Author's Notes: This chapter is from James Larry Morrow's point of view instead of Special Agent Crystal Jean "Cassie" Tracy's point of view mostly James with a little bit of Cassie. This chapter is only one day of the last week leading up to Spring Break which means the next couple of chapters are going to be action and dialog packed.
Day #6 of my special mission to protect the Sprout and Fermat from their bullies:
The next morning which just happened to be Monday, I, James Larry Morrow, realized that I order for me to keep my eyes on Cassie in the school day itself, she would have to go to class with me, Alan and Fermat which is easier said than done however we did not have any trouble until homeroom and 1st period when the teacher told us that Cassie was not allowed in the classroom and that was when the three of us said the following to her, "Last night, she almost was shot in the dorm room so that is out of the question and the headmaster and her dad already promised that she not have to back to Tracy Island as long as I kept my eyes on her at all times!" That was when she said in return with a look of shock on her face to the three of us, "I did not hear about this until now, so I will have to talk to the headmaster will quick about this." Five minutes later, the teacher had returned to the classroom and said to the three of us with understanding look on her face, "I am sorry about that. I was just notified about what happened last night, boys. You are correct about the agreement, by the way, so Cassie is allowed to be in the classroom with you boys at all times."
I, the Sprout, breathed a sigh of relief at that news and noticed that James was trying not to start crying in front of the class, so I said to the teacher with a slightly worried look on my face in my normal voice, "Madam, I think that James might need to go and talk to his dad and the headmaster. He looks like he about to start crying right now." She looked over at James and nodded in understanding and said to James with a sad look on her face, "Mr. Morrow, you might as well take Ms. Tracy with you, all right." I watched as James took my only sister with him as he left the classroom in tears and I knew that he was not going to be attending 1st period at this rate. The teacher and I shared a look and the teacher asked to the rest of the class, "Well, this homeroom started great did it, class?" To my surprise, the whole class along with me and Fermat answered with the same answer, "Not really, Madam." That also surprised the teacher who smiled at the sound of those words echoing in the classroom before the phone on her desk started to ring and she answered it immediately, "Hello, headmaster, sir. Yeah, Mr. Tracy pointed it out to me and I cannot blame him right now because you should have heard what the class all said after he left the classroom with Cassie. They all agreed about something for a change, sir. Yes, headmaster, sir. Mr. Tracy and Mr. Hackenbacker, you are wanted over at the headmaster's office right away."
Meanwhile on the headmaster's office of Wharton Academy, I, James Larry Morrow, was currently looking down at Cassie with a very slight smile on my face as my uncle finally got the teacher to let Alan and Fermat to leave the classroom and come over to the headmaster's office and I said in a whisper to Cassie in shock, "Beautiful, you heard that earlier, did you, Cassie? Your youngest brother, Fermat and myself telling the teacher what happened last night in my dorm room when she would not let you be in the classroom with us. I have a very funny feeling that you did hear us earlier." Just as I finished saying that was when the Sprout and Fermat came running into the room and saw that Cassie was out of shock and said together at the same time with a laugh, "Cassie! You are all right! We were so very worried about you after what happened to you last night when James here was not in his dorm room. Does the others know yet, James, by the way?" I nodded no and the Sprout video-called Star-Gazer who immediately answered with a shocked look on his face, "Alan? What is going at Wharton Academy now?"
I, the Sprout, looked at him with a huge smile on my face as I answered his question with by asking him a question, "Can you guess who is not in shock anymore, Star-Gazer?" That was what got Star-Gazer to break out into tears and answer, "Cassie! She is all right then. I thought that it was going to be bad news, Sprout. I want to see my twin sister, pretty please with sugar and chocolate on top, right now!" Cassie heard her twin brother said that and she with some help from both James and Fermat stood up next to the Sprout and said to Star-Gazer, "Good morning, loveable twin brother of mine." He just stared at me in shock until he heard an incoming transmission from Thunderbirds One and Two before he said to them, "Guys, something is up at Wharton Academy right now." Which got the four of us to laugh loudly enough for their dad and Muse to notice that Cassie was not in shock anymore and both of them asked together at the same time, "Did we just hear a very familiar laugh on the other line, Star-Gazer?" That got Cassie to smile her usual smile as Star-Gazer answered their question with a laugh of his own, "Yes, you two heard a very familiar laugh. You two should know who the laugh belongs to by now." Cassie finally decided to be nice and said with another laugh, "Hello, guys." As soon as she said those words, everyone said together at the same time, "Cassie, you are all right," which got her to roll her eyes once before saying with her usual smile on her face, "Dad, Muse, are you guys all right over there?"
