Aharon had a headache as the sun started to rise for yet another day. Nothing was working out right. Bauer had been captured by the police, none of Husam's men followed through with the suicide bombings never getting confirmation to continue from Husam causing them not to follow through with their mission nor was their word of Husam's capture or death. He had one last plan to get back on track and if it didn't work he would have to scrap the mission, kill off all of the loose ends, and go back home defeated until he could do it again.
He smiled as Teddy and Seth brought in the new prisoner. "Have a seat." Aharon said pointing to the chair. He heard a scream come from the room that Rick and his wife now occupied. "Seth please go in there and get him to leave that woman alone for awhile. Tell him I need him for something."
"Yes sir." Seth knocked on the door and opened it. He found Rick holding Kate down and getting ready to hit her again. Kate's face bloody and tears streaming down as she continually apologized. "Rick." Seth said in disgust he never liked watching a man beat a woman.
"What?" He said angry.
"Get your reject ars out here. He has something for you."
"Fu(k you man." Rick said hitting Kate one more time before he left the room. "Stupid b!tch you'll learn to respect me. Just wait till I find your boyfriend." He said slamming the door.
Aharon was on the phone waiting for someone to pick up. As soon as he heard the line click he said, "I have something of yours." He put the phone up to the prisoners air and said, "Talk." The prisoner refused so Teddy jabbed the prisoner hard in the back getting a cry of pain out of the prisoner.
"Now listen carefully before you speak. I want you to get Bauer, his daughter, and the report lady out of CTU. You have twenty minutes if you let CTU know what is going on you now what I will do. Do you understand me?"
"Yes." The voice said almost cracking.
"Good. Now do your job and everything will be fine. I will call back in twenty minutes and you better have them out of there."
"They won't let him leave. They have him on house arrest."
"Find a way."
"He's not going to go willingly knowing something is wrong if I take him, his daughter, and Jesse."
"Too bad you better get him to go along any way possible." Aharon said, "Or you'll get pieces back." He hung the phone up smiling, this was going to work he could feel it.
Michelle walked into her office. She smiled at Jack who sat on the couch working on the laptop. "Jack there isn't a lot of new information there."
"I know I just want to know it all."
"Ok." Michelle said walking out again.
Jack watched her leave and went back to work. He heard her returning a few minute later he didn't bother to look up from the laptop. He heard her working with the glass dimmer so that no one could see in. He just assumed she didn't want people staring at them as they worked. He finally looked up and saw her pointing a gun at him, "What the fu(k?" He said confused.
"Jack please don't make this hard."
"What is wrong Michelle?"
"They have Tony and they want you, Kim, and Jesse in exchange."
"Hell no. I'll go, but Kim nor Jesse are going." Jack said pushing the laptop to the side. "We can work this out Michelle we can find him."
"No we can't Jack." She said aiming and firing. The dart went through the air into Jack's shoulder. Jack felt it enter and Michelle was already over holding his arms before he could pull it out. She had tears in her eyes as she fought him, he was strong at first but she sent her knee into his gun shot wound and he cried out in pain. She was happy the office was sound proof because she knew no one heard him. She could tell the drug was taking over as he slowly lost strength in his struggling. Finally before he passed out she said, "I'm sorry Jack."
Once he was asleep she moved him on the couch as if he had fallen asleep like that on the couch. She pulled the dart out of his shoulder and checked for anything else. Besides her nail marks on his arm he looked as if he had just fallen asleep, with that she walked out of the room. She found Chase at the bottom of her steps getting ready to walk to the top. "Chase can you help me?"
"Sure what do you need help with?"
"Jack fell asleep on the couch in the office. And he's pretty out of it. The pain pills must have finally kicked in. I got permission from Division to move him to my house to let him sleep some before they start with all of the questions and till we can prove he didn't kill Palmer. Can you help me get him to the car?"
"Sure. Let me go tell Kim and get Bob. Jack's pretty damn heavy." Chase joked.
