Father's Plot (Not my father…technically)

Now let's see what happened to Numbuh 1, shall we? Numbuh 1 was kinda tied up at the moment, literally.

In the throne room of father, bound by chains and blood seeping out from the very gruesome gashes in his body was, Numbuh 1. He was still alive, but the only indication was the slight rising and falling of his chest.

Father was sitting at his chair, smirking. Now it would only be a matter of time before…..

Back at the tree-house, Numbuh's 2, 3 and 4 had finally persuaded the disheartened Numbuh 5 to go to bed.

Numbuh 2 was pacing. Where had Numbuh 1 gone? He gave us the orders to jump and then what happened? He was desperately trying to figure out where Numbuh 1 had gone.

Numbuh 3 was crying her heart out in Numbuh 4's arms. Her head was on his chest and she was drenching his shirt.

Numbuh 4 was trying his best to stop his own tears from spilling out.

'Guys! Please, can we go look for, Numbuh 1? Numbuh 5 needs to know he is safe. Please!' Came Numbuh 5's feeble voice from the door and she broke down.

Numbuh 3 bolted out of Numbuh 4's hands to support her.

Numbuh 4 and Numbuh 2 looked at each other. They had to comfort the girls, they knew. Numbuh 4 felt at ease comforting Numbuh 3, but Numbuh 2 felt sure that Numbuh 1 would be able to comfort Numbuh 5 better.

He slowly walked upto Numbuh 5 and wrapped her in a brotherly hug.

Numbuh 5 stiffened against him and then relaxed. Then she started sobbing freely.

'Shhh….Its ok Abby' Numbuh 2 cooed, using her name for the first time so that she knew he was serious. 'We'll find, Numbuh 1. It's a promise.'

'And when weh do, we'll make sure the guy who kidnapped him pays.' Cried Numbuh 4.

Numbuh 5 gasped. 'Numbuh 1 was kidnapped?' she asked in a hoarse voice and broke down again.

Numbuh 2 glared at the small boy. 'Yes Abby! Isn't that much obvious? Calm down now, you're making Numbuh 3 cry too.' He told Numbuh 5 in the gentlest voice he could muster at 12: 00 at night.

Numbuh 5 looked up at him guiltily. 'Numbuh 5 is sorry guys! It's just ….' She stopped trying to find the right words. 'It's just that Numbuh 1 means so much to her and she…I….don't want him getting hurt. She... bear that.'

Everyone looked at her, amazed. She referred to herself in the first person only if she was damn serious. So….Numbuh 1 meant that much to her, huh?

Numbuh 2 suddenly smiled.

Numbuh 3 cooed, 'Ooh! It's Ok silly! I would feel the same way if something happened to Numbuh 4!'

All of them turned to look her. Numbuh's 2 and 5 grinned. Numbuh 4 started blushing brightly.

Numbuh 3 still remained oblivious to what she said and didn't realize it was the effect, what she said had on them.

Suddenly Numbuh 2 cracked up and started rolling on the floor in mirth. Numbuh 5 waited for 2 seconds and joined him, all the while still thinking about Numbuh 1.

'Yeah! And Numbuh 86 will go crazy if something happens to Numbuh 2!' Numbuh 4 said smirking.

Now Numbuh 2 had begun to look like "Hank". He had become quite tall and lanky and spoke in a deep and mellow voice instead of his usual squeak. He was now the heart throb of many girls, but he liked, of course, Numbuh 86 and Numbuh 4 liked to tease him about it

Numbuh 2 immediately stopped laughing and became serious. When the other's started laughing, he held out his hands.

'Enough guys! Now be serious. Numbuh 5, go report to the Moon base and seek further instructions. Numbuh 4 and Numbuh 3……go to bed.'

Even though, Numbuh 5 was the second-in-command, Numbuh 2 had to take control as Numbuh 5 wouldn't be able to remain as collected as she always was because of Numbuh 1's involvement in this situation.

