Chapter 2
(Meanwhile, Chloe and her team have arrived at the donut shop)
Chloe: (scowls) Well at least Jack only managed to kill one person… the cashier in all likelihood. Others sustained minimal wounds and are mostly traumatized by the whole thing.
CTU agent: Ms. O'Brian, we have a lady here that witnessed the whole thing and even spoke to Jack.
(CTU agent points to a woman sitting in the far corner)
Chloe: Well what happened?
Woman: I came here with my four year old son to buy him a chocolate donut because he got an A on his math test today. All of a sudden this madman bursts through the door with a gun and demands donuts. He said something about 'millions of people' dying if he didn't get his donuts. Then his phone rang and he spoke to someone he knew. He was talking all paranoid to her and the cashier tried to get away, but he saw him and opened fire; it was horrible…
Chloe: That sounds like Jack to me, where is your son now?
Woman: That's the thing; he took my son and claimed he was a terrorist! All because my son asked why he had shot the cashier. They took off in a black van heading north.
Chloe: Oh crap. (Dials cell phone) Yeah, Bill? Jack has a hostage… a four year old child… no, I don't think it's too late for him… CURTIS, that's NOT wishful thinking! Get Curtis out here and send out a report to all patrol cars to look for a black van heading north on Rosalie Street.
(Meanwhile in a black van that Jack "borrowed" from the deceased cashier)
Jack: WHO DO YOU WORK FOR?
Kid: WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!
Jack: WHO IS THIS WAA? TELL ME!
Kid: WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!
Jack: TELL ME NOW OR I'LL BREAK YOUR FREAKIN' ARM!
Kid: (sniffle) I don't know what you're talking about, Mister. (sniffle) I want my donut and my mommy! WAA-
(Jack cuts the kid's sentence off by slamming a hand over his mouth. He leans in real close to the kid and stares him straight in the eye)
Jack: I'm going to be civil with you because you're only a baby terrorist... Now I'll ask again, slowly, and nicely… Where can I find this Waa?
(Jack removes his hand from the kid's mouth)
Kid: There is no W-
Jack: WHERE IS HE DAMNIT? TELL ME NOW OR I'LL SEE TO IT THAT YOUR ENTIRE FAMILY IS-
Kid: McDonalds! You can find him at McDonalds…
(Jack leans back with a look of satisfaction)
Jack: (To himself) Everyone has a breaking point… (To the kid) You see how easy that was?
Kid: I want to go h-
Jack: YOU'RE COMING WITH ME TO SEE THIS WAA! IF I CAN'T FIND HIM AT MCDONALDS THEN YOU'RE A DEAD BABY TERRORIST! YOU HEAR ME? A DEAD ONE!
(Jack speeds down the road towards the nearest McDonalds while blinking away the image of the yellow letters saying 08:30:00)
(Meanwhile at CTU. Curtis walks into the holding cell)
Curtis: Tony it's been thirty minutes, how long does it take to determine-
(Curtis stops his sentence short and just stares at Tony and Lynn clutching their respective doll and Frisbee and stroking them)
Tony: Don't worry Curtis; Lynn is perfectly capable of handling any crisis we go through today. Me and Michelle are going to- Hey what are you do-
(Tony's sentence is cut short by Curtis closing the cell door on him and locking it)
Curtis: Is ANYONE sane here?
(Audrey runs up to Curtis)
Audrey: Curtis you're needed in the field. Jack escaped from a donut shop with a hostage and he's already killed someone.
Curtis: I'm needed in the field? How odd. Why wasn't I notified sooner?
Audrey: You didn't answer your cell phone.
Curtis: (remembers) Oh, right. Damnit, where's Edgar with my new cell phone?
(Edgar is still lying under the desk where he died last season)
Edgar: …..
Audrey: I'll get your phone for you, Curtis. You get out on the streets where you're needed.
Curtis: Thank you Audrey, at least someone's still on task. Watch over Edgar for me, Audrey. He's behind on his work and if this new season has similar twists like the last ones, then he may have a hidden agenda.
Audrey: Well he has been spending a lot of time under that desk… I'll look into it Curtis, now go.
Curtis: I'm on it!
(Curtis grabs cell phone from Audrey and runs toward the door)
(Meanwhile at McDonalds)
Shady Man #1: The plan is in motion, yes?
Shady Man #2: Yes, but Bauer still lives. The beeps must have warned Bauer before our assassin could get his shot off.
Shady Man #1: Indeed, those beeps have been quite a nuisance since season one.
Shady Man #2: Next season let's make sure Bauer wears ear muffs at all times… maybe then he won't hear the beeps and will be off guard.
Shady Man #1: Brilliant idea! Soon this country will pay for their interference in our conquest!
