Song: Blood Like Lemonade
I watched as a woman was choking Klaus, asking where Five was. He was stripped bare with only a towel around his waist, and I only had a tank top and the shorts I was wearing when I was taken. Klaus was all bloody and so was I as they tortured both of us trying to get answers. We were both tied to a chair, facing eachother.
"Don't... stop... I'm almost...there." I looked up at the ceiling as the woman and man walked off as they were disgusted. I don't even want to know I said in my head.
"Oh.. ah there's nothing like a little stranglin to get the blood flowin am I right." Klaus laughed, and was slapped by the man again, "whats so funny you asshole." "Well for one you spent the last ten hours beating me senseless, and choking my niece, and you've learned.. absolutely nothing. I mean nobody tells me shit and the truth is I'm the one person in the house no body will even notice is gone, you assholes kidnapped the wrong guy." I let out a stifled laugh along with him, and the man shut us both up with a slap, "please make him stop talking."
I had peeled my eyes away from the ceiling, now."Let's waterboard him." The woman came over and pulled his head back with a towel over his eyes, and the man poured water on it. I winced at the sight of him biting the towel and catching water from what was dripping past. They two pulled away, defeated. "Ah, oh! I need that, I was.. so parched... thank you... thank you." Klaus smiled up at the ceiling and I just stared probably wearing the same expression as the two people who tortured him, who were now in the bathroom.

When Diego was on Eudoras porch, he only told her about his Mom. He didn't want to worry her about something he was guilty of, not keeping close watch on Frances. Even though he couldnt have known, he felt terrible and was miserable, trying to find her and the psychos.

"Maybe you're not hitting them hard enough."
"Me? You're the one with the stupid orthopedic bracelet."
"I told you already, it's just for support."

"Withdrawal, it's starting now isn't it? Must be, otherwise who's the dead babushka?"Ben spoke, to only Klaus who could hear him.
"I don't know, it's driving me crazy the bitch won't shut up." Klaus called.
"Excuse me? Who are you talking to." Frances whispered to him, he just payed only a small glance.
"Hey, watch your mouth didn't you say she was your niece?" The man turned to Frances and Klaus assuming he was yelling at her.
"Just stay calm Klaus, and don't freak out Frances." Ben spoke calmly.

"Torturing works best when you know who you're torturing, hand me their coats."
The woman was handed both their coats. "Wait, wait, what are you doing?"
"Let's see-"
"That's mine, that my personal stuff." Klaus murmured.
"Oh! What do we have here." Cha cha pulled something from Klaus' pocket.
"No no no no, be careful with that. That's my asthma medication."
Frances glared at him and mouthed "Klaus" he looked at her with sorrowful eyes, then flipped out once his pills were being crushed. "We can have a conversation, we are adults." Hazel crushed more, getting an even bigger reaction from Klaus."Hand me her jacket." Cha cha reached a hand out and Hazel tossed her jacket. She checked the pockets and pulled out a pocket knife.
"Wait hold it hold it what are you-" Frances whined, "Hey Hey, listen I can get you cash, amputee hookers, whatever." Klaus bribed, hoping they wouldn't use it to hurt Frances. Cha cha had taken the knife out from safety and held the knife to Frances' neck, and Frances looked down in terror, as the knife stayed put. Klaus' pockets were being searched, and he pulled out "special chocolate." Cha cha hadn't moved the knife any further into her though, and only held it there as she watched Hazel bite from Klaus' chocolate. "Are you going to tell them that it's, special chocolate?" "No not until they're high as kites." Klaus chuckled, his attention was turned back to Frances.Cha Cha applied a bit more pressure to the knife. Frances obviously didnt want to be cut, but knew better than to also put her family in danger, and her uncle as well. Not only that but she didn't know anything, it was Klaus who knew. "Tell us everything." Cha cha spoke to Frances, as her head was now cocked back. Klaus during this time was pleading, but was ignored. "Fine fine." He broke his silence. Hazel and Cha Cha both turned to him. Klaus cried a bit, hopefully for Frances, not drugs. "I don't know where Five is, I wasn't lying about that. But I can tell you hasn't been making much sense since he came back." Cha cha lifted the knife and put it back into safety, and walked behind Klaus. Frances having a shaky breath, and looking thankfully at her uncle.
"Elaborate." Hazel spoke.
"He's just been a— a— acting like a lunatic. He's sitting in this van infront of a— lab or something and looking for the owner of an eyeball." he continued as the two demanded more information. "One of those fake ones, Five said it had something to do with the end of times or something." Klaus choked up.
————————
Klaus was trying to scream through the duct tape, Frances had given up at this point and in the position in the closet, their backs were facing eachother so she rested her head on his shoulder. They both had heard the vacuum start, and they both tried to scream, but no use.
————
"Oh my god they're still here." They both looked up at their torturers.
"Hi." Hazel pulled both their chairs out into the spot they were originally in, this time their backs remained touching like they were,in the closet. Frances couldn't see anything but the door, and heard Klaus mumbling, and the tape being ripped off. "What are you saying." "You guys are scarier without the masks." She heard a smack, and chuckled under her tape. "That's no way to say hello to your old friends is it?" Hazel spoke. "Can we call it a night, I already gave you what you wanted just please... let us go, please." "Well technically we want your brother, is he here now?" "Uh, you're gonna have to be a little more specific than that." Another smack was heard, and the chair slightly tipped. "I told you already, he's not coming. No one will.""Well we left him a message, he knows now. When he comes for you two we will be ready." The lights were shut off, and they turned Klaus so he was next to Frances facing the same way and before they closed the curtains they peeled the tape from Frances.
Klaus was whimpering, and Frances head was hanging her head down from exhaustion, blocking out everything including Klaus. Frances head popped up as tape was put over their mouths again and turned to Klaus since he was screaming at a person walking down a hallway.
Frances started to bang her head on the table, and Klaus took over as her forhead was bruised from a previous beating that night.The lock turned and Frances' eyes lit up in relief as she saw her Mom who immediately looked at her with a look of anger, saddness and questions which she didn't ask and immediately cut the ropes of both her and Klaus' seats. Patch pushed Klaus and Frances down as Hazel poked his head out from true bathroom. Klaus pulled Frances to the vent, and opened it. Him not letting go of her hand and pulling her though with him.