Meanwhile inside of Thunderbird Two, both, I, Jeff Tracy, and Muse shared a look of happiness before answering her question with laughs of our own, "Yeah, we are all right, Cassie. We are just surprised that you are no longer in shock from what happened yesterday, buddy. How are you feeling right now, by the way?" They waited a couple of minutes before Cassie answered their question with the words that they did not want to hear from her in return, "I am scared right now, guys." Star-Gazer was the first person to say anything to her in his normal voice as he tried not to cry for his twin, "Cassie, everything is going to be all right, sister. Right, guys?" Five minutes later, Fly-Boy who was the only person inside of Thunderbird One said to his only sister in his shocked voice, "Star-Gazer is right, sis. Everything is going to be all right. We will never let anything happen to you again. Right, dad?" Six seconds later inside of Thunderbird Two, the others looked over at our dad who thought of what to say on this front and he opened his mouth and said in his commander voice to Alan, Fermat, James and Cassie, "We are on our way over to Wharton Academy right now, guys. I will have Lady P. and Parker pick up Tintin from Tracy Island so that she can help with keeping Cassie calmed down. See you kids soon and Cassie, sweetheart, stay near James and the other two until we get there for your protection." With that Star-Gazer ended the call with both Thunderbirds One and Two so that they could keep their focus on getting to Wharton Academy and looked his twin sister directly in the eyes before saying to her with a look of worry on his face, "Cassie, I really wish that I was there right now for you. I really do but I know that dad would like me to stay up here inside of Thunderbird Five. I love you so much. Alan, Fermat and James, please keep her safe for me until the others get there. Bye for now."
Fifteen minutes later outside of Wharton Academy, I, Cassie, was hugged by my oldest brother, Fly-Boy, almost immediately as he ran right at me with a look of happiness on his face before I said to him with a scared look on my face, "Hey, Fly-Boy. I am so happy to see you right now." He looked me directly in the eyes, saw that I was still very slightly scared at this very moment and said to me in his normal voice, "Hey there, Cassie. I am here to help protect you now. You can stop being scared now, sister." I nodded in understanding as I let him give me another hug just as the others showed up and our dad looked me directly into my light blue eyes and said in his commander voice, "Fly-Boy, can you get her inside of Thunderbird Two? James, would you please follow them? Muse, Joker-Fish, we will go and talk to all of their teachers with Alan and Fermat while Tintin, Lady P. and Parker help James and Fly-Boy out with keeping Cassie calmed down inside of Thunderbird Two. Cassie, I love you so much, sweetheart." Everyone nodded in understanding and Fly-Boy picked me up with both of his arms while James, Tintin, Lady P. and Parker followed them over to Thunderbird Two to help with keeping her calmed down just like Mr. Tracy wanted them to do. Once the five of us were inside of Thunderbird Two, James give me a hug while I looked at Fly-Boy who was worried about me as he waved over Tintin who immediately came over to me with a slightly sad look on her face as I turn my glaze over to her with tears in my eyes which immediately got her worried enough that both Lady P. and Parker walking over to Fly-Boy as he stood up to walk over to his only sister in order to give me another hug before he called Star-Gazer who immediately said with a worried look on his face to me, "Cassie, are you all right over there, sister? Fly-Boy, has she talked at all since you and the others got to Wharton Academy?" Fly-Boy looked at my twin brother and said with a very sad voice in return to him answering his question, "No, Star-Gazer, she has not said a single word at all since we got to Wharton Academy and it is making me super worried for her right now."
Three hours later inside of Wharton Academy in the headmaster's office, I, Jeff Tracy, along with the Sprout, Muse, Joker-Fish and Fermat were waiting for the free period to talk to all of Alan, Fermat, James and Cassie's teachers plus the headmaster about what was going to be going on for the rest of the week with the protection plan for the safety not only for Cassie but for all of the students of Wharton Academy. Five minutes later, one by one each of their teachers entered the headmaster's office for the meeting only to see that Alan and Fermat were not alone at this very moment and that Alan's dad and two of his older brothers were here. I looked at all of their teachers before opening my mouth to say something to start off this meeting, "Good morning, I am Jeff Tracy, the father of Alan and Cassie Tracy. I am here to tell you about what is going on for the rest of the week with the protection plan for the safety not only for Cassie but for all of the students of Wharton Academy. International Rescue/the Thunderbirds and NCIS will be teaming up for the rest of the week. Right now, you also see Alan and Fermat because James and Cassie are inside of Thunderbird Two with my oldest son, Scott, my friends, Lady P. and Parker and Cassie's best friend for life, Tintin for their own protection. The teams will be as follows: Team #1 will be made of me, Virgil, Scott, Director Tom Morrow and Special Agent Todd while team #2 will be made of Gordon, Special Agents McGee, Gibbs, Abby and Tintin, all right." One of the teachers looked right at me and asked with a shocked look on her face at the news, "What is going on with Cassie, Mr. Tracy?"
