Chapter 4

"Doyle have you got Jack" Nadia asked

"Yeah I have got him we are heading back now but he wants to speak with Audrey." Doyle exclaimed while looking at Jack.

Jack however, was not listening to what Doyle had to say and frankly he didn't care. All that was on his mind at the moment was Audrey. It was his fault that she had gone looking for him in China. He had told her he would be right back and ended up disappearing for a year.

"How far out are we?" Jack asked

"About thirty minutes" Doyle said without staring at him.

To make time pass Jack closed his eyes and thought back to the last time he had seen Audrey. He remembered the day vaguely. Jack remembered how he had gone up to her office while she had been interviewing Diane.

He reached her office window and looked at her, she was a little thinner than he remembered and her hair was shorter and more blonde. But still she had never looked sexier or beautiful. All Jack wanted to do was to go in there, gather her in his arms and kiss her. He knew that he couldn't though, for all he knew she could have another lover. The thought of another man touching her made Jack cringe. That when she looked up and gazed at him first shocked at seeing him alive and then replaced by a tender, loving look. It was then when Jack knew she hadn't been seeing anyone but he regretted coming up. Jack turned around, smiled at Diane, who was now wondering what had exactly gone on between these to, and walked away. He heard her door opening and her running up to him.

"Jack "she shouted.

He didn't know why but just hearing her call his name sent tingles around his body. He stopped and turned around to look at her.

"Hey" he said.

There was and awkward silence. "I don't even know what to say" Jack said affectionately.

She moved closer to him; "Jack, I never forgave myself for what I said to you that day, I owe you an apology". Audrey said softly, looking into his eyes. God, she had missed being in his arms. She missed the secure feeling of being wrapped up in them.

"You don't owe me anything, I killed Paul, and you had every right to hate me" Jack replied " I .."

"shh" Audrey said tenderly, placing her finger on his lips. She moved in closer, her hands were resting on his chest.

"I never thought I would get the chance to tell you this.. But I want you to know that I don't blame you for Paul's death and I…" she hesitated.

"you what" Jack said encouraging her to go on. He put his hands around her waist, drawing her even closer to him.

"I still love you" she answered looking into his eyes and then added quickly "but I understand if you don't feel the same or if you're with Diane now I mean she seems.."

This time it was Jack who cut her off by gently kissing her. Audrey was stunned at first and then came to her senses and kissed him back, slipping her tongue inside his mouth. Jack let out a moan and immediately responded. The kiss became more passionate, they were re-exploring common territory. They finally stopped, catching their breaths.

Jack muttered " I love you too and I never stopped loving you, not for one second.."

Audrey pressed against him kissing him harder and more urgently. She wanted him now and didn't care if they were in the middle of crisis.

"Jack, why don't we continue this is my office" .Audrey said seductively.

Jack smiled " I would love to, but aren't you forgetting Diane is in there."

"Damn it" she whispered, "why don't I ask her to leave".

"Audrey.." Jack smiled at her.

She looked at him with her puppy eyes. He just smirked. Seeing that she was getting no where Audrey moved up against him, kissing his neck and moving her hand lower.

Jack groaned " okay, okay you win"

Giving him a mischievous smile, she walked off to her office to tell Diane that she was wanted on the floor to be interviewed by someone else.

Jack entered her office moments later. The blinds were already closed, so he stepped in and locked the door. Jack had missed Audrey being in his arms.

"Come here" he said.

Kissing her passionately, Jack undid her shirt and brought her to the couch, kissing one another as they fell. She took his shirt off ad kissed his chest. Jack moved his hands up her skirt. She gasped as he removed it and kissed and licked the top of her panties. Audrey reached her hand down and unfastened his trousers. Rubbing him over his boxers. Jack moaned. She removed his boxers while he removed her panties, kissing her and teasing her with his tongue.

Jack looked up at her; "are you ready?" he asked her.

In between breaths she whispered "yeah"

After that waves of pleasure overwhelmed both of them as they became one.

Jack opened his eyes abruptly. "Jack we are here okay" Doyle said.

"I want to go see Audrey now, you have to let me see her" Jack proclaimed.

"I'm sorry Jack, but I can't do that, I'm under orders."

Jack glared at Doyle and then went with the security guards to holding room 2. Jack sat back in his chair, watching the clock as the minutes passed by. It was then when he heard one of the security guards talk;

"Did you hear what they are going to do to Ms Raines if she doesn't talk."

"No" the other guard replied "what?"

"They are apparently going to shock her out of the state but there is a high chance that she might die if something goes wrong." "CTU have brought in some super psychological doctor to do it".

Hearing this Jack knew he had to escape. He couldn't let them to do this to her, he wouldn't allow it, not again. She had already suffered enough as it was. It was then when a plan started to form inside his head.
