A few hours after this...It's the middle of the night, not that Ramon's aware of it. He still sits in the chair, his neck at an awkward angle but totally oblivious ( Read more... )

Ramon watches his brother darkly as he paces around, snapping at the men and basically acting like a child. There’s only so much of this he’s willing to put up with - and forcing arguments in front of Nina Myers, Jack Bauer and a group of employees is not something he’s willing to take a lot of.
