A song was softly playing over the radio as Diego and his inmate friend Lila was sitting in a car, just watching a building.

"All right, here's the plan: Oswald finishes his shift at 4:30 p.m. Once he walks out those doors we force him into the front seat" Diego said "I'm in the front seat" Lila said "Okay, fine. In the back seat. You're gonna pin his arms, I'm gonna cut off his trigger finger and tell him he had 24 hours to exit Dallas" Diego said "That's your plan?" Lila asked "You got a problem with it?" Diego asked "Well, why don't we just kill him?" Lila asked "What?" Diego asked "I mean, you think he's gonna shoot the president, right?" Lila said "Right" Diego said "Fine, so we kill him. Put a bullet between his eyes. Problem solved" Lila said "Oh, no, no, we're not going to kill a man before he's committed a crime" Diego said "That's stupid" Lila said.

"Excuse me?" Diego asked "In fact, your whole plan is stupid. What, chopping off a guy's finger?" Lila said "No, it's not just any finger, it's his trigger finger, all right? You can't shoot a gun without a trigger finger" Diego said "What if he's ambidextrous? How do you get through a day?" Lila asked "Get out. I can do this on my own" Diego said "Dr. Moncton was right, this hero complex is no joke" Lila said "That is not what this is about" Diego said "Of course it is. You want to prove to Daddy that you're big success" Lila said "Not, you don't know anything about me" Diego said "I know everything about you. You...You are an open book written for very dumb children" Lila said "I'm not trying to be a hero, okay?" Diego said.

Then suddenly Five appeared in the back seat behind them, but they didn't noticed him.

"Then why are you doing this?" Lila asked "Because he is an idiot" Five said causing Lila to jump and turned around to see Five behind them.

"Who the hell are you?" Lila asked in her English accent before looking around, wondering how the boy got inside the car without them noticing "Hi. I'm his loving brother" Five said, waving while giving her a fake smile.

"Who left me to rot in the nuthouse" Diego said "To protect you from yourself" Five said "That's quite sweet" Lila said "Okay, both of you, out" Diego said and Five looked at him "Lose the crazy lady and come with me. We have important business" he said "I'm not going anywhere with you" Diego said.

Five looked to his left to look out the window and he spotted a police officer that was walking down the path opposite them.

"Okay, fine" he said before he moved over to the window and stuck his head out with a mischievous smile "Officer!" he called out "Hey!" Diego said quietly, grabbing Five's arm before pulling him back "What are you doing?" he asked as he reached over the front seat to lean closer to Five.

"I hear there's a reward out for you two" Five said "He's bluffing" Lila said and Five narrowed his eyes at Diego that was staring at him.

"He's not. Fine. I'll go with you" Diego said "What about me?" Lila asked causing the two to look at her "And I'm bringing the crazy lady" Diego said causing Lila to smile.
