Well this is the second chapter. Some of the unanswered questions
will be answered in this chapter! (I thinkā¦.)
Everyone stared in confusion as the girl put a black and red book on the podium. "I found this book less than four hours ago here at moon base." She said in her monotone voice. The crowd erupted with angry voices. "Get off the stage!" "What do you know about anything!" "Traitor!" was just some of the things operatives said, yet she stood there like nothing was happening.
"Numbuh 88 please continue." Numbuh 362 spoke up over the angry voices. She nodded as she flipped through the pages of the book. As soon as she found the page she held the book up so that everyone could see it.
" In 1915 the same darkness swept over the United States, Canada, and other countries." Numbuh 88 said while showing everyone the picture. In the picture houses were torn down, and the earth was cracked in many places. The bodies of animals and people were seen throughout streets, parking lots, restaurants, and fields. The same thick gray clouds were hovering over the town. The picture wasn't as bad as the video clips, but they were still hard to look at.
"This incident was never put in history books, or talked about because it was unexplainable." She said while closing the book.
"The government tried it's best to hide it by acting like nothing ever happened." Numbuh 362 examined the book.
"This is good information but it still doesn't explain what the creatures are." she said giving the book back to girl.
"But it should give you enough information to think of a plan." finally 362 got it and began to think of an idea. Numbuh 88 returned to her seat as Numbuh 362 talked to some head operatives to come up with a good reliable plan. An hour had passed by and everyone was talking about what the creatures could be, except those who were too upset to talk. Mainly Numbuh 3. She had been crying nonstop into Numbuh 4's hoody, reality had hit hard. He tried his best not to look at her for obvious reasons but was finding that hard to do. Even if the KND made it through this he knew that she would never be the same. She would look at the world from a different perspective, trying to find all of its faults.
About two hours later Numbuh 362 made an announcement.
" We need all operatives that are in charge of 2x4 technology for their sector to report to the fifth level of moon base." Right after she said that Numbuh 65.3 whispered something in her ear.
"Oh as for the rest of you, um you guys can get mentally and physically prepared on the second level of moon base." With that said the auditorium began to filter out as everyone did what he or she was told. Everyone had left except for Numbuh 88. She clutched the book in her hand and seemed to be staring into space. Sometimes Numbuh 362 wondered what she was thinking about all the time. The weirdest part of all was that she seemed to appear out of thin air. There were no memory files about her training in the artic base, so when the time came for her to graduate she had no other choice but to keep her at moon base to do a simple filing
job. It was a waste of potential but she had no other choice.
"Numbuh 88 is everything o.k.?" asked Numbuh 362 genuinely. She looked at her with a dazed expression but didn't say anything. She got up and slowly walked out the door leaving Numbuh 362 concerned.
"OH, CRUD" Wally yelled as entered the second level of moon base. His shirt was stained with tears from Kuki crying and he looked like he was about to explode.
"What does she expect to do here for TEN HOURS!" He screamed trying to get Abby's attention. She just sat there drinking a soda, completely ignoring him.
"HELLO, is anyone in there!"
"Numbuh 5 says ya stop yelling in her ear and relax." he stared at her blankly.
"When the time comes for us to fight we have to be calm and prepared." She said as if the answer was obvious. Wally sat down and put his head in his hands as he began to talk.
"I can't believe this is really happening, if hit Europe already that means it must of hit Australia right?" she was silent.
"I have family that still lives in Australia!" Abby was shocked to say the least.
"You actually knew Paris was in Europe!" she said sitting up in her seat. His face was starting to turn red.
"YES I DID!" if there was anything he couldn't stand it was being called stupid. He preferred to think of it as being a little slow on some subjects.
"Numbuh 5 don't know if it hit Australia or not, and if it did all we can do is stop it." He nodded and got up out of his seat.
"Where are you going?"
"To find Numbuh 3, she was really shook up after she saw those video clips." a small smile appeared on Abby's face.
"So are ya finally going to admit that ya have a thing for her?" he could feel the heat rising to his face. Wally still couldn't figure out how she knew about his crush on Kuki. Was it really that obvious?
"No I'm just going to see if she's alright."
"You should tell her soon because the way things are looking, the world might not last long enough for you to wait.
Numbuh 2 just came out of the room that Numbuh 362 was explaining her plan in. He felt like it was good plan, at least it made sense. As he went up to the snack machine to get a candy bar he noticed someone was behind him. When he turned around Numbuh 88 was standing there staring at him with those lifeless eyes.
"Uh, h-h-h-hey Numbuh 88." She just stood there staring. This girl was really starting to freak him out; everything about her was just unexplainable. He turned to leave when she stopped him.
"You knew something bad was going to happen didn't you?" she asked with no signs of emotion on her face. Hoagie just turned around and looked at her.
"I guess, kind of, maybe."
"Having a sixth sense comes in handy doesn't it." He backed away trying his best not to look scared.
"Just because I had a feeling that it would happen doesn't mean I have a sixth sense."
"Denial." Hoagie looked around the room noticing people were staring at them. He looked back at Numbuh 88 who was still staring at him. 'Why is she so weird?' he wondered to himself 'I can tell that she's hiding something though' just then she walked closer to him.
"Curiosity killed the cat." She said in her low monotone voice, then she smiled and walked away leaving Hoagie shaking and scared.
Well there you go! PLEASE review
