Disclaimer: Working on it, but I still don't own them.

Authors Note: Jezz, I'm turning myself into a hypocrite, in getting these chapters out! But oh well the reviews are motivating me. Plus the fact I finished my homework earlier then I thought I would. That said here it is, chapter 4, at least a week earlier then I thought it would be posted.

'Thunderbird Two to Mobile Control.'

'Go ahead, Dad.'

'We're coming in for a landing. Can you see anywhere big enough?'

'For that ugly green bug? Yup, there's a place about ½ mile from the creek.'

'F.A.B, Scotty.'

'Ugly green bug?!'

'Virgil!'

'Sorry, Dad. I'll kill Scott later.'

'F.A.B Virg.' Said Scott, chucking to himself.

'Now, to see if Alan has this rope around the kids.' He muttered to himself.

'And she's down.'

'Thank you Gordon, for stating the obvious!'

'No problem, Virgil.'

'Boys!' said Jeff, getting up from his seat and heading for the exit. 'Wait till Alan's out of the water before you relax.'

Outside they were greeted by Scott who was slightly worried.

'Alan's not answering his communicator. I've got John trying to get him now.'

'Why don't you try his comlink?'

''Cause it's in his helmet.'

'And?'

'His helmet is in Thunderbird One.' Said Scott. 'He took it off so it wouldn't weigh him down.'

'Scott…'

'Thunderbird Five to Mobile Control.'

'Go ahead, John.'

'Two things. One know that 40 minutes till the dam water floods the area estimate.'

'Yeah...We only have 25 minutes of that time left'

'15. You only have 15 minutes till the area floods. That local was off.'

'Oh, Crap.' Gordon said. 'That's not long at all.'

'And two, Johnny?'

'And two, Dad is I got Alan's communicator working…'

'And?'

'Dad, I can't make anything out. Also his GPS indicates he's moving downstream.'

'Thanks John. Mobile Control out.'

'F.A.B.'

'That's it. Boys pull that rope in. Get Alan ashore.'

'F.A.B. Dad.'

Kate was scared.

No scratch that, she was petrified. She was wet, cold and alone. Her brother and the man called Alan, who was rescuing her, had been slept away. And now the rope around her waist was dragging her upstream. Hang on. Upstream! What was going on? Currents drag you downstream, not up. Oh, please let this be good, God. Please let this be something good.

'Alan!'

Who was Alan? Oh right the International Rescue dude. Why were they calling for him?

'Alan!'

Suddenly the shore was right in front of her and she was being pulled ashore.

'What's your name, sweetie?'

'K-kate.' She said, stuttering from the cold.

'Hello Kate, my name is Scott. Now I need to ask you, where is the man who came to rescue you?'

'H-henry got s-slept away.'

'Okay, Kate. We'll do everything we can for Henry. But what happened to Alan?'

'H-he went after H-henry. H-he untied the r-rope and went after h-him.'

'Thanks, Kate.'

'H-he went after H-henry. H-he untied the r-rope and went after h-him.'

'Thanks, Kate.' Scott said handing her over to Virgil for medical treatment.

He did WHAT! Thought Scott. When I get my hands on him… oh shit. We need to get Alan out of there. But how do we do it without a rope?'

'Scott! What did she say? Where's Alan?' Virgil demanded, Gordon nodding his head beside him.

'Alan…Alan…got slept away.'

'WHAT!' two angry voices yelled.

'Come on! We need to let Dad know. Maybe John can track him and we can pick him up from the rescue platform.'

Scott then turned his back on his brothers and headed over to Mobile Control.

Virgil and Gordon watched his retreating back for a moment, looked at each other then followed Scott to Mobile Control.

Air, I need air thought Alan as he was pulled along by the current. Finally his head managed to break the surface and he took in a lung full of air. Then he was dragged back under.

Alan struggled to get back up to the surface. Finally, he once again broke the surface but this time, he was able to grab a partly submerged rock. He looked around for Henry, the reason he untied his rope.

'Henry! Can you hear me?' Alan called out. After doing this for what seemed like an hour he heard a voice cry out.

'Yes. I can hear you!'

'Alan looked around and saw Henry holding on to another branch about 8 yards in front of him. Thinking about his next move, Alan remembered the watch on his wrist.

'Hold on, Henry. Stay where you are. I'm going to call for help.'

'From who? You're International Rescue!'

'Not all of it.' Alan lifted his watch to his face and….

T.B.C….

Author's Note: And I'm going to leave it there as a cliffy! I'm now very glad that most of you guys live in America and I'm here, down under. No one can track me down and kill me. Or force the next chapter out of me. Not that you'll have to resort to such methods to get it. Just review and I may have the next chapter up tomorrow (which is Monday for me, not sure about you Americans though!).

Okay thanks go to Iniysa, criminally charmed, JennMel and Meercat for reviewing! Keep reviewing, Please!
