Chapter 1

The following takes place between 4:00 AM and 5:00 AM
Events occur in real time.

4:00 AM

All was silent in the house. Everyone was asleep. Jack was on the living room couch, getting the cold shoulder from Alexis. She had gotten very angry with him from the day before, realizing she had been lied to since day 1 from Jack. She believed him to be normal everyday John Bronson. But no he was Jack Bauer, one thought to be dead. And now his past is coming back to haunt him, now that one of his old collegues/friends, this Tony Almeida had showed up. Alexis was angry, but still deep down she knew she wouldnt be able to stay angry for long, Jack could always find a way to cheer her up and make her forgive him. She had been quite suspicious before hand anyways, from the strange scars that he never talked about, nor he talked about his past. She always had dismissed it as a touchy subject, which it was, but she didnt realize he was exiled basically from his own country.

Alexis was sleeping in the master bedroom, catching a few z's before Jason woke her up for something. Jason was 3 months old, so it was expected for him to wake up and keep his parents up in the late hours of the night. Jack was the one to usually get up for Jason, but since he was down a level, Alexis was closest so shed do it tonight, it always was the one closest to Jasons' room.

Tony was placed in the spare room that was located down in the basement. He lay on the twin bed staring at the ceiling. Ever since he had set out to find Jack, he had gotten less and less sleep each night, and tonight was no different. Now that he had even found Jack now, he was still edgy, some odd feeling he had. He couldnt really explain this feeling, nor did he try, it was like a cold shiver running down his spine. He didnt like it either, he gave him the sense that something was just not right. But everything was going as he had planned, he found Jack, and now they were going to stop the massacre that was about to happen to everyone that was ever more then professional to Jack, and himself. (A/N: hint hint hintttt)

Jay, short for Jack, Alexis's other boy, that was now Jacks' step son was staying over at a friends' house. He had just turned 12 years old last month, and was a very intelligent boy. Jack liked him immediatly, Jay wasnt so fond of Jack. Jay liked him as a 'friend' but he knew he wouldnt be the same as his real father. Who had died when he was 5 years old, while serving in the army. Jay respected Jack and knew he loved his mother, but it took several months for Jack to gain Jays' respect, at first Jay just treated Jack like dirt. But Jack understood and just tried to gain the boys' respect at least, he knew he needed Jay to understand that he wasnt there to replace his real father, he made Jay look at it like he was just a friend, and thats the way it worked. Jack had only begun just a few months ago, a month before Jason was born to form a real relationship with Jay. Their bond had only grown tighter since Jays' baby brother was born.

4:10 AM(A/N: how am i doing? Good so far I hope)

Alexis awoke instantly as the muffled cry coming from Jasons' room. She yawned sitting up stretching a little to get the kinks out. She heard the muffled cry continue and thought to herself 'im coming, im coming'. She stood up from the bed and walked out into the hallway and walked into Jasons' room.

She sauntered over to the crib and placed her hands on her little boy and picked him up, cradling him in her arms.

"Shhh...Everythings' fine..." She comforted the child rocking him back and forthe, as he quieted down. She smiled sweetly at him, kissing him on the forehead and laid him back down in the crib.

"Thats a good boy" She coo-ed, hovering over the crib, smiling at Jason.

When suddenly a foreign arm wrapped itself around her face, covering her mouth, and pressing tightly. She screamed, but it was muffled by the arm, she placed her hands on the foreign arm trying to release herself but could not, this person was strong. Another strong arm wrapped itself harshly around her adobmen. She screamed into the arm again, but no vail. The mystery person then started to pull her out of the room. She saw another man come in through the window in Jasons' room, picking up the child from the cribe. Alexis screamed again. Nothing was working, Jack was sound asleep, and he was one heavy sleeper at times. She watched helplessly pulling against the strong arms as the man pulled Jason from his cribe. He started crying instantly. (A/N: predictable? lol)

Suddenly several more men appeared from behind Alexis, ther was a whole squad here. They came here to take out Jack and Tony, she thought. That must have been it, had they already done it? No she would have heard them, Jack wouldnt go down without a fight. The silence was erie. She keep scanning her surroundings as the men forced her down the stairs, all of them went down. She then saw Jack, on the couch. His hands were tied behind his back along with his feet. He looked asleep. She scanned his unconcious form more, and found a small trickle of blood flowing from his hair line down to his neck, it shone easily against his skin complexion. They knocked him out, how could she not have heard this? She hissed in frustration and pulled more against the strong arms at this sight of Jack. (A/N: mmmm...not what you expected? i hope...hehehe)

The man paused for a second, as Alexis then watched 3 men come up from the basement. They were carrying Tony, he was tied up just as Jack. They threw him roughly onto the floor of the living room, just aside from the couch which Jack was on. He was out cold too. Alexis was very concerned and frightened. These men were definitly professionals. (A/N: i need to start my music again o.o)

The man then dragged Alexis out, the other men didnt follow. The cold dry breeze from the night had hit her full fledge making her shiver slightly, it usually didnt get that cold at night. Or maybe it did, she wasnt usually outside at this time of night. What time was it? she wondered as the man carried her to a black SUV, there were 3 SUVs lined up along the road, she was lead to the one in the middle. Though it was night they still stood out easily against the ground. He shoved her into the back, tying her hands together along with her feet. The also gagged her, then shut her into the darkness which concealed the whole inside of the car. She heard the door open and the man get in. She couldnt see anything anymore. But heard muffled movements and car doors opening and closing.

