Remembrance
Jack Bauer lay down on the soft couch in Bill Buchanan's office. Bill had let him stay there because they knew he had no where else to go. As Jack reflected on the day, his vision started to become hazy. How close he was to dieing, how many people had died, it was all a lot to push out of his mind forever. So as those realizations came to him, he became extremely exousted. His eyelids fluttered shut and he dreamed of better times……..
Jack thanked everyone for their work that day, and allowed them to go home. He walked over to Chase's desk where he still sat, finishing up a file.
"Chase, let me finish that, go on home. Talk to Kim, have a nap," Jack said to him.
"I really need to finish this though, Jack. Chapelle wants-"
"I really don't care what Chapelle wants, Chase." Jack interrupted. "Go home; send in your resignation papers on Monday. Let me finish up here."
"Thanks Jack," They shook hands. "Have a good night"
"You too Chase," Jack watched him go down the stairs and noticed Edgar Stiles, still furiously clacking away at his computer. Jack smiled to himself and descended the stairs.
"Edgar!"
Edgar looked up in surprise. "Yes Jack?"
"What the hell are you still doing here?"
"Uh, just finishing up the debrief files."
"Does anyone know when to stop working around here?" Jack asked more to himself than Edgar. "Let me finish it, go home, plan something, enjoy your life."
"Are you sure?"
"Yeah, see you in 3 days."
"Alright, bye Jack."
"Bye" Edgar left and Jack thought he was alone.
That is, until another visitor came to his office door 15 minutes later.
The knock startled Jack, and he jumped a little. Tony Almeida came in laughing.
"Scared you."
"What? No you didn't! I was, uh, I was,"
"Scared?" Tony suggested.
Jack sighed "You caught me!"
"Well I just wanted to let you know that the After-Action reports are done and I'm heading home."
"I thought I told everyone they could leave 15 minutes ago, why'd you stay?"
"I don't exactly have anywhere else to be right now."
"What about Michelle?"
"She's already home, sleeping probably."
"Alright well, I'll see you later right?"
"Yep, my place at 7, bring Audrey, and don't be late!"
"Alright, see you then"…………………………
A loud noise woke Jack up. His eyes jerked open and right by the door, exactly where he had been in his dream, a pale, slightly transparent Tony stood.
"Tony?" Jack whispered. Tony nodded and smiled. "What are you doing here?"
Tony didn't reply but turned and opened the office door. When Tony took his first step out of the office, he became harder to see. After the third step, Tony was almost completely gone and another figure with curly hair stood next to him.
"Michelle?" Jack whispered in disbelief. She smiled at him, and Tony and her waved, took another step and where completely gone. Jack shook his head and sat up straighter.
When he did, he saw what had woken him up……
The After-Action Report from the day's events was lying on the desk.
