Chapter Two
Milan, Italy
Abigail Lincoln was wiping a table at the café she worked at when she heard the familiar tinkle when someone came into the building- the bell was getting on her nerves. She watched as a tall brunette lady with a camera came into the café and she inwardly groaned. Tourist, Abigail assumed. She hated them, when she signed up for the FBI she didn't think she would be doing this. Unfortunately for Abigail she sat in her section.
"Voi gradiscono qualcosa bere?" Abigail asked in flawless Italian. The lady looked up slightly confused.
"Um… sorry I don't speak Italian…?" She responded looking confused.
"That's perfectly alright; would you like something to drink?" Abigail repeated her question in English.
"I would if you don't mind. I would like a… Hot Chocolate please" The lady yawned slightly.
"Long day?" Abigail inquired. Normally Abigail didn't stop to talk to tourists but this time she some how felt the need.
"Endless I flew here today, trust me don't take a six hour flight and then decide to go to work straight away."
"I've done it before. So you're here in Italy for work?"
"Yeah, which is unfortunate because I've never been here before"
"I better go grab your order I'll be back in a few minutes." Abigail walked back to the counter and started making the hot chocolate with out waiting for a reply, she couldn't help but feel the lady's eyes on the back of her as she walked away.
Agent PH watched Abigail walk away. She couldn't help but smile as she watched the former KND work with ease. Agent PH had to admit she did her job as a spy well. Agent PH noted as Abigail was making the hot chocolate, she made it with ease. She then noticed Abigail was preparing to come back with her drink so Agent PH quickly grabbed her menu and pretended to study it.
"Voi gradiscono niente altro?" Agent PH looked blankly at Abigail as she slipped back into Italian and then corrected herself, "sorry about that juggling languages can be difficult at times, would you like anything else?"
"Not at the moment thanks, I can't help but notice that you sound American are you?" Abigail nodded.
"Yeah I grew up in Boston"
"What a coincidence so did I"
"You did?" Agent PH nodded. She had been for a short time a part of Sector T before she became a part of Moon Base.
"Wow, what do you do for a living?" Agent PH smiled, time for a little white lie.
"I'm head of design at K.N.D" she decided to use those simple initials to see whether anything registered in Abigail's brain.
Abigail couldn't help but recognize the name of the company that the lady worked at, it seemed familiar to her for some reason, but she had no idea why. Suddenly the brunette looked at her watch.
"Wow look at the time I have to go for a meeting, how much do I owe you?"
"4 Euro's I hope you enjoy your time in Italy" Abigail told her as the lady left in a rush. The brunette pulled out her purse and started to look through it.
"Here's 5 Euro's please keep the change and read the back of the card… Abigail" Abigail looked at the retreating woman in shock. She hadn't told her name and even if she did she wouldn't of told her false name which was at present Karen Been. She looked at the card that she held in her hand.
The A.T.H.S.W require a meeting with you at: 8:30am tomorrow morning at Grand Hotel Et De Milan.
She turned the card over which read:
This sounds suspicious and it probably is but come alone.
New York City, USA
Agent TR watched outside as Wallabee Beatles taught self defense. Agent TR had to admit that Wallabee- sorry Wally was a good teacher. He had the girls flipping over the boys in no time what-so-ever and he knew that Wally would be good for the team.
"Excuse me" Agent TR looked up slightly surprised to see Wally standing beside him.
"Yes?"
"I'm going to have to ask you to leave the premises, I don't give out free lessons and I also don't appreciate people watching me for two days" Agent TR cursed his luck- if he didn't know any better he was the one dealing with the spy and not Agent PH.
"Alright but as long as you take my card"
"Why would I want to take a cruddy business card?"
"Because it may change your life Wallabee" Agent TR sneered at him, knowing that it would aggravate Wallabee as he gave the card to Wally
"Change my life?" Wally asked, "Why would a cruddy business change my life? Anyway the names WALLY" TR just shrugged his shoulders and walked away knowing for a fact that Wally would turn up.
"Just read the card" TR called simply over his shoulder, "And it's to do with K.N.D" TR walked off.
Wally looked at his card suspiciously. Why would someone who had been spying on him for the last two days want to meet him? And why did the letters K.N.D sound suspiciously familiar?
Roswell, New Mexico
Kuki Sanban walked down the aisle and kept her eyes away from Hoagie's. She had completely forgotten about Tommy being Hoagie's brother and she had been shocked at seeing him again. Kuki had kept away from her ex-team mates deliberately. Although it was part of the rules of K.N.D she also did that for her own benefit. It was simply to harmful. Perhaps she should of gone through the decommissioning after all. She took her place and then turned to watch her baby sister walk down the aisle to marry Hoagie's baby brother. How ironic.
Agent FF took notes on Kuki. She smiled slightly evilly when she remembered Numbeh 4's crush on her back in K.N.D
"If only he could see her now" Agent FF muttered while Agent DM turned to look at her.
"What was that?" Agent DM inquired.
"Just thinking of Wally's crush on Kuki" Agent DM hid his laugh.
"I think almost everyone apart from Kuki realized that he liked her in that way"
"She did in the end" Agent FF pointed out.
