Paul's house in the kitchen
"I was able to recover the damaged data from the card we achieved yesterday" says Jim.
"So what does it say?" Paul asks.
Jim is typing on the keyboard and says: "It says here that today would be an attempted assassination on the leading presidential Senator, David Palmer."
The briefing room
"Yesterday my office obtained a data card" continues Paul. "It was almost completely destroyed. Luckily, before a little less than twenty minutes my chief technician in my office was able to recover the information and decode it. The information indicates that there will be an attempt to assassinate Senator David Palmer."
"How reliable this information?" Tony asks.
"Very reliable. It was not easy to find this information and it seems that someone tried that we will not get it."
"In what range of time are we talking about?" Jack asks.
"The assassination attempt will occur until the end of the day. It can even happen within a few hours from now," says Paul and adds: "So we don't have much time and you needs to start working now. I want that in the next hours you will work just on preventing the assassination of Senator David Palmer, clear?"
"Yeah, no problem, we'll work on it," Jack answers.
"I didn't want to say it to everyone, but it was much harder to find the data card," says Paul. "I sent my three good agents to get it and two of them died. Someone ambushed them and almost killed them all. I think that someone inside was involved"
"how do you know?"
"I don't know, it's just a feeling," says Paul, adding a little anxiously: "Except you I don't know who I can trust."

Paul takes the card out of his pocket and says: "There is a lot of information that is decrypted on this card and I want Chloe to work on it secretly."

David closes the door to the balcony and asked: "What did you want to say to me, Mike?"
"We have received a notification that there will be an attempt assassination on your life," Mike says.
"This information on the assassination attempt affect my speech today at ten?" Asks David.
"We will enhance the level of security in the building in which you will speak," says Mike. "I don't think we should postpone your speech."
"I agree. We need the speech to be in," says David firmly.
Head of CTU office
Chloe enters the room and asks: "What do you want, Jack?"
Jack takes out from his pocket the data card and says: "I need that you will decipher it."
"Okay," says Chloe and takes the card.
CTU
"I found something in the card," says Chloe when she and Jack start walking toward her station.
They arrive the station and Chloe sits.
She clicks with the mouse on the folder and says "I found this address."
A folder opened and in it there is the address: Park street number 12
"Okay, it's near here." Jack says and adds: "I will check this."
Jack's car
"A man named Lucas Collins lives there. he is a businessman and he had done some deals with the army," Chloe says while Jack is driving the car. "six months ago he was arrested on suspicion of helping terrorists."

Jack parks his car near house number 12.
He knocks on the door and The door opens and a woman with long black hair stands in the doorway and says "Hey, what do you want?"
"I came regarding Lucas Collins," says Jack. "Is there any way to find him?"
"if he left his laptop at home then probably yes" the woman says.
Jack looks at the computer screen that shows the folder of the meetings of Lucas.
I found a computer of a businessman who apparently works with the terrorists that want to assassinate Senator David Palmer," Jack says to Tony on the phone.
"And Chloe worked with you on this issue?" Tony asks.
"Yes, now it says in his computer that he will have a business meeting at six o'clock at Wayne street number 28," says Jack and gets up from the chair. "I'm driving now to Wayne street, and I want that you will organize a strike team that will come there."
"I will arrange the team right now," says Tony.
"good," says Jack and hangs up.
Parking lot outside the building where is Paul's department
Paul goes outside the building and walks toward his car. His phone rings and he answers: "Hello, who is this?"
"Paul, this is the first and last time I will tell you not to mess in things that you don't know in what you are getting into," a Scrambled voice says. "You're going to stop investigating and trying to find more information regarding the assassination attempt. If you don't stop doing so, you will be responsible for the consequences that will happen to you, and trust me, you will regret it all your life."
"Wait ..." says Paul.
The call disconnects and Paul's face become terrified.
