Chapter Two
Hoagie's POV
"Hahaha! Take that!"
"Numbuh 3-T, you cheated."
"Nuh-uh!"
I could hear Numbuh 3-T and 4-T arguing about their videogame from all the way in my room. Dude, you can't get any louder that that! I swear to god I can't believe after all these years, they're still not going out. Ugh, can't think about that yet, gotta get to work.
I looked at the totaled mustard gun in front of me, owned by Numbuh 86-T. It got destroyed during a mission, and of course she blamed me. I totally knew it wasn't my fault but for some reason a twinge of guilt twisted my stomach and I offered to fix it, me being, like, the best 2x4 techie in the TND! I was actually expecting her to refuse, but she handed it to me, well what was left anyway.
That was a week ago. Yes, I have been in my room for a week trying to fix a mustard gun. I knew it was totally damaged beyond repair, but I also knew it was 86's favourite weapon. Wait, why does that matter anyway?
I hear someone knocking at my door. "Come in!" I say.
"Numbuh 2," Said Numbuh 5-T as she stepped through my door. "you've been working on that thing for a week now!"
"I know..." I sigh. "But I'm pretty sure I can fix it."
"Boy, you and I both know that that gun is damaged beyond repair."
"No, no I can fix it!"
"Look why don't ya tell Numbuh 86 that it's broken?"
I froze. If I did tell 86 that the mustard gun was totaled an unrepairable, she'd yell at me calling me a stupid boy and other things I'm too scared to think of.
"Look, if you wanted to impress Numbuh 86..."
"W-what?" And for some odd reason I can feel a blush creeping up on my face. What was I blushing about anyway? I'm not trying to impress Numbuh 86. "I'm not trying to impress Fanny!"
I saw a smirk on Abby's face. "You just called her by her name."
I can feel myself blush again. Ugh, not cool Hoagie! "S-so? I call you by your name too!"
"Yeah, when we're off duty!"
Crap. She's got me there. Uhh... think... "Well... we're kinda off duty too! Yeah, and besides what does it matter if I call her by her name."
"Oh nothing." She said as she slid her red hat over her eyes. She does this whenever she's hiding something. I guess she doesn't want me to see the sarcastic look in her eyes. "Numbuh 5 is out."
And with that she left my room. Good now I can get to work on - Oh you know what? Forget it. Abby's right, can't fix it. I guess I'm gonna have to face the consequences and when they're dealt by 86, they aint pretty.
I hear a plane flying overhead. Numbuh 1 must be back from his meeting at TND HQ. I leave my room to go greet him back.
"Hey Numbuh 1! How'd it go? Was it fun? Huh? Huh?" Asked Kuki. All these years and she still acts like she's hyped up on sugar.
"It was... okay." Said Nigel. I noticed he smirked at me a little. Okaay, did I miss something?