I, the Sprout, looked right at the teacher who asked the question with a shocked look on my face until I realized which teacher it was who asked the question and tapped dad on the shoulder and he also looked over at the teacher in question and answered her question as truthfully as possible at this very moment, "Cassie is currently scared after what happened to her yesterday when she was alone in James's dorm room while he was at football practice last night. James is with her because they are boyfriend and girlfriend. Both me and Director Tom Morrow have known for a while now before you ask about how we know about that." Another teacher looked over at us and asked with a slightly worried look on her face, "Does the NCIS team know about this yet?" Fermat was the one who looked at the teacher who asked this question and very slightly smiled at her as he tapped Mr. Tracy on the shoulder who also looked over at the teacher and said with a very slight smile on my face, "They are on their way here right now, Madam. Both Special Agent Gibbs and Abby will be here in five minutes hopefully. I am going to have Abby join the guys inside of Thunderbird One while Gibbs joins us in here for the rest of this meeting. When the rest of the NCIS team shows up whenever they can, we are going to end the meeting and start our rounds with Cassie and James hopefully coming inside of the building to join the Sprout and Fermat along with the rest of the students for their classes."
Five minutes later back inside of Thunderbird Two, I, James Larry Morrow, heard the sound of Abby's car pulling up outside of Wharton Academy and heard two people running up to the double doors to the school. They must be heading over to the headmaster's office for the meeting, thought I as I looked back over at my girlfriend, Cassie who had looked up at the sound of Abby's car pulling up outside of Wharton Academy and I said in a whisper so that only she could hear me speak with a very slight smile on my face to her as I give her another hug while looking her straight in the eyes, "Cassie, you do remember what I told you on Saturday? I told you that I always will protect you, I promise. I love you so much, Special Agent Crystal Jean "Cassie" Tracy and I always will love you, do you remember telling you that, Beautiful?" I watched as Cassie looked up at me and nodded her head which got both me and her oldest brother, Fly-Boy, to laugh and hug her while we said to her with huge smiles on our faces in happiness, "Hey there, Cassie. We are so glad that you are at the very least nodding in response to us now. You are safe, Cassie. We are sure that dad is going to have Abby come outside to join us inside of Thunderbird Two while Special Agent Gibbs stays with dad and the others for the meeting." Cassie moved closer to me which got me to smile my usual smile before I said in a whisper to her as she closed her light blue eyes to get some sleep just as Abby came running inside of Thunderbird Two only to see that Cassie was fast asleep, "That is right, Beautiful. You can sleep now that we are here to protect you, Cassie."
I, Abby, smiled a huge smile at the sight right in front of me as I watched James Larry Morrow whispered to Cassie who was currently fast asleep before I walked over to her oldest brother, Fly-Boy, who looked up at me and said with his usual smile on his face to me with a super quite laugh, "Hey there, Abby. I was wondering when dad was going to send you over here to join us inside of Thunderbird Two because Tintin, Lady P. and Parker are currently up on the bridge while me, James and Cassie are down here in the medical bay. Where are the others at right now, by the way?" I looked over at Cassie and James very quickly before I looked back over at him and answered his question in a whisper so that only he could hear me as I sat down next to him, "The others are on their way as we are speaking, and Director Tom Morrow is currently riding with Ducky, Special Agents McGee and Todd in his car. As soon as they arrive here at Wharton Academy, we are starting our rounds so we might as well get as much sleep as possible, all right." I watched as he nodded in agreement and together we looked over to see that James had fallen fast asleep with Cassie in his arms which got us to laugh a little bit. Fly-Boy pulled out his cellphone and took a picture of the two of them, sent it to Star-Gazer who immediately texted a picture of him smiling and laughing at the same time from seeing the picture which got me and Abby to smile our usual smiles before me and Fly-Boy decided to take a nap until the others get to the school.
Meanwhile inside Wharton Academy in the headmaster's office, I, Jeff Tracy, looked over at Special Agent Gibbs and said to him with a huge smile on my face, "Hello there, Gibbs. How is Tony behaving over at the hospital right now without being there to talk to him?" I watched as Gibbs laughed before smiling his usual smile at me and answered my crazy question as truthfully as he could at this very moment, "I am pretty much sure that Tony is still sleeping out his injures from Saturday night, Jeff. Now, what is the plans for the rest of the week for protecting all of the student including Alan, Fermat, Cassie and James?" As soon as he said, I looked over at the headmaster and the teachers and said in my commander voice, "The plan is a work in progress at this very moment, people. I need some ideas especially for the rest of today and tomorrow for the rotations of the teams. I am going to call Director Tom Morrow to see where he and the others are at right now. I will be right back as soon as I find out where the others are at this very moment." The headmaster, Special Agent Gibbs and the teachers plus the Sprout, Fermat, Muse and Joker-Fish nodded in understanding as I walked outside of the headmaster's office and closed the door, pulled out of my cellphone and dialed Director Tom Morrow's cellphone number; waited for him to answer. Five seconds later, I heard Tom said with a laugh, "Hello there, Jeff. I take it that you are calling me to find out were the rest of the NCIS team is at right now. We are twenty-five minutes away from Wharton Academy at the moment. I will have Ducky text you when we have arrived at the school, all right. How is Cassie and James behaving right now?" I smiled at the thought of his only daughter and James and said with a laugh, "I do know at this very moment how the lovebirds are behaving since they are inside of Thunderbird Two with Fly-Boy, Tintin, Abby, Lady P. and Parker. Definitely have Ducky text me when you guys arrive here at Wharton Academy so that I can get the guys out of the headmaster's office and Thunderbird Two, all right, Tom." I waited for Tom to say something which he did with his usual laugh, "I would not be surprised if the lovebirds are fast asleep inside Thunderbird Two at the very moment, Jeff. I will have Ducky text you when we have arrived at the school, Jeff. See you soon hopefully, Jeff. Bye for now." With that, Tom ended the phone call for me and I smiled at the thought of my only daughter and James possibly sleeping next to each other inside of Thunderbird Two as I turned around to reenter the headmaster's office to join the rest of the group for the arrival of the rest of the NCIS team.
