I looked at Diego in the eye. "He's drunk, Diego. We can ask him later." I said. "You take him too soft." Diego spat at me. I looked down, feeling my heart aching yet again. Tears stained my eyes.
Five, seeing that I was close to crying, brought both his hands up to my eyes and pressed on them, wipping the tears that were close to falling. I looked at him. He gave me a wide smile back.
Maybe he wasn't the worst after all.

We all arrived at the Diego's so called home. Turns out it was just a basement.
Five had fell asleep mid walking. And it was very adorable.
I laid him on the uncomfortable looking bed and smiled down at him. Diego and Luther joined me on watching the cute boy. "Funny. If I didn't know he was such a prick, I'd say he looks almost adorable in his sleep."
I chuckled at Diego's comment. "Well, don't worry. He'll sober up eventually." Luther said. "Be back to his normal, unpleasant self." I joked back. "Yeah, I can't wait that long."
"I need to find out what their connection is with these lunatics" Diego said while walking away. By "lunatics" he definitely meant Hazel and Cha-Cha. "before someone else dies." Diego added.
"All that stuff he was saying before... What do you think he meant by-" Before Luther could continue, Diego held up his finger, telling him to shut up.
I heard someone softly knocking on the door. Diego edged to the door moment by moment before quickly opening the door.
Turns out it wasn't a murderer coming to kill us, it was just an old man. "You throw another one of those goddamn knives at me, I'm pressin' charge!" He spat. Judging by Diego's annoyed look, I guessed that he knew the old man.
I sighed and sat down on the bed beside Five, who was now also softly snoring. "What do you want, Al?" Diego asked annoyingly. Apparently his name was Al. "I ain't your secretary." Al said. "Yeah." Diego sighed before walking down the small steps. "Some lady called for you, said she needs your help."
At those words, I wondered if Diego had a girlfriend. If he did, I would be happy for me. At least someone in this house isn't lovesick.
"What lady?" Diego asked. "I dunno. Some, uh, detective. I think she said her name was, uh, Blotch or somethin'." He said. This got Diego's attention. "Patch?" Diego asked, earning a shrug from Al. "She needs my help" Diego said quickly before running up the stairs again.
"She needs you to meet her at that motel, a dump on Calhoun." Al said before passing a note to Diego, which I guessed he had written the notes. "When?" Diego asked, examining the note.
"About half an hour ago. Uh, said she found your brother."
We all exchanged looks. We had already found Five, he was now sound asleep behind me. "Well, that didn't make sense." Diego said. "Klaus" I breathed out, realizing. He nodded. "Go. I'll wait here with... him." Luther sighed.
