14.Saving Numbuh 1

"Okay, Numbuh 5. Are you ready?" Numbuh 3 was still grinning.

"Yes, Numbuh 5 is ready."

"Alright then. Let's go!" Numbuh 3 pulled a handle and a blast was heard.

Hippy Hop jumped out of the Treehouse, on his way to Numbuh 4's house. They would get Numbuh 4 first, and then rush to the hospital.

Both Numbuh 3 and Numbuh 5 thought the same thing: that they were not too late. After all they were the only ones who could save Sector V before the Ghost of Love and Fear would destroy them…

Numbuh 4 couldn't sleep anymore. Since the conversation he had with Numbuh 3 he couldn't even close his eyes. His heart felt empty. The love that once was in it was gone. The fear that once was in it was gone. Everything that once was in it was gone. His heart was empty, and it would never be full again…

Suddenly he heard a noise. He sat up and looked through the window. He saw a flash moving through the dark night. 'What is that?' He got the answer faster than he expected. Suddenly a giant robot rabbit dropped in his room. The wall with the window was destroyed.

"AAARG! What the crud is going on here!" he yelled. A lot of smoke blinded him and made him coughing. He heard a noise. "Who is there?"

When the smoke was gone, he saw who it was.

Numbuh 3 smiled at him from the head of Hippy Hop. "Hi, Numbuh 4!"

"Numbuh 3?" Numbuh 4 waved the last smoke away and saw Hippy Hop half standing in his room.

"Come on, Numbuh 4, hop in! We don't have a lot of time!" Numbuh 3 said.

"Erm, Numbuh 3…" Numbuh 5 pointed at Numbuh 4's right leg.

"Oopsie! Forgotten!" Numbuh 3 jumped out of her giant rabbit and landed in front of Numbuh 4's bed. "Come, I will help you," she said.

But Numbuh 4 didn't move. He looked at her. She could she the fire burning in his eyes. They were filled with anger.

"Numbuh 4? What's wrong?"

"What do you think that's wrong? How dare you bursting in and destroying half my chamber! After what you did to me! Why are you here?"

"Numbuh 4, I… I don't understand…"

"You don't understand? I can hardly think of something that's not to understand! You broke my heart, Numbuh 3! You broke it and now it's emptier than you can ever imagine! How could you do this to me! I thought you were having special feeling for me, but apparently, you didn't! I'm glad I never said I l--"

"Shoosh! Be quiet, Numbuh 4!" Numbuh 5 interrupted.

"Why should I be quiet? I haven't got anything to hide anymore! My life is over! The thing I love the most has betrayed me! I will never sleep again! I will never fight normal again! And I will never love again!"

"Numbuh 4, what are you talking about?"

"Numbuh 5 thinks she understands," Numbuh 5 said.

Numbuh 3 and Numbuh 4 looked at her.

"You do?" Numbuh 4 said.

"Yes, Numbuh 5 does. Numbuh 3, I don't like to say it, but… I think the ghost already got his fear too."

Numbuh 3 gasped.

Numbuh 4 sighed. "What are you talking about, Numbuh 5?"

"Well, erm… That's a long story. But Numbuh 5 will explain. Listen…"

Numbuh 1 was sleeping in his room. His parents were finally gone. They had almost strangled him while hugging him.

Suddenly he heard a noise that woke him up. "Huh?" He sat up and looked around. He didn't see anybody. He was alone in his room. But where did the strange noise that he heard again come from then?

Suddenly somebody opened the door. And that somebody entered the room too.

"You? What are you doing here? How on earth can you just walk like t--"

3 other people, who entered the room too, interrupted him.

The fifth one said: "Hello, Numbuh 1…"

"I don't know if I believe you two," Numbuh 4 said. "It all sounds so… so weird. So it wasn't Numbuh 3 who broke my hart, it was that ghost?"

"Yes, it was. Listen, Numbuh 4. You don't have to believe us, but please come with us. Numbuh 1 and Numbuh 2 could be in danger, you know. So hop in," Numbuh 3 said.

"But I can't go anywhere! I'm having a broken leg, for cruds sake!" Numbuh 4 said loudly.

"There are standing some wheelchairs and crutches from operation: P.I.A.N.O. in Hippy Hop. Now, hurry! You don't want to have your friends dead, do you?"

"No! I absolutely don't!" Numbuh 4 said.

"Great. Then GET YOUR GOOFY BUTT IN THIS ROBOT BEFORE WE'RE GOING TO BREAK YOUR OTHER LEG TOO!" Numbuh 5 yelled.

Both Numbuh 3 and Numbuh 4 got scared of her, but Numbuh 4 realized he didn't have a choice.

"Okay… Just give me some help, will you!"

