The Space Between Us (S1) || Five Hargreeves x Reader

☕️ Chapter Nineteen ☕️

Diego parks the car just outside the police station. "I know this Jenkins dude has to have a record. We just got to get our hands on his file."

"And your plan is to what? Waltz right in there and ask for it?" Allison asks.

I shrug. "Meh. I see him more of a tango or flamenco kind of guy."

"Zip it!" He exclaims at me, quickly bringing his hand across his mouth like there's a zipper there, to which I just smirk. 

He rolls his eyes and looks at Allison. "I know the station like the back of my hand, sis. I've spent a lot of time in there." Diego replies.

I scoff lightly. "Well, obviously. You're always here in handcuffs. You don't exactly have the best history here."

It's true. Almost every time he's at the police station, he's been handcuffed. He really wanted to work here, but he couldn't get pass the police academy. Such a wimp...

He waves his hand frantically. "Whatever. Here's the plan."

"Plan?" Five asks. "I'm just going to blink in there and get the file."

Diego shakes his head. "No, that's not...you don't know the ins and outs of this place, ok?"

"We literally came here yesterday." Five replies.

"What?" Diego asks.

"Our yesterday, not your yesterday." Five explains.

'He's just saying that, so he can go in.' I smirk to myself. "Diego, it'd be quicker if you'd just let Five do it."

"He's not going in." He firmly states. "Besides, I made a call, because that's what a leader does. He leads." He climbs out of the car and enters an alleyway.

"I wonder how long this will take..." I wonder out loud.

"I don't know, but while we wait, I need to call Vanya." Allison informs and also climbs out of the car and walks over a phone booth, close to the car.

"Nothing better to do then wait outside for him to get back." Five mutters and gets out of the car and leans against the building wall.

I get out too, cause who wants to be stuck in a car alone. I walk over and stand close beside Allison.

"Hey, Vanya. It's me." Allison says into the phone. "I just wanted to..." She looks around her. "Look. Things have gotten so messed up and all I ever wanted was to be a good sister. I guess I pretty much failed at that, but you need to call me back, ok? I love you, sis." She puts the phone on the hook.

I lay a hand on her shoulder. "I don't know what's up with Vanya right now, but don't think you're not a good sister. I mean, you have your moments, but normally, you're a great sister."

She lays her hand on top of mine. "Thanks."

A 'so?' from Five grabs both of our attentions to see that Diego is back and he did not take as long as I thought he would. Five still could've done it a lot faster, but he did alright.

Diego pulls out the file and holds it out behind him and in Allison's grasp. "You're welcome."

Allison rips the file out of his hand and opens it to look through it.

I smirk. "You see where cockiness gets you?"

He points his finger at me. "If you keep taking like that, you'll see where snarkiness gets you."

I cross my arms. "You think you scare me? Well, I hope these words don't hurt you too much, but you don't."

"Holy shit!" Allison exclaims, making us put a stop on our fighting. She turns the file around. "Harold Jenkins is Leonard Peabody."
