Hazy Shade of Winter [ON HOLD FOR NOW]

Five leaned over the doctor's desk in a bright white office while Klaus and Adriana stood to the side.

The doctor Five had talked to prior frowned. "As I said to your son earlier, any information about the prosthetics we build is strictly confidential. Without the client's consent, I simply can't help you."

Five narrowed his eyes. "Well, we can't get consent if you don't give us a name."

He shrugged. "Well, that's not my problem."

Klaus winked at Five before looking back at the doctor. "And what about my consent?"

The doctor frowned. "Excuse me?"

Klaus narrowed his eyes. "Who gave you permission to lay your hands... on my son and daughter?" He pretended to tear up.

Adriana glanced at Klaus with a bewildered expression.

Five glowered at the doctor who said, "What?"

Klaus pointed at Five while glaring. "Oh, you heard me."

"I didn't touch your son or daughter," the doctor said.

Klaus scoffed. "Oh, really? Then how did he get that swollen lip, then? And how did she get that bloody nose?"

Next thing Five knew, Klaus punched his face and Adriana's nose. Five's hand instantly went to his lip to find out that it was bleeding. He glanced to see that Adriana's nose was also bleeding and he glared at his brother. Adriana's eyes flashed and the air turned colder as she glared at Klaus.

Klaus turned back to the doctor. "I want it. Name, please. Now."

The doctor's eyes widened. "You're crazy."

Klaus laughed. "You got no idea." He picked up the snow globe from the desk and studied it. "'Peace on earth.' That's so sweet." He smashed the snow globe over his head, causing shards to fly everywhere and blood to drip down his face.

"God, that hurt!" He cried and picked up the phone. "There's been an assault in Mr. Big's office and we need security now. Schnell!"

The doctor reached for the phone and Klaus stopped him. "Now, here's what's gonna happen, Grant."

"I-it's Lance."

Klaus continued, ignoring the doctor's comment. "In about 60 seconds, two security guards are gonna burst through that door and they're gonna see a whole lot of blood, and they're gonna wonder, 'What the hell happened?'" Five smiled smugly at the doctor.

Klaus pretended to sob. "And we're gonna tell them that you...beat the shit out of us." He stood up straighter and smiled. "You're gonna fit right in, little piece of chicken like you. Oh, my God, you're gonna get passed around like a..." he paused, "...little bitch. Yeah, yeah. You're just--you're gonna do great. That's all I'm saying."

Five smiled from the back. Adriana smirked as the temperature slowly rose.

The doctor narrowed his eyes at Klaus. "Jesus; you are a real sick bastard."

"Thank you," Klaus replied.

Lance looked through his files and frowned. "Huh. That's strange."

"What?" Five asked.

"Well, the eye. It's just, it hasn't been purchased by a client yet." His frown deepened. "This can't be right. It says that it hasn't even been manufactured yet." He gave the three a look. "Where did you get that eye?"

Five took that as their cue to leave.

As they walked out of the office, Five looked at his brother and said in a low, threatening voice, "You hurt Ana again and I'll hurt you."
