chapter 21

"SO, WHAT, YOU just let her go?" Diego asked, his voice drowsy.

Edylenne and Five returned back to Elliot's apartment to find a barely conscious Diego on the couch and Lila talking with Elliot. Five was going through all of Elliot's machines to see if they were picking up anything. That's how he found Vanya in a corn field, hiding from Swedish Triplets who were hunting her down.

"Vanya had a lot to process, Diego." Edylenne responded while Five paced behind the couch as Lila took care of Diego's wound again, cleansing and bandaging up the wound. "She'll come around."

"What about the guys that went after her?" Diego asked.

"The Swedes?" Five responded.

"Yeah, I mean, how do you know that they won't go after her again?" Diego asked as Elliot left the kitchen with two cups of coffee in his hands.

"Most likely, they will go after her again." Edylenne said as she handed one of the cups to Lila. Elliot came back with one more cup and handed it to Edylenne, which she thanked. She slurped it while the conversation still went on.

"Any idea who sent them?" Lila asked, taking the coffee and sipping it, with her eyes darting between the two past assassins.

Edylenne and Five both looked at each other, knowing who they worked for. They both had seen the triplets at the Commission very rarely, but they weren't that important.

Edylenne smirked at Five, then sipped her coffee as Five responded, "Oh, we have our suspicions." Five sat in a chair across from Lila and Diego, picking up a cup of coffee that was set on the table. "But right now, our priority is finding Dad and getting answers, cause everything else depends on it."

"Which, for the record, I found him already." Diego started, while Edylenne sat on the chair's arm, and took a sip.

"And then let him go." Five interrupted. "Before we could have a meaningful conversation."

"He stabbed me!" Diego defended.

"I'm surprised he waited this long, Diego. We've all had the urge." Lila and Elliot chuckled at Five's response, and Edylenne smiled, while glancing at Diego, who looked offended. Five had put his arm around his wife's waist, and put his leg over his other thigh.

Lila had raised her hand for Five to high five it. "Good one."

Five, ignoring Lila's gesture, leaned forward and put his coffee cup on the coffee table. "Good thing we know where Dad's gonna be tonight." Five said as Edylenne took out the invitation from her pocket, which used her powers to give to the two. Diego took it from the air and inspected it closely with Lila.

"Where'd you get this?" Diego asked.

"Found it at his office while he busy stabbing you." Five replied, which made Diego laugh sarcastically.

Diego read aloud from the invitation, "Hoyt Hillenkoetter and the Consulate General of Mexico in Dallas cordially invite you to a gala."

"Woah. Wait, Hoyt Hillenkoetter? Are you serious?" Elliot pointed at Diego.

"You know him?" Five asked.