Everyone did as instructed. Numbuh 2 sighed and leaned against the couch.

Controlling things like Numbuh 1 did, and never making a mistake was stressful. He now understood why Numbuh 1 was always so paranoid and hard-working. You never know when a villain would strike.

Numbuh 1 coughed up blood and a searing pain shot through him. He groaned and tried to stand up. He tried to move his hands. But his body was fastened tightly to the wall and he could not move even an inch.

Where am I? He wondered.

Then suddenly realization shot through him like electricity and he remembered he was at fathers.

He coughed and called out, 'Father! Where are you?'

'Ah! I see you are awake Nigel Uno! Perhaps you remember the agreement we had?'

Numbuh 1 remembered alright. Numbuh 1 had been told not to jump from the Mosquittoh or his teammates would be harmed. The accident of the Mosquittoh had not been an accident at all. It was sabotage.

Numbuh 1 had known about it. It had been father's plan to capture him. But he had given himself up for the sake of his teammates, especially Abby. She would never get hurt as long as he was alive.

'Is my team ok?' he asked hoarsely. 'Yes Boy! Only mourning your loss.' Father said smirking.

'At least, you could have told them I'm not dead.' The Brit countered enraged. Numbuh 5 would be heart-broken if anyone told her, he was dead.

Then again, maybe not. He hung his head.

Father looked at him smiling evilly.

The next morning, Numbuh 3 and Numbuh 4 came down to breakfast to be met with an exited Numbuh 2.

'Guys! We had a note delivered to us this morning. Numbuh 5 suspects that it might contain information to Numbuh 1's whereabouts.'

'Then what are weh waiting foh? Where's Numbuh 5?' Asked Numbuh 4, enthusiastically.

'In her room. She asked me to wait down here for you both.'

Meanwhile, Numbuh 5 was fumbling with her T.V. C'mon, ya stupid piece of junk. Numbuh 5 hasn't got much time. She thought almost banging the contraption with her fist.

The others came running in and Numbuh 2 put on the T.V as the note instructions were to do so. Everyone waited, holding in their breath.

The screen was blank for 2 minutes and then a dark shadow came into view. Father, Numbuh 5 thought, grinding her teeth.

Hello children! Surprised? Well…..

I just wanted to show you that your little playmate was alive, on his request, of course.

I wouldn't be nice of me if I didn't grant him his last wish would it?

Everyone watched, thunderstruck. What the hell was happening?

Matthews, please direct our viewers to their little friend. But please do it in secrecy. We wouldn't want Nigel Uno breaking his chains in anger now, would we?

Chains? What was going on? Why was Numbuh 1 in chains?

The screen now showed Numbuh 1. He was badly beaten up. He was secured fastly on to the wall with 2 or 3 chains. He had a black eye. There was dried up blood under his nose. There was a ghastly gash on his forehead running all the way down to his cheek. and his clothes were drenched in blood and sweat. He was not wearing his sunglasses; his Sapphire eyes were sparkling with distrust, anger and hatred.

Numbuh 5 started sobbing again. She couldn't bear to think of Numbuh 1 in that situation. Poor Numbuh 1….. she put her head between her knees and started crying.

Numbuh 3 was crying too, but comforting her friend.

Numbuh 1 was trying to at least move the chains, but he wasn't succeeding.

'Father,' He yelled. 'Let me down now. If you do anything to my friends….I'll…….'

'You'll what child?' Father asked coming into the scene. 'They don't know you're alive and if at all they do, they must have forgotten you by now,'

Numbuh 1 stared at him for a moment incredulously and burst out laughing.

The other four back at the tree-house stared at the screen in shock, they admired their leader tremendously. He made light of the situation and laughed... Only he could Laugh in such a situation.

To Numbuh 5, his laughter was like music. (A/n – Yeah, I know…incredibly mushy. Couldn't think of anything else.') Even when he was covered in gashes and looked ghastly he looked handsome to her. The marks on him were a remainder of bravery.

