Eight's POV:

Me and Five were in the kitchen. Klaus was on a chair with a guitar in his hands, for some stupid reason.

I hear Allison walk in.

"Where's Vanya?" Allison asked.

"Oh, she's gone," Klaus answered.

"That's unfortunate," Five said as he walked to the table.

"Yeah," Allison agreed.

"An entire square block. Forty-two bedrooms, 19 bathrooms, but no, not a single drop of coffee," Five looked at Allison.

'Why am I not surprised' I say in my head.

"Dad hated caffeine," Allison reminded.

"Well, he hated children, too, and he had plenty of us," Klaus laughed. I gave him a annoyed stare.

"We're taking the car," Five said.

"Where are you two going?" Klaus asked.

"Do get a decent cup of coffee," I looked at Klaus.

"Do you two even know how to drive?" Allison asked.

"We know how to do everything," Five said as he grabbed my hand and spatial jumped to the car.

-----------------------------------------------------------

Eight's POV:

We go to a place called 'GRIDDY'S DOUGHNUTS'.

When we went inside, it was empty.

Me and Five sat down and Five rang the bell on the table.

Suddenly, another man sits down next to Five.

A lady with a pink uniform came in.

"Sorry, sink was clogged," The lady chuckled.

"So, what'll it be?" The lady asked the man.

"Uh, give me a chocolate éclair," The man ordered.

"Mm-hmm. Sure," The lady wrote on her note pad.

"Can I get the kids a glass of milk or something?" The lady asked facing me and Five.

'Kids. Seriously!?' I yell in my head.

"The kids want coffee. Black," Five said, I smiled at him, I was always a fan of black coffee.

"Cute kids," The lady smiled at the man. He just looked confused.

Me and Five just exaggerated smiles.

The lady looked kind of scared. She left to get our orders.

"Don't remember this place being such a shithole," Five said to the man. "We used to come here when we were kids. Used to sneak out with our brothers and sisters and eat doughnuts till we puked," Five continued.

"The fun we had," I mumble.

"Simpler times, huh?" Five asked.

"Uh, I suppose," The man said really confused.

The waitress came with our orders. "Here," She mumbled.

"I got theirs," The man said handing out money.

"Thanks," Me and Five say in unison.

"You must know your way around the city," Five looked at the man's jacket.

"I hope so. I've been driving it for 20 years," The man explained.

"Good. I need an address," Five said.

-----------------------------------------------------------

Eight's POV:

The man left after he gave Five an address.

I took one drink of my coffee, I look at the silver bell and saw armed men.

"Hmm. That was fast," Five said.

"Really fast," I looked at my cup.

"Thought we had more time before they found us," Five kept his eye on his cup.

"Okay. So let's all be professional about this, yeah? On your feet and come with us. They want to talk," The man explained.

"We've got nothing to say," I said.

"It doesn't have to go this way. You think I want to shoot kids? Go home with that on my conscience?" The man asked.

"Well, I wouldn't worry about that," Five started.

"You won't be going home," I finished.

Then, Five grabs a butter knife and spatial jumps behind the man, them stabbed him.

The other men started to shoot their guns, causing the lights to flicker.

Me and Five spatial jump to a table.

"Hey, assholes!" Me and Five shout in unison.

They started to shoot their guns but we had already spatial jumped to outside by the the front door. Five knocked on the door.

One of the men look at us. Five did a salute as I did a wave.

We spatial jumped again we he stated shooting.

Five spatial jumped next to a man stabbing him with a sharp thing.

One was going to shoot Five, but I turned invisible grabbed a sharp piece of broken glass and stabbed it in the guy's neck.

Five spatial jumped again choking another man with his tie.

Five grabbed a pencil and stabbed a man's eye.

I threw a plate at a man who pointed his gun. He got knocked out for a few seconds then got up.

Him and another man were about to shoot me and Five, but Five grabbed my hand and spatial jumped. The two men shot each other.

We spatial jumped back to see all the men dead. Five got his tie.

Five cracked a guy's neck before sighing in exhaustion.

He picked up a tracking device that had two red dots beeping. Five grabbed a knife and we both sat in two chairs.

Five used the life to cut his arm, then, he gave me the knife so I could do the same.

I winced as I used the knife to cut me. I felt my fingernails go deep in my skin again.

Once of I was done cutting. Me and Five put our fingers in our cuts. It hurt like hell. And got out a tracker.

We both sighed as we looked at each other.

-----------------------------------------------------------

Eight's POV:

We both walked outside as we headed to the car. Before we did that, we dropped the trackers next to a sewer hole.

We got in the car.

"I got to admit, that was kinda fun," I said quietly.

"Yeah..." He said as he looked at the address the man gave him.

"So where are we going?" I ask.

"To tell a sister everything that happened and will happen," Five answered.

I knew right then where we were going.....

Vanya.
