Hi readers!
How are you all? ?
I've still got a cold, so that's why I've posted this so fast.
I don't own 24.
(By the way, I just made up the name Quinten Fleig.)
Enjoy :D
Chapter Four: Some Answers
Tony was pacing around the room, having refused to get back in the hospital bed. Jack was with him, attempting to get a laptop to load CTU personnel files.
As the door opened slowly, Tony looked up.
The beautiful woman was there again.
He was about to apologise for his unacceptable behaviour earlier, when Jack said "Tony, your personnel file is on the screen now."
On the monitor, it read:
Anthony Almeida
Nationality: American
Languages: English, Spanish, Russian, German.
Other Info:
Born in Chicago, Illinois. Bachelor of Science degree in Engineering and Computer Science from San Diego State University, and later a Master of Science degree in Computer Science from Stanford University. Served in the United States Marine Corps. Married to CTU employee Michelle Dessler.
Reading the last sentence over and over, he looked up at her.
"You're... Michelle?" This was more of a question than a statement "And we're married?"
She nodded, trying in vain to keep from crying again.
"The doctors say that it's ok for you two to head home," Jack explained "But you have to come back tomorrow for another check up."
As nervous as Tony was, he trusted Michelle. It was something about her eyes, and the love they held.
She desperately wanted to hold his hand, kiss him and tell him that everything would be alright. Yet this would make him more confused than he already was.
Hesitantly, she led the way to the CTU bull-pen. Several people looked in their direction, yet most were completely engrossed in their work.
"Jack, Michelle," Bill's voice called from his office "Can I speak to you both? In private please."
Michelle didn't want to leave Tony at the best of times, let alone when he didn't know where he was, who he was or what he was doing there.
Giving him apologetic looks, they hastily made their way up the stairs.
Tony continued to survey the room, not caring if people were starting to stare. As far as he was concerned, he didn't know these people.
"Tony!" a female voice called out. He turned around, trying to see who. A reasonably tall woman with shoulder length blonde hair was strolling towards him.
"Tony, I need your CTU pass-code to access a file on Quinten Fleig."
He quickly glanced to where Michelle and Jack had gone. Thankfully, they were on their way back down the metal staircase.
"Audrey," Jack greeted the woman, then proceeded to explain what occurred earlier that day.
"Oh," she said after he'd finished "Don't worry, I'll get Chloe to access the files from her account. Don't complain if I come back with an arm missing, she's not very happy at the moment."
"I'll ask her," Jack told her "You know what she's like in a bad mood."
At first, the car journey was silent, before suddenly, Tony spoke.
"Sorry."
Michelle looked at him in confusion.
"Why?"
"For earlier," he explained "I didn't mean to hurt your feelings like that. I just can't remember..."
He gazed out the window, and watched a world he didn't recognise fly by.
"What's the first thing you recall?"
He paused, thinking.
"People in surgical masks taking me into the operating theatre," he replied "Then it all went dark and I woke up in the medical room."
She shuddered, trying to imagine what that would be like. Waking up for what seemed like the first time and being taken into surgery for reasons unknown. In agony, yet with no clue why.
"Can you tell me more about us? What we've been through together."
It was a fair question, yet it still felt strange for her to answer this type of question.
"We met at CTU," she told him "We live together and..." she stopped, remembering something.
"What's wrong?"
She sighed "Nothing. It's just that I had something planned for tonight."
Her heart sank. Now she wouldn't have a chance to tell him.
"We could still do something. Watch a movie or something. I could get to know you better."
She smiled.
"That sounds good."
What did you think?
What did she want to tell him? ?
All will be revealed!
