Disclaimer: Do I own them? No I don't!

Author's Note: I was doing my homework when I realised I had a chance to type this and so I did. Here it is chapter 7.

Just so you know, it will only be Gordon's and Alan's P.O.V this chapter as the others have no power over how this rescue turns out.


Gordon's P.O.V

I hate waiting.

Always have, always will. And waiting for Virgil to get Thunderbird Two into position so I could lower the rescue platform so I could save my younger brother was the longest wait of my life. I checked my watch. 5 minutes. We have five minutes to do this rescue. Hurry up Virgil, I thought.

'I'm going as fast as I can Gordon so shut up!'

'Oh, did I say that out loud? Sorry.'

'She's in position. Lower away, Gordon.'

'F.A.B.'

I pushed the button that open the floor and lowered the platform. The platform then began to creep out.

'Come on! Hurry up!'

'You know they say talking to yourself is the first sign of madness.'

I jumped at the voice in my comlink. 'John? What are you doing?'

'Listening in on your conversions, but if I'm interrupting I'll shut up.'

'Putting you on a space station hasn't done much for your mental health, has it?'

'What do you mean?'

'I'll tell you later when Alan's there to back me up.'

'Well that's what I wanted to tell you. I managed to deicer some words out of his watch.'

'And?' I asked.

'And he and the kid are ok, but they think they have 15 minutes for you guys to get them out so I don't think they'll hurry.'

'Damn it.'

'Thunderbird Five out.'

'F.A.B.'


Alan's P.O.V

I looked up at the rescue platform which was dropping at a seriously fast pace.

'What's wrong?' the kid asked me, noticing the look on my face.

'Oh it's just they seem in an awful hurry to get us out.'

'And that's bad?'

'No, but it may mean they'll make mistakes…'

'Mistakes!'

'Calm down! We'll be fine!' I said putting a stop to the conversion. As I looked back up at the platform, I started to wonder who was on it. Virgil or Gordon, I summarized. Can't be Dad, Scott or John. The figure was too small.

Suddenly the platform stopped and the person on it fired the rescue lines. They missed me but got Henry. I gestured for them to lift him up first. After a few seconds of debating with Dad over the comlink Gordon, as I figured it was him on the platform, started to pull Henry in by hand.

I wondered why he had hesitated. I knew that he would fire another line once the kid was safe. I could wait my turn.


Gordon's P.O.V

As I pulled the kid onto the platform, I wondered if Alan knew how much trouble he was in.

I pulled the kid aboard the platform and asked him his name.

'Henry.' He asked.

'Now Henry, I need you to hold on to the platform really tight. Can you do that for me?'

I barely waited for his nod before I raced over to the controls and prepared to fire another line. As I hit the button, Dad's voice came over my comlink.

'Get out of there Gordon! We can see the overflowing water from the dam. It looks like a tidal wave.'

'Just need to get Alan aboard..' I double checked the line was attached and began to pull him up. Just then Henry screamed.

'TIDAL WAVE!'

I looked over my shoulder to see the overflowing dam's water. 'Damn it!' I said. Then, I yelled at both Alan and Henry. 'HOLD ON TIGHT!' I pushed to button to lift the platform back to Thunderbird Two. Then there was darkness as the water hit.

T.B.C…


Author's Note: And I'm going to leave it there. Now, not only is Alan in trouble but Gordon's been dragged in with him. As for whether they live or die, that is for the next chapter.
