John was monitoring incoming calls, not that they got many anymore. About a month ago a new organization called the Weather Hawks began. Now it seemed that international rescue wasn't needed as much. Not to mention that Alan and Jeff had finally had their biggest blow up yet. It had been almost three months since they had heard from the sixteen year old. So now that they weren't called into the field anymore Jeff had ordered him to watch for any incoming calls to the Weather Hawk network. If and when he was able to get one he had his orders to track the line until he came up with a location of the new team.
There was a beeping and a flashing light on his panel and he lunged forward to connect to the link, sending it stream down to Tracy Island.
"Hawk eye whats the trouble?"
"I-I ca-can't find my wa-way back... An-and its getting co-cold fa-fast"
"Whats your location?"
"I-I do-don't know"
"Where were you headed to?"
"Pr-Prospect Creek"
"Got it. We're sending out a team now"
"Th-Thank you"
John spun around in his chair and pushed the klaxon and typed in coordinates. If they could get their before the so called Weather Hawks then the people would see the Thunderbird's were still needed.
"John coordinates looked in. ETA 15 minutes."
"F.A.B dad"
They were only just landing when they heard it. There was a loud screech and they ran out into the snow and coldness. They stopped dead in their tracks when a heavily dressed person helped the shivering woman onto a dog sled. Another one was wrapping her in some thermal blankets and strapping her in. The two coated figures nodded at each other and made to leave. The one with the women yelled 'Hike' and the team was off. The other grabbed a snowboard that was unseen leaning against one of the trees. They dropped it on the ground and saluted in the Tracy's direction.
Jeff nudged Scott and motioned for him to follow. Scott rolled his eyes and rushed forward. He latched onto the snowboarders arm, noting how small the arm was in his grip.
"Hey my jacket its.. Ripped right there.. See.. I don't know if I can make it back to camp.. Its on the other side of the peak"
The boarder nodded and picked up the board. Pushing something on top the board split down the middle. It turned into something that looked something similar to skis. They handed Scott one and threw theirs back on the ground. They attached their foot to the hook up front and leaned down to do the same to the other board.
"You can snowboard right?"
"Yah"
"Ok so this is like a board but smaller. Kind of like snowboarding and a scooter mixed together. You can come to HQ. We'll get ya a new coat there. But we have to move the temp decreases fast out here"
Scott nodded at the instructions but grabbed his guide once more.
"Hey whats your name"
"Call me Ice-Cap"
Before Scott could say anymore 'Ice-Cap' had straightened out and jumped down the hill. Scott looked back at the others and Jeff nodded. Scott shook his head but jumped after the boarder anyway. Really he didn't mind not being called on as many rescues. It started to give him the time to do things he was starting to miss doing. And he knew that the others felt the same. Heck Virgil was starting to talk about going back to school to become an actual doctor. I mean don't get him wrong they all loved International rescue and being a Thunderbird was awesome, but they wanted to have lives one day too. And if Alan, where ever the kid was, got married before him he was going to lose his mind.
Scott reached into his coat pocket and pushed the sewn in button. The tracker had been activated. John was tracking his every movement and relaying the info to dad. He looked up as the boarder he was following came to a stop and grabbed the arm of his coat. They pointed towards the mountain and walked up what looked like stone steps. He was amazed as the rock slid aside and a glowing passage way was revealed. The boarder turned around and motioned for him to hurry up. Jogging to keep up he ran in behind the boarder. They turned around and pushed a button, the rock sliding back into place the hiss of the air tight seal locking it.
He was led to another room with gear lining all up the wall. Dog harnesses, leashes, hats, gloves, coats, snowboards, skis, you name it it was there. The skinny board was ripped out of his hand and lent up against the wall. Ice-Cap pulled the hood of the jacket down and pulled the mask off. Revealing the face of a fifteen year old girl. She didn't say anything as she continued to pull her gear and coats off.
"You gonna stand there and stare or you gonna strip and follow?"
Scoot snapped to attention and nodded silently while pulling his coat and gear off. He noticed that the girl wasn't in front of him and he spun around to find her. He found her leaning against the doorway smirking in at him. She made a motion to finish and he complied.
"So is your real name Ice-Cap?"
"IS this your way of making conversation? No my names actually Azzy but all my friends call me Ice-Cap."
Scott nodded and walked towards the doorway. Azzy turned around and called over her shoulder.
"Come one I'll take you to the Eye. Sunshine will want to meet you"
Scott gave her a confused look but didn't say anything else. She lead him passed rooms. One of the doors was open and he saw a boy a little younger than Alan laying on a bed watching TV. Two huskies laying on top of him ten more laying around the room. Someone latched onto him and he stumbled on. Azzy led him into a room that opened up into a large dome. Many people were spread around the room. No scratch that many teens were spread around the room. There were a couple teens at computers and others laying around with more dogs.
"Welcome to the eye! Yo Drop-off is Sunny back yet"
Another teen, a boy this time spun around in a chair. A blue cast bumping against the side of the desk.
"Yep he should be here anytime. My pups alright? Anyone get caught?
"Their fine Drop-off"
Scott spun around at the familiar voice behind him.
"Hey Sun Shine! This is.. Whats your name again?"
'Sunshine' beat him to it.
"Scott?"
So what do you think! Should I continue? Who is 'Sun Shine'? What's the Weather Hawks? Reviews are appreciated!