Twenty-five minutes outside of Wharton Academy, I, James Larry Morrow, woke up to the sound of my dad's car pulling up in front of the school which made me smile a huge smile at the thought of my dad seeing me with Cassie who was still fast asleep in my arms so I shook her awake with a loud laugh and she opened her light blue eyes with her usual smile on her face as I looked into her eyes as I said to her in a whisper so that only she could hear me, "Hey there, sleepyhead. The rest of the NCIS team has just arrived which means we need to go to class now, Beautiful." I watched as she nodded in understanding as I helped her stand up and as she almost tripped I heard her said with a laugh, "Great, I am going to have a fun time running around now for the rest of the day. Oh, boy, I just talked, did I?" I moved over to her and said with a laugh to her, "Yes, you did just talk, Cassie. You are going to have to do that in front of the Sprout and Fermat for me, all right. They will never believe me when I tell them about this and you know that, Beautiful." Cassie looked up at me and said with her usual laugh in return to me in a whisper, "Yeah, I know that, Handsome. I was just shocked that I talked right then. I see that Abby is here and that she is sleeping right next to Fly-Boy. Let's wake them both up together." Together, both me and Cassie walked super quietly over to Abby and Fly-Boy and laughed to wake them both up which worked like a charm since Abby and Fly-Boy both opened their eyes to see that Cassie and I were both wide awake and said with huge smiles on their faces to us with their usual laughs, "Hey there, guys. I take it that the others have arrived here at Wharton Academy. If that is the case, then we better get moving and tell the others on the bridge so that we can meet up with the others." Both me and Cassie nodding in agreement to their words as the four of us headed up to the bridge of Thunderbird Two to get Tintin, Lady P. and Parker who immediately knew that it was time to get to work.
Five minutes later outside of both Wharton Academy and Thunderbird Two, I, James Larry Morrow, watched as his dad and the others came walking over to the group that had been inside of Thunderbird Two with a huge smile on my face and my dad looked right at me and said with a laugh, "Hello there, son. I can see that you had taken a nap while waiting for me to show up. It is time for you to go to class now, James. How is Cassie doing right now?" I laughed and said to my dad with my usual smile now on my face in return to my dad, "Hello there to you as well, dad. Yeah, I most definitely had taken a nap while I was waiting for you and the others to show up here at Wharton Academy. Why do you not ask her for yourself?" Cassie walked over to my dad with a slight smile on her face as he looked down at her before saying to her with his usual smile on his face, "Why, hello there, Special Agent Tracy. How are you doing right now, buddy?" Both me and my dad watched as I, Cassie, thought of what to say to Director Tom Morrow as I fixed my long platinum blond hair by putting it up in a braided ponytail before answering his question as truthfully as I could at this very moment, "I am still a little scared right now. What is my dad doing right now, Tom?" The three of us looked over at her dad with a look of shock before he looked over at his only daughter with a huge smile on his face with a loud laugh and he answered her question while Cassie's brothers, Fermat and Tintin join him with looking over at me, "I am figuring out the plan for the rest of today and all of tomorrow with your brothers' help with some help from both Fermat and Tintin, Cassie. Come over here, sweetheart. I know that you are scared right now." Cassie ran right over to her dad who give her a huge hug with most of her brothers and best friends while James and his dad watched alongside the rest of the NCIS team, Lady P. and Parker who all had super worried looks on their faces. Five seconds later, Cassie looked up at her dad who waved I, James Larry Morrow, over to them and he looked up at me and said in a whisper so that only I and Cassie could hear him, "James, I want you to protect Cassie here at all times. What is your next class for this period, by the way?" I though about that and realized that at was PE in the gym and answering his question with a very slight worried look on my face, "We have PE in the gym, Mr. Tracy. I am going to need Tintin's help for the locker room problem when it comes to getting dressed for class."
