"So when the hell did Vanya get a boyfriend? When did I miss that?" (Y/n) ranted as the four of them continued driving over to Leonard's home.

The plan originally was to find who this Harold Jenkins really was and then possibly just kill him. But since the four of them found out that he was Vanya's supposed new boyfriend, they needed to do a stake out to figure out more information about this man.

"Vanya apparently met him I think just a couple days after Five came back. They went on a few dates and hell, he even gave her flowers once. I was in her apartment when he was dropping them off but I knew there was something off about him. He just had that creepy vibe. But she likes him... like a lot." Allison explained. She held open the blue folder in the her hands, reading over all of the written info.

"But Vanya and I are best friends! How could she forget to mention that she has a freaking boyfriend?!" The teen threw her hands up in the air in confusion.

"Well you have been running off and around with Five a lot, recently." Diego added in, looking back in his driver's mirror to her. "Or maybe... you just don't know know her as much as you think you do."

She let out a scoff and crossed her arms.

"Vanya and I know everything about each other. She even know about the time when we were fifteen and how she dared me to put itching powder is Luther's underwear drawer--"

"That was you?! I got grounded by Mom for like a month 'cause he thought it was me!"

"Not the point but anyways, there's no secret the two of us would keep from each other. She's my best friend." (Y/n) finished as she sunk back in her seat.

Five rubbed over his aching stomach as he looked out the window to the sideview mirror. He caught a glimpse of (Y/n)'s slightly sullen face and then looked away guiltily. He knew how close her and Vanya were. Sometimes a bit too close for his liking. But he never said anything, he was close with her as well.

They pulled up front to the lawn of Harold Jenkin's house and they all stepped out of the car. (Y/n) and Five went around the car and the girl took in notice of the boy's pained limping but stayed silent about it. If he had something to tell her, she'll let him tell her himself.

"Be careful, okay? We don't know what Peabody's capable of." Allison cautioned them.

"Yeah, he didn't seem dangerous when I first saw him. Looked kinda scrawny." Diego said, remembering when earlier that day Vanya came over during their meeting and a lanky but shorter man than him was standing disaprovingly behind her.

"Yeah, well, so are most serial killers and mass murderers. I mean, look at him." The woman pointed to Five.

"Thanks." He took it as a compliment.

"Well he's an almost 60-year-old in a teen's body so does that really count?" (Y/n) asked in the conversation.

"Still, it's a good point. So what's this guy want with Vanya?" Diego questioned, approaching the front door, not noticing Allison go around the side of the small house.

"I don't know. How about we ask him after we kill him?" Answered Five.

"Five, no. We're not gonna kill him." (Y/n) said, then turned around to Diego and Five with a mischievous grin on her face. "We're gonna question this asshat for answers, but if he hurt Vanya then we'll torture him for about three hours and then we'll kill him but I get the final blow."
