"What?"
Scott paused as he looked all over his controls. Making sure that it wasn't his fault he double checked everything. He looked over at the attitude controls, air intake controls, thruster controls, even at the time clock to make sure that was right. He thought to himself what happened?
"Dam It! What do you mean that I can't start her up and what's this about a radiation leak?"
"What I mean is, er don't move at all Scottt!"
"Well can I assist with the repairs?"
"I am not sure that would be a great idea Scott, ev- even thought I would ah, appreciate it. Uh, anything can set off a spark such as opening Thunder-bird 1's doors could, ah, set it off. We don't want to take a chance of, ummmm, blowing up the bay not to mention the whole entire Tracy I--sland.
Sitting behind his thick black marble desk now, Jeff heard about Thunderbird 1's situation and broke in to make a comment. "We don't want to take that risk. I am about to tell Virgil to stop with Thunderbird 2 to come into Thunderbird 1's bay and help out. Sooner we can get this done the sooner you can get to the scene, son. Just be careful while you're in there. We don't want to lose you while you're at home. Do you understand? "
Scott hearing the roar of his stomach as he knew he was stuck and dinner was on the table and yet being helpless he felt frustrated. But he let out a sigh and then reached over to the com link to open the channel once again. "Yes Father I do understand. But if you need anything inside her just let me know. F.A.B."
Jeff paused as he thought how Scott felt. He understood more than anyone, just as he did with is late wife Lucille. Not being able to help is the worst felling to have. He looks at Virgil picture wondering if he should help or go head to the scene.
"Base to Thunderbird 2."
"Base to Thunderbird 2"
Jeff sat behind his desk tapping his hand against the cold surface. Away felling helpless too along with his son but he knew he had to stop Virgil from getting way from the island to help.
"What's happened father?"
Problems Plague the Night
(Chapter 3)
A thick white cloud of despair had caved in. Everything was gone.....the life of luxury anyway possible, having vast amounts of money to spend at my fingertips, my home, my family, my friends, my life of research and discoveries was ALL gone. It feels like I am in a swirl of nothingness like falling down from heaven to hell in a timeless matter, as if this hell wasn't going to end. Everything was gone! An image had come, as if someone was creeping up from behind. I turn around to see someone there with a gun coming towards me. Trying to recognize the plain soulless face which was coming towards me, I couldn't recognize it. I asked "What I did to deserve this." Then Bang as the gun went off! I could only see the bullet in slow motion. As it got closer and closer to me it seemed to get smaller and smaller until partials were released surrounding me and then disappearing. I look up at the image in a questionable way trying to figure a reason for what just happened. But as sudden as image had appeared it quickly faded way. For second I thought I was shot! But then something happened to me. I felt nothing but contentment as I looked up in the big bold sky from where I came from. Then I felt a soft warm breeze against my check as my hair flickered in the direction of the breeze was heading, at the exact same time hearing the raffling of leaves on the palm trees behind me. While still looking at the big bold sky, the only thing I could do was waiting for the never ending sunset to go drift way. The sky was beautiful with rays of reds, yellows, oranges and which fades in with dark blue. As I stared up at the sky along with the radiant moon, all I could see was the most beautiful five stars I have even seen before. Then the darkness started to settle in. The sky turned to a deep blue then to black to where not even the brightest star in the sky glistened. Then I start to feel a cold damp mist all over my body creating this felling that I am floating. Then all of a sudden I am dropped and land on a soft surface with my eyes closed.
She opened her eyes wide open. She stared what was in front of her. She couldn't make heads or tails of what she was looking at. Then she thought to herself, who am I, where am I? She turned her head to the right realizing there was a clock and it was only 2:38 a.m. She turned her again to go back to staring at what she was staring before. Then fog started to lift away and then she realized that she was staring at her ceiling from her bed. She sat up in her bed from her repeating nightly dream which has been occurring since she can remember, covered with sweat all over her body. Realizing the mist from her dream was only from her sweat. Her clothes were drenched. She quickly fell back on her bed landing on her pillows. She knew who she was and where she was once the fuzz lifted. Then she let out a full body stretch in bed making her arms and feet pop. Then she pulled off her heavy comforter and she stood up. She slipped on her white slippers which matched her white tank top and her tight box cut underwear, she walked over to her double French doors. Her French doors where open with the mid night breeze coming in from the ocean along with the radiant glow from the moon. The glow of the moon made her thin white silk curtains, which where hanging in her doors, looked a light tint of blue. They were flapping in the doors along with the breeze. She leaned against the door fame and crossed her arms. She just stared out at the ocean. She loved the ocean.
Meanwhile sitting down at the porch and enjoying the nice warm breeze coming in, he poured himself a glass of scotch to relax before going to bed. He turned his head and noticing that his employer and dear friend was standing in her door way to her room. Thinking that he was going to need another drink, he poured another glass of scotch only this time with ice then he started to walk towards her from the porch. He looked at her and saw that she was concentrating hard.
He handed her the other glass of scotch with ice. "Here it looks like you need this." She unfolded her hand and accepted the offer and sipped it. She turned her head towards him and said "Thanks I need that." While giving a slight smile towards her assistant for the offer before she turned her head back towards the ocean to get back to her thoughts.
"It looks like you're in a pretty deep thought again. Same dream again eh?"
She just stared out to the ocean.
Sighing, "Yeap."
