Chapter 2: One Strange Relation

Chad was called right into Father's office. The loyal agent to Father didn't know what Father wanted. But Chad approached Father's office door and opened it.

"Ah, Mr. Dickson, come in, come in" said Father, "please sit down."

"So, Father" said Chad as he sat down on the chair next to his desk, "what did you call me for?"

"We have received reports that a Kids Next Door operative known as Number 007 has recently escaped the moon base" replied Father as he showed Chad images of Number 007.

"That's my cousin James Dickson" said Chad, "why do you expect him to join our side?"

"You mean you two are not that close?" asked Father, "Please do tell why."

"That little squirt couldn't betray the Kids Next Door if his life depended on it" replied Chad, "believe me; I certainly know he once stated he would never be like me."

"Hmm, interesting" said Father, "so you're telling me that this Number 007, also known as James Dickson is 1000 percent loyal to the Kids Next Door? Hmm, maybe someone must have changed his age like how you did with some of those KN brats."

"So why did you wanted me for?" asked Chad.

"Since the motive of your cousin isn't to share secret information about the Kids Next Door, someone within his sector probably was the one who switched his age" said Father, "I would like for you to find that operative who committed that helpful act. I believe that operative can provide vital information for us on how to destroy the Kids Next Door once and for all! Is that clear?"

"Yes, sir" replied Chad as he began to leave Father's office.

"And oh, while you're at it, continue to make those Kids Next Door think this Number 007 is the main culprit" said Father.

As Chad left Father's office, Sector V had already arrived at Chad's place. The five members of Sector V were heavily armed, considered this wasn't just the residence of a known traitor to the Kids Next Door, but also to Mega-Mom and Destructo-Dad, two other notorious villains that nearly destroyed the Kids Next Door for good.

"Okay" said Number 1, "this is a simple recon mission to find any close relations between Number 007 and the Kids Next Door traitor-Chad."

"I think I should stay with the COOLBUS" said Number 2 in a frighten voice, "I mean, this is the place of Mega-Mon and Destructo-Dad's residence as well."

"Oh come on" said Number 1, "just get going."

As Sector V readied their weapons and moved into the house, the house appeared to be unoccupied. So Number 1 who was leading the group signaled his teammates to follow him to Chad's room. While Sector V were trying to be quite careful into looking for Chad's room, Number 007 arrived on the scene with the two-by-four fighter he had stolen from the moon base. He knew that his cousin was perhaps the only one who could have changed his age to thirteen. So he readied his weapon and head into the house, unaware that Sector V was already searching Chad's room.

"So, do we have any information that James and Chad were ever close?" asked Number 1 to his teammates who were searching through various photos of Chad along with his files he had kept.

"Nope" replied Number 5 as she showed Chad giving a wedgie to James, "doesn't seem like Number 007 would be the type of kid to betray us."

"That's certainly strange" said Number 1 who was examining the photo, "I could have sworn Number 362 stating he was one of our most secretive operatives."

"Looks like somebody has come home" said Number 3 as she heard a door open down below.

"It must be Mega-Mom and Destructo-Dad or worse Chad" said Number 2 in a frighten voice.

"Arm your weapons" said Number 1, "we're going in."

As Sector V armed themselves and headed downstairs, Number 007 was trying to find a way upstairs when he began to hear footsteps coming down. So he quickly hid behind a sofa and waited. As he peaked his head, he notice it was Sector V, probably trying to search and apprehend him. So Number 007 took out some sort of smoke grenade and threw it. Members of Sector V didn't have a chance as it gave time for Number 007 to escape the house. But it was just enough time for Number 1 to escape the smoke that was causing some trouble for the rest of his teammates. Number 007 thought he was about to head toward freedom, that is until Number 1 launched a water balloon from his two-by-four weapon, knocking him unconscious.

"Wow Number 1" said Number 4 as he and the rest of Sector V came into the scene, "you got him."

"I don't think we should give him back to Number 86 just yet" said Number 1, "there's something quite suspicious on why would a dedicated operative like this would suddenly be commissioned. Take him to the tree house and we'll deal with him from there."

As Number 007 was being placed onto the COOLBUS by members of Sector V, a mysterious figure was watching the events unfold who was on the roof of the house. As the figure became clearer into view, it revealed to be a kid with some sunglasses and a black suit giving an evil smirk knowing that Number 007 is out of the way. As Sector V leaves the scene on the COOLBUS with Number 7, the strange operative takes out his communicator and starts to phone in on Father. Father meanwhile, was busy doing a crossword busy on the newspaper he was reading when there was suddenly a call by Mr. Boss.

"Sir" said Mr. Boss on the inner comm., "we have someone you would like to talk to."

"This better be important" said Father, "on screen."

A computer image of some sort of a Kids Next Door operative appeared.

"Greetings Father" said the strange operative, "I can see you are quite interested in knowing how to destroy the Kids Next Door."

"Really brat" said Father, "so I suspect you must be the one to have changed Number 007's age to have him be decommissioned?"

"You guessed right" replied the operative, "I'm Number 008 of Sector Alpha. I think sharing information on some moles in your teenager circles would quite suit your agenda along with finding out any other traitors within your adult circle."

"Very interesting" said Father as he suddenly became interested, "why do you want to help someone like me?"

"Let's just say I never liked the Kids Next Door anyway" replied Number 008, "plus your Delightful Children promised that I could get anything I want."

"Hmm, perhaps we can discuss more on this" said Father.

"I don't have access to that information yet on the Kids Next Door and their secret operatives" said Number 008, "I can't gain control of Sector Alpha until Number 007 has been decommissioned."

"Don't worry" said Father as he turned off the computer screen, "we'll make sure Number 007 gets decommissioned."
