We arrived at Meritech now riding up in the elevator. Once we exited the elevator, Five immediately went over to Big's office, wanting to talk. Klaus sat in a chair in front of Big's huge desk as Five was behind Klaus, and I was standing behind the empty chair on the left of Klaus.
"Empty chair, do a solo!" -Holly Frazier, 2015
"Like I said to your son and his girlfriend earlier, any information about the prosthetics we build is strictly confidential. Without a clients consent, I simply can't help you," the doctor told us.
"Well, we can't get consent if you give us a name." Five argues, now gripping the edge of the empty chair.
"Well, that's not my problem." I roll my eyes, pulling Five back before he rips Big to shreds. "Sorry. Now, there's really nothing more I can do so—"
He gets cut off my Klaus. "What about my consent?"
Big scrunches his eyebrows, "Excuse me?"
Klaus starts to fake cry. "Who gave you permission. . . to lay your hands. . ." he points to Five and I. "on my son and his dear girlfriend?"
"What?" We all ask confused more than ever.
"I didn't touch them," the doctor argues.
"Oh, really?" Klaus asks, standing up. "Then how did he get this swollen lip and she get a hand print on her cheek?"
Big gives a confused look. "They don't have a—" Klaus abruptly stands up, slapping Five across the face—hard—leaving him with a swollen, bloody lip. He turns to me while Five yells to stop, nevertheless he still slaps me anyways.
Five runs up to me. "Are you alright? Does it hurt badly?"
I shake my head, still feeling a slight sting. "I'm fine, don't worry. What about you? Your lip looks pretty bad," I wipe blood off his bottom lip.
"No, I'm alright," he says as he lifts up his hand to touch check, but I back away from him.
Five sighs as he puts his hand back to his side with a sigh. I avoided eye contact with him as we both looked back at Klaus.
"I want it. Name, please. Now!" Klaus demands.
"You're crazy," the doctor shudders.
"You've got no idea," Klaus looks upon his desk, noticing a snow glob, "'Peace on Earth'." he reads. "That's so sweet."
Klaus proceeds to smash the snow glob onto his forehead, leading him to grunt in pain as the water from the glob as well as the glass and small snowflakes fall from his face. "GOD, that hurt!"
The doctor frantically grabs the phone, "I'm calling secur—" I cut him off mid sentence by grabbing the phone. "What are you doing?" he fears.
"Shut up," I hold a finger out towards him. "I'm on the phone. Have your parents not taught you manners!" he shrinks back into his seat. "Help! There's been an assault in Mr. Bigs office, and we need security, now, shcnell!" I drop the phone back onto the desk.
"Now, here's what's gonna happen, Grant," I lean towards him.
"It's Lance." he corrects, looking down in fear.
"Whatever!" I yell, making him jump.
"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?" Klaus stands beside me. "And we're gonna say that you," Klaus starts to fake cry, "Beat the shit out of us."
Klaus changed his mood and stands up straight. "You're gonna do great in prison, Grant. Trust me, I've been there. They are gonna pass you around like a chicken and it's gon—"
"Klaus!" I snap him back into reality.
"You're gonna do great," he concludes.
"Jesus, you're a real sick bastard," Lance perks up.
"Thank you." Klaus thanks, spiting out glass.

