It was already night when they arrived at the place, it actually helped as they wouldn't get caught for trespassing.

"'D.S. Umbrella.' This is it." Diego muttered while they went out of the car.

The two came to a halt, making the girl stop on her tracks as well.

"You okay?" Diego asked his brother.

"Yeah, fine. Just..." Five started and approached the door.

Amura just looked at him worried.

While the taller man pulled a knife out and started to meddle with the door's lock, "How long's it been since you've seen the old man?"

"Forty-five years."

"That's a trip."

"No kidding." Five answered, leaning on the door.

Amura felt like she shouldn't be there, the conversation was a family matter so the only thing she could do was listen.

"You know, when I was stuck out there in the apocalypse, there wasn't a day that went by where I didn't hear his voice in my head." Five added while observing the quiet girl, referring to their Father.

"What was he saying?" Diego asked before muttering a, 'Ah, shit.' as he can't picklock the door.

Making the girl frustrated just by watching.

"'I told you so.'" The boy tried to imitate making Diego and Amura chuckle lightly.

"Well, if Dad's here, he's never met you before, so he can't say 'I told you so.'" The older-looking man tried to comfort.

Which Amura greatly appreciated.

"I'm sure he'll find a way." Five said before entering the premises with his spatial warp and opening the door for the two.

"Right. Gotta remember that." Diego referred to Five's power and went in.

"What about you Amura?" He asked and looked at her who's only following them behind quietly.

She looked at them with her amethyst eyes, all wide at being acknowledged, "What about me?"

"Are you okay?" This made the girl smile while the boy anticipated for her answer.

"If I'll be honest, then I'll say no... But I have no time for such things at the moment." She answered and walked past the two men.

Five just pursed his lips and looked at Diego, who's only looking at him as well.

Both have worry in their eyes.

The three proceeded inside, Five opening a lamp to help them see their surroundings more clearly.

But alas, the electricity seems to be out.

"Shit." The boy muttered when he came to a conclusion.

"Guess Dad wasn't much for home décor." Diego stated while the boy patted a dusty pillow.

"Feels more like a front."

"A front for what?" The man asked.

"I don't know."

"Maybe something big..." Amura tried to guess as well, while observing the facility.

"As big as the President's murder." Diego stated making the girl roll her eyes.

"Okay, convince yourself." She replied which was ignored.

"Well, I'll take the left. Yell if you, uh... get in trouble." The taller man said and left.
