The White House remains on lockown. They have confirmed that Molly Quinn has kidnapped Zoey, towards what end they don't know. But, especially after the events of the last 13 hours, they have to assume that she is working with the terrorists. Although Secret Service advises the president to go to the bunker himself, he refuses until his child is safe. Vice-president Hellar believes there needs to be a clear cintinuity of government and goes to the bunker. At CTU Chappelle again adresses his staff.

.

Chapelle: I've just recieved word that Zoey Bartlett has been kidnapped by Secret Service agent Molly Quinn. We will be cordinating with Secret Service, however our top priority remains finding the nerve gas. We believe that the people responsible for Zoey's kidnapping are the same who have the cannister, or they're working together. Either way finding the nerve gas is still our best chance to find Zoey Bartlett.

.

As CTU works on finding the nerve gas Chapelle is informed that Juma is in critical condition, the next few hours will be touch and go. At the White House Bartlett wonders if this has anything to do with his planning to assasinate Shariff. It seems likely this kidnapping was planned months in advance, he only contemplated assasination a few hours ago. He looks over the files of agents trained for this. There are few, the only one close enough to do it, before Shariff leaves, is Jack Bauer.
