Chapter 2: Things get worse

(8:00 a.m. at Beetles Residence)

Wally sat in front of the television set with puffy reddened eyes and his parents were sitting together on the couch behind him. Their eyes were all glued on the news report on News About Delinquent Children Network (NADCN).

Anchor Man Dave: Kuki Sanban has been arrested for several charges, including breaking an entering and the attempted kidnapping of two teenagers by the names Francine Reynolds and Hoagie P. Gilligan. First female, latter male. Both were on the Reynolds' front yard when Kuki Sanban and a still at large blonde pre-teen male crashed unto the Gilligan's front yard in a Space Pod. You heard us right folks A SPACE POD. Hoagie obviously thinking fast on his feet according to information gathered, rushed himself and the female Francine into the Reynolds house and secured it with every bolt that the door had that would close. They looked out the window to see that out of the crater; that was of course was created by the Space Pod which was yes flown by pre-teens, came two pre-teens one male and one female. One still unidentified while the other was soon recognized to be Kuki Sanban first by the female teen Francine. As many of you know Kuki Sanban is currently the spokesperson for the ARO for pre-teens, which stands for Animal Rights Organization. Or maybe I should say formally. I really doubt the ARO will want a spokesperson with such a tarnished reputation as well as a criminal no less. Back to the story. Hoagie also recognized her and of course Francine had mentioned to us in a private interview that she had asked Hoagie 'what did you do to anger them' and 'what do they want'. But why should I sit here blabbing to you when we can show you a short clip of the interview our selves. Please note that it has been edited and summarized. You can tune in tonight at 8pm, 7pm central for the uncut and unedited version. Roll the clip John.

John (shouts from off screen): You got it Dave!

(CLIP)

(In a room at the DCFDTL Mansion, which was richly laden with Victorian Styled Furniture. A blonde haired female reporter sits in a cushioned red chair across from a red haired female teen and a brown haired male teen who are both sharing a small red cushioned sofa. Standing behind the teens are five youths known as DCFDTL and standing by the reporter is a man known mainly as Father.)

Female Reporter: So you told Francine that you didn't know why those pre-teen ruffians were after you?

Hoagie: Yes. I had also recognized Kuki Sanban but I still didn't know why anyone would be after me. Especially two pre-teens who were armed. That Kuki girl may look nice and innocent on those TV commercials, but the girl I saw outside my house looked ready to attack despite her hesitation.

Female Reporter: Hesitation?

Hoagie: Yeah, she seemed a bit uncomfortable about harming me. She even mentioned it to the blonde haired boy who was with her. The boy however declared pretty much that he wasn't hesitant and helped erase any misgivings she might've had of harming me. Don't think that I'm excusing them. They were both at my house with the intent to kidnap me after all.

Female Reporter: True. Francine, how did you feel when you realized that they were considering trying to find you as well?

Francine: Scared and Upset. I was scared because like Hoagie mentioned that blonde boy seemed intent on harming Hoagie then he got an interest in searching for me if Hoagie wasn't found after Kuki mentioned my name. That really scared me because that boy looked dangerous already and he only looked even more dangerous since he was also armed. I was also scared for Hoagie because from what they were saying, those kids were intending on taking him away and I was scared that they'd really harm him once they got to him and probably take him away forever. I don't remember knowing Hoagie well at all but knowing someone well isn't required to make you not wanting them to be kidnapped. Also I was upset because Hoagie and I didn't even recall knowing these kids personally and they were already talking of finding one or both of us and harming Hoagie.

Female Reporter: I sympathise with the ordeal that you and Hoagie have gone through. Am I right to recall that you were the one who called 911?

Francine: Yes. I decided to call and get them to bring police to arrest those dangerous kids.

Female Reporter: Hoagie, is it true that these kids are indeed KND agents?

Hoagie: Yes and it's also seems to be true unfortunately that Francine and I were members before our memories were erased.

Female Reporter: Oh My! But you seem to be such nice kids!

Francine: Nice has nothing t do with it! These kids probably coerce, trick or maybe even force little kids to join their wicked organization in order to keep a regular fighting force out to enslave teens and adults! Once the agents reach thirteen, their memories are erased because everyone knows that you start the true road to adulthood during your teen years. You see Hoagie and I and say that you can't believe that we were KND agents because we were nice kids. How many other nice kids have been tricked or forced into joining and working for this KND? Hundreds, Thousands, Millions? We don't know and that gives us citizens even LESS power to stop them! What we need to do is undo their brainwash on every member that we catch of this KND that still have the memories of this organization. Hoagie has a few memories, but there is only so much a few memories can do.

