Disclaimer: Well... again... I do not own kids next door.
Chapter 5
The delightful children had been in the tree house for a week now. They helped with the chores and kept the place clean. The rest of the group hadn't returned from vacation yet. Nigel was worried because he knew what impression the others would get if they saw their worst enemies in their headquarters, considering the "Lenny incident". He sighed and sat down, thinking. The delightful children weren't inside. They had been out all day shopping.
'I never thought the delightful children did things all by themselves… they're acting so weird' He stood up and started pacing up and down the room. He stopped suddenly, pondering about things. 'Maybe… this is a trick. It wouldn't be hard to imagine Father telling his kids to act "normal" and try to get into the tree house… but the question remaining was why had he done it?
Numbers two through five were now camping ion a forest. Their parents had decided to spend some more time on vacation.
"I hope numbah one is doing ok," numbah two said.
"Yeah, he's all alone in the tree house, but… he hasn't said anything, so I think he's ok," numbah five said trying to start a fire.
"You know… it's weird," numbah two said.
"What's weird?" numbah five glanced at him.
"No one has attacked the tree house recently."
"Hm… you know, you're right, do you think we should go check it out?"
They remained silent for a minute.
"Nah," they said at the same time.
Nigel heard footsteps. 'I suppose the Delightful Children are back' Nigel thought stepping out of his room.
"Hello, Nigel," he heard five familiar voices behind him.
He merely waved, still deep in thoughts. Suddenly the phone rang. Nigel ran to answer it.
"Hello?"
"Hey, numbah one!" numbah five's voice sounded through the telephone.
"Uh… hello numbah five," he said nervously. "What's up?"
"Well, numbah one, we're going back, the adults here are going crazy. Numbah five's tired of this!" she said in her usual cool voice.
"I… I see. Well, see you later," he sighed as he hung up.
"What's the matter, Nigel?" the delightful children said.
"Nothing that might concern you," he muttered.
They shrugged and started walking to the kitchen.
'What am I going to say to the rest of the team…?'

Cuiasodo, I like it when people tell me about my mistakes, I think they are very short, too. Why did they steal the Code Module? You'll find out soon. Anyway, thanks for the review, and as I said, I hope to update soon.
