In the suite in David's room,David sits on the bed and watch While Wayne is talking to him. Lucas is driving the car and with him there are three people.
Ryan's room
In the room there is a brown wood table and in the middle of the table there is a luxury wood chair. On the table there is a picture of Ryan during his military service.
Jack is walking in the room and is talking on the phone.
"We were together in the army," says Jack.
Split screen: George speaks from CTU with Jack.
"What was his job?" Asks George.
"He was my commander, but only for a few weeks," says Jack. "In less than a month he was transferred to another job."
"And you was with him in an operation or activity?"
"No, we just did training together," says Jack.
"Do you know useful information on him that can help us?" asks George.
"Look, I was with him in the army more than ten years ago and only for a few weeks, so I don't really remember it," says Jack.
"Okay, we'll wait that the ambulance will bring Ryan to CTU and then we will investigate him."
"He will not get to CTU" says Jack.
"why?" Asks George.
"His condition worsened and he has to go through an abdominal surgery, so the ambulance is taking him to the hospital," says Jack. "The paramedics said that the surgery will take several hours and probably he will survive."
A case of literary theft: this tale is not rightfully on Amazon; if you see it, report the violation.
"Fantastic, Jack," says George sarcastically. "Now we don't have any lead."
"We still have Chloe that is trying to decipher the data card," says Jack. "When does Lucas's computer reaches CTU?"
"A few more minutes," says George. "But Jack, I need to get something solid soon and I don't know if Chloe or this computer will achieve results soon. You have an idea of what we can do?"
"Wait a second," says Jack and takes out his phone and after a few seconds says: "I don't believe it."
"What is it?" Asks George.
"I still have the phone number of Rick, a friend of Ryan" says Jack. "I can arrange a meeting with him and see if he knows something."
"Well, do it," says George and hangs up.
Jack goes to Tony and says: "I am going to meet with a friend of Ryan."
"I will come with you," says Tony.
"No," says Jack. "It's better that I will come alone. He knows me and he would be willing to talk to me."
"Okay," says Tony.
Jack leaves the room and calls Rick.
Split screen: Jack goes towards the staircase talks with Rick that is in a room.
"Who is this?" Rick asks.
"Jack"
"Jack Bauer?" Rick asks in a surprise.
"Yes," replies Jack.
"Hoo, we didn't talked for more than ten years. How are you?"
"I'm fine," Jack answers while he comes down the stairs. "Listen, I need to see you now."
"What is so urgent that we need to meet now?" Rick asks.
"There is a matter that I need to talk to you about."
"what is it?"
"I will tell you when we meet," says Jack.
"Do you remember where I live?" Rick asks.
"Yes. I will reach you in fifteen minutes," says Jack and hangs up.
Near the entrance of the house there are two CTU agents and beside them is lying on the floor the guard that Jack knocked out.
"how is he?" Jack asks.
"He still didn't wake up," says one of the agents. "When he wakes up we'll take him to CTU to interrogate him."
"Good," said Jack and gets out of the house.
David's room in the presidential suite
6:36:52, 6:36:53, 6:36:54, 6:36:55
David sits on the bed and is holding a draft of his speech. Wayne is standing beside him.
"In your speech you need more highlight your plan of Strengthening the national security," says Wayne.
"I thought so too, but Mike told me not to elaborate more regarding this plan," says David. "This is only a preliminary plan, I will elaborate more later."
"It is important to talk more on the subject of security," says Wayne. "People want to see a strong leader who takes care of their security and can manage this country in any crisis that it will have."
"And to talk less about economic issues?" Asks David.
"Talk about the economy, but not for long," says Wayne. "You know that in the economic issue the President handles well and you will not be able to beat him in this thing, but in the security issue we have a big advantage on him. All his policies toward the world damage the status of America as a superpower in the world. Now America looks weak to the world and therefore it is important that you highlight your plan to strengthen national security. The people need that America will go back to being a superpower like she was before the term of President Wilson."
"That's true," agrees David. "I wrote in my speech how should the foreign policy of America work in order that the state of America in the world will improve. But the plan of strengthen the national security almost exclusively related to security matters within America, not outside."
"It is true and that what is good about it," says Wayne. "The residents in this country needs to get back the security and protection that the government provided them in the past and after America will once again become strong we can work better on the foreign policy."
"You're right," agrees David. "I will tell Mike we shall elaborate more about this plan."
"Good," says Wayne.
