Michelle watched the road and Jack as they were driven to an unknown location. Seth kept an eye on her sure she was going to try anything at any moment. He watched Jack closely he thought maybe this all had been a trick somehow, but there was nothing happening yet.
They reached the compound and were meant by more men. Rick being one of them, Michelle had known him from the wedding her and Tony had attended. She instantly wanted to attack him, but didn't. She watched at the men pulled Jack out of the SUV and carried him into the compound that looked like a run down factory of some sorts. Michelle was led in by Seth who held on to her. She heard Kim and Jesse behind her both of them asking what was going on and where they were.
When they entered a larger room Michelle almost gasped as she saw Tony sitting in a chair clearly beaten. She wanted to run over to him but Seth held her arm tightly. He pushed her through the room into the small room off that room. Inside Kate lay curled up in the corner crying. Michelle's heart broke as soon as they opened the door and she saw how beaten Kate was. They pushed her, Kim, and Jesse inside the room closing the door.
The men carrying Jack placed him in a chair next to Tony.
Aharon eyed Jack suspiciously and asked, "What happened?"
Teddy smiled and said, "Michelle shot him with a tranquilizer dart. She said he'd be out for about ten more minutes."
"He wasn't harmed in any way nor were they correct?"
"Yes sir." Seth said wishing he'd just let him kill Jack already.
"Good restrain him to the chair." Aharon ordered.
Seth quickly cuffed Jack's arms to the chair arms using two pairs of plastic cuffs and making them as tight as possible. He than grabbed Jack's legs and pulled them back so that he could secure them to the legs of the chair. When he was finished he was sure there was no way Jack was going to get out. Tony watched in horror he knew neither he nor Jack could get them out of this. He hoped Michelle had thought of something to help them otherwise they would all die in the factory and be found once some bum came for shelter in the winter.
Michelle stood by the door when Rick came in she asked, "I thought you were going to let Tony and I go?"
"Nope lady." He said walking past her to Kim. "You must be Kim Bauer. You are better looking than Kate had said." He said looking at her in ways that made Kim shiver inside. He grabbed her and pulled her out of the room.
Michelle tried to protest but was only pushed back by another guard who had entered the room. "You'll have your turn."
Kate sat up once they were gone and said, "What's going on? What are you doing here?"
Michelle looked away to guilty to explain. "We are getting out of here somehow." S he said try to reassure her.
Jack slowly came around the drug wearing off. He opened his eyes and blinked a few times he noticed Aharon standing over him. He looked around the room and saw Tony in the chair next to him.
Aharon waited for the man to take in his surroundings before he began to speak, "Jack if you would have just played along none of us would have to be here. But you had to get yourself caught by the police."
"I thought that's what you wanted. I mean you left me drugged beyond belief at Palmers house. You possibly didn't think I'd escape that?"
"Oh yes I did Jack. I know you are a very capable man." Aharon smiled.
Jack felt stupid for playing along with his game so easily. "What now?"
"Well I need some information about what CTU now knows."
"Nothing. I didn't get to tell them anything."
"Jack don't lie to me. I get mad when people yell at me." Aharon smiled at Jack who turned his head as he heard a door opened behind him. He saw Rick pulling Kim out of a room.
"What are you doing?" Jack asked clearly angry.
"Don't worry Jack as long as you play along Kim won't get hurt to much."
"You hurt her I'll kill you." Jack said his anger boiling over.
Aharon walked up to Jack and pushed in on his rib cage. Jack cringed in pain, "Jack I don't think you can do anything to me in that shape. You make false threats. First how are you going to get out of that chair, than how are you going to over power all of my men, than me, and kill us all? By yourself, not going to happen so just play along for everyone's sake."
Jack glared at him wanting to rip his beating heart out of his chest and cramming it back down his throat.
"What did you tell CTU Jack?"
"Nothing I didn't have time." He said looking at Kim who was in front of him now. Teddy holding her there. Aharon was going to let Seth be the one to hit her, but Seth refused to hit a woman so Rick took said he would without trouble, they all knew he had no problem.
Rick punched Kim hard in the face who cried out in pain. Jack fought frantically against the restraints in the chair. "I'm going to kill you."
"Not what I was looking for Jack." Aharon said.
Rick hit Kim in the face again and than in the stomach. He smiled at Jack as he Teddy pulled Kim back up to a standing position. Blood running down her face. Jack was still fighting the restraints.
Michelle sat in the room, horror over running her as she heard Kim scream out in pain more than once.
"Jack?" Aharon said looking at him raising his eyebrows.
"I told them your name. Husam is dead."
"I know that. They know my name anything else?"
"I don't know anything else."
"Any theories?"
"No." Jack said still fighting against the restraints.
Aharon looked at Rick who hit Kim two more time. Teddy let her drop to the floor and Rick kicked her repeatedly.
Jack screamed out finally, "I told them of my theory that everything was connected and you were behind it. But I didn't know how. Something about Kate finding something this morning but I didn't know what it was." Jack said his face flushed red with anger his heart racing as he fought the restraints in vain.
Rick had stopped kicking Kim once Jack screamed out.
"Now Jack that wasn't hard was it?" He asked looking at the man who glared. "Move them all back to the room we have work to do and we might need them all again."
Teddy placed the barrel of his gun to Kim's head so that Jack would not fight them when the cut him free from the chair. Jack and Tony where taken to the room, all the while Teddy had his gun placed against Kim's head. They pushed the two men in and everyone else in the room to walk to the far wall. Jack stood against the wall looking at Rick, his eyes conveying that Rick was already a dead man. Rick smiled at him and said, "Maybe Aharon will let me get some of your sweet daughter later. I'm tired of Kate already three times today was enough."
