69} Searching The Keepers

"So this is book club, huh, Nancy?" Diego pulled up in front of the Keeper's office after the ridiculously long drive back.
"Oh, shut up, Diego," She whined, not ready for more arguing.
"Oh Jesus!" Diego stretched as he, Lila, Five, Jenna, and Viktor exited the van. He rounded the other side and held the keys out to Vik, "You drive."
"You sure? Wanda?" Viktor double checked, not believing what he was hearing.
"Yeah," Diego pouted at the ground, "I don't give a shit anymore."
"What about me?" Jenna gave him a smirk, "Could I drive Wanda?"
"Like hell I'd let you within ten miles of a car key," He rustled her hair and walked back over to Viktor, "She's pulling to the right a little bit. And don't go over forty, or the muffler's gonna fall off."
"Got it," Viktor nodded and Diego followed everyone else into the building while Viktor drove himself, Luther, and Allison to their dad's mansion.

"Welcome to the good 'ol Keeper's HQ," Jenna threw open the doors and led the way in, "Courtesy of my stolen money, graciously gifted to Jean and Gene. Well," She looked at her family who was just standing around doing nothing, "Get to work digging. I'm gonna sit because my back feels like it's on fire and my child won't stop kicking my spleen."
As they sifted through cabinets, Diego commented, "Jean and Gene didn't give us much to go on."
"Stay focused for once, Darling," Lila yelled across the room at him, "Jenna? Do you have any ideas?"
"I have zero clue where they could've gone or where they could've taken Jennifer," Jenna shrugged and readjusted on the couch, "I only know about their organization, not their personal lives. I do know that they live on a farm, but no clue where said farm is."
"Well," Lila dusted herself off, "All of the files are gone."
"Yeah," Five skimmed through the desk one last time, "Certainly looks that way."

"Alright," Diego sighed, "While you two stand around twiddling your dinks, I got recon to do. Jenna? Wanna join?"
"Why not," She grunted and stood up with Five's help, "Where to, Batman?"
"The dumpsters," He started for the doors.
"What?" Lila looked at him with confusion written all over her face.
"Are targets left in a hurry, correct?" He started to explain.
"Yup," Lila nodded, "So?"
"So... haste makes waste, mami."
"Ewww," Jenna scrunched up her face and followed him, "Don't call her that."
"Why not? You're Daddy Jenna, are you not?"
"Yeah, but only Klaus and my Hawkins kids can call me that, not you."

After a silent walk down to the basement, Diego broke the silence, "So..."
"I heard everything last night," Jenna spilled as Diego climbed into the dumpster.
"Sorry about that."
"Don't be. Now I don't know how I feel leaving our significant others alone upstairs, but I really hope I can trust Five."
"And I hope I can trust Lila."
"Promise me something?"
"Sure. Shoot."
"If anything goes to shit between our marriages, would you wanna be my make-shift husband?"
"What? Ewww. No."

"Not like that, dickhead," Jenna shuttered, "I have zero romantic feelings for you, don't worry. Just, in being there for each other terms. I'd ask Klaus, but he's not in the right mental state currently and god knows I won't ask Luther. Viktor has his own shit and, well, I don't think I'd ever ask Ben. Plus, I like you enough as an in-law and we're going through this shit together. And... I really don't wanna be alone trying to save the world with a baby on the way. So, what'd ya say?"
"You know what? Sure. That doesn't sound half bad."
"Cool, Batman. Let's just hope it doesn't come down to that."
"Well, if it does, I'm there for you."

"So, what do you see in there?" Jenna stood on her tippy toes and peered into the dumpster, "Anything? I personally really wanna go back upstairs. I'm cold and extremely pregnant and want this baby out of me pronto- do you ever stop kicking, child!?"
"Your kid seems just like you," Diego peeked out from behind a few trash bags.
"Oh yeah? How's that?"
"Annoying and one hell of a fighter."
"Fair."
"I'm not finding shit," He scrunched his nose in disgust as he hopped out, "This shit smells like ass."
