Operation: HANDCUFFS

Chapter Five: A little wound and a problem

The day was passing very calmly and quietly. Nothing special was happening. As Numbuhs 2 and 4 got bored with playing video games, Numbuh 2 went to his room to check how the computer was working. Numbuh 4 got himself something to eat and sat on the couch again. Numbuh 3 came up and sat next to him.

"Hey Numbuh 4! let's play something!" she exclaimed joyfully. Numbuh 4 looked at her with mouth full of food.

"Yeah. Hure, juh' heh meh hinih" he said and Numbuh 3 gave him a confused look.

"What?" she asked and Numbuh 4 swollowed the food.

"Ah said. Sure, juss' let meh finish" Numbuh 4 replied. Numbuh 3 smiled in response.

"Ookey!" she said hapilly, smiling. Numbuh 1 turned to Numbuh 5.

"Actually, I'm getting hungry too" Numbuh 1 said taking off the headphones. Numbuh 5 looked at him and put down her magazine.

"Ok Numbuh 1, let's go to the kitchen then" Numbuh 5 said as she got up. Numbuh 1 got up as well and they both headed for the kitchen. Numbuh 4 watched them leaving the room, then turned to Numbuh 3. She was giggling. As he finished eating he asked:

"Why 're ya laughin'".

"Because they look funny. And actually, they are coping with it " Numbuh 3 answered. Numbuh 4 looked at her for a while, thinking. He now could say that she was right. Then he reached for joysticks for them and passed one to Numbuh 3.

"So wha'? Are weh gonna play?" he asked. Numbuh 3 smiled evily.

"Put it on!" she said taking the joystick and they started playing.

As Numbuhs 1 and 5 got themselves something to eat they came back to the living room. They sat down on the couch. Numbuh 5 ate her toast and watch the two friends playing.

"Um...Numbuh 5" Numbuh 1 said turning to her.

"Yeah?" she asked still looking at the TV.

"Um...I have to write the report form our yesterday mission, so..." he said but Numbuh 5 cut him off.

"Yeah, sure, we have to go to your room" she said turning to face him and smiled. Numbuh 1 smiled back not saying anything. Numbuh 5 turned to Numbuh 3 "Oh...um...Numbuh 3?".

"What is it Numbuh 5?" Numbuh 3 asked still busy with the game.

"Numbuh 5thinksshe's got hurt on the shoulder blade on that yesterday mission" Numbuh 5 said "So I thought that maybe ya could take a look at it later" she added.

"Sure Numbuh 5! Just as we finish the game!" Numbuh 3 replied with smile, eyes still stuck in the game. Numbuh 5 didn't say anything more, she didn't want to distract the girl. Numbuh 1 gave Numbuh 5 a worried look.

"You're hurt? Why didn't you say that earlier?" he asked as he looked at her. Numbuh 5 turned to him with her calm smile.

"Cause it's nothin' special or dangerous, it doesn't really hurt. Besides yesterday we were too tired to take care of that, and my head hurt much more than that wound, so I didn't even noticed it until todays mornin'" she answered cooly.

"Oh... well... guess you're right..." Numbuh 1 said and turned to look at the TV. Numbuh 5 did the same. Numbuhs 3 and 4 still kept playing, but they were close to the end.

"Yey!" Numbuh 3 exclaimed as the game ended, and dropped her joystick "I won! I won!" she screamed at the bottom of her lungs.

"Ah can't belive it!" Numbuh 4 exclaimed as he pushed his joystick to the floor with anger, and Numbuh 3 giggled. Numbuhs 1 and 5 watched them smiling. Numbuh 3 got up and started bouncing around the room. Numbuh 4 was watching her with angry face. After a while she came up to the couch where Numbuh 1 and Numbuh 5 were sitting.

"So, what did you wanted from me Numbuh 5?" Numbuh 3 asked happily with her cute smile.

"Um...could ya take a look on my shoulder blade?" Numbuh 5 replied.

"Sure!" Numbuh 3 said joyfully "Show it to me" she added as she sat next to her friend. Numbuh 5 turned her back to Numbuh 3, and threw her braid over her arm. Numbuh 3 hitched up Numbuh 5's T-shirt a little. Numbuh 1 looked at Numbuh 3 with curiosity "Yeah, it's just a small wound, actually it's even more like abrasion. I don't know do you wanna disinfect it. You know I can disinfect it just to be safe, and maybe it will help to heal it up" the girl said smiling and let go of Numbuh 5's T-shirt. Numbuh 5 turned to face Numbuh 3, and thought for a while.

"Ok Numbuh 3, if ya say it can help..." Numbuh 5 said. Suddenly the phone rang.

"Ah'll get it" Numbuh 4 said and approached the phone.

"Okey, so wait her Numbuh 5, I'll be right back" Numbuh 3 said and ran to the kitchen. As Numbuh 4 answered the phone he turned to his friends, when he saw Numbuh 3 already wasn't there he turned to the kitchen door.

"Numbuh 3! It's fo' ya!" he yelled. Numbuh 3 quickly ran out of the kitchen and approached the phone. She took the receiver from Numbuh 4.

