"Now, fellow Kids Next Door," Numbuh 362 boomed loudly to everyone in the stadium. "I give you, Raven Feu-Noir, our newest operative Numbuh 17!" I then herd everyone cheer. It made me feel pretty good inside. I couldn't help but smile. Then Numbuh 362 made everyone go quiet.
"And now for the final part of the ceremony, we will see what sector you will be stationed in from now on, until you have to leave the KND." these two other kids pushed this big wheel with all the sectors written on it.
"This is something new that I thought we should try. This wheel has every sector in the KND at random. Which sector the arrow at the top stops on, will be the sector that our new operative will be assigned." Numbuh 362 turned to me.
"Numbuh 17, would you like to do the honors?" and she motioned to the wheel.
"Sure." I sheepishly replied with a big smile. I moved to the wheel and gave it a good spin. It seemed to spin around a million times. It then slowly started to stop, the arrow passed by Sectors A, O, W, and Q. Till finally it landed on Sector V. Numbuh 362 looked at the wheel and I saw some-what of an irritated look on her face, but she forced on a smile.
"Numbuh 17 is hereby placed in…" she let out a small annoyed sigh. "Sector V." I then saw someone in the stands jump up and start to cheer. It was hard to see who it was, but he was wearing a blue button-up shirt and light brown pants. He also had on a pilot cap and goggles on. Someone sitting next to him made him sit back down. I let out a small giggle.
"You are now all dismissed." Numbuh 362 said, and everyone started to spill out of the stadium. She then turned to me and smiled.
"Good luck." her smile then vanished, "You're gonna need it."
"Uh, thanks." I replied. "Where do I go now?" I asked, completely clueless. She looked passed me for a moment.
"Looks like your new teammates are coming to take you back to your new base." I turned around and saw five kids walking toward me. The one in front was bald and was sporting sunglasses, a red shirt, tan shorts, and really big shoes. Next to him was the boy who was cheering for me in the stands. There was a young girl with long black hair and an even longer green shirt. Behind her was a short blonde haired boy with an orange hoodie and blue jeans. And following the pack was another young girl with a red hat with her black hair tied in a braid, and wearing a long blue shirt with white stripes on the shoulders and on the side.
"Glad to have you on the team, Numbuh 17. I'm Numbuh 1, and I am the leader of Sector V." he reached out his hand and I shook it.
"Nice to meet you." I replied. The girl with the red hat then came up to me.
"Hey girl, I'm Numbuh 5. Cool to have ya on bored." She looks pretty chill and cool.
"Hiii, I'm Numbuh 3." She seemed like the very energetic type. The blond boy then spoke up.
"'Sup, I'm Numbuh 4." He didn't seem much of a people person. The boy in the blue shirt just looked at me. He was blushing a little bit and had a goofy smile on his face.
"Um…h-hi, I'm Nu-nu-num…" it was like he was stuck. He couldn't stop stammering. Numbuh 5 then lightly elbowed him in the side. He snapped out of it.
"I'm Numbuh 2. Nice to meet you." I smiled and laughed a little. Numbuh 2 started to blush harder.
"It's great to meet all of you. I really hope we will become fast friends."
"Well, now that we have all exchanged pleasantries, let's head back to base team." We then all followed Numbuh 1 out of the stadium.
The base was huge. Bigger than any tree house I had ever seen or have ever been in. I was just in awe for a while, until Numbuh 1 started talking and brought me back to reality.
"Alright team, it's late so we have to get a good night's rest." Numbuh 1 then looked at me. "Numbuh 17, we will show you around in the morning." I nodded. "You are all now dismissed." Everyone dispersed to their rooms while Numbuh 1 told me where my room was located. I went down the hall and entered the empty spare room. I was right across the hall from Numbuh 2's room.
All that was inside was a bed, a rug in the middle of the room, a closet and an empty bookshelf and desk. I tossed my bag onto the bed and a big puff of dust drifted in the air and filled my lungs, causing me to cough uncontrollably. I then opened my window and fanned the dust out of the room. I was able to breathe again.
I dug through my bag until I found my phone. I quickly dialed in the number. It rang a while before they answered.
"Hi, it's me. Let me talk to him." there was a slight pause. I then heard his eerie voice.
"So, young Raven. I trust you entered in successfully?" he asked.
"Yes sir, they don't suspect anything." I answered, trying to keep my voice as low as possible.
"Good. Now remember, we can't afford any screw ups. Remember your objective."
"Yes I will. Everything will go according to plan. Father." I then hung up.
