Five had spend the whole night thinking about how dangerous it was to work together with his ex-wife again, who is a retire assassin and the best of them. Someone who hates him and can kill him every second.  

But he hope that working with you will somehow help him find the courage to tell you what he feels and he hope that it will somehow open you up as well.

He didn't noticed it was morning until he heard the guestroom open and you enter the living room.

"Good morning" he looked at you "Good morning" you said and Five looked back the tape. His fingers ran on the small yellow box, tracing the thick black indelible link. 

"What's in the box?" she asked "I only know that it is some tapes. I can't tell you what's on it 'cause I don't know, but Hazel slipped it into my pocket a few seconds before he was shot by the Swedes" he said "The Swedes are here?" he nodded "Well, then you are in big trouble" you said.

Then another door opened and Elliott step out but froze when he saw you.

"Y/n Hudson. I've read and heard so much about you" he rushed over to you.

"Hello, I'm Elliott, big fan" he reach out his hand for you to shake.

You glanced at Five "He is a new acquaintance. He is helping me with all of this. He is harmless" Five said and you looked back at Elliott.

Without responding you just walked past Elliott and over to the kitchen.

"Don't mind her. She's like that" Five said and Elliott nodded before he grab some oatmeal and started eating.

Five then turned to look at the photos of the others on the wall.

"Elliott, did you develop these photos yourself?" Five asked "Of course. Can't exactly drop that stuff off at the neighborhood Fotomat. Government has eyes everywhere" Elliott said as he was eating some oatmeal while Five picked up the tape.

"Is the 60'. They think every stranger is a Russian spy" you said before taking the last sip of your coffee.

"I didn't see a darkroom" Five said as he turned around to look at Elliott "Yeah, I converted the hallway closet" Elliott said and pointed towards the hallway while Five picked up a black pen and scribbled out the date above the title of the tape making a squealing feedback sound as he stepped closer to Elliott who was messing with the knobs.

"Can you develop this?" he asked, showing the tape to Elliott "Hmm" Elliott said as he turned to Five before he grabbed the tape with his free hand and flipped it over, to read the back "Huh' Frankel Footage' Friends of your?" Elliott asked "Cousins on my robot mother's side" Five answered "Can you do it or not?" he asked.

"Sure I can" Elliott answered "How long?" Five asked "Well, I mean, I'm running low on acetic acid" Elliott said as he turned around, taking some slowly steps "Beeker's Cameras is open today, but it's two miles away" he said as he was moving his head "I mean, I'd have to take the bus. On the other hand, Gibson's is only ten blocks away, but I gotta cut through the park, and there's pigeons--" "Elliott" you said, cutting him off, telling him to get to the point. "Can you develop it or not?" you asked "Yes, yes. I can do that" Elliott said "How long?" you asked "It's like five, maybe six hours" Elliott replied.
