Larry couldn't believe what he was seeing and hearing. He had no idea how many people they had lost at the White House, including Bill Buchanan, who had been important - at least important to Jack Bauer. The President, her daughter and most of the staff may have been saved, but he knew it had come with a high price. A price he still believed could

Renee knew she had betrayed Larry's trust and it truly was the last thing she wanted to do. "I just," she began, as she bit her lip slightly, "I just...wanted to say I'm sorry."

He paused then, seeming to consider everything as the wheels in his head turned. Larry was no longer sure he could trust her, but then he started to think: who could he trust? Certainly not Hillinger. Janis was running her mouth off half the time. He really didn't have a lot of allies.

She winced as soon as she finished speaking, knowing too well that wasn't the right thing to say either.

Larry didn't want to think about what else might happen today.

"I'm just so damn tired," he said softly. "Of all of this. I almost lost you today and I've seen more suffering than I think I've seen in my whole career. I don't want to lose sight of what we're here to do - if we let one suspect get pushed, what about the next? Where does it stop?"
