The next morning Emma and Five was standing in the Meritech Prosthetics, it was a lab where the eye came from.

Emma was holding the prosthetic eye in her hand as the couple could hear indistinct chatter as they was standing ten feet away from the receptionist's desk, both of them looking around the room they were in.

A man on crutches was being helped walk across the room before entering another room.

It didn't take long before a man in a lab coat came walking in, going towards the receptionist's desk, but he stopped when he saw the couple "Uh, can I help you two?" the man asked causing Emma and Five to turn around.

Emma took a quick look at the eye in her hand before they stepped closer to him "We need to know who this belongs to" Emma said as she lifting up the eye so the man could see "Where did you get that?" the man asked "What do you care?" Five asked and the man raised his eyebrow.

"We...We found it...at a playground, actually. Uh, must have just..." Emma started said before she paused and the couple clicks their tongue "...Popped right out" Five finished with a smile and the man nodded.

"We wanna return it to its rightful owner" Emma said "Oh...what thoughtful kids" the receptionist said with a smile.

"Yeah. Look up the name for us, will ya?" Five said with a sharp tone while looking at the receptionist with a innocent smile on his face and Emma also smiled fakely at the receptionist.

"Uh, I'm sorry, but patient records are strictly confidential. That means I can't tell you..." "Yeah, we know what it means" Emma said, cutting him off.

"But I'll tell you two what I can do. I will take the eyes off your hands and return it to the owner. I'm sure he or she will be very grateful, so if I can just..." the man said and reach to grab the eye but Emma moved her hand where she was holding the eye back "Yeah, you're not touching this eye" the couple said as Emma gave Five the eye and he put it in his pocket.

"Now, you listen here, young man and little girl-" but then both Emma and Five grabbed the man by his shirt's collar and pulled him down to their eye level before they glared at him causing the man to grunt.

"No! You listen to us, asshole" Emma started "We have come a long way for this, through some shit you pea brain couldn't even comprehend so just give us the information we need, and we'll be on our merry way and if you call me 'young man' or her 'little girl' one more time" Five said "We've gonna put your head through that damn wall" Emma finished "Exactly" Five said "Oh dear" the receptionist said as she put her hand on the phone.

"Call security" the man said scared and the receptionist nodded "Yeah" she said before she lifted the phone to her ear and began dialing.

The couple glanced at the man one last time before they both let go of him and walked into the elevator.
