From his vantage point Heinrich Reader became more nervous. Henderson must be dead by now, perhaps he should leave. But he feared what Max would do if he deserted. Reader knew what Max had done to those who betrayed him. Reader was no saint, but he figured noone deserved to die like that. Then the fire alarm went off in the hotel. Reader wondered, was there really a fire? Or was CTU just getting civilians off the floor before coming for him? Either way, he feared this less than Max. Max was letting his hatred for Jack Bauer cloud his judgement. A voice called from outside, they saif they were firemen, trying to evacuate the floor. But Reader believed he recognized one of the voices, Jack Bauer. As the two men broke down the door Reader fired at them. Jack and David took cover and shot back. Reader was hit in the arm. He tried to grab his rifle again, but Jack and David trained their guns on him. Reader knew he was beaten, but he would not let Max make an example of him. He crawled out the window. Jack tried to stop him, grabbed Reader's arm. Reader kept trying to wriggle away, and fall to his death. Jack recognized the look on this sniper's face. It was the same look Ira Gaines once had. This was not the face of a fanatic dying for the cause. It was of a mercenary more afraid of his boss than of death. Despite Jack's best efforts Reader broke free and fell to his death.
