Two and Ten walked out of the front door. They saw a car race down the street before skidding into the driveway.
"Who's car is that?" Ten asked Two.
"I don't know, but that son of a gun is driving it." Two said as Five got out of the car. Five helped Nine drag the woman out of the back seat. Two stormed over to the driveway in front of Five. "What do you think you're doing?" Two asked Five.
"It's not anything that you should be worried about." Five looked over to Two.
"Five, if you have a problem, I'm always here if you need to talk to anyone." Two assured him.
"What do you mean?" Five stopped helping Nine and turned to Two.
"I feel you, Five. You just need some guidance." Two put his hand on Fives shoulder.
"Do you feel me? Take a look inside my brain. The people are always different, but it always feels the same." Five took Twos hand off of his shoulder.
"What..?" Two squinted his eyes.
"No matter where I go, or what I make, I always feel the same. The people are different in every location I've dimension jumped into. Some have three eyes, and some have tentacles. But you? You're just in my way." Five grabbed them woman's legs and Nine grabbed the woman's arms. "I have a job, not a problem." Five said as him and Nine began walking with the lady to the house. Two just watched them go into the house and shut the door behind them. Ten walked down and stood next to Two on the driveway.
"What did he say?" She asked him. Two slowly shook his head and crossed his arms.
"He's really tough to understand sometimes." Two said.
"Yep.." Ten sighed.
"He said he has a job, not a problem." Two scratched his head.
"What job?" Ten wondered.
"That, I don't know. But it might have something to do with the blood." Two shrugged.
"Surely he isn't actually a serial killer.. is he?" Ten looked at Two.
"Depends on what he's planning on doing to that woman he just dragged into the house. And was that Nine helping him?"

The woman woke up to a bright light. She tried to move, but her limbs were tied to the chair she was sitting in. She had duct tape on her mouth, but she still managed to squeal through it. Five entered the room followed by Nine.
Two and Ten hurried up down the basement stairs. They peaked around the corner to see what Five was doing. All the walls, including the floor, had a white sheet covering it.
The woman squealed louder when she saw Five. Nine stood somewhat behind Five, just observing until Five gave him an order. Five bent down and ripped the tape off of the woman's mouth.
"Lara Forgs. What a mistake you've made." Five looked at Lara, the lady.
"I'm sorry! It wasn't my idea!" Lara cried. With a press of a button, a shockwave was sent surging through Lara's muscles. She screamed in pain.
"Speak again without my consent, it'll be twice as powerful." Five smiled sarcastically. "Five.." Nine sighed. Five turned over to Nine and gave him a bad Look. "I'm sorry..!" Nine put his hands up. Five looked back over to Lara.
"Now, I'm going to ask you a few simple yes or no questions before we play a game." Five smiled. Lara nodded. "Number one. Were you planning on killing us after you were done experimenting on us?" Five asked Lara.
"Yes." Lara nodded. Nine put his hand on his head and closed his eyes.
"Number two. Did you end up getting any of our powers to use for the military?" Five asked.
"No." Lara said.
"All that for nothing? Man." Five sarcastically said. "Last question. Are you still trying to find us to put us back in that lab so you can abuse and torture us even more?" Five got close to Lara's face.
"Yes." Lara closed her eyes.
"Alrighty then. Now that game I mentioned." Five stepped back away from Lara's face. "This is how you play. I say a sentence, and then you say 'please' after it." Five explained. Lara nodded. "Don't kill me." Five started.
"Please." Lara said as Five told her.
"I have a life."
"Please."
"I have a family."
"Please."
"Kill me." Five reached behind his back. Nine closed his eyes.
"Please."
Five whipped out a pistol and shot Lara right between the eyes. Blood splattered against Nine and Fives face, also all over the white sheets. Lara lied limp in the chair.
"Another one bites the dust." Five spun the pistol on his trigger finger before putting it back in his back pocket.
Two and Ten watched in horror. Two grabbed Ten's arm and they both ran up the stairs and out of the house.
"We need to talk." Two said to Ten as they walked over to the side of the house. Two and Ten stood right in front of each other. Ten's eyes were wide and shaken up.
"Ten, I know it's hard to process what we just witnessed." Two told her.
"What is he thinking..?" Ten mumbled.
"He's gone crazy. He doesn't even know what he's thinking." Two said.
"Didn't he hear the poor women's cries? She was terrified! He should've let her go!" Ten yelled.
"I know, I know! Don't you get it?! That must be Fives job!" Two said to Ten.
"His job is to kill innocent people?!" Ten asked.
"No! Didn't you catch on? The woman was one of the ones that did tests and experiments on us when we were in the lab!" Two told her.
"So his job is to kill every person who has ever touched him? It's not like those people really meant to hurt us! They were told to do it!" Ten crosses her arms and moved her legs with anxiety.
"I know, but maybe he feels good after killing someone who hurt him in the past." Two watched Ten move around.
"That boy needs therapy." Ten wiped a tear from under her eye.
"I know, and it's our job to get him help. Until then, we will keep him in the cell in the basement." Two said to Ten.
"But Two! Isn't that cruel?" Ten looked at Two.
"He's a killer, Ten. Locking him up is the only way to stop him."
