Chapter 12. Oooh, you people are good.

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

The seven climbed back into the air craft, unsure of what to do next.

"Well, what should we do now?" Two asked from the piolet's seat.

"Well, I for one don't want to be stuck in my ten year old body forever," 5 said, crossing

her arms over her chest.

"I agree," Nigel said, looking around the group.

"Don't forget all the missing Kids Next Door members," Jake said.

"That's true. My next suspect is the Delightful Childr- well, those delightfuls from down

the lane," The old leader said.

Jake raised an eyebrow. " You had the delightful children when you were in the kids next

door?"

Kuki looked over at him. " Are you saying that there's more today?"

He nodded. "They're not as big as the Kids Next Door, but there's one in our city. Those

dorks have cause a lot of damage and trouble."

"Do they have a father?" Two inquired.

"Well, they have foster parents, but they're allways away at work. Why?"

"They had a Father, who was a bigger threat than them. He sprouted all these flames when

he got angry," Kuki demonstrated by waving her hands around.

"He sounds like the ringleader," Jake said when his mother was finished.

"He just may be the cause of this mess, for what reasons i don't know. Numbuh two, take us

to the Delightful's mansion!"

"Sure thing!" Two replied and turned around in his seat. Soon they were in the air.

Kuki's eyes began to droop after a while, along with some yawns from the others.

A few minutes later, they arrived a block away from the Delightful's mansion.

"Allright, we need a plan," Chad said, looking at One. "Leaderboy? You happen to have one?"

Nigel nodded and turned to the rest of the team. " Allright, we'll need to sneak in without

being seen, which is no easy task these days. We're not even sure the Delightful children

and thier father are behind this..." Several members shot him a glance. " But i think it's

a pretty good bet."

"Are you sure the kids next door members are in the delightful's mansion? There are thousands

of them!"

"I don't know, but it won't hurt to check," One said, getting out of the aircraft.

The rest followed suit. They crept, stealth-like, down the street. They passed thier empty

treehouse, shining in all it's glory in the sun. They reached the wall that surrounded the

property.

Two ran and fetched a large rock and wooden board and helped fling the members over much like

they did when they were actually ten.

They crept behind vairious trees and bushes in a strait uniform line. They reached a wall and

ducked behind a large bush.

"Now what?" Asked Four.

"There's a large vent over there. Good thing were all kids, i wouldn't have been able to fit

otherwise. Anyway, peek in through the vents leading to each room, and check for activity."

He turned to Chad and Jake. " My team has communicator watches, so-" One stopped when they

both showed thier wrists with communicater watches on them. "Right. Alert the us if you find

anything."

One by one they crept into the vents untill only Three and Four were left outside.

"Be careful, I don't want to lose you again," Four said, kissed her cheek and crawled into

the vent.

"Mamma mia, here i go again!" Three sang quietlty, and followed him into the vent.

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

Five adult figures watched them on a computer screen. "Should we? Yes, i think we shall,"

they said in a monotonus voice. They pressed various buttons and started to laugh.

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

Numbuh two was having a bit of trouble moving in the vents, and suddenly felt very hot.

He realised someone had turned on the heat. 'In June?' He thought. He tried continuing on,

but the metal was starting to burn his hands. He quickly lauchned himself at the nearest exit.

He felt himself fall, and landed in a dim room. It took him a whiile to adjust, and when he

realized what was going on, he gasped. He was in a small enclosed cage, with other cages as

far as he could see. In the cages were the missing kids next door members.

He jumped when something poked his shoulder. A kid in the next cage stared at him.

"Are you okay?" She asked.

"Yeah, i'm okay... Are you a kid or an adult trapped in an adult's body?"

The girl gave him a wierd look. " I'm ten... are you an adult or somethin?"

He nodded. " Someone or something turned me into a kid."

Her eyes widened. "I think it's father. He came down here saying his other plan was complete"

"Aha! Excuse me for a minute. I've come to rescuse you along with all the others, and i came with

six others!"

He turned on his watch and A larger palm-top sized screen popped up. Six faces appeared.

"Guys! I found them!"
