Lost in Time ~ Five Hargreeves

Chapter 4

"Like I said to your son and his partner earlier, any information about the prosthetics we build is strictly confidential," said the Doctor to Klaus. "Without the client's consent, I simply can't help you."

He, Five and Riley sat in the small office of the doctor Riley and Five talked to earlier.

They were trying to convince the man to give them the name of the person they were looking for.

"Well, we can't get consent if you don't give us a name," Five tried again.

"Well, that's not my problem," the doctor replied. "Sorry. Now, there's really nothing more I can do, so–"

"And what about my consent?" Klaus interrupted the doctor.

"Excuse me?"

"Who gave you permission... to lay your hands... on my son and his partner?"

"What?" Riley, Five and the Doctor asked at the same time.

"You heard me."

"I didn't touch your son or his partner."

"Oh, really? Well, then how did they both get there swollen lips, then?"

"They don't have swollen–"

Klaus didn't let the man finish speaking.

He got up, punched Five in the face.

The teenager stumbled back, holding the painful spot.

Klaus walked past him, mumbling "Sorry" and hitting Riley as well.

Or at least it seemed so.

But in reality he, of course, did not touched them. 

Riley played along and stumbled back, too, pretending to hold their hurt lip.

Then Klaus truned around and inhaled sharply.

"I want it. Name, please. Now."

"You're crazy."

Klaus just chuckled and leaned on the large desk with his hands.

"You got no ideas."

His eyes fell on a small snow globe that was on the desk. He took it in his hand looked at it.

"Peace on Earth. That's so sweet."

Without warning, he slammed the snow globe into his forehead.

Everyone looked at him in shock, Riley and Five even took a step back.

"God, that hurt!" Klaus hissed.

The doctor looked at Klaus in fear and grabbed the phone.

"I'm calling secur– What are you doing?"

Klaus grabbed the receiver and held it to his ear.

"There's been an assault in Mr. Big's office, and we need security, now. Schnell," said Klaus, carelessly throwing the receiver down on the desk.

"Now, here's what's gonna happen, Grant."

"It's... Lance," the doctor corrected him.

Riley rolled their eyes. Even they was getting annoyed with the man.

"In about 60 seconds, two security guards are gonna burst through that door, and they're gonna see a whole lot of blood, and they're gonna wonder, 'What the hell happened?' And we're gonna tell them that you–", Klaus said and suddenly started to cry. "– beat the shit out of us."

In the end he sobed dramatically, still not taking his eyes of the doctor.

Riley and Five had finally understood what Klaus was planning and watched the scene with slight smiles on their lips.
