Chapter 10

Jack sprinted in. "Bill!" He said breathlessly "I think Audrey has been kidnapped."

"What!? When" Bill replied stunned.

"I called her a minute ago and she said that she was going for a walk in the park and that she hated me."

Bill sighed "Jack, she could hate you. I mean its been 2 years for you two. That doesn't mean that she has been kidnapped".

Jack yelled "Bill, you don't understand before i went Audrey, Luke Bryon and I had an argument and it ended with Audrey claiming she loved me and besides Bill since when does Audrey take walks in the park!"

Bill nodded "Alright Jack, We need to make this our top priority. I'll inform her father and i want you to inform Mr Bryon."

Jack cut him off " Bill i don't think that is a good idea. We don't know if he is part of it yet?"

"Fine" Bill said.

Jack walked out the door to Chloe's desk. "Chloe, listen i need you to pull up everything you can on Luke Bryon."

"Okay. But Jack what is the rush?" she asked curiously.

"I think Audrey's been kidnapped."

"Oh my god! And you think Luke has something to do with it?"

"No, I don't know, Chloe just do it okay."

"Okay, okay give me five minutes."

Jack went back to his office, why had he left Audrey? Why had he been so stupid? Audrey was in danger yet again and it was his fault.

Bunk House-L.A

The van came to a halt. Audrey was grabbed roughly by the arms and dragged inside before she could get a glimpse at where she was. She glanced around the room. It was dark and shabby, the paint on the walls were cracking and the floorboards were made of wood.

"Sit here" the man commanded, pulling up a chair.

Audrey obeyed and sat down.

"Wh..What are you going to do to me?" she asked terrified at what the answer may be.

"Nothing, if you behave. We just have to wait for-"

"Simon! Thats enough! We don't want to tell her who wants her dead, quite yet."

Hearing the words, Audrey started panicking. "Please.. Don't.I'll do anything.. I swear..Ple.."

"SHUT UP!" John yelled, making Audrey jump "Just shut the hell up!"

Audrey did as she was told. Her mind was racing, who would want her dead? Did Jack understand her code? Or was he too busy to care for her anymore? Then a thought struck Audrey, she knew who wanted her dead. She knew who was behind the kidnapping and she couldn't believe it.

The phone rang bringing Jack from his daydream. "Bauer"

"Jack, its Chloe, you better come down here i've got a lead."

"Good work Chloe i'm on my way".

Jack made his way down to Chloe. "What have you got for me?"

"This Jack, you need to listen to this. It was a call made just minutes before Audrey was abducted."

Jack listened "Damn it. Right I'll inform Secretary Heller. I want you to print all of this out and put it into a folder for me. Have you done a voice clarification yet?"

"Yeah Jack and it comes up with a 98 Match"

Without another word Jack turned and returned to his office to call Heller...
