A/N: sorry its only a short chapter! ill update again soon promise x

"We go in her place?" Jack asked, somewhat dubious, but admiring the idea that Sophia had come up with. It was risky he gave her that one. "But there's two of us and one of her." Sophia stood shaking her head smiling.

"No, we take the guard with her." Sophia told him. She looked at him intently, and she could see he was considering it. "I'm Rachael Kay, you're her guard. Did he have any identification with him?" She grabbed Rachael's cell phone from her pocket, in case anyone tried to call.

Jack shrugged his shoulders. "No I found nothing, just a weapon."

"Fine. We blag it. Everything. The only thing we know for sure about these people is that they hate America, Rachael knows Francois and she's getting a ride somewhere in a few minutes." Sophia told him. "We can do this, we make everything else up as we go along, we have CTU in our ears and play the rest as it unfolds." She was already picking up his earpiece and his coat.

"Ok, I can see how it could work, but you look nothing like Rachael. They'll kill you." Jack told her. He knew she had an answer for that immediately, he could tell by the look in her eyes. He already knew the answer to that.

"More than one answer to that, Francois'll want to meet the people who were on the brink of destroying his plans, hopefully we'll get to meet him, CTU can triangulate our cells, we get him. If they kill us we still have our cell phones on us, they can still triangulate. Or Rachael had to change her appearance to stop being identified by us. Jack the possibilities are endless – afraid of a little risk all of a sudden?…you doing this with me?" She told him, thinking aloud. She was already leaving. Jack shook his head, he couldn't believe how much he was about to risk on the say so of a practical stranger. He followed her out the room, dialling Tony, letting him know their new plan so that they could start triangulating their cell phones.

They walked out of the hotel and Jack grabbed hold of her hand as they passed Red in reception. "Family emergency" he mouthed to her showing his phone to indicate they had to leave.

"Tony can you send some someone to sort Rachael Kay out, take her back to CTU and tidy the mess we left." He ended the call. They were both stood outside the hotel. She slipped her ring – his ring – off. They were stood outside the hotel looking for a car to pick them both up in their new aliases. She opened Rachael's phone and flicked through the numbers, looking for one that could be Antoine. She did eventually, under 'Antoine Artaud', like the playwright and dialled CTU on her phone.

"Tony, it's Sophia, I got a possible number of Francois, 07852 244 679, put a trace on it. Tony don't worry about us, we'll be fine. Ok see you later." She finished the call quickly. She looked over at Jack. He was watching her and she smiled, he smiled back before looking away quickly.

"How did we find out about the PCP?" she asked quietly, looking out in to te distance.

"The stuff was stolen from a lab in France. They were studying its affects. Anyway, one of the scientists involved was married to Blanc years ago. Under a new identity she gained access to it. Chloe found it apparently." He told her seriously.

"Rachael was a science major…" she muttered before trailing off. "She probably knew exactly what it does. However I'm not her so what exactly does it do?"

"It's drug that makes the brain disassociate from the body, so whatever you do it feels like your watching it from a distance. Last year a girl ate her best friend alive while under the influence…"

"So if released in America or for that matter anywhere," she started.

"We'd have big problems." He finished. He turned and looked at her again. She was a pretty thing. She had tied her hair back in to a ponytail, sometime during the day, when he couldn't remember. Her eyes looked bigger and darker than he could remember seeing. She looked back at him. His blue eyes piercing her thoughts, as her legs turned to jelly. They were interrupted by the sound of a phone. She barely remembered she had Rachael's in that moment. The screen said 'Artaud.'

"Crunch time," she muttered to Jack before picking up. "Oui." She knew her French wasn't amazing, she just had to pass it off with Francois.

"Why speak in French? Blend in baby," Francois purred down the phone at her.

"Where's the car?" she asked back.

"Should be pulling up any minute now. Don't worry, about Bauer and the girl we had contingency plans." He told her, her intrigue got the better of her.

"Oh yeah, Like what baby?" she answered, laying the sex on.

"We got his daughter…Kimberley. We got her kids too…Phoebe and Joscelyn. When this day is through it won't matter that they are currently orphans. Jack and Sophia's deaths were probably a blessing in disguise. We now have test runs for the specimen."
