Jack dialed the Secretary's number. He was going to hate this but it had to be done.
"James Heller"
"Mr Secretary, its Jack Bauer. Listen I'm sorry about what happened to Audrey. It was my fault." he said shamefully.
"Jack how was it your fault? You had no idea that this was going to happen to Audrey. No one did. Now what did you call me for?"
"Sir I believe we have the person who is behind the abduction. This is a call we intercepted moment before Audrey was kidnapped".
Jack hit the play button:
"How Far out are you"
"About two minutes, sir don't worry we just saw Mr Bauer drive off"
"Alright. Call me when you have her."
"Yes Sir"
--
"Jack is that who i think it is?"
Jack paused "Yes Sir, that's Luke Bryon. We haven't been able to identify the other voice yet"
"Oh My God Jack. Why would Like do that? He and Audrey were once a couple and now he want to kill her?"
"Sir we have a couple of motives the first being that i before Audrey was kidnapped... well you see the three of us had an argument and Audrey told Luke she hated him.. and the second motive we have is it appears that Luke has recently got in the habit of gambling and he owes a lot of people an enormous amount of money."
"I see. So you think he will ask for money in exchange for Audrey's life?"
"Yes sir i do".
"Alright Jack do what you can to bring this Bastard down."
"I will" and with that the call ended.
There was a knock at the door.
"Come in" he yelled.
"Jack, i heard about Luke, Do we have any idea where he is right now?" Bill asked.
"No, we don't know-" the phone interrupted their conversation.
"Bauer"
"Jack its Andy. We have found Luke Bryon . What do you want us to do?"
Jack's heart jumped. Everything was happening so fast today. "Bring him in, unharmed and prepare him to be interrogated"
"Understood" Andy answered and hung up the phone.
Jack looked at Bill "Andy is bringing Luke in and i want to be the one who interrogates him".
"Jack I-"
"Please Bill, let me do this"
"Alright Fine"
Bill turned out of the office and left Jack.
Bunk House - L.A
Audrey was sitting alone in the dark closet. She was scared to death. One of the men's phones had rang, Audrey listened to this side of the conversation and it only confirmed her suspicions.
"Yes Luke we have her"
"No, we haven't touched her yet. Yeah alright we'll do it now".
The conversation ended and she heard footsteps moving towards. The door opened abruptly, the light flooded in, blinding her. Audrey gazed up as her eyes became adjusted with the new light.
"Your going to phone your boyfriend now. You didn't tell us that he was Deputy over at CTU."
"What do you want with him? He has got nothing to do with Luke and I."
Simon looked shocked that she knew who was behind her kidnapping. "How do you..-He is the one who can get the money for us and since you have been good we are going to let you speak to him for a minute. But if you utter a word about where you are i'll kill you. Then your going to pass the phone to me. You understand?"
Audrey nodded her head. Simon got her phone and rang Jack, he passed it to Audrey.
"Bauer"
She said nothing.
"Hello? Who is this?"
"Jack, its Audrey"
"Audrey! Are you okay? Where are you?"
"Yeah i'm fine" She started to break down "I'm so sorry Jack i never meant to hurt you".
"Hey" Jack answered "I'm the one who should be apologizing. If i hadn't of left you none of this would of been happening. Audrey I love you don't you ever forget that".
"I love you too" she sobbed.
"I'll get you, i swear baby and i swear to god i'll make them pay."
"Oh Jack.." but she didn't get to finish her sentence because Simon's hand came to her and she jolted back. Giving him the phone.
"Jack if you want to see her alive again I suggest you listen to what i have to say. I want $15 million in a bag. I'll phone you nearer the time with a place and in exchange for Audrey's life. You have 1 hours and 30 minutes Mr Bauer. Don't try anything or your girl gets it" Then he hung up...
