Pow! Ping! & Thunk!

 "The following takes place between 8:15am and 8:45am"
You may be wondering at this point a few things.  First off, why was Jack Bauer in a place to save hapless Dewey in the first place?  That is quiet simple, the night before Dewey went rock climbing East of Moab, Utah, Jack had been eating his dinner at Willy Wong's Noodle House in lower down town Denver.  Why was Jack having dinner at Willy Wong's House of Noodles?  He had been told by an informant who was the cousin of his dry cleaner, that vital national data was going to given to a foreign operative at that location sometime that night.  In truth, the waiter gave the fortune cookie with the hidden message to Jack by mistake.  The fortune cookie was written in code, " Dew falls on the rock east of Moab, kill him."
With this complicated message Jack was able to figure that hapless Dewey was a target for some vague foreign element, sponsored by some elements of the US Federal government.  Of course, Jack's boss Bill, would not believe that the nation's security hinged on a message delivered in a fortune cookie so Jack, knocked out the pilot of one of the agencies choppers and flew under the radar with the aid of Chloe O'Brien, a computer whiz kid back in CTU (Counter Terrorism Unit) in Denver, Colorado.  She down linked satellite images of Jack's flight from Denver to Moab.  She was also able to see the bad guys from the satellite real time images on her lap top.
What does Dewey know that would make him a target by this vague foreign terrorist group working in conjunction with some vague element of disgruntled federal employees?  Will Jack ever get a chance to stop and get something to eat, sleep, drink some water, go to the bathroom or even have a private life?
The bigger immediate would be, did the bad guys really leave the area and give up? Will they allow Jack to transport Dewey to safety at Secure and safe CTU in Denver?  Tune in next Tuesday for the next installment of Dewey Meets Jack Bauer or how rock climbing can change your life.
Quotes from Chloe and Jack:

Chloe: I'm glad you're with us.
Jack Bauer: I'm not with anybody until someone starts answering questions.

Jack Bauer: Might as well start with you. Why are you not dead?
