When Chase got to the point he could see Jack he saw blood all over Jack's face. He felt his knees go weak and he kneeled down, "Sh!t. No!" He said Tony saw Chase's face and knew what had happened. He walked over and knelt down by Jack feeling for a pulse.
(CAN U GET IM TRYING TO BE REALLY MEAN HERE)
"Michelle I have satellite coverage of the area for a few minutes. It's a secluded house in the mountains. By the looks of it there is one car parked out front. I'm trying to zoom in on the licenses plate."
"I got it Kim" Chloe called as she typed on the keyboard. "It's Chase and Tony's car."
"Good they are there. I'm trying to call them now but they turned their cell phones off."
He felt the finger tips on his neck and opened his eyes. When Husam took him down immense pain shot through his body as he landed on his gunshot wound. Jack was so overtaken by the pain that he didn't hear Chase next to him.
Tony almost jumped when Jack's eyes opened.
"The room behind me there is a woman can you let her out. She might need help." Jack said.
"JACK you fu(king arshole." Chase yelled at him hitting him lightly in the chest causing Jack to flinch in pain.
Tony opened the door to the room and saw the woman curled up on the floor crying. He walked in and said, "Ma'am I'm agent Almeida I'm here to help you."
Jesse looked up at the man and asked, "Did he kill Jack?"
"No ma'am." Tony smiled at her. "Come on you can see him he's outside. We got to go now though."
The agent helped her off the ground and practically carried her out to the other room. She saw Jack lying on the ground a felt something, pain she thought he was hurt worse. There was blood all over his face, more than just the blood he had when he left her in the room.
Jack sat up with the help of Chase. Chase helped him to his feet and held him up as he was in pain. "Chase you idiot you could have gotten me you never were a good shot, I so thought my life was over."
"Hey just be happy you got his brains on you. I should kill you now for doing that to us." Chase said.
"Guys I hate to break the reunion up but we got to get Jack out of here before the police come." Tony said helping Jesse to the stairway.
"To late." A police officer from the top of the stairs said. "Everyone put your hands where I can see them."
Chase let go of Jack who used a table to lean against. Jesse stood next to Tony with her hands up in the air.
"You too Bauer."
"Jack raised his hands and clinched his eyes shut as he had to put his weight on both legs, and the gunshot wound, and hurt leg screaming at him as the frayed nerves couldn't or wouldn't take anymore.
The police officer along with two others started to come down the steps.
Tony said, "I'm with CTU. We can take control of this situation now."
"NO you can't." The cop said glaring at him. "Where is your identification?"
"In my pocket." Tony said not moving his hands.
"We'll deal with that later."
"Well these two need medical attention." Tony said looking at Jesse and Jack.
"We will deal with that later." The cop said motioning for Tony to turn around and face the wall. He quickly cuffed Tony, while the others cuffed Chase and Jack. The one cuffing Jack smiled at him as he made Jack walk over against the wall. He did a quick search of Jack and when he got to the area on the suspects abdomen that he saw blood coming from he pushed down hard. Jack screeched to pain and fell to the floor gasping as he felt an immeasurable amount of pain.
"Opp's." The police officer said. He reached down and pulled Jack back up. Jack glared at him, but said nothing as to not give him more reason to hurt him.
"Jimbo you and Stewart take the two guys here that say they are from CTU and I'll take the trouble maker and the hostage."
"But sir shouldn't we separate the hostage from him. She's probably traumatized enough by this monster."
"He's not a monster. He never once hurt me. And I was not really a hostage." Jesse said in Jack's defense.
"Oh so you were aiding him?"
"Not exactly."
"Than what exactly were you doing?"
Jesse just glared at him not answering him.
"Either way these two are going with me, and you can take those two." The police officer said.
Stewart went up the stairs first and stood at the top and watched as Jack, Tony, Chase, and the rest walked up the stairs. Jack thought something was wrong because of the way they were separating them, but there wasn't much he could do about it.
The cop at the top of the stairs smiled at Jack and stopped him before he walked outside by grabbing his shoulder, Jack closed his eyes as he felt the mans hand on the wound Jesse gave him. "I heard you beat up the chief of police son's earlier."
"He was beating his wife." Jack said angrily.
"Oh sure he was." Stewart said walking out behind Jack.
The men walked their suspects out to their respective cars. Jack was helped into the back seat, and Jesse sat in the front with the unknown police officer. They drove in silence Jesse not wanting to make things worse of anyone sat quietly looking back at Jack in the rearview mirror trying to figure out if he was ok. She knew he had been bleeding and he still had blood all over his face and shirt, not all of it his. She smiled at him, and he tempted a smile back though he really had nothing to be happy for.
When they reached the police station the cop got out and let Jack out. He escorted Jack inside who was visibly limping and visibly in pain. The police sergeant was already waiting for Jack when he walked in. They finger printed him and did all of the processing stuff before they took him allowed him to be transferred over to the hospital for treatment.
Jack wondered where Jesse was they had taken her away as soon as they got to the police station. He saw her again as they were transporting the two of them to the hospital together. She was in the front seat again and another police officer, Jack assumed a rookie, who introduced himself as Jed drove them to the hospital with Stewart the police officer from earlier in the back seat with Jack.
