Mudslide
Me: This story had just bummed in my head. I had read a fic that was about a mudslide and about a girl that died in Scott's hands. Poor Scott. And when I was working on a other fic, it came in to me. Why not make a fic that's about Virg, saving a litte girl and then get taken by the mudslide ? I hope you enjoy it.
Disclaimer: Still the same thing, I don't own TB, but Gerry Anderson does. The only thing I own are my story's.

Chapter 1 : Losing while saving.
The Tracy brothers, Alan, Gordon, Virgil were flying in Thunderbird 2 to the danger zone. International Rescue was called for a mudslide in San Bernardino in California.
"Thunderbird 2 to Mobile Control, What is yourr ETA, Virgil ?" Scott asked, at his younger brother.
"Thunderbird 2 here, ETA at 2 minutes, Scott. How does it look there ?" said Virgil.
"Not very good, Virgil. Now if you guys land, I want you to get the Mole and firefly out."
"FAB, Scott." Virgil said, "Landing now."
When Thunderbird 2 was landed, the Tracy boys looked outside.
"Man…This doesn't look good." Said Alan while looking around out of the window.
"This doesn't look good at all." Said Gordon.
"Then we better get going then." Said Virgil and he and his brothers moved to the pod. When the pod door was fully open, Scott jumped in the pod and walked to his brothers.
"Okay guys, there are people buried under the mud and we must get them out. Medics can't get here because of it, so I want you, Gordon, to 'clean' the road for them," Scott said to the red-headed boy.
"Okay, Scott." Gordon said.
"Virg, I want you and Alan to get into the Mole, dig to the tower and get those people out of there!" said Scott, "I'll be at Mobile Control to check everything." Then he looked at his brothers. They all nodded and then ran to their greatest machines. Virgil had wanted to run to the Mole, but Scott had stopped him by laying his hand on Virgil's shoulder. Virgil looked in Scott's eyes. They where saying 'Please be careful and look after the younger siblings.' Virgil nodded and Scott took his hand off Virgil's shoulder. Virgil ran to the Mole and had got into it, when he saw Alan at the controls of it.
"Move, kiddo, before you crash it again." He said with a grin.
"Oh please Virgil, that was a month ago, I just couldn't break in time, that's all." Alan said.
"Oh really? Looked more like you enjoyed crashing it into the standard."
A month ago Alan was driving the Mole on his place when it was clean after a rescue. Gordon had challenged Alan to drive it on his fastest and drive it in place with a slip. Alan of course took the challenge and drove the Mole at his fastest speed. Alan had wanted to drive it in with a slip but, the Mole wasn't like a car and had needed more time to turn and it crashed into a standard. Everyone went into the hanger, when they heard the crash. Boy, where they in trouble. Their father had yelled at them through the whole house, when they where sitting in the study. He kept yelling that they needed to grow up and that the Mole wasn't a car. They were band to come into the hanger and they could only come in it when they had to fix the Mole with Virgil.
Alan sighed and stood up. Virgil grinned when at his youngster when he stood up. "Hold on, now." He said and he drove the mole out of her pod.
They drive to a place where not much junk was laying, closely at the tower. Then they started to dig to the basement parking where all the trapped people were.
"Nearly there." Said Virgil to Alan.
"Yeah, but will we be just in time to get them all out before the building falls down?" asked Alan. When the mudslide had come down, it had crashed everything that was standing in his way. The building was damaged by it and couldn't hold anymore of the building.
"We've got to, Alan." Said Virgil. "We're there!"
"Okay. " said Alan and he jumped out of the mole.
"Don't worry, I'm from IR, we've come to help you." Said Alan when he saw scared looking people looking at him.
------
Meanwhile Gordon was 'cleaning' the road for paramedics to come at the danger zone. "Firefly to Mobile Control." Said Gordon. "I've cleaned the road for the paramedics, returning to Thunderbird 2 now."
"FAB, Gordon." Said Scott. "Virgil and Alan are bringing the trapped people up now. You maybe can help them with taking care of the wounded."
"FAB, Scott. Firefly out." said Gordon and he drive back to Thunderbird 2's pod.
At the surface the Mole had just arrived and was now letting the last people out of it.
"These were the last ones, Alan." Said Virgil to his brother.
"Finally ! I thought we had never got them out !" said Alan with a sigh of relief .
"You can say that again." Said Gordon, who had joined his brothers to take care of the wounded.
"Well, I'm going to, report to Scott and then set the Mole in the pod again." Said Virgil.
"Okay, Virg." Said the youngest brothers at the same time.
Virgil smiled and went to sit back in the Mole. "Mole to Mobile Control," said Virgil.
"Mobile Control here, what is it Virg ?" asked Scott.
