From his covert office Bob Warner ws flipping through the channels. The news networks were showing Erica, the president's press secretary, briefing the press on the day's events. She says that president Deby's helicopter was re-routed here merely as a precaution. Bob looks at the other channels, this being Saturday morning many of them were showing cartoons, others just showed re-runs from decades ago. If Dubaku came through, in less than 20 minutes, these shows would all be pre-empted for breaking coverage of the incident. Jack Bauer arrives at his house and calls for his wife. When she doesn't answer he becomes worried. Then Jack sees the note on the refrigerator, Teri is leaving him. 20 years of marriage, and she was just leaving a note for him. Jack wanted to find her, make one last effort to ask her to stay. Jack thought about this. If Teri were leaving him she'd likely go to her parents' home in California, chances were she'd fly. Jack called his credit card company, said his credit card was missing. After verifying his personal details and the code word, they verifyed the previous five charges on his card. The last one was a plane ticket for Los Angelas, purchased at 8:22 am this morning. Jack said that was all good, his wife was visiting her parents. He then rushed outside and prepared to go to the airport. The flight was scheduled to take off at 9:30. Jack factored in boarding and luggage check-in, he had to be there by 9am to talk with Teri. He feared if he couldn't get to the airport in less than ten minutes, his marriage was over forever.
