Sector V were awoken early by their transmitter alarm ringing. Congregating in front of the transmitter the five kids stared at the screen with blank, tired eyes.

"Sector V! We need you here immediately!" Rachel stated. "Numbuh 60's disappeared, we're guessing that he's gone to rescue Numbuh 86."

"We'll be right there." Nigel nodded.

The screen ended transmission and sector V began to prepare to leave.

"That's so sweet!" Kuki sighed. "Numbuh 60's gone to save Numbuh 86. That's sooo romantic!"

"It's stupid!" Wally scoffed as they walked onto the C.O.O.L.B.U.S. Kuki stuck her tongue out at him with an indignant look.

Patton shivered in the cold rain, it was still pretty dark. But he was determined not to give up. He finally reached the Delightful's gates. Quickly and swiftly, he climbed up and over with ease, they were nothing compared to some of the training sessions he'd been through.

Quietly, he ran to a side window that was slightly open. It would be a tough job but he reckoned that he could squeeze through it.

It was dark and wet in the cell that Fanny had been put in. She'd put up a good fight for three quarters of the night, screaming and shouting abuse at the Delightfuls and Father. However she'd grown tired, and after Father gave her a warning singe on her wrist she thought that it would be better to pipe down.
After failing to get to sleep she'd resorted to drawing doodles on the floor and wall with a stone.

Ever been alone in your house when you hear a simple noise, you feel strong sense of paranoia and are on edge until somebody you know comes home? This was ten times worse.
A faint sound of footsteps made Fanny jump. She put down the rock and backed away into the corner, hugging her knees tightly. It wasn't usual for Fanny to be so scared, even when she was she could mask it with a brave face and tough talking. But this was different. She was out of her comfort zone and had no-one to back her up if something went wrong.

A shadow appeared through the barred windows of the wooden door and Fanny tightened her grip on her knees and stared at the shadow. The sound of a key in the door increased her heart beat, she bit her lip.

"Hi." A tall, brunette boy smiled shyly as he stepped in. The delightful then sat down next to her and placed a plate in front of her.

"I thought you might be hungry." He told her.

Fanny was a little hesitant but then decided to pick up the toasted bagel and eat it. He watched her as she did.

"Thank you." Fanny said timidly when she'd finished.

The boy smiled."Just don't tell the other delightfuls."

Fanny smiled back.

"That burn looks pretty bad, you want some ice on it?" He asked.

She shook her head.

"Sure?"

Fanny nodded her head. "Why are you being nice to me David?"

"Hey, just because our dad makes us evil doesn't mean we're all that bad." David replied.

Fanny smiled.

"David! Where are you!" The other four Delightfuls called.

David stood up and picked up the plate, giving Fanny a kind glance and walking out. He closed the door behind him and the key turned in the lock. His head then appeared in the bars.
"Please don't tell them I was here!"

"I won't." Fanny shook her head.

She sat with her back against the wall trying to figure out what just happened.
Was that some kind of trick?
Was there something in the bagel he gave her?
She couldn't decide.

He'd finally got through the window, just in time as he managed to run into the shadows as the Delightfuls walked by.

"David, where are you!" They shouted.

"I'm COMING!" David screeched back. He soon arrived and joined back to his brothers and sisters in the creepy way that they do it. Patton shuddered. Once they walked out of sight he ran in the opposite direction. Taking random turns whenever he thought possible. He opened a door and peered inside.

"What?" He whispered.
In front of him, he saw a huge, wooden chair. It had metal bars on the arms and legs to hold the wrists and ankles down. Above the chair was a large dome, connected to a mass of wires, which trailed back to a big machine. Patton couldn't read the machine as a hard thump on the head made him black out.

Fanny had just managed to doze off when she was woken by the key in the wooden door.
The door opened and an unconscious body was thrown into the cell.

"Numbuh 60!" Fanny gasped.

"We're guessing he was looking for you...we thought we'd give him a hand." The Delightfuls cackled. Slamming the door shut and locking it.

Fanny pulled Patton's body to the edge of the wall and looked down at him.
He flinched and groaned. His eyes squeezed tight and his hand lifted up to touch the back of his head.
Patton opened one eye, then opened the other as he focused on Fanny.

"Numbuh 86? Is that really you?" He groaned. "You're just a blur."

Fanny beamed and wrapped her arms around his neck. She wanted some sort of friendly contact after feeling so alone and scared.
He gave a nervous chuckle and sat up slowly.

"Where are we?" He asked, still in a daze.

Fanny sat back. "The Delightful's cells."

"The Delightful's have cells?" Patton chocked. "What don't they have in their mansion?...I saw some sort of electric chair in one of the rooms."

Fanny listened intently. "Electric chair?"

He nodded.
Fanny shrugged. "I wonder what it's for."
