Curtis fired a couple more shots at Henderson, just to make sure. He was not going to let him get away as Jack did. After checking Henderson's pulse, another precaution, he uncuffed his CTU friends.
" Curtis, your mom?" Jack asked, realizing Curtis had put her in danger.
" Henderson was supposed to call to "check in" in 15 minutes. She lives not to far from here, so lets get moving," Curtis informed him, motioning toward the door.
Michelle wondered how the two could go from stopping one dangerous terrorist plot to the next without ever taking a break. Sometimes she really believed they were machines. Jack pulled out his gun from his back pocket, and headed away with Curtis. Curtis removed Henderson's gun from his limp hand, and tossed it to Bill who was already on the move.
" Uh guys, what about us?" Chloe asked, clearly annoyed they were being forgotten.
" Chloe, could you reposition the satellites, and upload the location of Henderson's men to my PDA?" Jack more ordered than asked.
" I'm on it," she replied, rolling her eyes at the fact she never got a break.
With that, the three men were out the door. Michelle wished they had never left for now she was alone with Audrey, the little over protective bitch Jack wanted out of his life.
" So Michelle, do you enjoy being a home wrecker?" Audrey asked.
Apparently there would be no strained small talk before the bombs went off.
" I don't believe I did anything wrong, Audrey. Contrary to your belief, Jack did not fuck me, nor did anything the least bit sexual go on," Michelle countered.
She thought she saw a quick grin from Chloe, but it quickly disappeared. Well, at least she wasn't the only one in this room who had problems with Audrey.
" Hmmm, so Jack left me to just, trade recipes, Michelle?"
" Jack didn't leave you, he decided it was more important to comfort a friend than to feed your ego, Audrey!"
" Oh that's very comforting. I'll take the your word for it when you're the one cheating with him!"
Michelle sighed, almost too tired to respond. What was it with this woman? Did she have any feelings for anyone but herself? She was sick of having to justify herself to her, when she hadn't cheated with Jack anyway. She would just have to accept the fact that Jack had friends. Well, maybe he would break up with her before she learned to accept anything.
Chloe looked up at Michelle, eyes pleading with her to respond. So she was right, Chloe was enjoying it. Well if she had support, one last comment wouldn't hurt…
But before anything could be said, Jack was on the line with Chloe, ready to make the final assault. Audrey and Michelle would have to be allies for just a little longer.
