**Thunderbirds: A Musical**
Chapter 1
As fast as a heart beat
Tin Tin stood in the sub way in Hong Kong. The Subway was always busy and noisy. A baby was crying behind her as she waited to get onto the train that was 5 minutes late now. She sighed patiently as her mind wondered to other places other then her surroundings. She pushed her black hair from her olive colored eyes, and looked forward as she finally heard the train arriving at its stop in front of them. A few people pushed forward, but she tried to stay in place with the people pushing against her back.
She looked forward as the woman with the baby moved in front of her. To Tin Tin the baby looked beautiful and all frankness she had a longing to hold her own baby in her arms. She sighed deeply and found that half the people in the station were piled into the cars of the subway train.
She stepped forward...to late she had someone on her. A cloth covering her mouth and nose. She coughed, fought, and screamed effortlessly. Her body soon sagged tell she was on her knees and the person in black picked her up and threw her over their shoulder. They walked out into the street. It was so busy that no one took a second look. They soon were in an black van and headed down the busy street and gone before anyone knew something was wrong.

" What do you mean Brains is being inspected...why do they need to inspect him?" Scott barked at his father who calmly explained to his eldest son.
"Its mandatory Scott. All my engineers who work for me have to have a yearly inspection. Brains has agreed to have five people come to inspect his work progress. He's going to show them Braman." Scott looked dumbfounded at his father. His mouth opened once or twice and finally Scott said it.
"You mean...all those inspectors are going to do is watch Braman play chess for the next two days?" Jeff bent his head back and laughed hard.
"There used to it son. Now go find Veda. She's near the pool. She's going to want to know that her work is going to be under inspection too." Scott sighed and nodded.
"Yes father." He turned toward the glass doors to the wrap around patio. He looked down at the well tanned, physically buff woman standing by the pool. Her hair color was unknown do to the fact that she wore a blue baseball cap all the time. Her eye color was soapbox blue. But when she spoke it was all polite and mostly about electronics. She was Brains mechanic. When something broke she fixed it...in 5 minutes or less...she was working on two new engines for the Fire Flash series for the Fire Flash two. Brains helped her every now and then, when he's not on his own with his own projects of endlessly tinkering with the Thunderbirds.
Veda looked up at me from the pool and took off her jacket.
"Is there a problem Tracy 1?" Tracy 1 was Scott since he was the eldest. Veda was trained to be polite, but grew up in the Bronx. She gave each of the Tracy's a number do to the order they were in age. Jeff was just Mr. Tracy however.
"Dad wanted me to tell you that you, and Brains are under inspection tomorrow." Veda groaned and stood up moving her hat better on her head to hide any thought of hair color. Scott wondered why she hid it. Was it that bad of a haircut or something? Scott blinked as Veda came closer to him and walked inside. She didn't even acknowledge Jeff; she just walked on toward her small room next to Brains. She walked into the lab and began to clean up, Brains walked in a few seconds later with sandwiches for them to share as they cleaned up there work shops.
"Uh---thought you -uh- might be hungry so I -uh- f-fixed us some -uh- sandwiches."
"Thank you." Was her mumbled answer as she opened a new trash back and began to throw away broken beakers and shards of glass from there experimenting for an new efficient fuel. Still with no success.
"Uh what are you uh going to show tonight?" Veda shrugged and didn't look at him. Brains sighed putting down his trash bag and looked Veda over.
"Are you alright?" His stutter gone. Veda shrugged again.
"Have you ever been inspected before?" This got an answer out of Veda.
"No." Brains smiled and put his hands on her shoulders and smiled.
"Then you've come to the right place...First...we must get you cleaned up. Your grease monkey suit i-isn't something an woman should wear." Veda looked down at her cloths and blushed deeply.
"I donno what to wear." Brains made a motion with his hand to take off her hat. Veda jumped back and held her hat down with one hand and put her other into her pocket.
"What's wrong Veda? Why do you hide yourself?" Brains asked worriedly.
"I could ask you the same thing." Veda walked passed Brains picked up a corner of her sandwich and walked out of the room leaving Brains to work on the lab alone.
"Darn." He began to pick up the remains of a granulated cylinder.

Tin Tin woke up a few hours later on a stone slab. She tried to sit up but found that her arms were shackled to the slab along with her feet. She looked around.
"Hello...can anyone hear me?" She struggled with the chains pulling as hard as she could tell she just lay there huffing and puffing from the effort. A shadow walked slowly into the light. The Hood smiled down at her.
"I-I know you...your the one that attacked us at Lake Anasta." The Hood smiled
"Yes my dear niece." Tin Tin struggled with her chains even more tell drops of blood flowed from her wrists and ankles.
"Let me go." She yelled allowed. The Hood grabbed her chin making her stop her actions.
"No ...I'm going to use you. You're going to help me put a spell on International Rescue, and anyone else around them." Tin Tin tried to struggle again but the Hood held her neck and she gagged.
"You will do as I say." His eyes began to glow and Tin Tins mouth fell open. A few tears escaped her eyes and she gasped. The Hood let her go and she didn't move from that spot, that position, and that expression. The Hood put his hands on her forehead and began to chant something under his breath using Tin Tins vast knowledge of where the Tracy's were. A few minutes later...the Hood let go and began to laugh leaving Tin Tin gasping for air from the effort not to give any info.
"They have a week to find you, or the spell is permanent. Forever in a life of song and dance." The Hood picked Tin Tin off the stone slab and began to dance with her limp form around the room and laughed.