Jed started to speak, "I don't understand you Bauer. You worked for the government for so many years. Man you were a legend after the Primary's a few years ago, and look at you now. How does someone get that low and change that much?"
Jack didn't answer he just stared out he window wondering how long it would take for them to figure out he wasn't the one behind it all. When they reached the hospital again Jack was escorted in handcuffed into a examination room, if he hadn't been in so much pain or trouble he might have thought, 'This is the way to go. Get yourself arrested every time you need medical assistance so you can skip the line.'
The doctor came in a few minutes later. Stewart kept Jack company the entire time glaring at the man. Jack stared at the wall not really caring what Stewart felt or thought about him.
The doctor did a quick look over of Jack and ordered, "I need him uncuffed so he can wash his face. I can't tell what's his blood and what's someone else's."
Stewart walked over and reluctantly uncuffed Jack. The doctor watched as Jack limped over in pain to the sink and washed his face quickly getting most of the blood off. When he went back to the examination table he almost stumbled to the ground as he felt a wave of dizziness some on. The doctor grabbed him in time and just smiled at the man not knowing what the man was accused of.
He helped Jack back onto the bed and Stewart walked over cuffing one of Jack's hands to the rail of the bed. The doctor frown disapprovingly clearly the man was not going to be able to get out of there on his own with the damage done.
He cut the shirt off Jack as most of it was already covered in blood and stuck to his body as the blood had dried on it. He looked at the wound on Jack's shoulder and asked, "What caused that it's a pretty clean cut?"
Jack smiled at him, "Medical Scissors."
"Yeah that would do it. It'll take a few stitches." He than pulled the blood soaked gauze off the gun shot wound. He looked at it and frowned, "I'm not even going to ask how this got so messed up. It started off as a not so bad wound and now it's pretty festered. Looks like you've been hitting it repeatedly." The doctor said looking at Jack who conveyed know emotion, the doctor was sure police had done most of the newer damage. The doctor was interrupted by a nurse who came in the room. He left the room and came back a few minutes later. "Seems CTU called and they need a blood sample. Michelle Almeida said you would probably consent to one."
"Yeah." Jack said.
"Ok this will only take a minute than I'm going to give you a sedative to help you some while I go to work on everything. You took a pretty good beating today. I still need to get x-rays of your ribs and other areas with possible broken bones, and probably do a CT scan of your head seen as you took a few hits there today. Than I'll sew you up and send you on your way." The doctor outlined the daunting task ahead of him.
After about an hour of work the doctor was finished with Jack. He gave the man a scrub shirt to wear back to the jail. Jack was out of it because of the sedative the doctor gave him and later the pain killers. Jack was escorted out by Stewart who wheeled the wheelchair that Jack sat in. The rookie who had waited in the waiting room for Jesse to finish helped Jack into the back and sat with the man this time. Jesse joined them a little later and they all drove back to the station.
Jesse noticed the glazed look in Jack's eyes again, and she felt better that he finally had gotten medical attention. She was escorted to a room where she would give her statement as to what happened and be questioned.
Jack was escorted to another room, but after one look at the man the detective decided to wait a while for the drugs to wear off. He had Jack transferred to a solitary cell. He knew there was a major threat out on the man's life and had been contacted by CTU and told that Bauer was not suppose to be hurt in any way shape or form. They were working the cause also both groups having joint jurisdiction as it was both a terrorism and local matter.
Jack slept for an hour before he heard the door open to the cell. He sat up slowly the drugs not completely warn off, but he was able to function better. He noticed the two guards at the door, one ordered, "Get up!"
Jack used the bed to push himself to a standing position. He was surprised to see the chief of police he had never actually meant walk in.
The police chief glared at Jack and said, "I heard you kicked my son's ars earlier today."
"He was beating his wife and trying to kill me."
"It was none of your business son what he was doing with his wife. If I remember correctly you are her junky ex? They kicked you out of CTU because your death toll was so high and you turned into a junkie getting a lot of people killed last year, and if I'm not mistake you got your wife killed by your mistress who you killed in cold blood last year."
Jack glared at him, if he thought he could Jack would have ripped his throat out.
"That would be you." He said looking at the man challenging him. "What makes you think you have any right to go back into Kate's life?"
"I was only helping a friend."
The police chief walked up to Jack he had been warned where not to hit the man. He grabbed the mans throat and began to squeeze the breath out of Jack, "I don't care who you were helping son. You never should have laid a finger on my son. You broke his arm. I should break your arm." He let go of Jack's throat.
Jack put his hand against the wall to steady himself. Lack of oxygen and anger rushing to his head.
The chief smiled at Jack and hit him in the ribs on the opposite side the gun shot wound was on. He knew Jack had broken ribs and smiled as he saw the man drop to the ground crying out in pain. He kicked Jack in the back a few times and than left him.
Jack lay on the ground for what seemed like forever. Before he even got up the cell door opened again. The rookie walked in and said, "Time to get up seems someone pulled some strings for you. You are getting transferred to CTU."
The rookie helped Jack off the ground knowing what the chief had done. He helped Jack outside and than turned him over to the agent who came to pick Jack up. Jack hadn't noticed the man, but that meant nothing anymore sense most of the CTU agents were new. He was surprised to see Jesse joining him. He asked the agent, "Why is she coming shouldn't she be let go?"
"I don't know sir. I was just given my orders." The agent replied to Jack.
