Operation: H.A.N.D.U.F.F.S.
Chapter Six:A phone call.
"Oh, come on. It can't be that bad" she said with a smile, as she patted him on the arm. Numbuh 1 lowered his arms helplessly, then looked at Numbuh 5 powerlessly and sighed, she smiled. Then they heard someone came into the room.
"Hey, what's up guys?" Numbuh 2 said as he and Numbuh 4 entered the room. Numbuhs 1 and 5 turned to the door they came in. Numbuh 5 smiled strangely.
"...Nothin'...and now, if ya excuse us, we've got a call to make" she said as she put her left hand on Numbuh 1's shoulder "Right?". Then she spun around and headed for the door, dragging Numbuh 1 with her. The expression on his face was a composite of surprisement and fear. Numbuhs 2 and 4 looked at them with astonishment.
"What's going on in here?" Numbuh 2 asked scraching his head as the two kids left the room. Numbuh 4 looked at him and shrugged his shoulders.
"Soo...maybe weh would watch some movie, hm?" Numbuh 4 said to his friend. Numbuh 2 smiled.
"Ok!" he said and ran to the couch. Numbuh 4 followed him and turn the TV on. Then he turned to Numbuh 2.
"Hey, um...and where is Numbuh 3?" he asked. Numbuh 2 looked at him and shrugged his shoulders.
"I don't know. She's not in her room?" Numbuh 2 asked.
"Um...She's not...Ah saw her last when her mom called here some time ago" Numbuh 4 said and turned to the TV.
"So maybe she left home" Numbuh 2 said and also turned to the TV. The two boys turned some film on and started to watch.
In the meantime Numbuh 5 dragged Numbuh 1 to his room. Then she handed him the phone.
"There! Now yo' turn. Call her" she said and Numbuh 1 looked at her with eyes of victim. Numbuh 5 gave him an angry, cold and inexorable look, he sighed and picked the receiver "Ya know Numbuh 5 can't do it for ya" Numbuh 5 added. He slowly dialed Lizzie's number and waited to be through. After a while he heard the voice on the phone.
"Hello?" Lizzie said hapilly.
"...H-Hi Lizzie...It's Nigel..." Numbuh 1 started.
"Oh, hi Nigy!" Lizzie said even more happily.
"...Um...listen LIzzie..." he said and looked up at Numbuh 5, only to see her relentless look. He sighed "...I...I have to tell you...um...I..." he continued.
"What is it Nigy?" the girl asked. Numbuh 1 gupled.
"I...um...we can't meet tommorrow..." he finally said it.
"What?...But why?" Lizie asked like she didn't belive in what she heard.
"Well...um...because...um...we have a big and important mission..." Numbuh 1 tried to lie the best he could, but it wasn't easy.
"But...we can meet later in that week" the girl said more hapilly.
"Um...actually...we can't meet this week..." he continued.
"Oh Nigy! But you promised me!" she cried.
"I know, I know...but I can't do anything about it..." Numbuh 1 tried to excuse himself.
"Fine!"Lizzie snorted.
"R-Really?" Numbuh 1 asked not sure if she really agreed, because she didn't sound like she did.
"Yeah!...I can wait...I guess!" she said apparently agreing, but her voice sounded a bit sarcasticly and she was still angry. Numbuh 1 was sure of it "Godbye then...Nigel!" she finished with anger.
"Um...ok, bye then..." Numbuh 1 said but Lizzie hung up before he could finish. He sighed and put the receiver away.
"Man! That girl surely HAS problems with her temper!" Numbuh 5 said and looked at Numbuh 1. She patted him on the shoulder "Oh, don't worry boss. It's gonna be alright, she'll get over it" she added. He loked up at her and sighed again.
"Hope you're right Numbuh 5..." he said unsurely.
"Come on boss. Numbuh 5 thought ya had some report to write" Numbuh 5 said smiling. Numbuh 1 smiled in response.
"Sure" he said and they both approached his desk. A while later Numbuh 1 was writing the report from their last mission, and Numbuh 5 was reading some magazine that she found in Numbh 1's room.