I'm standing next to Five in front of the desk while Lance is getting the file. Klaus is sitting on top of the desk watching Lances every move. "Oh, that's strange," Lance spoke.
"What?" Five asks, leaning forward slightly.
"Uh, the eye. It hasn't been purchased by a client yet." I scrunch my eyebrows.
"What? What do you mean?" Klaus asks, jumping down from the desk and gets closer to Lance.
"Well, uh, our logs say that the eye with the serial number," he reads over the file, now in confusion. "This can't be right. It hasn't even been manufactured yet. Where did you get that eye?" he looks directly at Five, who clenches his jaw and walks off towards the elevator.
☂︎
"Well, that's not good," Five concludes as we walk out of the Meritech building. We all decided it would be best to leave because we knew we weren't going to get another word out of Lance.
"I was pretty good, though, right? 'What about my consent, bitch'?" Klaus retorts while Five and I give him annoyed glances.
"Klaus, it doesn't matter," Five annoyingly states.
"What? What?" Klaus starts. "What's the big deal with this eye, anyway?"
Five angrily stomps up to Klaus. "There is someone out there who's going to lose an eye in the next seven days. They're going to bring the end of life on this Earth as we know it," he throws his hands in the air.
"Yeah," Klaus sighs. "can I get that 20 bucks, like, now or what?" Klaus ponders.
"Your 20 bucks?" Five retorts.
"Yeah, my 20 bucks," Klaus claims.
Five walks up to Klaus with frustration on his face. "The apocalypse is coming, and all you can think about is getting high?"
"To be honest, I'm with Klaus on this one," I spoke up and Five gives a confused face.
"Well, I'm also quite hungry. Tummy's a-rumblin'," Klaus starts making fake rumbling noises.
I put my head in my hands, sitting down on the stairs not wanting to listen to the conversation anymore.
Five glares at Klaus. "You're useless. Your're all useless!" he throws his hand in the air.
I turn my head towards him, making eye contact with him and scoff, standing up and walking off.
"Wait!" he shouts while running after me. "I didn't. . ." I keep walking, but he spacial jumps in front of me. "mean you. Y/n, you've actually been helping, and I thank you for that. Just. . . please, stay."
I huff and go to sit back on the steps next to Klaus. "Oh, come one. You need to lighten up, old man." he points to Five. "Hey," he catches our attention. "You know, I've just realized why you're so uptight. You must be horny as hell!" he exclaims, chuckling which made me snicker a bit.
"All those years by yourself. It's gotta screw with your head, being alone. Must need Y/n for the job, huh? Do you still have a cru—" Five covers his mouth, making the sentence jumble up.
I look at Five and lift an eyebrow as he just shakes his head. "Well. . ." Five starts. "I wasn't alone."
"Oh? Pray tell," Klaus asks and I become more invested.
"Her name was Delores. We were together for 30 years," he fiddles with his hands.
I nod as he explained, not really showing any emotions.

"We were together for 30 years." I fiddle with my hands as Y/n nods as I explain.
Did she really not feel anything from that?
"Thirty years? Oh,wow!" Klaus exclaims.
"God, the longest I've been with someone was... I don't know, three weeks," Klaus goes on with his rant.
At this point, I'm getting tried of Klaus. I see a taxi driving in the distance and decide to spacial jump into it, appearing in the back seat the driver gets scared.
"Don't stop. Just keep going," While passing by Klaus, I give him an army salute with a smirk. "Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, what about my money?!" he shouts.

"That piece of shit!" I stand up as Five passed both Klaus and I in a taxi.
So much for helping him save the world. Couldn't even bring me with him.
"Hey, calm down," Klaus stands up. "So, about that twenty—"
"No!" I turn my heal and walk back to the academy.
☂︎
Once I got back to the academy earlier, I had a quick nap. Right now, I'm walking to the medical room to take my medicine. I had a horrible anxiety attack when I woke up from my nap so I thought it would be good to take them. After taking 1 of each of my medication pills, I walk out of the room and head downstairs to grab a glass of water.
While filling water into the glass, I see a vibrant blue light appear behind me. "Christ on a cracker, Five!" I exclaim, almost making me drop my glass on the floor. He chuckles, sitting on the counter top while I put the pills in my mouth and take them with water.
"Well, I was going to walk up to you like a normal person—"
I roll my eyes. "Five, none of us are normal."
He smirks. "But this was way better."
Finishing my glass of water, I place the glass into the sink and start to walk away back to my room. With no remorse, he spacial jumps in front of me making me stop.
"What do you want Five?" I question, clearly annoyed. "I thought we were all useless to you," I remark from earlier, crossing my arms.
"You know I didn't mean that," Five tries to grab my hand, but I slip them away last second and he grabs air.
Why does he keep wanted to hold my hand?
"Please, I really need your help," he tries again.
"Why don't you ask Delores or whatever." I say walking up the stairs.
Five starts to chuckle, slowly turning towards me so he's facing my back. "Are you," he spacial jumps close to my ear. "jealous?" Now nuzzling his nose into my neck.
He wraps his arms around my waist and rests his chin on my shoulder. "First of all, get off," I rip his arms away from my waist and push him backwards. "Second of all, no, I'm not. Just wondering," I state calmly, walking away from him up the stairs.
"I need you to come with me somewhere. Then, you'll know what I mean about Delores," he announces, crossing his arms.
Thinking about it for a moment, I huff, leaning my head towards the ceiling, turning back towards him finally giving in.
"Fine," I groan. "I'll come with you to see your magical little girlfriend."
Five grins, holding out his hand for me to take. I roll my eyes, walking passed him down the stairs, towards the door.
"Where are we going anyways?"
"Gimble Brothers."
