Chapter 1-3 - The Reveal

"I can't believe he's not here." Numbuh 4 said. "We're here doing cruddy side jobs while he's probably battling aliens with an awesome laser weapon or somethin'."

"What can we do? It's not like Numbuh 1 is coming down here anytime soon." Numbuh 5 reluctantly said.

"We need to go on a mission! For old times sake!"

"And I know just how to fix that!" Sector V turned around and saw Numbuh 362 standing in the doorway. "Ready for a mission?"

"Numbuh 362! How long have you been standing there?" Numbuh 5 hurriedly said, stopping herself before she sounded suspicious

"Enough to know to hear you guys need a mission and I have the perfect one for you! We're getting reports of kids being attacked and ending up with braces. I need you to find out who's doing and stop it. Here's the mission file. By the way, where is Numbuh 1?" 362 asked curiously.

"Umm…well…he's back at the Treehouse." Numbuh 4 muttered.

"Do you think he's busy? I haven't seen him in a while and I just want to go over and say hi. Is that ok?"

"Sorry 362, he's probably very busy with some stuff." Numbuh 5 replied sheepishly.

"Oh…alright then." There was obvious disappointment in her voice. "Well after the mission can you tell him I want to see him?"

Numbuh 5 sighed to herself. "I can't promise you anything Numbuh 362."

"Alright…good luck with the mission guys." Numbuh 362 slowly walked off leaving Sector V alone again.

After they were sure she was gone Numbuh 5 spoke. "We need to tell her!"

"Are you crazy? What do you think those Galactic KND guys might do to us if they find out we told her?" Numbuh 2 hissed back.

"Well we can't just sit here and not do anything!" Numbuh 4 said in frustration.

"Follow me guys."

"Where are we going Numbuh 5?"

"We're going to talk to 74.239."

Sector V's entrance startled the KND scientists in the lab with some of them ending up dropping their test tubes and other equipment.

"Numbuh 2 you're back! And what are you teammates doing here?" 74.239 pointed at them.

"We need to tell Numbuh 362 about Numbuh 1." 5 said bluntly.

"Absolutely not! I told you why we can't! The less people that know the better!"

"Well we're going! And if you even think of stopping us then see what you'll get."

As they turned back to head to 362's office a green substance was materializing in their path. Booger pieces formed into a shape of a person and after a small flash of light it cleared, showing Numbuh Infinity.

"I don't think that's such a good idea Numbuh 5."

"She needs to know this." Numbuh 2 stepped closer to Infinity.

"I don't think so." Numbuh Infinity placed his hand on Numbuh 2 and sent him flying across the room.

"What the crud was that for?" Numbuh 4 charged at Infinity but again, he only raised a hand to touch Numbuh 4 and sent him flying back.

"Numbuh 4!" 3 ran toward her fallen teammates.

"Hey! What do you think you're doing?" Numbuh 5 shouted.

"I told you that this needs to remain between us only. We can't have anyone knowing about this." Numbuh Infinity remained unfazed by Sector V's reaction.

"She's the leader of the Kids Next Door! She has a right to know!" Numbuh 5 went up to Infinity.

"I've already hurt two of your teammates. Don't make me hurt you." Infinity's tone remained neutral and in a way it was unnerving. "74.239, keep an eye on 2,3 and 4. Make sure they don't try anything."

"Just what do you think is happening here?" Numbuh 5 was still trying to grasp the situation. They only met briefly before and she was unaware of Infinity's abilities.

"Listen to me Numbuh 5. If any one of these kids outside the Galactic Kids Next Door were to hear about this. We won't know for sure if they'll go off bragging about it while some unsuspecting adult hears this information!"

"You know 362 would never do anything like that!" 5 countered.

"That's a risk I'm not willing to take. I already took a risk in letting you four know without being decommissioned. But if I have to decommission you to keep the integrity of this organization I will not hesitate to do so. Now, if you're clear I want you to take your teammates, go back to your treehouse and pretend this never happened."

"If you think I'm going to do that then you've got another thing coming."

"Are you threatening me Numbuh 5?" Infinity raised an eyebrow at 5's bold move.

Numbuh 5 quickly pulled out a Sqoosher and aimed at Numbuh Infinity.

"I am going to tell Numbuh 362 about Numbuh 1 and you are not going to stop me." She was determined to get to 362 at all costs.

"You have no idea what this whole thing entails don't you? Numbuh 1 is up there battling adults that we don't even know! They may be able to turn candy into broccoli! Or shoot some kind of age advancing beam turning them into teenagers. None of us knows what's up there, the possible dangers are endless! Which is why we are not ready to tell the rest of the Kids Next Door about this. We are simply not prepared.

"The best of the best are in the GKND so you can expect them to know what they're doing. They didn't need their friends going off telling their leaders about a secret organization. They trust them. Show some trust Numbuh 5.

"I don't expect you to know or to even understand. But I expect you to be aware that the goals of the Galactic KND are no more different that the KND. Just on a bigger scale. If you can't see that then…" Numbuh Infinity shook his head disappointedly."

The double doors behind Infinity opened unexpectedly as Numbuh 362 stood in the doorway.