Cashier: Uh… So is that a medium or a large…?
(The shady men just look at the cashier, then at each other and nod in unison)
Both Shady Men: Large.
(The shady men pay for their food and join Shady Man #3 and another man at the booth next to the window)
Shady Man #3: Good, now that we have our food, allow me to introduce our leader to you two.
(The man removes his hood and the other two shady men gasp)
Shady Man #1 and #2: Marwon?
Marwon: Yes, it is I, Habib Marwon!
Shady Man #1: But I thought you died at the end of last season?
Marwon: Nonsense!
(Marwon shoots Shady Man #1 from under the table, and he drops his head to the table with a thump. No one else in McDonalds seems to notice)
Marwon: Now you know how serious I am…
Shady Man #2: We never questioned how dedicated-
Marwon: Silence!
(Marwon shoots Shady Man #2 from under the table, and he drops his head to the table with a thump like Shady Man #1. Again, no one seems to notice)
Shady Man #3: We lose far too many subordinates that way, Marwon. You're very wasteful.
Marwon: I do what must be done; I spare every shred of loyal support. You're still around aren't you?
(Marwon gets up and throws out the remainder of his chicken nuggets)
Shady Man #3: (mumbles) Wasteful…
(Meanwhile on the road)
Jack: WHAT IS THIS EXPLOSIVE DEAL YOU SPEAK OF? SPEAK TO ME YOU TERRORIST!
Telemarketer: Sir, calm down. I don't mean literally explosive, I just mean it's a good deal- Did you call me a terrorist-
Jack: WHERE IS THE BOMB?
Telemarketer: Bomb? Sir you need a psych-
Jack: I DON'T AFFILIATE MYSELF WITH TERRORISTS! (Ignore the fact that Jack has been involved with terrorists for every single season)
(Jack hangs up the cell phone)
Jack: WAS THAT ONE OF WAA'S CRONIES? HOW DID HE GET MY NUMBER?
Kid: I don't know who he was; my mommy calls random people who call the house and try to sell you things "Assholes".
(Jack stops at a red light near a school where a bunch of children are playing outside for recess. The kid in the car spots someone on the playground and waves)
Kid: Hi Markus!
Jack: MARKUS? WHO IS HE? DOES HE WORK FOR WAA TOO?
Kid: He's my friend, Markus. And there's Mike, and Dave, and Greg, and Ricky, and I know all of them! Hi you guys!
(Kid waves to all his friends. Jack swerves the steering wheel and drives up the curb onto the playground)
Kid: What are you do-
Jack: You friends with all these kids? Would you say you're "co-workers"?
(Jack gets out of the van and stares at all the kids)
Kid: They're my friends… I wouldn't call them my co-
Jack: DON'T TRY BACKING OUT OF IT NOW!
(Jack pulls out his gun and aims at the kids)
Jack: GET IN THE VAN!
(5 minutes later, Jack is driving off towards McDonalds with 15 kids stuffed in the van)
Kid #1: I'm hungry.
Kid #2: I'm tired.
Kid #3: I'm sad.
Kid #4: I'm bored.
Kid #5: I'm-
Jack: SHUT UP! QUIET ALL OF YOU! GOD DAMNIT! YOU TERRORISTS ARE EXCELLENT AT TORTURE!
Kid #6: I need to pee.
Kid #7: I did pee.
Kid #8: I like pie
Kid #9: I wish my mommy and daddy still loved each other-
Jack: QUIET ALL OF YOU! SHUT UP! WE'RE CLOSE TO THE TARGET!
(Jack turns left onto the next block and a McDonalds comes into view)
Jack: Ah, there it is… Soon Waa will be…
(Jack trails off as the massive arches come into view and with it come the words: "Over 99 million sold". Jack's eyes widen and his pupils dilate)
Jack: Mil… milli…
(Jack's eyes grow wider still and his grip on the steering wheel tightens. The veins in his forehead pulsate and a dramatic opera theme plays)
Jack: Milli… millions…
Kid #15: Hey are you ok Mister-
Jack: MILLIONS OF PEOPLE! GAAAAAAAAAAH! MILLIONS OF MILLIONS OF MILLIONS OF MILLIONS OF PEOPLE!
(Jack swerves the steering wheel and goes up the curb heading straight for the McDonalds window)
Kids: AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
Jack: GAAAAAAAAAAH! MILLIONS!
(The van shatters through the window of the McDonalds and slams on its side as it slides into the cash registers, creating spark that set women's sun dresses on fire. Jack dives out of the van door and pulls out his gun)
Jack: WHERE IS WAA? SHOW YOURSELF-
(Jack stops mid sentence as he looks over at the booth by the shattered window and sees a familiar face staring back at him with surprise)
Jack and Marwon: YOU!
