Coup D'etat (FiveHargreevesXReader)

Chapter 20

"Where are we going," I asked Five when I caught up. Before he could asnwer, he grabbed my wrist and blinked us into a car.

"Then why are you doing this," a British woman asked a caveman looking man. "Because he is an idoit," Five answered, which scared the woman. "Who the hell are you," she asked. "Hi," he waved, "I'm his loving brother." "Who left me to rot in the nuthouse," the man said. "Wait," I looked over the seat, "Diego!" He rolled his eyes, "Great. It's her." "Yeah, catch up and whatever. I left you there to protect you from yourself," Five said. "That's quite sweet," the British woman said. "Okay," Diego said, "All of you, out." "Lose the lady and come with me," Five told Diego, "We have important business." "Then lose (Y/N)."

Me and the lady spoke while they argued. "I'm Lila," she shook my hand. "I'm (Y/N). How do you know Digeo?" "I was in the hospital with him," she smiled at me. I complimented her bracelet and she complimented my tattoo on my thigh. I decided we could be friends.

"I am not going anywhere with you," Diego said to Five. Five looked out the window and saw a police man. "Okay, fine, he pushed me against the seat so he could yell out the window, "Officer!" Diego grabbed him by his jacket, "Hey! What are you doing?" "I hear there's a reward out for you two," he gave a sarcastic smile. "He's bluffing," Lila said. Diego looked at Five for a moment, "He's not. Fine. I'll go with you." "What about me," Lila asked. "And I'm bringing the crazy lady," Diego said. "And I'm bringing this idiot," Five pointed to me.

We went back to Elliot's house. "So, you and Diego," I teased Lila. "Oh, God no," she said with that heavy accent. "I think he likes you." "Good for him. I'd stab him before I would ever do anything with that man! But, you and Five, huh?" My face grew red, "Only a little." She laughed at me, "You're in love." She pretended to gag as we walked in.

Elliot came in, pointing a gun at us. "Where did you get the film? 'The Frankel Footage!' The truth this time!" "You know this lunatic," Diego asked. Five sighed, "New acquaintance. He's harmless." "Are you sure about that," Lila questioned as Elliot still held the gun at us. "Are you or are you not an enemy of the people," he screamed. "That's such an open ended question," Diego spoke to Five. "Really depends on the people," Five replied.

"You move one more muscle, I'll blow your brains out," Elliot threatened us. "You want to take this or should I," Diego asked Five. "No, I got him." He blinked over to Elliot. "Hey Lila," Diego said as Five caused Elliot to shoot the ceiling. He grabbed the gun and tossed it to Diego. "What the hell just happened," Lila sputtered. "Long story," I smiled as I pulled my blade out and pointed it towards Elliot.

We went in the back and watched the film. I sat on a table explaining everything to Lila as she painted Elliot's nails. The film showed an older couple. "They're so cute," Lila said as Elliot tried to get out of the ropes that tied him to the chair, "I love old couples. I'm always so proud of them for not murdering each other." "Why are we watching this," I asked. "Shush," Five muttered.

The film said that the date was October 22, 1963. "Well, that's twelve days from now," Lila said. "Holy shit, this is it," Diego said in a shocked tone, "The Grassy Knoll. Kennedy's about to get shot. How do you have this?" "Hazel died to get me this footage. Must be the key to stopping doomsday," Five said. "Hazel? The one from The Commision," I asked. "Long story." "What's doomsday," Lila asked. "Longer story," Five and I said together. "What exactly did he say to you," I asked about our former coworker. "Well, he was killed before he could explain. But, whatever he wanted us to see, it's on this film."

Gunshots went off and screms happened. "Oswald," Diego muttered as he stood up. "Oh, no," Five exclamated and moved the projected back to zoom in. "That can't be," I said, walking with Diego and Five to the wall where the film was being shown. "Okay, you gonna fill me in on this now, boys? What the hell is this shit we're watching," Lila yelled.  "No, that's impossible," Diego ignored her question. "Clearly not," I said.

"What? What is it," Elliot mumbled. "Dad," Diego and Five said quietly. "Of course Dad would be involved in the assassination. I should've known," Diego said. "But, why would he? He has nothing to do with JFK," I said. "She's right," Five said, "You're jumping to conclusions." "Then what else is he doing  standing on The Grassy Knoll holdin an open black umbrella on a sunny day in Dallas at the exact same moment the president gets shot" Diego yelled. "It doesn't look good, I'll admit," Five said. "No, he's the signalman for the whole damn thing." "Easy, Diego! Seriously!" "No, it makes sense. This has what Hazel was obviously trying to tell you. We have to stop Dad from killing the president." "Diego, calm down all right," Five yelled.

"This sounds crazy," I said, "But, I believe it. The world knew close to nothing about your father. No one would know if he did or not." "Great. Now, my girlfriend is as stupid as my dumbass brother. Dad was no boy scout, but presidental assassination? It's never been his thing." "How would you know? You skipped out on his golden years," Diego said. "Skipped out? You think I had it easy, Diego? I was alone for fourth-five years!" I made a face at the fact that he was that old. "You know what? We don't have time for this right now," Five said, "Dad's clearly in Dallas, right? Let's just go talk to him. Maybe he can help us fix the timeline." "Dallas is a big place," I said, "We need to find him first." "Gee, if only we had some magical, old-timey way of finding people and their adress."

We looked through some big book and found the adress to Reginald's company. "Let's go," Diego said, walking away. Elliot freaked out, still tied up. "He okay to leave here like that," Diego asked. "Yeah, he's fine," Five said, "What about the girl?" We turned to see Lila gone. "Shit," Diego said. He went to find her.  "You ready to see your dad," I asked. Five sighed, "I haven't seen him in over fourty years." "I've never seen him at all. We can see him together," I smiled and held his hand. He gave me a slight smile and kissed me.