"You know, if you want to read some of yours magazines, we can go to your room for it" Numbuh 1 said, surprised that she wanted to read some boys magazine.
"Um...no, it's ok. Numbuh 5 can read this one. It's not even that boring" Numbuh 5 answered. Numbuh 1 looked at her unsurely.
"Ok...as you want" he said and got back to his work. After around 40 minutes Numbuh 5 got bored. It really seemed to last forever.
"When are ya gonna finish?" she asked stretching, and yawned.
"One moment Numbuh 5. I'm almoust done" he answered not looking at her. Numbuh 5 yawned again and turned to the magazine.
"Numbuh 5's already read it all and has nothin' to do now..." she said and put away the magazine, then she leaned on the back of the chair with her one hand behind her head "...Not even to mention that she has to go to the bathroom..." she addded and Numbuh 1 looked at her a bit confused.
"Oh...ok, um...give me one moment" Numbuh 1 answered in confused note, and got back to writing. After a short while he was finished. He cleared up all the papers and put them away "I'm done" he said and turned the computer off. Then he got up and turned to Numbuh 5 "Let's go then" he added and Numbuh 5 got up as well. They left his room and headed for the bathroom. It still was very embarrasing for both of them. They really tried to cope with that situation, though it wasn't easy. It was just the first day, that they spent in handcuffs as a whole. After that they headed for the living room to see what the others were doing. There was nothing interesting to do, so the rest of the day passed very calmly. As the late evening came Numbuhs 2, 3 and 4 headed for their rooms. When Numbuhs 3 and 4 were leaving the living room, Numbuh 4 looked at his handcuffed friends and smiled mischievously, then looked at Numbuh 3 and she giggled. As Numbuh 1 noticed they didn't left the room yet he looked at them angirly. The two kids left the room giggling. Numbuh 1 and Numbuh 5 put the couch up again and brought their bedclothes. They sat down on the bed, each on the other end, and took their shoes off. Numbuh 5 lay down first and covered herself with quilt. She waited for Numbuh 1 to lie down so she could turn to the side. She wasn't looking at him though. As Numbuh 1 lay down as well he looked at her and felt a bit confused again.
"Um...Goodnight Numbuh 5" he said and Numbuh 5 turned to him.
"Oh...yeah...goodnight Numbuh 1" she said and turned to her left side as she did last night. The whole situation made them very tired so they fell asleep quite fast. Next morning Numbuh 5 woke up first. Before she even opened her eyes she felt vey hot. She was beginning to sweat under the quilt. She sat up, took her hat off and wiped her forehead.
"Oh man...it's so hot" she said quietly. Then she turned to Numbuh 1, he was lying on his back, still sleeping. She watched him for a moment, then she leaned on the back of the couch and took some magazine from the little table that was standing next to the couch. She held the magazine with her left hand, leaving her right one lying on the bed, just to not disturb Numbuh 1 in sleeping. She uncovered herself to her tights because she felt too hot to stay underneeth the quilt. A while later Numbuh 1 moved a little and uncovered himself a bit. As Numbuh 5 felt his movement she looked down at him. It seemed he felt hot as well, he was sweating too. She then looked up, outside the window, there was not even a single cloud on the sky. She looked at the clock on the table, it was 8:30 am, and it was already so hot outside. Only from time to time she could feel some gentle breeze coming into the room. A few minutes later she felt Numbuh 1 was moving again. She looked down at him. He uncovered the quilt a little more and stretched yawning. He rubbed his eyes a little and when he opened them he looked up, only to see Numbuh 5 staring at him. He looked at her tiredly.
"Oh, good morning Numbuh 5" he said and yawned. Numbuh 5 felt confused, just like she'd only now realised that she was staring at him.
"Oh...um...yeah...good morning Numbuh 1" she said with confision, and turned to the window again.
"Um...is it only me...or is it very hot today?" Numbuh 1 asked as he leaned on his hands and sat up. Numbuh 5 turned to him, calm again.
"No, it's not only ya, it IS very hot outside" she said as she watched him wipping his forehead.
