[POLICE FILTER]
I can’t believe I’m saying this, but I think that right now it would be best for me to take a week or two away from the City. Now that Red Queen is safe... there are some things I need to think about, decisions I’ve got to make. I think I’ll go out to Los Angeles, see how things are there.
If there’s anything anyone needs me for before I go, let me know now and I’ll take care of it.
[PRIVATE TO LAMONT CRANSTON]
Lamont, it's Jack. Listen, I need a favour. You helped Madelyne Pryor run an air service while she was here, right?
[FILTERED TO THESE PEOPLE MINUS SHIVA AND FRANK]
I know I haven’t spoken to some of you before. My name is Jack Bauer and I’m assembling a team. If you’re receiving this message, it’s because you have certain skills and qualifications that I think are needed for a mission. There’s a situation developing outside of the country that poses a threat to this City and the people in it, something outside police jurisdiction that can’t be handled conventionally or by any of the super-teams. This is something that needs to be dealt with quietly and it needs to be dealt with soon.
This operation is going to be completely off the books, and I wouldn’t be asking you to participate in it if I didn’t think you were capable of keeping it quiet. I want to make it clear, this is high-risk and there are a lot of things that can go wrong. There isn’t going to be any reward here for any of us, no recognition. If we do this right, no one will ever know it happened. If it goes wrong, there’s a good chance the people involved will be arrested. You need to think carefully about this, because I’m asking you to risk everything for nothing.
If you’re willing to help me on this, meet me at seven pm tomorrow night at the basement of the address I’m attaching. Make sure that no one follows you or knows where you’re going. I’ll tell you everything you need to know. If not, then you never heard any of what I just said to you. Either way, you need to delete this message and wipe it from your communicator’s memory so that there’s nothing to tie you to any of this.
I’ll see you if I see you. Bauer out.
