Jane had just said goodbye to, Sloane, Lila, Viktor, Diego, Luther and Klaus and she was now walking down the hallway alone while Five was going to retracing his steps from last night.

The plan was that she would meet with Five so they could be together in the end and go down together, just like they always wanted.

She walked past the White Buffalo Suite to see Reginald inside "Jane, I want to talk to you" he said "Good to know" Jane said as she kept walking "Jane, please" he said and she stopped in her track before she took a step back and turned to the opened door.

"What?" she asked "Can you come in here?" he asked "No, I think I better stay out here" she said since it look like Reginald was a fox that was trying to lure it's pray into it's home.

"I'm sorry for the way I treated you" he said "Why did you do it?" she asked "I did it to---" "Not that" she said, cutting him off.

"I read the pager, 'keep her away from the jumpy guy and make sure she don't regain her memories' was writing on it. Why?" she asked "Cause I saw great qualities, leadership qualities, potential and strength in you, I saw a fighter and a survivor, but that potential was being held back so--" he said "So you took me in cause you need someone powerful with or without powers. A living weapon, and you thought by saving my life and give me these powers, I would be grateful to you and I would be loyal to you like Ben is?" she asked and he nodded "You took me away from them" she said "I saved your life. Shouldn't that count for something?" he asked "You want me to thank you? Be loyal to you? Follow you blindly?" she asked and let out a scoffs "I'd rather chew off my own foot!" she said.

"What's wrong? I thought you and I were om good terms" he said "Not anymore" she said as she shook her head "I'm done with you, once and for all. You kept me away from them and made me live in a lie, what kind of psychopath would do that?" she asked "I saved your life" he said "But you still made me live in a lie for years. Why?" she asked "I saw great potential in your eyes, something that was holding back by Five" Reginald "He was not holding me back, he was my light and you took me away from him" she said "He was still the one that hold you back" he said "Yeah from being a coldhearted killing bitch, that was who he hold me back from becoming a person like that and I will be forever grateful" she said before she looked down.

"You lost the vote, Reginald" she said "Listen, Jane there is still time, you can convince the others" he said and she looked back up at him "And why would I do that?" she asked "The possibility to have the chance of living that life you and Five could have had together, where you can retire together" he said before he took a step forward towards her "Even if I chosen to go, Five would still have stayed" she said "That guy, your partner in crime and boyfriend as stubborn and cut-throat as he may be, he has a gentle touch when he comes to you. You can lead him, not because he is scared of you or threated by you, but because he love you and he would put his trust and his love into you before anything else. You can still save the universe" he said.
