I Saw An Angel (No. 5)

Part 2

 Allison walks into the kitchen to see Five searching through the shelves and Klaus sitting at the table trying to tune a guitar and failing.

"Where's Vanya?" The question isn't directed at either sibling, it's left hanging waiting for an answer which comes in the form of Klaus.

"Oh, she's gone." Allison walks closer to the table as Five turns around holding an empty coffee pot.

"Thats unfortunate." Allison agrees with him until he continues his statement. "An entire square-block. Forty-Two bedrooms, 19 bathrooms, but no, not a single drop of coffee." Five slams the coffee pot on the table obviously annoyed by this predicament.

"Dad hated caffeine."

"Well he hated children, too, and he had plenty of us." Klaus laughs as his eyes shift between the two standing before him. The room is silent for a moment before Five speaks up again.

"I'm taking the car." At Five's words Klaus sits up fully staring after him as he starts to walk off.

"Where are you going?" Five turns to look at his brother like he's an idiot.

"To get a decent cup of coffee." Allison looks at him quizzically, her arms crossed over her chest.

"Do you even know how to drive?"

"I know how to do everything." Five says it in such a manner that one would think it's obvious. The boy turns on his heel and jumps outside to the car. At the sound of the car starting up Klaus stands looking around the room before his eyes land on his sister.

"I feel like we should try and stop him, but then again, I also just kinda want to see what happens." Five pulls out of the alleyway in which the car is parked, making his way to get a coffee. Five stops the car at a diner named 'Griddy's Doughnut's' and after getting in the car he quickly makes his way inside. He takes a seat at the bar stool and rings the bell twice as another patron enters behind him. The man takes a seat next to Five at the bar and pulls out a newspaper and a pen. The two share a glance as the waitress, Agnes, finally makes her way out to the two apologising for the wait. She pulls out a pen and pad asks the two what they want.

"Uh give me a chocolate eclair." Agnes nods her head at the man writing down his order before she turns to Five.

"Can I get the kid a glass of milk or something ?" Five scoffs at the woman's words, his hands folded neatly in front of him and the smirk on his face giving him a condescending look.

"The kid wants coffee. Black" Agnes gives the older male an awkward smile.

"Cute kid" She chuckles and looks back at Five who gives her an sickenly sweet smile. Looking a little frightened Agnes turns away to get their orders. As they wait Five decides to strike up a conversation with the man behind him.

"Don't remember this place being such a shithole. I used to come here as a kid. Used to sneak out with my brothers and sisters and eat doughnuts til we puked. Simpler times, Huh?" The man beside him stares at Five awkwardly, not knowing what to say he stumbles with his words.

"Eh, I suppose." Agnes finally returns with their orders placing them down. The man next to Five pulls out his wallet and as Five takes his coffee the man passes the waitress money.

"I got his." Five thanks the man as he notices the logo on his vest, which reads 'Ismhael's Towing'. Five stares at it for a moment before looking up at the man and striking a second conversation.

"You must know your way around the city." The man looks back up at Five surprised by his questions.

"I should hope so. I've been driving it for twenty years."

"Good. I need an address." As the man finally leaves we can see Five pocketing a napkin with the address just as heavily armed men enter the building.Taking a glance into the shiny bell on the counter next to him, he notices the men approaching him with guns aimed at his head. He hums and sets down his coffee before speaking.

"That was fast. Thought I'd have more time before they found me." The leader stands closest to Five, his gun aimed directly at him although Five seems unbothered by such things.

"Okay. So let's all be professional about this, yeah? On your feet and come with us. They want to talk." Five tilts his head to the side at the man's words looking at him through the reflection of the bell once more.

"I've got nothing left to say."

"It doesn't have to go this way. You think I want to shoot a kid? Go home with that on my conscience?" Five looks down at the butter knife beside his coffee and he lets out sigh as he begins fiddling with it.

"I wouldn't be worrying about that." Five looks up at the man, "You won't be going home." And with that, Five takes the butter knife fully in his hand before jumping behind the man and stabbing him in the shoulder causing him to pull the trigger, firing his gun into one of his own men who fall to the ground. Five jumps again as the rest look around in confusion, he lands on a table laying down and calls out to the men.

"Hey Assholes!" They all turn in his direction firing their guns but when they stop he is no longer there. After jumping Five is standing outside, one of the men has his back turned to the boy as he raps his knuckles on the door. The man turns, his gun raised about to shoot as Five gives him a cocky salute before jumping once more. Landing in the diner Five kicks up a mop, he snaps it in half before stabbing a man in the side. Jumping behind the man he wrapped his tie around the man's neck, pulling him down hard enough to break his neck. Another man walked over to shoot Five but he was fast enough to stab the man in his crotch pausing momentarily to throw a plate at another man. When the man flew back and knocked his head on the wall, Five took that time to pull out the pencil and Stab the man in the eye. Two men stood up, the one thrown against the wall and one getting back up from an injured leg.

Running forward Five jumped one last time causing the two men to shoot each other. Five lands back down and retrieves his tie from the man's neck. Putting on his tie Five walks over to the leader who lays on the ground bleeding trying to crawl away. Five kneels down and quickly snaps the man's neck swiftly. He picks up the device that they had used to track him and places it next to him on the counter as he places a sharp knife above his arm. Gritting his teeth Five cuts a vertical cut into his arm before placing down the knife. Digging his fingers into the wound he pulls out a small pill shaped object that blinks green. Exiting Griddy's he drops the tracking device into a puddle next to a drain and walks away. He walks back towards the car tightening his tie as Agnes slowly rises from behind the counter to look at the destruction that happened.
