"Johnny, have you seen Jack or Tony?" George Asks.

"Jack went to check out a lead and Tony organized a team a few minutes ago in order to help Jack," Johnny says.

"Witch lead?" asks George as he tries to understand what is happening.

"Chloe fond information about a business man that made deals with terrorists and now Jack and Tony's team are going to the place where is his next business meeting."

"And how are we sure it is linked to the terrorists who are trying to assassinate David Palmer?"

"I don't know, but Jack was sure of it," says Johnny. "Look, he has done deals in the past with terrorists then it makes sense."

"And why no one bothered to update me about this," says George.

"I thought you knew, because I did for you a real-time update and you need to get the inside information that CTU has."

"I didn't got any information related to that," says George.

"So Chloe probably is working in an outside server or from an external system. This allows her that no one that she want won't know what she is doing."

"Well, listen, I'm going to find out now in regarding Chloe and next time when you know something important, make sure you update me," says George.

"Okay," says Johnny.

George goes to the Chloe's station and asks: "What are you working on Chloe?"

"I can't tell you," says Chloe.

"I came from district to monitor CTU and I need to know what the workers in CTU do, particular if it is related to the lead that Jack and Tony are going after it."

"There is a businessman that have made ..." says Chloe.

"I already know about it, Johnny told me," George interrupted her. "I want to know what you are doing in the computer."

"Jack asked that it remain classified."

"Well, Jack is not here and that makes me in charge of CTU and believe me that you shouldn't withhold important information from me."

"I promised Jack," says Chloe. "I'm sorry but I can't."

"It's hard to find loyal employees like you that know Jack just two weeks and are ready to do everything for him." Froms George and says: "If I will call Jack and he will let me, that's okay?"

"yes"

"Or finally a logical answer," says George and takes his phone out of his pocket.

He calls Jack.

Split Screen: Jack drives the car and answer the phone and George talk to him from CTU.

"Yes, George?" Jack says.

"I heard you follow the lead Chloe found," says George.

"right."

"I didn't know about it until now because Chloe had been working outside the system of CTU. I just want that she would work within the system of CTU so I will be updated and informed about what she is working on, "says George.

"Look, Chloe is working on classified information and when I could and I'll tell you about it," says Jack.

"I came to CTU to help, and check that your employees are doing a good job, how I could I do my job and help if you are hiding important information from me?" says George, "Jack, it's especially important that in this day we will cooperate with each other."

"OK, but it need to remain just with us," says Jack.

"Of course, Jack"

"Paul got a data card that contains information about the terrorists that Tie a plot against David Palmer. He gave me his card and now Chloe is trying to decipher it."

"Ah," says George and puts his phone on speakerphone.

"And you allow Chloe to send me the information she finds on this card?" Asks George.

"Yes," replies Jack.

"Okay, thank you," says George and hangs up.