I, Jeff Tracy, rolled my eyes at the mention of PE being the next class and waved over Tintin who immediately came over to the three of us and said also in a whisper to Mr. Tracy, "What is it that you want to ask me to do, Mr. Tracy?" I looked over at her and answered her question with still in a whisper in return, "I need you to watch Cassie while she is getting dressed for PE in the locker room, Tintin." I watched as she nodded in understanding before looking at her best friend and whispering into her ear something that got Cassie to laugh a little bit and she then said to Mr. Tracy with her usual smile on her face, "I can help out there, Mr. Tracy. Come on, Cassie. Let us get going." Both I, Jeff Tracy, and James, watched as Tintin and Cassie headed over to the ladies' locker room so that Cassie could get dressed for PE and James turned to both Fermat and the Sprout and said with his usual smile on his face, "It is time for us to get going to the men's locker room, you two. It is time to get ready for PE." The three of us started walking over to the men's locker room when the bell ringed which had us running the rest of the way and we entered the men's locker room with huge smiles on their faces as one of the PE teachers smiled at the three of us and said with a laugh, "Where is Cassie at right now, boys? Is she in the ladies' locker room getting dressed for PE?" That was when I, James Larry Morrow, looked over at the PE teacher in question and answered his question with a shocked look on my face, "Yes, Cassie is in the ladies' locker room. Her dad has her best friend for life, Tintin, helping her by keeping an eye out for trouble while she is getting dressed for PE, by the way." The PE teacher in question nodded his head in understanding before saying with a loud laugh, "Mr. Tracy has always been a little bit overprotective of his family and friends which I do not blame him at all at this very moment. I did not know that he was Lady P. and Parker pick up Tintin from Tracy Island on their way to here."
Five minutes later, I, James Larry Morrow, walked into the gym, saw Cassie sitting in her usual spot and ran over to sit down right next to her in my usual spot and said in a whisper to her with a loud laugh as I messed up Cassie's long platinum blond hair to make her smile her usual smile at me, "Hey there, Beautiful. I am here now, and I will always be with you as much as possible, do you understand me? Where is Tintin at right now, Cassie?" I watched as Cassie looked up at me before answering my questions with her usual laugh in return to me, "I do that you will always be with me, Handsome and yes, I understand you completely. Tintin is just outside of the gym with Gordon, Special Agents McGee, Gibbs and Abby. My dad says that they are team number two, so they picked to shadow the four of us kids for the rest of today and all of tomorrow while team number one which is made up of my dad, Virgil, Scott, your dad and Special Agent Todd will be watching the security cameras from inside of the headmaster's office with the headmaster." Just as Cassie finished her last sentence, the PE teachers stood in front of the whole class and said together with huge smiles on their faces, "Good afternoon, class. Today is fun day which means do whatever you want to do." I looked over at Alan and said with a laugh, "Want to be some basketball, Sprout? Fermat can be the referee. Cassie, you can join us if you want to, all right." I watched as Alan and Cassie both jumped up at the idea of playing some basketball with James and Fermat just laughed and moved to the side so that he was safe from the basketball just in case. First up went Cassie who made it in the basket in one shot with a huge smile on her face which made me and Alan super happy at that very moment. Second up went I, James Larry Morrow, and I missed my first shot by an inch and a half however my second shot made it into the basket, so I just looked over at Cassie who moved closer to me and said in a whisper so that only I could hear her speak, "I know, Handsome. I saw that you missed your first shot." Third up went my youngest brother, the Sprout, who made it in the basket in one shot just like Cassie did with his usual smile on his face and we kept on playing until it was time to go back to our locker rooms to get dressed back into our school uniforms. Tintin was waiting outside of the ladies' locker room for Cassie when the four of us walked out of the gym so I had let Cassie walk over to the ladies' locker room and watched as both her and Tintin entered it so that Cassie could get dressed back in her school uniform so that we could go to our next class period.
Four hours later, I, James Larry Morrow, was walking with Cassie who was looking around like crazy which reminded me of why both International Rescue also known as the Thunderbirds and NCIS are teaming up to protect all of the students, teachers and the headmaster of Wharton Academy when the Sprout and Fermat came running over to the both of us and said with worried looks on their faces, "Director Tom Morrow wants us all inside the main building right now, guys. Cassie, your dad, Muse, Fly-Boy and Joker-Fish have been called out on an International Rescue mission by your loveable twin brother, Star-Gazer. He and Tintin will tell us all of the details once we are inside with him and the others." We shared a look of shock and followed them into the main building where Tom looked away from the TV screen that was currently on a news channel that was reporting on the rescue mission that the Thunderbirds are currently doing at this very moment and said to both me and James with a slightly worried look on his face, "As you two can currently see on the TV screen Jeff Tracy and three of five brothers are working currently on a rescue mission. I have Special Agent McGee and Abby are inside of the van helping your twin brother, Star-Gazer, with monitoring the rescue mission right now while the rest of the NCIS team are monitoring the video cameras around the whole school from the headmaster's office at this very moment. James, I want you and Cassie to join Special Agent McGee and Abby in the van with helping Star-Gazer monitoring the rescue mission right now while the Sprout and Fermat are going with me to join the rest of the NCIS team in the headmaster's office, all right?"
