Jacks new life in freedom was perfect. He lived together with the two women he loved and never want to loose them again. He decided to work for CTU again as director of field ops.
The first time was hard for him because he missed Tony, Michelle, Edgar and all the other workers who were killed through the nerve gas threat. Bill worked as the regional director of CTU and Chloe ran Comm.
Audrey worked at CTU as a contact to DOD.
Kim looked also for a job but after some weeks of search she finally decided to work at CTU as an analyst like some years before.
Jack was so happy to work with Audrey and Kim to make sure that they are safe.
The Chinese were finally content after DOD made a prisoner exchange. America got Jack Bauer and the Chinese got a man called Jin Chang, a well known Chinese terrorist who was in Guantanamo. So Jack didn't need to be afraid that the Chinese want him back.
Jack sat in his office as Audrey knocked on the door.
"Hey! You want to go out for lunch?" she asked.
"Yeah. I will be on the floor in 10 minutes; I just have to finish this paperwork. Today an application from Chase Edmunds arrived. You know the boy who was my partner and Kim's boyfriend with who she lived together."
"Oh I know who you mean. The boy who was hurt by the mission with the virus and the Salazar's.
"Exactly, he asks for a j0b at field ops as an agent!" he went ahead.
"What do you want to do?"
"I don't know yet we can talk later. I see you in ten!"
Audrey left and went to the locker room to get her stuff.
At the restaurant
"So what about Chase?" she asked.
"I think I give him the job he wants. Maybe Kim and Chase get back together. I know that she still loves him, I can see how she reacts when she hears his name."
"Haven't you told me that he has a daughter?"
"Right. Angela is her name she must be four or five now. I will call him privately to tell him that he can come over tomorrow!"
"I think that is a good idea!" she admitted.
In the following night Jack dreamed about the way to China…
"No!" he screamed as he woke up.
"Jack its okay. It was just a nightmare!" Audrey said as she woke up too. "You're at home, you're save!"
"Oh my god! He said breathless. I dreamed about the time when I was on that ship!"
"Jack tell me what happened, you have to talk about it or you will dream about it every night."
"Okay…. When I was on that ship… he paused, I was hold in a dark room without light and I didn't know where I was. When I walked into the hall to talk to Kim some men caught me from behind my back and I tried to defend myself but it was too late. I saw you standing outside for a second and then I found myself in that room. They used chlorophorm. Some minutes later Cheng came in and said that they want revenge. Some other men beaded and kicked me till I couldn't speak anymore. Then they tortured me in many different ways. They questioned me about our government and secret things, like undercover missions and undercover agents in China. But they couldn't break me. I became unconscious and than CTU came and rescued me." He told her.
"Oh Jack! I believe that this was horrible for you. It is good that you told me that!"
"Yes I feel better now. So you know what happened and you can help me to forget it!"
He kissed her. He felt so good after he told her the whole story. He loved her so much!
The next day Chase arrived at CTU. He made his way up to Jacks new office without seeing Kim on the floor.
"Hello Jack, good to see you. How have you been?"
"Chase, I'm glad you want to work at field ops."
"I heard what happened to you. With all respect you are they greatest agent I know!"
"I tell you the whole story later… so let's talk about your job….
Soon the two were content about their future work.
"Chase I need to tell you that Kim works here too, I thought maybe it is better to tell you now then you find out later!"
"What? Kim? The last time is saw her was last year, I heard that she lives with her psychologist Barry…"
"Yeah but she left him 2 months ago and moved in with me and my girlfriend Audrey. She started working as an analyst again."
"Where is she? I would like to talk to her. You know that I still love her!"
"Yeah I know. She is on the floor…" But wait a moment, what about Angela?"
"Oh she is with her mother. She has called me 6 months ago and asked me to let Angela visit her and now Angela lives with her. I see her every week and we made the deal that Angela lives at her mums place and at mine." He answered.
"Great so she has you both! Now go and see Kim."
Some time went by….
Audrey and Jack were sitting in the living room as they heard the doorbell. Jack opened it.
"Hey partner. I'm here to see Kim we have at date." Chase said.
"Hi! Come on in she is in her suit. Have a good time!" Jack said smiling and went back to Audrey.
"It's Chase. He is coming over to see Kim."
"Like every evening" she laughed.
"Yes looks like the two are happy and in love together. They date every day, I think they found back together."
"Yeah that's fantastic. Kim is grown up she will do what's best. Now we can have a great time either" she said while start kissing him.
