Chase and Tony had been at the reports house for about ten minutes. They were looking it over.

"I can tell Jack was here." Chase called to Tony who was on the landing looking at the blood stain with nothing to go with it.

"How's that?" Tony asked wondering about the blood stain.

"Because there are a lot of dead bodies, bullet holes, and his shirt." Chase called back.

"Do you know who this blood stains belongs to?" Tony called.

"The one by the ugly guy?" Chase yelled back looking in the bathroom seeing evidence of someone fixing a wound.

"I guess he's ugly. Not my type." Tony called back.

"It's Jack's."

"What Jack was hurt that bad? How do you know?"

"The dog. The pit-bulls name was Jack."

"Oh. How is he do you know?"

"According to the police they took him to the vet, and the vet is fixing him should be as good as new eventually." Chase yelled back.

"That's good. Hate to see animals get hurt. You got anything?"

"Someone was clearly fixing themselves up and someone else clearly didn't like the idea of that."

"What?" Tony said standing in the door way of the bathroom causing Chase to jump.

"Don't sneak up on me like that." Chase said.

"And you were in field op's no wonder why Jack made sure to get rid of you so soon."

"HA HA funny. Look." Chase said holding up the medical scissors with blood on them.

"Bag it have it tested. But I'm thinking Jack took a feisty one hostage this time."

"This time?" Chase asked not knowing all the details of the day of the Presidental primary.

"Yeah this time. Jack took a woman hostage last time the police were after him. But she wasn't as feisty I'm guessing." Tony said looking in the sink where there was some dried blood. "So I'm thinking they must of hit Jack when he went over the wall. That would explain the blood on the wall."

"Yeah. And it looks like he might have picked up some debri on the way down." Chase said holding up the stick with blood on it. "Does he ever go a day without getting himself shot at, stabbed, or even hurt?"

"No I remember him getting at least one paper cut a day when he wasn't in the field." Tony joked.

"I think he enjoys it."

"Probably. Shows how tough he is." Tony said joking.

"What now?"

"I say we get all this stuff run figure out what was in the syringe and start looking for Jack and the girl before the others find him."

"Good idea. I wonder why I never thought of that?" Chase said clearly expecting more of a plan out of Tony.

"Because your young and stupid. Did you really try running of and getting some while there was a crisis earlier today?"

"No, Me never. I'd never sleep with Jack's daughter unless we were married."

"Chase has anyone ever told you that you are so full of sh!t that your eyes are brown."

"Just don't tell Jack. Come on Tony that's so not cool. You try dating his daughter."

"I never would I'm not suicidal like you."

Jesse returned to the room the she left Jack in. He was on the bed in just his boxers still. "What now?" He asked.

"Tell me the story. Who was that guy at my house? He knew you and you knew him."

"That was Seth Campbell. A few years back I worked for CTU I was the director at the time. I did an operation to get a few agents who were taking kick backs. He was one of them." Jack said flatly leaving out the presidential primary and what he found out about the mans wife that day.

"And?"

"And what?" Jack said not knowing what she wanted or not willing to tell her.

"And that is why he's after you?"

"No. I assume he's working for the man behind all of the attacks today."

"Which is?"

"I don't know." Jack lied, she didn't need to know anything.

"Ok. Than how do you know he's not the one behind them?"

"Seth never was much of a planner, and he wouldn't have enough standing to do something like this. Someone was picking up the bill and it wasn't him."

"Fine. What drug where you high on earlier?"

Jack was taken back by her question, "Heroin and something else."

"What was the something else?" Jesse said assuming Jack had been the one to insert the drug into his system.

"I don't know. Teddy and Seth along with a man named Husam, who I assume is dead now, drugged me at Palmers house."

She went round and round question after question until she understood that Jack had been helping a friend out earlier that day, than got called into CTU, and by the time they meant up someone killed Palmer with Jack's gun, his friend was still captive of her abusive husband, and Jack was a felon.

Allen walked into the room and said, "Dinner is ready."

Jesse smiled at him and got up. Allen looked at Jack not sure what she was going to do with him. "Come on Jack." She said walking over to help him out of the bed.

"Can I get my pants back?" He asked uncomfortable walking around in his boxers.

"I told you they were ruined." She said looking at him, making him even more uncomfortable as she and her clearly homosexual friend where checking him out.

Jack noticed Allen's smile and he couldn't help but say, "Not bad for an old man felon."

