Thunder was rumbling and it was raining as Aaron was asleep on the backseat while Hope was sitting next to Allison who was driving down the road.

Then the engine started making more noise causing Hope to furrowed her brows as she noticed that the car was speeding up.

"Allison" Hope said but she didn't listen "Allison. Allison. Slowly down, you are gonna get us killed" Hope said and Allison took her foot off the gas before she started breathing heavily.

"Are you okay?" Hope asked "Yeah, I'm fine" Allison replied but Hope could see she was not fine.

Allison stopped the car when they came to a cabin out in the woods.

She stopped the car before she grabbed the file to look at the address "Is this it?" Hope asked and Allison nodded "You two stay here" she said before she opened the door and walked up the cabin.

Allison then walked up to the to the cabin that was laying on a small hill, she peeked up into the porch to make sure no one were there. 

She peeked through a window to see if she could see if anyone was inside but she couldn't see anything. 

But as she turned around she let out a gasp when a bird flew past her.

Five slowly opened his eyes before his eyes moved around, to see where he was and he could recognize that he was back in his room.

"Hope, Aaron" he said as he sat up before he looked around the room, trying to spot them but then he saw a note laying on the night table.

He picked it up before reading it 

Me and Aaron went with aunt Allison and uncle D to find aunt Vanya, we will be fine. You just rest and gather strength. See you later

"Wakey, wakey. Eggs and bakey!" Klaus called out while he was ringing a bell.

Luther was sitting by the table, he had a hood over his head and he looked embarrassed. He was sitting with huge hangover as Klaus was pouring coffee up the in the mugs while having a big smile on his faces.

"Here we go" Klaus said as he poured Luther some coffee in a mug "This'll fix you up, Luther" he said before he poured up another cup with coffee.

Luther sighed before he grabbed the cup and was about to take a sip when Five took the cup out of his hand and sat down before taking a sip.

"Nice okay" Klaus said as Five's reaction on the taste of the coffee was in pure disgust "Jesus. Who do I gotta kill to get a decent cup of coffee?" Five asked as he put down the mug.

"Can we get started?" Luther asked in a voice like he wasn't in a mood for a meeting at all.

"Anyone seen any of the others? Diego? Allison? No?" Klaus asked while looking around the kitchen "Where is my beautiful niece and cute little nephew?" Klaus asked as he looked around "They are with Allison and Diego" Five answered "So you let them out of your sight" Klaus said "I can't keep watching over them 24/7, I also have to take care of myself once in a while and they are safe with Diego and Allison, I trust them with my kids" Five said "Why don't you trust me with them?" Klaus asked "'Cause you are always high and drunk and you steal and also because you are you" Five replied "Fair" Klaus said with a nod.

"All right, then, this is the closest thing to a quorum...that we're gonna get" he said and tapped on the table causing Luther to groan "Now, listening up. There's no easy way to say this, so I'm just gonna spit it out" Klaus said.

"This is a bad idea" Ben said "Yeah" Klaus said.

The two looked at him waiting for him to continued but he just stood their staring into nothing, without saying anything.

"Klaus" Luther said "I conjured Dad last night" Klaus said making Luther and Five to look confused at him.

They knew that Klaus couldn't conjured anyone because he have been so high and he had been high for years and now suddenly out of nowhere he told him that he conjured their dad, therefore they look at him like they didn't want to believe it.

Klaus looked at Luther before he looked at Five and they look both confused.

"You said you haven't been able to conjure anyone in years" Luther said "Ah, yes, I know, but I'm sober. Ta-da! I got clean, yesterday, to talk to someone special, and then ended up having up having this...conversation with dead old Daddy himself" Klaus said.

They didn't really believe him. He had being drunk and high since they were fifteen.

"Has anyone got some aspirin?" Luther asked "On the shelf, next to the crackers" Five answered "Hey, hey, hey. This is serious, guys, all right? This really happened, I swear" Klaus said "Okay, fine. I'll play" Five said before he learned forwards "What did the old man have to say?" he asked with a smile.

"Well, he gave me the usual lecture about my appearance and my failures in life. Yada yada yada. No surprise there. Even the afterlife couldn't soften a hardass like Dad, right? But he did mention something about his murder, or lack thereof, because..." Klaus said and the two looked at him.

"Wait for it" Ben said as he raised his finger "...He killed himself" he finished before he looked down while Luther just stared at him in disbelief.

"I don't have time for your games, Klaus" he said before getting up "I'm telling you the truth, Luther. I'm telling you the truth" Klaus said.

"Why'd he do it, then?" Five asked "He said it was the only way to get us all home again" Klaus said "No. Dad wouldn't just kill himself" Luther said "Ah, you said it yourself. He was depressed. Holed up in his office and room all day and night" Five said "No. There weren't any signs. Suicidal people exhibit certain tendencies, strange behaviors" Luther said "Like sending someone to the Moon for no reason?" Klaus asked "I swear to God, Klaus, if you're lying..." "I'm not. I'm not" Klaus said cutting Luther off.

"Master Klaus is correct" a voice said and the three turned to see Pogo entering the kitchen.

"Regretfully..." Pogo said before he let out a sigh "I helped Master Hargreeves enact his plan" he said "What?" Luther asked.

"So did Grace. I was a difficult choice for both of us. More difficult than you could ever know" he said before taking a step closer to them "Prior to your father's death, Grace's programming was adjusted so that she was incapable of administering first aid on that fateful night" Pogo said "Sick bastard" Five muttered.
