(With the way Diego was driving, it didn't take long to get to the dry cleaners. They all get out of the van and start to enter the very run down looking building.)

Lila: Stay behind Five. He's got the gun. 

(Five walked in, pointing a gun and a flashlight arould, surveying the place as his sibling walked in behind him. They weave there way through rows of clothes until they find Viktor tied to a chair with a bag on his head.) 

Luther: (pulling the bag off.) Hey, there he is. 

Ben: Looking good, buddy. 

Klaus: Thank God! What's Up, Vik? 

(Klaus pulls off the gas mask he was wearing)

Diego: Couldn't make it to you niece's birthday? 

Viktor: Well, I was on the way, and then I got kidnapped, so... 

Diego: Yeah, nice excuse.

Lila: Diego. 

Viktor: Do you guys wanna untie me, or..

Luther: Oh, yeah, sure. 

(Luther unties one arm and Ben unties the other.) 

Ben: Who grabbed you? Was it Hargreeves and his goons? 

Five: No way. This is amateur hour. 

Guy: I apologize if my methods are a little crude, but this is my first kidnapping. 

(Five points his gun to where the voice was coming from as a guy comes out from hiding behind 2 clothing racks holding a revolver pointed at Five with a very shaky grip.) 

Guy: And hopefully my last. But I need your help. 

Five: Well kidnapping our brother and pointing a gun at us isn't going to buy you much goodwill. 

Guy: It was the only way to make sure that you came here. All of you. I couldn't leave anything to chance. Especially when it comes to... The Umbrella Academy. 

(They all looked at the man in shock.)

Diego: No one's called us that in 6 years

Five: Sorry, pal. The Umbrella Academy doesn't exist.
