Nathan makes his way towards his hotel room with Claire close on his tail.
"What's going on here?" he ignores the question as they reach his hotel room door. He pulls out his key card and lets the door swing open.
"Come on in" Claire stays where she is with her arms folded over her chest "listen I'll tell you what's going on inside" Claire stares at him for a moment before stepping into the room ahead of him. After a quick glance down the hallway he steps inside the room and shuts the door. Claire glances around the room until her eyes settle on a woman lying on the ground near the bed.
"Who is that?"
"She works for Mr. Linderman"
"The guy downstairs?"
"Yea that's him" Nathan replies with a grimace. He bends down and picks Nikki up off the ground then lays her down on the bed.
"Ok you said you'd tell me what's going on"
"Fine first do you know who I am?" Claire stares at him for a moment
"No"
"My name is Nathan I'm a politician from New York" she looked a little surprised then replied quietly
"You're my biological father"
"Yes how did…?"
"I was listening outside the trailer when you were there"
"You were?" he looks down at his hands "You probably think I'm a horrible person I just didn't know what to do I thought…" his cell phone started ringing "damn it" the caller ID reads Peter so he picks it up right away "Hello"
"Nathan I took your advice went to see Suresh"
"Good what did he say?"
"Well the ambulance just took him away"
"What? What did you do?"
"It wasn't me it was Sylar"
"Who?"
"The guy who has been going around killing people with special abilities like me and you"
"Are you ok"?
"Yea I fought him but he got away"
"Ok I'm in Vegas right now but I'm gonna head home I'll be there as soon as I can and then we can talk" he glances at Claire "there's also someone I want you to meet".
"Ok bye Nathan" Nathan slips his phone shut and slides it into his pocket
"Who was that?'
"My brother he needs my help so I have to head back to New York"
"What about me?"
"You can come with me if you want"
"Ok there's someone I wanna find in New York anyway"
"Well I can probably help" Nathan starts packing his bag. Claire looks at him for a moment.
"Can I ask you something?"
"Sure go ahead"
"Have you noticed anything odd about you?"
"Odd" he starts zipping up his bag
"Yea like you can do something most people can't?" he lets go of his bag and looks up at her
"What gives you that idea?" he zips his bag closed and looks up at her
"I just…" before she can finish she is interrupted by a groan from the bed. Nathan takes a glance at Nikki before grabbing Claire's arm and pulling her out the door.
Downstairs Claire and Nathan climb into one of the black cars that Nathan is always driving around in. The driver pulls the car out and drives away from the Hotel.
"You didn't answer my question" Nathan sighed and rubbed his temples
"Ok" he glanced at the driver then leaned in close to Claire "Yes now answer my question"
"What question?"
"I wanted to know what made you ask that"
"Well so can I" he furrows his brow
"What can you do?"
"Well I can…." Suddenly the car comes to a screeching halt
"What's going on?" Nathan questions the driver
"Some lunatic pulled in front of us sir" the driver looks out the window "what are they doing?" suddenly a gun shot rings out and a bullet hits the driver in the forehead.
"Oh my god" Claire stares in shock at the driver "What's happening?"
"I don't know just stay down" the door swings open revealing Thompson with a gun pointed at them as well as Candace and two other guards.
"Well, well, well Mr Petrelli isn't this a nice surprise" Nathan blocks them from getting to Claire. Claire looks a little confused.
"I wouldn't say so"
"Well I would now we've come to get Claire but I suppose we could take you as well sort of like a bonus" he takes a step back with the gun still pointed at Nathan "Now if you would both kindly step out of the car" Nathan glares at him before grabbing hold of Claire's hand. He turns and looks at her before whispering
"Trust me" they both climb out of the vehicle "who are you?" Nathan holds Claire tightly against him.
"That's really none of your concern"
"Oh I think it is"
"No it's not. Take them to separate cars" as the thugs approach Nathan wraps his arm around Claire.
"Hold on tight"
"What?" suddenly he shoots up into the air at high speeds leaving a dumbfounded Thompson to watch at him go.
"Get after them now!"