Outside of Wharton Academy in the van, I, Special Agent McGee, was working with Abby and one of my co-worker, Special Agent Crystal Jean "Cassie" Tracy's brothers, Star-Gazer, who is currently up inside of Thunderbird Five monitoring the rescue mission that the rest of Special Agent Tracy when the double doors leading into the van opened up to reveal both James and Cassie were here to help us monitor the rescue mission. I watched as Cassie sat down next to Abby while James continued to stand behind the three of us. Cassie looked straight ahead as she said into her headset to her twin brother, "Star-Gazer, give me an update, pretty please." Five minutes later, we all heard as Star-Gazer as he went silent and then he said with a loud laugh as we watched shake his head, "Why, hello there, Cassie. As I am pretty much sure that Tom has told both you and James, dad, Muse, Fly-Boy and Joker-Fish are currently preforming a rescue mission at this very moment and I realized that I needed some help with monitoring the mission, so I asked him for some help and Abby and McGee were the first ones to volunteer. I take that Tom sent you and James to help with monitoring the mission as well then. I am patching you though to dad inside Thunderbird Two." Five seconds later, the four of us heard my dad said with a laugh, "Hello, NCIS team. What is going on over there?" Abby and McGee shared a look as Cassie said with her usual laugh to her dad, "Hello, Thunderbird Two. This is Special Agent Tracy, what is your ETA, boys?" As soon as Cassie had finished her second sentence, they heard her dad take a very deep breath before he answered his only daughter's question with a laugh once again only this time he is using his commander laugh, "Oh, great, Tom sent you and James monitor us while we are performing this rescue mission, did he, Cassie? Oh, well, our ETA is twenty-seven minutes, Special Agent Tracy. Where is Abby and Special Agent McGee at right now?"
Meanwhile in the van, I, Cassie, looked over at McGee who immediately said with his voice, "Abby and myself are still here, Mr. Tracy. We were letting Cassie talk to you for a little bit since she is just like our boss at times like this." Five seconds later, my dad said with his normal voice along with a very slight laugh to Special Agent McGee, "Really, my only daughter cannot be like her oldest brother and her dad. She only gets mad if someone messes with her family, friends and herself. Or is there something that I currently do not know at this very moment, you four?" Both Abby and myself said together at the same time as Special Agent McGee with laughs of our own, "Very funny, Thunderbird Two! She is most definitely like our boss for a couple of very good reasons, one of which you already know about. What is Thunderbird One's ETA by the way?" Twelve seconds later, Cassie's dad said with a slight smile on his face to the four of us still with a laugh, "I am patching you guys though to Fly-Boy right now. Hey, Fly-Boy, the NCIS team wants to know your ETA, buddy." Five seconds later, the four of us heard Fly-Boy as he very slightly wined and said with a laugh to the four of us, "Abby, McGee, who has joined you guys in the van? Oh, hold on, let me guess. My only sister and James Morrow is in the van with you guys. Am I correct for a very nice change?" Abby and McGee just laughed as I, Cassie, said to my oldest brother answering his question with my usual laugh, "Hey there, Fly-Boy. Yes, you are correct for a very nice change. Now, what is your ETA, brother?"
Meanwhile over inside of Thunderbird One, I, Fly-Boy, was in shock for a couple of seconds before I finally answered my only sister's question with my usual laugh, "Oh, boy, calm down, Cassie. I am fifteen minutes away from the rescue mission site, all right. Wow, I just realized something about you, sister. You are definitely just like me and our dad now of days a lot more than usual. When did this start happening, Cassie?" I only had to wait up to five seconds for the answer to my question came out of my only sister's mouth who said in her angry voice as I continued, "Fly-Boy, I will personally tell you the story of why I am sounding a lot like you and our dad later after this rescue mission is complete, crazy older brother of mine! Do you understand me right now, Thunderbird One? Dad, Fly-Boy is being annoying once again to me!" Immediately our dad said to Fly-Boy for me in his commander voice with a loud laugh, "Thunderbird One, your only sister is correct on this front for once, buddy. Now, Cassie, I am a little bit shocked that you had to start an argument with your oldest brother over this and I also think that you are correct to tell him that the story about you pulling off one of our moments will have to wait until after this rescue mission is complete. Right, Joker-Fish and Muse? Oh, and Cassie, you can now talk a little bit, I am sure that Fly-Boy has ticked you off a lot more than I would have liked so try speaking to us three only, Abby and Special Agent McGee, James and Star-Gazer, all right, sweetheart?" Four minutes later, I, Jeff Tracy, heard my only daughter take a deep breath before saying to me, Muse and Joker-Fish who had patched in Star-Gazer who was also waiting for his twin sister to said something to them, "I sometimes think that Fly-Boy just likes driving me insane, guys, if you know what I mean right now." That got her other brothers to start talking to her one by one starting with Muse who turned the camera so that it was pointed at him only before he said to me with a slightly worried look on his face, "Cassie, you are most definitely going to have to tell us all the story after this rescue mission is complete, all right? I need to get down into the medical bay to get to the rescue platform, so I am going to let Joker-Fish talk to you for five minutes, all right." He watched as Cassie nodded her head with a very slight smile before she said to me with a small laugh, "Muse, please be carefully out there, bro." I, Muse, nodded in understanding as I said in return to her, "I will be carefully, Special Agent Tracy. You of all people should know that by now, sister."
