Chapter 2- A Deadly Rescue

They were confused as to who Scott was talking to and why she would need somewhere safe to stay. "Right Boys this has something to do with his love life. John where does Scott go on shore leave?"

"Dad, Scott goes to Australia."

"Leave this to me to deal with and don't say a word to your brother."

"FAB" The boys went back to do what they were doing. Jeff left his office to go and find his eldest son to ask what is going on.

Jeff headed to the beach where Scott normally hangs out when he needs time to himself but as he got there Scott wasn't there, so he headed to the Clearing where Scott still goes to 'speak' to Lucille as Jeff got closer to he could hear someone talking.

'Mum I don't know what to do, I love Emily but I can't tell dad or the others about her and now they probably know. Emily has been kicked out of her home and she is currently living at Penthouse in Sydney. I need to be with her and I need to support her as well."

"Then go and be with her" Scott turned around to see Jeff stood at gate watching his son as he was in pieces and in love.

"Dad what are you doing?"

"What am I doing? Scott your brothers are worried about you and the way you were behaving Scott. Come on son lets go"

Jeff and Scott made a slow walk back down to the house and by the time they got there Jeff's office was turned into command and control and Brains was sat at the desk speaking to the others who were in the danger zone. "Brains what is going on?"

"Oh hello Mr Tracy they have gone to deal with a fire in London it is like London Burning all over again."

"Thank you Brains." Brains left the room as he believed that there was something going on and he didn't want to be rude and listen in on the conversation. "Scott why don't you go to the mainland whilst your brothers are not around to question you."

"Dad I don't think that is a good idea, as I might be needed for work and as field commander I am not dropping my responsibility."

"Scott I am not asking you to drop your responsibility but go and make sure that your girlfriend is alright. Virgil was really worried about you we listen to phone conversation to try and understand what is going on."

"Dad. Why?"

"You know what when your mother and me were dating she would call me every night and every morning also if she was having a bad day she would call or text me. Scott I know what you are going through. Now go and be with your girlfriend for a couple days and I will just tell your brothers you have gone to the office for me."

"Base from Thunderbird 1 come in"

"Base here Alan what's wrong?"

"We are unsure what to do with this fire as everything we have tried isn't working."

"Alan. My fire suit is in my 'Bird put that on and there is also some water sprinklers they should help."

"Field Commander are you sure?"

"Yes Alan they are going to work as they are the ones Virgil used on the tower the other year."

"FAB field commander." They cut off. "Alright Guys, we have a new plan after speaking to base and field commander. How many of those water sprinklers do we have on 2?"

"That is the plan those sprinklers from the other year?"

"Yes that is what field commander suggested and I am the one to go in."

"ALAN YOU ARE NOT GOING IN!" They all shouted down the mic knowing full well that Alan wanted to impress his brothers.

Before they knew it Alan had ran into the burning building with the water sprinklers in his hands. "Gordon report to base I am going after Alan." Virgil told Gordon as he ran after Alan in his fire suit.

"Base come in"

"Fish Face what's wrong?"

"Alan has ran into the burning building."

"Gordy calm yourself down. It was my idea Alan was just following my orders, so please don't have a go at him."

"FAB Scott" Scott pulled his phone out of his pocket to text Emily 'Hey Em. Dad is giving me sometime off he knows about us. Scottxx' Scott knew he would have to get packed and in the air before his brothers got back to murder him for allowing Alan to run into that burning building.

Scott's phone went off and it was Emily responding to his text message 'That is great Scotty. I can't wait to see u. Emxx' Scott had finished packing his stuff looking forward to see his girlfriend who he hasn't seen for 2 months because of work. He was walking back to the office where he saw Jeff sat at his desk. "Dad. Alan was putting the new idea to the guys and let's say it didn't go down well. Alan suited up and ran into the building to put the fire out."

"Scott."

"Just don't yell at Alan if this works."

Scott took off and headed to Australia to meet Emily whilst his brother were still dealing with the fire. Virgil ran into the building after his youngest brother who had gone into the building to place the water sprinklers. "Alan where are you?"

"Virgil I am heading out. I don't have anymore water sprinklers."

"Well Alan it is a good thing I have so that you can complete this mission that our field commander set you."

"Thank you." The two brother set the last of the water sprinklers and then ran from the building to set the water sprinklers off and it was working they were doing their jobs and the emergency services were happy to allow International Rescue to pack up and head back to base after a long 5 hours trying to sort out away to get rid of the fire.

"Base from Thunderbird 1 come in"

"Base here Thunderbird 1."

"We are leaving the scene the water sprinklers worked and the emergency services are happy to let us go."

"FAB Thunderbird 1 see you when you return to base. I need to speak to all of you when you return. Base out"

"Thunderbird 1 out" Alan was hoping it was something good instead of something bad but he would have to wait until returned to base.

A/N The TAG episode in which I am referring to is Inferno where Virgil helps the fire fighters put out the fires. They had used Water ball sprinklers. If you have seen the episode you will know what I am talking about.
