The Year 1985

Chapter 07: The Girl

The girl in the picture could lead them against The Handler. Five clarified how much she could help them to leave this timeline and go back to the year 2019. However, the girl is looking strange, and unusual. He concluded it would be very difficult to find this girl around the city of Dallas. Five assured she's just hiding around because she knows someone is searching for her.

When locating the girl, they should always be aware of their surroundings. There is a possibility that The Handler was confidentially watching their actions and strategy, also there are people that conceivably be disguised as normal citizens of the city who could be her allies. They should always be careful with everything they would accomplish.

Five deeply stared again into the captivating eyes of the girl from the picture, tension abruptly paced to his thoughts that the surroundings turned indistinct. The girl has something, something extraordinary.

FLASHBACK: The Temps Commission, 43 days before the timeline altering

"Well, that's new and very unusual of you, what are you up to these days, Five?" The Handler said as she arranged those wrapped candies separated into two tiny glass containers, and smiled once again. "I am currently finding a new mission to achieve. Still on the part of searching." He shrugged as he took a quick glimpse of those candies. Five raised an eyebrow and looked at her likewise. She gestured for him to take a seat but he refused, now having a suspicion that the Handler is planning something judging by the behavior she is showing.

"So, it seems like it's your turn to say something and explain what you have done." Five proceeded to smile ironically, waiting for an expected answer from the Handler, who was now giving him subtle humiliation drawn on her face. Her guilt starts to increase, internally panics, and doesn't have any idea what she should answer back.

"What are you talking about, young man? What did come to your mind?"

"Are you trying to deny anything now? I am currently witnessing what's on your desk. Who is that girl and why are you spying on us?" He immediately responded, slowly getting some wrapped candies offered by the Handler and keeping them in his firm grip. An opened white folder caught his attention as why he questioned. The woman began to stand up as she roamed around her office, revealing that annoying smile she has.

"What am I denying, little guy? You know, I don't know what you're talking about. Is this an accusation again? And, whose girl are you talking about?" She crossed her arms and threw Five a suspicious stare. He gradually opened the wrapped candy he grabbed from the containers, as the Handler is foreseeing Five would eat the candy.

The Hargreeves gave her a quick smile as he abruptly threw the piece of candy on the floor and severely stepped on it. It began to break up into tiny little pieces, revealing a small-shaped capsule tracking device, blinking green and red lights. The Handler remained owl-eyed after seeing what Five did, as she was given that smirk of his. He stepped on the tracking device resulting in it cleaving awfully. She can't believe how the young-looking Hargreeves knew about her agenda.

"I forgot, you're the genius one among your extraordinary siblings. Scared me? Unfortunately, no, young man." The Handler suddenly pulled the pistol from her hidden gun belt and aimed at him from a distance. "Try me, lunatic." Five said calmly, as she began to fire the gun due to what he just described her as it triggered her madness. The Hargreeves instantly teleported away from his spot to go near the Handler. He soon snatched the gun from the blonde-haired woman and barbarously rolled his arm to her neck, choking her to death.

"Who is the girl?" Five said with his low voice to her ear, earning whimpering noises from the Handler. His hostility gazed at her and he impatiently waited for an answer, tightening his arm against her neck. "I'll ask you one more time. Who is the girl?"
