Chapter Seven:

An Escape Plan

All of a sudden, there was an explosion on the side of the moonbase. Everyone fell to the ground.

"What the crud was that?" Numbuh 4 asked.

And than Numbuh 60 barged into the room.

"Numbuh 362!" he said. "The Delightful Children From Down The Lane started to attack."

"Where are they attacking?!?" Numbuh 362 demand.

Then, there was another explosion outside and everyone fell again.

"Here, at the moonbase!" Numbuh 60 said.

Then, there was a glow behind them. All the Kids Next Door opratives got up and looked out the window and saw the Delightful Children (minus Lenny) in a big huge robot.

"Whoa!" Numbuh 4 shouted. "That is one big...uh, what is it again?"

Numbuh 2 groaned.

"Kids Next Door, Battle Stations!" Numbuh 362 shouted.

Everyone than started to run in different directions, getting ready for the battle.

"Sector V, your with me!" Numbuh 362 shouted to the group and they walked away.

The KND moonbase sent out some fight robots outside the moonbase, including some missles. And than, a ship left the moonbase and heads toward Earth. Inside were Numbuhs 1 through 4 and Numbuh 362.

"Exactly where are we going?" Numbuh 1 asked. "We're going to Earth, shouldn't we help the Kids Next Door stop the Delightful Children?"

"They'll be fine by themselves," said Numbuh 362. "Besides, their distracting them. All we got to do is to go down to Earth, go to their mansion, and get Numbuh 5 out of there without them noticing."

"Brillaint idea, Numbuh 362," said Numbuh 4. "But uh...how are we going to get there? Their mansion might be crawling with security cameras."

"Thanks to the KND's lastest technology," Numbuh 362 explained, while holding up some belts. "The Inviso-belt. It allows you to turn invisable but only for a short time."

"Than we've got to get Numbuh 5 out of there fast," Numbuh 1 said. "Or else Father will find out."

They were now back on Earth, and landed in front of the Delightful Children's mansion. They got out of the ship, and they put on the belts.

"Okay guys," Numbuh 362 said. "In order to be invisible, push the button. It's on the metal thing."

Numbuh 362 pushed a button that was on the metal thing, and she disappeared. Everyone gasped.

"Where did she go?" Numbuh 1 asked.

"I'm still right in front of you," a voice that sounds alot like Numbuh 362.

"Whoa," said Numbuh 4. "I'm trying it out. This is so cool."

Numbuh 4 pushed the button and he became invisable. Than, Numbuh 2 pushed the button and became invisable, than Numbuh 3, and than Numbuh 1.

"Alright Sector V," Numubh 362 said. "Let's move out."

Everyone than went straight to the wall. Numbuh 362 placed a bomb on it, and everyone ran. Than, the bomb went off and the wall explodes. Meanwhile, at the security room, Lenny heard a explosion. He ran to the security monitors and saw nothing. He than pressed a few buttons, and the monitors went all purple. He now sees a full view of Numbuhs 1, 2, 3, 4, and 362.

"Oh no!" he shouted. "Their here for Numbuh 5! I got to get her out of here before they do!"

He than ran out of the security room. Meanwhile, at the dugeons, Numbuh 5 was still in her prison, sleeping. The dugeon door opens, and Lenny ran in front of her prison. He than got out a set of keys, puts one of the keys into the key hole, got the key out, and opens the door to Numbuh 5's prison, ran to her bed, and started to shake her.

"Abigail, wake up!" he shouted.

Numbuh 5 than opened her eyes and sat up. She saw Lenny out of the corner of her eye.

"Lenny, what is it?" Numbuh 5 asked.

"Come on," Lenny said, as he grab Numbuh 5's hand. "We got to get out of here!"

The both of them than ran out of the dugeons and in the hall.

"Come on!" Lenny said.

Then, they took off running down the halls.

"Where are we going?" Numbuh 5 asked.

"Your friends are here at the mansion!" Lenny explained.

He ttook out a purple PDA-like device. There were 5 yellow dots heading down the hall on the device, and were heading straight for them. Then, they bumped into some things, and they were Numbuhs 1,2,3,4, and 362.

"What the?" Numbuh 1 said. "Numbuh 5! Why the heck is one of The Delightful Children helping you?"

"Maybe y'all gotta asked Numbuh 5 that, later," Numbuh 5 said. "We gotta get outta here."

All of them ran as fast as they could until they headed outside the mansion and right near a forest outside The Delightful Children's Mansion.

"Well, at least we got outta there!" Numbuh 4 said.

"So, uh Lenny," Numbuh 5 said. "You said you knew who Numbuh 5's secret admirer is. So, who is it?"

Lenny was just standing there, not making a sound.

"What!" Numbuh 2 said. "I know I should have investigated this mystery of Abigail's secret admirer, sooner."

"NO!" everyone said.

"Well uh..." Lenny started to say. "Well, I don't know how to say it, but uh...You're secret admirer is...well Numbuh 5...well...I'M your secret admirer."

Then, everyone was just standing there, not making a sound. But the only sound you can hear are crickets chirping in the background.

"What?" Numbuh 5 said.

"Your secret admirer is me," Lenny said. "I wrote that love letter to you because...well...this isn't how I wanted you to find out."

"Numbuh 5 thinks she better head on home," Numbuh 5 said.

Numbuh 5 then ran off.

"Numbuh 5!" Numbuh 3 said, but Numbuh 362 laid a hand on her shoulder.

"Maybe it's best if we let Numbuh 5 head on home," she said. "After all she's been through, the worst has got to be over sooner or later."
