"What did you want me to look at Numbuh 362?" Numbuh 86 asked as they reached Spy sector level 7.
"The information I got from the teens is . . . odd," Numbuh 362 started, bringing up the info. "They look like dates, but most of them have already happened . . . I looked through our records and found no significant teen actions on the more recent of those dates. I thought that you should take a look at them and see if they were significant decommissioning dates."
"Why would decommissioning be your second thought?" Numbuh 86 asked.
"Look at that one," Numbuh 362 said pointing to one of the last ones on the screen. "I know that's the date Numbuh 001 was set to be decommissioning. And some of these dates go back to near the dawn of the seventh age of the KND! . . . Can you make anything of that coding at the bottom?"
"It's a bunch of dots and dashes . . . How am I supposed to make anything out of that?" Numbuh 86 stated. "It could be Morse code, but I'm not sure and I don't know it that well . . . let me take a closer look at those dates."
Numbuh 86 took the seat and stated to look through the twenty-three dates. A very specific number. The number of operatives that were presumed dead or died while active members. Very minimal losses compared to the amount of operatives the KND has had since the dawn of the seventh age of the Kids Next Door(When they first have records of operatives), and only two died on mission. But it is a cost that the KND had to pay to protect the kids of the world. Apparently, Numbuh 86 recognized some of these dates and decided to call the big boss.
"Numbuh 274, sir," Numbuh 86 said into a communicator. "We could use your assistance in Spy Sector level 7."
~"I'm on my way," Numbuh 274 said through his own communicator.
"What did you call the Supreme Leader for, Fanny?" Numbuh 362 asked.
"A, he knows Morse code. B, if this is what I think it is, then he needs to see this," Numbuh 86 said seriously.
"What's up, Numbuh 86?" Numbuh 274 said as he entered the room.
"We need you to take a look at this information Numbuh 362 got from the teens, sir," Numbuh 86 said.
"What are the teens doing with the twenty-three decommissioning dates?" Numbuh 274 muttered as he stared at the last one on the list, his younger sister's, and then at the coding at the bottom. "Have scrap paper and a pen?"
"Here, what do you need it for?" Numbuh 362 asked.
"This is a long message at the bottom here," Numbuh 274 said. "I want to make sure I translate it right."
On the screen it had at the bottom

And Numbuh 274 wrote
There are kids growing in secret. Soon they will be teens. Could turn to our side.
"Well, the teens are grasping at straws to try and bring us down," Numbuh 274 said.
"What do you mean, sir?" Numbuh 362 asked.
"What does the message say, sir?" Numbuh 86 questioned at the same time.
He showed them the paper and they both stared at him with questioning glances as they read it.
"I'm sorry, sir. I don't understand. There's nothing new with teens recruiting kids to be on their side," Numbuh 362 said.
"They're not trying to get just any kids," Numbuh 86 said sadly.
"They're trying to find our presumed deceased operatives," Numbuh 274 said sounding sadder. "To turn them against us . . . Come on let's take this to my office. It's more secure and I've got some calls to make."
"Rachel, does this mean what I think it means?" Numbuh 86 asked.
"Yep, looks like we're reopening all the cold cases of our missing members," Numbuh 362 sighed. "This is going to open some old wounds."

Connection -~`'-`~ rerouting
Several years ago before Chad joined the KND . . .
"Sis, what's wrong?" Chad asked his older (by a year and two months exactly) sister, who was crying in her KND Spy Sector Leader uniform. Luna never cried when she knew there was anyone else around.
"Oh, Chad," Luna said shocked as she dried her tears. "Just some KND stuff, you don't need to worry about it."
"I think we do have to worry about it," Anna, their three year old sister, said. "If it makes you this upset, then it's our problem too."
"Anna, are you sure you're three? You act like you're at least five," Luna said trying to get them off topic.
"That would be why I'm in kindergarten with Chad. Hey, don't get off topic!" Anna said catching her sister. "Now, what were you crying about?"
"There's no getting out of this, is there?" Luna asked and both her younger siblings shook their heads. "It's just . . . most of the kids I lead are older than me and . . . it's frustrating . . . how they treat me . . . And then . . . if feels like the organization as a whole sees me as my rank, but my own sector sees me as a cadet! And I've been a full-fledged member of the Spy Sector for over a five months, and just became Leader of it like a month ago when our previous leader got decommissioned. And . . . and . . . it's so hard always having to fight for my position."
"You know we have your back, Lu," Chad said. "That's what siblings are for."
"Yeah, but it would be easier to have your back if you'd let us join the KND," Anna said bringing up the topic again.
"I've told you no!" Luna said seriously. "You see what being so young and skilled gets you in this organization . . . and you both are younger than I was when I started!"
"If we work together, we can do anything," Chad said.
"You taught us that, and the basics on how to protect ourselves," Anna said. "Now, let us get the better tools to help others. Like you help others."
"I can't believe I'm even considering this," Luna muttered shaking her head. "You both will have to prove yourselves to other operatives. Show them that there's more to you than your age, like I know there is. It take a lot for high ranking operatives to notice young kids as more than just kids . . . I should know. I was the youngest in my class."
"Wait, you're serious?!" Chad said as he and Anna stared at their older sister in shock.
"I am . . . but you have to know how dangerous this is . . . every time," Luna was cut off.
"If you risk it, so will we . . . besides you've been training us since we could walk," Anna said and Luna blushed at her own overprotectiveness. "How many times do we have to play the siblings card in one day?"
"KIDS! DINNER TIME!" their mother called.
"COMING MOM!" the two giddy younger siblings called as they raced around the steps.
"Look out Kids Next Door . . . Here come my siblings," Luna said as she made her way after her siblings. "Why do I already regret this?"

How was that? PLEASE READ: I know that Anna, Chad, and even Luna are extremely young to be in the KND, but it's their calling. Anna is really smart and mature for her age. Luna was holding her siblings back from doing KND worthy things because she knew they could get in. Luna is one of the most advanced operatives of her class. I will explain more of my reasoning's for making them so young in later chapters.
