Five and McKenna practically thought the same. Maybe it was because they were born on the same day or because they spent so much time together, but whatever he was thinking, she was thinking the same. It's what made them a team. McKenna understood what Five wanted to the second they headed to the control room.

Both McKenna and Five hid against the opposite side of the machines and watched Dot walk into Gloria's office. "Gloria, the Handler knows that Five and McKenna are up to something. Get this to Hazel and Cha-Cha immediately."

They glanced each other's ways. McKenna, holding a knife in her hand, nodded at him, a silent let's go.

Nodding back, Five blinked and he appeared in front of Gloria just as she was coming out of her office with a tube in her hand. Seeing him, she paused, looking startled. "Mr. Hargreeves, what are you doing here?"

He smirked deviously. There was a pop and Gloria was knocked against the head and she fell unconscious, McKenna standing behind her with the knife raised. "Nice work." He said to her.

"Thanks," McKenna said back with a slight smile.

He bend down and grabbed the tube from the unconscious woman's hand and took out the paper. His eyes grew wide.

"What? What does it say?"

"Protect Harold Jenkins." Five read aloud.

McKenna blinked. "Who the hell is Harold Jenkins?"

"Something tells me we're going to find out. C'mon." He said and grabbed her arm. The two of them ran into the office and Five sat at the desk in front of the type writer. "Okay, here's what I'm gonna do. Whatever I type up, I need you to seal them in the tubes."

She nodded. "Yeah. . .have we figured out a plan for if the she devil walks in?"

"Kill her."

McKenna nodded again. "Right. Easy enough."
