the time to beat around the bush playing mind games."
"I know, but I've been thinking, what Jack said did make sense. After all, the only reason he is here is because Jack called his bluff. He doesn't have the guts to do this, I can see it in him."
"The thing is Tony, all Jack did was chance it that he wouldn't kill him. We can't do that here, we don't have Jack here. Maybe he could have got through to him somehow, but I really can't see this working." Chappelle thought for a moment, thinking about what Tony had just said, "Tony. Lets look at this from all angles. Daniel is going to detonate a bomb which he is positive will wipe out himself and Jack, in the process of detonating. If this is so, why couldn't he kill Jack earlier?"
"That's what I'm saying Ryan. He doesn't have the guts, he couldn't bring himself to hurt Jack." Tony said, wondering if he could ever get through to Ryan.
"Well that could be the case, or perhaps it means something else. Somebody else could detonate the bomb, or maybe its not set to go off in LA at all."
Tony sighed, how Ryan managed to be director he had no idea. "Ryan, this bomb is going off in LA. But yes, if someone else was responsible for the bomb, it would make sense. Daniel could have accepted, even embraced his and Jack's fate, but doesn't want to be the one responsible for his death."
Kim coughed slightly, to announce her presence in the doorway of the room. "I want to talk to Daniel." She said confidently.
Ryan immediately scoffed at the thought, Tony was a little less direct with his reservations. "Kim that's not going to happen, we are going to interrogate him soon."
"Come on Tony. I'm sat here doing nothing because Chloé has took over my entire workload. Let me talk to him. Maybe my presence will dinentoriate him, I could play the guilt trip on him more than anyone else, after all, I am his niece..."
Tony didn't want to admit it, but she was right, her presence alone could help. He looked to Chappelle who seemed unsure. "Kim, I don't like the idea of this, Jack will go crazy when he finds out..." he said, weighing up the pros and cons in his mind.
"My dad is not here, I am. Please, let me do this." She said pleadingly.
Ryan looked defeated. "Fine, but I am bringing in Johnson, incase this doesn't work."
"That's fine." She said, before turning and heading away. She began walking over to her terminal to get her jacket. She passed by Chloé, who perked up and asked, "Kim, where did you store those files, I cant find them." She asked impatiently, in her snotty tone.
"There in my document portfolio Chloé." She said not even breaking her stride.
This annoyed Chloé, who stood up angrily, "Kim your not supposed to store them their, that's very irresponsible and is going against your set protocol!"
Kim turned around to face her, he was about to insult her, but instead she spoke in a calm tone, "Enough Chloé, I have a witness to interrogate."
The look on her face was priceless, Kim thought as she turned and headed back over to the rooms where he was being held.
Chloé huffed and puffed before going off to find Tony, to complain about that. Tony was walking over to go inside with Kim, he saw Chloé, or more importantly, the look on her face. "I don't have time for whatever it is your complaining about Chloé, just get on with your work."
"But Tony!" She screeched, like a child.
"Look Chloé, just shut up will you!" He yelled, grabbing the attention of everyone in C.T.U. He took one more look at her before he headed over to Kim who was waiting for him. He arrived and the security guards unlocked the door and stepped aside to let them enter.
Daniel was restrained physically, but also looked defeated, and things hadn't even begun. Tony stood in the corner of the room with his arms folded across his chest. He watched as Kim strode over to the chair opposite him and confidently sat down.
Daniel finally tore his eyes away from the spot on the floor he had been studying and looked up. His eyes quickly showed his surprise, and spoke, shocking both Tony and Kim.
"Hello Kim." He said smugly, realising that they had no idea how he knew her.
