This chapter is going to be short because I'm still working out the big fight, and I have been putting off writing. I'm really hoping this isn't becoming anti-climactic. Okay, I'm done rambling.

...

Numbuh 3 and Numbuh 4 snuck quickly down the corridor, darting into different rooms and the darting back out after an unsuccessful search.

They eventually reached the stairwell leading down to the basement.

"It's really dark down there." Numbuh 3 pointed out, "It would be easy to hide stuff down there."

"Alright, let's go. But we've gotta be quiet and careful."

"Right."

The two crept down the stairs, careful not to make too much noise. But then...

THUD!

Numbuh 4 had reached the bottom safely, but tripped over something as he began creeping forward.

Or rather, someone had tripped him.

"Wha-?!" he cried, but was cut off when he felt a hand grab the back of his jacket and lift him off the ground.

Once again, the lights flickered on. And once again, he and Numbuh 3 were face-to-face with Cree's posse.

"Hi!" Numbuh 3 cheerfully exclaimed, "Don't mind us, we were just passing through."

The Teens said nothing and proceeded to drag the two kids through the corridor.

"Yeah," said Numbuh 4, chuckling nervously, "so if you don't mind letting us go, we'll be on our way-AAH!"

The two were suddenly flung into a large room and pinned to the ground.

The first thing they saw was a figure standing in front of a large window. A figure they almost instantly recognized.

"What now?!" Father exclaimed, turning around to glare at the Teens, "Can't you see I'm still trying to hunt down that brat, Numbuh 1?!"

...

Nice little cliffhanger for you. By the way, Numbuh 2 is still fighting Cree, I have a small scene that I'm going to cut to and from during the fight chapter. Okay, I'll see you around!
