Jack got up after they left, he felt his anger overtaking him and he couldn't think straight. They got him again, and he couldn't do anything about it, he couldn't win no matter how hard he played the game because they always played dirty. He walked into his bedroom and found a running outfit and set off for a run.

While running he was thinking about what Alberta had said about Zoey. Who was she really? His thoughts were abruptly interrupted when he heard someone calling from behind him he looked back and saw Zoey closing in on him. He smiled at her and slowed down to let her catch up.

When she caught up she said, "You're up early."

"Got a visit." He said running and looking at her trying to gage if she already knew it. Her face conveyed nothing.

"By who?" She asked noticing he was studying her closely she almost felt like he was able to read her thoughts at that moment.

"Some people."

Zoey shook her head Alberta must have dropped clues about her, and he was now trying to gauge who she was, well she was better at the game than he thought, "Who are some people?"

"No one important. Mission got changed." Jack said he expected she already knew, but her face conveyed nothing but what it should.

"Fine don't tell me. The mission got changed did you tell Dan?" She knew what he was doing.

"No they did." Jack said increasing his speed some for the final stretch towards his house.

Zoey took it as a challenged and increased her speed so she was ahead of him and for the last half a mile it was a constant race of who could be the fastest. When they reached the house Zoey was barely ahead of Jack. Jack was exhausted from the run and out of breath when he reached the door Zoey smiled at him.

Jack pushed past her walking inside grabbing a glass of water. She followed him inside and he offered her a glass which she took and drank the cold water. She stared at him he had a wife beater on, and shorts, and she though he had looked almost edible in it. She couldn't help but stare at the tattoos too.

Jack noticed her looking at him and he blushed. "I better get moving we have lunch in an hour." He said walking towards the bedroom.

"Jack." Zoey called out to him.

"Yeah" He said turning around.

"Thanks for the run." She smiled and walked away she wanted more but she couldn't god only knew how many ethics it would break.

Jack walked into the officers club in a pair of khakis and a black long sleeve shirt. He found Chase, Alberta, and Zoey sitting at a table all of them laughing. His paranoid mind thought they were laughing about how easy it had to implant Zoey, who he was now sure worked for CTU or something like that and had been spying on him since he left CTU.

"Hey Jack." Zoey said smiling. "I ordered you a Budweiser."

"Thanks." Jack said sitting down in the empty spot where the Budweiser sat. He took a quick gulp he'd need more to make it through the meeting civilly.

Alberta waited for the waiter to finish taking their orders and than she started with the briefing, "As you both have been informed the team you were going to train was killed yesterday. We believe someone leaked the information of their existence and where they were."

Jack interrupted, "So you want us to go over and find out who?"

"Sort of." Alberta said nastily she hated how he interrupted her. "What we want is for you to find the person, but there is also a rumor of a group that is helping the old Drazen men out. Zoey is going to infiltrate them as an MP." Jack went to protest but was cut off by Alberta, "You are going to be yourself and you can't do it because your name proceeds you everyone knows who you are. Therefore you are going to be openly investigating the leak, and quietly the group. This way we have a chance of finding them. Zoey will filter information to you about what she finds, and you will report back to me."

"And how in the hell am I suppose to do this in my current position?"

"Jack you just got loaned to CID and CTU for awhile." Alberta said.

"Great." Jack said sarcastically could anything go worse? "So Zoey is CTU?" Jack asked looking at her almost defeated.

"Yes." Alberta answered looking at him.

"Great." Jack said holding back his anger and feeling of betrayal. "Anything else?"

"Not really more information will come in tomorrow that's when you'll be leaving via a C-130."

"What time?"

"6 a.m." Alberta answered.

"Fine call me if you get anything else." Jack got up and was leaving when he heard Chase yell, "What about lunch?"

Jack continued on he didn't feel like eating with any of them.

Jack drove back to his house and locked the door behind himself when he walked in for the first time ever. On the base you didn't really have to lock stuff up it was safe, but he wasn't worried about anyone breaking in, he didn't want anyone to come in. He walked to the bedroom and collapsed on the bed exhausted from waking up so early he wasn't use to the long days like he use to have to deal with, and he was getting older. He closed his eyes and let his feelings come through. She was CTU, and everything was just an act. All he had felt for her meant nothing. He should have known better to even start to care about anyone else. He heard a knock on the door and just closed his eyes. He wasn't going to answer it.

Zoey called, "I know your in there Jack. Let me in." She wanted to apologize to him. She left the lunch after Alberta started to gloat about how shocked he had been. Zoey didn't know their past but she was sure it wasn't a good one. She wanted to snap on Alberta for telling him he didn't need to know, and things had changed after she meant him. Things had gotten complicated when she let her feelings and perceptions get in the way of watching him. She walked over to his bedroom window assuming he'd be there since he wasn't in the living room. She looked in and saw him lying on the bed his eyes closed, a defeated look upon his face. She banged on the window startling him.

Jack felt himself jump when he heard the pounding on the window he looked over and saw her. He got up and walked out of the room. He was just going to sit in the hallway when his brain said, "Bauer don't let her know she got to you than they won everything."

Jack walked and opened the front door Zoey was there and pushed her way in. Jack walked into the living room and sat down. "What can I do for you?" He said as if everything were fine.

"Jack I never meant to hurt you." Zoey said she was going to tell him the truth.

"You didn't." Jack lied.

"I never meant to betray you. It started out that I was just going to keep an eye on you because of your past, and it seemed like an easy task, but it's not so easy when you put a person behind it. I didn't tell them anything you ever told me. I swear."

Jack remembered the night before and fought back cringing he had told her all of that.

"I'm sorry. I really am sorry. I do care about you. None of what I've done has been an act it's all me."

"What's your name?" Jack asked.

She frowned that had been a lie, "Jen."

Jack smiled and said, "If that's all Jen I have to get to packing for tomorrow."

Jen walked up to Jack and grabbed him, "Listen to me at least. I said I was sorry."

"And I said you didn't hurt me. Now let me go." Jack said she was holding his arms he could very easily rip them away from her, but he didn't.

"jack you stupid bastard I care for you. I like you." She said looking him in the eye.

"I'm sorry you feel that way." Jack said pulling his arms away. He didn't care anymore she had betray him.

"Don't do this." She said, "I know what I did was wrong but it was my job Jack."

"Someone once told me they were only doing their JOB." Jack said raising his voice at the memory. "She lied to me just like you. Now please leave."

"NO!" She said knowing he wouldn't do anything to make her leave. He wouldn't dare touch her. Jack just locked his jaw and walked away. If she didn't want to leave he didn't have to stay and look at her. He stormed out of his house she followed him. "Jack don't be a bastard." She said catching up with him grabbing his arm and pulling him to face her.

"I'm not being a bastard." Jack said in a soft voice as all of the neighbors were watching them now.

"Come back inside please." Jen said noticing all of the house wives outside watching them nothing better to do but gossip about the two.

Jack followed her back inside and closed the door behind him. When he turned around she almost jumped him. She started to kiss him using a new tactic to try to get through to him.

Jack didn't return the kiss and tried to move away from her. Jen stopped and looked at him she was almost ready to cry, but she kissed him one more time this time gently and Jack finally responded kissing her back.
