That weekend, the Boy Scout troop pulled up at Camp Conestoga and began to set up. The troop supplied tents for scouts to sleep in, but they were allowed to bring their own. Numbuhs 1 and 2 took advantage of this and brought a tent of their own, built with a parascope with night vision, a two-way radio system, a listening system for spying, and anything else a KND operative might need in case of an emergency.
That night, Numbuh 2 peeked through the parascope, looking around the campsite. "See anything?" Numbuh 1 asked.
"Nothing much, really," 'the Doofus' replied. "I see some scouts preparing for bed, some more putting out the fire, and there's the cleanup group cleaning up the last of the dishes from our supper... Maybe it was just my imagination."
"You can't be too careful, Numbuh 2," 'the Leader' stated.
Numbuh 2 yawned, and said, "Can we go to sleep now?"
Numbuh 1 sighed. "Very well," he said.
Back at KND HQ, Numbuh 5 paced back and fourth. She wasn't about to go to sleep.
Numbuh 3 walked by and noticed this. "What's wrong?" she asked.
'The Quiet One' sighed. "Numbuh 5's worried about Numbuh 1 and Numbuh 2," she said.
"What do you mean," 'the Flirt' asked.
"What if something bad happens on their mission?"
"Like what?"
"Like they get caught and this Jones character does something bad to them."
"Wouldn't they have called?"
"You never know, Numbuh 3. They might not be able to reach their radio."
Numbuh 3 giggled, and said, "Oh, stop worrying, Numbuh 5!"
Numbuh 5 sighed, "Easier said than done," she said.
DanMat6288: Hi, everyone!
Numbuh 1: Since when did you start writing these?
DanMat6299: I saw other author's doing them, and I thought it looked like fun! You know, Larry asked me that very same question in "File Share Chaos"!
Numbuh 2: Why didn't you put one in the beginning?
DanMat6299: The beginning? Oops!
Numbuh 1: [sigh] Authors.
Numbuh 2: Please review.
