"Authorities are asking for help identifying several persons of interest at Dealey Plaza at the time of the assassination. The FBI believes they may have been acting in concert with the alleged shooter, Lee Harvey Oswald–," the news reporter said.
The Hargreeves family was back in Elliott's store watching the news.
Riley sat on the stairs while the reporter listed her siblings.
"– The FBI is asking the public to be
on the lookout for these two unidentified children–"
The reporter showed the camera a picture of Riley and Five looking over the fence just before Kennedy was shot.
"– who they believe is being held hostage by the suspected terrorist network..."
"Well, it's true. I do feel like I'm being held hostage most days," commented Five.
"God, I hate that photo", Diego muttered.
"They're saying I instigated the riot? That's unbelievable," scoffed Allison.
"Look, the good news is that we restored the timeline and we stopped doomsday. So..."
"Yeah, a bunch of real goddamn heroes. We let Kennedy die."
"Diego, this was supposed to happen," said Riley and stood up.
"Yeah, and now we're officially the most wanted people in the world. The FBI is after us, the Dallas police, the Secret Service. It's only a matter of time before they hunt us down here."
"Well, where are we supposed to go?"
"I have this yurt just outside Reykjavik. We could totally lay low there," Klaus suggested. "Folks there are a little weird, but lovely."
"Hey, numbnuts. Hiding's not gonna make a difference here. The.Commission will hunt us down wherever and whenever we go," Five explained.
"He's right. They'll never stop," agreed Diego.
"I'm sorry, since when are you an expert on the Commission?"
"Since I got back from there."
"What?", Riley chuckled.
"Yeah, they headhunted me, offered me a job. Full time with benefits, which I had to turn down."
"They headhunted you...", Riley said to their brother.
"... the village idiot," Five finished the sentence.
"What, am I not allowed to be headhunted? Only the almighty Five and Riley need to be in demand?"
"Diego, you're not Commission material, alright? You've got an obstinate nature."
"Who do you think it was that figured out Vanya was the one that causes doomsday and stopped it? Me—"
"Hey!"
"– That's who. I figured it all out on the Infinite Switchboard."
"You were on the Infinite Switchboard?"
"Hell, yeah. I made that machine my bitch–"
"Language, Diego!"
"– Y'all need to recognize I got stuff going on y'all don't even know about."
Five and Diego continued arguing.
Riley rolled their eyes and walked away from the others.
They watched Vanya go up the stairs and followed her to the bottom of the staircase.
