So if Jack Bauer solves everything in 24 hours, are there other guys dedicated to other time spans?

So if Jack Bauer solves everything in 24 hours, are there other guys dedicated to other time spans?
So if a terrorist guy calls in a threat that says "I'm blowing something in 13 hours!" and the Feds go "Call Jack Bauer!" there's some guy that says "No, Jack's the 24-hour threat guy, he can't do a 13-hour one, you shitwits! Call Jenkins, he's your 13-hour guy!"

And then while Jenkins is on the case, another 13-hour call comes in and they have to go pull Greely, the 12-hour guy, make him sit down the first hour, and then pray to God that a 12-hour call doesn't come in while he's working on that one.

Just wondering, because, come on, doesn't seem fucking weird to you that Bauer solves everything in 24 hours, and only 24 hours?

It does me.

1. I'm waiting for the end of season 24 cliffhanger where the clock ticks down
Jack says, "Fuck it. I'm off the clock you shitheads."

2. Andy Rooney, the 60 minute superhero
For 60 minute problems that are not really dangerous but are sort of annoying.

8. Paul Revere led men who solved problems in one minute.
Dan Rather used to do the same, but he took 48 hours. And then that show got canceled.

4. Yup. I'm currently on payroll as one of the "24-decade-patrol".

Once a month, when those young punks my grandpa had his eye on
pick up their Social Security checks, I'm watching them do it.

That's your tax dollars at work!

5. Sounds more like a Facebook post from a male escort to me.
Jack Bauer might be a bit of an over-escalation.

7. That guy on "& Days" that went back in time a week to solve things
Would be a contender. But he's kind of slow compared to Jack Bauer.
