Chapter Eleven. Wow. And we still don't know who did it! ( Well, I do... I'm the Authoress)

And... you may notice i have changed my pen name from Numbuh8 to Ness.611. There were too

many Numbuh 8's. Er... yeah. Oh! Thanks for reviewing! I love hearing from you people. ^--^

--------------------------------

When the kids reached the open air, they all realised they had no way of getting to mr. B's.

After thinking, Jake spoke up. " I could take you."

Numbuh two brightened. "Could i fly it? Please 744? Please?"

"Allright," he nodded. " I don't know where this place is anyway."

So they went back down the stairs where Jake led them to a room. He pressed a button and

the roof suddenly opened.

The light from the oncoming dawn shone through, showing a plane in front of them.

Two's eyes opened wide.

Jake saw this and laughed. " It's nothing much."

Two quickly got inside and the others followed. They buckled themselves in, Jake looking a

bit nervous.

"Don't worry," Abby said across from him. "He knows what he's doing."

They slowly asended when suddenly there was a bump that made them all jump.

"Sorry!" 2 called from the cockpit.

744 shot Five a glance, in which she replied with a shrug.

Beside Jake sat three who was resisting the urge to hug him. Next to her was none other than

four. He held her hand gently. If the other kids noticed, they didn't say anything.

Nigel sat next to Abby, happily chatting away.

Finally they landed. The sun had now risen and was casting a soft glow over everything. It

was allready getting warm. (A/N: We're still pretending the whole world has the same time)

Four, who was the closest, opened the door. They had landed in a dence woodland area.

When they had all piled out, five spoke up. "This isn't mr. B's place."

"I didn't want the plane to be disovered. It's this way," two replied, heading off.

"Why didn't we just bust in like last time?" She mumbled and follwed.

When they got to the building, which was on the edge of the forest, the kids gazed up at it.

It was like they remembered it, plain and white with the company's logo over the door.

They all walked in to the secretary who was typing away on her computer.

They were all shorter than the desk, and it took a few "Ahem!"s to get her attention.

"Yeess?" She said, peering at them from under her glasses which magnified her eyes.

"Um, we've come to see Mr. B," One said for the group.

The secretary stared at them for a moment and went back to typing. " I'm sorry, but he's busy

at the moment."

Jake raised his fist but Kuki gave him a look and shook her head.

"It's important," One continued.

"Whatever it is, it'll have to wait."

Nigel's upper lip twitched in annoyance. He jumped up on the desk.

"Wait, what are you-" She was cut of by Numbuh Five, also jumping onto the desk.

"Listen lady. Let us in. It's an emergancy and it can't wait."

The secretary took no notice of thier threats and said patiently : " I'll

fit you in. Please sit."

"But it's urgent!"

"What could be urgent for a ten year old?" She said, bored with them. " Just sit."

Abby was about to retort but Nigel grabbed her arm. "Do you want us to get thrown out?"

She sighed and followed him and the rest to the waiting area.

They sat down on a long bench. Two looked around. It was a plain room with white walls and

a coffee table filled with newspapers stacked neatly in a pile.

A person was reading a paper from across the room. He looked up when he heard the six talking.

Jake caught his eye and gave a little gasp. He leaned over and whispered to his Father.

"Dad! Look over there! He's on one of my trading cards, do you know him?"

Numbuh Four looked up and met the eye of what he remembered to be Numbuh 274.

"Chad?!"

The rest of the group's heads shot up in surprise. Chad folded his paper and set it down neatly

on the top of the pile. "Hello. I see i'm not the only one who was turned back into thier kid self."

Nigel stood up to greet him. " Nice to see you again. Are you here to see Mr. B?"

"Yes. I have the feeling, since he's grown up again, that he's developed another age changing ray."

"We had the same feeling," Nigel nodded.

The secretary's bored voice suddenly wrang out from her desk. " Mr. B will now see you."

"Shall we?" Chad said, gesturing.

They all walked slowly into his office. It was dim, and the chair behind his desk was facing

away from them.

Two people, whom One, Two, Three, Four and Five recognised as Mr. B's parents stepped out of the

shadows.

"Hello there," the man said, " We remember you. Why, you havn't changed a bit."

"Actually, we were changed. Back to kids," One said, frowning.

Suddenly the chair whirled around to reveal Mr. B. He still looked the same, even though he had

aged about twenty years from the incedent. " Why, hello! Are you fans of my station? Here, have

some candy!"

"Maybe later, thanks," Abby said.

To everyone's surprise, Mr. B didn't yell " Did you call me a baby?!". He just smiled and nodded.

The woman bent down and whispered so only the kids could hear, " As we said, we wanted to raise

him to be a little nicer to people, and i think we did." She stepped back and winked.

"So what can i do for you?" Mr. B said, hopping up on his desk.

"You might not remember, but before you were turned back into a baby, you created an age changing

devise, and tried to change the whole world into babies," Nigel said slowly.

Mr. B nodded. "I've been told about that, yes, but i wouldn't do that again, that's not nice."

His parents glowed and gave them smiles as if to say: "See? We told you."

"Well... in reality we're adults, and we've been mysteriously changed back into kids," Chad

said, stepping up.

"Why, that's terrible!" Mr. B said, sounding sincere.

The kids exchanged looks. "We had a hunch you were behind it," Abby said quietly.

"Me? Why, I've done wrong in the past, but i would never do such a thing now! That's crazy!"

"Have you givin the blueprints to anyone by chance then?" Nigel said, starting to believe maybe

Mr. B didn't do it.

"Nope, i threw them all away!"

"Well, the first one you made Nigel here smashed to bits, and we made sure it was disposed of,"

Four said, fading off.

"We've got to turn you back into adults! Allthough, it wouldn't be a bad idea to turn all the

adults of the world into kids so they would watch my network-" He was cut off by a stern glance

by his parents. "... but that would be a bad idea."

"I- I mean my friend watches your channel with her kids, she says it's very intertaining," Kuki

put in cheerfully. Wally gave her a quick look then turned back to mr. B.

Mr. B. grinned. "Why, that's wonderful! But that's beside the point. I'm afraid i can't help you.

This is quite a delemma." He started pacing around his desk. The secretary's bored voice came out

over the intercom, scaring everyone.

"Mr. B, it's time for your Eight o'clock meeting."

"Be right there, Rhonda. Sorry kids, i must go. Good luck to you, sorry i couldn't help."

With that he walked out of the room followed by his parents.

"I reccomend we search his office," Chad said, allready flipping through a drawer.

" I dunno, he looked pretty clean to me," Jake mumbled.

"I agree, but we can't know for sure. Let's hurry,"Nigel said, walking up to a filing cabnet.

After a while, they all met back in the center of the room, all empty handed.

"He looks pretty innocent,"Nigel said, admitting defeat. "Let's go. Chad, you want to join us?"

He shrugged. "Might as well."

So the seven walked out of the door and back through the forest to thier ship.

I hope that chapter cleared up some questions for you. NOW who do you think it is? Is Mr. B

hiding something, or is someone else the culprit? Bwahahahaha, only I know. Please R/r!
