Somehow Ten and Eleven were able to convince Twelve to join them more quickly than Alex anticipated. By the time he had managed to make his way to the nursery the twins were waiting there with both Twelve and Sixteen. It was nearly 1 AM by this point but everyone from Ten down was here.
He still hadn't heard anything from Five. Her luck might not be as good as theirs but he couldn't worry about that right now.
Convincing the Numbers that had never left headquarters before had been time-consuming but ultimately not terribly difficult. The younger they were, the easier they were lured away with promises of delicious food and interesting things to see.
It was incredible that none of them had been caught yet since about half of the Numbers were out of bed right now. Those night guards were completely useless!
