamed out in pain, the pain causing his legs to buckle he fell to the ground. The commando kept hold of his arm as he went down and Jack screamed out in a ear drum busting scream as his bad arm was pulled up behind his back in the air. Tears were in Jack's eyes almost falling out as he sat on the ground trying to clinch his teeth and block out the pain. The commando kneeled down and pulled Jack's other arm. He looked back and said, "I'll need the plastic ones he has a cast on his arm."

One of the men handed the man a pair of plastic cuffs he slipped onto Jack's wrists. When he finished he pulled Jack up from the ground getting another scream of pain out of Jack as he pulled up on Jack's arms.

Nina was on the other side of the room restrained unable to help him. She screamed to the men, "Stop it he has a broken collar bone."

"I know." The leader of the group said. "Get them out to the vans."
