Author's Notes :: Er well heres Chapter 3 as you requested,And oh BTW..I know Numbuh 4 wouldn't call Numbuh 3 a "baby".I'm not perfect y'know,I don't have that great of memory..I can't remember Numbuh 4's character that well,I'm trying to though and I seem to be failing at it. Anyway I'm glad you like the story but I still find myself failing to put the characters in their rightful places,Personality wise.

Chapter Three: Tears Of Pain

=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

Numbuh 4's eyes opened after somewhile,Still sitting alone in the darkness.He didn't belong here and he knew it,Grabbing a small knap sack stuffing a couple pairs of clothes in it he slung it over his shoulder and headed towards the window.He was going to leave,He didn't want to be held "hostage" by these people anymore.Numbuh 3's words still imprinted in his mind,Shaking off the weary feeling,He opened the window and climbed up onto the ledge.

"It wasn't like you to say sorry...I never knew you...."

Numbuh 4 thought as he turned around and leapt from the sill landing roughly on the ground below.Pain shooting through his entire body,He didn't care though.Not now atleast.Looking once back at the top window he stood up dusting himself off,He took one last look at the tree house before continuing towards the side walk,A pang of guilt stinging his heart.

"I'm Sorry....."

Numbuh 4 whispered,Not looking back at the tree house as he soon took off into the city,Probably to God knows where.

=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

The door of Numbuh 4's room creaked open.

"Numbuh 4,I Just came to check on you....-"

Numbuh 3's voice could be heard as she pushed the door all the way open,Her mouth fell open in silent horror as the small tray with food she had brought for him fell from her hands clattering on the wooden floor.There was no one in the room..Mr.Snuggykins layed there against the pillow,Untouched.

"W-Where did he go?"

Numbuh 3 whispered silently as she stepped over the clutter that littered the room's floor,A look of worry crossing her now pale face,It was something she didn't expect.A shakey hand reached out and plucked up Mr.Snuggykins before pulling the soft,brown bear close.

Tears now shimmering in her lilac orbs,She turned and silently walked from the room closing the door behind her.Crystalline tears falling over her pale face as she walked down the hallway,He was gone.Truly gone.Was he kidnapped?Was He hiding? Or did He just vanish?

Questions were spinning around in Numbuh 3's mind,She wasn't sure.There was no note there,Nothing.Everything seemed normal...Except Numbuh 4 was missing from the picture.

In the main room of the tree house,Numbuhs 2 and 1 were competing against each other at video games when they noticed a very sad looking Numbuh 3 standing in the doorway,Her hands clutched a little too tightly around a teddy bear.

"Whats wrong with you,Numbuh 3?"

Numbuh 3 was trying to find her voice but it was too hard,Just too hard.She looked at the two KND members as Numbuh 1 lifted his virtual reality helmet.The small teddy bear clutched in 3's hand was instantly torn in two.

"He....He's GONE!!!!!"

Numbuh 3 shouted before busting into tears,Numbuhs 1 and 2 sent her a very confused look as Numbuh 1 stood up,The virtual reality helmet clattering on the wooden floor.

"Who's gone?"

Numbuh 1 asked stepping over to the rapidly sobbing Numbuh 3,Numbuh 3 sniffled wiping away some tears with the sleeve of her green sweater.

"Numbuh 4."

Was all Numbuh 3 said,The sunglasses falling from Numbuh 1's face as they clattered on the floor.Numbuh 2's mouth hung open,Dry.

"But...How can that be?He was strapped down!"

Numbuh 1 shouted as he took off towards Numbuh 4's room,His heart pumping wildly.It couldn't be true of what Numbuh 3 had just told him.

"It was a Lie...I know it was...!"

Numbuh 1 thought as he was speeding towards Numbuh 4's bedroom door.His heart pumping wildly as the door swung open,Breathing hard he noticed there was no one there.Anger filling his soul that instant..Mixed with confusion.

"But....How could that be?"

He whispered as Numbuhs 3 and 2 looked at him,They had just caught up.

Tears shimmering in Numbuh 3's eyes,Tears of pain.A pain that loomed in her heart.

=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

"I could've pretended that your real..."

Numbuh 4 thought staring into the sky,He had come a long ways from the tree house.Shaking off the feeling of "guilt" that riddled his soul,He turned on his way and disappeared into the city hoping that his memory might come back to him.

"I Don't Know."

Numbuh 2 muttered as he looked at Numbuh 1's disdained expression,Everything had happened so fast but it wasn't fast enough.Numbuh 3 was hiding her tears with the sleeve of her green sweater.

"I miss you already...."

She thought silently as she shook her head and started to walk away to her bedroom,Pondering the recent events.Not that,That would help her any.

"I don't get it,It's not possible for anyone to escape those bounds..."

Numbuh 1 muttered shaking his head,Numbuh 2 shrugged.

"Whats all the commotion now?"

Numbuhs 1 and 2 whirred around to see Numbuh 5 standing in the door looking at them.

"Um,Nothing,Numbuh 5."

"Doesn't look like nothing to Numbuh 5."

Numbuh 5 muttered as Numbuh 1 sighed and pushed past Numbuhs 5 and 2.

"Whats his problem?"

Numbuh 5 asked as Numbuh 2 just shrugged,Even he didn't know what exactly was wrong.

End Of Chapter Three

Note: Well theres Chapter Three,I hope you liked it. I still need to get the characters in order,Anyway please let me know when you want Chapter Four.I'll try to get Numbuh 4 perfect when he's back to normal.::shrugs:: Of course that's probably 98 chapters away by now anyway.
