ALICE'S P.O.V

We were waiting in the car for Hazel and Cha cha to come. I heard Five sigh as I glanced away from the horizon beside us.

"You know I never enjoyed it, the killing. I mean I was good at it and I took pride in it, but it never gave me pleasure" Five said.

I think even though Five did all those things, I still think that he's the most caring person here. Getting stuck, having to work for the Handler and spending years trying to figure out how to get back here just to save his siblings. "It's being alone that breaks you" Luther said, and for once I agree with him on that.

A couple of minutes later we hear a car coming in. assuming it was Hazel and Cha cha, Five and Luther got out of the car with me following shortly. Five turned to me "Keep your distance, they may not see you but you can still get hurt when things get messy" Five warned me.

I nodded as I kept my distance a bit to ease Five's worries, even though I know that there won't be any shootout that's gonna happen.

"Also tell Delores I'm sorry" Five said as he went to Hazel and Cha cha. He negotiated with them for a bit then Cha cha went to the payphone beside them. I assumed that she was contacting the Handler.

As we were waiting we heard the sound of an ice cream truck coming our way. "Right on time, great" I said as it passed us with Klaus smiling and waving at us.

"Hey wonder!"

Klaus said as he waved at me and I could see Ben sitting on the front having a blast as Klaus drove.

"What the hell are they doing here?" Five said, confused.

"They must have been on a 'mission'" I said facepalming myself.

"It's a setup!" Cha cha said as they started to pull out their guns and shoot. Five pulled me behind him as Luther shielded us from the bullets.

As the chaos was just about to start, time suddenly froze. Everyone seemed to be frozen except Five and me. We peeked behind Luther, as Five looked around but I already saw the Handler standing behind Five. I tapped Five's shoulder and pointed at the Handler, He turned around and sighed.

"Neat trick isn't it?" she said as she took off her glasses.

"Hello Five, you look good all things considered" she said, looking at Five up and down.

"Congratulations on the age regression by the way, very clever threw us all off scent" Five scoffed.

"Well, wish I could take credit, I just miscalculated some things and well, here I am" Five said. The Handler explained to Five that his efforts are useless and that what's meant to be is meant to be "-That's our raison d'être" Handler said.

Five pulled out a gun and pointed it at her "Yeah? Well how about survival as a rason?" Five said.

"I'll just be replaced, I'm but a small cog in a machine-" I somehow tuned out what she was saying and turned to Five.

I can tell that he's desperate to save his family even though he doesn't show it that much most of the time. "Were all looking for Happy Five" I heard her say

"It wasn't your fault Alice.."

"BUT IT WAS!-"

"I could have saved him...-"

I try to shake those memories off. This was not the time to be remembering them again. I see Five shake the Handler's hand meaning they have a deal, as the shook hands we were teleported to their headquarters.
