Kim sat down next to Tony in the one conference room that had somehow remained undamaged throughout the fire fight. She was confused, she didn't understand why Tony had taken her aside like he had, had she done something wrong? As though a light bulb flashed above her head she realised it was about her father. She wondered just how many times Tony had taken her aside to give her bad news or an update on his condition, or... she stopped, she didn't want to remember the first time Tony had taken her aside like this, the news had changed her life forever.

"What's going on Tony?" She asked, no beating around the bush.

"Kim, you know that me and Chloé came back from the warehouse without your dad, yes?" He said softly, planning his words very carefully.

"Yes, I just thought-"

"Kim, he is still captured. We have assault teams on the way to their exact location. The problem is.... their is a man who we think is responsible for a threat on L.A. today-"

"What!" She interrupted, shocked.

"Kim, that is not why we are here. The men who we believe is responsible is called Daniel." He paused, not knowing how to tell her this final piece of information. "Daniel Bauer, he's.. he's your dads brother."

"What? That can't be possible, my dad doesn't even have a brother." She said confidently, knowing it was a misunderstanding.

Tony sighed, "That's what we thought too, but he is. Here, look at this." He passed her a screen-shot of him from the surveillance.

Kim was shocked at this news, and even more so by the photograph. "He looks just like my father."

"Yes, he does. We have birth certificates, id numbers, reports and records on this, Kim, they are brothers."

"Well why would my father lie?" She asked, on the verge of tears.

"Your better off asking him that Kim."

"No, you tell me Tony, how do I know he isn't just going to lie to me again!" She sounded distraught.

"From the intel we gathered, it seems that when they were younger Daniel got Jack in a pretty sticky situation and left Jack for dead. It easily explains why he didn't tell you about him Kim, he was probably just trying to protect you." He said gently, wishing Jack could be here to explain himself to both of them.

"Okay." She said while nodding her head, as though she understood and was accepting the new news.

"I'm sorry I had to be the one to tell you this, but I thought you needed to know. Were all trying to find information on Daniel Bauer's past seen as he disappeared a long time ago."

"Thanks Tony, I appreciate it." She paused dreading the answer to her next question. "How was he Tony? I mean, their has to be a reason for why he didn't come back with you two."

Tony looked at her, he couldn't lie, but didn't want to weigh her down with any more bad news either, he had done enough of that for one day. "He's going to be okay."

Kim smiled at him, knowing what he was doing, Tony smiled too, they both understood. With that he left the room as Kim wondered what was going on, and what could have happened to make her dad lie about his brother, his only living relative.