Numbuh 3 grabbed Numbuh 4 and helped him getting into Hippy Hop.

A minute later the giant rabbit leaved Numbuh 4's house and made it's way to the hospital.

Hippy Hop entered the hospital and Numbuhs 3, 4 and 5 ran over to the help desk.

While Numbuh 4 and Numbuh 5 were getting each other to the elevator, Numbuh 3 asked where Numbuh 2's room was.

The nurse behind the help desk immediately replied, which was obvious because it was the same nurse as in operation: H.O.S.P.I.T.A.L. again.

Numbuh 3 ran over to the elevator and said: "Button 2!"

Numbuh 5 pushed the button and after a minute they got on the second floor. They ran over to room 216, where Numbuh 2 was sleeping.

Numbuh 3 entered the room first. "Numbuh 2!"

Numbuh 2 immediately woke up. "Huh? What?"

Numbuh 3 sat down next to his bed and said: "How are you?"

"Me? I'm hart broken," Numbuh 2 replied.

When he started sobbing, Numbuh 3 knew it for sure. The ghost got him too.

Numbuh 4 and Numbuh 5 entered the room too and when they saw Numbuh 2, they were thinking the same as Numbuh 3 did.

Numbuh 5 sighed. Again telling that whole story…

"What… What are you doing here?" Numbuh 1 asked.

"Keeping you company, of course," one of the people replied.

"Still the same question. How come you can walk so soon?" Numbuh 1 pointed at one of them. I" mean, you were at least in an as bad state as I am. Why are you better? I can't believe you are so soon."

"Relax, Numbuh 1, the doctors gave me a medicine that would make me better for a half our, so I could see you."

"I don't believe that."

"Why not?" one of them asked.

"Because they could do with me too. I don't think you've got anything that I haven't got. So tell me the truth: how come you are better while you were in such a bad state a few days ago?"

None of the people replied.

"Hello! I'm asking you a simple question!" Numbuh 1 said.

"Well, you aren't the only one who wants to say something, Numbuh 1. We want to say something too," the fifth one suddenly said.

"O yeah? Then what do you want to say?"

"I can't believe it… A ghost which steals fear?" Numbuh 2 said.

"Yeah, we don't have time for that, so hurry!" Numbuh 5 quickly said. "We have to go to Numbuh 1!"

"Why do you think the ghost hasn't got him yet?" Numbuh 3 asked.

Numbuh 5 looked her in the eyes. "It… It's a presentiment, Numbuh 3… It's a feeling. Just like the feeling from a few ours ago that told me Numbuh 1 wasn't doing well. That feeling was right. So I think this is too."

"And how do you think the ghost is going to get Numbuh 1's fear, Numbuh 5?" Numbuh 2 asked.

"Probably by pretending to be Lizzie or something," Numbuh 5 said angrily. "That jerk. I will never forgive him for what he said."

"What do you mean?" Numbuh 2 asked.

"I'll explain it later. Come on, we've got to hurry. Numbuh 1 is in danger."

"Well then, what are we waiting for? Let's save our leader!" Numbuh 4 yelled.

They put Numbuh 2 in a wheelbarrow and rushed to room 426.

"Well? Are you going to answer my question or not? What do you have to say?" Numbuh 1 asked. He thought this people were acting weird. He knew them very well, but he didn't understand why they acted so weird. They never ignore his questions or wait long before they give an answer. Were they going to answer anyway?

Suddenly one of them said: "We have to say something, Numbuh 1, but it's not as usual. What we are going to say is very important."

"Well then, say it!"

The fifth one looked at the others and then slowly said: "Numbuh 1… We are leaving the t--"

"NO!" Numbuh 5 burst into the room and almost fell on Numbuh 1 because of her speed. She looked around the room and shouted: "Where are you, ghost? We know you're here!"

The others entered the room too.

"What the-- What is going on here!" Numbuh 1 yelled. He was the only one who could see two groups. "Alright, I get it! One of you are the betrayers! So, who of you is real?"

"We are!" both groups said.

Numbuh 1 sighed and said: "I guess there's only one way to know for sure who is my real team."

"Numbuh 1, what are you talking about?" Numbuh 4 asked. "I don't get it. Does the ghost pretend to be more people or something? I thought he was only pretending to be Lizzie."

"I don't understand it either. Maybe there's another team from another organisation," Numbuh 3 said.

"Or another team from our organisation," Numbuh 2 said.

Suddenly Numbuh 5 realized it. She first thought what Numbuh 3 thought, but now she understood that she was wrong.

"Guys…" she said. "I think he's seeing us…"

A/N: Ooo, exciting! Hehe. Please review, guys! And I can promise you this: there'll be a lot of 1/5 and 3/4 in the last chapter! ;)
