A/N
This is a bit of a shorter chapter, so I'm really sorry about that. It was really hard to scrape this one together. 😅

     Numbuh 1 stared two doors down the dark hall to the light that seeped out from the half open door of the medical room.
He looked down and stood with an anxious expression on his face. 
What am I going to do about this? He thought nervously. 
He stood there for a few minutes, trying to think of a way to procrastinate. 
Although, thinking of a way to procrastinate is procrastinating in itself... He thought to himself grudgingly.
He took a few deep breaths to calm himself down, and decided to be as responsible as he could be in that moment.
He walked down the hall to where the rest of the team was, and, obviously, told the half truth.
"Alright, listen up team. I need Numbuh 2, Numbuh 3, and Numbuh 5 to continue the investigation of the teenagers hideout. Search the entire place, but be discreet about it." He stated to the three operatives. They got off of the couch and stood. 
"Yes sir!" They said in unison.
They turned and started heading out the door. 
Numbuh 1 turned and started walking away too, but then remembered something. 
"Ah, one more thing." He got their attention. "Numbuh 4... has been infected with a virus by the teenagers. I need you all to be extremely careful. And Numbuh 5's in charge." 
They nodded once more. Nigel turned to walk away again. 
Hoagie paused for a minute and turned to face Numbuh 1 again.
"But aren't you coming Numbuh 1?" He asked. Nigel turned to him and shook his head.
"Sorry, I've got to stay here and take care of Numbuh 4. And remember to give frequent updates and call for help if you need it." Hoagie nodded and turned toward the door, but halted and turned to numbuh 1 again. 
"Wait, so Numbuh 4 isn't coming either?"
"No! Now shut up and GO ALREADY!" Nigel yelled and shoved them out the door. He shut it and leaned against the door with a sigh. 
I need a day off when this is over. He thought ironically. 
He sweatdropped as he stared down the hall for a few minutes and mentally prepared himself for the inevitable.
He built up his confidence and took a deep breath in. 
He slowly walked down the hall, pacing his steps towards the room. And then he opened the door before he lost his nerve.
