seem to have no working disks .
Thank you all fro reviewing. I was shocked to find 6 reviews in one day!! More impotantly, the first day in was up!!! Oh, and please don't hurt me...
Loosing Imagination Part Two
~Numbuh Three was always expected to never grow up. But she did. In fact, she was the first one. Can anyone change her back?
C3I PoV
Being 16, I hardly expected to be contacted by KND again. But, strangler things have happened before. It was early morinignt hat I found Numbuh 44 at my door.
"C3I? KND requests your help."
I smirk down on my former teammate. "so, what's wrong now?"
"As a Pre-S.A.V.E. member, I need yoiur help."
"S.A.V.E. huh? Who is it?"
"Numbah Three, kuki Sanban."
"Wait – Three!"
She nodded, before handing me a folder.
At the age of 8, Three had founded S.A.V.E. That was also the year I was left KND. Before that, I was head of a similar, nameless group. Mostly, I did recover operations then. But to be called back to save Three was an honour, even if given by children.
After 44 left, I glaced though the folder. I got no ideas at first, but still headed to the hospital 44 had included the address to.
I recognised some of the operatives surrounding Three. Namely Numbuh Four. He'd been the youngest to ever join, just after his 5th birthday. His father had moved them shorthly after four's sister was killed by a car. She ha been 15, at it was devistating on the little boy. I know, because I was the one to walk him though recovery, actallu starting the group Three would later propel into true existance.
I also knew five...well, more like I knew Numbah 11, Cree. That girl and I DID NOT get alonog, so naturally Abby and I did perfectly!
So there was my excuse as I entered the room, I was checking up on Four and Five.
Kuki Sanban was already sitting in there, along with a little bald kid, whom I correctly assummed was Numbuh One. He looked up, but his reaction was that to seeing a ghost- "Numbah 103!!"
I blinked. I really didn't have ac clue as on how he knew me , "C3I, actually. I am no longer a member of KND."
He backed away as Kuki looked up, but his shrill voice made my wince, "W- What are y-you doing here!!?"
I shake my head, "Checking on a friend, our have you made that a crime, now?"
Kuki turned her attention to him, "Nigel, who is she?"
"Numbah 103! She had the worst decomisioning ever! Well, aside from the more recent 274. Absolutly, No one would do it!"
I snickered, "So, someone finally topped me? Any chance 274 is Chad?" I knew Chad, briefly. He was one of the younger kids. I think he'd be 14 now.
One nodded, still looking uneasly. It's nice to be loved, isn't it?
"Decomisioning is sad, isn't it. You guys still have another year, right?"
I realise this subject isn't the best one, they both look very unhappy. But being the 'evil' teenager as I am, I keep going.
"Except you, right Sanban? You already quit. Guess everyone has to grow up one day."
Numbuh One is mad, so I grin at him. Now that they both are focased on one thing, time to change topics. "So, How's Wall' doing?"
Kuki answers, "He won't wake up."
"How'd he get hurt?" As if I didn't already know.
Kuki starts to answer, but One breaks in – "He fought bravely to save his friends in a hopeless situation!"
I raise an eyebrow. Interesting. One seems to be talking to Kuki, not I.
Curisosty seemed to spark in Kuki. Good. The first step was big enough, but she is starting to look at least interested.
"How do you know Wallabee?"
I pionted to the chair One had been sitting in, but turned to Kuki, "May I sit?"
She nods, and I smile at the eagerness in her eyes, and at the death glare One was sending my way.
I sit, but remain silent. I watch Kuki carefully. What Iwant is for her to press the matter, but she doesn't. Not wanting to loose ground, I speak up again.
"I was kinda Four's mentor, when he joined." I try to stay vague, hoping to spark that curiosity into a blaze.
Unfortuanalty, One spoke up. He was going to be a problem. "What mentor? Why?"
I sigh, but Kuki nods for me to continue, "Four was the youngest KND offical Member. Ever.
"How young?" Kuki askes.
I smile again, "5."
Her eyes widen. She was only 7 when she joined. "Why?"
