Chapter 6: Initiations
Kuki & Abby are standing in front of a large group of teenagers. Nadie is talking into a microphone. "…honored to have former Numbers 3 & 5 with us." she finishes.
Everyone claps & cheers & Nadie turns to the girls. "OK, now I need a strand of your hair."
Kuki touches her hair. "Why?"
"Do you really want to use the boogers again?" Nadie jokes.
Kuki turns green. "Not really." She plucks a hair out.
"Now put it into the machine." Nadie points to the familiar machine that initiated them into KND, except it said TR on it.
Kuki nods & walks over to the machine. She puts her hair in & a lot of beeping & lights appear. A mechanic voice comes on. "Welcome, Kuki Sanban. Your codename is Letter KS."
The machine dies down & Kuki takes her hand out. She turns to a cheering crowd. Nadie smiles. "Welcome to the TR, Letter KS."
Kuki nods, smiling. "Arigato." she bows & walks back next to Abby.
"Your turn." she whispers.
Abby smiles & plucks a hair out. She goes over & the same thing happened. "Welcome, Abby Lincoln. Your codename is Letter AL."
The crowd cheers again & Abby walks back next to Kuki.
Nadie turns back to the microphone. "May I present the newest members of TR; Letter KS & Letter AL!"
Everyone cheers louder now & the two girls blush. When everyone is finished congratulating them, Nadie takes them backstage.
Nadie sits down on a stool, clipboard in hand. "Now, we don't exactly have the time to party. There is a problem."
"Just one question…" Abby speaks up.
Nadie looks at her, expectedly.
"If there is a organization for teenagers, then how come my sister, Cree, didn't get initiated?"
Kuki nods. "And Chad?"
Nadie sighs, looking down at her clip board. "There are some teenagers that just go bad."
The two girls watch Nadie & notice tears come down her cheeks. "What's wrong?" Kuki asks, standing up & walking over to Nadie.
Nadie looks up, wiping tears. "I'm fine." She stands up, fixing her clip board. "Now, on to more important topics."
Kuki goes back to sit next to Abby on a couch. She muttered to Abby. "There's something up."
Abby leaned in & quietly agreed. "I know. We'll find out later."
Nadie turns around, sighing. "OK, you two will be in division 20." she paces. "Now, each division keeps an eye on it's KND partner." She stops & turns. "Your sector is your old sector V."
Kuki lets out a squeal. "That's most likely the one Mushi & King Sandy belong to."
Nadie looks at her clip board. "Mushi Sanban, Number 113 & Sandy Hibert, Number 114." She flips a page over. "Yes, Sector V along with Alexandre Francois, Number 115; Sunny Jenkins, Number 111 & Pammy Skalla, Number 112." Nadie reads off the board.
"Wait, how do you have this info?" Abby questions, looking up from under her hat.
Nadie smiles. "We have to have info to know who would make a new recruit. In fact, I choose you two myself."
Kuki stares at her. "Wait, how old are you?"
"17." Nadie writes something down on her clip board.
"So you're only a year older than me & two older than Kuki." Abby says.
Nadie nods. "Yes, but when I took over as head leader, I read your reports. They were outstanding." Nadie smiles. "Abby, you were the best spy I've seen in a while. You might be a challenge for Letter BD."
Abby beams. "Thanks."
Nadie grins. "And, Kuki." She turns to the Asian girl. "Even though you were down for many mishaps, you had the most heart. Never giving up on anybody or anything. We need that kind of passion in TR."
Kuki's face splits in a huge grin. "Arigato."
Nadie nods. "OK." She hands them two keys. "This is to your division. It should only be about 2 blocks from the high school."
"And these are you positions." She hands them papers. "Kuki, your jobs are providing distraction to enemies & leading the team."
Kuki gasps. "Wait, I'm the leader?"
Nadie nods. "Yes. I think you can handle it. And if you can't, Abby will be there you." She hands Abby her paper. "Abby, basically your job is second-in command. But you can brainstorm ideas as well."
Abby takes it & nods. "OK."
"Any other questions?" Nadie asks.
The girls exchange glances. Kuki gulps. "Um…who else is in our division."
Nadie frowns. "You don't know? Ex-Numbers 1,2 & 4."
Kuki's face beams. "You mean I get to be in the same division as Wally again?" she squealed, then covered her mouth blushing.
Abby laughs. "Maybe this time you'll tell him."
Kuki laughs with her. "Maybe I will if you tell Nigel."
It was Abby's turn to blush. "I'll tell him if you tell Wally."
"Deal." They shake hands, smiling.
Nadie shakes her head. "You two are too much."
"When will they be recruited?" Abby asks.
"In a few weeks." Nadie says.
Kuki pouts. "A few weeks? Why?"
"We had such a hard time contacting you two that we think we should watch them. Unless you can."
The girls exchange glances. "Sure. No prob." the replies came.
Nadie smiles. "Good. Now, if you go to the launching pad, there's a rocket waiting for you to take you back to Earth."
Kuki bows. "Arigato, Letter NA."
Abby tips her hat. "Yeah, thanks. We'll be seeing ya." The two girls turn & walk to the launching pad.
Nadie watches them go, sighing. "I hope they're do OK. I didn't tell them, but…"
A girl with black hair in a bear claw. & black eyes, wearing a red sleeveless top, a white jacket, black pants & pink sandals. ran up to her. "Letter NA, we have a problem!"
Nadie nods. "OK. Let's go!" The two girls run off to take care of the problem.
Wow, my back hurts. Unfortunately, I have to get off on account of my mom threatening me with my IPod. Review & I'll update.
