(Sort of a sequel of "How Octonaughty Became Octonaughty")
This story is based on the episode The Team Factor but more dramatic. A fellow numberhuman decided to ask the What Iffer what this whole thing is was a game of Team Factor Game but decided...
"But maybe we shouldn't say their name out loud yet.." Emmet scratches his head.
"But can we find them though? Because I have no clue what you two are thinking-" Simon asks. The other two stare at him in big shock. "You know what? Maybe we should tell Francine first. She's the cop, right?" Everyone nodded to agreement and head to the police station first.
Meanwhile, the person who planned this was watching them, and knew that they knew. "Well, I knew it was almost time."
Back at the Police Station
"So you think it's that person?" Francine points at the paper. Everyone nods in sync. Even Simon still nods even though he has no clue. "So you want me to catch that person? Because you are very sure that it's plotted by that person?" Everyone else continued to nod in sync. "Well, if you say so." So everyone went out to 'hunt down' that person.
"Let's all split up just in case." Francine brings out a map of the town. "I'll go here, Emmet can come with me but check there. Teresa, maybe by the theater, and Simon-" Simon gave Francine the puppy eyes.

"Er.. I have no idea where you want to go, so what about- you stay at the lab. Because, you know the saying: 'the criminal always returns the scene of the crime' or something like that-." Francine stares at Simon with great concern. And for Simon: he wanted to go to one of the clubhouses. Because he left a bouquet of flowers for Faye when everything comes back to normal.
"But they already have-" but then Teresa puts her pointer finger to Simon's mouth.
"Just in case." she says, and shakes Simon's head a little then let him go.
Everyone walks outside.
"Everyone is ready?" Emmet shouts as he raises his fist up.
"YESS!" Teresa screams and they both charge off. Francine laughs and runs up to Emmet. Simon, pretends to walk somewhere else but then walks into the lab's backdoor just in case the traitor was watching.
To where Teresa is
"HELLO?" Teresa yells out in the empty theater. Her voice echoes and echoes and echoes until it fades away. She stops to hear someone else's breathing. But her own breathing was too loud. "YOOHOO" she yells out again. More echoing. "Seems like no one's here. Gladly I brought my trinoculars!" Teresa looks through the whole theater. "Oh, seems like no one's here."
Teresa brings her phone out and texts to the groupchat.
no 1 in the theater. where else should i go?
With Emmet and Francine
"So I'll knock on his house and you'll knock on theirs. I'm great friends with him!" Emmet whispers.
"Uh, sure, Your choice." Francine shrugs.
So Emmet knocks onto a door. Francine was behind him, just to see their reaction once Emmet asked a question. Right after three knocks, there was some shuffling, then some wood creaking noises, then finally the door opening. It was Seth who opened the door. He sort of hesitated at first, but then after seeing Francine behind Emmet, he started to cry.
"Y-you don't understand! I- w-" Seth was crying quite hard, Emmet and Francine just stared and each other and poor Seth on the ground, back and forth.
"Uh, seems like you were somehow part of it? Maybe you can explain the rest once you calm down at the station." Francine helps Seth stand up then walk to the police station. Emmet brings his phone out and texts to the groupchat.
no 1 in the theater. where else should i go?
idk also we got seth and were going to the PS
Back with Simon
Simon was pretty much sleeping while waiting for the gang to come back. The only time he woke up was when his phone rang. He's still sleeping now. But then he heard some steps coming into the lab. He must've thought it was a dream and continued to sleep. Until he heard a pin drop. He immediately stood up to see who it was. And it was the person he guessed after all.
"Seems like Francine was right after all." then both Simon and the person both said this at the same time: "the criminal always returns to the scene of the crime," but Simon added one more word at the end: "Nora."
