Five and I walked into my room. I can definitely say that it has been a very eventful day.

"Get some sleep. Tomorrow we're gonna follow Lance and see what he's hiding," Five said.

"Okay, I'll see you in the morning," I smiled.

"Okay, night," he walked out.

"Night," I said as he shut the door.

"I hope my first aid kit is still under my bed," I whispered to myself as I bent down to look.

I found it and pulled it out. I took my uniform off and looked down at my wound.

Ooh, that looks bad.

I pulled the bullet out and cleaned it.

I love that I can heal people, but why can't I heal myself? It would be so much easier!

I taped a bunch of gauze over it. That should be good enough.

I put my pajamas on and climbed into bed.


*The next day*

I walked into Five's room to see him stitching up his arm. What the hell?

"Five! Why didn't you just let me heal it?" asked.

"Because I can take care of myself," he said.

I rolled my eyes, "God, you're so stubborn!"

He finished stitching it and put his shirt and blazer on. He zipped up the duffle bag that had Delores inside.

He's bringing her? Great! *Note the sarcasm*

"Let's go. We're going out the fire escape," He said.

"Why?" I asked.

"Because I want to avoid questions," he said.

"That's true. Let's go," I said.

We both climbed out his window and onto the fire escape.

"Damn it, where's dad's stuff?" We heard Klaus yell.

"Oh, God. What's he up to?" I asked.

"Who knows," Five said climbing down the ladder.

"Well, he's in the dumpster...you know what? I don't think I want to know," I said following Five down the ladder.

"I'd ask what you're up to Klaus, but then it occurred to me..." he stopped and looked at him, "I don't care."

"Hey guys, you know there are easier way's out of the house," Klaus said.

Five jumps the last few steps, "This one involved the least amount of talking. Or so I thought."

He helped me with the last couple of steps.

"Thanks," I said.

"Of course," he said.

"Hey, hey, hey, so... you need any more company today? I could uh clear my schedule," Klaus said taking a sip from his flask.

"Looks like you've got your hands full," Five said.

"Oh, this? No, no I can do this whenever. I'm just-" He fell in the dumpster.

"Klaus, are you okay?" I asked.

"Yeah, I just misplaced something. That's all," he said.

I looked at Five and he just shrugged.

"Found it! Thank God!" Klaus stood up holding half of an old bagel.

"Do not eat-"  I started but he already took a bite.
