Hi! Here's chapter five! Got nothing to say. So, read, and review!
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Once the team had arrived at the tree house, they all brought Numbuh 4 to the Med Lab. "Okay, something happened at the hospital. We now need to guard over Numbuh 4 at all times! And, we're not going with one person watching him anymore, we're going to have to have two people. For now, Numbuh 3 and Numbuh 5 will do the guarding. Numbuh 2, I need yor help with something. Let's go!" said Numbuh 1, leaving with Numbuh 2.
They headed into the main room, and Numbuh 1 sat at the giant computer screen. Numbuh 2 joined him. "So, what did you need help with?" asked Numbuh 2, turning on the computer.
"Well, I think that Numbuh 4's doctor has something to do with this." said Numbuh 1. He had had previous suspicions before. But, he had realized that all doctors were under an oath that forbided them from abusing their medical priveleges. Now, he was certain that Dr. Payne had broken that oath.
"Numbuh 1, a doctor wouldn't do that." Numbuh 2 said. "But are you sure? It's not mere coincidence that Numbuh 4 becomes sick after coming home from the doctor's. It's because of the doctor that he's sick. And, I will find proof. What is the name of Numbuh 4's doctor?" asked Numbuh 1.
"Um, I think Numbuh 4 mentioned his last name being Payne." replied Numbuh 2. "Well, search for all doctors with the last name Payne." said Numbuh 1. Numbuh 2 did as he was instructed, and searched. They came up with about a hundred names. Scanning the list, they found the Dr. Payne they were looking for. He lived in the same city that they did.
Numbuh 1 wrote down the address of the office the doctor worked at. "Okay, tommorrow, I'll go search the doctor's office. For now, let's check up on the others." Numbuh 1 said, getting up and heading towards the Med Lab.
They entered the room. Numbuh 5 was sitting on a chair against the wall, and Numbuh 3 was sitting next to Numbuh 4's bed, holding his hand. "Is everything okay in here?" asked Numbuh 1. "Yeah, everything's fine." replied Numbuh 5. She was holding a S.P.L.A.N.K.E.R.
"Good. Anyways, we all might as well watch Numbuh 4 tonight. I'll go get some pillows and sleeping bags." Numbuh 1 said. Numbuh 5 got up to help him. "So, what did you guys do?" asked Numbuh 5. "I needed to find the doctor's office that Numbuh 4's doctor worked at." Numbuh 1 replied.
"What for?" she asked once they reached the closet where the sleeping bags were kept. "Because, I think it's the doctor's fault that Numbuh 4 is sick." said Numbuh 1, grabbing a sleeping bag.
"Well, Numbuh 5 says yo' crazy. Numbuh 5's daddy is a doctor, and he would never do that!" said Numbuh 5. "That's because your dad is a surgeon. Pediatrician's are different." Numbuh 1 said. "Numbuh 5 still says yo' crazy." she remarked.
After getting everything they needed, Numbuh 1 and Numbuh 5 left for the Mad Lab. Numbuhs 1, 2, and 5 set up their sleeping bags on the floor, while Numbuh 3 still sat next to Numbuh 4's bed.
"I'm gonna go get some blankets." said Numbuh 2. He left, and came back a few minutes later. Numbuh 2 fell asleep immediately, snoring loudly. Numbuh 5 was begining to become tired as well, while Numbuh 1 went over his plan.
An hour passed, and everyone was asleep. Even Numbuh 3 had dozed off, and was sleeping on the foot of Numbuh 4's bed. While everyone slept, Dr. Payne entered the tree house. He hadn't extracted the virus from Numbuh 4.
He snuck in quietly, and stealthily. He went into the room, and stood over Numbuh 4. He then pulled out another syringe, and drew some of Numbuh 4's blood. Numbuh 4 only made a small noise, but never woke up.
When he was finished, the doctor left. No one ever knew he was there.
Morning arrived, and Numbuh 1 awoke. He got up, and began to panic. He had realized that he had fallen asleep. Numbuh 1 went over to Numbuh 4 to make sure he was okay. The little prick where Numbuh 4 had gotten blood drawn was gone.
