Chapter 19- A Delightful Surprise
Thank you, for all the reviews! I love you all! I have to wear HEAD GEAR! But that's a different story. I have to let go of Rika, she and I are now so spiteful to each other that she doesn't help me in any way towards my stories, the things I need most work on! My mouth hurts. Oh well... Hope you enjoy!
Rated for violence, cussing, and kissing scenes...

Hoagie and Wally exited the room, looking very proud for unknown reasons. They all said their goodbyes now to both Abby and her parents. It was late night, and all was calm...Err, not exactly.
I hope she didn't tell them... Keiko's mind raced. No... No, she wouldn't. I trust her enough to not do that. She has enough common sense to not tell... Yes... Not tell... Oh no! What if the government finds out about her! They'll take me away again and change my identity! Wait...they wouldn't find me! They don't know where I am! I ran away from the government and only—HE KNOWS! ACK! The police officer! The car driver! Or, whoever he is! God, help me! He'll tell them all and take me away. Hopefully they don't know exactly where I am.
The four kids made their pilgrimage to their "heaven on earth" otherwise known as the tree house. Sure it was known as heaven but it was located in hell. All was silent. Not a thing was moving.
The kids thought it was too quiet.
...Silence...
"I wonder if we have anything in the fridge..." Hoagie said suddenly.
If this was an anime, everyone would've either sweat-dropped or fell to the floor anime style. They all had glared at him instead.
"This is not the time to be thinking about food, Numbuh 2!" Nigel yelled.
Hoagie looked quite scared as he gave his reply. "Well, I'm sorry Numbuh 1, but I had to break the silence. It was killing everyone!"
Nigel sighed. "Yes, I suppose you're right... Let's go..."
They trudged on. From the bushes a voice was heard, then another.
"Kids shouldn't be playing in the dark..."
"You are right, it's well past midnight and they are still up and about..."
"Should we teach them?"
"No."
"And why not? Wait—is that—is that her?"
"Yes."
"Then we shall strike!"
"No."
The other voice growled. But they knew not to get the other mad. They simply watched from their position at the children towards the tree house.
The woman's dark eyes glared. The man glanced at her, quite scared. It was the first time this ever happened.
"I despise her..." escaped her lips.
"I thought so."
Wally thought he heard something in the bushes. His head swiftly made a turn to them. Nothing. His imagination was running wild.
Slowly, they made their way to the main room, where all of their rooms connected. A silhouette of people was made in the darkness. Something was in the way of letting them rest. Wally turned on the lights. Five children, that seemed very lost, stood in the middle, scared.
Nigel gave a soft gasp. The five looked terrified.
"No! No! Don't harm us!" the called.
Hoagie called now. "Delightful Children From Down the Lane, how are we supposed to not kick you out?"
The one in front, blonde boy, sighed.
"I told you, brothers and sisters, that they would not help us..."
Keiko took a step forward. She wanted to help them now. Something was wrong said a voice in her head.
"Wait, Keiko, you don't know what these five could do..." Nigel stated. "They—"
"Are A) the Kids Next Door's arch-enemies and B) are capable of having giant machines or robots to destroy us all..." Keiko finished. She let out a bland scream (like in the episode of Spongebob "The Fry Cook Games" when the big "scary" guy screams after Spongebob and Patrick does).
Nigel raised an eyebrow. Hoagie scratched his head. Wally, on the other hand, smirked.
Nigel questioned, "How'd you know that?"
She shrugged before turning to the Delightfuls. "I saw the files. I have secrets, you know."
"And how exactly did you get into the files?" Nigel asked.
Simply ignoring the question she said to the Delightfuls, "So, what are you five doing here?"
"We ask for assistance," was their answer.
"Hm, is that so?" Nigel asked them now, not bothering Keiko now. "How did you get past the security?"
"We simply walked in."
Nigel looked at them questioningly. He could've sworn he put on security lock on before exiting.
"No break-ins? No computer hacking?"
They shook their heads. He then shrugged, letting it slide. He sighed now, his imagination was running again.
Hoagie asked, "So, what do you need us for?"
They looked like they were going to answer but the brown-haired girl exclaimed, "To save us from Father! He's a maniac!" The others glared at her now.
The three KND members looked shocked and Keiko looking sympathetic. The Delightfuls had put on a straight face, although you could tell they were scared.
Their heads turned to Keiko, making her uncomfortable.
"Who's she? I thought that you didn't have another member after that 'Numbuh 3' left," They said.
Wally, getting annoyed, stepped forward. "Just tell us what we need to do!"
They sighed and all muttered something. They looked at him in eyes that he never thought would come from them. No longer had they the hollow blue eyes, but sad and scared shining eyes. The front blonde boy had taken out a tape from who-knows-where-behind-his-back.
"We brought a tape to show you."
The KND popped it in the VCR. Keiko's eyes grew wide when it came through.

Um, very short chapter, I know. Something's wrong with it, but I don't know what. And I can't say it's pointless, cause it's an important chapter. The crappy thing. This is what I hate about my works. You know what?! DCFDTL. Lenny and Father are the only ones known. F=Father, L=Lenny. Could the rest of the Delightfuls names be part of it? Or I could just be wrong, on account they already have names...
That's me
