You and Five have arrived at that building where Lance lived and you saw him walking out the building and towards his car while he was carrying his dog.

Lance unlock his car and he put his dog on the backseat before he went to the driver seat.

Five blinked you to the backseat before he blinked himself to the driver seat next to Lance just as he closed the door.

"Oh, Jesus!" Lance said when he saw Five sitting next to him and you leaned forward before you put your switchbalde's edge right on the middle of the back of Lance's neck while Five clicked his switchblade open before he grabbed Lance's collar, putting his face close to Lance's as he put the switchblade by his throat.

Lance's eyes widened as he tried to leaned back, but then he felt your switchblade's edge right at the back of his neck.

"One chance. That's all you got" you said "One chance to tell us exactly what's going on in that lab" Five said "All I have to do is move this dagger just a inch closer to your skin and you will be choking in your own blood" you said and the two of you could see and feel how scared Lance was.

 "I...I manufacture prosthetic devices for fake patients" Lance stammered "I bill the insurance companies and then sell them for cash on the black market" he said "Including eyeballs?" you asked "Yeah, they're my biggest seller. I mean, they sell like hotcakes. I--I've got a list, a waiting list, probably 20 buyers" Lance said "So, the serial number we told you..." Five said, his voice trailing off as an indication that Lance should keep talking.

"Uh, could've already been bought. Yes, off--off the books" Lance said and Five let out a sigh "We needed that list, Lance" Five said "Names and numbers, and we need it now" you said as your husband put the knife closer to Lance's throat "I don't have it. I mean, not on me" Lance said "Then where is it?" you asked "The only copy's in my safe at the lab" Lance answered "Well, you start the car, then" Five said "'Cause we're going on a field trip" Emma said and Lance nodded while Five leaned back, taking the blade away from Lance's throat "Okay" Lance said "Now" you and Five said "Okay" Lance said before he frantic his seatbelt "And don't waste your time, 'cause my wife here can get really impatient and then she can get angry and you don't want to make her angry" Five said.

You, Fiv and Lance arrived at the place before you got out of the car and Five dragged Lance with him as you were walking behind them towards the lab.

But then you noticed that black smoke was coming from the windows and glass could be heard shattering while the fire spread out of the windows "Is the building on fire or---" "Love, stay here" Five said before he started running towards the entrance of the building

"FIVE, DON'T!" you shouted before you began running after him "Shit" you said.

As you came to the entrance you put a hand on Five's shoulder before you went in front of him, but then an explosion went off by the entrance, you used your powers, protecting yourself and Five from the explosion metal that was shout out.
