After the first failed attempt on Daniel's life, John Kruger decided to hire yet another Hitman to take out Daniel. And Daniel finally met with Elaine's Accountant with whom he agreed to pay the money she was asking for. And unknowingly, Elaine led Daniel and Siya to her flat. And at the flat, Daniel accidentally shot Siya before shooting both Elaine and her Accountant.

"Danny.." Siya said coughing awkwardly and Daniel who was soundly snoring besides him sprung.
"Hey buddy, you up? " Daniel forced a smile
"Where are we? what happened to.." Siya tried to speak but Daniel hushed him
"Take it easy son, you're not ready to open that lil bin of yours" Daniel said sternly and to his surprise, Siya looked the other way quietly

"Daniel "Killer" Khumalo, you know you just like your father, too reckless and self-serving" Mario Van Oosten stood leaning against the door
"What did you say?" Daniel turned around
"You heard me, I knew your father for a very long time and he was exactly like you are and I bet you he still is" Mario said
"Daniel, your little rampage nearly cost me two valuable men" Mario added as he approached
"My father? fuck you talking about Van Oosten, my father died a long time ago in America" Daniel got up slowly trying to process what was being said to him
"So that's what Beauty told you huh? listen here you little shit, your father isn't dead, he's doin' time at West Hill Maximum Prison!"
Daniel's world nearly came crushing down as he listened to Van Oosten.
WHAT WAS HE TALKING ABOUT? WHO WAS THIS KHUMALO? Daniel scratched far back in his memories

"OK, how do you know my mother's name? what the hell is going on here Van Oosten?" Daniel asked
"How I know your mom's name is besides the point here, why did you kill those people yesterday? why Daniel!" Mario Van Oosten lost his cool
"They knew about the Leather Guy and tried to blackmail me" Daniel replied calmly aware of Van Oosten's rage
"Even if they did Daniel, there are still far more efficient ways you could've used instead of killing them" Van Oosten came through
"I know but they were threatening me and I had very little time to find "more efficient ways" to deal with them, you know what I don't have to explain myself to you, tell me why you called me by Khumalo?" Daniel said
"Because that's your real surname, the surname of the notorious Jackson Khumalo, your real father" Mario Van Oosten finished with a grin and the look on Daniel's face was priceless.
"What? no that can't be true, see my father died a long time ago, this is bullshit" Daniel said shakily, his mind all over the place
"You know what, I don't have time for this, I'm going home!" Daniel stormed out and before he could bang door behind him, he heard Mario say "It's not bullshit sonny, it's the truth
