Queen of the elements (Book 4 of The Fire Within)

Part 13: No Dull Moment

(There is truly no dull moment when your are a Hargreeves. As soon as Luther and Ben got home, Ben found a letter that made Luther call everyone over to this timelines version of the Academy and it didn't take long for everyone to get there, everyone minus Viktor.)

Five: Okay, Luther, We're here. What is it? 

Luther: I got a letter. It says, "Your brother Viktor has been kidnapped. Follow my exact instructions and no harm will come to him." 

(Luther passes the note to Allison)

Five: All right. Any idea on who might be behind this? 

Luther: My money's on you-know-who

Klaus: Dad? Come on. Dad didn't kidnap Viktor. He doesn't give a shit about us. 

Diego: It just really hurts when family stabs you in the back. (He leans in toward Lila, making her nervous.) 

Allison: Five, can't you just call your CIA buddies? 

Five: Well, the CIA doesn't investagate kidnapping. That's the FBI. 

Diego: Wait. Hey, hey, no. We don't need anyone. We can handle this. 

Luther: Yeah. 

Five: We're not exactly a team anymore, Diego. 

Ben: Or ever were. 

Lila: Then there's the "no powers" thing. 

Luther: No. I don't care. If Viktor's in trouble, I'm in, right? 

(Luther looks at Diego and Diego turns to Lila.)

Lila: What are you looking at me for? I'm not your mother. 

Diego: I'm in 

Lila: Good Luck. 

Diego: What? 

Lila: You can't even run up stairs without getting a coronary. 

Diego: I'm in the best shape of my life. 

Allison: Jesus. Okay, anyway, now what? 

Luther: It says we're supposed to meet at Sy's Dry Cleaning on 5th Avenue. 

Diego: Perfect. Let's roll.

Luther: Yeah! 

Klaus: What? 

Five: I guess we're doing this. 

(Luther and Diego head out first and the rest follow. They all pile into Diego's van before Diego pulls out and on to the road, definetely going over the speed limit.)
