Hey, sorry not posted in a while. Here is Part 2 of the story. Please read and review.
12:00PM
Mandy looked on as the ambulance drove away carrying Jack Bauer. She brought out her phone and dialled in a number.
"It's Mandy. Jack Bauer is being brought to the L.A General Hospital along with Audrey Raines."
The person on the other end hung up without saying a word. Mandy expected it and placed her phone back into her trousers.
She looked down at the doctor she had taken from the scene of the exploded CTU and put 2 bullets into his head with a silenced gun.
She hoped onto her motorbike and started her drive back to her house, where a surprise for Jack Bauer was waiting.
12:05
Jack stirred slightly and looked over to see Audrey placed on the bed next to him.
"Who's that?" he asked gruffly.
"Don't worry, its Secretary of Defence James Heller's daughter," replied Kate.
"Are you sure?" Jack asked, just making sure it wasn't a member of Scorned.
"Yes," Kate said plainly, too tired and too depressed to even think.
She stared out the front window, her eyes slowly drifting into sleep.
Chloe had already fallen asleep and it was only Jack that remained awake.
He pulled himself up and thought about the events of the day. Kim's death, the attacks on Palmer, him blowing a bullet into Nina's head. The image of Nina's cold, dead body never left his mind.
Audrey began to stir and awoke startled.
"Hey, it's ok, we're on the way to the hospital," Jack calmly said to her.
She rubbed her bloodshot eyes and coughed violently.
"I need to speak to my husband," she coughed.
The coughing had awakened Chloe and she passed a phone to Audrey, who dialled in Paul's number. She waited for an answer while wiping some blood from her lip.
"Hello," came an answer.
"Paul, it's Audrey," she replied.
"Audrey! Thank God, I saw the news and knew you were at CTU at the time. Where are you now?"
"I'm in the ambulance, on the way to the hospital. I think my leg's broken and I've suffered some other serious injuries,"
"Oh Audrey, what hospital are they taking you to?"
"I'm not sure, hold on," she brought the phone down to her chest. "What hospital are we going to?" she asked the 3 people in the ambulance with her.
"L.A General," Jack answered.
"Thanks. Paul, it's the L.A General,"
"I'm leaving the house right now, don't worry I'll be there as soon as possible," he said.
Audrey began to cry slightly.
"Please do, I'm so scared Paul and…"
"Don't be, everything is going to be fine. I love you Audrey,"
"I love you to," she lied.
"Hold on in there, I'll see you at the hospital,"
"Ok, be quick,"
"I will. Bye."
Paul hung up and left Audrey crying.
Her and Paul's relationship had become rocky over the past months and just hearing him say "I love you," made her realise that she didn't love him back.
Jack passed her a tissue and she blew into it.
"Thanks," she said while wiping her tears.
"Is everything alright with you and your husband?" Jack asked.
"Well, they could be better but what relationship isn't complicated these days?"
Kate twitched slightly and looked over at Jack, thinking about Audrey's words and realising that her relationship with Jack was very complicated.
She felt like she was always in danger and as she thought about last nights events, she knew she could have been killed.
The ambulance slowed down and then came to a complete stop.
An array of doctors and agents sent by James Heller opened the doors and took Jack, Audrey, Kate and Chloe into the hospital.
12:20
David Palmer looked out at the view from his seaside cottage and felt calm inside.
"President Palmer, you really should be resting," suggested his assistant Lea Perry.
Palmer turned from the view to face her.
"Thank you Lea. Where are Nicole and Keith?"
"Mr Palmer told me to tell you that he's taken them out for the day so you can have some peace,"
David smiled and nodded. "Ok, then rest I shall,"
He walked over to the couch and sat, allowing himself to fall under his comfy spell. He rested his head down and closed his eyes, falling straight into sleep.
Lea left the room and entered the study to continue her work. Her walkie talkie suddenly rang and she picked up.
"Perry, it's Carlton, Mike Novick is here to see the President," agent Carlton told her.
"President Palmer is currently resting; can he not come back later?"
"He says it's urgent and he needs to talk to him now,"
Lea sighed. "Fine, send him in," she gave in.
She clicked 3 buttons and the front door opened.
2 agents came in followed by Mike.
Lea walked over and gently pushed Palmer's shoulder.
"I'm sorry Mr President, Mike Novick is here,"
Palmer pulled himself, wincing slightly as the pain was still fresh.
"Its fine,"
"Can I get you anything?" Lea asked.
"A glass of water please Lea," Palmer answered.
She walked out of the room and Mike entered.
"Can I get you anything?" Lea asked Mike before she left.
"No, I'm fine, thanks," Mike answered.
He walked over to where Palmer sat.
"I'm glad you're alright President Palmer," Mike sincerely said.
"Thank you Mike. So what brings you here?"
Mike took a minute to tell him, and then finally said it.
"It's John Keeler's wife, Catherine. She was involved in today's attacks."
Palmer was taken aback and tried to think things through before saying anything to Mike.
"Where is she just now?"
"She was found dead, believed to be shot by a Daniel Jackson, a dangerous terrorist also behind these attacks, according to our contact,"
Palmer shook his head, laying his head in his hands.
"What about Jackson, where is he?"
"He was also killed sir, along with Nina Myers and Carly Mammonds, the woman in charge of Scorned and who done most of the planning,"
"How do you know all this Mike? Who is the contact?"
"A CTU agent named Chase Edmunds. He was kidnapped by the group and was told everything," Mike replied, beginning to circle the room.
"This is so much to take in Mike. You do realise if there are other members of this Scorned group, they won't hesitate to attack again. Whatever there plans, the death of the main members will not stop them,"
Meanwhile in the kitchen Lea placed a white tablet into Palmer's water, watching it fizz and smiling at the same time. She took it through to where Palmer and Mike were and placed the glass on the table.
