"Get into Elliott's and hide, okay? I'll make sure she thinks you're dead" Five told Willow when they were in the alleyway, opening the door of the store and holding it for her.
Five then stood alone in the alleyway, covered in blood and holding the plastic bag that held AJ Charmichael in it.
"Well?" The Handler asked as she walked up to the duo. Five didn't answer, only holding out the plastic bag that contained AJ.
"Oh! AJ!" she gasped as she grabbed the bag from his hands, cackling as she held him before looking down at Five. "You know, you're really starting to fill out those tight little shorts of yours"
"Why do quiet?" The Handler asked when she noticed how silent he was. "I thought you'd be buzzing after this morning's slaughter"
"All this killing...I'm done with it" Five told her.
"What? Am I supposed to take this seriously?" she asked, taking a tissue out of her pocket and dabbing his bloody face lightly.
"What I did today, I did for my family" Five said. "I did it to save the world"
"Please. Spare me your little assassin with the heart of gold routine, will you? You didn't do anything for your family, Five. After all, you killed your brother's girlfriend and his unborn child" The Handler revealed, thinking that he didn't know about the baby.
"Here" she said as she picked up the briefcase "Per our agreement, this will get you and your siblings back to 2019. You have 90 minutes" she told him before turning on her heel to walk away
"You said nothing about a time limit" Five said, following her.
"Actually you have 89 minutes and 30 seconds. Better hurry" she taunted.
"This is impossible, okay? My siblings are scattered across the city" Five argued.
"Nothing is impossible. You proved that this morning when you killed the board" The Handler replied, booping him on the nose.
"I need more time" Five pleaded.
"Any more time and people will start asking questions. The sooner you get home and out of this time period, the better off we'll both be, so ticktock, ticktok" she taunted before he teleported away.

"What is up fuckers?" Willow asked rhetorically as she walked into Elliott's, taken aback when she saw the dead body on the dentist's chair.