"Only after he told her" Agent FF nodded and then turned her head back to the wedding.
"You may now kiss the bride" The minister spoke and Tommy kissed Muki with ease.
At the after match Agent FF and Agent DM split up. They decided to tackle- so to speak, the two ex-operatives separately. Agent FF joined Kuki Sanban at the bar.
"I'd like a coke please" Agent FF told the bartender and he nodded. She took a quick look at Kuki who was currently playing with a placement, "why aren't you out there dancing?" Agent FF inquired.
"Don't feel like it I guess." Kuki looked up at Agent FF and a look of shock came across her face, "what is it? Members from the K.N.D are coming back to haunt me?" She muttered to herself.
"The Kids Next Door?" Agent FF inquired with a small smile on her face, wondering how long it was going to take Kuki to click on to what she had said, apparently not all that long.
"How did you know… NumbehEighty-sixdidn't you get decommissioned?" Kuki asked with a hopeful look.
"Nice to see you Numbeh ThreeI'd like to explain everything later at my hotel room if that is alright with you?" Agent FF- a.k.a Fanny Fullbright said with a small smile.
"Um…" Kuki looked at the wedding and then at Fanny. She knew she wanted to but this was her sisters wedding…
"I'll leave it up to you. I'm staying at the Sally Port Inn and if you wish to come can you please come at 5:30 it gives you time to get away" Agent FF pointed out. Kuki nodded in agreement.
"Alright."
Same Time, Same Place
Hoagie Gilligan couldn't help but watch Muki's older sistertalk with another female. They both looked slightly familiar to him but he couldn't figurer out why.
"Having a good time?" Hoagie turned around to spot a male around his age with long blonde hair beside him.
"Yeah Mukiis good for Tommy" Hoagie couldn't help but state.
"Have to agree with you there" Agent DM said.
"How do you know Tommy?" Hoagie inquired, his curiosity getting the better of him.
"We used to play together as children." The Blonde said with a grin, "I knew Muki back then too" Hoagie nodded but couldn't help but feel that the blonde was hiding something from him. "Unfortunately I can't stay long at the wedding, I have a meeting at 5:30pm that I have to prepare for" The blonde continued, "anyway perhaps we will meet again sometime here's my business card"
Agent DM handed over his business card with his room number and everything on it. They had decided to hold both of there meetings together thinking it might be easier if Kuki was able to back them up.
"Five thirty?" Hoagie muttered as he read the back of the card, "he has a meeting at five thirty…" Hoagie looked up to correct him but noticed that he and Kuki's friend had already gone.
"So are you going?" Kuki asked walking up to him.
"How did you… she gave you the same card didn't she?"
"Yeah. But are you going?"
"Yeah I guess so…"
"See you there"
London, England
"Alright Men, I need you to take your stations I want Denvor, Carter and Hudson to head over that way and I want Daniell, Harrignton and Clark to head on the other side." Chief Nigel Uno spoke to his team, "We need to get Adams out of there NOW" He then watched as an man in a black suit walked up to him.
"I'm sorry but the FBI has taken over this particular situation and has deemed it unsafe for you to be here"
"One of my men is in there!" Nigel yelled at him, wondering why the guy was being so calm about the whole deal. Hehad to getAdams out of there.
"Yes and we will be doing everything that we can to get him out. Can you answer this question: Have you battled with The Delightfuls in any shape or form before?" The man said staring at Nigel. One part of Nigel's mind was yelling at him to say yes but Nigel couldn't honestly remember any enemies under that name so he slowly shook his head.
"I didn't think so." The man said with a smirk, "This is a trap and we need you Nigel and your troops to retreat." Nigel looked at the man and then shook his head.
"No" Nigel said firmly, "a member of my team is in there and I AM going to get him out I don't care about what you say."
Agent RA's mind was reeling he knew he should have recognized Nigel concern over a team mate but he honestly hadn't. Agent RA had been heading over to see Nigel when he heard over his communicator that Nigel was in a battle with The Delightfuls and he instantly had realized that they had found out their plans on getting sector V back and he ordered all English Agents over to where he was and he headed over there.
"We have Agents around the building. They don't want the captured person Nigel, they are after you" Agent RA finally spoke.
"Me why would they want me? I've never fought them before, I just told you that."
"Actually you have" Agent RA admitted finally.
"What? I would-"
"You don't remember because you had your memories wiped when you where thirteen years old. You where part of an organization called The Kids Next Door and your team then where the Delightfuls main enemies- back then of course they where called The Delightful Children From Down The Lane. I can explain everything else later I just need you to trust me on this one and order your men away." Agent RA tried to plead with Nigel. They couldn't loose him to the Delightfuls, not now.
This time it was Nigel's mind that was reeling. He remembered very vaguely of an operation called The Kids Next Door so he decided to see what the man had to say.
"Alright I'll call them off but I'm coming in with you" Nigel said firmly.
"What?" Agent RA exploded. He couldn't have Nigel in there with him. He was untrained. Unprepared. They would know his weaknesses and he wouldn't know theirs.
"It's a member of my team in there I'm responsible for him. I'm going in whether you like it or not." Agent RA sighed he knew when he was whipped.
"Fine"
