Chapter 4- Thunderbirds are on TV

Once Violet and Lucy got out of the class Violet wanted to ask Lucy about that plane or jet "Did you hear that jet or something it sound like dad." Of course, Violet was still having second thoughts of going home or starting a life of her own.

"Yes, it did sound like dad." Next thing they know is a younger student is running down the corridor shouting about the Thunderbirds are on TV. "Want to watch"

"Stupid question sis."

"The Thunderbirds have been called to a wild fire in Utah. There is word that three children are trapped in the wild fire. The Thunderbirds are the only ones with the equipment to save these children. Here they are." Lucy and Violet's year group cheered when the Thunderbirds turned up. With Firefly coming out of the pod of two along with other firefighting equipment as well they knew it was going to be a big one. Although Violet was still not on best terms with their dad they did feel worried about him quite possibly their mum as well. As the rescued progressed they received buzz which tells them that they have had a message come through on their watches and ran out the room.

Lottie who was meant the be the twins friend saw Lucy and Violet run out of the room and decided to follow as she knew the sisters were hiding something and Lottie was out to find out what they were hiding. "Lucy, it says that Uncle Gordon is injured and Granddad said someone will be here to take us home or to him. With his back why does he still do it."

"Because Vi that is what they do for a job and they would not have it any other way. Do you remember what mum said about dad and John? Mum shouted at the nurse to tell her where dad was when he got injured in a wild fire as well." Lottie was listening to the conversation but was not making sense in it.

Both the Lucy and Violet headed back to their class room after the Thunderbirds. A student came to the door and both Lucy and Violet looked at each other knowing that was going to be for them. "Lucy and Violet please can you go to the head's office." The twins made their way to the head's office to see their parents stood in the office and when both are being here it only meant one thing that work is offline. Violet had gone all shy around Scott after their argument but for family's sake they acted civil towards each other but it was going to be a long road to recovery for their relationship. "Mum Dad" They knew that Gordon's condition was critical and just broke down crying in that time the head left his office to sort out stuff.

Both Lucy and Violet looked at each other. Then I asked as we knew Lottie was up to something. "Mum I know I shouldn't but one of our classmates Lottie is sneaking around following us. Can you or dad say something to her please."

At that last comment, Emily and Scott knew that their new classmate couldn't find out what their biggest secret is and she would probably tell the rest of the year. As we made our way to the school gate to go and see Gordon and the rest of the family.

"We heard you fly over. We also saw part of the rescue on the TV but as soon as our watches went off we ran out of the room. What really happen out their dad?"

"It was meant to be a routine wild fire rescue. Gordon was sent to find the reported three children that were missing in the middle of the wild fire. Whilst the rest of us tried to put the fire out. Your Mum and Tin-Tin were dealing with the injured as people were getting caught out in the blaze. Gordon had located the three missing children in a cabin in the middle of the fire. He went into the cabin and brought two of the three children out he then went back in to get the last one out and a wooden beam fell on his back. We had cleared the fires to the cabin to find Gordon lying on his front with the wooden beam across his back he was out cold." Scott recounted the events that had just happened.

Lucy and Violet both had fallen asleep in the car as they heading to the hospital to see the rest of the family and an injured Gordon. "Emily what are we going to do?"

"The girls are going get home schooled and they are going to start their training as well. I am going to teach them before you ask." Emily said to Scott but they didn't know the girls could hear them talking about them both Lucy and Violet just had a smile on their faces.

They arrived at the hotel that they were staying in. "Emily, I think we may need to carry the girls they are both still asleep."

"I think you might be right." Scott carried Lucy and Emily carried Violet as Emily knew it was sensitive between Violet and Scott. The only problem was Scott couldn't get to his key card.

"Um… John could you let us in please"

"Just use your key card."

"I can't I am carrying Lucy and Emily can't because she is carrying Violet they both fell asleep in the car. When we told the girls the broke down crying in the heads office they made it back to the car and they asked what really happen by the time that I had finished explaining they were both fast asleep. Please can you let us in."

"Sure, thing Scott."

Once Scott and Emily got the girls into bed everyone fell asleep themselves even if they didn't get much of it.