Things went quite again. She listened to the waves hit against the rocks down below. Hearing the clashing of waves could never get tiresome to her.
He leaned against the other side of the door fame facing her and then turned out to watch the glorious view of the ocean with the midnight glare against the rocks.
Taking a breath, "It's ironic that I've been having the same dream since I was little. I can't even remember how old I was. It's even funnier that I've seen the best psychologists in the world and yet all of them say that it will go way with time once I find what I need to find and let it go."
She paused letting out a sigh.
"I personally think that this has something more to do with than just a simple dream. The breeze against my check felt like a real hand I felt, it seemed so real even if I can ask millions of people to put their hand against my cheek and not yet have the same effect! And what is about those five stars in the sky that's so interesting?"
She looked at him with a puzzled look. Then she put back on her serious thinking face. She looked down at her glass of scotch. She turned her glass on its side, allowing the ice to fall against its side making a clink. She just stared at it. Then all at once she lifted her glass up and swallowed it all down, all that was remaining was the ice. She stopped leaning against the door. Then turning around, she put her glass down on the table next to her. She walked away from her room out to the porch. She put her two hands against the railing and leaned on it, which was for safety for no one to fall into the ocean.
Again staring out at the ocean with a serious thought which plagued deep with in her mind,
"Its funny you know."
She paused again, then gripping the railing until her knuckles where white.
"I am one of the world's greatest scientists who have vast amounts of money, several labs along with great assistants, a great house to live in, friends, a distant family who we barely like but yet there's something on my mind I can't even solve. Even I being a brainac can't even solve this! I feel an empty void in my life as if I am missing out on something or someone."
Her assistant walked up to her. He stood right next to her. He placed his hand on her shoulder giving the reinsurance which she needed. "Not all of us can even figure out some of the greatest mysteries of mankind. Maybe this might be one of those. Let time to allow its course thus light might appear at the end of the tunnel."
She turned to him and giving him a big smile for what he said. She found it comforting. "Thanks Chris! I need that."
While she spoke another one of other assistants walked up to her in a steady paste. Hearing the foot steps getting louder and louder, she turned her head from where she was and looked directly at him.
He just stopped a foot away from her in his long white laboratory coat. Without even excusing himself for the interruption he started. "You just got a call from the research station in New Mexico. There has been an explosion. At first they were able to contain the fire caused but the explosion but now it's getting out of control. International Rescue has been called in. The only problem is that you are one of the top scientist and you know that lay out of that more than anyone there could. They need you to arrive there A.S.A.P to help them out."
After hearing the report of the research station after, she pushed herself off the railing and quickly turned around and started to walk across the patio to the living room. She entered though the French doors into the living room area. She was followed by her two research assistants, as soon as she entered she started making a slap slap noise with her feet was they were on marble titles with her sleepers. Then her feet went quite as they reached the rug in middle of the floor. She walked though the living room and went down 5 steps leading into the kitchen. As she entered the kitchen she walked closer to a solid oak door; she opened it which was followed with another long series of stairs. Usually in a normal house plan this would be the entrance to the basement. But instead this was the entrance to her one of series of three labs. She walked down the stairs into lab number 1 which contained non toxic chemicals and experiments. She walked across the lab until she reached a set of stainless steel doors. "Ping" "Ping" as the evaluator doors open as soon as she was with in reach of them. Inside the evaluator it was all glass. She pushed number 3 making that she wished to go down to lab number 3.
Her research assistant, James, who told her about the incident put his hands inside is laboratory coat and spoke up. "I woke up Brian before I came to get you. He is waiting for you down in L3 (laboratory 3) with a change of clothes that you will need."
Since she has tons of experiments in her laboratories she wouldn't be able to handle of them by herself. She searched for the best assistants who would be able to help her. She didn't want the smartest since they would always hold some sort of hostility towards her. This way she could teach them to reach out beyond their limits. She looked for someone who wouldn't be attracted to her but to only concentrate on their work. Three years ago she only had to have one to help her out but now there are three who were willing to live with her and to assist whenever they were needed. They had no restrictions on when to work. Sometimes they worked until the first crack of light peeked thought the skyline. They became more to her than just assistants they have become more to her as well known friends.
She turned her head towards James her assistant and smiled a thanks.
"Don't mention it. It's just another part of my job."
As the elevator when down some more they came upon laboratory 2 which contain dangerous toxic chemicals and long term experiments. Laboratory 3 was one unique lab which most of her successful experiment has come from. Laboratory 3 was an underwater lab while on top contained metal meshing to where it was one of her hangars. There contained her submarine, helicopter, water jet skies, and her new proud experiment the PRMI2. Without her three assistants running these labs would be next to impossible to run.
She saw Brian letting out a tried some yawn as he stood standing right next to her the PRMI2 holding a black suite with black boots and of course who can forget the socks which were neatly folded. She walked over and nicely picked it up and all she need to was smile a thanks. She opened the control panel next the door. She punched in her security code for the door to open. She could hear the air jets release the hydro locks as the door opened. Then she went off into the PRMI2.
All of her assistants yelled out to her "Come back safe now."
"I will and I always do! Now don't stay up too late Chris and Brian. James before I forget anything happens in the lab while I am away let me know."
The door closed behind her as she was on her way up to the pilot seat.
Little to know this was going to be her last night of everything being normal, the last night of insanity. Her world is about to become upside down.
