three. the lyrics are from Back to California by Sugarcult. Keep reviewing!

Tony was in his car, driving back to CTU. Michelle was still back at Geri's house. He had to get his job back. He sped up the car a little. CTU wasn't too far away, but he wanted to get there as fast as he could. He assumed that Jack would be taking over his job. Even if Chappelle wouldn't give him his job back, he knew that Jack would find him a position somewhere. No matter what people said about him, Jack was a nice guy. Tony had been his friend since he came to CTU LA. He looked down at his cell phone, hoping that Chappelle had changed his mind and was going to give him his job back, but he hadn't. he sighed as he puled into his usual parking space. He got out of the car and walked into the building. Chappelle was the first person he saw.
"if you're looking for your job back, Mr. Almeida, the answer is no." he walked by Tony without saying another word. Tony kept walking on to find Jack. Jack was sitting in his office, staring at a bottle of the methadone pills that the program had given him. Tony cleared his throat and Jack looked up.
"you should really take those, now that you're the head of CTU and all." Jack gave him a sad smile.
"sorry about your job and all, but I'm still the head of field ops." He put the bottle down. Tony had a look of disbelief and confusion on his face.
"what? I thought that Chappelle would automatically give the job to you."
"he was, but given my current condition, I said no."
"so who's the director now?" Jack paused for a second.
"Chase" ************************************************************************
Michelle was sitting at the kitchen table, eating a slice of lukewarm pizza. She wasn't really hungry anymore and she was worried about Tony. She finally put it down on the plate, unable to eat anymore.
"Geri, I need you to take me back to CTU."
"sure, just give me a sec, okay?" Michelle nodded and went into the bathroom to fix her hair. Everyone always said that she should wear her hair down, but she hated it. it always got in her way. She pulled it into a bun and went to go get her purse. Then she realized that it was in her car. she sat on the couch to wait for Geri.
"Michelle are you ready?" she called out.
"yeah." She said, and stood up. Geri came out of the kitchen and the two of them went into the garage. Michelle opened the passenger door on the mini van and got in. ************************************************************************
"isn't Chase on vacation?" Tony asked.
"he was. Until now." Jack's phone rang. he picked it up. "Bauer. Hi Chase. When will you be in?" he paused for a second and wrote something down "see you later." He hung up. "Chase is coming back tonight, so you can talk to him tomorrow." Tony nodded and left. He started towards the garage, but turned back to get some stuff from his office. As usual, it was a mess. There were papers all over the place. he began to straighten it out a bit, so that he could find the stuff he actually wanted, when he came across a picture of him and Nina. it was crumpled up and torn a bit. He threw it into the trash can. 'how did that get here?' he wondered to himself, as he continued cleaning. He found an empty box and started to throw some stuff into it. Chloe came into his office.
"Tony I need authorization codes for--"he cut her off.
"I don't work here anymore, Chloe." She stepped further into the office.
"what do you mean?"
"Chappelle fired me." She quickly turned and left. He felt kind of sorry for her. everyone at CTU was always mean to her, and she was always the last person to find out stuff. He threw in a picture of him and Michelle at their wedding. He was going to miss this job. ************************************************************************
Michelle got out of the car and started towards the main building. Nobody else was in the garage. Her footsteps echoed loudly. She was always freaked out about being in there alone. And what made it worse is the fact that Geri had dropped her off at the entrance to the garage. It was pretty big. Suddenly she stopped. She could see clearly blood all over the place. she screamed loudly. No one came. She turned around to run away, and saw Tony's body in front of her, covered in blood. She didn't even scream, this time, just fell to the floor. she had been lying there for five minutes when Chappelle came out of the building and saw her on the ground.
"Michelle?!" he turned her on to her back. He took his phone out of his pocket and dialed 911.
"please state your emergency" the tired female voice said when she answered.
"one of my co-workers fainted or something. She's unconscious."
"I'll send an ambulance. Do you know CPR?" he knelt down next to her.
"yeah."
"okay, just resuscitate her. I have your location. Don't worry." She hung up. he dialed Tony's number.
"Almeida" he answered, out of habit
"Tony Michelle's unconscious." There was a brief pause on the other end.
"what? Where?"
"in the garage."
"I'll be right there." Tony hung up. Chappelle started to resuscitate her. ************************************************************************
Chase looked out the window of the plane he was on. He had had to cut his vacation short, due to the fact that he was now the director of CTU. Kim was still in L.A. he missed her, but she had been injured too badly when she had stood in for another agent to come with him. it had been about a 2 weeks after the virus, and she decided that she wanted to be field ops. So when his new partner got sick, she took his place for a day. he had his headphones on and was listening to her favorite CD, Palm Trees and Power Lines. Sugarcult was her favorite band. She didn't really seem like the punk rock type, but she was. he hadn't spoken to her in three weeks, since she had come home from the hospital. And even that was over the phone. he changed the song to one that fit his mood better.
Leaving all, the fights and all, summer's getting colder, Drive all night to hold you tight, back to California. ************************************************************************
