Ronnie Lobell

Ronnie Lobell was the Director of Field Operations under Erin Driscoll during Day 4.

Day 4

During the search for Tomas Sherek, Ronnie went into the field with Agents Aaron and Sean to check out a lead in the search for Sharek on Maurice Landstrass. With help from Jack Bauer, who was viewing the live feed of the operation, Ronnie determined that Landstrass was sheltering prime terrorist suspect Tomas Sherek. He and his team quickly captured Sherek. 

After James Heller was kidnapped, Lobell clashed with Erin Driscoll over whether to let Jack Bauer help with the investigation. However, he followed her orders to work with Bauer.

Jack and Ronnie went to Union Station to pick-up Andrew Paige. However, Kalil Hasan, who was posing as Jack, forced Andrew to leave the station with him. When Lobell and Bauer located Hasan, they argued over whether to apprehend him or tail him to see if he would lead them to Secretary Heller. Lobell cuffed Bauer to a handrail and attempted to arrest Hasan by himself. However, Hasan had caught sight of the two and quickly pulled out a gun and shot Lobell, hitting him twice in the chest. With the last of his strength, Lobell tossed Bauer the key to his handcuffs.

• Ronnie Lobell: Apology accepted. But if you try to exceed my authority again, I will stop you cold. (Day 4 8:00am-9:00am)
