24, S8 AU: Not Too Late (1/1)

Fandom: 24
Characters: Jack Bauer, Renee Walker
Pairings: Jack/Renee
Rating: PG
Summary: In an alternate S8, Jack and Renee have some confessions to make once everything is over.
Spoilers: Up to the first half of 8x17 (see author's note)
Warnings: None
Challenges: written for the Awesome Ladies Ficathon for the prompt, "24, Renee Walker" with a preference for AU.
Originally written: June 24, 2010
Author's Note: For this AU, I've included canon up to 8x17.  However, instead of Jack and Renee returning to his apartment, Renee convinced Jack to go back to CTU before they arrived at his apartment, to find any remaining conspirators in President Hassan's death.  At some point, this involved going after people in the Russian Embassy, but with US government permission and no legal ramifications (the explanation for which, I leave up to the reader's imagination as this was commentfic :D).
