Jack nodded at her and spoke, "Thanks for coming, Chris."

Sam, who had been staring at the ground almost praying, let out an audible sigh of relief. Then she looked up and got the shock of her life. The resemblance was uncanny. She snuck a glance over at Jack, who didn't seem affected by it. Sam just gaped at Chris.

She whispered to Jack, "She looks just like—"

Jack cut her off, "Shhh."

Jack turned to retrieve his gun, when her voice behind him yelled, "Not so fast, Bauer." He stopped dead in his tracks. "Turn around slowly." Chris was now aiming her gun at Jack, while Gibson's was covering Sam.

Gibson looked over and addressed Chris, "You're late."

She smiled at Gibson, "I know, I hit some traffic. But I wouldn't miss this for the world." She sneered at Jack, "Sorry, Bauer. No offense."

Sam's jaw dropped at Chris. "Are you kidding me? You're involved in this?"

Gibson laughed, "Who do you think recommended her for the job to my old pal, Hammond?"

Jack looked back and forth between his boss and Sam's boss. "Is he mixed up in this too?" Jack questioned Gibson.

Gibson let out a small chuckle, "No, but it would have been easier if he were. Now that guy is a stickler for the rules."

Chris said, "When little Miss Super Agent here started making noise about including Bauer, we knew we had to do something to distract him. I knew I could get him to trust me, and it looks like it worked." She sneered triumphantly at them.

Sam, who had been quietly trying to figure a way out, interrupted, "So what are you going to do with us now?" She snuck a quick glance at Jack, whose face didn't give away anything.

"This would have been so much easier if you had just let Juan and Felipe kill you like they were supposed to. Now, I guess we'll have to do it." Gibson smirked at them like he enjoyed the thought of it.

Chris taunted Jack, "How does it feel knowing that you couldn't protect another woman in your life. Maybe we'll kill her first and let you watch another one die." Jack looked over at Sam and their eyes locked. Chris noticed the look that passed between them and asked, "Uh oh, sleeping with another agent, Jack? I would have thought you learned your lesson with Nina."

Jack replied evenly, "Don't do this Chris, you'll regret it."

Chris laughed, "Even the almighty Jack Bauer can't get out of this one."
