Agent River is in the car and is talking on the phone.

Split Screen: River is talking with James.

"I got the component," says River. "I will be here in fifteen minutes."

"Does someone is following you?" James asks.

"One agent was trying to stop me, but I think I lost it," says River.

"You think?" Says James.

River looks in the mirror in the middle of the car and says: "I didn't see any car that is following me, but I'm not sure."

"If you're not sure we can't take a the chance that you're wrong," says James. "If someone is following and you leads him here, all our plan will be destroyed. Get rid from the car and reach the assembly point."

"Okay," says River and hangs up.

Jack's car

Jack's phone rings and he answers.

"Did you locate her?" Jack asks.

"Yes, she is now in Avenue Kelvin about a mile and a half from your location," says Chloe.

"Send me her location to my GPS"

If you spot this tale on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.

"Okay," says Chloe and hangs up.

Jack activates the GPS screen in the car. The GPS shows the current location of Jack and the position of River's vehicle. Jack accelerates.

Martha is standing next to the men's toilet door. She opens it and says: "Tom, Tom."

No one answers. Martha calls Tom. She waits and there isn't any answer. Martha notice a policewoman that is standing a few meters from her and she approaches her.

"Hi, my name is Martha," Martha turns to the policeman.

"I'm Lucy," says the officer. "What do you need?"

"I can't find my son."

"What happened?"

"More than twenty minutes ago he went to the bathroom and has not returned," says Martha. "I just checked the bathroom and I didn't found him there and he's not answering his phone."

"what's his name?"

"Tom Cooper" says Jessica.

"Do you want me to check at reception if anyone saw him?" Lucy asks.

"Yes thank you."

"Wait here, I'll be back soon," said Lucy and goes to the reception.

Jack's car

Jack turns left and enters the alley. He comes out of the alley and turns right. He notices the Honda car of River from far away. Jack keeps his distance from his car to the Honda car.

Jack's phone rings and Jack answers.

split screen: Jack is driving and talking with George who is in CTU.

"yes?" Jack says.

"Jack, you've found the impostor FBI agent that stole the component?" Asks George.

"She was imposture to an agent?"

"Yes, so she could enter the house and steal the component. FBI confirmed that she had killed two of their agents and our agent Ron," says George. "I need to know if you've found her."

"Yes, I'm following her now," says Jack.

"Stop following her and arrest her"

"why?"

"Because she has the component and we can't let this component to fall into the wrong hands."

"It is better to follow her," says Jack. "She probably will lead us to the hiding place of the terrorists . In this way, we can arrest them all and return the component."

"Probably you didn't listened to me. You have to arrest her."

"I determine how this operation will be conducted, not you," says Jack.

"Listen, we got orders from the Minister of Defense that we needs to get the component as soon as possible, OK?" Says George.

"And I assure you that if my plan will work, we will get the component and the terrorists," says Jack.

"You always want to get the two birds on the tree, huh, Jack," says George. "Fine, the results of this operation are at your responsibility."

Jack hangs up and continues to follow the Honda. The Honda continues straight and crosses the intersection in an orange light. The traffic light turned red, and Jack had to stop at the intersection. Several cars are separating Jack from the intersection. The Honda turn right and enter the tunnel. The Honda's signal in the GPS disappear.

In the tunnel in the Honda car

River parks her car and take a piece of paper dressings from the car cabin. She pulled down the sleeve of her right hand. Her hand is still bleeding. River is wearing her hand with the paper dressings and gets out of the car. She begins to run toward the right door.

Jack's car

The light turns green and Jack continues to drive. He turns right and enters the tunnel. Inside the tunnel he sees the Honda and stops next to it. Jack gets out of the car and runs towards the door on the right. Jack opens the door and sees at the end of the place, steps leading up to the street above. He takes the stairs and when he reached the street, he notices a subway station located nearby. Jack comes down the stairs leading to the subway station. On the right side of the station there is a train. When Jack reaches the station he sees the doors of the train closed and it's starts to drive. Jack advances forward a little and notice River in the train. The train accelerates and leaves the station.
