Chapter 4: 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM

12:00 PM

"I got a location" Tony smiled moving his head to see George Mason.

"Good, now I need a fields' team, for back up" George said aloud grabbing the phone and then requesting for the fields' team to get ready and head towards the given location which Tony had found.

"Im going to get her back" George said standing up. Tony looked at him, he thought George had finally lost it. How the hell was he going to pull that off? They are going to know its CTU and kill kim right on the spot, that is if they find them.

"Let me come with" He said. He saw the look in Georges' eyes, he was determined to do this. He was going to need some help, Tony knew that for certain.

"No one of us should stay here incase the Drazens' call again" George said adjusting his coat.

"Fine..." Tony sighed, George was right though.

"Good Luck" Tony stated, the only other thing he thought of saying. He prayed Georges' plan worked, though the possibilities of it working was highly unlikely. And with that George was gone.

12:16 PM

Teri and Nina had been sitting in an uncomfortable silence for the last 20 some odd minutes. Nina had just been thinking to her self, trying to find a way out of the predicament she had found herself in, but was failing miserably. It was just the task, she knew she should prepare herself on what she was about to do, but her emotions were overwhelming her, everything was. Thankfully she was a rather good actor, and her appearance didnt reveal any of this inner emotional turmoil.

"How did this happen?" Teri asked randomly, in her dazed and concerned state. She needed to know what happened to her husband, why was he shot. Why was he the one suffering. Who wanted him to suffer. Who is cruel enough to do something like this to them. Why them? Why this family? All questions she didnt have answers too.

"The Drazens' they had Jack hostage, and they wanted to trade him for Alexis Drazen, as you already know, and somewhere during the trade, or before, we arent sure, he was shot...they apparently had left him for dead, propably thinking he would be dead before we got to him...thankfully thats not the story..." Nina explained to her.

"He will be okay" Nina offered false hope. For the fact he will not be okay, she was going to kill him. She felt as if she were being cruel, offering false hope, even if he did survive the surgery, he wouldnt survive Nina. She was sure of that. She couldnt falter in her task, or they will all die. Jack was going to be dead by the end of the day anyways, she kept trying to convince herself. Hell Drazens' targets were the future president and Jack. The Drazens' were very powerful indeed, they would pursue their targets at all costs, Nina knew this, this was propably why she joined them. It was either join them, or die. No inbetween, and now she was suffering for it, Jacks' family would suffer for it, they didnt deserve to suffer. Such innocent lives, being destoried here. Nina didnt even fully know why the Drazens' hated Jack and senator Palmer so much. Yes she had heard some stuff here and there, leaks, but nothing more. All she really knew it had involved a mission Jack was on 2 years ago, code named "Nightfall". She had pondered over the course of the day what had happened on that mission. Something bad happened though, something terrible, enough to want revenge at any length.

12:27 PM

George and the field team were at the location where Tony had lead them too. It was a pier. Several shipping buildings were there. Alot of area to search. They searched the area, very covert like.

George moved into one of the buildings slowly, seeing nothing he advanced more. Suddenly from behind someone had touched his shoulder. He spun around, nearly firing at the shadow.

"Who are you!" The shadow spoke, it was a female voice. A fimilar one, a frightened one.

"George Mason" He answered lowering his gun.

"Your from CTU!" The being came out from the shadows. It was kim. Her hair was drenched, she was drenched completely. She was shivering slightly.

"Kim!" Mason smiled.

"We have to get out of here, they are looking for me!" Kim said quickly.

"Yes alright..." Mason smiled, he then radioed everyone else and reported that they had found Kim.

12:50 PM

Teri had been silent after Nina explained what really happened to her husband.

"Thank you for telling me.." Teri whispered quietly after a while had pasted. Nina smiled weakly. On the inside she was tearing herself up.

"Mrs. Bauer?" Neither of them had noticed a doctor approach them. Teri looked at him and instantly was on her feet. Nina followed, getting on her feet as well.

"Can I see him now?" Teri asked.

"Yes, we moved him to a recovery room right now, he should be fine" The doctor said smiling. Nina sighed heavily.

"Why dont you go freshen up first, Teri, I dont think you would want Jack to see you like this" Nina offered, Teri had looked like she could use some freshing up anyways. And this was the perfect cover up for the terrible crime she was about to commit.

"But.." Teri started to refuse.

"He still will be here" Nina continued. Lying of course, he would be dead by the time she had reached him, and she would be gone for good.

"Alright..." Teri mumbled then headed off down the hall to the bathroom.

"Can you take me to see him?" Nina turned around to the doctor after Teri was gone. The doctor smiled and head her to Jacks' room.

12:56 PM

Nina took a deep breathe before entering Jacks' room. The doctor had left her alone after he pointed out his room. She slowly opened the door, peering in. Her eyes fell apon the sleeping form of Jack. A breathing mask was over his mouth and nose, and random beeping could be heard from the machines around him, with the vitals. His chest laid bare, aside from the thick coat of bandages that laid over his wound. He looked so peaceful. Nina slowly moved over to him. She turned the noise off the machines that were keeping track of his vitals. The room was deadly silent, aside from Jacks' breathing sound. Nina was crying by now, she couldnt believe waht she was going to do.

"Im sorry Jack..." She whispered quietly, placing her hand over the breathing masks' holes, and cutting off the cord that gave him oxygen. He had no air of which to breathe from now, she was suffocating him to death. After a few seconds Jacks' eyes opened widely, at the sudden pressure of not being able to breathe. He stared straight at Nina whos' hand was covering his breathing mask. She was crying.

"Im sorry Jack" She repeated again and again. Jack gasped for the air that wasnt there, he slowly moved his hands to grasp hers. They were too weak for them to remove Nina's grip. He was going to die at the hands of one of his best friends. No, Nina wouldnt do this, he thought, but she was. She betrayed him, and now was killing him. She was the mole. He had trusted her all day, just to be backstabbed like this. His battle with staying concious, he was starting to lose it, he continued to gap for air that wasnt there, and unconciousness threatened to put him in the darkness and keep him there. If he lost conciousness, he was dead, he knew this, but he couldnt last very long without air. He continued to stare into Nina's emotional eyes. Wondering what had happened to her, what had happened to her to do this to him. To his family. Why.

"Nina! No!" Teri screamed from the door. She entered the room to be greeted by a haunting sight. Nina, the one she had learned to trust over the day, was now suffocating her husband to death. This was almost to much for her to handle.
