Hello and welcome to my third chapter. I just wanted to say thank you everybody for the reviews, it made me happy so you all deserve a hug! (You are being hugged right now) Well, enough of that. Here is a reminder to everybody—this story will be switching from Numbuh four's story and Numbuh four's confession. This is just so you know what is being said. I hope you all enjoy!

Disclaimer: I do not own Kids Next Door.

"Joy and Pain"

When I finally reached the bottom step of the staircase, I adjusted my backpack to make sure no one would be curious of why I was carrying a backpack during summer vacation.

I walked towards the Kids Next Door boardroom, and bathroom. I just needed to pass the kitchen and I was home free.

"Good morning Wally." Kuki greeted me as I walked past.

"Morning." I smiled and grabbed an orange out of the fruit basket.

Numbuh three stared at me.

"Are you not hungry? I'm about to make some pancakes, or what they say on TV, hotcakes!"

I shook my head "No"

She seemed like she was lonely. She kept questioning me.

"Where are you going then?"

"No where I'm just gonna catch some air." I began to peel the orange.

"I'll come with you…" she pulled herself out of the seat she was sitting in and blocked the door.

"NO!"

She stared at me with a confused look. Before she said another word I cut in, "Kooks, it's a surprise. I have to go out and look for a gift."

Numbuh three smiled. "You're always thinking of someone before yourself…I like that."

I smiled fakely. Honestly, I felt horrible lying to her. But I didn't want to blow my cover, if she knew she would tell Numbuh one...it was the rules.

More guilt laid in my head, but I was still on the move.

As soon as I stepped out the Kids Next Door treehouse, I felt something—I felt as if I was free. Free to roam the streets however I pleased without anyone knowing I was a Knd member.

I breathed in the air and stared blankly at the other side of the street.

The bus was there picking up a few people.

I smiled inside. That was my calling.

The bus paused for a few seconds and began to move. I was about to miss my ride!

"EY! Wait for me!" I screamed and waved my hands as I followed the bus.

Finally the bus stopped, I jumped in with the very little strength in me.

"Sorry fellow I didn't see you." The bus driver apologized and motioned me to take a seat.

Quickly I searched for a seat that wasn't taken and a seat that was close to the window.

Luckily, I found one.

As soon as I sat down I grabbed Jeno's note and reread it. Downtown then left? His directions weren't all that clear.

"On the way Downtown." The busdriver sang as she adjusted her mirror.

We were almost there. I began to feel curious about my task was it gonna be easy? The missions I did for Knd was pretty hard, so this must be pie! I hope.

I looked outside the window. We were passing many buildings: malls, grocery stores, pizza joints, and banks.

"Here we are. Downtown!" she shouted through her bus microphone.

I grabbed my backpack and followed behind a few people to reach the bus exit. As I walked out, I thanked the lady for the ride. She smiled and replied with a "No problem."

It felt new to me. I thanked an adult. If only my team knew…I could be nice if I wanted to. But I guess it was just the missions that anger me.

When I jumped off the bus I grabbed Jeno's note and stared at it. Downtown then left…

The bus finally drove off and cleared my view of the other side of the street.

There he was…Jeno was standing right there.

Confession

"You thanked an adult? What has Jeno done to you!" Numbuh one joked.

When he said this I found it be offensive, I mean I can be nice, even if I don't show it to many people it was true.

Numbuh one re-adjusted his face to be serious, and stuck the tape recorder in my face.

"Make sure to give me a good description of him…we can try to track him down."

I nodded. "I'll try."

End of Confession

As I stared at him I noticed him to be alittle taller than usual. His dark brown hair was slicked back, and he was wearing a leather jacket and leather boots. And let's not forget the cigarette in his mouth.

I came towards him. "You Jeno?"

The slick looking fellow took a puff of his cigarette. "That 'pends. Who's a wanting to know?"

I extended my hand out towards him, "I'm Wallabee. So where's this task?" Jeno smirked and snapped his fingers…not trying to shake my hand.

"Yes Wallabee, I was expecting you. You want to know where your task is? Well, it's behind me."

I looked to where he snapped at.

It was a pre-school.

"What do you want me to do here?"

Jeno chuckled and took another puff before his cigarette let out.

"As you can see…I'm not very fond of little kids, they're too jumpy and happy. I HATE THOSE TYPES OF PEOPLE!"

"Okay…" I didn't really think that was a good reason to hate somebody, but that's him.

"Watch and you might learn." He threw his cigarette bud to the floor and stepped on it.

"That's what I want you to do."

I stared at him blankly. "Throw a cigarette at them?"

Jeno started to chuckle with steadiness, "You kidding me? You some kindof kidder…I don't like people with jokes, you got me?"

I wasn't even joking

"Yea I got you."

"Good. I'll see you around." He replied as he handed me a match.

I stared at the match he placed in my hand. "What is this—"

When I looked up he was no where to be found.

What did he want me to do with a match?

I stared at the Pre-School and stared back down at the match. What did he want me to do?

Suddenly I remembered he gave me an example…with his cigarette. He threw it at the ground and stomped

On it…my heart dropped. He couldn't. He wouldn't.

It was then I knew what he wanted me to do.

Confession

I shut my eyes, trying to forget what happened next. I knew I had to…but it was too horrible.

"Numbuh four, it's okay. You don't have to say what happened next…I already know."

I stomped my feet. "No it's not okay! I killed those kids. I did it…I started that fire. The fire you guys heard on the news when I came back home that day. It was me." I started crying uncontrollably.

Numbuh one shut his eyes, as if he to was going to cry.

"I have to tell you…I promised I would tell you everything. Even if it hurts me or stains me for life. It

can't EVER hurt more than what I did to those kids or the other things I done for him."

Numbuh one nodded. "I understand."

End of Confession

I struck the match against my shoe. When the flames grew they were bright and rapid, just like my heart was feeling right now.

Before I let the match slip from my fingers I said in a small whisper "I'm so sorry."

The match hit the grass and lit up faster than ever. It was already making its way to the pre-school.

Quickly and silently I walked away…not ever going to look back.

That was chapter three. I kindof cried when I wrote this…it was very strong. I thought it was sad because Numbuh four's not really a person to cry and when he does it made me sad. I just wanted to apologize for the drug usage and the violence. I hope you enjoyed my story and maybe even let out some tears. Please review, I hope to hear from you. I hope to see you at Chapter four.

NO PRE-SCHOOLERS WERE HURT DURING THE MAKING OF THIS STORY!
