Chloe enters the room and asks: "What do you want, Jack?"
Jack puts the document on the table and says: "I need you to do something for me."
He takes out from his pocket the data card and continues: "This is the data card that Paul has got and "I need that you will decipher it."
"Paul didn't says before that he deciphered it already?" Asks Chloe.
"He managed to get only partial information from the card and he asked me that you will continue working on it."
"Okay."
"But you have to work on it in confidential. I don't want anyone to know you're working on the card," Jack says and adds: "When you find something report me."
"Why all this secrecy?"
"I can't elaborate now, but trust me."
"It's because of what Paul said to you, right?" Asks Chloe.
"Yes," said Jack, handing the card to Chloe. "You want to help me?"
"Okay," says Chloe and takes the card.
She puts it in her pocket and leaves the room. She comes down the stairs and when she gets down Johnny is standing beside her and ass: "What did he want?"
"Just something."
"It was not just something," says Johnny. "After the briefing he had not spoken with anyone, not even Tony, and now he has called you into his office."
"It's none of your business," says Chloe and begins to walk toward her station.

Johnny goes to her and says: "I know that he asked you to do something important."
"What do you want from me" says Chloe nervously.
"Relax, I just asked a question."
"I don't have time to your nonsense, I have to work now," replies Chloe and goes to her station.
She sits down and sees that Johnny turns and walks towards his position. She takes the card and puts it into the computer. A file with six folders opens. The first folder has been deciphered and written on it: "an attempt to assassinate Senator David Palmer." The other folders says something unintelligible with strange letters.

"Hey Kate, how are you?" Jack says and turns a quarter turn with the chair.
"All right, what about you? Asks Kate.
"I'm fine."
"So what is the important thing for which you went to work early?"
"Kate, you know that I'm not allowed to tell you about the briefings at work" says Jack.
"I know."
"I can only tell you that it is related to national security."
"Okay, as long as you take care of it," says Kate.
"Yes," says Jack when a man walks into his office. "I'm sorry, but I need to get back to work. Bye."
"Bye," says Kate and hangs up.

"So what do you want?" Jack asks.
"I came here to monitor your work in CTU" says George and continues: "I want to get update in real time about your progress."
"I'll see what I can do."
"This is not a satisfactory answer."
"I will get you update in real time, but it will take time."
"I need it soon," insists George.
"Look, because of the alert now and the lack of workers, I need everyone to concentrate on their work. So it will take time."
"Stop babbling nonsense. We both know you can do it in two minutes," says George, adding, "You can give up one of the workers for a few moments."
"Okay, I'll tell Johnny to take care of it."
"Tell him I want to know about every new thing you discover, every piece of information you find and any action you do."
"I told you already, it will be arranged."
"Oh, and I need also an office to work in it," says George.
"You can meantime use Gail's office."
"I guess I will have to settle for this office."
"You want anything else or you're done here." Jack says sarcastically.
"No, I do not need anything else" says George and leaves the room.
Jack bends toward his office phone and click on the number five. He picks up the phone and says: "Chloe."
"Yes Jack" Chloe replies.
"George was here now and asked me to get him a real-time update on our progress."
"Don't tell me you have agreed to him."
"I tried to delay him, but he insisted that it would be immediately," says Jack. "Soon he will have access to all the information we're working on."
"He will know about the card that I'm working on," says Chloe.
"Yes, there for you need to work on an outside server and then he would not know what are you working on."
"I have no problem to transfer to an outside server."
"Well, do it now," says Jack.
"What if someone finds out I'm working on an outside server?" Chloe continues.
"Say that you are doing something for me."
"Okay, I transfer now to an outside server," says Chloe and presses in the computer on the internet connections icon.
A folder opens and she presses on another icon and types on the keyboard. She presses enter, and there is a loading blue bar and after a few seconds the computer write: outside server connection is complete.
