Chapter 2- A Physic Lesson
Violet and Lucy went to their physic lesson as normal with classmates talking International Rescue and their rescue yesterday at that point John walked passed and looked at the girls as if he will speak to you later look.
"Right class. We do have a guest speaker this is…."
"Mr J. Tracy. Who's book we are studying from." Lucy said before the teacher had a chance.
"Correct Lucy."
"As Lucy said I am John Tracy writer and ex- astronaut with NASA. Today we are going to be looking at stars and galaxies. Does anyone know how a star is formed?"
No one was answering the question so the teacher pick on a student and with Violet still in a state from last night she was daydreaming again. John sent her a quick message and she came back it did have the answer in the message.
"Stars are formed by massive clouds of dust and gas which is found in space Sir."
"Correct"
"Right I would like you to research and write an essay on how stars are formed in more detail and the different stars and galaxies. This is due in for two weeks for when I visit again."
It was the end of the lesson and the class got dismissed the physics teacher picked up there was something wrong with Violet but didn't want to tell John there was something wrong. After John left he headed towards the dorms where he thought the twins would be to only find Lucy doing he essay for John. "You know you don't have to do it."
"I know Uncle. If you looking for Violet she is in the secret garden she goes there when she needs space."
"I have often dreamed of a far-off place
Where a hero's welcome would be waiting for me
Where the crowds would cheer, when they see my face
And a voice keeps saying this is where I'm meant to be
I'll be there someday, I can go the distance
I will find my way if I can be strong
I know every mile would be worth my while
When I go the distance, I'll be right where I belong
Down an unknown road to embrace my fate
Though that road may wander, it will lead me to you
And a thousand years would be worth the wait
It might take a lifetime but somehow, I'll see it through
And I won't look back, I can go the distance
And I'll stay on track, no I won't accept defeat
It's an uphill slope
But I won't loose hope, 'till I go the distance
And my journey is complete, oh yeah
But to look beyond the glory is the hardest part
For a hero's strength is measured by his heart, oh
Like a shooting star, I will go the distance
I will search the world, I will face its harms
I don't care how far, I can go the distance
'Till I find my hero's welcome waiting in your arms
I will search the world, I will face its harms
'Till I find my hero's welcome waiting in your arms"
"Lucy, did you know that your sister sings. It sounds just like my mum's singing. Scott must hear this it is showing her feelings and how much she wants to be at home with her family."
"John I know she sings every now and then."
"Violet"
"Uncle John."
"Come here. I am going to speak to Emily and see if she can get you to come home. What Scott said is not right and I did shout at him for you."
"Can I come and stay with you at your lab?"
"You know you can and I know my brother didn't mean what he said. I am going to head home remember the pair of you can call me anytime of the day. The only time I may not answer is if I am busy."
"Thank you." Both Lucy and Violet said together.
Once John was in the air he called home, but didn't want anyone to answer he was in pieces just like the twins "John what's wrong." Abby asked she had got use to manning desk.
"Can I speak to Emily please." John whispered and was practically crying.
"John what's wrong."
"I don't know what you know so I am going to start from the beginning Lucy called me to try and find Violet because she was missing and had not gone to her normal hiding place. When I got there the school wouldn't let me see Lucy it wasn't until she came down to reception her face was bloodstained with tears I took her back up to their dorm and then spoke to Alan to ask where Violet was she was at the swimming pool asleep. I didn't have the heart to wake her so I carried her back to their dorm and soon after I fell asleep in the chair. Before I left Violet wanted to come up to Thunderbird 5 with me away from Scott."
"What did Scott do?"
"Well, Violet was caught daydreaming again as a punishment she has to write a 5,000-word essay about Of Mice and Men Scott found out and called Violet useless."
"HE CALLED VIOLET WHAT!"
"useless" John whispered
"Thank you, John I will call by the school and pick Violet up and if it is not a problem with you yes she can go to Thunderbird 5."
"It is not a problem with me at all, just let me know."
"I will John." John came into land but didn't get out of Tracy 1 so Jeff told the boys to go back upstairs and Jeff entered Tracy 1 to find John with bloodstained tears down his face and asleep.
"Oh, John what has happened."
"Virgil can you bring a stretcher to take your brother up to his room and someone has some explaining to do."
"FAB dad I am on my way. What is wrong with John?"
"I don't know but I have a feeling at least one person on this island does."
