Ya one in a million cause you got that shotgun shine

WHO: Jack Bauer and OPEN
WHERE: NoHOPE
WHEN: Visiting hours, Saturday 10th through the week.
WARNINGS: Should be none.
SUMMARY: Jack has been incarcerated in the Import asylum after being apprehended by Wonder Woman. Visiting hours are open.
FORMAT: Whatever works.

Suicidal tendencies. Violent behaviour. Paranoid traits. Anger issues. Possible PTSD.

Jack had been caught again, but this time he wasn't going back to the Superjail as a convict. This time, it had been decided that he was sick, that he needed help. He was a psychiatric patient now. They were going to treat him.

Despite not having superpowers to speak of, Jack was kept under careful and delicate watch in his room. They had his file, they knew what he was capable of. Even his plastic utensils were scrutinized and accounted for after every meal. After Harvey Dent's suicide, even his clothing was treated with suspicion, in case his shirt became a makeshift noose or garrote. His room was locked, his window was bulletproof glass, and everything, everywhere was so damn white.

He cooperated with them, within reason. As far as he was concerned he wasn't sick- his behaviour in Venezuela had been the result of Vulcanus' damn virus. But these people were just doing their jobs, and he understood. He answered their questions. They talked a lot about his past, about his career, his experiences. He didn't let them get too close though. His family was off-limits, especially his wife.

He was anxious throughout though, tense, on-edge, and it was hard to hide. Always watching, looking for openings or threats. As far as Jack was concerned, he was running out of time. His capture and institutionalization couldn't have been kept secret, not for someone with as many warrants as Jack had. Soon the world would know that Jack Bauer was captive in NoHOPE. And there would be those who weren't content to leave him that way. Sooner or later, they would come.

The hospital had at least one advantage over Superjail, from Jack's perspective. It would be a little easier to escape.

He let the fear show on his face, leaning towards Jack a bit as he lowered his voice. "You don't have an escape plan?" Ned tried to reel in the very real terror that clutched his chest. "I-I-I was in jail for a night, once; twice. I mean that it happened two times in--so that's twice. It wasn't so fun."

It had actually been more than that, both times around, but for once the pie maker isn't counting--just trying to help his friend.

He started to calm himself, slow though the process was. If Jack hadn't 'yet' thought of an escape, there was one in the works and that was more than enough for him, for now.

"I didn't mean to imply you couldn't handle it. But if you need anything.. tell me?" Though his tone was unsure, his expression was stern and he would allow no wavering on the matter. "I'm never more than a call, click or write away."

Ned laughs too, a rare sound of mirth. "It better not be anyone else."