Once Alexis was out the other men began to drench the house in gasoline. Once they had finished they left the house with just Tony and Jack in the living room, and the last one to leave threw a few lighted matchs on the ground, letting the fire spread on its own. They then got into the rest of the SUVs and took off down the road. (A/N: dun dun don...)

4:30 AM

The smell along with bright colors made Jack stir awake. He opened his eyes shaking his head a little. He saw fire surrounding them. His mind was instantly spinning, what had happened. Last thing he remembered was he awoke to Jasons' muffled crying, it was usual, then when he was about to go and get him to calm down as he would usually he felt a sharp pain to the back of the head then fell into the darkness. His head throbbed as he tried to move then realized he was restrained at the hands and feet. Shit, he thought as he looked around for anything to free himself with. He then saw Tony on the ground next to him, he was the same way. What the hell had happened, he thought to himself, then his mind then right to Alexis and Jason. Where are they? he thought, panicking, and pulling against his bonds more. Smoke filled his lungs more as he began to cough some.

Tony had just stirred awake then, coughing and struggling against his bonds as well. He glanced over to see Jack was in the same position. Jack had rolled over then and fell off the couch with a small thud, Tony heard a muffled moan escape him followed by more coughing. Tony glanced around to see the whole interior of the house was on fire. He strained agains his tied wrists. He saw the intruder, before, but wasnt able to react quick enough and would up getting hit in the back of the head and falling into the darkness, it looks as if Jack had received the same treatment.

4:50 AM

"Do you have anything on you to cut these ropes?" Jack huffled through his strained breathing. Tony coughed hard trying to think. The flames danced around them, making the smoke thick and nearly impossible to look around.

"Mmmm..Yea theres a pocket knife in my back pocket" Tony said trying to adjust to get the knife out of his pocket.

"Okay, turn your back towards mine I try and get it" Jack instructed, wincing his eyes from the smoke filled air. Tony did it without question, wiggling his way so his back faced Jacks'. Jack felt around Tony's lower back, searching for the pocket, since he couldnt see what he was doing. Finally he found Tonys' back pocket and managed to pull the pocket knife out. (A/N: Okay...you guys are propably going to have dirty thoughts about that...lol...i have a few...lol)

"I got it" Jack said, getting the pocket knife in his hands with a good grip and trying to cut himself free. He winced as the knife also rubbed against his wrists, creating cuts and scraps along it. Finally the knife cut threw the ropes. He flexed his now blood stained wrists, rubbing them for a second, then cut his ankle ropes quickly. He then turned to Tony and repeated the same actions.

"We gotta get out of here" Tony said sitting up rubbing his wrists as well. Jack handed him back the knife the glanced around.

"I gotta make sure Alexis or Jason arent still here" Jack said with thick concern in his voice.

"This place is about to come down Jack, they are propably out of here by now" Tony tried to convince him as he just jumped out of the way as the ceiling had began to crumple away above him.

"Get out of here Tony, Ill be right behind you" Jack instructed standing up and sprinting through the house searching for Alexis or Jason. Tony sighed heavily then looked for the exit. The doors were blocked by flames. The only way now was to break through the front window. He sighed grabbing one of the kitchen chairs and breaking threw the window with it. Jack had came back just to see this. He found no trace of Jason nor Alexis.

Tony jumped out of the window first landing roughly on the front lawn, if you call it a lawn, it was all dirt and rock. Jack followed quickly as they ran to a safe distance. The house collapsed then. Jack watched it for a few seconds, starting to stare off into space. Tony sighed heavily, wipping the sut off of his face. Jack then glanced around the area, it was dead silence, nothing out of the ordinary.

"Why did they take them!" Jack hissed heading towards his jeep.

"Wait Jack, calm down lets think this through" Tony followed him.

"You never should have came" Jack jerked around shouting angry at Tony.

"Did you ever actually look behind you! No, because if you had you would have saw someone was fucking following you!" Jack lashed out at him.

"Im sorry Jack, I hadnt realized!" Tony tried to defend himself, though he also knew it was his fault.

"You brought the trouble here, If you would have just stayed where you were, We wouldnt be here right now! Tony! I know you were just trying to help, but Jesus Christ, you just made it worse, they propably would have never found me if you hadnt come, And Now They have Alexis and Jason!" Jack ranted. Tony was speechless. Guilt washed over him. He let his head sink to let his chin rest on his chest, staring at the baren ground.

"Come on..." Jack hissed after a minute standing on the drivers' side of Tonys' rental car. Tony looked up and rushed over to him, not wanting to piss him off more, he handed his keys over to Jack and jumped into the passenger side. Jack got in quickly and they were on the road.

"Where are we going? We have no leads...no direction" Tony asked.

"I gotta get Jay first, keep him safe..." Jack barked, obviously outraged at Tony.
