Bitchelle finds said woman in the lobby. She's a sad-looking redhead named Kathy who tells Bitchelle she met some guy at a club on Hill earlier tonight. All she knows about him is his name -- Bill -- and some stuff about his penis, but she doesn't share that last part. When the fire alarm woke her up, Bill from Hill was gone, even though he was still there when she fell asleep exactly at 4:02. It's always a good idea to look at the clock immediately before you go to sleep, you know, in case you wake up to a federal agent who wants to know what time it was. This guy's not anywhere in the hotel, and the room was booked in Kathy's name, so they have no idea how to locate this Typhoid Leisure Suit Larry who's running around and rendering their quarantine moot. Bitchelle orders a hazmat-less agent named Miller to dust the hotel room for fingerprints. He points out that it's a hotel room, and there will be dozens of prints there. Nice try, dude, but I still don't think Bitchelle is going to let you dust Kathy's boobs. Bitchelle tells Kathy to come with her up to the room: "You need to show me every surface that Bill may have touched." Jeez, Bitchelle, aren't we supposed to be in a hurry? Just strip Kathy naked in the lobby, would you? Lives are at stake here.
6:21:26, CTU. Soul Patch notifies Kiefer that Special Agent Charlie Brown has a strike team ready to go as soon as they know where Saunders is, and that Soul Patch has arranged a chopper to ferry Chappelle to the train yard: "We can't afford to be slowed down by rush-hour traffic." I'm sure Chappelle feels the same way. And can I just say how marvelous it is that the first time this show acknowledges Los Angeles traffic, it's because it threatens their chances of killing the boss in time? Potato Face calls Kiefer over and tells him it might be ninety minutes before she can crack the encryption, which Kiefer is none too impressed with. Potato Face says, "I'm doing my very best. Your tone of voice isn't exactly a morale booster." Potato Face obviously doesn't spend much time on the boards. Kiefer looks like he wishes her morale were in her ass so he could give it a boost with his foot, but he walks away instead. As some random blonde with a long bowl-cut steps up to help Potato Face in the background, Kiefer looks over to the glass-walled conference room where he left Chappelle. Which is now empty. As are all of the surrounding glass-walled offices. Whoopsie. "Oh, Ryan," Kiefer breathes. Every gay man in the world named Ryan now has a new Windows startup sound.
