Chapter 2:

Jason grinned as he said, " Thanks."

Barbara nodded as she said, " All the air traffic has been grounded due to the attack, so you'll have to drive."

Jason nodded as he said, " Alright not a problem. We'll go pack, and be on our way."

Barbra nodded as she said, " Alright, and good luck."

They both nodded their thanks as they left. 45 minutes later they were on the interstate heading for LA. 23 hours later they arrived at the CTU LA HQ. They both climbed out of Jason's 2013 gray Chevrolet Silverado 1500, and walked inside. The first person they encountered was Chase. Chase grinned as he said, " I'm shocked, I never would have thought Barb would send her two best field agents."

Jason said, " Well whaddaya expect, she had to send us to fix whatever mess you created."

Chase just grinned as he led them up to Tony Almeida's office. When they got there Tony leapt to his feet, and embraced Miranda as he exclaimed, " Mandy I didn't know they were sending you."

She returned the embrace as she said, " Yea, me, and Jason are here to help."

Tony saw Jason leaning against the wall, and said, " Hello Gunny."

Jason straightened as he replied, " Hey El-tee how's it goin?"

Tony replied as he released Miranda, " Good, I'd like you two to meet Michelle."

Miranda asked as Jason slipped an arm around her waist, " Who's Michelle?"

Tony grinned as a young attractive woman with short curly brown hair, and dark brown eyes walked into the room. She walked over to Miranda, she said, " Hello, I'm Michelle Dessler, it's nice to meet you."

Miranda replied as she shook her hand, " You too"

Michelle grinned as Tony said, " Michelle I'd like you to meet Jason Bauer."

Michelle said as she shook Jason's hand, " You're Jack's brother aren't you?"

Jason nodded as he said, " Yes Ma'am."

She asked, " What is your position?"

He replied, " Head of Field Ops."

Michelle said, " That's so weird, that's Jack's position."

At the mention of his name Jack Bauer walked into the office. Jack grinned as he saw his younger brother. He said as he pulled him into a one armed hug, I'm glad you came."

Jason replied, " Me too. Are we dealing with Ansar Al-Shariah?"

Jack nodded as he said, " It appears so. What do you want to do?"
