Lila: You do have one problem though.
(Lila glances over her shoulder and Five and Y/n look to see that she is talking about Diego who is walking closer to them.)
Five: I don't suppose we can explain any of this to him.
Y/n: I don't like lying to my brother, Lila.
Lila: He's like a sponge that can take no more water.
Five: It's a shame.
(Diego joins them, nodding his head as a greeting to Y/n and Five before turning to Lila.)
Diego: Can I talk to you for a second?
(Lila looks between Diego, Five and Y/n without responding then Diego turns to the couple.)
Diego: Do you mind?
Y/n: Of course not.
Five: Yeah.
(Y/n grabs Five's hand and walks away while Diego and Lila talk. Once they are far enough out of the way, Y/n and Five start talking.)
Y/n: Do you have a plan to get Diego out of the way?
(Five glances at his boss from the CIA.)
Five: I might.
(Y/n looks over to where he is looking.)
Y/n: You are going to have your boss play babysitter for our brother?
Five: I mean, Diego had always wanted to be part of the CIA. It might keep him distracted long enough for us to do what we need to do.
(Y/n nods and starts fiddling with her ring. Five noticed and grabs her hand.)
Five: I know you don't like lying to them, but if we keep this small, it has a better chance of succeding.
Y/n: You're right.
(Five nods and looks at her hand, his eyes landing on her wedding ring and he smiles.)
Five: You still have it on.
Y/n: Why would I ever take it off?
(Five pulls out something from his pocket and goes to hand it to Y/n. When she looks at it she realized it was her swiss army knife that she always carred around.)
Five: I think this belongs to you.
Y/n: You kept it?
Five: Why wouldn't I? It reminded me of you. Plus you were right, it's extremely useful.
Y/n: Indeed it is. (She smiles.) Keep it.
Five: (shocked) Really?
Y/n: If I need it again, I'll ask.
Five: What if I'm not with you?
Y/n: You will be.
(They are interupted when Y/n sees Five's boss walking toward them.)
Y/n: (Whispered) Why can't anyone leave us alone for more than 5 minutes?