"Yeah...and here too" Numbuh 1 said tiredly looking at his hand. Numbuh 5 felt very hot herself, she was dreaming about something cold to drink.
"So maybe we'll get up, Numbuh 5's really thirsty cause of this heat" she said as she put the magazine on her lap.
"Yeah, I'm thirsty too" Numbuh 1 said as he turned to her. Numbuh 5 put the magazine away and put her hat on, then uncovered her quilt. Numbuh 1 did the same and moved to the edge of the bed to find his slippers. They both slowly got up and headed for the kitchen. Numbuh 5 got out something to drink and Numbuh 1 reached for the ice from the freezer. As the ice melted in the juice, Numbuh 5 picked up the glass and put it against her cheek.
"Ah...it's so nice..." she said with a smile as she closed her eyes "So cold..." she added smiling. Numbuh 1 watched her with astonishment and drunk a bit of his juice. It was really nice to drink something cold at such a hot day. Numbuh 5 drunk a bit as well and sighed "Ah...today is such a great day for the beach" she said after a while and looked at Numbuh 1 "But even if we'd want people to see us like that, we can't change from our clothes" she said and sighed again.
"Well, I just hope it won't get hotter" Numbuh 1 said as he looked at Numbuh 5.
"Yeah, Numbuh 5 hopes too" she said tiredly.
"Hey guys, what's up?" Numbuh 2 said as he walked into the kitchen "It's really hot today, isn't it" he added as he reached for his cereal and some milk "It's a great weather for the beach" he said with a smile and looked at Numbuhs 1 and 5, only to see their tired looks, and to realise that they can't go anywhere "Oh...um...I forgot...you can't go anywhere" he said a bit sadly. Then he sat and started to eat his breakfast. Numbuh5 just siged tiredly, and NUmbuh 1 didn't say anything.
"Good morning guys!" Numbuh 3 said in a singsong voice as she entered the kitchen. She then started to look for something for breakfast.
"Mornin'" Numbuh 5 answered tiredly.
"Oh man! Wha' a hot day! Ah'm dyin'..." Numbuh 4 said as he leaned on the door frame tiredly "Ah need somethin' to drink..." he said slowly and then approached the fridge to search for some juice.
"Maybe we all go to the beach today!" Numbuh 3 said happily.
"Yeah!" Numbuh 4 said entusiasticly.
"But Numbuh 1 and Numbuh 5 can't go you know" Numbuh 2 said as he turned to Numbuhs 3 and 4. They made a little sad faces.
"Oh...yeah" Numbuh 3 said.
"But ya can go without us" Numbuh 5 said.
"What?" Numbuh 1 asked.
"I guess ya don't want them to sit at home all day jus' because WE can't go" she said.
"But there's so much work to do in here!" Numbuh 1 argued.
"What work? Comuter can work by itself. And If we needed them, we'd jus' call them" Numbuh 5 said.
"Yey?" Numbuh 3 exclaimed happily "that's cool!"
"Alroit!" Numbuh 4 exclaimed. Numbuh 2 smiled. Numbuh 1 slapped his forehead. As they ate their breakfast they headed for their rooms to pack all the stuff for the beach. Numbuhs 1 and 5 left in the kitchen drinking juice with ice.
"Ah...Numbuh 5 doesn't know how she's gonna survive the day in this heat..." Numbuh 5 said.
"Yeah...I must admit that today even I would like to go to the beach" Numbuh 1 said tiredly.
"Really?" Numbuh 5 asked surprised.
"Yeah" he answered smiling.
"Then that's a shame that we can't go" Numbuh 5 said with a slight smile.
"Perhaps...but I still think it's a waste of time" Numbuh 1 said.
"Oh be quiet, and pass Numbuh 5 some more ice" Numbuh 5 said with a smile, and Numbuh 1 reached out and opened the freezer.
There, I hope you liked it! Well it seemed maybe a little boring to me...but I really hope you don't think the same. Anyway please, please, please review! I really NEED reviews! Bye bye then! And see ya soon!
