Rachel McKenzie was scared. It was one of the few times in her fifteen-year life that she was feeling that.

She felt her bruised arm hurting. A tear ran from her eye, not because of the pain, but because of what was happening to her. Why her? Why did she always had to be the one who suffers?

"I love him! And he loves me too!"

"Really? I'm sure that he'll abandon you the next moment he'll learn about your secret!"

Rachel rubbed her eyes. She wanted to clear all these thoughts from her mind…they seemed to happen a long time ago, but they actually happened an hour ago…

She was hiding in an old abandoned house a few blocks away from her house. It was dirty, it was dark, but it was a hideout. Her eyes stared out of the window next to her, looking at the moon. The Kids Next Door would making plans now on the Moonbase…

She wished she was a kid again. If she was a kid, she could go to the Moonbase to hide…or maybe nothing would happen if she was ten years old…

She hugged her legs and put her head on them. How long was she there? Twenty? Fifteen minutes?

Rachel never got decommissioned. Although, all the documents of the KND were saying that Rachel McKenzie, ex-Supreme Leader, got successfully decommissioned.

She would get decommissioned, but someone made her change her mind. He had helped her to cover her decommission, he had told her not to throw all these memories into a rubbish bin, he had loved her like no one had loved her before.

Rachel closed her eyes. Everything that happened was his fault. If she had got decommissioned like a loyal KND operative and Supreme Leader, she would have a normal life. She would forget him.

She would forget him.

Him.

Chad.

His name made her shiver. In a good way.

Drops of rain started falling out of the window. The wooden floor was cold now. The roof was a bit destroyed too, so some drops started falling on the floor in front of her and around her. A few fell on her leg.

She slowly stood up and touched her back on the wall. Her eyes closed, but she immediately opened them. She needed to sleep, god, she was really exhausted, tired of everything. She forced her mind to think of what had happened.

Herself sobbing

"Rachel, you say that you don't know how that happened, don't you?"

Rachel didn't answer. Her eyes were hurting a lot. And that was because she actually had cried a lot.

"Mom…I'm telling you…I-"started Rachel but her voice cracked at the end. She wasn't herself. Numbuh 362 Rachel would be strong, would know what to say, what to do. But that Rachel, the one that was crying couldn't do anything of that.

"It's all that brat's fault, isn't it?" she heard his dad's voice. Angry. Shocked.

Rachel didn't say anything just continued sobbing. He wasn't right at all. But he had a point.

"I'm going-I'm going to kill him!" her dad said and he stood up and walked out of Rachel's room.

She slowly looked at her mom. She seemed confused, shocked, but not angry. Rachel could see all these feelings on her face. And then, apparently, Numbuh 362 woke up inside her.

She stood up and walked out of her room. "You are not going to do anything to him!" she shouted at her dad. He turned and looked at her.

"Now you're supporting him, aren't you?" her dad said and looked at her.

Rachel didn't stop there. "I love him! And he loves me too!"

"Really? I'm sure that he'll abandon you the next moment he'll learn about your secret!" he told her angrily.

She refused to remember the rest. She had a fight with her dad. He hit her, the first time he ever hit her. Then she left away.

She took her cellphone from her pocket. She saw her parents' countless phone calls.

She had to call Chad to come and take her from there.

And her baby in her belly.
