The boy flattened out the uniform he was wearing and turned to face me. "Who are you?!"
I leaned on the wall behind me and tucked a strand of blonde hair behind my ear. "Alexa.. who are you?"
He breathed out a laugh and looked away, "Its complicated...

Ding!
The silver door slid open, so Five and I stepped out of the elevator. We walked onto the third floor of a hospital. I scanned the room and noticed that a lot of the patients had prosthetic limbs and other body parts. The memory of Five asking the man at Griddy's for an address popped into my head.
"Uh, can I help you kids?" A middle-aged doctor spoke to us with a confused expression plastered on his face.
Five faced the man and pulled out the fake eye he had been carrying around. "I need to know who this belongs to."
The doctor stepped forward to examine the eye better. "Where did you get that?"
"What do you care?" Five fired back.
The man continued to waited for an explanation.
"We found it.. at a playground, actually. Must've just," Five clicked his tongue, "popped out."
"We saw it under the swings!" I added. "We want to return it to its rightful owner." I smiled cheerfully and went along with the lie.
The woman at the front desk put her hands over her heart. "Awe, such thoughtful kids!" She beamed happily.
"Yeah look up the name for me, will ya?" Five was beginning to get impatient.
"Uh, I'm sorry, but patient records are strictly confidential. That means I can't tell you—"
Five cut the man off, "Yeah, I know what it means."
The doctor continued, "But I'll tell you what I can do.. I will take the eye off your hands and return it to the owner. I'm sure he or she will be very grateful! So if I can just—"
"Yeah you're not touching this eye." Five defended, clearly annoyed with the doctor.
"Now, you listen here, young man—"
All of a sudden Five grabbed the doctor's shirt collar and yanked him down.
"No! You listen to me, asshole. I've come a long way for this, through some shit your pea brain couldn't even comprehend, so just give me the information we need, and we'll be on our merry way."
The doctor nodded his head about to speak, but Five beat him to it. "And if you call me 'young man' one more time, I'm gonna put your head through that damn wall, and then she's going to throw you through it." Five motioned his head towards me. I crossed my arms over my chest, and shot threatening stares at the doctor.