"He just moved, and he really needed some help."
Again, "Why?"
I shrug. "That's classified."
The both face-vault, but I'm happy to get such a reaction form Kuki.
"Oh, just tell us!" One exclaimes.
I turn to pin him with a sickingly-sweet smile, "I can't. I am forbidden to reveal any classified KND information to any KND operative." However, I eye Kuki.
She doesn't catch my drift, but One does. "Well, you could tell Kuki, since she is no longer a member." I could tell he just wanted to easdropp, or interigate the girl later, but I mattered not to me. I just wanted him to leave.
Kuki agrees, oblivios to One's plan. After he is gone, I turn to her.
"So, you must be Numbah Three. Four told me a lot about you."
Obviously, this is not what she was expecting. She sat up straight, "He did?"
I lean back in my chair. "Yea. He said you reminded him of his sister."
She gives a little growl and her mood darkens. "Lair. Four doesn't have any sisters!"
I nodded. "Not anymore." I was going to tell her a sad story, but I had called her Three, without her getting angry, and I got her to refer tot he other in his codename, so I was feeling pretty good. Not to bad, if I do say so myself. "Before Four moved, he had a sister"
"What happened to her?"
"Ya know that he lived in Australia. His dad and mom and his sister, Sydnie. She was 15 at the time. He was 5."
I paused, but Kuki didn't say anyhing, but only eagerly looked at me, awaiting more. Curiosity. Eagerness. Slowly, I think Three is returing.
"Those two got along real well, but that summer, Sydnie was hit by a car while wlking home from school."
I stopped again, watching her carefully. She clutched the hoody tightly. "Did she die?"
"Yea."
I could see her slowly fading again, "but, ya know if she hadn't, you neverwould of met Four."
"But he would be happier." Touche! I had to make a quick recovery!
"Someone else could have been Four."
"But Wallabee would be happy..."
"This new Four might of abandoned you back in the alley."
She looked at me, unsure.
"Four might of lost onew sister, but when he met you all, he gained two sisters, and two brothers." I think that was a nice save.
"He gained..."
"Yeah. He lost one, but he saved three in that alley."
Kuki looked away to stare at him.
"After hissisterdied, he told mehe felt useless. I think by saving you, he stopped feeling that way."
"I don't want him to die."
I nodded, "Yea, but you did help him. You helped him heal."
She was quiet. "How do you know? Howdo you know he's healed?"
I wasn't expexting that question, and it took me a moment to answer. "You really wanna know?"
She looks me dead in the eyes. "Yes."
I slump in my chair. "about a month before Four joined, my broth was killed in a drive-by shooting. I felt lost, and useless. I quit KND, and locked myself away. Then one day, this littloe blond boy moves in next door.he was hurting, just like me. I took in this little kid, and helped him the way I wish someone would of helped me. And helping him healed me, just like helping you healed him."
"It's a big chain then." She starts crying. "I guess I need to help someone now." And thought her tears, she smiles at me. "C3I, who can I help?"
I smile back. "I don't know,but I think you're freinds miss you, Numbah Three."
Having completed my work, I leave. I pass One and Two in the hall. As I reach the elevator, I call back to them, "Don't press the matter, but Three shoould be fine."
And then as I walk out, I spot Cree and Abby. "Eleven. Five." Cree glares, but Abby smiles.
"C3I, whatta you doen' here?"
I open the door and wave back, "Say hi to Three for me!"
I step out in the sun, and find 44 waiting for me.
I stop for no one, but I give her a friendly wave, "Mission Accomplished!" And head home.
Numbah Threee, aka Kuki Sanban. She isn't back to normal yet, but I wouldn't worry.
I get a call from five later that week. Wallabee Beetles passed away in his sleep. And as sad as it was, Three didn't regress. In fact, she was at the Beetles home the next morings, asking Mr. Beetles if there was anything she could help him with. I heard from a friend of a friend of a friend, that he said she was a huge help, and he was very grateful.
~~~So, anybody gonna kill me? I'm not done yet, so hold on!
