Claire: Hey, stupid grown-ups, check out the TV. Isn't that Uncle ben? 

(They all look at the TV where a news reporter was talking and their was Ben's mugshot on the screen.)

Reporter: One of the occupants is a former convict named Ben Hargreeves.

Klaus: Look, look, look, look, look!

Y/n: We see it, Klaus.

Reporter: He was convicted in 2019 for a crypto Ponzi scheme and served 4 years in Avalon Federal Correctional Institution.

Luther: Oh, we gotta go. 

Y/n: Yeah.

Reporter: It's unclear to us at this time how this armed group of protestors is connected with Hargreeves. Local police have yet to be able to get close enough to the building to make contact, and we have no information if Hargreeves is holding any hostages. 

Y/n: They think all of this is Ben's fault. 

Five: They'll point fingers at whoever makes the most sense when they don't have the full story. 

Y/n: Does anyone know where that is? 

Diego: Yeah. It's the abandoned clothing store in the city. It's about a 15 minute drive. I can make it in about 5 if I gun it and there's no traffic. 

Y/n: There shouldn't be any traffic. Not with this. 

Five: If we have any chance at stopping this, we need to leave now. 

(Everyone agrees and stands up to put their shoes on and grab their coats. Allison told Claire to stay her cousins and Lila asked her family to watch the kids. They all pilled into the car with Klaus and Luther in the back, Lila and Allison in the middle row and Y/n and Five in the front with Diego at the wheel. Diego put the keys in the ignition and the car roared to life. The road infront of them was barren with no other car on if for miles.)

Y/n: Diego.

Diego: Yeah, Y/n. 

Y/n: Gun it.

(He happily obliged)
