Five started pacing.
Oh no, he's freaking out.
I put my arm around him, but he shook me away. I tried to hide my disappointment, but he saw anyway.
"Of course Dad would be involved in the assassination, I should've known," Diego said, shaking his head.
Five continued pacing and ran a hand through his hair. "No, no, you're jumping to conclusions,"
"Well what else is he doing standing on the grassy knoll holding an open, black, umbrella on a sunny day in Dallas on the exact same moment the president gets shot?"
"It doesn't look good, I'll admit it,"
"He's the signalman for whole goddamn thing."
Five chewed his lip. "Easy, Diego, seriously,"
"It makes sense," Diego argued. "This is what Hazel was trying to tell you; we have to stop Dad from killing the President."
"Calm down. Dad was no Boy Scout, but Presidential assassination? Never been his thing."
"How would you know? You skipped out on his golden years."
Ouch.
Five's face flushed with anger he could hardly contain. "Skipped out? You think I had it easy, Diego? I was alone for forty-five years-"
I took this chance to slip my arm around him and rub his back, praying it would calm both of us.
"We don't have time for this right now," I said firmly, attempting my best 'Mom' voice. "Your dad's in Dallas, right? Let's just go talk to him. Maybe he can help us fix the timeline."
"Dallas is a big place, we have to find him first."
I rolled my eyes. "Gee, if only we had some magical, old-timey way of finding people and their address,"

Five found Elliot's phone book and he and Diego began flipping through it. They bickered until they found the address for The Umbrella Academy.
"Let's go," Diego said, grabbing a knife.
He and Five made their way towards the door, me on their tail.
