Chapter 26: That Close

"It'll all work out," I said.

"I hope so," he said before kissing my head.

I stood next to Five as he grabbed the briefcase out of the dumpster.

"Hey, guys!" Luther called out as he ran in behind us.

"Hey, Luther," I smiled.

"Where is everyone?" Luther asked.

"You're the first," Five said.

"What?" Luther said.

Five nodded, "Yeah."

I looked down the alley Klaus ran around the corner.

"Holy shit, Klaus made it," I said.

"Hey! Hey! We made it!" He yelled as he ran towards us.

"What do you mean we?" Five asked.

"Get out!" Klaus yelled.

Five and I looked at each other.

"Klaus, are you okay?" I asked.

"Out!" Klaus yelled before he puked everywhere and fell to the ground.

I buried my face in the crook of Five's neck.

"I can't believe it. I mean you're here!" Luther yelled at Klaus.

"We've got eight minutes left," Five said.

"I just had the strangest dream," Klaus said.

"Where are the others?!" Five yelled. I put my hand on his shoulder to try and calm him down.

"Hey, I need you to calm down," I whispered.

He looked at me and sighed. I combed my fingers through his hair.

"We have one minute left!" Luther yelled as he smacked his hand down on the dumpster.

"What's going on, guys? Are we going somewhere?" Klaus asked.

"It was a simple task. It was a simple task!" Five yelled as he started pacing around, "All we had to do was be here! Didn't have to fight a giant sea monster, no. An army of mutants? Nein!"

"I can't believe this!" Luther yelled.

"It was handed to us on a silver platter!" Five yelled.

"Could you just moan a little softer? My head is killing me," Klaus complained as he covered his ears.

"Listen to me, you useless puke bag. We just missed our chance to save the world!"

The briefcase started making a clicking noise indicating that the time is almost up.

"God Damn it!" Five yelled.

"Shit!" Luther yelled as Five picked up the briefcase and tossed it in the air. It disappeared.

Five sighed, "We were that close. That close."

I walked over to give him a hug, but he started pacing around before I could get my arms around him.

"Now what?" Luther asked.

"Now nothing, Luther, all right? Make your peace with God." Five yelled.

"What? What about Allison and Vanya?" Luther asked.

"Screw them both! They should've been here!" Five yelled.

"What about Diego?" I asked.

"Yeah, he's quite a responsible young man, no?" Klaus said as he sat up from the ground.