Second up to talk to I, Cassie, was my favorite brother, Joker-Fish, who sat in Muse's seat in order to say what he wants to say to me at this very moment and he opened his mouth and said with a worried look on his usually happy face with his usual laugh, "Cassie, I know that Fly-Boy must have had done something to make you this mad, sister. What is the matter?" He watched as I looked at him like he has two heads and said with a look of shock/wonder on my face as I answered his crazy question with my usual laugh, "You bloody hell know what is the matter right now, Joker-Fish. I love you more than Fly-Boy at this very moment, by the way, buddy. You can tell that to Fly-Boy himself when you ever have the chance to, all right, brother." That got my favorite brother to smile his usual smile at me as he nodded in agreement to my words as he said with another of his usual laughs in return to me, "I am now going to let Star-Gazer talk to you, all right, Special Agent Tracy. See you later the rescue mission is completed, and we are back at Wharton Academy, sister." Star-Gazer waited until after our dad disconnected from the chat before taking a very deep breath as he opened his mouth and said to me with a super worried look on his face to me as I just waited for him to speak, "Cassie, just calm down for me, please. I know that Fly-Boy can be annoying to the point of dad quite possibly sending him up here for a rotation or two in a row if you know what I mean, sister. I will make sure that Fly-Boy says that he is sorry to you when he gets back to Wharton Academy, all right. I will keep you guys posted on the rescue mission."
Back in the van, I, James Larry Morrow, moved closer to Cassie who looked over her shoulder at him with a slight smile on her face and said into his headset to Star-Gazer, "Hey there, Star-Gazer. This is James Morrow and I think that your dad should tell Fly-Boy to stop making people mad as hell." I watched as my girlfriend's twin brother looked me straight in the eyes as he nodded in agreement to my words before saying with his usual laugh, "Hello there, James. I would have to agree with you there for once. You know what, I am patching you though to Thunderbird Two, so you can tell our dad that yourself, buddy." Five seconds later, I heard my girlfriend's dad say in his commander voice to Star-Gazer with a laugh, "Who is it now, Star-Gazer?" Star-Gazer and I both said my name at the same time which got both Cassie and her dad to laugh very loudly and Mr. Tracy said with a huge smile on his face, "Well, I did not think that I would hear that laugh at all today, Special Agent Tracy. I take it that you are currently trying to tell me something, James. What is it, buddy?" I, James Larry Morrow, took a very deep breath before I opened my mouth and answered his super crazy question with a laugh of my own, "I was just wanted to say that you might want to tell Fly-Boy to stop making people super angry, Mr. Tracy. I think that Cassie is still a little bit angry at him about what he said earlier, and she is not in a very good mood right now. Ouch, she just hit me on the back of my head just now." That just both Cassie's dad and Star-Gazer to said something at the same time to me in return with their usual smiles, "Well, that is something new that is and that had to hurt. We will personally tell Fly-Boy to be a little nicer to other people especially his only sister for a couple or more years, all right and James, try to calm her down with a lot of help at this very moment." With that they ended the call so that they can concentrate on the rescue mission fully at this very moment while the four of us inside of the van, Thunderbird One arrived in five minutes before Thunderbird Two at the rescue mission scene. I, James Larry Morrow, was hugging my girlfriend as we watched alongside Abby and Special Agent McGee the rescue mission when the four of us watched as an explosion rocked Thunderbird One towards the ocean making both Cassie and her dad said at the same time together to Fly-Boy, "Fly-Boy are you all right over there, buddy?" We only had to wait five seconds before my oldest brother answered our question with his usual laugh as he tried to keep calmed down, "Yes, I am fine, dad and Cassie. You two are being Mother Hens at this very moment and it is making me very happy that I exactly cracked a huge smile for a nice change."
Two and a half hours later over at Wharton Academy, I, Cassie, ran right into my dad's arms with a loud laugh before saying with a very slight smile on my face as the others watched us to a laugh, "I was so very worried about you guys! When I saw what happened to Thunderbird One, I was mostly worried about Fly-Boy for a very good reason." That was when Fly-Boy walked over to me with a sad look on his face and said to me with his usual laugh as I moved away from our dad to give him a huge hug as I looked him right in his dark blue eyes, "Cassie, I love you so much. Come on, sister, I am here and safe right now. Do I have to get Joker-Fish to make you laugh and smile right now, Cassie?" I, Cassie, looked at him with a huge smile forming on my face while our dad walked up behind him and hit Fly-Boy on the back of the head which got myself and the others including James and Fermat to laugh a little bit as he turned and looked up at our dad with a huge glaze as he placed his left hand on the spot that was currently in pain at this very moment before saying with a whine of pain, "That is not funny at all, guys. Dad, what did you hit me on the back of my head just now?" My dad looked over at I, Cassie, who walked over to him and answered Fly-Boy's question for him with my usual smile on my face with a very loud laugh, "I think that was for making me mad earlier during that rescue mission where you almost died when an explosion rocked Thunderbird One towards the ocean, Fly-Boy. You do know that I was not in a very good mood at that very moment, older brother. Where is my apology from you by the way about that argument?"