Father: Trust me young lady. ANY memory of the KND from an ex-member is useful. He was the one who told the 911 operator that those kids were KND after all (Francine nods)? That was very helpful and of course caused me to be contacted and I came directly to your house young Francine to ensure that you and Hoagie weren't attacked by any backup force that they might've chosen to send after you two. Lenny also came because I felt that he was the best one to take with me since he's best at hand to hand combat of the five (Lenny nods). This KND organization has been around for years and to make things worse, this organization isn't just existent in our country but also worldwide (reporter gasps). Many people have heard it mentioned but few people realize the true implications. Imagine you sitting in a house not knowing if your child or your younger sibling, cousin, friend, neighbour, visitor and God knows who else, is really a spy bent on enslaving you just because you're an adult or a teenager. Does that make you feel safe? Does that make you feel in anyway comfortable? Adults, Teens, we DESERVE to feel safe and comfortable on our streets, at the malls, in our schools at our own homes. We've worked and grown ourselves from childhood into the teens and adults that we are today. Do we deserve to be persecuted for it? These agents will grow up someday and look what they're doing (points to Francine and Hoagie), erasing memories of their own in fear that they might ally against them. Do you know why they do this? Do you know why they erase the memories of their agents when they become teenagers? Because they know what they're doing is wrong and fear that when their agents become teens and get older and smarter, that they'll realize that they've been tricked to believe in an organization, which is a lie.

Female Reporter: Strong words Father. But is it coincidental that on the night almost all of the town was out at the Free one night trial of the new Amusement Park?

Lenny: I doubt it. The KND need to keep themselves public enough to scare teens and adults but private enough to keep themselves hidden from detection and or capture. Teens being brought down to earth in Space Pods would catch even a blind person's attention with the noise alone. And let me tell you Madam, this isn't the only method that the KND use to bring back decommissioned teens without suspicions. Once in England a party for a bunch of teens was discovered to be a faux because later the teens were found to not even know each other. Further investigation revealed that the KND was involved and all teens had third thirteen less than a week before the party. The KND is very crafty and resourceful and this among other skills and talents, make them VERY dangerous.

Reporter: The 911 Operator didn't believe your report until Hoagie mentioned the KND, is there any particular reason for that?

Hoagie: Well not everyone is going to believe that kids are flying a Space Pod and are going to contact a Moon Base (Reporter laughs).

Reporter: Now that we have people publicly coming out with info about the KND. What are your plans?

Father: We have to stop this organizations plan of tyranny and enslavement. We need to monitor our under teen kids closely, know their friends, know their hang outs, do ANYTHING possible to capture as many KND agents. If we can get the leaders we can stop the madness.

Reporter: My, My. Graphic words from….

There was a loud rapping on the door which caught the Beetles family's attention. Wally decided to answer it and say Abby.

"You need to get out of here," Abby told Wally seriously, "it's only a matter of time before they figure that blonde boy with Kuki was you," she pointed out, "Father knows, but he'll leave the police to figure it out to make it look more incriminating," she stated, "my sister was laughing her head off this morning claiming that it's only a matter of time before they catch me too," she said with open annoyance, "and I've left home," she added.

"What?" Wally asked in surprise at her last statement, "and I'm NOT running," he said stubbornly.

"Will you wake up!" Abby exploded, "we need every agent we can get out of their homes and to a safe hideout," she told him, "if we don't we…."

"What?" Wally asked when he noticed that Abby had stopped talking.

"RUN!" Abby screamed and tore it off the Beetles property.

Wally turned around to see Knight Brace grinning sinisterly at him. After barely escaping being caught in dental floss Wally ran in the direction that Abby and gone. Never looking back.


(Meanwhile in Prison)

"Talk!" a male warden cried and boxed a female prisoner handcuffed to her bed in the face, "you will tell us about the KND Miss Sanban!" he shouted.

"NEVER!" Kuki screamed in refusal.

"Well I guess that we'll just have to take more drastic measures," Mr. Wink said as he entered the cell with a black switch in his hands, "leave us," he instructed and the warden grinned evilly at Kuki as he exited and closed the door on the Japanese girl's terrified face.

Done.
