Chapter 20- Goodbye for Good
Chapter 20, finally here! Wow first, I'd like to say thanks, reviewers! Ok, this may not be the last chapter, but we're getting there!!! REALLY getting there... I just love updating! See what vacation has done to me?! I know it's been only, what, four days, but hey! I cannot resist! Most of you think the DCFDTL acronym is possible and some think differently. It's ok! I'm just here to share my theories/opinions! Well, hope you enjoy the chapter!
Rated for violence, cussing, and kissing scenes...

Along with everyone else, the Delightfuls watched sullenly. Of course, most parts they either looked at each other or looked down to the floor.
The tall brown haired boy sat on the couch along with Lenny. While the other three sat in front of the couch on the floor. The KND and Keiko sat on the other couch. Nigel leaning on the arm rest, Hoagie slouched, and Keiko hanging onto Wally's arm, feeling very uncomfortable.
Father was in fetal position. His hands clutching his hair. He was grunting and muttering.
"Kill...Love...Old friends...Enemies...Kyley...return..."
The tape paused on that spot. All the non-Delightfuls turned to the five, or, to be more specific, the blonde boy holding the remote.
"Kyley was our Mother. She died, and after she did, his sanity did too," the boy started. "He became so bent on kids, the reason our mother died (please, don't ask) that he turned on them and made us like adults. That is why we have become your, err, enemies."
The others didn't say a word and turned to the screen once more.
"Fadey stop!"
Father turned to the speaker (which was off-screen because the camera could only take so much on only one spot). He faced the floor again, clutching something.
"Fadey, Tad, stop, please..."
In his Devilish voice, he replied, "Leave me alone! You have no reason to stay here! Go back to your search and I shall go...go where Kyley is..."
He held up what he was clutching, a rather shiny dagger. He held it over his chest, but he stopped.
"What are you doing?"
"I need to release myself..."
"Killing yourself ISN'T THE ANSWER!!!"
Father stopped and dropped to the floor once more. The dagger fell...and so did his pipe.
"You have kids, you know... Don't die because of worthless children. I have a child too, and yes, she is the worst I have seen... But I'm not killing myself for it..."
There was a long pause but the man off-screen spoke again.
"I'm going to kill her."
Father had now stood up, with the pipe back in his mouth.
He seemed to be smirking when he returned with, "Well, let's do the job then... Let's kill all those worthless children."
"Now you're speaking my language... But first...do you want to kill your children?"
"Yes."
"Good..."
They conversed a bit and the tape (and they) was still rolling. (The kids still couldn't see their faces.)
The other man started now... "You have to promise me one thing, kill my daughter first..."
"Fine, just give me coordinates..."
"Ok... She's staying there..." He pointed to a paper he took out.
Father had enjoyed this news. "Well, it seems that we'll have to kill more than just her there..."
"Why?"
"I have 'issues' to take care of."
"Well, she won't know what hit her. She isn't expecting me. Hell, she hasn't seen me in a year so I don't expect her to be ready when you attack, ok?"
"Fine... Could I use weapons?"
"Get as much fucking weapons you like, I don't care. Just as long as you do the job."
Father seemed to ponder and then said, "Hm... if you want her dead so much, what did the mother say?"
"She's dead. After they 'moved' away, I immediately tracked her down and crashed her car, turning it over the bridge. The government doesn't take good care of their Witness Protection Program people."
"Hm, true, true..."
Keiko now widened her eyes in fear. The daughter they were talking about. They were talking about her. She was the one being tracked down. She was going to be killed. And Father was going to kill the Delightfuls and the KND! It all made sense.
She stuttered. "I, uh...have to go, err, u-use the, ah, b-bathroom!"
She ran out of the room like a bullet. All kids' eyes were focused on her as she left. But it went back to the screen. Hoagie, on the other hand, had his eyes set on the door she exited with.
She's not coming back, I feel it...
Wally was thinking the same thing, only he had a little hope in his mind.
Now everyone was watching the screen.
No, no, no, no, NO! He just can't find me! I've been what they were searching for all along... They're out to kill me...and the others... Poor Delightfuls, having their father kill them! Poor me, for having my father killing me! Crap, what am I to do?
Her mind raced as she stuffed the last of her clothing into her yellow backpack. She scribbled down a note to give to Abby. She also quickly wrote a note to the others.
Dear Numbuh 5,
Yes, you were the only one who knew. That's why I am telling you all this. I am leaving, and nothing is going to stop me. The reason for this is because my father, the reason I went into WPP, has found me, and out to get me. I fear your safety, and always know if at least one of your parents is there. Or at least a doctor. You were the greatest friend ever. I will miss you. However, I shouldn't complain too much or I'll not want to go. You understand why I am leaving, correct? Good bye!
With love,
Kuki Sanban, Numbuh 3, and Keiko Lee, all who love you
Keiko stuffed the note in an envelope that said "Numbuh 5" and she wrote a quick "Good bye" note to the others. She grabbed her backpack and clawed the handle of the door. She gave a last glance at her room, and stormed out.
She took the back way to make sure no one saw her. But she was wrong.
A certain blonde Australian saw her leave, not going to let her go.

Well, that sure was interesting. Hope you liked the fic... Oh, and Fadey is pronounced "FAH-dee" meaning Father in Ukrainian, also, it's the Ukrainian way to say "Tad". Don't ask, I'm just big on names!
That's me
