Reader's POV

Luther promptly tossed Five down on Diego's bed and adjusted the sheets around him. I handed Delores to Diego, who placed her down softly on a chair. I made my way towards the 'kitchen' portion of Diego's room and motioned to the fridge and cabinets.

"Can I...?"

A smile twitched at the corners of Diego's mouth. "Be my guest."

I smiled back at him and began searching through the cabinet, thinking of a meal recipe in my head and ultimately deciding something that wouldn't take long to cook was my best option, seeing it was already late. Diego joined Luther next to the bed and the two of them started down at Five's sleeping form.

"Funny." Diego began, "If I didn't know he was such a prick, I'd say he looks almost adorable in his sleep."

"Well don't worry, he'll sober up eventually. Be back to his normal, unpleasant self." Luther replied.

"Yeah, I can't wait that long." Diego said as he turned towards me. "(Y/n), I need to know what your connection to these lunatics is before someone else dies. Can you tell us anything?

"All that stuff he was saying before... (Y/n), what'd he mean by that?"

"Well-" I began, as I placed a pot of water on a burner.

Diego held up a finger to me, indicating for me to stop. I looked to Luther, who was equally as confused as I was. We stood in silence for a moment as Diego listened to footsteps in the distance. He pulled a knife out and climbed up his stairs and quietly as he could before creeping towards the door and opening it suddenly. He held the knife up instinctively.

"If you throw another one of those goddamn knives at me, I'm pressing charges." Diego's boss yelled as he approached the door.

"What do you want, Al?"

"I ain't your secretary." Al said as he followed Diego inside, "Some lady called for you, said she needs your help."

"What lady?"

"I dunno. Some, uh, detective. I think she said her name was, uh, Blotch or somethin'."

"Patch?" Diego narrowed his eyes in confusion.

Al shrugged.

"She needs my help." Diego mumbled.

"She needs you to meet her at that motel, a dump on Calhoun." Al handed Diego a small slip of paper.

"When?"

"About half an hour ago. Uh, said she found your brother."

The three of us glanced to Five, then to eachother.

"Well, that doesn't make sense."

"Shit- KLAUS!" I gasping, absolutely mortified, "I didn't see him when the house was attacked and he wasn't around this morning. Hazel and Cha-Cha must've gotten him."
