Revenge is Sweet

Chapter Three – Annoying Jeff

Back on Tracy Island, Jeff was sat beside the pool, enjoying the quiet; Scott and Virgil were in the cinema watching the newest movie they'd bought which had arrived in the post that morning; Gordon was out scuba diving; John was in the space station; he hadn't minded extending his duty time by a couple of days as long as Alan repaid him at the end of his duty; Brains was in Thunderbird 2 hangar checking out the systems while they had some free time; Kyrano and Grandma were in the kitchen tidying up after the last meal and Alan and Tin-Tin were off-island.

He lay back on the hammock and shut his eyes. He got about ten minutes more peace when Virgil and Scott suddenly dove into the pool, soaking him.

"Boys, can't you warn me when you're gonna do that?" he said, sounding annoyed but secretly enjoying the sudden coolness on the hot day.

"But it's no fun then, and we can see you needed cooling down!" Virgil replied, then drew in a deep breath and submerged to make his hair completely wet.

"So, how was the movie?" Jeff asked.

"Boring. Sort of thing Alan'd like or maybe John. I dunno, but neither of 'em are here to ask," Scott said, swimming up and down the pool. Then Virgil joined him and they raced for a while.

Jeff shook his head and chuckled as he left to change out of his wet clothes.


In America, Alan and Tin-Tin had signed in. Tin-Tin was worried about Alan; he was trying his best to avoid that Holly woman and whenever he saw her, he pulled Tin-Tin close to him.

They had stopped to talk with a few of his friends and Tin-Tin began to feel less out of place when they welcomed her.
