Chapter 2: Hell

Jacks' POV

Am I dead? No, Im in too much pain to be dead. What happened? Ok last thing I remember was going over to Tonys' work station, and asking him about the phones. Then there was a loud explosion, I fell down when the floor was shaking so violently. Thats all i remember. It must have been a bomb. That would explain why the phones were dead when I tried to call George with updates, but how long had they been dead? Something bigger then bombing CTU must be going on. Those people propably just wanted to get CTU out of the way, then they would propably do something terrible to the country, or the president. And we wouldnt be able to stop them. Yes that must be it.

I have to get up, open my eyes, get the survivors out of here, and figure out what is going on. I want to open my eyes, but they seemed to be held down by something invisible. Pain is screaming through every nerve in my body. I am having trouble breathing, its hot in here. Smoke has surrounded me. I finally slowly open my eyes, they water instantly from the heat and smoke that filled the area. I cough some to keep too much smoke from coming in. I glance around, talk about a literal definition of 'hell'. Everything i see is on fire. I glance down at what i can see of my body, o shit my arm had caught on fire, and it was creeping up my left arm to my chest. I inhale quickly as much as I can and force myself to roll over. Stop, drop, roll. A tool they teach you in elementary school. Of course im lucky i was already on the ground, so i just rolled back and forthe on the concrete. The fire on my body went out. Though it still felt like it was on fire. I visually saw the flames go out as I rolled. I got to my hands and knees, figuring it was more smoke filled the higher you were. Basic fire knowledge. I glance around, everything is so smoggy i can barely see anything through the smoke and flames.

"Tony..." I call out to Tony, to see if hes responsive, he should be near me. I crawl slowly, coughing the whole way. Moving my hands along the ground, like a blind person, searching for any living soul. Finally I feel a hand. I run my hand up long its arm, to its neck. I check for a pulse. Its there. I look into the eyes, the face, taking it all in. It was Tony. I searched to find that his legs were trapped under his desk, which had apparently toppled over him. He was trapped. He looked unconcious as well. I moved to the desk and tried to lift it off him. The desk is too heavy for me to lift by myself, if i wasnt injuried, and wasnt under these circumstances maybe i would propably be able to move the desk, but at the current circumstances, no i couldnt. I continued to try anyways, on some small hope id be able to do the impossible and free my friend.

I heard a muffled moan of pain. I glanced around to see Michelle. She was staggering towards me. She had blood freely flowing down the side of her face, along with a few burns here and there, down her right side.

"Jack!" She called out to me. I hold my hand out for her to grab. As she did i forced her down to her knees. She was coughing violently, as i was, from all the smoke.

"Stay low to the ground..." I huffed.

"Everyone else is dead..." She replied to me, after coughing some more. "I was looking for you and Tony...also an exit..." She continued.

"I found Tony...I need your help to get this off him!" I said pointing to Tony then the desk that had trapped his legs down.

"Is he dead?" Michelle asked, staring at Tony's still form.

"No, but he will be if we dont get him out of her quickly" I coughed again. Michelle nodded and shuffled quickly over to the otherside of the desk.

"On Three!" I shouted to her.

Michelles' POV

I was having a normal day like any other. Then I heard the explosion, and the floor shaking below me. I had fallen backwards out of my chair, and then i felt flames and debris blow violently past me, I had blacked out then. I had awoken coughing violently, feeling like shit. But before i thought about my own injuries i thought about Tony. Sweet Tony, I hoped he was alright. I stood up amungst the burning floor. Things were barely visable, everything was on fire, and it was hotter then blazes in there. I figured this was hell. Or as close to it as i would ever get. I pushed my burnt right hand over my mouth, trying to keep out as much smoke as I could. I started staggering, looking for Tony. I came apon several bodies, of course i knelt down to try and find a pulse, but i found none on any of them. I started to think the worse, when I found Jack. I let out a sigh of relief, which sounded more like a pained moan then anything. I called his name and went over to him. I pulled me down and told me to stay low to the ground. I listened to him, he usually knew the best course of action in a situation such as this. Then my eyes fell apon Tony. He was so still, he had a bad burn along his stomach, and waist. I noticed that i didnt see his legs, then i saw the object on them, it was a desk. Jack had been trying to get Tony out from under the desk, but wasnt having any luck.

"I found Tony...I need your help to get this off him!" Jack said to me just before I noticed Tony's body.

"Is he dead?" I asked in pure shock.

"No, but he will be if we dont get him out of her quickly" Jack said. I nodded, then quickly crawled over to the otherside of the desk.

"On Three!" I heard Jack shout at me.

"One...Two...Three!" Jack shouted out the numbers, then we pulled the desk off Tony. I let go of the desk after it was away from Tony, Jack did as well. I coughed violently, the smoke was getting thicker. Everything was becoming blurry. I still tried to remain focused as I moved over to Tony and now Jack who was at his side. Jack had heaved Tony onto his shoulders. Clearly in pain by his facial expression. I knew he was hurt badly, I went over to him and grabbed one of Tony's arms, helping him with the weight. We both slowly got to our feet with the unconcious Tony on our backs. Jack lead the way, towards were the exit was. I was glad he knew the office so well that he could navigate his way around even if he was blindfolded. I tried to move my way around the scattered debris, mixed in with bodies. They were all gone. Everyone. Aside from her, Tony, and Jack. They were the only survivors.