"Thank you Lea," Palmer said, picking up the glass and putting it to his lips.
"No!" Mike shouted, grabbing the glass out of Palmer's hand and watching it smash onto the carpet as he threw it.
"What…"
"It was drugged, look!" Mike said while pointing at the white fizz still bubbling from the carpet.
Palmer looked at the fizzed carpet and then at Lea.
"I'm sorry Mr President, you were paying me lots, Scorned pays me more,"
12:30
Kevin turned from the TV as his door was knocked.
A FBI agent entered.
"Master Keller, your friend Paula is here,"
"Thanks Dick, send her up," Kevin asked.
Agent Dick Moray nodded and left.
A few minutes later he returned with Paula.
"Hey," Kevin greeted her and hugged her.
He shut the door and then kissed her.
"I've missed you so much," Kevin said, still hugging her.
"Hey, I'm here now. Everything's going to be ok,"
She patted his hair and stroked his cheek.
"You're the only one I can speak to,"
"What about your father?"
"Unless you forgot after getting taken here by 12 agents and all the security, he's the president. He doesn't have time for me."
Paula looked horrified and hugged him tighter. "That's no excuse, your mother died today, not to mention his wife. He shouldn't be doing anything but being with you. You shouldn't have to call your gorgeous girlfriend to make things better," Paula said, making Kevin smile and even laugh slightly.
"That's why I called you, you can make me laugh," he stopped smiling and then began to cry into Paula's shoulder.
Agent Moray stood outside the door, listening intently. His partner, Leila Dakota, turned the corner and frowned at him.
"What the hell are you doing?" she asked.
Agent Moray shushed her and continued listening. She walked up and Agent Moray typed a message into his phone and then showed it to her.
The message read:
PAULA IS KEVINS GIRLFRIEND AND HE IS DEPRESSED ABOUT NOT TALKING TO KEELER, SHOULD WE TELL HIM?
Agent Dakota shook her head and whispered, "If he knew we were listening to his sons conversation we would get fired now move quickly, we need to secure the area."
Agent Moray nodded and then suddenly grabbed Leila's face and silently broke her neck.
"Sorry, but I think we should tell him,"
12:40
Curtis looked around at the remains of CTU.
Everything was a shambles.
Rocks everywhere, dead bodies, the injured being interviewed by news casters; it disgusted him.
His phone began to vibrate and he picked it up.
"Agent Manning,"
"Curtis, it's Mila, you've got to come quickly, he's here," Curtis's sister screamed down the phone.
"What? Who?"
"Dillon, he's back. He's banging the door down and he's threatening to kill me. Curtis please, he's not joking,"
"Calm down, I'll be there as quickly as I can but you have to phone the police,"
"I already have but they haven't arrived. I think…I think he's killed them,"
"Right, stay on the phone I'm on my way,"
"Ok, but please hurry Curtis please, arghhh!"
The phone went dead after Mila's screams echoed through the phone.
"Mila? Mila? DAMMIT!" Curtis shouted, phoning his sister back.
It rang out.
Curtis grabbed his gun and ran towards a car.
Neville Flanders saw Curtis running and shouted out, "Agent Manning, where are you going?"
"My sister is in trouble, I need to help her," he shouted back, jumping into a car and driving off.
Neville went up to a computer analyst.
"Mari, can you find me where Curtis Manning's sister lives and get it fast,"
12:45
Jack was awoken as his hospital door was knocked and Kate entered.
"Hey, how you doing?"
Jack nodded, "Yeah, I'm good thanks. What about you?"
Kate walked over and sat next to Jack's bed.
"They're letting me out early, they said probably tomorrow."
"That's great. I'm not sure how long they'll keep me, I've still to get an operation on my throat and liver isn't to good either,"
Kate smiled slightly with tears in her eyes. "Listen, Jack I'm sorry but…"
She was interrupted as a nurse entered with Jack's next batch of medicine.
"Can we talk later?"
Kate nodded. "Yeah sure, I'll come back later,"
She left the room, wishing she had just said it.
Jack lay back as the nurse changed his blood pack.
Jack turned his head slightly and noticed that the nurse had a gun in a holder under her jacket.
He fiddled about with his hand, trying to grab something on the table next to him.
Sure enough the nurse pulled out her gun and aimed at Jack ready to shoot.
Jack was quicker and twisted round in his bed and kicked the gun out of her hand.
He grabbed a needle and tried to stab her. She pulled out a knife and slashed Jack's arm. She tried to go for his neck but Jack blocked it with the needle. Jack pushed her up against the wall, desperately trying to get her to drop the gun. She kneed him and pushed him into the window. The window smashed and Jack fell out, grabbing onto a metal light and hanging for his life. The nurse slashed the knife and cut into Jack's fingers, making him lose his grip. He just about let go when a gunshot was fired and blood spurted out the nurse's stomach.
The nurse slumped down and Kate ran over to the window to pull Jack up.
"Are you ok? She asked, pulling Jack up back into the room.
"Scorned won't stop until I'm dead. Nina will have warned them about me, they won't give up" he wheezed, fighting for breath and blood.
Little did they know the nurse was still alive.
She lashed out another time from the ground and cut Kate's ankle.
Kate fell and smacked her head on the bedpost.
The gun slid across the room and Jack made a run for it.
The nurse pulled herself up and went over to Kate. She pulled her up and held the knife to her throat.
Jack had the gun but then dropped it again at the nurse's orders.
"I'm getting out of here Mr Bauer, but this is not the last you'll see of me," she said, while slowly cutting the blade into Kate's throat.
"If you kill her, I will kill you,"
The nurse smiled, and was ready to slit Kate's throat.
