Chapter Five

Very quickly, the sound of running feet could be heard, along with the sound of doors opening and closing, as Nurse Richards searched for the now missing O'Neill and Jackson children. Suddenly the footsteps stopped, letting Grace, Abigail and Hunter know she had reached the T- intersection in the hall. Holding their breath they waited for her decision, Left; they would be safe, able to continue on their adventure, and have fun. Right; they would be found, their adventure over before it even begun.

After what seemed forever, the footsteps started up again, but this time quickly fading- She had went Left. Breathing a sigh of relief, Hunter poked his head out to make sure the hall was clear.

"Ok guys it's safe to come out"

"And Girls" muttered Abby, coming into the hall with Thomas and Kyle in tow.

Choosing to ignore Abby's comment, Hunter set off down the hall, with Gracie, Thomas and Kyle quickly catching up to him. Abby stared after them before muttering under her breath and racing to catch up.

"So where are we going?" Asked Abby, as she caught up.

"Science Labs" whispered Gracie.

"Yeah Science Labs" Hunter agreed with Grace.

"Why?"

"Because, Mommy is always bringing home cool toys"

"Yeah, but we are never allow to touch them" Abby shot back.

"But Mommy won't be there, will she. Mommy, Daddy, Uncle Danny, and Uncle T are meeting with GG"

Abby thought for a minute, before a smiled broke out over her face.

"Let's go"

A couple of minutes later, the PA system came to life.

"All available personnel please report to the infirmary immediately"

Gracie looked at her sister and Hunter.

"Nurse Richards, has told mommy and daddy we're gone or maybe Aunt Janet found out we were missing."

"We are going to have to be careful; they're going to start looking for us"

"We need to be quick and quiet" Hunter added looking at the toddlers.

"But Hunter, Thomas and Kyle will never keep up"

Thomas and Kyle, for their part just stared up at the trio, they knew they were talked about but that was it.

Looking around Hunter spotted an equipment trolley, which had been left in the hall.

He was just about to point this out when suddenly six or seven sets of footsteps could be heard coming towards them.

"Quick" whispered Abby and grabbing Thomas's hand ducked into one of the doorways lining the hall. Grace grabbed Kyle and followed suit with Hunter close behind.

In the darken room the shapes of a desk and a few cupboard could be seen.

"Gracie you, Hunter and Kyle hide under the table while me and Thomas hide behind up of these cupboards" Abby bossily ordered, seemly taking over the leader role from her sister.

Hunter grabbed Kyle and headed for the desk, hoping Gracie would follow without argument.

Gracie was not impressed, she was the boss. But just as she open her mouth to inform her sister of this. The footsteps grew louder and she decided it was safer to just hide.

Back in the infirmary Jack, Sam, Janet, Daniel, Hammond and Nurse Richards waited for the arrival of the personnel that had called for.

Jack was furious, how could a group of kids disappear out of the infirmary, it is always well staffed, someone should have seen they.

Janet was upset, blaming herself about the missing children.

Sam was pacing, she couldn't believe they were gone again, they had broken the rules.

Daniel, while comforting his wife, wondered where they possibly could be, yes he was upset they had left but if they were going to find them they needed to know where they were.

Hammond was also worried, these kids were like grandchildren, but he was thinking about how to stop this from happening again. Yes the kids needed to been checked out but he couldn't keep removing staff from their posts to look for the missing O'Neill and Jackson children.

All the while Nurse Richards wondered how she could've lost the five children so quickly.

Back the office the foot steps had pasted but Hunter, Grace and Abigail still waited, just to make sure. It wasn't until Thomas, started to get restless did Abby step out of her hiding place softly calling to Grace and Hunter, And at that moment there was a loud crash as Kyle knocked off a cup holding a heaps of pens from the top of the desk. Having got bored and finding he wasn't restrained by either Hunter or Grace. He had made his to the top of the desk via the chair.

Jumping at the sound. Hunter, Grace and Abby all made their way over to Kyle. Crushed the plastic pens as they went. All three helped Kyle down, and making sure the crash hadn't attracted any unwanted visitors. Made their way back into the hall again.

Picking up for where they had left off Hunter pointed at the trolley.

"We could put Kyle and Thomas on the trolley and push them."

"It's kind of big" Abby pointed out, a little unsure.

"Let's use it" Gracie decided trying to gain back leader status.

Loading the toddlers onto lowest shelve of the trolley. The trio once again set off.

888

Still in the infirmary. The requested personnel had arrived, and had been spilt into groups.

"Ok, people our children are missing again, please find them. And remember they are only a few years old they can fit into small places, Check every where. Understood."

A chorus of "Yes Sir" came back and Jack dismissed the assembly.

888

Back outside the office the kids were no longer in sight, but unknown to them a series of tiny inky footsteps would lead anyone who was looking, right to them.
