Chapter 4: More Then Meets The Eye
Michelle just got back to CTU, she made her way over to Tonys' office immediatly. He was sitting in his chair staring at the computer screen. He had been trying to figure out what exactly had happened at the hostipal where Jack was, they lucky had some secruity cameras that had captured partically what had happened there. He had told Milo to analyze it and try and get some IDs on the men.
"Hey Tony" Michelle smiled weakly, standing in the doorframe of his office.
"Hey.." Tony looked up and returned the smile, he then stood up, leaving his computer and walking over to Michelle, embracing her in an attempt to comfort her. Michelle returned the embrace, she was slightly distraught at the fact that she hadnt been able to stop them from getting Jack. Tony ran his hand in circular motion along her back kissing her on the forehead.
"its my fault...i could have..." Michelle was cut off.
"No, you did what you could...dont worry, we will get him back" Tony comforted her more, though he had no idea what to do now. They had no clue where they had taken Jack, and no leads what so ever. All they had was that chip, which was being decoded as they spoke. Tony continued to cradle her slightly, trying to be the strong one of the two of them. But he was just as worried as Michelle was about Jack, he was a good friend, and from the way Michelle had been speaking of his condition before, it would seem he wouldnt be able to put up with much more abuse. Tony pulled her into the office and closed the door behind them, also flicking the switch that tinted the glass windows. He then kissed her in a slightly more passionate kiss, and they continued to kiss passionately, relieving some of the tension that was built up on both of them.
After a few minutes Tonys' phone rang, breaking up their heat of the moment alone together. He let go of her and moved towards his chair and desk, sitting down and answering the phone.
"Almeida." He answered.
"Tony Almeida, Director of CTU, right?" The voice asked. Tony was slightly suprised by this voice, uneased almost, this man knew exactly who he was, and it was definitly not a person at CTU.
"Yes" Tony replied simply.
"We have a Jack Bauer, and if you want to see him alive again, you will do as your told" The voice explained the reason of his calling quickly. Tony was immediatly pulled to attention at the mention of Jack.
"Who are you?" Tony asked. Michelle was now standing next to him, trying to understand what the call was about. Her curiousity only increased when Tony asked that question.
"That information you dont require, all you require is the information of what you have to do for me" The voice avoided giving his name.
"What do you want me to do?" Tony hesitated before asking.
"I want the chip brought to the corner of 102th and Radio Avenue, i will exchange the life of Jack Bauer for the chip, you will come alone, in 1 hour, if you refuse to do this, Jack will die, if you have tell anyone, Jack will die, and let me assure you, i will know if you tell any one, also if Jacks' life on the line isnt enough to bring the chip over to me i will take more extreme measure, I hear that Michelle Dressler and yourself are quite the pair, we wouldnt want her to get involved in this do we?" The voice knew everything that was going on in CTU, down to the fact that he knew that Tony and Michelle were together. This made Tony very uneasy, there was someone working for this person in CTU, this wouldnt be good. This is like the same thing that happened little over a year ago.
"No..." Tony said simply, what else could he have said? He didnt want to put anyone else in danger, especially Michelle.
"Good...I will see you in 1 hour" The voice said, then the line went dead. Tony slowly hung the phone up and sighed heavily. He had to find out who was working on the inside at CTU, the one connected with this person who has Jack. But who, that was the million dollar question, who was it? It definitly wasnt Michelle, since the person just basically threatened to harm her if Tony didnt do what he was told. Now he couldnt trust anyone at CTU, aside from Michelle.
He felt her place her hand on his shoulder after he hung up the phone.
"Who was that Tony?" She asked him, with a hint of curiousity and worry in her tone.
"The one that had taken Jack hostage..." Tony rubbed the back of his neck with his hands.
"What do they want?" Michelle asked.
"They want to trade Jack for the chip, They want me to do it, in 1 hour, and i have to come alone, or else they will kill Jack" Tony explained, leaving out the part of which Michelle was pulled into it. "They also said if i tried anything they will kill him as well, meaning they are watching me, and theres another mole at CTU" He continued.