"Hello?" she said in her singsong voice "Oh! Hi mom!".

"Ah'm goin' to mah room" Numbuh 4 said with tired expression, and headed for his room.

"Ok mom! Love you, bye!" Numbuh 3 said and put the receiver away. Then she came up to Numbuhs 1 and 5, with a small bottle and a little bit of cotton wool in her hands "That was my mom. I have to go home, and take care of Mushi for a while" she said and passed Numbuh 5 the bottle and the cotton wool "Here. um... Numbuh 1 can disinfect your wound, right?" she added with a smile "At least you won't escape from him when it hurts you a little" she giggled and headed for the door. The two kids watched her leaving with astonishment, like they didn't really know what to say. Then they looked at eachother a bit confused. Numbuh 5 pulled her hat more on her face.

"Come on. Numbuh 5 wants ta have it already behind her" she said with dislike as she passed him the bottle and the cotton wool. And she turned her back to him, leaving her right hand behind her back. Numbuh 1 just died away, looking at her not sure of what he just heard. But he quickly recovered himself from this state.

"Uh...oh...yeah...sure...as you want" he said as he opened the bottle. He looked at her back, Numbuh 5 just sat still, he gulped. Then he gently lifted her T-shirt up, he felt very nervous. He lifted the blue T-shirt as high as he should to see the wound on her right shoulder blade. He looked at her back for a while. Her skin was very smooth and clean in spite of that last mission and the fact that they couldn't take a bath. "Um...Numbuh 5 ?" he asked a bit nervously.

"Hmm?" she asked.

"Um...could you...hold the T-shirt with your hand?" Numbuh 1 finished.

"Sure... just hurry up, ok?" Numbuh 5 replied and reached her left hand over her right arm to hold the T-shirt. As Numbuh 1 had free hand, he dipped the cotton wool in the liquid. Then he very delicately and slowly touched Numbuh 5's wound with the cotton wool. She started at the touch of wet cotton wool, and hissed quietly with slight pain as she shut her eyes. Her start caused thrills on Numbuh 1's back, and he unexpectedly blushed a little.

"Sorry..." he said nervously, and bathed the wound again. This time Numbuh 5 almoust didn't feel pain at all. It only stung a little. Numbuh 5 felt like it all would last forever, though it was only a short while. She felt a bit nervous as well, but she didn't notice it that much. She rather thought she was just tired. She got impatient.

"Have ya finished already?" she asked keeping her calm attitude.

"Yeah. Just now...um...it didn't hurt, right?" Numbuh 1 said as he put the cotton wool away.

"...No" Numbuh 5 replied. He turn to her again, and again a slight blush spread across his face, when he looked at her back. Her skin was really so...silky, he shook his head and recovered.

"...You can let go of your T-shirt now" he said and Numbuh 5 did it. Then she turn to him. Numbuh 1 made a bit scared face, because she did it so suddenly.

"Thanks..." she said calmly, and smiled delicately. Numbuh 1 smiled rather nervously in response.

"U-huh... you're welcome..." he said. Numbuh 5 looked at him and thought for a while.

"Um...Ya know Numbuh 1...Numbuh 5's been thinking..." she started. Numbuh 1 gave her a curious look.

"Yeah?" he asked.

"...That...maybe we shouldn't leave the treehouse at all...or at least restrict the numbuh of these 'trips' outside to minimum...just for now..." she finished. Numbuh 1 looked at her thinking "...Ya know...if someone sees us...um...like that...then..." she continued.

"...Yeah...unfortunetally...I think you're right Numbuh 5..." Numbuh 1 replied. Numbuh 5 was just glad that he agreed with her, without argument. Numbuh 1 fell in thoughts for a while, then suddenly he got up from the chouch, so rapidly that it scared Numbuh 5 "Oh no..." he said "And speaking of going out..." he looked at Numbuh 5 with worry "...I've got a date with Lizzie tommorrow..." he finished and in his eyes Numbuh 5 could see worry and fear. She was silent for a while. She was thinking, and she was also worry.

"Then ya'll havta cancel it" she said straight and simply, as she looked in his eyes. He stared at her for a moment. Then his eyes filled with paic.

"B-but...I can't!" he exclaimed panicly. Numbuh 5 got up and raised her right hand in front of him.

"Ya don't 'ave a choise! In case ya 'aven't notice, we're handcuffed! And Numbuh 5 doubts tha' ya can hide her in yo' pocket, so Lizzie wouldn't see her! And if she sees us like tha', then who knows what she'll do!" Numbuh 5 yelled. Numbuh 1 looked at her still worried "And even if she somehow agreed on that, then Numbuh 5's not gonna go with ya on yo' date" she added, and Numbuh 1 understood that she was right. He was sure Lizzie would get very angry, if she saw them like that.

"But I promised her!" Numbuh 1 said, although he already gave up "She's gonna kill me!" he finished. And Numbuh 5 looked at him with astonishment.

"Oh, come on. It can't be that bad" she said with a smlie, as she patted him on the arm.
