Just the two of us (Number 5)

S1 E7-The day that was

Five finished his coffee and tossed the empty cup. "I don't know...yet," he said. "But I do know he is responsible for the Apocalypse. So we have to Find him" Five said. "How is he connected to what's going to happen?" Luther asked. "I don't know" "Wait so you just know his name?" Quinlin asked him. "That's enough" Five said. "There are probably dozen's so Harold Jenkinses in town," Diego said as he stood in front of Quinlin. "Well, we better start looking then," Five said as he shrugged. 

"I'm sorry, am I the only one skeptical here? I mean, how exactly do you know all of this about what's his name?" Allison paused. "Harold Jenkins. you know those lunatics in masks who attracted the house?" Five asked. "Oh yeah, I remember those guys," Klaus said. "Yeah, the ones that attacked us when you were getting drunk," Diego said in a fake surprised voice. "yeah, them. They were sent by the Temps commission to stop me from coming back and preventing the end of life on Earth" Five said. "The Temps what?" Allison asked. "My former employer. They monitor all of time and space to make sure that whatever is supposed to happen...Happens" Five answered. 

"What do you mean protect time and space?" "Where is this Hazel Five?" "My skin is on fire" "I need a beer" 

"Do you have any idea how insane that sounds?" Allison asked. "You know whats else is insane? I look like a thirteen-year-old boy, Quinlin looks sixteen, Klaus talks to the dead, and Luther thinks he's fooling everybody with that overcoat. Everything about us is insane. It always has been" Five said. "Amen," Quinlin said softly as she raised her fist in the air. "We didn't choose this life, we're just living it... For the next three days anyway" Five continued.

 "But the last time we tried to stop it, we all died. Why is this any different? what shouldn't I go home to my daughter?" Allison asked. "Because this time we have Five" Quinlin said as she got up and stood next to Diego. "And we have the name of the man responsible. Guys, we actually have a chance of saving the lives of billions of people. Including Claire" Five said softly. "You know her name?" Allison asked as she stood up straight. "I do, I'd like to live long enough to meet her," Five said as he looked at his sister. 

"Alright. let's get this bastard" Allison said as she walked out. "You had me at Gerald Jenkins," Diego said. "Harold Jenkins," Quinlin said. "Whatever. I've already lost one person this week, I'm not losing anyone else" Diego said as he briefly glared at Quinlin. "And Luther?" Five asked. "Yeah, you guys go. I'm gonna stay and go through dad's files" Luther said.

 Quinlin rolled her eyes. "We don't have time for this" Five said before he turned to Quinlin. "Ya you're not going out of my sight," She said as she walked towards him. "Last time that happened I was tortured," she said softly as she walked past him and Diego. "What?" Five asked her but she ignored him, "Let's roll. I know where we can find this asshole. Klaus, you're with me" Diego said as he pointed to the door. "Yeah I -- I'm good," Klaus said as he shook his head. " I think, I'll uhh... I think I'll pass... I'm... feeling a little under the weather...so, uhh..." Klaus said as he walked up to his room.

"I know this Jenkin dude has to have a record. We gotta get our hands on the file" Diego said as he undid his seatbelt. "And your plan is to what? Waltz in there and just ask for it?" Allison asked. "I know the station like the back of my hand is, spent a lot of time inside," Diego said. "Handcuffed" Quinlin quipped. "Whatever, here's the plan-" "Plan? I'm just gonna blink in and get the file" Five said as he shook his head. "You don't know the ins and outs of this place". "I literally just did this yesterday. My yesterday not yours," he said as he looked at everyone in the car. 

*********

They got out of the car and Five and Quinlin leaned on a wall while Allison was calling Vanya. She leaned her head on his shoulder and sighed. "I hate life," she said as she looked at the cars passing. "make the two of us," Five said as he looked down at her. "You okay?" he asked her, she lifted her head off his shoulder and nodded. 

Diego came walking back with the file and Allison took it out of his hand. Quinlin peered over her arm to look. She opened the file and they both shared a look. "Holy shit," they both said at the same time as they looked at the photo. "What?" Five asked. "Harold Jenkins is Leonard Peabody," Allison said as she showed them the picture.

"Be careful okay? We don't know what Peabody is capable of" Allison said as they all got out of the car and headed to Leonard's house. "Yeah, he didn't seem dangerous when I first saw him. Looked Kinda scrawny" Diego said. "Well, so are most serial killers and mass murderers. I mean look at him" Allison said as she pointed at Five. "Thanks," He said. "Good point, so what's this guy want with Vanya?" Diego asked. Allison went in through the window unnoticed. "I don't know. How about we ask him after we kill him?" Five said as he walked side by side with Quinlin. 

Five grabbed Quinlin and Jumped inside the house and they all heard and crashing sound. Diego was laying on the ground, glass surrounding him and a huge hole in the door. "Subtle," Allison said and Quinlin grabbed the door handle and pulled it, "You know the door was unlocked," Quinlin said as she tried to contain her chuckle. "Yeah, well, my way works just fine. Yell, if you uh... you know, you're in trouble" Diego said as he walked away. "Inspiring leadership," five said as he smirked. "One of the greats" Allison said sarcastically before they all split up. 

"Guys, you need to see this" Allisons voice came muffled and all the sibling went up to the attic where she called out from. "all our faces are burnt off," Quinlin said as she looked at the posters and the figurines all damaged. "well, that's not creepy," Diego said sarcastically. Five suddenly fell on the ground with a thump. "Five!" Quinlin exclaimed. Diego lifted his shirt and saw the shrapnel wound. "Why didn't you say anything?" Allison asked. "You have to keep going. so...close" he said before he lost consciousness. "Five, Five" Quinlin said. Diego picked five up and they made their way to the car. 

Grace was healing Five and Quinlin sat next to him on the other side. "Thanks, mom" Quinlin said softly. Grace smiled and nodded, she got up and stroked the girl's hair before giving her a kiss on the head and leaving. Quinlin looked at Five and shook her head. "You'll be the death of me," she said fondly as she pushed his hair from his face.
