(A/N: I am not going to end it in this chapter. I finally convinced Numbuhs' 1, 2, and 5 to do a silly chapter about tracking the Sanbans down! HOORAY!)
CHAPTER 7
Shopping Lists Can Be Codes
"Numbuh 1!" said Numbuh 5. "How's the tracking coming along?"
"This is fabulous!" screamed Numbuh 1. "The scan is done!"
"What?" said Numbuh 5. "But I thought it took a week!"
"It happens to be that the Tracking Device got an upgrade!" said the over-excited leader. "It takes only 2 days to track, and it's been 2 days since we started! I'm ready!"
The Tracking Device said, "You wanted to track Kani Sanban, Genki Sanban, and Mushi Sanban."
"Yes, YES!" said Numbuh 1.
"There is no one in the world named Kani Sanban, Genki Sanban, or Mushi Sanban," said the tracking device.
"WHAT!" said Numbuhs' 1 and 5. They woke up Numbuh 2, who was supposed to be helping them.
"Why did you wake me up?" asked the tired American.
"We woke you up because we screamed, What, because the Tracking Device said that no one in the world was named Kani Sanban, Genki Sanban, or Mushi Sanban!"
"WHAT!" yelled Numbuh 2.
"Exactly!" yelled Numbuhs' 1 and 5.
"Whadda we do now?" asked Numbuh 2. "How are we going to find them?"
"I don't know, Numbuh 2," said Numbuh 1. "They obviously changed their names so we couldn't track them down!"
"Wait!" said Numbuh 5. "Maybe there's a clue in the note they put on the fridge!"
"Good idea, Numbuh 5," said Numbuh 1. "Numbuh 2, hand me the note!" Numbuh 2 handed him the note. "Guys, look at this!" he said. The note had 3 papers attached to the back of the note! Numbuh 5 read them.
"Milk, eggs, bread, Cookies, apples, and root beer," said Numbuh 5 reading the fist paper.
"Well, that was a bust," said Numbuh 2. "It's just a shopping list.
"Wait!" said Numbuh 5. "Maybe it's a code! Meb Carb! Tracker, can you tell me if there is a Meb Carb in the world?"
"Yes I can," said the Tracker.
"Can you tell me now?" asked the French teen.
"Yes," said the Tracker. "There is a Meb Carb in the world, along with her family, Bob Carb, and Iva Carb."
"Bread, oysters, biscuits, Cake, artichoke, ribs, and beans!" said Numbuh 5. "Bob Carb! Ice, veal, avocado, Coffee, apples, ribs, and berries! Iva Carb! Tracker, how long will it take to track them down?"
"2 days," said the Tracker.
"It's better than nothing," said Numbuh 5. "Let's get our rest, and wait for 2 days so we can figure out where the "Carbs" are hiding" The others agreed. They all went to bed.
