Note from M - Hey guys. I'm SO sorry for now updateing in SO LONG! I've had a hu-ge writer's block for a couple months and it's been driving me insane. Thank you so much James for helping me. I hope this chapter is somewhat good. If not, constructive criticism is allowed. I also want to do one more chappie, so stay tuned but enjoy this one!

Kuki reached out to grab George, even though he was already gone. Like the teenagers. Her hands shot up to her mouth, as tears trickled down her face. She wanted to scream, but nothing escaped her mouth. Nigel walked up to her, not saying anything. But instead, wrapped his arms around her, not letting go. She buried her face into his chest, and sobbed gently. The rest of the team was silent as well. Even Wally had a sad expression on his face, for George. The school sounded so empty and eerie. Nigel let his chin rest gently ontop of her head, soothingly.

Nigel slammed his fist down on the podium, while the team sat down on the couch-ish type thing. They were silent and staring at Numbuh 1, ready for anything he might say.

"Well team.." He said quietly. Kuki hugged her pink Rainbow Monkey for comfort, but didn't say a word. Abby sat back, with her arms behind her head.

"Where do we even begin to start? Where could they possibly be?" She asked. Hoagie blinked.

"I know where." He said. Nigel blinked back.

"Where?"

"Well.. to make a long story short, I know where Cree likes to hang out. And Chad probably is her new lap dog, so he probably goes there, too. She likes to hang out at the Snackbar, down on 25th and Blondo." He said, not wanting to bring up his Hank-ness and him going to the food place with Cree. Nigel nodded.

"Good work, Numbuh 2! Let's MOVE OUT!" He said. The team scattered, gathering their weapons and whatever needed to retrieve George!

Cree slurped her smoothie, watching Chad fumble with the wrapper of his candy bar. Raising an eyebrow, she didn't even want to ask.. And why did he take that stupid egg? It was just sitting there in the box, as if it had no purpose.

"What are you gon' do about this egg?" She asked, flicking the box, then slurping her smoothie again. Chad was gnawing on the wrapper when she asked that. He glanced to it.

"Uhm.. probably keep it to make that Number 3 girl cry." He snickered, then ripped off the wrapper with his teeth. Chad bit a chunk off. Cree yawned, bored out of her mind. The door opened to the snack bar, but she didn't bother to look. Suddenly, something smacked her in the back off the head. Slowly, turning around on her stool, she eyed whoever threw whatever it was. Before Cree could even say anything, thousands of gumballs shot at her and Chad.

"It's those kids!" Chad cried. Cree stood up, as her fighting suit covered her. Sector V burst in the room, fireing as much ammo as possible. Nigel stopped shooting, and eyed the box upon the counter. He grinned, and disappeared underneath the counter. Chad grabbed a stupifying gun from his backpack that was laying against the counter. Kuki glanced around for Nigel, as she shot off her Teddy Bears from her gun. But he was no where to be found. Nigel's hand found it's way up, searching for the box. Suddenly, he heard a blast and he felt his hand go numb.

"So! This is what you're wanting, huh?!" Chad said, picking up the box with George in it. Nigel lept out from underneath the counter, before realizing his hand was stupyfied! While Cree was busy with Abby, Hoagie and Wally, Kuki joined Nigel.

"Give us back George!" She cried. Chad rose his eyebrow.

"This egg has a name? Pitiful. Well if you want it, why don't you just come and get it?" He asked. Nigel rolled his eyes.

"Uh, Hello! that's what I was trying to do!" He said. Chad smirked.

"I mean, from me!" He said. Nigel glanced to Kuki. On her eyes, he could see how much she cared for that crummy egg. And it seemed to mean a lot to her. Nigel glared, much hatred towards his old friend.. But it simply had to be done. Nigel ran up to Chad, and rammed his stupified hand as hard as her possibly could into his stomach. Chad's eyes filled with pain, as he bent over, the box leaving his trembling hands. Nigel caught the box, and grinned.

"Now.. next time you want to steal something, don't steal it from the Kids Next Door!" He cried. Kuki cheered. It seemed the battle was over. Cree yawned looking at Abby.

"C'mon little Abby. Will you just stop trying? We're fighting over an egg.. you can have it. Until next time." She smirked. Abby sneered at her.

"Scared you're gonna lose?" She asked. Cree shook her head and sneered back.

"No."

"Come on Numbuh 5. We're leaving." Nigel said.

On the ship, Kuki had never been so happy. She hugged that little egg as hard as she could, without cracking it.

"George!! I'm so sorry! I promise I will never ever let anything bad happen to you ever again!" She cried, squealing with delight. Nigel smiled, feeling.. extremely happy and proud. Him and Kuki were better friends then they were a couple days ago. And it felt awesome.
