Your point of view:

Five and I climb down the ladders at the side of the building into an alleyway, noticing Klaus in the bin as we do so.
"I'd ask what you're up to Klaus but then it occurred to me; I don't care." Five said while looking over to him.
"Okay Klaus what the fu-" I start.
"Don't sayyy that worddd Eight. You're not allowed to swear young one." Klaus shouts up in a tone that a Jedi master might use when training the next generation. I laugh slightly before responding:
"Okay Klaus, I have three things to tell you. Do you think your remaining brain cell can take that or will it burn to a crisp?"
"I think my shared brain cell will be just fine." He says quickly. What does he mean-
"Oh shut up Ben, you do not have more brain cells than me you little bitchhhhhh." Klaus says while sticking out his tongue at no one...unless Ben really is here. No one else believed Klaus when Ben first died and Klaus said he could see him. I did though. I've always had faith in Klaus, I just enjoy taking the piss out of him sometimes.
"Okay Klaus: One, I'm mentally decades older than you, two you're not a fucking Jedi master and three you're in a bin searching for god knows what. I don't think you can tell me what to do." I laugh and he joins me.
"Okay, fine. You have a point."
Five and I jump to the ground.
"Heyyy you know there are easier ways out of the house right guys?" Klaus asks us.
"Yeah but this way required the least talking. Or so I thought." Five sounds unimpressed as he begins to walk off.
"Hey, hey so if you need any more company today I could uh clear my schedule." Klaus continues the conversation before drinking from his flask full of- I don't know what.
"Looks like you've got your hands full." Five looks up at Klaus, smiling at the amusing scene.
"No, no, no. I could do this whenever-" He falls backwards into the trash "I just misplaced something, that's all...OH found it, thank god." He finishes before reappearing with a half eaten doughnut in his hand. He takes a bite, disgust is written all over his face as he does so.
"Delicious." He holds back a gag.
"We're done funding your drug habit Klaus...See you later." With that, we turn and walk down the alley to a van and get inside, attempting to ignore Klaus' rambling in the background. Five then begins to drive.
We park across the street from the prosthetics company and watch as the doctor we saw yesterday enters. We pay close attention to his movements, careful not to miss any details. After he has gone inside, Five turns around and unzips the bag containing Dolores.
"Sorry you were in there for so long Dolores...No, I'm not drunk, I'm working...Yes its about the eye thing. This is the place it was made..or will be made...We just have to wait.." Five informs her.
We sit for hours, see people passing by, kids playing.

**Flashback**

Ash drifts down through the air slowly, like the snow of hell. Five hits the breaks, stopping the van we had found a few miles back. He climbs out and glances around, I do the same and move to his side.
"No, NOOOO!" Five screams while looking at the mass destruction -caused by something unknown- surrounding us.

**End of flashback**

"Five, Eight!" I snap out of it as I hear the voice of Luther. He pulls open the door and I move into the back of the van to find Klaus there holding Dolores.
"Guys, are you okay." 
"Fine but you shouldn't be here right now. How did you find us?"Five quickly asks Luther before turning to see Klaus.
"Hey babyyy. A little privacy guys, we're really hitting it off back here." Klaus says while stroking Dolores' face. Five throws an empty can at Klaus and he screams.
"Get out, you can't be HERE." Five begins to raise his voice. I move forward and grab his hand, once again to get him to settle down. It never fails.
"Guys seriously." I start for Five.
"We're in the middle of something."
"OOOOOOO what you in the middle offfff? Were you two gonna do it in the back of a vannn?THAT'S WHY YOU ARE BEING SO SECRETIVE!!! You sneaky bastards didn't want anyone to know your dirty little secretttt." Klaus teases.
"I smell burning. Klaus is attempting and failing to use his final brain cell. May it rest in peace." I say, earning a sarcastic laugh from him.
"Oh hahaha so funny."
Luther and Five genuinely laugh.
We quickly stop though and we focus back on the current situation.

"So we looked at the security footage and think that Grace might have something to do with Dad's death." Luther says, clearly hoping we will accept. The truth is, we can't.
"We can't." Five simply responds.
"But it's important.." Luther pushes.
"Important. You don't even understand the concept of important." Five hisses back while leaning closer to Luther as if threatening him.
"Hey, did I ever tell you guys about the time I waxed my ass with chocolate pudding?" ((WHY IS THAT AN ACTUAL LINE?))
Really Klaus? Now? Any other time, I would've laughed but this is serious. Luther, Five and I send him out of the car so we can finish our conversation.
"What the hell are you two up to?" Luther asks as soon as Klaus shuts the door.
"Believe me, you wouldn't understand."
"Try me. Last I checked, I'm still the leader of this family."
"That's cute, you think you'll get it. This is too much for you to handle. Even we struggle and we are clearly intellectually superior." I say, Five laughs slightly, understanding that I'm not being fully serious. Luther on the other hand looks mildly offended.
"Yeah, and last I checked, we're mentally twenty-eight years older than you." Five finishes our strong argument.
"You know what your problem is?" Luther asks.
"No but I'm sure you'll tell me." Five says.
"You think you're better than us. You always have, even when we were kids. But the truth is, you're just as messed up as the rest of us. We're all you have and you know it."
"I don't think Y/n and I are better than you Number One. I know we are. We've done unimaginable things, things you couldn't even comprehend. Just to get back here and save you all." Five explains.
"Look Luther. I think you're a little confused too. You just called yourself the leader of the family and you always thought you were better than the rest of us when we were kids because you were Dad's Number One. You have no idea of the shit we were put through as the least favourites and you always had to be the centre of attention, perfect Number One. Now please, do us a favour and let us get back to what we are doing. It determines wether we all live or die so I'm pretty sure this is more important than figuring out what happened to 'Father' suspicious circumstances or not." I say.
Luther appears to be considering what we are saying when we hear shouting and look forwards.
Oh for fu-
"HEY, BITCHES!" Klaus shouts while running past the van, armfuls of all sorts of items. He looks at us as he runs, dropping things everywhere. He then nearly gets hit by a different van. Well done Klaus.
"I'm starting to wonder if kicking him out was the wisest decision." Five says, staring at the scene ahead.
