Default icon drabble meme gakked from 
foxxcub and cmonkatiekatie and everyone else. Exactly 100 words. OMG, that's hard!
He had long since lost count of the number of men he’d killed. If he’d been a cop, he’d have been evaluated every time after he’d shot someone, have to file a report, talk to somebody. This job wasn’t like that. Every kill was a good kill. Aim, fire. It was second nature. He’d never had that hesitation some men had. But someday, someone was going to be faster than him. He’d been lucky too long. Lucky wasn’t the right word, not when you’d lost as many people as he had.
He should have been dead years ago.

I demand more drabbles!
(wow I'm lazy, but that's enough info, yeah?)
And I love the last line.
You're so right- this drabble thing is *hard*. I'm always impressed by folks that can do the drabble challenges. rest assured though, that this is *very* shiny.
This might just be my first drabble, really. I've written short ficlets before but I don't think I've ever hit 100 words, dead on.
I don't know Jack (I know, my loss! one day!) but I like this line
Aim, fire. It was second nature.
I can't help but find that it's kind of sad (even if hot, in a way ;) )
So, yes it is sad but Jack in action mode is always hot. Part of why I love the character is does these incredibly ruthless things and makes these huge sacrifices but you never lose sight of the human side of him. And he is always willing to die, if that's what it takes. That kind of commitment is both impressive and disturbing.
Damn DAMN this was good, it's like a little slice of his psyche, a little snippet of what makes Jack, Jack.
You are too too good.
And I'm hopelessly stumped and will probably have to pass on this meme.
And god, I'm only halfway through season 4; just seeing your pretty new header makes me all antsy to get to season 6 ;)
And actually, my header is from season 5. ;) So you're that much closer to that scene! Season 4 ... what do you think of Audrey? I like her, myself.
Audrey, yeah, she's okay; but at the moment I'm busy mourning that Michelle is gone and I'm worried about Chloe...will she be back? She can't just leave just because she was helping Jack!
*needs more time to watch...and a Jack icon*
Loads of Jack icons here:
God, I'm halfway through S5...Edgar just died :(...and I get so jealous when everyone freaks out for new episodes on Mondays :( I'll get there...hopefully I'll be watching the S6 premiere by Thursday!
And thank you! ;) I would really like to write some Jack Bauer fic! I think I mentioned I'm rewatching S2 and S3 in reruns right now. And S5 ... gah. That was a brutal season for cast losses. :-( I'm excited for you to get caught up and watch S6 with me! You're going to be so anxious only having one hour of Jack Bauer a week, though!
