"Almeida, how's the intel coming."
"Why don't you tell me what your playing at Ryan." He spoke in a deadly threatening tone.
"What?" Chappelle asked, confused.
"Don't blow me over Ryan. I know that you are postponing the interrogations of those two men, so you better have a damn good excuse or I swear to God I'll make sure your locked up for life if your playing both sides."
"Don't be ridiculous! I'm not stalling nothing Tony, your out of your mind, I'm acting on orders form Divison." He shouted, enraged at his accusation.
"Oh yeah, then tell me Ryan, why haven't Division notified it on their server page?" 'Got ya sucker,' Tony thought.
"We are treating this threat seriously and the people who know about those two men, are only people with a high security clearance. That it why it is not on the main page Tony. Now get to work and stop wasting my time with this nonsense! You need to be working on this bomb not checking up on me, now go!" He yelled angrily, as Tony left embarrassed.
Tony stormed down into the main area of C.T.U, both mad and embarrassed. 'I must really look a fool,' he thought. After a minutes reflection he decided it had been a small hunch to go on, and Chappelle was right, you needed a security clearance to know the information. He realised that working with Jack was taking its toll on his growing paranoia.

Charlie continued to circle the room, eyeing his guests like a lion does his prey. After a few minutes thought, he spoke, directing his words to Daniel.
"As you can see, we have been so graciously joined by some family of yours. Now, I will only ask you once, what did you tell C.T.U about our plans?" He spoke calmly, although Daniel had no doubt that he could flip in a matter of seconds.
"I told them nothing. They didn't ask. Your men took me before they had chance to interrogate me." He tried to match Charlie's calmness to try convince them he was telling the truth, but he kept gulping with fear. After he finished he sneaked a look over to Kim, he hoped this wouldn't cause a problem, seen as she had interrogated him herself. 'Jesus,' he thought, this is getting too complicated.
"I see." Charlie said. "That was rather unfortunate timing wasn't it?"
Daniel nodded his head in agreement, not wanting to trigger him by speaking.
"Do you agree?" Charlie asked, now spinning his head in Kim's direction.
'Oh shit,' Daniel thought, 'he's done his homework.'
Kim was a little startled, before she nodded her head nervously. "Yea, yeah, when the interrogators arrived his room was empty. You beat us to him." She tried to look disappointed, but gave up, she knew she looked scared, so she might as well show it.
"Ah." Charlie said, rubbing his hands together. " I see." He paused to look directly at Jack before continuing. "I see you have two liars in the family."
With that he rushed over to Daniel and grabbed him by the metal cuffs holding his hands behind his back and then threw him onto the floor.
"It is not wise to lie to me." He sneered, before kicking him. Daniel lay on his stomach, not moving. He didn't want to provoke an attack.
Charlie stalked over to Kim and Jack moved in front of her to protect her. Kate had already backed away out of fear. Charlie saw what Jack had done and swung for his face. Jack reached up and blocked the punch with his left arm, sending agonising pain through it as he did so, causing him to cry out. Charlie didn't waste a second, and threw another two swings into his chest, sending him to the floor gasping for breath through the white hot pain. He took a second to catch his breath before pushing himself up through the pain, before one of the three goons approached him with his gun aimed at him, the safety off. Jack understood what this meant and slumped back to the floor in agony, his injuries form the day taking their toll. Seconds later he could feel Kate at his side, she was trying not to cry with fear and from seeing him in pain.
Charlie turned back to face Kim, satisfied that Jack was under control, and grabbed a fistful of her short blonde hair pulling her up so they were level.
"Do not lie to me little girl." He hissed into her ear, before throwing her onto the floor to join Jack. She crawled over to him and she too could see how much pain he was in, blood soaking though the bandages on his chest already. He looked like he was going to pass out, and she hoped he would, as it would take him from his physical pain, and the pain of seeing his daughter handled roughly. It wasn't something he was accustomed to.
Charlie watched as she crawled over to her father, and was about to go get her again when his mobile rang.
Opening the silver flip phone up he answered, and seemed a little frustrated from what he was hearing. After giving his worker instructions he hung up, angered.
"So, you told them nothing huh?" He asked Daniel. "Then why is C.T.U. close to finding our location on the bomb?"
"I.... I told them nothing!" Daniel protested, knowing he had disclosed nothing of the location.
Charlie stood over him a dangerous look in his eyes, until he herd Kim speak up, as she pushed herself up off the floor, despite her fathers wishes.
"Its true. An analyst has been working on encrypting information we found at the safe house. That's where she will have got it from. There is no other way." She had to make herself stop from smiling, thinking she had calmed him down and got Daniel out of the deep end, but in reality, she had almost drowned him.
