I let out a sigh as I walked into the building and up the stairs towards Thomas' office. After knocking on the door I walked in to see him at a desk.

"Izzy! I'm so thrilled to see you. What can I do for you?" He asked with a smile.

"I was wondering if I could talk to your wife, I need help with some... lady problems." I said with a laugh.

"Of course! Say no more. She is at home right now, but you can go see her. Here is the address." He said as he wrote down something on a piece of paper and handed it to me.

"Thank you." I said as I turned and left the building.

It wasn't a long drive to his house and when I pulled up I saw her waiting. I slowly got out and she nodded for me to come in. I followed her to a small room and she handed me a glass of tea.

"Thomas said you where coming." She explained.

"I.... I want to ask you about something." I said softly.

"I know, Anthony Ketch has already called."

"You know him?"

"He is my brother." She said softly.

"You where the one I met at the park." I said softly.

"Yes." She said softly.

"Who is the soldier?" I asked calmly.

"The Soldier is the one who put the bullet through your mother."

"Who is the Soldier?"

"I can't say.... but find her and you will find the answers you need." She said softly.

"Did Thomas try to kill my mother?"

She nodded her head and I let out a sigh.

"You know.... I'm starting to ask myself how many people actually hated my mother?"

"More then I can count."

"How did you know her?" I asked softly.

"She and Anthony had a secret affair one that ended..... when she learned that she was pregnant with you." She said softly.

"That makes no since.... wait are you implying-"

"I'm implying nothing just telling you the truth." She said as she stood up.

She handed me a piece of paper and then walked out of the room. I unfolded it and let out a gasp.

I'm sorry

Gas flooded into the room and I covered my mouth and ran to the door, only to see that it was locked. I gasped for air and before I knew it I hit the ground. My eyes slowly started to close and the last thing I saw was a guy in a glass mask walk into the room.

When I opened my eyes I was tied to a chair and my father was in front of me chained to a pipe.

"Dad?" I asked as I looked at him shocked.

"You're finally up, thank god." He said as he let out a sigh of relief.

"Where are we?" I asked as I looked around.

"I don't know, Thomas brought us here."

"Why?"

"I think he was the one to kill your mother."

"Do you know a Anthony Ketch?"

"Yes, how do you know that name?"

"Mom told me about him once and I met him..... he said mom was alive."

"That isn't possible."

"I know, but he was so sure of it.... he led me to Thomas.... dad why does Ketch hate mom?"

"I don't know."

"Well he said you knew..... and Thomas' wife said mom was having an affair with him before I was born."

"She was..... and.... and it resulted in you."

"What are you saying?"

"I'm saying I'm not your biological father.... but you are still my little girl..... look your mother wasn't perfect and she made mistakes but Ketch couldn't raise you he was insane and so we lied about him being your father..... to protect you from him.... guess he never forgave her." He said softly.

"He threatened Mycroft.... and all the people I love.... because of what you and mom did.... and now I'm stuck tied to a chair because of all the secrets.... when will the lies stop?"

"I always asked that question myself. Hello brother." Thomas said as he walked into the room.

"Thomas let Izzy go.... She has nothing to do with this!" Dad exclaimed.

"But she does, she knows to much.... and now she has to die." He said calmly.

"Please.... She is your niece!"

"Adopted niece.... you know when you took Jane...... I sword I would make you pay.... I didn't kill Jane.... I wish I had.... but since she is dead... I'll have to settle with her daughter." He said as he pulled out a gun.

"Please don't hurt her! Don't hurt my daughter!" Dad yelled as he walked up to me.

I closed my eyes and felt tears stream down my face. I heard the gun cock and then I heard a bang. I waited for the pain to come but when I felt nothing I opened my eyes to see Thomas on the ground with a bullet hole through his chest. I looked up to see a woman holding a gun. She had a mask covering her face and she rushed up to my dad and uncuffed him. I watched as she took her mask off and my dad looked at her shocked.

"Jane?" He said shocked.

"Hi sweetheart." She said softly.

"Mom?" I asked as she turned to look at me.

I felt tears stream down my face as she untied me and pulled me into a hug.

"I thought you were dead." I whispered as I hugged her.

"I'm so sorry I put you through this.... I thought I was protecting you and I put you in danger." She said as she pulled away and whipped my tears away.

"How are you alive?"

"I faked my death.... your friend Mycroft called and told me everything. When he said you were missing I got on a plane and told him to meet me here. He should be outside right about now." She explained.

I nodded my head and we walked outside and I saw a group cop cars vans pull up.
