Chapter 1: 9:00PM - 10:00PM
9:00 PM
The masked men had just finished restraining Kimberly and take her into their truck. She cries through the
duct tape placed over her mouth.
Palmer enters the hotel's banquet room to a rousing ovation from his supporters. He gives the partygoers words of inspiration for their latest campaign victory.
From Drazen's red van, Jack called Nina at CTU. He ordered her to get Alexis Drazen on the line so Victor can confirm that he is alive. From his hospital bed, Alexis admitted failure to his father. Victor told his son that since they are both alive, he had not failed. Victor told the CTU people listening to the call that he will trade the life of Jack for that of Alexis. Mason finally spoke up, informing Victor that he was not authorized to make such a trade. Victor said that when he calls back,
Mason had better have an answer.
9:07 PM
Mason informed Nina that CTU Director Chapelle would not allow them to make a trade for Jack. Any dealing with Victor Drazen would acknowledge that he is still alive and be an embarrassment for the government. Nina did not want to believe
that Jack is expendable, and she wondered why they didn't try to grab Victor while he is still out in the open. Nina had to break the news to Teri that the government won't make a trade for Jack.
9:14 PM
Andre and Victor brough Jack to the basement of a Slavic restaurant to hide. Victor warmly greeted a man named Nikola and his daughter, Mila. Nikola had a meal and clothes waiting for Victor.
9:16 PM
Mason was trying to get his superiors to reconsider and save Jack when Teri interrupted him. She demanded to know what he was doing about the situation. After getting no answer from him, Teri then begged Nina for help. Nina claimed to be reaching out to someone who can possibly come to Jack's aid. Since what she was doing is not formal procedure, she could not talk about it. Nina asked Teri to trust her.
9:18 PM
Tony was alerted that Kimberly has been taken from the police squad car. He was about to tell Nina the news when Teri approached him. Tony remained silent until she left. He informed Nina, and questioned whether she will tell Teri.
9:20 PM
Senator Palmer called Mason and demanded him to reverse his orders on the trade for Jack. Mason was reluctant because this does not fall under the Senate's purview. He would be reprimanded for going against the CTU. Palmer assured him that when he would become President, he would enstate Mason to a high position of power. Mason questioned what would happen if Palmer did not get elected.
"That's not going to happen," Palmer answered.
9:25 PM
As Mila served to Victor, Jack watched closely. He then managed to knock down a guard and grab a
knife. Jack then held the knife to Mila's throat and ordered the other men to drop their weapons.
Everyone but Victor did so obediently. Victor then shot Mila in the head, killing her instantly. The guards apprehend
Jack.
9:28 PM
Andre was furious about things spiraling out of control, and he called Mason again. Mason agreed to the trade, and Andre instructed him to bring Alexis to an address on Grand Avenue. Alexis was to be placed inside a green SUV there. Tony located the address as a repair garage. Mason went to the hospital to claim Alexis for the trade.
9:30 PM
Nikola grieved over the body of his daughter, as Victor consoled him. Suddenly, Nikola turned his anger on Victor. Without eve flinching, Victor shoot Nikola. Kim was then dragged in and Jack called out to her. A guard threw a hood over Jack's face and carried him up the stairs. Kim was left in the basement with the dead bodies.
9:37 PM
Teri was relieved to learn that a trade will be made for Jack. When she asked to speak to Kim in the patrol car, Nina told her that she will look into it. Teri thanked Nina for being honest with her about everything that's been going on. After leaving Teri, Nina approached Tony. She admitted that she couldn't tell the truth to Teri, and wondered aloud whether she was too soft for the job. Tony reassures Nina that she was good at what she does.
9:40 PM
In the van, Jack begged for his daughter's life. He made an appeal to Andre that if they killed any more innocent people, it would be harder for them to leave the country alive. Both Victor and Andre told Jack to be quiet.
9:45 PM
The Drazen van had just left Jack alone, handcuffed to a post in a oil field. Andre had also warned him if the trade had not gone as planned the sniper from a few yards away would kill Jack.
"Damit..." Jack hissed pulling at his handcuffed wrist looking around, he was know alone to contemplate death. Instead of letting his mind wander, he tried to free himself, knowing it was no good, but it was better then just thinking of what was propably going to happen to him.
9:54 PM
Mason was on his way on delivering Alexis Drazen in an ambulance to where he was told was the meeting place. They rolled Alexis' stretcher to the waiting green SUV. The guard named Harris pulled out his phone and alerted Andre that Alexis was in worse condition then previously thought.
"Then we shall return Jack in worse condition then they thought..." Andre ended the phone call with that statement.
Back at the meeting area Mason demands Jacks' location. After Harris ended the phone call, he said simply that once they are sure that they are not being followed, they would provide Jacks' location. Mason also asked about Kim, but Harris only seemed to be concerned with Jack at the moment.
He allowed the green SUV to leave. Once it was clear he pulled out his radio and contacted Nina. Nina told him that she was tracking the green SUV.
9:58 PM
Andre called the sniper who was on Jack. "Injure him...but dont let him die...quickly..." He said with anger in his tone.
"Yes" The sniper answered simply then the phone call ended.
Jack had his back facing the sniper. The sniper readied himself aiming the gun straight into Jacks' right side, just to the upper left corner of his chest, near his shoulder. This would cause alot of pain, and a slow death if not treated immediatly. He fired his weapon.
Jack heard a gun shot and flinched, then it hit him.
The explosion of pain vibrating through the right side of his chest. Shock took over his body as his knees buckled he gasped in pain, as he went onto his knees, he placed his free hand on the ground to steady himself, as his handcuffed one yanked against the post keeping his hand above his head. He looked down at the ground as blood dripped from his wound. Breathing, which was once a subconscious act, had become one that he had to focus on with every ammount of energy he had left. It felt like he was drowning. He gasped for more breathe as his arm was weaking quickly.
With one not very graceful movement he pushed himself to leaning against the pole. He felt the sweat pouring down his face, and the blood freely pouring from his wound. He closed his eyes, the darkness of the overwhelming pain was threatening to push him into unconsciousness. Though he continued to breathe, thats all he cared about now. Just to breathe. Just to keep living.
