An angry Diego and a worried Lorna walk through the door as Diego says. "Piece of shit.

The two walk down the stairs as Lorna yells out to Diego. "Diego don't! Diego!"

Diego rushes towards Five and Luther as he asks them. "Do you have any idea what you just did?"

Luther blocks Diego from hurting Five as Lorna rushes towards the two men.

Diego grunts and struggles as Luther holds him back. "Nope, let me- - Get your ape hands off me!"

Luther lifts Diego up as he says. "I can do this as long as it takes for you to calm down."

Lorna now next to Luther puts a hand on Diego's arm. "Diego. I know your having a bad day, but you need to calm down. He probably doesn't even know. Just please calm down."

Diego pants as he says. "Fine."

Luther puts Diego down and Lorna sighs in relief as Luther asks. "Now, wanna tell us what your talkin' about?"

Diego answers. "Our brother has been pretty busy since they got back. He was in the middle of that shootout at Giddy's, and then at Gimble Brothers, after the guys in masks attacked the Academy, looking for them."

He points to his sibling as Five retorts. "None of which is any of your concern."

Diego pants as Luther slightly holds him back. "It is now. They just killed my friend."

Lorna approaches Diego, putting her hand on his shoulder as Luther turns to Five. "Who are they, Five?"

Five answers. "They work for my former employer. A woman called The Handler. She sent them... to stop me. Then, as soon as Diego's friend got in their way, well, fair game."

Diego says. "And now they're my fair game. And I'm going to see to it they pay."

Lorna sighs as she follows him. "Diego, no."

Five agrees. "That would be a mistake, Diego. They've killed people far more dangerous than you."

Diego ignores his warnings and just says. "Yeah, we'll see about that."

Lorna runs after Diego as she calls out to him. "Diego, no. Diego!"

The two other siblings just sit and stand there as the door slams.

(Lorna wears the same thing from the last chapter)

Lorna followed Diego to his car as he banged his hand against the side of it. She stops Diego from banging the car by putting her hand on his.

Diego looks up from his car and looks over to Lorna. He had tears streaming down his face, his eyes were red and puffy.

Lorna just put her hands on either side of his face.

Diego slowly put his hands on hers, before he continued to cry and Lorna let him. She even pulled Diego into a hug and let him cry into her shoulder.

The two stayed like that, quiet and in each other embrace.

Now back at the academy, Lorna watches as Diego starts arming himself with knives, putting them in a metal box. She sighs as she tries getting him to stop. "Diego stop. Diego! Diego stop!"

Diego looses it and snaps. "Just shut up and leave me alone!"

Lorna stands there with tears in her eyes as she gives Diego a mad yet hurt look. Diego sighs and close his eyes. "Lorna, I..."

He was cut off by Lorna walking away and as she starts to cry. Diego realizes what he's done and tries to go after her. "Lorna. Lorna, stop. Lorna. Lorna!"