Allen busted out laughing at Jack's comment and said, "You aren't that old. Sh!t your younger than me I bet. And your not my type to rugged."

"Darn you broke my heart." Jack quipped back. "And I'm old you have to think in agent years." Jack joked.

"Agent huh. So you really were a spook?"

"I guess that's what they call them now a days."

"Who killed Kennedy?"

"If I told you I'd have to kill you." Jack joked.

"I'll get you some pants. They'll be to big but hey somethings better than nothing. Plus walking around in your boxer shorts is distracting the female company." Allen said nudging Jesse as he walked out of the room.

"Don't encourage him." Jesse said to Jack smiling.

"Me never." Jack said smiling and trying to look innocent.

Allen returned with a pair of black jeans he handed them to Jack who looked at Jesse, "Can I get my hands freed for this?"

"No you can put your pants on cuffed." She said, "You're a CIA agent I'm sure it wouldn't be the first time."

Jack smiled at her and sat on the bed struggling to put the pants on. When he finally had them he stood up and buttoned them and zipped them with a slight struggle. He followed Allen downstairs into the dining room.

Allen already had the table set and the food sitting on the table. He dished out the pasta to everyone and went to get the bread out of the oven. He set in on the table and everyone began to eat.

Jack couldn't remember the last time he ate, but he was sure he was long over do. He ate quickly but not so quick as to be rude.

Jesse laughed when she looked over at Jack, "You want some more?"

"Please." Jack answered struggling to get the last bit off the plate with his cuffed hands.

She pushed some more on his plate and watched as he struggled to eat with the cuffs on. She started to play with her own food no longer hungry as she thought of what to do she had to choose soon, this was just getting ridicules.

She got up and walked over to Jack. "Let me see your hands." She said.

Jack held his hands out confused. She took the key to the cuffs and unlocked them. "There." She said going back to her chair.

"Thank you." Jack said finishing of the last of his food. He helped clear the table and he and Jesse did the dishes while Allen went to find a shirt for Jack.

Jesse was using the spray house to rinse of the plates while Jack stood next to her drying of the dishes. She turned the house and sprayed him with the water.

Jack jumped back keeping the plate and towel in his hand, "What did you do that for?"

"I felt like it." She smiled at him.

"Oh did you?" He said sticking his hand in the sink and splashing water on her.

Allen walked in at that time and said, "Hey you two this isn't a water park. Your getting water all over my floor."

"Sorry." Jesse said laughing uncontrollably.

"Here is a nice shirt old shirt. I have a feeling whatever I give you I'll get back with blood, so just keep it."

"Thanks Allen." Jack said taking the shirt from him. Jack put it on and buttoned it up.

"What now?" Jesse asked looking at Jack.

"What time is it?"

"Nine." Allen said.

"Well if your going to let me leave I'm going to go back to the cabin I was at earlier and see if I can't find Kate. Than who know's. Maybe I'll find something up there to help me."

"I'm gong with you." Jesse said.

"No your not." Jack said flatly.

"Oh and your going to walk there? I'm not letting you take my car."

"Jesse you don't know what you are getting into. I won't be able to protect you."

"I don't need you to protect me Jack. Plus the cops are looking for you. You need someone to drive to help when you have to duck from a police car. Otherwise you won't make it that far."

"I'll call my contact at CTU then." Jack said thinking about calling Chase.

"And get them into trouble?"

"I'll have to call them sometime to get help." Jack said letting his anger flare a little.

"I'm going or I'll call the cops now." She said showing she was going to stand her ground.

Jack knew he didn't have time to play these games. They had something big planned, and he couldn't let that happen plus he had to find Kate before they killed her. "Fine." He said clinching his jaw shut in an angry defeat.

"Good let's go." She said pointing towards the door.

"Can I get the gun?" He said holding his hand out.

"Later grasshopper." She said pointing at the door not willing to give the gun up just yet.

Jack walked towards the door and out to the car. Allen followed them, Jack thanked him again for the hospitably.

"Take care of her for me Jack. You don't want to see what will happen to you if she gets hurt."

"I will." Jack said in the passenger seat of the car.

"Thank you." Jesse said kissing Allen on the cheek and getting into the driver side.

"Where too?"

"Where are we?" Jack asked.

"About twenty miles from the mountains."

"Drive towards there. The cabin and a view of the mountains."

"Fine. Any other directions."

"I'll remember once we get there." Jack answered.
