There I was, walking around this tiny island, and there she was- laying out- sunbathing.  It was love at first sight.  I couldn't help myself.  I ran through the trees, and quickly grabbed her from behind and declared my love for her.  She was surprised, but I knew this would be one of those stories that we told our kids, and they told our ( Read more... )

Jack slept.  A bad guy named Wendell Wordsworth bought Plutonium from a ex-soviet spy named Vlad.  Jack went grocery shopping and met a woman.  Jack got called into CTU.

1pm-2pm

“I used to know a Wendell Wordsworth.” Jack says at the CTU offices.  “It can’t be the same guy.”
