"Never turn out like your sister."
"Blair! You're leaving me!" Brenn yelled as she attempted to catch up with her sister, running as fast she could. Blair didn't care at the moment, as terrible as that sounded. All she cared about was running through the apartment complex, surly waking everyone with the loud clicks of her heels. Scanning the numbers Five told her, searching for the right one.
"Here!" Blair announced as she drug Brenn into the door, slamming it loudly.
"Diego! Diego!" she yelled out, swinging open the first door she found.
There he was.
Half way out of the bed as she saw him, a squeal leaving her lips as she launched herself at him. Diego couldn't see very well due to the lack of light and the sudden waking up. Letting out a battle cry he threw the figure on top of him onto the ground, attacking them, search for wrist.
"Y'all done?" Brenn asked as she turned on the light, revealing Blair looking at him in shock.
"What the hell was that, Tarzan?" she asked before he collapsed on top of her in a hug.
"Where have you been? Stupid." Diego said as he hugged her tightly.
"Getting married... you?" she asked while squeezing him.
"Breaking away from the emotionally insane." he said as they let go, crawling off of her to pull her off the ground to hug her once more.
"Should have taken me with you." Blair said as he laughed, rubbing the back of her head while holding her close to him.
"Wish I would have." he admits.
"Excuse me?" a english accent spoke up making the two pull away to see a darker girl in the bed he was once in, "Am I interrupting?"
"Who are you?" Blair asked, the slightest bit of defense in her tone.
"I'm Lila, who are you?" she asked with a attitude.
"I'm his best friend." she shot back.
"Impossible considering i'm his best friend." Lila said as Blair scoffed and started to tell her off before Diego interrupted.
"Ladies, cool it." he warned while moving past Blair.
"Hey, kiddo." he said while Brenn grinned and hugged him tightly.
"So, what, you just let her go?" Diego asked Five in disbelief as Lila changed his gauz wounds.
"Well, Vanya had a lot to process." Five began as he gave the extra cup of coffee to Blair.
"That a understatement." the girl said with a rise of her eyebrow, taking a sip quickly.
"What about the guys that went after her?" Diego asked while looking back at Five.
"The Swedes?" Five questioned as Brenn hide her laugh.
"Yeah, I mean, how do you know they won't go after her again?" Diego asked again as Lila took the cups of coffee the man who's apartment they were staying in offered.
"Yeah, I mean, Vanya is tiny, they might second guess her." Blair agreed with her best friend, watching Five walk around the room.
"We don't." Five huffed while putting the cup down.
"Any idea who sent them?" Lila spoke through her thick accent.
"Oh, I have my suspicions." Five said as he eyed her, the uncomfortable look on her face fueling Blair.
"Can't say I don't have a few myself." the latina woman said as she eyed her while drinking her coffee, trying to keep a intimidating face though her mouth was burning.
"But, right now, our priority is finding Dad and getting answers, cause everything else depends on it." Five said with a forced smile, sitting down next to Brenn.
"What do I tell my wife?" Blair asked, knowing she'd been here to long.
"She will find out, for now you need to stick with us, clear?" Five asked as Blair raised her eyebrows.
"Well I think she-" Blair began again before she was cut off.
"Clear?" the old man in the thirteen year olds body raised his voice at her.
"Yup, clear as crystal." Blair nodded her head immediately as Brenn slapped her forehead in disbelief.
"To be fair, I found him already." Diego spoke up, ignoring the small conversation.
"And let him go. Before we could have a meaningful conversation." Five said with a fake smile, crossing one of his legs over the other.
"He stabbed me." Diego said with a knowing look.
"And i'll stab him." Blair said as Lila looked to her.
"Yeah, she's not kidding." Brenn commented with a shake of her head.
"I'm surprised he waited this long, Diego. We've all had the urge." Five said with a loud sigh while picking up his coffee again.
"No kidding." Blair agreed as Diego shot her a look.
"Good one." Lila laugh loudly and forcefully, holding up her hand for Five to slap as he just looked at her as if she was a idiot.
"Good thing I know where dads gonna be tonight." Five said as Blair raised a eyebrows.
"Ou, where? A maidens house? A strip club? Something scandalous?" Blair said with a eyebrow raise, making her sister look at her with a dumb look again. Five held out a slip of paper which Diego snatched, causing Blair to looked over his shoulder at it.
"Where'd you get this?" the man questioned as Blair subtlety pushed Lila away.
"Found it at his office while he was busy stabbing you." Five nodded as Blair hummed.
"Team work, love it." she said while reading it over.
"Never turn out like your sister." Five said as he looked over at Brenn who hummed.
"Believe me, I pray on it everyday." she said back before looked at the three again.
"Hoyt Hillenkoetter and the Consulate General of Mexico in Dallas cordially invites you to a gale." Diego read from the note quickly while Blair squinted to see closer.
"Woah, wait. Hoyte Hillenkoetter?" Elliot asked in shock from where he stood from the corner.
"Yeah, you know him?" Five asked with a confused look.
"We should go. Says there's gonna be a seafood tower." Lila spoke while Blair held herself back from making a comment.
"No, Hillenkoetter is-is one of the Majestic Twelve." Elliot spoke quickly, stumbling over his words.
"What the hell is a majestic twelve?" Diego repeated confused.
"Like a Prefects? Like from Harry Potter?" Blair went on as Diego nodded in agreement.
"What? It's a secret committee." Elliot said as if the two were dumb for asking.
"Like a cult, how fitting." Blair said with a sigh.
"Uh, scientist, military, uh, deep state. No one knows what they really do." Elliott spoke, hurrying to his notes on the table.
"Wait, so they're government?" Diego asked as he sat up straighter.
"Shadow government. Kennedy was the first president to try and push em into the light, but these guys are not to be trifled with." Elliot went on as Brenn and Blair shared a similar look.
"Here we go, right here." Elliot said as he rushed over with a photo in his hand, "Thats Hoyt right there."
"I only count eleven." Lila said as she looked down at the picture much like everyone else did.
"Well, that's because they've only identified eleven so far." Elliot spoke again as he rubbed his hands together.
"Who's the twelve?" Diego questioned with a odd look.