After confirming that Numbuh 4 was fine, Numbuh 1 woke up everyone else. "Listen, team, I'll be leaving soon. I need you all to watch Numbuh 4 constanly. I suggest you move his bed to the main room for better surveillance. Bye." said Numbuh 1.
He turned on his rocket shoes, and took off. He spotted the doctor's office, and landed in the parking lot. He had brought a backpack, and pulled a crowbar out of it. After opening the door, he entered. After looking around, Numbuh 1 went to the stairwell.
It took a while for him to get to the seventh floor, and by then, he was exhausted. Numbuh 1 then proceded to the children's office. He passed the area where the nurses usually sat, and went into the examining rooms.
"Okay, I should first search all the drawers of every room, then-" but, Numbuh 1 stopped mid-setence. He heard the sound of a door handle turning. He then heard the sound of footsteps.
"Yipe!" he said, hiding behind a chair. The footsteps got closer, and closer. He could see the knob turning, but it stopped. "Wrong room." said the person. The voice was that of a man's.
Numbuh 1 let out a sigh of relief. This was gonna be tricky.
While Numbuh 1 was searching the doctor's office, the others sat on the chairs in the main room. They had decided to move Numbuh 4 onto the couch, since they couldn't watch him and the T.V. at the same time.
Numbuh 3 sat on the same couch as Numbuh 4, his head in her lap. The expression on her face was sad. Numbuh 2 was sitting on the floor, and Numbuh 5 sat on another couch, reading her magazine.
As she sat there, Numbuh 3 let out a tear that landed on Numbuh 4's forehead. He groaned. "Numbuh 4?" Numbuh 3 asked, her expression changing. The others looked up from what they were doing.
Numbuh 4's eyes opened up. "Where am I?" he asked, sitting up and rubbing the back of his head. Numbuh 3 was overcome with joy. "Oh, you're awake!" she said, pulling him into a tight hug. She nearly squeezed the life out of him.
After about a minute of hugging, she released him, smiling ear to ear. Numbuh 4 blushed. He then looked around. He realized he was at the treehouse. "What am I doing at the treehouse?" he asked.
"Well, you see, you got really sick at the Kids Next Door Hospital. You had a bad fever, convulsions, the works. So, we took you to the adult hospital to get treated, and-" But, Numbuh 5 was interupted.
"I was at the adult hospital!" Numbuh 4 blurted out. The others stared at him. "Are you saying you don't remember going to the adult hospital?" Numbuh 5 asked. "No, I don't. Listen, if this is some cruddy joke, then I ain't laughing." Numbuh 4 said, folding his arms.
The others were shocked. "So you don't remember waking up at the adult hospital, or Numbuh 3 hugging you like crazy, or any of that?" asked Numbuh 2. "Nope." Numbuh 4 replied.
There was silence. "Numbuh 4, what was the last thing you remember?" Numbuh 3 asked, concern in her voice. Numbuh 4 thought for a moment. "I don't remember." he said. "It's simple. Before you fell asleep, what event do you remember happening?" asked Numbuh 5.
"I said, I don't remember!" Numbuh 4 shouted. Suddenly, he held the sides of his head. He appeared to be in pain. "Numbuh 4, are you okay?" Numbuh 3 asked. "My...head...hurts." he replied, his teeth gritted.
"Numbuh 5 will go get you an ice pack." said Numbuh 5, getting up and heading towards the fridge. She came back and handed Numbuh 4 the ice pack. "Thanks." said Numbuh 4 through gritted teeth.
"Don't mention it." replied Numbuh 5. She then turned around and headed for the giant computer. "Whatcha doing?" asked Numbuh 2. "I'm gonna contact Numbuh 1 and tell him what's goin' on." she replied, sitting in the chair.
"Okay." said Numbuh 2. Numbuh 3 pushed a few buttons, and Numbuh 1's face appeared on the screen. "This Numbuh 1 of Sector V. State your business." he said very professionally.
"Numbuh 1, this is Numbuh 5." she said. "Oh. Hey, Numbuh 5. What is it?" he asked. "Well, I got some good news and some bad news for ya'" she replied. "What's the good news?" Numbuh 1 asked.
"Well, the good news is, Numbuh 4's awake." she said. "And the bad news?" he questioned. "The bad news is, he has amnesia."
