A/N: Nothing belongs to me except Numbuh 178.

Chapter 7: The Mission and a Scream

When they arrived at the tree house they found someone waiting for them. Someone they wouldn't mind not seeing.

"Where the blazes have you been? I've been waiting here for half an hour!" Numbuh 86 shrieked.

Sector V winced but only Numbuh 2 was brave enough to ask the question they were all thinking.

"Numbuh 86, what are you doing here?" he asked carefully.

"Numbuh 362 ordered me to help you, and to see how Numbuh 178 fits in with the team." Numbuh 86 said and everyone could see that she thought it was a waste of time.

"What's the mission?" Numbuh 5 asked.

"Father recently received the blueprints to every K.N.D. or T.N.D. tree house in the world." Numbuh 86 said. "We need to destroy them or get them back."

Everyone gulped.

"Won't we need back up?" Numbuh 178 asked.

"If we need backup then we'll call for it. Now come on." Numbuh 86 said.

She led the way into the airplane hanger.

"Which aircraft shall we take?" she asked.

Numbuh 2 looked around and finally decided on the M.O.S.Q.U.T.O.H.(Spelling??) Everyone piled in and took their correct seats. Numbuh 2 raised the plane in the air and took off.

"So what's the plan?" Numbuh 3 asked.

Numbuh 1 opened his mouth to answer but Numbuh 86 beat him to it.

"We'll go in teams to find the blueprints." The Irish girl said. "Numbuhs 1, 5 and 178 go one way, Numbuhs 3 and 4 another way and Numbuh 2 and myself will go another way. Numbuh 5, see how working with Numbuh 178 works for you and Numbuh 1."

Numbuh 5 nodded and returned to looking out the window. 15 (A/N: I always use the same amount of time) minutes later Numbuh 2 landed the ship a half mile away from Father's mansion.

"Ok guys, we'll continue on foot. Let's go." Numbuh 1 said.

Sector V (and Numbuh 86) filed out of the plane. They could just see Father's mansion in the distance. Numbuh 86 stopped them with a wave of the hand as they stood outside a window.

"Numbuhs 1, 5 and 178, go to the left, Numbuhs 3 and 4, go to the right. Numbuh 2 and I will go straight. Move out!"

Numbuhs 1, 5 and 178 crept in the window and went to the left. A few minutes later Numbuhs 3 and 4 went to the right. Minutes after that Numbuhs 2 and 86 went straight.

Numbuhs 1, 5 and 178 walked silently down a corridor.

"Should we try this door?" Numbuh 1 whispered.

"How should I know?" Numbuh 5 said.

"I don't know. You're the spy."

Numbuh 5 rolled her eyes.

"Er guys I think we should go through that door." Numbuh 178 pointed to the door at the end of the corridor. Coincidentally the door had the words Father's Study on it.

"Er right. Let's go." Numbuh 1 said sheepishly. They went to the end of the hallway and opened the door. They went in and...

"Oh crud." Numbuh 5 whispered.

(A/N: I could end here but I'm not that cruel)

Numbuhs 3 and 4 went to the left. Very soon they realized they weren't going to find anything. They were in the middle of a child's nightmare. At least it was a nightmare in their eyes.

It was the Delightful Children from Down the Lane's room. It was perfect in everyway possible. There was nothing cluttering the floors, nothing stuffed under the bed, and the closets were organized to perfection. Numbuh 3 was looking in the clothes closets and Numbuh 4 was trying not to think how pretty she was.

You have every right to think she's pretty. A voice in his head said. After all you love her!

I do not!

Yes you do!

I do not love Kuki!

Whatever you say, but I live in your mind, I can read your thoughts.

Numbuh 4 was jerked out of his mental conversation as Numbuh 3 said something.

"Look at these." She said pointing at a perfect sailor suit. "I would rather die than where these."

Numbuh 4 nodded. "Same here. Come on, we have to find Father's..."

The word's died on his lips as a scream cut through the entire manor.

What was really scary to the teenagers was that it wasn't just any scream. It was the scream of someone who NEVER screamed. In other words... Numbuh 5.

Numbuhs 3 and 4 stared at each other wide eyed until they came to their senses. Then they bolted out of the room so fast that it would have given Superman a run for his money.

Numbuhs 2 and 86 weren't having any more luck than Numbuhs 3 and 4 had. They were in the kitchen. Of course since they were there, Numbuh 2 insisted on grabbing a snack.

"Would you hurry it up?" Numbuh 86 said irritably.

Thankfully she didn't really scream that much anymore. She had grown out of it. It was thankful because otherwise Numbuh 2 would be deaf by now.

"Hang on. Almost done. Don't you think it's funny that Father will have to go back to the store sooner?" Numbuh 2 asked his attention on the contents of the refrigerator. He wasn't fat anymore, but he still liked food just as much.

"Come on, Numbuh 2. We're on a mission." Numbuh 86 said trying not to think how good looking the pilot had become.

WHAT!! She screamed in her head. I DID NOT JUST THINK THAT HOAGIE GILLIGAN IS GOOD LOOKING!!

She was jerked out of her thoughts as a scream, louder than the screams in her head, cut through the air. Numbuh 2 banged his head in the fridge as he pulled it out quickly.

"What? Maybe it's Father's scream." Numbuh 86 said nervously.

"Did that sound like a grown man's scream? That came from Numbuh 5." Numbuh 2 said.

The meaning of this statement hit the teenagers at the same time. Their eyes widened at each other and they bolted out of the room just as fast as Numbuh 3 and 4 had.

(A/N: laughs evilly Ok I'm probably even crueler to end now)

A/N: So sorry for the cliffhanger. I'll try to update later today or tomorrow.
