At the mansion..."WHAT?!?" cried two boys together, staring at a blond girl incredously, their jaws hanging open.

She rolled her eyes slightly at their stupidity, and responded, "We're not going to kill her."

"And why...NOT?!" demanded a tall boy with thick red hair that covered his eyes. He impatiently brushed a few strands away.

The girl smiled smugly. "Because I say so."

A boy wearing a slightly-askew football helmet sighed with disgust. "We can't keep her here," he said firmly. "Even to torture her. She'd learn too much. If, which she probably would, considering those stupid Kids Next Door's luck, she escaped..." He shuddered at the thought.

Their brother, a short kid with pale blond hair, was back inside the greyhound machine, and was slowly backing it up. He made a blunt nail shoot out of the dog's paw and type a code on one of the mansion's walls. The wall flashed open just enough for the greyhound to go through, then instantly became solid again.

A few yards away from the argument, a pudgy girl with dark brown pigtails held a roll of gauze bandage. She listened with half an ear to the argument as she wound the gauze around a very large, bleeding wound on a still unconsious Japenese girl's right leg. Then she wrapped three ring of thick white tape around the gauze to keep it on and to give some support to the leg.

The red haired boy whirled around, and his eyes glanced over at the pigtailed-girl. "Leah, what are you doing?" he yelled, slightly frustrated because Ginny wouldn't give in.

"What does it look like I'm doing?" she asked retorically and she wrapped the last ring of tape around the girl's leg.

Dylan stepped up. He told her with annoyance, "We do not help the enemy!"

"Oh yes we do." interrupted Ginny.

The African-American rolled his eyes. "Maybe you do, but-"

"Hey hey hey! Knock it off, you two," John, back from putting the greyhound in the machine storage and development room, pushed between them. He looked at the helpless Numbuh Three. "Listen. This is what we're going to do..."
