The Frankel Footage

"Shit" I whispered, "What now?"

Diego looks around, "This way."

We run across the street to, what seems to be, an apartment type ally. "Alright we can't stay here for too long" He says, "they're gonna be looking for us"

I chuckle, "Do you mean the cops, or the Draco Malfoy looking type guys with big guns?"

"Both." He runs over and jumps on a trash can, "Diego, what the hell are you doing?" I sigh

He starts throwing clothes at us, "I'm not gonna get very far dressed like a lobotomy case"

"You mean we won't get very far" Lila corrects him

"Well yeah, me and Eight. Look I appreciate your help Lila" We all start taking our clothes off to change. "But now we-- Oh" He turns away from us as he takes off his pants. "Now we go our separate ways"

"Why?"

"Because they're gonna be looking for us. All three of us. We stand a better chance alone"

"You guys need me. We make a good team"

"handler"
"kill"
I brush off the thoughts again

"Yea, but it's dangerous" I respond

"You didn't think so back at the fun house when I saved both your asses, or did you forget?"

Police sirens start blaring, Lila and Diego go behind a pillar as I crouch next to a car again.

After they leave Lila says, "Come on guys, let's get in my car"

"What car?" She throws a rock at the window and sits at the driver seat. "What is it Diego, don't like the color?" She teases

"Stop being a damn princess and get in!" I say loudly 

"Eight be quiet" He scoffs, "move"

"What no, I was here first! I call shot gun"

"I'm older than you" "We're the same age!"

I roll my eyes, "fine, I'll get in the back"



We park in front of a book deposit building, "Alright, here's the plan: Oswald finished his shift at 4:30 pm. Once he walks out those doors, we force him into the front seat."

"I'm in the front seat" Lila speaks

"Okay fine, in the back seat"

"I know I'm easy to forget, but I'm in the back seat" I grin

He looks at me and scoffs, "Then you'll get out of the back seat."

"Then where would I sit?" "Oh for crying out loud! You'll watch over him in the front seat."

"This is a very stupid idea Diego. You can't prevent the inevitable" I roll my eyes

He ignores me, "You're gonna pin his arms, and I'm gonna cut off his trigger finger and tell him he has 24 hours to get out of Dallas"

"Why is it always 24 hours? Why not 10, 15, 4-" 

"That's your plan?" Lila asks, "You got a problem with it?"

"Well, why don't we just kill him?" "What?"

"I mean, you think he's gonna shot the president, right?" She asks, "Right."

"Ok so fine, we kill him. Put a bullet between his eyes. Problem solved"

"I like her plan better"

"Oh no, no, we're not gonna kill a man before he's committed a crime."

"That's stupid" "Amen" "Excuse me?"

"In fact, your whole plan is stupid. What, chopping off a guys finger?" She smiles

"No, it's not just any finger, it's his trigger finger, all right?" Me and Lila begin to laugh.

I wish I would've been left with a smart brother, or Klaus. Either or.

"What is so funny, you can't shot a gun without a trigger finger."

"Riddle me this Diego," I lean into the front seats, "what if he's ambidextrous?"

He looks at me confused. "How do you get through a day?" Lila gives him a fake sympathy face

"Get out. Both of you. I can do this on my own."

"Dr. Moncton was right, this hero complex is no joke." "That's not what this is about" 

"Of course it it, y-you want to prove to daddy that you're a big success." She explains

"No you don't know anything about me. Or Eight for that matter."

"I know everything about you."

"The handler...commission...order...protect..."

"You...you are an open book written for very dumb children"

Diego looks at her annoyed, "I am not trying to be a hero, okay?" He says haltingly 

"Then why are you doing this?"

*whoosh*

"JESUS FUCK" I scream

"Because his an idiot" Five says

Everyone jumps back, "Who the hell are you?"

"Hi. I'm their loving brother"

"Who, not to be rude or anything, left us to rot in a damn nuthouse" I add. Five side eyes me

"Yea to protect you from yourselves" He says

I laugh, "that's quite sweet" Lila says

"No it's not" I say under my breath

"Okay. All three of you, out"

"Lose the crazy lady and come with me." Five says to both of us, Lila giving him an offended face. "We have important business"

"And who says we want to go anywhere with you?" I raise an eyebrow, Diego nods in agreement

"Okay fine" He smiles going towards the door, "Officer!"

I grab him by the shoulder, "Hey! What the hell are you thinking?"

"I heard there's a reward for all of you" He smirks at me

"He's bluffing" Lila says

I look into his eyes for a bit to see if it was true or not. I let him go, "No, no he's not. He's telling the truth." I sigh, "Fine we'll go with you"

"Wait what about me?" Diego looks at her, then at five. "And I'm bringing the crazy lady."


We walk up to a building. Heading inside the house was actually big. I mean not huge but not small.

"Where did you get the film?" A guy walks in holding a riffle. "The Frankel footage" The truth this time" He says walking faster towards us

"Wow five, some interesting friends you've made" I chuckle

"He's a new acquaintance. He's completely harmless" He sighs

"Are you sure about that?" Lila says with her hands slightly up.

"Are you or are you not the enemy of the people!" They guy shouts

"That's a really open-ended question" "Yeah" "Really, it depends on the people" "Anyone could be" We all say at once

"You move one more muscle, and I'll blow your brains out"

I start laughing, "oh I-I'm sorry. But i-it's just so funny how hard you try"

I take his gun off his hands, making it fly towards me. Diego takes it and takes out all the bullets.

Lila laughs with her hands still slightly raised. "What the hell just happened?"

"Depends, you got all day?" I ask sarcastically
