Author's Note: Don't own 24. This chapter is Jass's, I just edited.


"Come on, Fauve." Chloe nearly hissed. The Hawaiian was still thrashing about, trying to escape Chloe's grip and get back to the small group of Chloe's fellow workers.

"Nuh ah, I wanna talk to him." She pulled harder, causing them both to momentarily lose their balance.

"Knowing you, you'll kill him first." Was the petite analyst's retort, and Fauve paused for a minute, thinking about it, before nodding her head and stating, "Yup." Chloe groaned.

"Come on, we're going to miss our plane."

"So? I think it'd be worth it."

Buchanan, Audrey, and Jack were watching the whole episode from a safe distance of several feet away. Audrey snapped out of her shock first, and then turned away and muttered, loud enough that only Jack could hear, "I always knew there was something wrong with her." Jack glared at her.

Buchanan sighed and began to follow them, determined on figuring out what the hell was happening, when Jack stopped him.

"Bill, I'll go." He pried his arm away from Audrey, who seemed somewhat insulted.

"But Jack," she whined, crossing her arms. "We have work."

"It'll only take a minute," he assured, and then hurried after the two short women who had already left the building, one of which was still fighting like mad to get free. It wasn't hard to follow them, either: the young woman that Chloe was dragging was making enough fuss that half of LA could hear them.

"But Chloe!" The woman whined, to no avail. She was still being dragged by the blonde. Chloe had released her midriff, however, and was now simply pulling her by the arm. "I want my pound of flesh. You can have him back after I'm finished." It didn't take Jack long to figure out who 'Him' was.

Chloe grunted. "Murder is illegal," she snapped. The other woman huffed, and Chloe stopped. "Come on, Fauve. The whole point in your little kidnapping was to get me AWAY from Jack, right?" Fauve muttered a dark affirmative. "Therefore keeping me around him would defeat the purpose of this vacation."
