OOM: Day 1 and 2
Chloe steps through the door and takes in the room that she'd seen so many times before. She slides to the floor and sits, breathing slowly.
Maybe it wasn't real.
She gets up, turns around and opens the door behind her. It's a bathroom. Same one she went to to cry over Andrew.
She sighs heavily. Good. No bar in CTU.
She slides back down to the floor and closes her eyes, trying to remember what was going on before she left.
Case file. Attack. Andrew's dating again finally.
"Chloe O'Brian, get up and come with me."
Chloe raises her head and sees Bill Buchanan standing above her.
"Sir?"
"Get up. We need to talk." His face is firm and grim.
"Fine." Chloe clicks her tongue when he turns away from her.
Bill led her to an empty office.
"Chloe, have you thought about the offer? I need an answer now, I'm leaving for Washington at the end of this week."
Oh. That.
"Sir, I haven't had the time to think. We've been working on this case file and there was that attack..."
Bill interupts her with a wave of his hand.
"I know how busy CTU:LA has been Chloe. Granted, I haven't seen you here much. In fact, I haven't seen you since yesterday." Bill looks at her, questioning her wordlessly.
"I came in an hour ago sir."
Bill arches his brow at her a moment, but shrugs finally.
"Think about taking the position. I want to leave knowing I can trust someone here." Bill dismisses her by turning away to a cabinet and taking out a file.
Chloe slowly makes her way back to her desk.
"Chloe, I need those files from Tuesday updated."
"They are updated. I did it Tuesday."
"But we had some new developments yesterday." Lisa hands a file over to Chloe and shows her some papers. "A witness report, some logs, an inventory."
"Thanks." Chloe sits down at her desk and begins to type.
"Chloe... how do you like her?" Andrew Paige is mixing a drink in Chloe's kitchen while Chloe works on her laptop.
Dimwit. "She's fine." Tap.
"You don't like her." Andrew chides her smiling.
"She's fine. I just doubt your mother would like her." Click.
"I think she's the one Chloe." He's lying, but he likes to annoy Chloe.
"That's nice." Click.
"I bet she's great in bed." A near snicker.
"Just so long as you don't think you're doing that here." Many quick taps.
"You'll turn green if you don't look away."
"Shut up."
Andrew sets down the carrots he had been chopping. "Chloe, look at me. You've been home two days and you haven't spoken to me. And when Chase called to get together, you told him you had work to do. What is the matter with you? Angela hasn't seen her auntie in months! She sent you a card Chloe."
"Yes, well, I have this-"
Andrew slams down her lap top and throws it up on top of the refrigerator.
"You and I are going somewhere tomorrow. Not the movies, I have all the good ones on my lap top. You need new music. We'll shop for music."
Driveshaft? No. Not real. None of that was real.
"Ok, we'll do that tomorrow. You can buy me the new Mark Broussard cd. And then we'll take a trip up to see Chase, Angela and Kim. Now get my laptop off there. I don't want it ruined. I just bought it."
Andrew hands her the laptop and smiles. He picks up the drinks and before he walks back out of the door, he calls to her.
"What we need to do is get you hooked up. Want me to ask if Katie has a brother?"
Click.
Maybe it wasn't real.
She gets up, turns around and opens the door behind her. It's a bathroom. Same one she went to to cry over Andrew.
