The following takes place between 5:00 AM and 6:00 AM

Events occur in real time.

5:00 AM

Bill Buchanan(A/N: im not sure i spelt that right...you guys know who i mean...lol) was sleeping peacefully in his house in the early hours of the morning before he had to report to his work at CTU, as the director. He was a rather heavy sleeper, the women that he had been with could vouch for that. He slept like a rock and wouldnt wake for anything but his alarm clock.

A man in black slipped into his house with ease and moved his way up to Bills' room. He was holding a hand gun and moving stealthfully with great care for speed and silentness. He hovered over Bills' bed, apon his sleeping form and attached the silencer to his gun. He held it right to Bills' forehead, and pulled the trigger.

5:10 AM

Jack and Tony had just arrived at the Pierces' residents, where Jay was staying with a friend. Jack told Tony to stay in the car while he get his step son. He stepped out of the car and walked up to the door knocking on it, knowning full well that they must be asleep.

He stood there for a minute then the door opened, revealing Mr. Pierce who was rubbing his eyes and yawning. He did almost a double take, wondering why Jays' step father was on his doorstep at this early hour of the morning.

"¿Puedo ayudarle, Juan?" He asked in a yawn. (A/N: i bet you guys didnt know i spoke spanish eh? lets see how far i can get with 3 years of spanish under my belt...', if anyone needs a translation, just ask ')

"Necesito tomar Jay" Jack answered.

"Si, El es que duerme en el cuarto vivo con los otros ninos" The man lead Jack into the house, into the living room where 5 boys laid deep in sleep. Jack eased his way around them as quietly as he could so he wouldnt disturb them, and gently picked up Jay, sleeping bag and all, and pulled him into his arms.

"gracias y adios" Jack said before leaving the house. He carried the sleeping boy to the car. Tony nudged the back door open, and Jack placed him laying down in back. Jay continued to sleep peacefully, he was a heavy sleeper as well. He had gotten that way since Jason had been born. Jack hoped back in the car and took off again.

5:20 AM

"Hey Tony" Michelle answered her cell phone, after seeing the caller ID.

"Hey Michelle, How are You doing?" Tony asked.

"Good, My cousin is touring me around France" She spoke happily. "Any luck on finding Jack yet?" She asked, he hadnt called her in a week. Hed call her every week to check up.

"Yea I found him yesterday, we are on our way back to the states now" Tony stated.

"Going back to the states? That will be too dangerous Tony" Michelle said with concern in her voice.

"I know but we gotta get to the bottom of this, and Jack and I both agree that going back to the states is the best way" Tony said.

"Alright...But hurry, Im getting home sick..." Michelle whimpered.

"Ill talk to you later" Tony hung up on her.

5:30 AM

"John?" Jay yawned sitting up from the back seat.

"Yea buddy?" Jack passed a glance to the young boy.

"Who are you?" Jay asked looking at Tony.

"Im Tony Almeida, I use to work for your step father" Tony smiled as Jay stretched his hand out to shake Tonys', Tony shook his hand and smiled weakly.

"Whats going on?" He asked turning back to Jack.

"Just a little road trip Jay" Jack smiled weakly.

"Where to?" Jay asked.

"We are going to Los Angeles, California, in the US" Jack answered back.

"O Wow, cool, hey wheres mom? and Jason?" Jay asked. Jack sighed heavily, he didnt want Jay to know if he didnt need too. He glanced over to Tony then back to Jay. Tony had just been silent, listening to the conversation.

"They arent coming buddy" Jack lied. "Why dont you go back to sleep, its still early" Jack reccomended. Jay rubbed his eyes and yawned again.

"Okay..." He agreed laying back down.

5:40 AM

Tony thought it was getting to silent in the car, no one had spoken anything since Jay went back to sleep. Tony then turned on the radio, he switched to an english news station. Jack didnt seemed bothered by it, just kept driving.

"...sometime last night former president David Palmer was found dead in his apartment..." Those were all the words Jack heard, as his eyes went wide, in grieve, he quickly turned the radio off, he didnt want Jay to catch wind of this whole ordeal completely.

"They got to him..." Tony said quietly. Jack looked back at Jay, he was sleeping still, he sighed a little. Palmer was one of his friends, and now he was gone now.

"It has begun..." He said quietly to himself.

"We have to keep our wits about this, there are alot of them and few of us, and everyone is so spread out..." Tony sighed.

"Okay we know Michelle is in France...wheres Chloe?" Jack asked.

"She said she was off to visit her parents in Toronto, Canada" Tony replied. (A/N: Toronto, HAHAHA...lol...dont mind me...im insane...lol)

"And palmer is dead now...who else knows about this?" Jack was processing the thoughts.

"...no one else..." Tony thought about it, it was really just between them 5 people, this secret.

"But they might go after people we work with, suspecting they know... We need to go back to CTU" Jack said, as he took his eyes off the road for a second, it was dead on the road, they were the only ones on the road at this early hour.

Suddenly another car that just appeared out of no where in Jacks' mind swirved into their lane. Jack jerked the wheel slightly to get out of the cars way, but he wasnt quick enough it sideswiped the other vehicle, clipping the front end. Jay was awaken by this commotion and slide to the passengers' side of the vehicle. Jack tried to regain control of the car as its spun out of control. It then spun off the road and went drivers' side first into the tree, the car bent itself around the tree.

5:50 AM

Tony shook his head slightly, he slammed his head against the window, cracking the window and also getting a small cut on his forehead. He rubbed the back of his neck from the whiplash then glanced around, hearing Jay whimpering in back. He didnt even glance at Jack in the drivers' seat and just looked at Jay, who seemed unharmed but shocked.

"Are you okay?" Tony asked him.

"Yes..." Jay whimpered.

Tony smiled weakly then turned to the drivers' seat, the airbag had inflated. He couldnt see Jacks' face, or head for that matter. Tony deflated the airbag as he got a clear look at Jack. Blood was streaming down from his nose and mouth. And he had a bump on his forehead just above his right eyebrow. He looked over the rest of Jacks' body for any other injuries, it looked like a few of his fingers were broken by the airbag inflating, but other then that nothing to major that he could see. Though he did take note of the rather raspy irregular breathing form coming from Jacks' unconcious form.

6:00 AM
