PART ONE ━━ SEASON ONE
010. dix❝THEY JUST KILLED MY FRIEND.❞
"Peace of shit," Diego barged in the door of his place.
"Do you have any idea what you just did," He walks towards Five angrily but was blocked by Luther's large hands.
"Nope, let me–" he started, trying to remove Luther's arms from him, "Get your ape hands off of me!"
"I can do for as long as it takes you to calm down," Luther tells his brother.
Diego pants, "Fine," and was put back onto the ground.
"Now, you wanna tell us what you're talking about?"
"Our brother's been pretty busy since he got back," Diego told him, while glaring at Five.
"He and Lyra were in the middle of that shootout at Griddy's, and then at Gimble Brothers, after the guys in masks attacked the Academy, looking for him," He pointed at Five.
"None or which is any of your concern," Five said.
"It is now," He panted, "They just killed my friend," He raised his voice, "Lyra's in the car asleep after breaking down because they killed her best friend!" He pointed towards the door, looking at Five with such anger. Five looked down onto the ground, almost as if... he was ashamed.
Luther turned to Five, "Who are they, Five?"
Five looked up.
"They work for my former employer," He started, "A woman called The Handler. She sent them," He paused. "To stop me. Then, as soon as Diego's friend got in their way, well, fair game."
"Well they're my fair game," Diego said darkly, "And im gonna see to it that they pay."
"That would be a mistake Diego. They've killed people far more dangerous than you," He called out to him.
"Yeah we'll see about that," Diego walked out of the boiler room and headed for his car.
He entered and looked at the woman in the passenger seat, who was sound asleep. Her face pale from the crying and her expression calm as if she hadn't seen experienced such tragedy.
He stared and glared up at the windshield so hard that if looks could kill, the windshield would've already been decomposed.
Then... he started driving.

Lyra woke up from her long and relaxing nap. She groaned and wiped her eyes, looking at the scenery. She was back in her apartment, and was laying in her bed.
She tried remembering what had happened in the past few hours. From her waking up, her seeing Grace dead, her with Allison and Vanya to...
Oh my God. She thought, tears arriving.
Eudora.
She remembered seeing her, how she felt and how she was mad at herself for not being there to save her.
Her body lay there unconscious, bloody, dead.
Dead.
Eudora is dead.
Her best friend is dead and there was no going back.
She wiped her tears and stood up to go shower. But froze as she looked at the plate on her bed side table.
There was a plate with eggs and bacon and a glass of mango juice.
And a note.
She picked up the note and read it.
Made you some food, hope it tastes good, Diego :)
She smiled and chuckled. She didn't know how but the man made her feel some type of way.
She put the note down and walked to her bathroom.
She took off her clothes and entered the shower, the hot, steamy water burning her skin.
She watched as the blood came off her hands. The blood of her best friend, who was lying there on the ground, cold, dead.
Dead.
Her best friend was dead.
She was not coming back.
She stepped out of the shower, wrapping her body in a green towel and walked back into her bedroom.
She picked out a pair of grey sweatpants, a red tank top, and a pair of black Chuck Taylors.
She took the plate and glass of juice that Diego had made for her and took it to the kitchen. She quickly ate the meal and drank the beverage and went to go wash the dishes.
She cleaned the area she ate in. Walked towards the door, and left.
