"Guys," Finch starts warily. "It's not that I don't trust you," he stops. "But I don't trust you and especially not with a blindfold over my eyes."

Race, Albert, and JoJo roll their eyes in unison.

"Relax, birdy." Race whispers, squeezing Finch's hand.

Finch rolls his eyes.

They were walking in silence for a few minutes, before something happened.

"Race!" Albert shouts. "Move!"

Albert and JoJo push Race and Finch out of the way.

They landed on the ground, Race falling on top of Finch and JoJo falling on top of Albert.

"...well that was stupid." Race mutters, pushing himself off of Finch.

Finch groans, laying his head on the ground. "I swear-" he mutters. "Why would I trust you if you can't take care of yourself, Racer?" Finch questions.

"I don't take care of myself because I don't care." Race reminds him. "I actually care about you." He states.

"Gee thanks." Finch responds, almost being sarcastic, standing up with Albert's help. "But you almost just killed me."

"He almost just killed himself as well." JoJo adds.

Race rolls his eyes. "Let's continue." He mumbles.

"You're not letting me take this thing off?" Finch questions, eyes wide, though they couldn't see it.

Race nods.

Albert smacks Race, but not too hard.

Race's mouth forms an 'o' shape. "Sorry, forgot you can't see me. I nodded." He informs Finch.

Finch rolls his eyes. "I guessed." He responds. "The silence was doing the talking for you."

Race rolls his eyes.

They continue walking for a bit.

The pit of dread in Finch's stomach only grew as they continued walking.

"Guys-" Finch starts, worried.

"Look out!" JoJo shouts, pushing the boys out of the way.

They all hit the ground again, Albert falling over Race and JoJo falling on Finch.

"Dear God..." Finch groans, turning over. "What are you guys doing? Trying to get us killed?" He questions.

"No." Race answers. "Not today."

Albert, JoJo, and Finch look at Race, eyes wide.

"I was joking." Race tells them, rolling his eyes.

Albert gets up, helping Race get up after him.

JoJo gets up and helps Finch get up.

"You haven't even told me what we're doing." Finch reminds his brothers, getting annoyed, worried, and stressed.

"It'll be good when we get there." JoJo assures him, patting his shoulder.

"I'm sure it will be," Finch starts, sarcastically because he didn't believe them much anymore.

"But?" Race asks, an eyebrow raised and his arms crossed.

"But, you've almost gotten us killed twice in thirty minutes for this surprise." Finch reminds him. "That's more than Snyder tried to kill me in my time in the Refuge."

Race freezes up for a moment, before shaking himself out of it.

"We'll be fine." Albert assures him. "If something happens, we'll head home." He tells Finch.

"If something happens..." Finch mutters, rolling his eyes. "Dear God, I should never trust you with my life ever again."

Albert rolls his eyes.

They continue walking.

Finch was about to speak up again about the growing pit of dread in his stomach, when he was shoved to the ground again.

Finch grunts when he hits the ground, yet again.

"Do I even want to ask what happened this time?" Finch questions, laying under Albert this time.

JoJo chuckles weakly. "I bet you can guess." He responds quietly.

Finch rolls his eyes, sitting up.

He pulls the blindfold off of his head. "I don't trust you three anymore." He states.

Race chuckles softly. "Eh- I don't blame you." He responds softly.

Finch rolls his eyes, standing up and helping Albert up.

"What were we even doing?" Finch asks them.

The three boys share a look.

"There was a thing happening at Jacobi's." JoJo explains. "I don't want to go anymore. I just want to go home." He states.

Finch facepalms. "Jacobi's is not that far away!" He exclaims, eyes wide. "We almost died- three times!"

Albert purses his lips. "At least it was fun." He shrugs.

Finch facepalms again. How much of an idiot are these three boys?

"I'm leaving." Finch turns to walk away.

"We'll follow." Race tells him, the three boys following him.

Finch rolls his eyes. "If I almost get run over by a carriage again..." he mutters.

He was pushed down again.

"Did we really?" Finch questions, very much done with life to the point where this didn't faze him anymore.

"Yeah." JoJo answers, pointing to Albert who was flipping off the driver who almost ran them over on purpose.

Finch lays his head on the hard and rocky street/ground.

"I'm so done with you three..." he mutters.

Race and JoJo grin at him. "Love you too!" They exclaim in unison.

"Next time watch so that you don't almost run over or run over kids!" Finch heard Albert shout after the driver, sounding angry.

Finch groans. I'm not going to survive if I stay with these boys any longer. He thinks to himself.

"I think we killed Finch." He heard JoJo quietly state.

"Stupid driver." He heard Albert mumble, turning back around to face them.

"Just let me disintegrate in peace." Finch grumbles, trying to bang his head on the ground.

"Dis-what?" JoJo asks, sounding confused.

Finch groans again.