Jack couldn't help it his rage took over him and he rushed over to Rick, Jack was stopped in his tracks when he heard the gun go off. Jack almost lunged at Teddy who stood behind Rick until he saw Kim just crying no damage done. Teddy had shot the gun into the floor to stop Jack. Rick smiled at Jack and threw a hard right hook that connected with Jack's jaw sending Jack stunned into the door frame. Rick hit him in the stomach while he was still stunned and Jack fell to the ground groaning in pain grabbing his gun shot wound. Teddy pushed Kim into the room and moved Jack in farther. He closed the door as he left the room.
Michelle looked at Kim in horror. She had not expected them to hurt her. "I'm so sorry." Michelle said sitting on the floor. She looked at Jack and saw rage in his eyes.
"Don't even." Jack said clinching his teeth in anger.
"Jack don't go there." Tony said walking towards Jack. He knew what Michelle did was wrong, but he had done the same as had Jack. "Don't forget that you tried to. . ." Tony stopped there. Nina was a mole, Jack didn't know at the time, but it wasn't worth bringing up.
Jack pushed himself to a standing position through the pain. He walked to Kim and asked her, "Are you ok?"
"Yeah see it's already stopped bleeding." Kim said wiping the tears from her face.
"Ok honey. I'll get us out of here."
"I know you will." She said hugging him making sure not to push to tight against him because of his wounds.
Jack looked over to Kate and his heart ached seeing her like that. It ached for a friend not a lover though. Someone he loved, but was no in love with. "I'm sorry Kate." Jack said kneeling next to her.
"It's not your fault Jack. And by the looks of it your much worse off than me. I heard what they did."
"Don't worry." He said smiling at her.
Jack looked around the room and saw Jesse studying him talking to Kate. "Never thought you'd have to do this much work for a story?" He joked.
"Yeah. This is going above and beyond the call of duty. Getting kidnapped twice today, shot at, almost killed, and than turning to help one of the people that kidnapped me."
"Just one fun filled day when you're around Jack." Tony joked.
"Is every day like this Bauer?"
"No just the really bad ones." Jack said studying the room to find a way out. Jack glared when Michelle came next to him. He was angry with her, and he wasn't going to deal with her nor let his anger take over. He went and sat next to Kim looking at her. She lay her head on his shoulder sand said, "I'm so tired. I've never been this tired before in my life."
"Go ahead and sleep honey." Jack said stretching his legs out. She lay her head on his leg and closed her eyes tired and scared. He gently ran his hand through her hair kissing her head gently as she fell asleep.
"Any idea's Jack?" Tony asked sitting down finally.
"No." Jack answered. "Any idea where we are?"
"Nope."
Michelle smiled, "Oh don't worry guys."
"Oh that's reassuring coming from you. You kidnapped us, and brought us all here what you have an escape plan?" Jack asked angry.
"Yeah I do." Michelle smiled. "I'm not as stupid as you think Jack. Other people are very capable of fixing huge mess's as much as you are." She answered matching his anger.
"Hey. I just thought of something funny." Tony said trying to break the tension in the room. He didn't want to fight Jack, he knew he would have to fight dirty as Jack had the heart of a lion and would not quit fighting until Tony was out of the way. "Is anyone going to ask what it is?"
"NO!" Jack and Michelle yelled in unison.
"Well I'm going to tell you anyways. You tranquilized him right, just like he did with Mason. What comes around does go around. If George were here know he'd be laughing saying, I knew she was just like Jack."
Both Michelle and Jack glared at Tony not seeing the humor in his comments.
Brad Hammond walking into CTU ready to debrief Bauer again. He found Bob Cooley in the bull pen and asked, "Where is Jack?"
Bob looked at Bob thinking maybe he did hear, "Division gave Michelle the go ahead to take him to her house. He was out cold on her couch."
"NO we didn't. Where is Michelle?"
"She's still taking him home I guess and probably picking Tony up from the jail."
"Alemida was let go hours ago. About a half hour after Chase. Who else left with her?"
"Um Kim went to work and be her fathers keeper, and she took Jesse Storm since we were finished with her."
"And you find not of this to be funny?"
"No. Why should I?" Bob asked confused Michelle wouldn't lie to him.
"Find them now. Call her house if they don't answer send someone there."
Chloe walked out of her office and said, "Hey Mr. Cooley do you have any trackers active?"
"NO why?"
"Because one was just activated and came up on my screen I thought it was you."
"NO. Chloe look through Michelle's call logs and tell me if you see any weird stuff please."
"She's not going to be happy I was snooping through the logs."
"Just do it." Bob said feeling something wasn't right. "Let me know about the tracker too. Send it to my screen."
"Yes sir." Chloe went to her office working through Michelle's call logs. After about ten minutes she found the tapped record conversation and sent it over to Bob's screen and ran to his office. Someone had Tony and Michelle was making a trade for him.
"God Damn it. I'm going to kill them both." Bob said.
"Uh I don't think Jack would have went willingly with Kim."
"Yeah. He was really asleep." He thought about something he had seen Michelle do she went into the tactical room, somewhere she really didn't need to be, but he was suspicious it was Michelle after all. He ran down there and looked through it quickly and found what he was looking for a tranquilizer gun was missing and one of the trackers. "Chloe where is that tracker at?"
"An abandoned factory outside of town sir."
"Call in the teams. That's where they are. Chase!" He yelled not knowing where the agent was.
"Yeah." Chase said not knowing what was going on.
"Let's go. Gear up."
"I'm not field op's."
"You can stay around if you want while we go rescue your girlfriend and the others but I figured you'd want to come along."
"What?" Chase said confused he went with Bob to get ready and Bob filled him in on all that had happened.
