Prologue
It was extremely cold. It was so cold I could actually see my breath. As I wrapped my arms around myself in an attempt to keep myself warm, I kept thinking of the events that took place just today. My red, waved hair moved as the wind came in through the metal bars of the cell. Yes, I was trapped. No where to run...or hide. I let out a few breaths and began to cry. Many tears dripped down my rosy cheeks.
Why would I, Numbuh 86-the toughest girl in the Kids Next Door-be crying? I was stronger than that, but not today. For my heart was broken.
I carefully placed my hand around the bars of the jail. I was weak and defenseless. I could barely move.
I cried even more, "Let me out!"
But no one could hear my cries. I fell backward on the ground as the thunder roared and the winds howled. The rain poured as I heard foot steps come near me.
"What did you do with him? !" I screamed, with my eyes all red and puffed.
The shadow didn't answer. I began to lift myself up slowly.
"What did you do with him? !" I shouted harder.
No answer. Eventually, the shadow disappeared from my sight. I cried even harder and cradled myself. I was alone.
To think this all started, the adventure and it all, around a few days ago...
