"Elliott, did you develop these photos yourself?" Five asked, looking at the black and white pictures through magnifying glasses.

"Of course," Elliott responded. "Can't exactly drop that stuff off at the neighborhood Fotomat. Government has eyes everywhere."

"I didn't see a dark room."

"He, uh, converted the hallway closet." You answered, swallowing your saliva hard. You suddenly feel awkward and nervous around Five and you have no idea why. You looked over to Nico who was eyeing Five suspiciously who was scribbling something on a small box.

Five approached Elliott, giving him the box. "Can you develop this?"

Elliott took the box and looked at it. "Huh. Frankel Footage. Friend of yours?" Elliott glanced at you to see you walking towards the table to drink water.

"Cousins on my robot mother's side." Five responded.

His answer made you spat your water and coughed a bit. "Your. Mother. Is. A. Robot?!" You exclaimed.

"Correction: our mother, (Y/n)." Five stated and looked back to Elliott. "Can you do it or not?"

"Sure I can."

"How long?"

"Well, I mean, I'm running low on acetic acid. Beeker's Cameras is open today but it's two miles away. I mean, I'd have to take the bus. On the other hand, Gibson's is only ten blocks away, but I gotta cut through the park, and there are pigeons—"

Five sighed tiredly. "Elliott." He called out.

"It's like five, maybe six hours."

"Attention all units, we have a code 3-15 at the Holbrook Sanitarium." You and the others heard a police reporting from Elliott's radio.

"The hell is a code 3-15?" Five asked.

"You don't know?" You questioned. "It means fugitives on the run."

Five glanced at you before walking towards the radio to listen carefully while Elliott followed him while eating his cereal. Nico stood next to you and nudged you. "How in the goddamn hell did you know about that?"

"I kinda looked at Elliott's papers and found some police codes. I got bored and uh... studied them?" Nico cocked an eyebrow at you while you shrugged. "I was curious."

"Twenty-five patients still at large. Many are considered armed and dangerous." The police continued.

A groan and sigh escaped from Five's lips. "Oh, Diego."

"Diego?" You and Elliott asked. "Who's Diego?"

Five turned to you. "Imagine Batman, then aim lower."

You blinked twice before realizing who he was describing. "Oh my God! He's the, uh, dude who looked like a bad guy before!"

"You saw him?"

"Well, yeah. Me and Nico did saw him two months ago but never saw him again."

Five slightly nodded. 'Hmm. So she saw the others. I wonder who else did she see.' The boy turned to Elliot and pointed at the box. "You get started on that film. I'll be back as soon as I can." Five turned to leave, placing down the silver pen he was holding, and then looked at you. "You can start trying remembering your real memories, (Y/n). I'll help you once I get our idiotic brother."
