24 - Hour 19: Audrey, Bloody Audrey

So yeah, that white coat – egad is that nasty looking or what? I know, I keep going on about Audrey’s coat. Who knew a person could bleed that much and yet keep her composure? I guess that tourniquet job of Jack’s did the trick, yet it sure doesn’t look very, constricting? I just had blood work done today, and that ole plastic strappy thing they used on me was way more uncomfortable than the forklift cable appears to be.

Anyway – remember last week, Prez was confronted by Defense Secretary Heller, but soon as he got the crucial phone call from Robocop, he turned the tables, and demanded that Heller tender his resignation. So, Heller left in a huff, and is now calling the security staff he left at pokey little Van Nuys Airport. Well his staff is now stiff, meaning his guys are dead – and Jack answers the security guy’s cell phone.

After getting over his surprise at hearing Jack answer, Heller relays the problem of Logan not resigning. Jack is not all that sympathetic towards Heller, and hangs up on him. He then calls Chloe, and asks her for yet another satellite feed. What would we do without satellites? Satellites and protocols -can’t live without them. Oh, and cell phones. And PDA’s. Um, yeah, that’s about it.

So, Chloe — who is at Bill Buchanan’s house — starts hooking up her laptop to synch up with his PC, and Bill pretty much lets her run the show.

Chloe: “I hope you don’t mind me bossing you around.”
Bill: (bowing deeply, over and over) “I am not worthy.”

I have to say, Bill has really been super laid back for most of this whole horrific day. Not quite like Curtis, but still, he’s pretty calm. I think he’s gellin’.

Logan however, is NOT gellin’, not when Robocop tells him that, damn it, Jack is still alive. They discuss the incriminating recording, and Robocop lets Prez know that he needs to keep it safe for an insurance policy. He brings up Walt Cummings. (You remember him – dead guy, hanging in the hallway?) Robocop doesn’t want to end up like that.

Of course, this conversation happens while Robocop is what – Anyone? Anyone? Driving around. It was mentioned last week in our 24 Blogcritics series that the man sure has been spending an inordinate amount of time behind the wheel. And now Chloe has zeroed in on him with her satellite. She gives his position to Jack and Audrey who are following in a police car. Audrey begs Jack to make the siren go ‘Wooo-Wooo’ but he won’t. Spoilsport. But wait, they can still have fun and make like an episode from Cops.
