The Following takes place between 3:28 am and 12:28pm

Events occur in real time



-Mr. President I just wanted to let you know that we have met a little resistance but Im confident that we will have Vito Nodrap in custody shortly…sorry…I mean within a reasonable amount of time that falls within every law of this country.

-That’s great news Jack just let me know when you have him, you don’t have to call me with constant updates as I don’t want to interfere with your investigation, you and your team are the ones best suited for the bulk of domestic issues in eCanada, such as this one.

-Thank you Mr. President and will do

Several hours later President Palmer_Q gets a call in the oval office.



-Hello

- Hello Mr. President it’s been along time

- Mr.Cipe?....yes it has, what can I do for you?

- We have been hearing rumors, very troubling rumors that Jack Bauer is close to apprehending Vito Nodrap

- Troubling?.....this is great news!

- Great news for who?.....let me put it plainly, we don’t want him captured, he is good for business, our stock has almost tripled since he took out our main competitor the SeePeePee Corporation.

-I see, I’m sorry but my hands are tied

-Let me also tell you that a few of our important employee’s are very upset, very upset, like Mr. Rigour Mortis who has decided to leave CIPE Corporation for an American company.

-That’s terrible…wait, who?

- Mr. Rigour Mortis our Ethics Director and also our Pay Department head Mr. Etemenonlykiwi has up and quit though still retains his position as Finance Director, he is still very upset, just not upset enough to quit two government positions, but its only a matter of time.

- Why would he quit when all those members, not to mention the company, depend on a regular paycheck but retain the position of Finance Director, I mean after the budget is done its mostly window dressing.

-He is just that upset

-Sounds a little over dramatic and dick’ish

-Mr. President let me remind you that it was us who financed your candidacy for President, it is us that once your term of office is over you will come back to.

- Ive already promised not to get involved in Jack Bauer’s investigation

- Come up with something soon Mr. President as our patience is wearing thin, our company is expanding and any further attempt to capture Vito Nodrap will be in vain as we will have so much influence over Jack Bauer that it’ll be impossible soon for him to investigate anything without our approval. I look forward to seeing the results of our little chat.

- Ill see what I can do. Good bye

Jack Bauer calls the President from a helicopter after successfully capturing Vito Nodrap during a daring night time raid



-Mr.President…Mr.President, Im happy to report the Vito Nodrap is in custody with only a few minor injuries to my team.

-Jack, I need you to release him immediately

-What?...Sorry Mr.President I cant hear you over the rotors, did you say release the prisoner?

-Yes, Jack….I’m sorry but I feel that you have mishandled this investigation, you didn’t investigate long enough.

-Mr.President, I don’t understand….this has been an investigation lasting over 33 1 hour episodes when the studio usually only required 24 1 hour episodes.

- Im sorry Jack that’s not good enough, I need the investigation to be longer….how does 38 1 hour episodes sound?….thhhhhhirty eight, it rolls off the tongue better.

-Mr.President this investigation was done by the book, it met all the conditions for a successful apprehension.

-Interesting choice of words Jack…conditions…I’m sorry to say Jack and although I said I wouldn’t interfere I asked a member of your CTU team if the conditions for apprehension were met to his satisfaction

-But it was an unconditional investigation….what apprehension condition?

-That Vito Donrap indicates he is willing to cooperate

-Mr.President in the very first episode of this investigation it was indicated

-Jack all I have to say is that you mishandled the investigation, and conditions were not met. I wont go into any details on any of these points but there is something bigger at play here, it’s a matter of epic National Security.

-Im sorry again Mr.President did you say it’s a matter of EPIC’s Security

-No Jack, epic National Security….look I don’t have time to go into details I’ve gotta be somewhere and all further questions should be asked to the Vice President, ask it in the form of a scenario, they like it when I do that…but I promise you this Jack, you’ll get another crack at him….. let him go, start your investigation over and I’m hands off this time, you guys over at CTU are more than capable in handling this sort of investigation. Just make sure we get thirty eight episodes this time…thhhhhhirty eight, sounds good every time.

-Yes sir Mr.President, we won’t let you down.
