A/N: I'm sorry that this is not a very interesting title, forgive me, I will try to come up with a better one later. I've made some alterations to this chapter, because I recieved a review (thank you Basicmoista) informing me of a small logic error. Please review, you have no idea how happy review make me...

Disclaimer: If you recognize anything from 24 I (sadly) do not own it. If you recognize anything else (like the personality of your great-aunt) there must be some creepy coincidence. Basically, please don't sue. :)

Day 6
The following takes place from 7:00 AM to 8:00 AM. Berlin, Germany.

The dark haired man pushed back his chair and stood up. The two men across from him stood up as well. One was short, stocky, and fair haired with wide set, dark blue eyes. He stood with his lower jaw thrust out and his eyes narrowed as if thinking. The man across from him reached into the inside pocket of his red coat and handed the man two revolvers. The fair-haired man turned and handed one to the man sitting next to him, his partner. The man who accepted the revolver was about six feet tall with dark hair and eyes. The two men turned back to face the red-coat man.

"Well, you know what to do…," the man said gravely, "everything will work exactly as planned." He continued in a tone which clearly dared the other two men to challenge him.

"Of course, boss." The taller man answered silkily.

"For years, we've lived and planned for this day," red coat man started, "Today Jack Bauer, and the American people, shall be destroyed."

Commercial Break

Chloe O'Brian scowled at the road. She was going to be late. Chloe hated to be late; among her many issues, she had an issue about being late. She arrived promptly at 7:30 at work everyday. She glanced on the clock of the dashboard of her blue Prius: 7:15. Damn. She was going to be late. She bit her lip, and glared at the slow-moving vehicle in front of her. She hit the steering wheel with the heel of her hand. She was so close to CTU; she could almost see Audrey Raines's blue Prius. Chloe had been amused to find out that she and Audrey drove the same kind of car. Go figure. The traffic cleared. Chloe accelerated, and soon she was the only person on the road that led into the city.

Suddenly she slammed her hand against her forehead: she had forgotten both her CTU identification card and her cell phone. She mentally kicked herself for always sliding her CTU card into her flip cell phone. She glanced into her rearview mirror, trying to decide whether to turn around and go back to her apartment. Chloe noticed and black SUV with shaded windows moving coming towards her from behind. She waited for it to pass so she could turn around. Suddenly it swerved so it was next to her and forcer her small car off the road. The last thing Chloe remembered was feeling the wheels of her car lifting off the road as she hurtled over the embankment.

Commercial Break

Audrey Raines squinted at the hourlies from the L.A.P.D. on her computer screen, scanning them for anything that seemed important. She noticed a shadow fall over her and looked up.

"Hey Jack." She smiled into the face of her lover.

"Hey Audrey. Listen, have you seen Chloe anywhere?" Jack asked.

"No," Audrey replied, glanced automatically to Chloe's vacant workstation, "I know that she's always punctual, but she's only five minutes late right now, so she's probably just stuck in some traffic."

"Yeah," Jack said, "well, if you see her, ask her to come find me, I just need to talk about some satellite feed stuff."

"Sure." Audrey promised.

"Thanks." As Jack walked away, Audrey glanced at Chloe's empty workstation again and frowned. It wasn't like Chloe to be late; Audrey didn't like it. She turned back to scan the hourlies, this time looking for any reports of a car crash involving a woman with blondish-brown hair and a blue Prius. It was ironic, Audrey thought, that that sentence described her as much as it described Chloe. For a fleeting second she glanced back at Chloe's empty workstation. Maybe all her years at CTU were catching up with her, maybe she was being paranoid or overreacting, but Audrey didn't like it at all.

Commercial Break

The black SUV skidded to a stop, and two black-clothed men leaped out. The blond-brown haired woman was slumped unconscious over the dashboard of the car.

"Grab her legs." One of her captors ordered. The other man grunted in response and picked up her feet. The other man hauled her up by the arms, and, with a furtive glance around them, dragged her to the waiting black SUV. The doors slammed shut, and captors and captive sped off.

"Jack," Jack turned to find an anxious looking Audrey tapping him on the shoulder.

"Yes?" Jack asked, wondering if Chloe had arrived, and why Chloe wasn't telling him herself, "Is she here?"

"No," Audrey cried, "there's no report of an accident of anything. Jack, do you think something has happened?"

"Don't worry Audrey, she's probably just caught in really heavy rush hour traffic."

"But if she was in traffic, she would call wouldn't she?"

"Well…yeah," Jack admitted, "Look, if she's not here within the hour, I'll have the local police department start searching for her."

"OK." Audrey agreed.

Chloe opened her eyes and immediately wished she hadn't; she had a splitting headache. Gently, she closed her eyes. Then, as if registering what she was seeing, her eyes flew open again. Her eyebrows raised as she took in the sight around her. She seemed to be in a room of some sort with a chicken-wire type fence for a door, in some sort of warehouse or storeroom. And, she swallowed hard, there was a guard with a large gun sitting outside the gate. Everything was slowly coming back to her. CTU…the black SUV…the crash…The guard noticed she was awake and left. He returned with a tall man with dark hair and pale blue eyes.

"I see our guest has woken up." Chloe glared at the man who had spoken, whishing she felt as tough as she was pretending.

"Well, stand up, don't just sit there! Oh, my apologies, you can't…you're bound and gagged." He spoke the whole sentence barley concealing a sarcastic grin. She was indeed bound and gagged, and propped clumsily against the wall.

"You're lover-boy should be on his way to rescue you." The man leered. Chloe choked. She also had noticed that he spoke with a slight German accent. She tried to memorize all of his features so she could tell Jack later. But this man's last comment had startled her: lover-boy? What? Did he know anything about her dismal love life?

"Yes," the man continued, obviously pleased with the effect his words had on Chloe, "your sweetheart Jack Bauer should be walking into this trap soon." Chloe's eyes grew wide with utter confusion.

"Oh don't pretend you don't know what I'm talking about," the man prepared to deliver his final blow, "Ms. Audrey Raines."

Whether you liked it or not, I'd love to hear from you! (hint, hint...Please Review! thank you!)
