D: Not mine, just borrowing, don't sue.

A/N: Sorry haven't been updating in awhile, our family really gets into Halloween so I was busy decorating and preparing for my fave holiday. (Yes, even over X-mas, being an identical twin, it's the one night a year I actually get to be something unique, of my own thought, not something anyone else is.) And for Sam, thanks for the.advice. But I was aware of how America works, but I just changed it a little to fit my story. That's why they call it an AU story, meaning Alternate Universe or something along those lines. NOT like reality basically. So, sorry to upset you or anything. And.Can you tell me what a beta is, cause I'm drawing a blank. Thanks! Here's the next chappy, enjoy!! Happy Belated Halloween!!

Meanwhile, at the immigration office/police station, Kim was royally pissed off. She was still in cuffs, cuffed to a wooden bench with her hands behind her. It was really starting to irritate her old injury in her wrist.

"Okay, miss, now we send you the holding ward until this afternoon when we send the bus out to Mexico to be sent home."the crude officer said as he chewed on his toothpick.

"It's a good thing me and Daly went to school together otherwise we'd have you detained here 'till tomorrow. You get to go back 'home sweet home' sooner." He said, smiling evilly.

"Why don't you LISTEN to me!? I'm not from Venezuela! I've lived here my whole life! Where do you get off!" Kim seethed.

"And can you take these cuffs off me! They're hurting my bad wrist!" she yelled, clenching her teeth from pain.

"What? Hurt that when you snuck into America?! Poor baby!" he teased, smiling and laughing at his own joke.

"No! For your information, I BROKE it when I was being held kidnapped so my father, a VERY important officer of CTU, was trying to save Senator PALMER from getting assassinated. Now my father and the PRESIDENT of the UNITED STATES are best of buds! What do you think the president will do when he found out you're messing with his guardian angels DAUGHTER!?!" Kim retorted back, emphasizing on all the key words, full of spitfire.

"President Palmer!? HAHA..Guardian Angel?!?.Please! You've been watching too many no-fe-nas!" the officer laughed back, butchering the word.

"It's NOVELAS dip s#$%!.call my father now!" she hollered back, getting outraged that she leaned so far forward that it caused the cuffs, that were also attached to the bench, to snag funny and tweak her wrist. She yelped in pain and scooted back instantly, tears of pain filling her eyes.

"My wrist! Please undo these! My wrist..it hurts!" she cried out weakly, getting desperate. Just then a familiar face appeared from a doorway. The guy from the precinct when Kim was busted with the drug dealers the night of the presidential primary. She sat shocked, this whole time believing him to be dead.

"Hey! What's going on here!? Why're YOU here Kimberly? What're you DOING to her?!" he asked getting angry at the sight of her tears and pinched up face.

"Officer Gray?!(forgot the guys name, so made up a new one.) You're.alive!?" Kim asked, still in disbelief.

"Yeah.now. Wasn't too well off the last time we saw each other, huh? Heard about what your father did to find you. Glad he was able to save Palmer AND you. Hate those jerks for nearly killing us." Officer Gray said sympathetically. It was then she noticed the scar on his forehead and on his arm.

" Yeah.but not my mother..or my baby brother or sister.they died that night.. can you tell these idiots to let me go! They're trying to deport me!" she cried to him. He spun around and immediately blew into a huge argument about Kim. He managed to let them uncuff her and he got an icepack for her already swollen and tender wrist. But he couldn't do much else.

"It seems to be legit. Your birth certificate says you were born in Valencia, Venezuela. It's a true birth certificate. You have no other documents on your school file that says you were made a citizen here in the US. Is your father coming?" he asked softly.

"They haven't let me call him." She trembled out, tears falling down her face.

"Do YOU know anything about this? Did your parents ever tell you about your birth?" he asked, confused on how she could be born in another country.