"I've gotten all people out of the building, going now to set the Mole back in the pod." Said Virgil, while starting the motors again from the Mole.
"FAB, Virgil." Said Scott and then he closed the link.
Virgil drive the Mole back to her pod and then walked back to his younger brothers.
"Hey how is it going here ?" he asked to Alan, when soon a woman's voice cried. They looked at each other and then ran to the voice that yelled. When they arrived, they saw a woman with a child hanging over the edge of the bridge's beam.
"Hold on ! We're coming !" yelled Virgil and ran to the bridge with Alan. Virgil climbed on to the beam where they where hanging. Virgil got to the girl first and then the woman. Then the woman hugged her child and then thanked Virgil.
"Okay, go to that blond haired person first. He'll help you with getting on it." Said Virgil and pointed at Alan. The women nodded and went crawling to him.
Scott, who heard everything over the comm. Of his brothers looked worried with a binoculars to the bridge. Suddenly a noise came from the Mobile Control. Scott looked at it and saw that there was another Mudslide coming down !
"Virgil ! Alan !" he yelled through the comm. "Get away from the bridge ! Now ! There another mudslide coming your way !"
Virgil looked up to the mountain and saw that a large mudslide was coming down fast! Virgil grabbed the little girl and wanted to run to Alan when the mudslide slammed him off the bridge and took him with it.
"Nooo !" yelled Alan hard when he saw his older brother getting slammed off the beam and taken with the mudslide.
Scott looked terrified when he saw it too. He immediately contacted his youngest brother. "Alan ! Go after Virgil ! You too Gordon !" yelled Scott through his comm.
Alan had already run after Virgil when he was in the mudslide, soon he was joined by Gordon.
"I can't see him Scott !" yelled Alan through his comm.
--------
Virgil held the little girl tightly close to him when they went down with the wild mudslide, being thrown in all directions. Then they came to another bridge. "This is my chance !" thought Virgil and tried to get himself against one of the bridge standards.
Virgil had the little girl in he's arms when the mud slammed them in to the standard that was holding the bridge.
Virgil was trying to push the little girl on the beam, when he and the girl had climbed higher to be away from the mud. The little girl finely sat on the beam when suddenly a wave of mud came running off the mountain. The little girl saw it and screamed. Virgil looked over his shoulder and saw it too. "Hold on !" yelled Virgil to the little girl, while trying to get on the beam himself. Virgil was almost on the beam, but it was too late, the mud came. Virgil had lost his grip when the mud had bumped to him.
"Noooo, Virgil !" yelled Alan and Gordon at the same time. They had followed Virgil and the little girl, when the mudslide had took them.
"Scott ! Virgil had been taken by the mudslide ! I can't see him, Scott ! What should we do?" Yelled Alan in panic, through his comme, when Gordon was getting the little girl, that was still sitting on the beam.
"Alan, calm down, get the girl, come back here, get in Thunderbird 2 and follow the mudslide. If you are on the end of the mudslide, search for him ! I'll contact base and go immediately to you guys." Said Scott to his little brother. He could hear the panic in Alan's voice. He also cursed the mudslide for taking Virgil with it.
"F.A.B." said Alan and when with Gordon back to Thunderbird 2. When they arrived, they had set the girl off at the hospital base and went to Thunderbird 2.
Mean while, Scott was in contact with base. "Okay, son. Go and find him ! Let's hope he's at the end of the mudslide." Said Jeff to his eldest.
"F.A.B, father. I'll contact you, if we find him." Said Scott and closed the link with his father. Jeff stared in front of him, while Tin-tin and Grandma came back from shopping on main land in the lounge. "What is wrong, dear ?" ask Grandma when she had seen her son's face.
"There's a rescue…in San Bernardino ….A mudslide came off the mountains and…" said Jeff while trying to fight his tears back. "It took Virgil with it." Grandma and Tin-tin were shocked when they heard that. Grandma walked to Jeff and hugged him. Tin-tin was silently crying and holding her hand in front of her mouth.
Mean while, in San Bernardino Thunderbird 2 was in the air and Gordon and Alan were flying to the end of the mudslide. They had found a place where they could land Thunderbird 2 and were now, looking for their missing brother.
"Virgil !" yelled Gordon worried through the speakers. "Virgil where are you?"
"Let me go over the ground." Said Alan to Gordon, who nodded and landed Thunderbird 2. Alan jumped on one of the hover bikes and followed the mudslide that had taken their brother.
At the end of the mudslide, there wasn't anything, but mud and trees. Alan sighed when they didn't have found Virgil. 'Where can he be ?' thought Alan and sighed again. 'Please be alive, Virgil…Please…'
