Disclaimer: I don't own the Thunderbirds so don't think I do because I don't.
The sun was shining the day of the tragedy. Alan, Virgil and Scott were sun bathing, Gordon was wrestling with Tin-Tin in the pool and was losing miserably only because he didn't want to hurt her. John was also on earth as Brains needed to do some repairs to Thunderbird 5 and needed him out of the way.
The intercom beeped which caught Jeff attention so he walked into the house, a few moments later he called all his sons into the living room
"Right this is a big one. A mine has collapsed in Australia and I need all of you to go on this one. Scott you go first take Alan with you to scope the area for a safe place to land. Virgil you go with John and Gordon, Scott will inform you what to do". All of them nodded and went to the launch pads.
After they left Tin-Tin noticed that Jeff had a worried look. "Are you ok Mr Tracy"? Tin-Tin asked
Jeff sighed "Can I tell you a secret"? he asked
"Sure, what's on your mind"? Replied Tin-Tin.
"Well from time to time I get worried that something goes wrong and they don't return, it's like when Gordon had that hydrofoil accident I was terrified that he was going to die. And Alan is so young. I sometimes wonder if I made the right choice to launch international rescue. but if we don't do it who will"
"I'm sure you're sons know what they are doing" Tin-Tin smiled and Jeff smiled back.
Brains then called in. "What is it Brains"? Jeff asked
"I have finished the repairs now so Alan or John can pick me up any time they are ready" He explained
"Well nether of them are here but..."Jeff paused "you know what I will pick you up so I can look at the job you did, see you later Tin-Tin" Waved Jeff as he walked the sofa.
"And you Mr Tracy" Replied Tin-Tin
Moments later Tin-Tin saw Thunderbird 3 flying off.
That's it for now hope you enjoy this story and give it you appreciation until then farewell.
