No. 13

"I mean, do you really think mom would want to hurt dad?" Vanya asked. We were all crowded around a small TV that was set up on the bar. "I mean, you haven't been home in a long time, Vanya. Maybe you don't know Grace anymore." Luther answered. I stood up from the small bench I was sitting at and adjusted Jayden to sit on my hip. I gently bounced him as I moved to stand by Allison who gave me a small smile, in which I gave one in return. "Well, none of us have Luther. Allison has been off in Hollywood, Diego has been off doing stuff with the police before he got fired, Vanya has been doing her music, Klaus has been doing his thing, Five has been in the future and you've been on the moon, and I've been working and taking care of my kids. So you can't get angry with her. Sure there is some explanation. But it's probably something small like poisoning or heart failure." As I spoke a looked at Diego, "And you, Number 2. Stay out of my desk. You aren't very slick with breaking in and stealing my reports." Diego looked at me, "That was your desk?" He asked and I nodded.

Luther looked at me, "But I was here the longest-" I looked at him, "That shows nothing, I was the one who actively came by to visit mom and Pogo. No one else did." "Back to the task at hand, if it was poisoned, it would show in the autopsy report," Diego said. "Yeah well, I don't need a report to tell me what I see with my own eyes." I looked at the pair, "How about you ask the man who did the fucking paperwork. Last I checked, neither of you did the autopsy or called him in, look in the background, you see me standing there ready to call it in once everything happened." Everyone turned to face me and I pulled an envelope out of my pocket, the wax seal broken. "This was sent to me a few days before this all happened,

"No. 0,

I must say, I have come to be quite aware of how successful you have made yourself. This coming Thursday, I would like you to accompany me for tea, and to discuss some requests I have upon my death. I would also like to meet my grandchildren properly.

Sir Reginald Hargreeves."

Everyone was silent, then Diego moved to the small TV and clicked a button, "Look closer. Dad had his monocle. Mom stand's up. Monocle is gone. James covers him with a sheet and calls his death in." Klaus chuckled, "Oh! Yeah!" "She wasn't poisoning him, she was taking it... to clean it." Diego continued, I shook my head, no one was going to get through to him, were they. "Diego. I keep telling you this, he was poisoned. Cyanide was found in the tea. Stop. I watched him die, and I did all the work. The papers you stole from my desk, were fakes. I lied stop trying to make it seem like hear failure. He told me to put that down on the papers." My tone had gotten harsher and angrier as I spoke. I would've kept going if it wasn't for Jayden pulling on the sleeve of the jacket I was wearing. I sighed and looked at my son, "Daddy okay?" He asked I nodded, "Yes baby, uncle dee is just being stupid, at the moment." Jayden nodded and laid his head on my shoulder.

Luther sighed, "Then where is it?" he asked, looking at Diego and me, "No, I searched the house including her things, she doesn't have it." Luther said. "I had it in my room, Pogo gave it to me, and then it went missing," I said. Diego narrowed his eyes at me, "That's because I took it from your room, James. After the funeral," Allison turned to face him, "You've had the monocle this whole time? What the hell Diego." She said, "Give it to me." Luther demanded, holding his hand out. "I threw it away." Diego shrugged. "You what?" Luther and I asked Allison scoffed and took a sip of her drink. "Look, I knew that if you found it on mom or any of us, you would lose your shit, just like you're doing right now." I watched Diego move from the spot he was standing at and move closer to Luther, one of his blades pointed at him. "Diego you son of a bitch," Luther said moving closer to Diego, the black-haired male moved into a guardian stance, (Fighting stance) before Vanya tried to intervene. "Hey. No. Calm down," she said.
