Chapter 6 of Traces: The un-dead!

Disclaimer: KND does not belong to me!

Author Note: I'm just as exited as you are about Operation ZERO... Just a few hours! YESH! Also I'm going to have to make a second soundtrack; the story has taken this interesting U-Turn... Very, very interesting; let's see where it takes us shall we. So needless to say that my Pirates Of the Caribean Parody will have to wait... Wait, didn't you know I'm making one? Muhhahaha!

((DriftingAway - DDRmix)) Here I'm just staring at Chad flabbergasted. If I didn't see a ghost then I don't know what I saw. He just got out of Cree's bed and walked over to me, ok, he had the element of surprise but- oh yes, I'm not a KND operative anymore.

"Looks like you made the right choice, Hoagie, welcome to the proper side." 'Welcome to the proper side'! I join the enemy and this is the best he can come up with! I feel like turning around right now! "Nice work on Shaunie's case, Hoagie, but you kind of gave off Mr. Boss's position as you were trying to help."

"Mr. Boss... Yeah..." Perfect moment to play along. "What are we up to anyway? I can't wait to get down to business, to distract me, maybe." Half true half lie, yep, I'm most definitely going crazy.

"Nah, same as always, you're not supposed to know." He just smirked at me. I just stared thinking on how to make him spit it out when none-other then Shaunie walked in. He was unmistakable, at fist I thought Fanny had come-back to life or something but no, it was her baby-brother. Speaking of brothers I wonder what Tommy would think of me now. Ooh no, bad thought, depressed me... "Hey, Shaunie, can I help you, guest?" Shaunie just made a gesture 'no' and walked past me and picked something up, but it was on his way back to the bedroom door that he looked at me in the eyes and muttered a silent 'help me'. I remember what I said on the day I graduated, every word. Now this was sure; I've never felt so dirty in my entire life, not like I felt it now.

"Right... Of course... But you're going to tell me-" I griped Shaunie's wrist and pulled him behind me, Lucky for me I'm not stupid enough to come here unarmed. I pulled the B.O.T.T.L.E.C.A.P. hidden in the bag along with what's supposed to be my clothes. I point it at his face. "Or I'll dispose of whatever it is this kid means to you!" It was only when I pulled Shaunie and put the B.O.T.T.L.E.C.A.P. to his head that Chad actually reacted. He laughed, that's... kinda bad... No wait scratches that, having Cree pull you back by the shirt, now THAT is kinda bad.

"The hell do you think you're doing, you stupid kid!" Now usually I don't panic but surrounded by two of the best ex-operatives the KND has ever had was not a comfortable position for a boy of my age.

"J-just..." Thank God for Shaunie. He kicked Cree's knee and ran for it. I did the most brave thing I could muster, I ran after him. We burst out through the front door and a few minutes more before actually reaching the Uno residence. I thought 'Yes! My name's definitely going to be cleared once I deliver Fanny's little brother safe and sound!'. But when I saw Numbuh 86 standing there and Shaunie just smiling at her as she griped my wrists behind my back I decided I was getting very tired of not knowing what was going on.

"Thanks for being such a good boy this far, Now all we have to do is wait." I was not sure if she was saying that to me, Shaunie, or both. I was sure that I waited there, tied and gagged in the yard of the Unos for a pretty long while until I realized what they were waiting for. They were waiting for a rescue mission, I've never felt so much like an idiot before and- Oh no!

"Stop right there... uh, ok, but don't move you fiends of injustice!" That's Tommy's unmistakable voice and lack of coolness skills. This is getting complicated. Why would they use me to get to him, and who are they working with anyway? WHAT'S GOING ON HERE!

Author Note: complicated indeed - hmmm Coming up next:

"There are thousands of Kids in the world, MILLIONS, why him?" I asked in bewildered despair.

So yes, you get to know what this is all ABOUT! I'm so sorry for the last plot-less 6 chapters, I just had to make the scenery, know what I mean?
