EIGHT

When Numbuh 1 heard that his teammates would be decommissioned he wished that he hadn't acted so rudely toward them. After all, they were his friends, teammates, and were like family to him. The organization he was a part of was SO secretive that not even Sector V could know about them. Maybe it was better this way. His friends wouldn't remember anything about the Kids Next Door or him. This way no one could get hurt. As Nigel looked up at Numbuh 9L, he knew that no matter how much he didn't like the idea, he knew it was for the best.

"Do what you have to 9L," he said on his way out the door. "I've got to go and speak with our prisoner."

"What's going on Numbuh 362? What are the GKND up to," Numbuh 5 said impatiently.

"Your friend is in more danger than you know Abby. The organization itself is one of immoral values."

"They want to wipe out all adults!" Numbuh 60 said directly.

The operatives all gasped in shock.

"So the idea of the Splinter Cell was true!" Hoagie said. "They want to wipe out all adults including the non-evil ones!"

Numbuh 362 shook her head sadly. "Yes, I'm afraid so Numbuh 2."

Suddenly, from out of nowhere a loud explosion occurred above the bunker. Rachel instructed Numbuh 60 to check the security cameras. He went over to the computer and pushed some buttons. Once the cameras appeared, it showed some strange operatives lurking around the office just above them. The moonbase was under attack...by the GKND.

"They've found us," Numbuh 60 warned.

Numbuh 1 walked by the security prison entrance. A guard on duty asked for Numbuh 1's name and answer to a riddle. He then responded and was granted access to the prison. Insider were cells in which the GKND held all types of prisoners. As Nigel walked by the containment cells, he noticed creatures, aliens, animals, and even humans of every shape, size, gender, and color. At the end of the long rows of cells was one at the very end of the hall. It held none other than Chad Dickson, Numbuh 274. He was sitting on the ground of his cell with his back up against the concrete wall. His face and arms were full of bruises and scrapes; probably from the interrogation procedures. Sadly Numbuh 1 could care less. How dare he betray the Galactic Kids Next Door! With Chad, it had been like everything else. He only cared about himself.

"Nigel, now will you let me explain," he asked standing up after noticing Numbuh 1.

"Why should I?"

"Then why'd you come here Nigel?! I know why. You want answers right?!"

Numbuh 1 began to turn away.

"Listen to me, things aren't adding up and YOU know it!" Chad yelled with his hands on the cell bars.

Without warning, Numbuh 1 reached his hands through the bars and grabbed Chad by the shirt.

"YOU BETRAYED US! Sound familiar! Why should I listen to anything you say!"

"Because you're Nigel Uno! I used to think you'd listen to a fellow operative. To a teammate...to a friend..."

Numbuh 1 released Chad from his grip, and scoffed. He then proceeded to begin walking back down the hallway.

"This just in Chad...we aren't friends."

Before he was out of earshot, 274 gave one final cry of innocence.

"The GKND is evil Nigel! You don't know what they're capable of! They'll destroy the Earth!"

The prison doors opened and as 1 walked out, he could still hear the cries of his former friend echoing through the building.

Back at the moonbase, Numbuhs 2-5, 60, and 362 were in a lot of trouble. The ground shook above them as GKND operatives stormed the moonbase. It was like an earthquake (or moonquake?) was occurring. The shaking of the ground caused a lot of noise as well. In fact, it caused so much noise that the operatives decided to stop the whispering and yell out commands to one another.

"Guys! Follow me!" Numbuh 60 yelled.

The operatives followed him down the long dark corridor once more until they came to two vehicles.

"Escape pods?" Wally said stating the obvious.

"But what about you Numbuh 60?" Kuki said worriedly.

Numbuh 60 lowered his head. "You guys just go!"

Numbuh 362 put a hand on his shoulder. "We can't just leave you behind!"

"GO!" Patton yelled pointing at the escape vehicles.

With one final tear falling from Numbuh 362's face, she Numbuh 5 and Numbuh 2 got in one pod while Numbuhs 3 and 4 got into the other. 60 raised a weapon in his hands and began running down the end of the corridor back to the other room. He could hear the pods blasting away to safety. As he looked at the security cameras, he knew it was only a matter of time before the secret hideout would be found out. Looking around the room at the computers and transmitter, 60 knew what he had to do: destroy the evidence. If the GKND found out about them snooping, he would be in even more trouble. Patton then took his weapon and blasted both the computers, transmitter and even the mini-fridge. However, it seemed he had already been found out because one he destroyed the machines a voice called out to him from the door.

"No need to destroy evidence Patton Drilovsky. We already know," the voice said.

As Patton looked up and saw a strange creature-like operative standing in the doorway. The number on her uniform read, Numbuh NB476. She had pale green skin and short purple hair, but other than that she appeared human. Approaching Numbuh 60, she took out a strange device and showed it to him. The device revealed that he and Numbuh 362 were targets of the organization. Growing angry, 60 tried to fire his weapon, but before he could this NB476 stunned him with the device. He fell to the floor with a thud. "You may have got me but you'll never find 362! She'll outsmart all of you!" The operative didn't look at all surprised that 362 escaped. In fact, she seemed kind of glad.

"Maybe not, but I've got you and that's all I need," she said towering over him.
