Kim crept into the darkened room and began to gently shake Jack awake.
"Dad?"
No response, she shook a little harder.
"Dad come on wake up!"
"Huh," he grumbled rolling over, grabbing at the quilt and pulling it to his chest.
"Dad," he whined more urgently as she thought of the guest waiting in the dining room. "You have a visitor."
"I have a need for sleep," he muttered as his eyes dropped shut again, "go away," he grumbled.
"From CTU," she continued, "Her names Chloe."
"What!" Jacks eyes snapped open as he shot up in a flash. "Chloe? From CTU?"
"She's in the living room waiting to see you. She said it was important."
"Ah shit," he muttered to himself as he looked around the room, before quickly shielding his eyes as Kim switched the light on. "Tell her I'll be there in a moment," he said as he stumbled out of bed and pulled some loose tracksuit bottoms on over his shorts, leaving the crumpled black tee as it was.
Rubbing the sleep from his eyes Jack made his way through the apartment with a bemused look on his face. Waking up at 4 in the morning to find Chloe waiting for you wasn't something he could admit to experiencing often.
"Good morning Jack," she said standing up to greet him, both feeling equally uncomfortable.
"Do you know what time it is," Jack groaned, "and how the hell did you find this place?"
"I hacked into your records, and its almost four a.m. Don't moan Jack I haven't even been to sleep yet," she added.
"Okay," he said, moving to sit down as he rubbed at his face again. "So what's up?"
"Well you wanted me to look into Wilkes money flow right?"
"Yeah."
"Well I found some very interesting information. Michael is pouring money into the bar on a weeks basis, and what he's putting in is coming from his brothers account."
"Did you manage to trace where else Daniels money is going?"
"You know," she said defiantly, "I tried to contact you with this, but your cell was off, I really went out of my way to give you this information."
Jack stared at her, waiting for her to move on, not allowing himself to bite.
"Anyway, Daniels money is leaking to the other 3 names you gave me. The structure Wilde gave you is definitely right, those three and the two brothers are leading this."
"Okay," he said, getting up and pacing around the room as he thought it through.
"There's something else though," Chloe sneered, knowing this would be the big one. "I managed to get a list of 9 names, who are all getting a similar sum on a monthly basis. Chase checked them out, looks like they're part of his team. Could be the whole unit. After you take down the brothers and control the other 3, these guys will be easy takes."
"That's great, did Chase cross check them through the database?"
"Yeah, nothing special came from it. Although you may be interested to know that Neilson's name came up as one of the nine. Didn't he kill one of your targets?"
"Yeah," Jack said, scratching his head as he thought about this, "Was Wilde on the list?"
"Yes. You stole my climatic point," she stabbed sarcastically.
"This is great," he said, genuinely impressed, "with Wilde by my side, and knowledge of Neilson, getting in will be easy."
"I hope so," she said unconvincingly, "because if it goes wrong you're a dead man, and then Tony's gonna be mad as hell and I can't deal with this right now."
"It will be fine - don't worry. Chase and I will cover for you."
"That's not very reassuring," she responded, staring at him blankly.
"Anything else?" He asked, trying to hold his temper.
"No. I'm gonna go back to the office, help Chase with this satellite imagery, you want it to be covert don't you?"
"Yeah," he nodded.
"Then why the hell did you ask him to do it?"
"I didn't… Never mind," he stuttered, "thanks a lot for this, its going to be very helpful."
"You're welcome," she said, "I'll see myself out."
Jack watched her leave before going to Kim's room, she was back in bed but awake.
"She wake you up," he asked sitting on the edge of her bed.
"She was weird," Kim muttered sleepily.
"Yeah," Jack laughed, "I'm sorry you had to get up."
"Its okay," she groaned before falling back to sleep.
Jack took great care to shut the door without making a sound, before heading to his office. Getting comfortable in his chair he grabbed a notepad and began to scribble the connections down, before outlining the information which was relevant to him whilst he would be undercover. After that he made a list of the information an outsider wouldn't be aware of, so he couldn't blow his cover. Once the lists were compiled he silently memorised the information, not bothering to go back to bed.
