Chapter 15! Here it goes! ^--^

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

The many many Kids Next Door made thier way towards the door.

"Allright, when we're out, we need to go in groups of five, allright?" One said to the massive

group. "That way we won't be as noticable."

He gots various nods and affirmations from them.

The plan was members of his team would escort teams out of the building quietly. He sure hoped

it would work.

He took a deep breath and tried the door handle.

It was locked.

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

"What's the hold up?" Aymie asked her sister quietly.

"I don't know," Bethie replied.

"Um... could someone get a light up here?" They heard Numbuh one call.

"I have a feeling the doors locked," Aymie said with a frown.

"Well, it gives us time to talk. Come on," Beth replied, draggig her to the rear of the crowd.

Aymie sighed and stumbled after her. She glanced around and marveled at how many teams were here,

young and old alike. 'Why, there's the one from Switzerland... and hey, she must be Rachelle's

cousin, she looks just like her...' She slowed her pace to look around at everyone.

'Hey! I know her from last years annual meeting... and-' Her eyes widened when she saw him.

"What the-" She was cut off by Bethie tapping her shoulder from behind her.

"You coming?" she asked.

"Yeah, yeah..." Aymie glanced around, but he was gone. She sighed, brushed a long dark hair

out of her face and followed her sister.

Soon they were in the very back, away from most of the crowd; who were now mumbling.

"Did you see him?" Aymie said before her twin could say anything.

"See who?"

"This guy... I saw him only for a moment. He looked just like me!"

"Aym, maybe someone was holding up a mirror," Beth said, giving her a look.

"No, no, He had short hair."

"So someone looks like you. You look like mom, too."

They both fell quiet. The crowd seemed to be getting annoyed. Suddenly Numbuh One spoke again.

"Um... It seems to be locked from the outside."

Aymie and Bethie moaned along with the rest of the kids.

"Great, we're stuck. Some rescue mission," Aymie said with a snort.

"It gives us more time to talk, at least." Bethie pulled over a wooden box and sat on it.

After a few moments of listening to the crowd, Beth spoke up.

" So Mom was in the Kids Next Door, and she and her team is now ten years old."

"Looks like it. Except for dad..." she replied, fading off.

Bethie stood up and hopped up on the box. "I'll try to find Mom."

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

Will stood around with his team, thinking about what he had just saw.

'She looked just like me...' He thought. Suddenly his communicator watch beeped.

He looked at it and his face brightened. "Jake!"

"Yeah, Hey Will. You okay?"

"I'm fine. Where are you? I saw you run off when we got captured... What's going on?"

Jake sighed. "Long story short, Dad's here. He's been turned into a kid."

"Wait, A kid?!"

"Yeah. Will, can you move near the back of the crowd?"

"Um, sure why? Jake, where are you?"

"I'm in the vents. Dad was in the Kids Next Door as a kid, and since he was turned into one,

he reunited with his team."

Will was quiet for a few seconds. "He's here? Now? With his team? Wow."

"Are you near the back now? I have something really important to tell you," Jake said, looking

a bit nervous.

"Yeah, I'm here in the back, why-"

Jake blurted the news out. "Will, Mom's alive."

Will raised an eyebrow. "Now's not the time to be joking around."

"I'm serious. She was a member of Dad's team. She's- she's here now too."

"SHT!"

The members around him turned suddenly to look at him, and began talking quickly in Dutch.

"Yeah... That's why I told you to go the back," Jake said, with a slight grin on his face.

"Um, thanks. Are you sure?!"

"Will, I met her. Well, her ten year old self anyway."

"So... So Dad lied." Will sat down on the floor.

"Yeah... He did."

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

Kuki and Wallabee sat on the steps leading up to the door.

"Should we go find the girls?" Kuki asked him quietly.

"Now? I think we have enough on our minds. They probably have enough on theirs," He replied

softly.

"Do you think they've spotted Will?"

"I'm not sure-" He was cut off by Numbuh One, calling to them.

They got up and went over to thier teammates.

"Wat up?" Four asked.

"Chad's going to try to unlock the door, and we'll get out of here as soon as possible," One

said, looking around. "Does everyone know what to do and where to go?"

They all nodded.

"Allright. Good job so far everyone."

"But what about the age devise ray?" Numbuh 5 said, voicing her concern.

"Once we get everyone to safety, we'll corner the Delightful's father and get it," One said,

this time not so sure of himself.

"But what about the guys in black?" Two asked.

"Well..." One paused.

"I think we should ask some current members to help," Four said firmly.

"But we'd be putting them in danger..." Two said, biting his lip.

"How many times were we put in danger when we were their age? I agree with Four," Abby said,

crossing her arms.

Nigel sighed. " You're right. Now, everyone okay with this plan?"

"I don't want to do it, but I'll do it," Two said, still sounding insecure.

"Allright. Chad siad it would be about ten more minutes to get here. You know, just to be

safe," One said in his British accent.

They un-grouped to wait the long ten minutes.
