Jack headed away from the factory on foot, he had taken a ride with Chase to the bar so his car was still in the lot at CTU. Taking large strides across the street Jack pulled out his cell, then thought better and slid it back inside his pocket. He hurried over another busy road and headed towards the store that was signposted along the way. Flicking through his wallet he smiled when he saw he had some money on him. He didn't have the time to stop off at the bank.
Stepping out of the store Jack put his wallet away before throwing the bag containing the clothes given to him by the Wilkes brothers into a dumpster and jogging away. Pulling his cell out of his new jeans he called Chases cell and after okaying his condition and confirming that he was okay he gave Chase directions to where he was and waited.
Chase was there in no time and Jack hopped in ordering the younger agent to take them straight to CTU.
"So what happened?" Chase asked as he concentrated on the road.
"I'm in. I'm being contacted tomorrow."
"How?"
"They gave me a cell."
Chase spun his head round and Jack spoke quickly, "its turned off. I took it apart - its just an ordinary cell. They don't suspect a thing."
"Good," Chase said, before adding in a slightly softer tone, "Jack, Wilde was killed in the raid."
"Right," Jack whispered, his head turning to face the window as his eyes filled with guilt. The man had been involved in terrorist activities but he still felt accountable for the pain Jennifer would experience when she realised her brother was dead.
Chase knew better than to ignite conversation so he drove in silence until his cell rang. He answered the call on speaker so Jack could hear too, after seeing the from caller I.D. that is was Chloe calling him.
"Edmunds," he said as he clipped his cell onto the holder.
"I got it - real time - found Jack with a suspect just three blocks from the bar. I'm watching it now, its an hour behind, but you can trace their footsteps."
"I'm here Chloe," Jack said grinning at the shocked response they herd down the line.
"Chase I had to get Tony to sign off on this you could have called to save me the annoyance," she growled.
"He just called five minutes ago Chloe relax okay."
"Yeah sure," she sniped sarcastically, "I guess you're right, Tony's not after me anyway, I told him I was working under your authority." She paused, before adding, "you're not too far out are you, because I'd love to hear you explain to Tony how you ruined a police raid and killed a suspect…"
"Shut up Chloe," Chase snapped, quickly ending the call.
"Relax Chase," Jack said seeing how frustrated the man was, "Chloe's just being Chloe," he laughed, "and I've got Tony under control too," he added with a mysterious smirk. Chase just shook his head and continued to drive, sometimes it was better to be kept out of the loop.
