"Are you kidding me?" The Handler asked as she put her hands on the edge of her desk "You said I could hire my own team" Lila said "Yes, but I didn't mean him, for God's sake. I meant Mitch and Andy. If you don't see the problem with hiring you-know-who's brother, then you're not ready for that badge" The Handler and pointed at Lila.

"I'm sorry, but I really need to get going" Diego said "Shut up!" both Lila and The Handler said out loudly.

"I can't do this job if you don't trust my instincts" Lila said "Sweetheart, your vagina needs glasses. He's not worth it" The Handler said "Mum! Oh my God" Lila said before she took a deep breath "This may shock you, but not everyone here likes you" she said "Sounds ridiculous, but go on" The Handler said "You need fresh blood loyal to us and not the old regime. I've seen Diego in the field. He is so much better trained than most of the assholes here. Why waste that when we can use it? He'll be my personal responsibility" Lila said.

"You know, your brother Five and I...we have quite...a colorful history" The Handler said "My brother has beef with everybody, me included" Diego said.

"Let me ask you something" The Handler said as she grabbed her lighter before lighting it "When you're looking down the barrel of a gun, where do your loyalties lie, with your family or your principles?" she asked "With me" Diego said causing The Handler to rise an eyebrow "I don't belong to anybody" he said before he turned to Lila "Especially Lila" he said.

"That I can work with. Rum him through orientation, fill out his start paperwork" The Handler said causing Lila to smile "But...if he ruffles even one feather, you will kill him yourself. Understood?" The Handler said "Thanks. Mum" Lila said.

Lara walked out of the bedroom to see Luther laying on the couch asleep and she noticed that Mitch and Andy was not in the living room but the door to the other bedroom was closed so she figure that the two was sleeping in there.

She quietly walked into the living room, she felt how her whole body was sore and she was limping after that crazy, wild and really rough round with Five.

But she got him to calm down a bit and take his mind off things.

Lara let out a small grunt as she sat down on a chair before she ran her fingers through her hair.

Then the door to one of the bedrooms opened and the twins step out "Hey boys" Lara said "Hey mom" they both said as they rubbed their eyes.

"Did you boys slept well?" she asked "Yeah" they nodded as they enter the living room "How long were you in there?" Andy asked "Not long" Lara lied, not wanted to get her sons to imagine things.

Then suddenly the sound of a fridge opened and soft rattling was heard causing Luther to wake up before he looked at Lara and the twins who was in living room.
