"Authorities are asking for help identifying several persons of interest at Dealey Plaza at the time of the assassination. The FBI believes they may have been acting in concert with the alleged shooter, Lee Harvey Oswald. Vanya Hargreeves, wanted in connection with the deaths of several FBI agents inside the federal building at Dealey Plaza. A Cuban exile known only as Diego..."

"Cuban?" Diego furrowed his eyebrows, looking around at his siblings and Primrose where they were all gathered on the Ground Floor of Elliot's place. All pairs of eyes were trained to the lit up TV that showed the news of that day, pictures of people they named popping up on screen and the said fugitives watching with dread.

Vanya and Luther were stood, Diego and Five were leaning against the stair banisters, Allison was higher up on the stairs and balancing herself on the banister whilst Primrose sat on the first couple of stairs; Klaus was the only one not with them, he had opted to stay upstairs whilst the others sat downstairs. After Kennedy's assassination, Primrose quite literally had to drag Diego off of the street and to Elliot's as quickly as she could despite the fact that he was heavy and she was very weak. They couldn't risk him getting recognised from his previous wanted posters and they got inside in little time, still upset and it wasn't long until everyone else gathered with them and the news began to play.

"...who recently escaped from the Holbrook Sanitarium. A bare-knuckle boxer with suspected Mafia ties who fights under the alias 'King Kong'" Primrose glanced over at Luther but held her amusement as the TV presenter continued. "Allison Chestnut, a Negro radical resposnible for instigating and organising the recent riots at Stadtler's lunch counter. Primrose Armitage, presumably in relation to successful father-son scientist duo, who has been seen with the previous suspects on multiple occasions and is also suspected for aggravated assault at Stadtler's lunch counter."

"Fair." She mumbled to herself as she remembered her run-in with Dave's homophobic uncle where she had punched him in the face and then stamped on his nose before walking out without a problem. Everyone glanced to her and she just glanced back, not bothering to explain herself.

"And finally, Klaus, the controversial cult leader and known tax evader." Primrose tilted her head at the odd picture they used that looked like some sort of drawing or painting of Klaus as some sort of holy figure. "The FBI is asking the public to be on the lookout for this unidentified boy, who they believe is being held hostage by the suspected terrorist network..."

"Well, it's true." Five shrugged his shoulders with an accepting nod and everyone looked  over at him, raising and furrowing their eyebrows at him. "I do feel like I'm being held hostage most days."

"God, I hate that photo." Diego muttered, presumably talking about the one it had showed when his name was mentioned which was a mugshot from a couple of months ago when he still had his short hair and his clothes from 2019. Primrose wasn't bothered about her photo, it was one that had been taken whilst she and Klaus were walking down the street and Klaus had just been cropped out of it.
