Mullins was a commuter in Los Angeles, California. After escaping from the botched weapons deal with Jemaah Islamiyah, Jack Bauer flagged down Mullins' car in a tunnel on Sepulveda Boulevard near LAX. Jack forced Mullins out at gunpoint, took his wallet, and warned him not to report the theft, before taking his SUV and fleeing with Vanowen and Emil Ramirez. (Chaos Theory)