Chase returned with Bob, and Kim a few seconds later. Bob and Chase picked Jack off the couch who looked as if he was dead to the world. Bob joked, "He always this hard of a sleeper?"
"The drugs I tell you know a days." Michelle said feeling a small rush of panic as they noted his clear sound sleeping.
No one paid attention as they moved Jack out of CTU everyone was to busy this time to care what they were doing. Once they got him in the passenger seat and the seat belt on Bob asked, "You want us to come with you and help get him in the house?"
"No. Tony is meeting me there. He can get Jack in. Kim why don't you go get Jesse I'll see if she wants to stay at the house till this is all over since her house is in ruins and not really safe, or I can drop her by a hotel."
"Sure." Kim said going back in with Chase and Bob. Michelle got in the car and put her head against the steering wheel what was she doing. She heard Kim and Jesse approaching and sat up quickly. She called out the window, "Kim why don't you come with. You can be your father's 'watcher' division wanted to assign him an agent so he doesn't try to run, as if he would. You can be the agent. I can get one of the guys to bring by a lab top for you to work off of."
"Sure. Thanks Michelle." Kim said wanting to stay with her father who looked so awful at the moment. Jesse and Kim got into the back seat and Jesse noticed Jack sleeping sound again, like he had earier at her house before she knew who he was, when he was clearly drugged.
She asked from the back, "How is he?"
"He'll live. Poor guy was so exhausted and the pain killers finally kicked in." Michelle said driving out of the CTU parking garage.
Jesse found that funny, pain killers she knew Jack had specifically refused to take any. "He took pain killers?" She asked.
"Yeah while we were interviewing him."
"Oh." Jesse said it was possible and she had only known Jack a few hours, but he seemed like a pretty stubborn guy who wouldn't change his mind that easily.
Michelle's cell phone rang, twenty minutes exactly, "Hello." She said trying to convey that everything was fine to Kim and Jesse in the back.
"Are you out of CTU?"
"We are on our way. "
"Good and I assume everything is fine?"
"Yeah Jack is asleep. Make sure you got the bed ready for him and be ready to carry him. I'm sure he'll be out for a little while longer." Michelle said as if she were talking to Tony.
"Good. I want you to drive to the old drive in movie theater. Park the car and get out. My men will approach the car."
"Ok. I'll see you in ten than." Michelle said. She looked back and the two woman and said, "There is a change of plan. I guess Bob got a lead and he doesn't think it's really a lead, but you know we have to check them out. We have to stop by the old drive in. It's on the way." Michelle said trying to make everything seem normal.
Even Kim was having her doubts now but she didn't say anything because she trusted Michelle. "Ok. Why didn't he just have Chase or someone else follow it up?"
"He didn't want to waste the resources on something so minor.""Yeah that makes sense." Kim said.
Everyone was quiet until they pulled into the old drive in. Michelle got out and kept her hands visible as she stood next to the SUV. She watched as a group of armed men lead by Teddy ran up to the SUV. He smiled at Michelle knowing who she was from his tailing of Tony and Jack before the entire event started.
"Restrain her."
"Where is Tony?" She asked before she allowed them close to her.
"You'll see him. First we need to make sure we get them all to where we need them. Than we'll let you and Tony go."
Kim sat in the back scared. She couldn't believe what she was seeing. She tried to wake her father to get him to do something. Jesse sat in shock and fear as her door opened and one of the arm men pulled her out of the car. They quickly restrained her and she saw them doing the same to Kim.
Teddy had Michelle get into the back of her SUV and he got into the driver seat. Seth, who Michelle had never meant nor knew who he was at the time got in next to her. The armed guards took Kim who was almost crying and Jesse to a van that pulled up. They were loaded up and Teddy got into the driver side of the SUV. He looked over at Jack who was still asleep, "What did you do to him?"
"I shot him with a tranquilizer dart in the shoulder. He'll be waking up in about twenty more minutes." Michelle said looking down ashamed of what she had done.
"Took one of Jack's tricks. I heard that he tranquilized Mason."
"I don't know about that." Michelle lied.
