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

Part 99: Find them

(Everyone sat in the living room. Diego and Lila were on chairs while Luther, Allison, Five and Y/n sat on the couch and Klaus on the floor and Claire, Grace and the twins sat in front of the TV while the nutcracker played.)

Luther: Hey, has anyone heard from Viktor? 

Klaus: Maybe he found Ben and Jennifer. 

Y/n: Do we know for sure he went after Ben and Jennifer?

Allison: Surely he would've called, left a message. 

Y/n: Would he? 

Allison: Maybe not. 

Klaus: So we all struck out? God, what a bunch of losers. 

(Y/n patted Klaus on the shoulder.)

Luther: Well, not entirely. 

(Luther looks over at Diego and holds his fist out to fist bump Diego which he does.)

Y/n: What did you two do? 

Luther: Deputy Director Ribbons is a Keeper, along with other agents at the CIA.

Y/n: (turns to Five.) Your boss? That explains why he didn't want you looking further into the Keepers.

Five: How do you know that? 

Y/n: (tilts her head.) Do you keep forgetting I have a castle with a looking portal connected to earth?

Five: Oh, right.

Diego: Turns out Gene and Jean also have a bigger movement that we thought. 

Y/n: How much bigger?

Diego: A lot.

Y/n: That doesn't help. 

Luther: So, we have to get Ben and Jennifer before they do and stop the Cleanse. 

Allison: Right, but we have to find them first. 

Luther: Yeah, right, they could be anywhere. 

Klaus: We gotta find 'em.

Y/n: I could take a trip to my castle. Track them down through the looking portal. 

Five: How long would that take? 

Y/n: There and back, About 2 hours.

Diego: That could work.

(The room goes quite for a second and Luther looks at Five.)

Luther: What's with you? You've said a total of what, 10 words since you've gotten here? 

Five: So?

Luther: You're barely talking, when does that ever happen. 

Five: It's called thinking, Luther. You should try it sometime.

Luther: Hey!

Klaus: Whoa! Uncalled for! 

Five: Shut up. 

Luther: I do think. I think you're an asshole!

Klaus: Grandpa's not had his nap. 

Allison: Can we not do this right now? 

(Five standup and faces everyone.)

Five: No, you know what? Let's do it right now.
