Heller jumped up when his metal cell door was open. Bathed in sweat he was as enraged before, pumped up on fury he was ready to explode. He moved backwards naturally when two men with machine guns entered, and was about to voice his demands that Audrey be brought to him, when she was pushed in the room hard, Omar the leader following him in the generously sized room.
Heller instinctively moved over to his daughter and tried to pull her to him, but she fought with him and pushed herself away, distraught with emotion, sobbing loudly, unable to control her cries. Heller's fury dimmed a little as his concern filtered in - what had they done to her?
Audrey was still sobbing, her arms wrapped round herself she was trying to calm down; the loud cries were subsiding, but she couldn't suppress the sobs.
Heller stepped forward disregarding the guards and there weapons, he looked directly at Omar.
"If you hurt her you bastard I swear to God you'll regret it."
He quietened down a little, seeing the amused look on Omar's face.
He stepped to the side a little moving away from the door as he replied to Heller's threat, his voice mocking and his English perfect.
"I have not harmed your daughter, yet, Mr. Heller," he laughed, indicating with a flick of his head that the men outside the door should enter. Heller watched with curiosity as two men struggled to drag a body into the room. He could only see the limp legs being pulled across the floor and the hands which had been tired together with twine behind his back. One of the men shifted his weight and Jacks sleeve pulled up a little. Heller knew better than to give any reaction so his face stayed a passive calm as Jacks tattoo was revealed; he knew it was him instantly.
His hope began to crumble as the men dropped him on his front, the man not stirring, had they drugged him? Omar grinned again with victory, Heller was good, but he knew he was putting a front up through his daughters earlier confession.
"We will let you have a reunion with your would be son in law, sir," he said tauntingly, grinning with appreciation as he saw Heller's head shoot up shocked with how he spoke of Jack. Audrey looked at him, her mouth open and her eyes red, but neither spoke until their captors had left.
"Audrey?" Heller asked patiently as he squatted down by Jack and checked his pulse, before working on freeing Jacks hands. The wire was tightly cutting into his flesh, he worked it out before snapping the metal and freeing him. He rolled him onto his back as questions rolled through his mind. Audrey was by his side now, gently stroking Jacks face as she apologised to her father.
"I'm sorry dad, Jack wanted to tell you, he felt he was being disloyal to you. I just wanted to make sure we were going somewhere before I told you… I love him dad," she revealed, tears staining her face.
"Okay," he said calmly; he had to forget about this now, it was clouding the situation ahead of him.
He moved away after checking Jack was okay, not being able to ignore the information about his daughter and advisor. More pressing questions forced there way into his mind though; had Jack tried to save them on his own authority or as part of a larger team within CTU? He closed his eyes as he tried to think of a way out of this. Hopefully Jack could help them, but he couldn't deny the fact that Jacks presence may have hampered any escape attempt they could have had.
