"i don't know...yet" Five tells us as he carelessly throws his now empty coffee cup behind him "but i do know he's responsible for the apocalypse so we have to find him and we have to do it now"

"how is he connected to whats gonna happen?" Luther questions as i raise my hand up like i'm in class and jump up and down.

"ohh ohh, pick me, i know the answer" i say as i look at Five for approval to say it.

"fine, what do you think Layla" he sighs as i stop jumping and lower my hand in satisfaction.

"maybe he's like us and has powers and that's whats gonna cause the apocalypse" i tell them as i grin proudly at my answer.

"that...isn't as stupid as i thought it would be" Five complements....i think?

"wait, backup, so you just know his name? that's it?" Diego questions as he raises a good point, how are we gonna find him just from his name?

"that's enough"

"there's probably dozens of Harold Jenkinses in the city" Diego states.

"i think my neighbours name was Harold, don't know his last name but it might be Jenkins" I pipe up as everyone just waves my comment off, not thinking its helpful.

"we better start looking" Five tells us all as he look each and everyone of us in the eye.

When he looks at me, his face falters and he looks like he wants to say something but he shakes his head and looks forward.

"i'm sorry, am i the only one that's skeptical here? i mean how exactly do you know all of this about whats his name?" Allison argues as a shard pain comes from my chest as Five grimaces like he's in pain.

I squint at him as i know i haven't hurt my self recently, so it must of been him.

"Harold Jenkins. You know those lunatics in masks who attacked the house?" Five says as i decide to confront him about the pain after.

"oh yeah, i remember those guys" Klaus answers Fives question as Diego decides this is the perfect time to be an asshole

"yeah, the ones that attacked us while you two were getting drunk" Diego comments as i hit him in the chest with a heavy glare on my face "not the time"

"yeah them, they were sent by the temps commission to stop me from coming back and preventing the end of life on earth" Five explains as everyone looks at him confused.

"the temps what?"

"my former employer, they monitor all of time and space to make sure that whatever is supposed to happen...happens" He explains further as i start to get it "they believe the apocalypse is coming in three days, so i went to commission headquarters and intercepted a message that was meant for said lunatics 'protect Harold Jenkins' so he must be responsible for the apocalypse"

"not to sound like a bitch or anything, bu shouldn't we stop wasting time listening to you ramble about your little mission and instead go find Harold Jenkins?" I question as i look around at my siblings and find them zoning out.

"we need a plan first, he could be very dangerous" Five tells me as the others seem to snap out of there trance and bomb bard Five with questions.

"what do you mean, protect time and space?" "where is Hazel and Cha-Cha, Five?"

"my skin is on fire" Klaus whispers to himself in the corner and i look over at him in concern, noticing that he has been uncharacteristically quiet.

"hey whats wrong?" i mutter to him as he slightly shakes his head, seeming to be out of it.

"do you know how insane this sounds?" Allison questions as i'm brought back to the topic at hand.