"What's going on here?" It was a puzzling sight for 362 to see one operative aiming a weapon at another, while 2 other operatives laid down in the other side of the room.

"Numbuh 5 what is going on here?" 362 confronted.

"This isn't what it looks like! There's something you need to know!"

"Yes there is," again, Numbuh Infinity spoke with a degree of calmness, "Abigail here is holding this lab hostage and was about to incapacitate me."

"I find that very hard to believe Numbuh Infinity. And we don't usually see you around the Moon Base. Numbuh 5 has been a spectacular operative through and through and right now I'm more inclined to believe her more than you."

Numbuh 5 made a split second decision and fired at Infinity scoring a direct hit and sticking him immobile on the wall.

"Numbuh 5 you just fired on a KND diplomat! I could have you arrested right now on grounds of treason." Infinity was showing obvious displeasure toward her and the situation.

"So what's going on here Numbuh 5?"

"We need to tell you about Numbuh 1."

Numbuh 2,3 and 4 went to 5 as they prepared to tell 362 the truth.

"Don't do this Numbuh 5." Infinity warned her.

"She needs to know."

"Know what Numbuh 5? Tell me!"

"Numbuh 1 isn't with us anymore." Numbuh 2 said.

"What do you mean? Did he switch sectors? I can bring him back if you want."

"No it's not that." Numbuh 5 took a deep breath before continuing, "he's in a special organization called the Galactic Kids Next Door. He was recruited to be the Earth representative for the GKND. Infinity and 74.239 are part of it but they can't tell anyone."

"We only know because we caught Numbuh 1 before he left." 3 said in a sad tone.

"And you didn't think you needed to tell me this kind of information?" 362 started to get upset and then quickly became angry. "I can't believe this! You!" she pointed to Infinity. "Why didn't you tell me about this?"

"It was protocol. We were supposed to get as few people to know as possible." Infinity's responded lamely.

"I don't even know what's going on in my own organization! I'm supposed to be the Supreme Leader! This is so pathetic!"

362 couldn't help the tears. She felt a mixture of emotions at once. Incompetence, sadness, betrayal, regret. The scientists in the room shifted awkwardly not knowing what to do. Sector V gave Infinity an angry stare and he could only avoid their gaze.

Infinity saw 362's reaction and felt guilty for hiding this information from her. He, among the other operatives who knew the GKND, had known for some time about 362's on and off crush with Numbuh 1 and tried to avoid emotional contact during the testing phase of Numbuh 1 before his eventual recruitment. They were supposed to sever emotional ties to make sure he would be in top form when he left. But he knew it would mean 362 would miss her last chance to say goodbye to Numbuh 1.

"I'm sorry sir. It was out of my control. I am obligated under GKND to follow their orders to the book. But there is no protocol on what happens if an operative on the outside would know. So I guess if you have any questions you can ask them now."

362 didn't hesitate to ask her first question, "Will I ever see Numbuh 1 again?"

Infinity winced at the question. He knew it would be the first question and he didn't want to answer it. But reluctantly he did. "I'm sorry 362. But no one would see him again. And we cannot contact him as to keep the GKND a secret." Infinity shook his head. "When he turns 13 he will be decommissioned and sent back to Earth. But that's the best I can give you."

362 knew it meant she would never see Numbuh 1 again and the thought deeply upset her.

"We wanted to tell you Rachel. We really did. But we didn't know what the GKND or Numbuh Infinity could do. We're sorry for not telling you sooner." Numbuh 5 hugged 362 tightly, just staying there as she started to let the news settle in her mind.

"Look what you did now you cruddy jerk! You shoulda' trusted her more!"

"Yeah! You're a meanie! No one should ever keep secrets from each other…Look what happened now."

"Guys, there's no point in getting angry over it. I guess it makes sense in a way." Numbuh 362 interrupted. She was still sniffing from crying but managed to regain some composure. She went to Infinity, who was still stuck to the wall.

"I understand you were acting out on orders and were trying to protect me and the Kids Next Door. But that doesn't change the fact you hid important information from me. And by doing so you could've risked the organization as a whole. Not too mention you neglected your immediate superior. I'm sorry Numbuh Infinity but I'm sending you, 74.239 and the other operatives to immediate decommissioning."

"What? Are you insane? How about these guys? They hid the information too!" Infinity was frantic.

"But they eventually wanted to tell me. And, they've only known for about a year. You've been in the GKND since who knows when and never bothered to tell me! I'm the leader of the KND and I have a right to know what goes on under my watch. If I can't trust you, then I'm afraid you have to go. Sector V, you're dismissed. Go back to your treehouse."

"Are you going to be ok?"

"I'm going to be fine Numbuh 5. Thanks." 362 managed a weak smile.

Sector V turned away and wanted to leave as soon as possible but Infinity spoke one last time.

"Numbuh 5!" Infinity called out and 5 turned around. "Be careful. Your team is now the only one that knows of the GKND. Just a final thought."

Numbuh 5 didn't say anything and left the two behind.

Thanks for reading! For all of you guys that are continuing to follow this, thanks a lot! It really means a lot to me.
