Silhouette Child
Chapter 9
A Kiss to (finally) Remember
Sector V was stunned. Numbuh Five started to recall Cree talking about a secret weapon Father was going to use to destroy the Kids Next Door forever. She had been telling her friend about how she was going to train it.
"You're Father's secret weapon! Numbuh Five ran K.E.E.N.A. through the super cool naminator eleventy hundred times! It didn't make any sense. Now Numbuh Five understands. Keena didn't stand for something, it was a name!" She turned to Numbuh One. "You're a genius! We can keep her here and Father will have lost his most destructive weapon ever!" She looked Keena over. She didn't look dangerous. Sure Cree had trained her, but Numbuh Five had beat Cree millions of times. "What makes you Father's Secret weapon anyway? You don't look dangerous" Keena was about to speak but Cree interrupted her.
"Man you guys are really stupid aren't you! What's the only thing more destructive than Father? One of his own flesh and blood! Keena is the sixth Delightful Child! She has all of Father's Power and now because of me, she also knows how to fight. You don't stand a chance!" Cree began to laugh. "Keena! Attack scenario V!" Keena Grabbed Numbuh One from behind and held him up in front of her.
"Don't move or I'll BBQ your leader!" Her hand was surrounded by fire. Numbuh one knew he could get free easily, but he couldn't bring himself to hurt her. 'maybe I won't have to' he thought to himself. He wrenched himself out of her hand, but she grabbed him and faced him with a firm grip on his arm, just as he had predicted. They were inches away from each other. The flame surrounding her hand came near him and he knew it was now or never. He grabbed her with one hand on each cheek and kissed her. At first Keena tried to pull away, but suddenly she felt as if all of her memories were flooding back. The fire surrounding her hand fizzled out and she put both hands on his neck. He let go of her face and rested his hands on her back.
"What the crud is going on?!" Numbuh Four shouted. Keena and Nigel pulled apart and both blushed. Nigel looked at Keena with a questioning look on his face.
"Well? Did it work?"
"N-Nigel? W-where am I?" she looked around.
"You're free, our plan worked." He didn't bother telling her what Father had done, it didn't matter now. She was free of Father's clutches and that was all that mattered.
