"Who's this?" The irritation came through in Tony's voice the moment he had entered the conference room and seen Jack talking to some random woman who he was certain did not work for the government.

"This is Jennifer Wilde; has Chase called in yet?"

"Please excuse us Miss. Wilde," Tony said politely, smiling at her as Jack left the room frowning. She saw the look of frustration leave the other mans face as soon as he turned away; she sniggered to herself, Jack was in trouble for something.

Tony led Jack into the second conference room next door and slammed the door shut.

"You wanna tell me what the hell is going on here?"

Ignoring him Jack picked up the phone and dialled Chases extension number, telling him to meet him in room C01 as soon as possible. Tony was furious.

"Damn it Jack are you gonna let me in on this! I'm your superior for Christ's sake, would it kill you to show me some respect?"

Jack looked down at the floor for a moment, feeling slightly bad for cutting Tony out. But he also felt annoyed that the man was once again trying to demonstrate his power. It still angered him that he was taking orders from somebody who had been just a small fish in his pond just over a year ago. It was belittling, and although it wasn't Tony's fault he couldn't help but do things his own way, sure he knew better.

Looking up he decided to be civil so he could get on with his work as soon as possible.

"I'm sorry Tony but this is moving fast. I need to finish speaking with that woman in the next room, then I'll brief you, okay?"

He could see that it wasn't okay but Tony nodded anyway, knowing better than to go against Jack. If he kept confronting him Jack would shut down and then he'd never know what half of his staff were up to.

"Chase this is Jennifer Wilde, Miss. Wilde this is Chase Edmunds, he will be working directly with us."

"Hi," she said shakily, she still couldn't believe her brother was dealing with terrorists but the more time she spent with Jack the more convinced she was.

Jack turned away to speak with Chase.

"Chase - I want you to check with Chloe on how deep she is into the money flow. Now Tore is dead she doesn't need to be as discreet - tell her I want her to throw herself into this - Tores the money man, we find where his money was going, we can cut off all ties."

"Yeah, financially, but Wilde named the four founders. What about the other three?"

Jack looked down, pleased with Chase's ability to think the situation through so easily. A small smile covered his face but it betrayed the slight pinch of worry he was feelings. "I'm going to get that information."

The look of confusion told him to continue, "I'm going to use Wilde."

The grin on Chase's face turned to curiosity, "but how? Wilde's wide open man, he's told us everything. He's of no more use to us."

Jennifer sat quietly listening carefully to the two men as they spoke about her brother. She was as curious as Chase, Jack hadn't told her how she could help him yet. She was sure she would find out soon, as the two men continued there discussion.

Jack knew he could bring Chase in on this, so he decided to tell him what only a few people inside CTU would learn. "Wilde will take me to him."

"How? You're taking Wilde with you on surveillance?" It was a strange tactic, Chase knew nothing would come of it; surely this couldn't be Jacks plan?

"No. I'm going undercover."

Chase knew better than to question him despite the absurdity of the statement. The look in his eyes was focused, his facial expression deadly serious.

"Okay, but how are you going to make Wilde co-operate." Chase sighed as he paced the room, even Jennifer was getting frustrated with Jacks unwillingness to be forthcoming with details. Chase held his hands out, making Jack smile again, before giving up more details of his plan.

"Miss. Wilde's going to make sure he co-operates."

Jennifer stayed silent as she began to piece the information together.

Finally understanding Chase shook her head in disbelief, "Jack this is still too dangerous, so much could go wrong."

"Well we'll have to make sure that there are no mistakes, we only get one shot at this, which is why I'm only bringing a few people in on this; people who I can trust not to screw up."

Chase laughed feeling the tension ease a little as Jack flattered him, "you know Tony will never sign off on this…"

Now it was Jacks turn to snicker, "Tony's not going to know about this."
