What if I never even see you cause we're both on a stage,
Don't tell me listen to your song because it isn't the same,
I don't wanna say your love is a waiting game

CHAPTER 16

"Authorities are asking for help identifying several persons of interest at Dealey Plaza at the time of the assassination. The FBI believes they may have been acting in concert with the alleged shooter, Lee Harvey Oswald." I stand beside Vanya watching the tv news broadcast with my hands on my hips, "Vanya Hargreeves, wanted in connection with the deaths of several FBI agents inside the federal building at Dealey Plaza. A Cuban exile known only as Diego who recently escaped from the Holbrook Sanitarium. A bare-knuckle boxer with suspected Mafia ties who fights under the alias 'King Kong.' Allison Chestnut, a negro radical responsible for instigating and organising the recent riots at Stadtler's lunch counter. And finally, Klaus, The controversial cult leader and know tax evader. The FBI is asking the public to be on the lookout for this unidentified boy, who they believe is being held hostage by the suspected network."

"Well, it's true." 5 states, "I do feel like I'm being held hostage most days."

"Huh, fascinating."

"What?" Luther questions.

"For once I'm the good kid!" I state sharing a smile with my siblings, one which I didn't get in return, "Dad would have been proud."

"God, I hate that photo." Diego states ignoring my comment.

"They're saying I instigated the riot?" Allison chimes in, "That's unbelievable."

"Look, the good news is..."

"Good news?" I question interrupting him.

"Is that we restored the timeline and we stopped doomsday. So-"

"Yeah, a bunch of real goddamn heroes." Diego mumbles, "We let Kennedy die."

"Yeah, and now we're officially the most wanted people in the world." Allison begins to explain, "The FBI is after us, the Dallas police, the Secret Service. I mean it's only a matter of time before they hunt us down here."

"Well, where are we supposed to go?"

"Kat I guess you can stay if you want but the rest of us..."

"No. If Luther is getting caught by the police I have to be there to watch." I reply giving Luther a wink causing him to sigh. I see out the corner of my eyes a ghost of a smile appear on Diego's face.

"I have this yurt just outside Reykjavik." Klaus offers walking down the stairs. "We could totally lay low there. Folks there are a little weird, but lovely." I shake my head. If he's talking about the cult I don't want to go back there. "Welcoming-"