" Yeah. They told me I was born over in Valencia because it was still allowed for third semester pregnancies. and my m-mom went into early labor, cause they went visiting my father's family. I was 2 weeks early, and was.. was BORN over there, but I LIVE HERE! I've been here my WHOLE life, except those first few weeks when I was too little yet to fly home. I KNOW my parents got me citizenship or whatever over here! I mean, come on! I was allowed to go to school and everything!" she blurted all out, her voice trembling.

"I know sweety, hopefully we'll get this all cleared up when your father gets here." He said reassuringly.

"Where. Is. MY. Daughter!?" Jack yelled to the jerk counselor.

"They took her away!.. the IRS.It's out of my hands now! Maybe next time you shouldn't enroll your so-called 'daughter' in a public school without legalizing her first! And.. aren't you a little too.OLD for her?" he said sneering. Jack nearly blew a gasket. A few minutes later he left feeling only slightly better, only now his hand hurt a little bit.

"Can you start searching the most local immigration offices or precincts in this area and find out which one's got my little girl?" Jack asked over his cell phone to Milo as he headed to Stephanie's class.

"You got all the documents I sent you?" Milo replied while his fingers flew across the keyboard.

"Yeah, that's all you found?" Jack said as he looked at Kim's birth certificate, medical records, and school files.

"You gotta have parental consent in person at city hall to get anything else, Milo already broke some rules getting all that information. Either parents or a real high power head to get them. City Hall is the only place to get citizenship papers, except for someplace safe at your house." Tony informed him as he walked next to him.

"Dang it, I left that all up to Teri. She's the only one who would know where it all is to keep them safe. She's a little old fashioned, it could be anywhere from a false soup can to under a hidden floor board in the basement." Jack said smiling fondly.

"I'll head there now to search." Tony said getting the house key from him and calling for a uni-cop transport.

"Need a call from SOMEBODY to overrule.this isn't CTU's area. We're not that special to City Hall." Tony quipped, heading out, just as Jack stepped into Stephanie's classroom, motioning her to come to him.

"Sorry, ma'am. It's urgent." Jack replied respectfully to the teacher. Stephanie, a redhead with green eyes, came out side the door looking scared.

"Is Kimmy okay?" she asked, using Kim's nickname.

"No, not yet. I don't know where they took her and that jerk of a counselor won't say.Well, now he CAN'T, but that's not the point." He said rubbing his knuckles.

"I need your help. The people who took her, can you tell me what they were wearing? The jackets?" Jack asked with an idea.

"Oh, um, dark navy wind jackets with the letters I.N.S.A. on them. Their fronts had badges, but I couldn't see them. But a few of us in class here were in our last class. Trevor was sitting right behind Kim. Max wasn't far away either." Stephanie said getting excited. He nodded and followed her back into the classroom, once again stopping the lecture.

"Sorry, ma'am..I really need to speak to a few of your students." He asked politely.

"Mrs.Guevera.sure go ahead Mr. Bauer." Mrs. Guevera said pleasantly.

"Okay, can I ask the few of you that were in my daughter's last class to help me out?" Jack said hopefully. A boy and two girls raised their hands. Jack smiled and nodded towards them.

"Great." he started and went on to explain and ask questions. 15 minutes later he was headed to the immigration office that had Kim. Right around then, the bus arrived at the office Kim was at to escort the immigrants 'home'.

"Please, please help me! I'm NOT an illegal immigrant! I've been here ALL my life! JUST! CALL! MY! FATHER!" Kim screamed as they re-cuffed her, officer Gray's influence no longer able to help.

"Well, I want it documented that THIS is unlawful and unjust and I am completely against it and deny these accusations about Ms. Bauer. You'll be sorry." Officer Gray stated angrily. Kim was trembling now, as they escorted her to the back along with some other immigrants. She sniffled back a sob as she thought her father wouldn't be able to help in time. She just fell apart at the thought of being in a foreign place all alone with nothing. Tears streamed down her face as the group was led outside.
