The door opens.

Me and Diego instantly stand up, being the only people who bothered to stay in the foyer. I'm not sure where Allison and Luther went, but Viktor is in the next room and Klaus is upstairs.

"Five?"
We all ask this at the same time. It happened before, when Allison came back, and when Luther decided to question me again.

Not going to lie, I already know who he is.

Number Five, the best Assassin The Commission has ever seen.

Thank goodness I left, I've heard that a team was sent to find him. 

Cha Cha and Hazel, skilled agents. 

Oh, wait. Those people in the shop. The ones with the masks.

Cha Cha and Hazel.

And they're here.

Inside.

Oh God

Cha Cha heads to the Kitchen, and Diego follows her, while Hazel stays, pulling out a gun.

Before I can do anything, Luther charges in and fights him.

Leaving him to it, I see Cha Cha coming up the stairs. How unfortunate, she's recognised me.

"Ah, Number Eight,"
Did I mention I was also a part of The Commission. I left ages ago, but still.

I nod at her,
"Cha Cha"

"Where's the kid, we know you know and when we find him-"

I've given up with her, and push her down the stairs, she makes a very satisfying thud

We all congregate in the foyer, where Luther looks like some sort of monkey. An ape, if i'm correct. Diego walks away, and Allison looks horrified. I take Diego's lead, and go outside.


A little while later, we decided to look for Five, and find him drunk out of his mind, clutching a mannequin, in a public library. Luther carries him, while me and Diego walk in front.

He's spewing some nonsense about the future, but what sticks is this:

"I wish Number Eight was here. Only person who took my concern properly."
He obviously hasn't noticed I'm quietly walking behind Luther, but that's fine

I smile sadly.

If only he knew