'How stupid can you get?' He continued laughing. 'It's been only a day since you kidnapped me. How could they forget already?'

'Dear boy, ok I agree that was stupid, but what if they believe you're dead.'

He looked at father steadfastly. 'Let them be that way. Don't let that know I'm alive.'

Numbuh's 2, 3, 4 and 5 gasped. What was he saying?

'They're better off without me anyway. And if you ever plan on leaving me alive from here, I'll…'

' You'll suicide? That will be highly romantic. Just like my Nigie. But I want you Nigie. I want you.' Said a new voice.

Numbuh 1 looked up, surprise written all over his face. Back at the tree-house, Numbuh 5 folded her hands into fists.

'Yes Nigie, I'm so sorry! I know I shouldn't have broken up with you. But now, since you're not going to spent time with you're teammates and that stupid Abigail Lincoln, I want you back.'

Father pushed a lever and the chains let go of Numbuh 1. He could barely support himself, so he sat down. Lizzie ran to him and put her lips on top of his. Numbuh 1 winced.

Back at the tree-house so did the others. EEEWWWWW, Numbuh 4 mouthed to Numbuh 3 and 2. Numbuh 5 was glaring at the screen like she would like nothing but to kill it.

Mustering all the strength he had, he pushed Lizzie away.

'Get away from me you freak! What the heck are you doing?'

All those who were watching cheered for Numbuh 1. Numbuh 5 smirked.

'But Nigie.' Lizzie said her lips quivering.

'No Lizzie, that won't work. I've moved on, I found another girl, who isn't likely to break my heart or tear me up emotionally…' he stopped. Well technically Abby had broken his heart, by not believing him. But what the heck…

'……..why can't you do the same?' 'Abigail?' Lizzie asked.

Numbuh 1 blushed lightly. 'Why are you so caught up on Numbuh 5? I could like other girls you know!'

Back at the tree-house, Numbuh 5 smiled.

'No Nigel! From the beginning, your heart belonged to Abby. Did you even know that?'

Numbuh 1 frowned…. 'Technically No! I realized that after you broke up with me.'

Numbuh 5 blushed and the others cheered.

'What's the use anyway? I gave it to her and she gave it back, with all the love from her part. Anyway, she deserves someone better than me.'

'But Nigie….' 'Stop, Can we discuss something other than my love life now?'

Back the tree-house, Numbuh 5 frowned. If only he knew how wrong he was…

'No Nigel! That is exactly what we must discuss. What do you mean Abby gave your heart back to you?' Lizzie asked her eyes gleaming expectantly.

'She laughed at me when I told her…..' Numbuh 1 said; tears were beginning to slip down his cheeks slowly. 'She laughed at me' He said again… in a shaky voice that showed how hurt he was feeling.

Numbuh 5 broke down. 'Numbuh 5 didn't think he was serious guys! Otherwise she never would have broken his heart.'

The others consoled her. Where was this going?

'Awww Nigie! You can always count on me to help you feel better.' Lizzie cooed. Numbuh 1 smiled but the smile didn't reach his eyes.

'No Liz, Thanks! But two heart-breaks in a week are quite enough for me.'

C'mon Nigie! Humor me please! I promise I'll love you very much…..'

'Lizzie, you know what? I think no matter how much she breaks my heart, I'll always like…no…scratch that….love Numbuh 5!'

Numbuh 5; in the tree-house was crying and laughing all at the same time, I Love you too, Numbuh 1; Nigel.

Ok….guys gotta go. Thought I'll just clear one thing for any tube lights out there. Numbuh 1 doesn't know that he is being shot on T.V. and this broadcast is only for the KND, Sector V….. K? Too mushy, rite?

Me: Like it, Numbuh 1?

Nigel: Well…I would, if you didn't give me a near-death experience.

Me: I did put in parts where Abby thinks you're cute and all.

Abby: I think who is cute?

Me: No one at all…. (WINKS AT READERS)