We stopped all the sudden. Jack did i mean. I looked over to him, He was looking up at Mason's office. It looked like it was about to collapse. I knew then what he was thinking.

"I have to go get him" I heard him say as he moved Tony to completely on my shoulders.

"Get out of here now" He instructed me. I stared at him, what on earth is he doing, i wondered. I knew how much he hated Mason, and how much Mason hated him. Why not just leave him. Hes propably dead anyways. Of course Jack propably thought differently, dam his self-righteous ideals, and his training. Yea when your in the army they drill the idea into your head of which no man is left behind. But if he goes up there, the office will surely collapse, and he will kill himself as well.

"But Jack..." I started, but stopped as soon as i saw he was off, bounded for Georges' office. I sigh heavily, starting to move towards the exit again, knowing full well if i went back for him, me and Tony would be dead as well. I huff making my way outside. Outside, finally. Fresh air hits me like a ton of bricks as I collapse to my knees right there, Im so tired. I lay Tony down beside me. Medics and Firemen ambush the both of us. They loaded the both of us onto stretchers, and lead us a safe distance away from the building. Which was the parking lot next to the building. There was another survivor, thankfully. I see Milo. He was the only other that had escaped apparently. Everyone else must be dead. I glance up at the building, hoping Jack will get out safely. The whole building is on fire, there is a part of it that was missing as well, looks like a small chunk of it had broken away, on the floor that everyone was on. What a disaster, who would do such a thing.

"Jacks still in there! You have to go get him!" I told one of the firemen.

"We are doing everything we can ma'am" He answered me.

Jacks' POV

I was helping Michelle carry Tony out, when i caught glimpse of the CTU directors' office. It was just barely intact, looking like it would collapse any moment. Something told me i had to go up there and check to see of George was alive. Yes i hate the son of a bitch, but i dont hate him enough just to leave him to die, if hes alive, like this. I am not that kind of person. Plus its my training, they drilled no man is left behind, in my head from the very beginning. And they are right no man should be left behind. And i am not going to leave him behind.

"I have to go get him" I said to Michelle, pushing Tony on her fully, as gently as i could.

"Get out of here now!" I nearly shouted at her, then headed off towards Georges' office.

I didnt look back, I hope Michelle listened to me. Please Listen to me Michelle, I know what I am doing. I made it to the stairs looking up at them. This was going to be dangerous, they looked like they were going to collapse at any moment. I slowly and carefully make my way up the steps.

"George? George are you up here?" I call out.

Of course hes up there, this was where I had saw him last. So he had to be still up here. I continued to make my way slowly up the steps, calling out Georges name, in between coughs. It was getting harder to see, everything was getting fuzzy. I felt light headed, i figured it was due to the fact of the lack of real oxygen in the air. It was mostly smoke by now. I finally make to the top of the steps and enter the office. It felt very unstable. It was rocking back and forthe. I felt so uneased by it, I searched the office.

Finally my eyes laid apon the fallen CTU Director. I drop to my knees beside him. I put two fingers to his neck. Theres a pulse. I smile slightly, at least my instinct was correct on this. I pushed him onto my shoulders and started for the door.

I didnt get very far until i felt the ground give out from under me. I fell with the rest of the office into a heap on the ground. I was consumed by darkness then.

Kims' POV

I awoke as usual at 7:30 am. Dad had already gotten up and gone off to work, so I was home alone. I got up and got dressed. I went to the living room, instantly flipping on the tv to the news station. As usual, i walk off into the kitchen. I make myself some coffee. The same old routine.

I enter the living room again with a mug of coffee in my hand. I was taking a sip of my coffee as I glanced quickly at the TV.

'The Counter Terrorist Unit Building has been bombed by an unknown source...' The reporter said. I stared at the image on the screen for a minute, taken over by total shock. The building that my father worked at was engulfed in flames. No. Dad. No! I hadnt even realized I dropped my mug, as it shattered with contact of the floor, spilling everywhere. I bolted at the door faster then i ever thought possible. My heart is beating wildly. Please be ok Dad! Please! I jump into my green jeep and almost sped all the way towards the CTU building. Fearing the worse. Hoping that my fears wouldnt come true. I hadnt realized silent tears were running down my face already.

Tonys' POV

Ok last thing I remember was talking with Jack. The phones were dead for some reason. I found that very odd. Why would the phones be dead. Then there was a huge explosion, everything went black after that. My head hurts like hell, along with my mid-section. I allow my eyes to open slowly, only to be greeted by the painful sensation of the natural light of the sun. I squeeze my eyes shut tightly.

"Tony!" I hear Michelle. I sigh in relief, at least she made it out as well. I dared myself and opened my eyes again, the painful sensation was less, more bearable this time. I slowly move my head over to Michelles' face. Shes hurt. My heart aches, I hate to see her hurt. I love her so much, I couldnt protect her. When I should have. She is smiling weakly at me, as the medic is putting some bandages on her wounds. Luckily she just has some minor burns and cuts. I glance down at my body. My whole mid-section is laid thick with bandages. Both of my legs are in splints as well, what happened?

"Im so glad your awake..." Michelle said. I look over to her again. Silent tears were running down her cheeks. Tears of Joy, at the fact i am awake. She really loves me. And I her.

"Did anyone else survive?" I asked finally.

"Jack did, but he stayed inside, to search for any more survivors..." Michelle answered. I sighed heavily, just the thing Jack would do. Put everyone's lives before his own. Sometimes I wonder if he even values his life at all.
