The Boy and The Psycho

Number Five

The two assassins walk up to Five and they both stop a good distance from each other.

"The masks really necessary?" Five asks.

They both rip their masks off and toss them to the side.

"So where is it, kid?" Cha-Cha asks getting right to the point.

"Wow, that's how you're gonna start. You know, we can get right back in our car and call it a day."

"You won't even make it halfway there." Cha-Cha warns and pulls out her gun.

"Maybe. But as I'm sure you found out in your previous foray, my brother is not your average giant. And you don't even want to get me started on my girl."

"He's right. You dropped a chandelier on him, got right back up. And that girl over there almost took off my head with a pair of pliers." Hazel points out.

"By the time you took him out, he'd smash your precious briefcase to a pulp and Fiona would send it flying straight to the bottom of the Atlantic."

"Probably us too, right? So, how do we help each other?" Hazel asks.

"I need you to get in contact with your superior so I can have a chat with her. Face-to-face."

"About what?" Cha-Cha questions.

"Well, I don't believe that's any of your concern."

Cha-Cha shakes her head. "Just don't tell her about the briefcase."

Five shrugs. "Fair enough."

The group turns going their separate ways. Five walks towards us while Cha-Cha picks up the payphone nearby.

Five leans on the side of the car and Luther and I walk towards him. I lean onto him and he wraps an arm around my waist while giving me a long kiss on the cheek.

"What happens now?" Luther asks stopping near Five and I.

"Now we wait." Five says.

After standing in the cool March air for a minute or two the music of an ice-cream truck starts playing behind us. As it grows closer everyone begins getting more confused.

Five, Luther, and I all walk closer to get a better look as the truck comes barreling over the hilly road.

"Is that her?" I ask turning to Five.

The truck passes us and that's when I see them. Klaus and Diego.

Klaus waves out the window as the three of us stand there staring confusingly at our brothers in the truck.

"What the hell is he doing here?" Five asks as our eyes follow the ice-cream truck down the road.

"It's a set-up!" Cha-Cha yells.

Hazel and Cha-Cha raise their guns and start shooting at the truck.

Five grabs me and pulls me behind Luther as he shields us from the bullets.

Klaus hits Cha-Cha and Hazel with the truck and they fly backward.

Then everything freezes. Five grabs my hand and we walk from behind Luther. I look around and everything around us is frozen in place. Hazel and Cha-Cha are sitting frozen in mid-air, Klaus and Diego in the truck... frozen. Everything. Except for Five and I.

"Neat trick, isn't it?" A voice pulls us both from our thoughts.

Five and I turn to a woman with a briefcase in her hand. He squeezes my hand protectively and pulls me over to stand in front of the woman. She moves her veil and takes off her glasses while smiling at Five and I.
