The following takes place between 2:00 PM and 3:00 PM.

Events Occur in Real Time.

2:00 PM

Tony was just driving aimlessly at the moment on the freeway, he had no where to go, but he knew he had to wait til Chase called him back with something. He was slightly worried in the fact that he had found Jack unconcious and he had remained unconcious this whole time. It had been a good 40 minutes since he had found him. Tony sighed pulling off the freeway and going into the nearest vacant parking lot, which was a grocery stores'. He unbuckled his seat belt and turned around to view the backseat were Jack had been located.

His state hadnt changed much, though there was more blood evident on the shirt and his skin tone had gotten more pale, which wasnt good. Tony pulled the collar of the shirt away to get a better look at the damage, there was a gaping hole just below his collar bone that was bleeding still. Tony hissed quietly angry at himself for not putting something around it first. He glanced around looking for something. He then remembered he was at a grocery store, they would have some first aid equipment, not everything he needed but enough for him to pass by with. He got out of the car and headed into the grocery store. He quickly grabbed one of those car first aid kits, another roll of gauze, and some white tape. He purchased it quickly and ran back to the jeep. Nothing had changed, he sighed slightly as he cleaned the wound, began to wrap the wound on Jack in guaze and secured it down with the white tape. That was all he could do right now.

2:10 PM

Chloe peeled herself away from the diner finally, she got back to her car and got enough courage to return to her parents house. She knew she wasnt that far away, unintentionally she had went to the same diner that her parents would go to so often when they wanted to eat out for breakfast or lunch. It was only about 5 minutes away.

She pulled up to the vacant house and pulled into the driveway. She took a shallow in nervousness then told herself, no ones here, its okay now. She fought back her nervousness as she entered the house, it was quiet. She then heard some rustling coming towards her almost making her jump out of the house again, but she realized in a brief sigh of relief it was just the dog. The border collie sprinted towards her and rubbed himself against her legs, begging her to pet him. She scratched behind his ear as she seemed to relax alot by the dog.

She then proceeded to the living room and flipped on the tv, plopping down on the couch. The border collie snuggled up on the couch with her as well, as if to keep her comforted.

2:20 PM

Chase was going back and forthe between his station and everyone elses, kind of acting as director. No one had found Erins' body yet aside from him and he kept that a secret along with all the other stuff. He had been trying to figure out a place where Tony could take Jack for some medical attention at his own station, as well as keep Mark from getting too far in the investigation, though that was easy enough, they were all working out the incident that happened a year ago. Chase went to Marks' desk again now to see what he had found.

"We need to get in contact with a Bill Buchanan, he was there that day" Mark stated.

"Hes at division now, call them and they will propably let him come down here for awhile" Chase said.

"Okay" Mark said grabbing the phone and dialing Division.

Chase went back to his station writing down the address of the clinic before turning everything off on his system so no one would get suspicious.

2:30 PM

"Hey Tony, Its Chase" Tony answered his phone. He was still in the same parking lot as before trying to wake Jack up but failing miserably.

"What do you got for me Chase?" Tony asked getting straight to the point.

"Theres a clinic that will go undetected, heres the address" Chase stated the address of the clinic, it was just outside the outskirts of LA, on their side. Luckily Tony could get there quickly.

"Thanks Chase" Tony replied.

"No problem, Ill try and keep you updated on the investigation down here" Chase said.

"Good, I gotta get going Chase" Tony said buckling his seat belt and starting the car again.

"Okay, Ill call you later" Chase said hanging up the phone, as did Tony. Tony headed off towards the clinic that Chase had told him about.

2:40 PM

"Chase" Mark got Chases' attention as he walked back into the open area. Chase headed over to his station.

"Yea Mark, Whats up?" Chase asked.

"I just called Division about Bill Buchanan, they told me they hadnt seen him yet today he didnt show up for work, they told us to send someone over to his place" Mark explained.

"Alright Ill get Baker on that" Chase informed him then went off to tell Baker to check it out.

2:50 PM

Tony was nearing the clinic, hed be there by 3 he figured. He was driving on the freeway and was suddenly startled by groaning and muffled cursing coming from the back. He glanced back to see Jack slowly sitting up rubbing his head and wincing.

"Welcome back" Tony said cheerfully relieved that he was awake now.

"Mmm...what happened?" Jack asked as he looked himself over, he noticed the blood stain on his shirt and inspected the wrapped wound, wondering what happened.

"Well...I was wondering if you would tell me that" Tony asked in almost confusion. "Whats the last thing you remember?"

"Leaving Kims' house..." Jack sighed. "How long ago was that?" He adjusted himself in the back seat.

"Almost 3 hours ago..." Tony answered.