Five minutes later, I, Fly-Boy, looked down at Cassie who was smiling up at him as I said with a slight smile on my face to her with a laugh in answer to her crazy question as the rest of our family and the NCIS team listening, "Oh, yeah, about that I was going to apologize about that, Cassie. Thank you for reminding me about that, by the way. I am super sorry about that argument earlier and scaring during the rescue mission when Thunderbird One rocked by an explosion at the rescue mission scene, sister." That got my only sister give me another huge hug which the rest of our family join her in giving to me as the NCIS team watched from the sidelines with huge smiles on their faces. Three hours later inside of Wharton Academy in my dorm room, I, James Larry Morrow, was laying down on my bed right next to Cassie who was typing to her twin brother, Star-Gazer, who was happy that she was talking to him at the very moment when there was a loud sound that sounded like a gunshot right outside of the dorm room window which got me to look outside only to find my dad was the person who had been shot at by who ever was carrying a gun and I looked over at Cassie who was looking out the window as I opened my mouth and said with a sad look on my face to her, "Cassie, I know that you are worried about everyone including my dad and I do not blame you at all right now. I meant I told you a couple of days ago, Beautiful, that I will always protect and love you with all of my heart, you know that, right." I watched as she looked me right in the eyes with her usual sad look on her face as she opened her mouth and said in return to me as I felt her give a huge hug, "James, I am super scared right now. I want my dad and Muse right now, please. I love you too, Handsome and I always will love you." I, James Larry Morrow, texted Cassie's dad and Muse who came running into my dorm room with worried looks on their faces as they both give both me and Cassie a huge hug at the same time that the others excluding both Alan and Fermat who decided to come over to my dorm room had ran right over to my dad who was looking towards the window to my dorm room who a super worried look on his face at the thought. Five seconds later Cassie's dad, Jeff Tracy, opened his mouth as he looked down at Cassie and myself with a very worried look on his face and said in a whisper, "Guys, I am going to call Star-Gazer to tell him about what just happened over here at Wharton Academy, all right. Muse, you keep both of your eyes on all four of these people, do you understand me?" Muse nodded in understanding as he looked up at his dad and said with his usual laugh as he continued to hug both me and his only sister and moved closer to both the Sprout and Fermat, "Yes, dad, I understand you. Come over here, little brother and Fermat. Cassie, will please look up at me, sister? I know that you are scared right now but you know that both me and James will protect you always, right."
Meanwhile outside of my only daughter's boyfriend, James Larry Morrow's dorm room, I, Jeff Tracy, video-called Star-Gazer who immediately answer with a super worried look on his face, "Dad, what is going on over there at Wharton Academy? I have been seeing reports about one of the NCIS team members getting shot at by someone with a gun, dad. How is my twin sister doing right now?" I looked my second oldest son in his light blue eyes and answered his questions with a very sad look on my face, "Star-Gazer, it was Director Tom Morrow who was shot at by who ever it was. Fly-Boy and Joker-Fish are helping the rest of the NCIS team with searching for clues while your twin sister is with Muse, James, Fermat and the Sprout in James's dorm room. Cassie is currently in shock and scared at the same time, buddy. Would you like me to have text you very fast right now, Star-Gazer?" I watched as my second oldest son nod yes to me and I looked over my shoulder and said to his twin who immediately pulled out her cellphone, "Cassie, Star-Gazer wants you to text him, pretty please." Muse and James watched as she started to type her latest text message to her twin brother who immediately was happy and texted her back as soon as he got her text message with the following text message:
Cassie, I know that you are scared at this very moment, but you do know that the others will not let anything to you, right. Dad told me about Director Tom Morrow getting shot and I have already called for an ambulance for you, sister. You might want to talk to Abby and Ducky so that they will stop be worried about you at this very moment, by the way, Special Agent Tracy. The FBI and Homeland Security are on their way over to Wharton Academy as we are currently texting each other, by the way, Cassie. I love you so much, loveable twin sister of mine. I will see you soon and goodnight.
Star-Gazer
Seven minutes later inside of James Larry Morrow's dorm room, I, Cassie, was laying down right next to James Larry Morrow who was currently trying to fall asleep for the night after his dad was taken to the nearest hospital because of his injuries. Special Agent Gibbs and my dad went over there with Special Agent McGee and my first youngest brother, Muse, who had told everyone else to try and get some sleep for tomorrow's possible events which include school for myself, James, the Sprout and Fermat while the others are going to be monitoring the security cameras in the headmaster's office with the headmaster. I turn over and give James a huge hug which got him to look over at me and said with tears filling his eyes in a whisper, "I am also super scared, Cassie. I will sleep with you as long as you continue to hug me like you are currently doing." A couple of seconds later, the both of us had fallen fast asleep in each other's arms with peaceful smiles on our faces for the rest of the night.
Author's Notes: This chapter ended with a surprise which is only the beginning of the events leading up to Spring Break. Who could have shot at Director Tom Morrow on the grounds of Wharton Academy, I wonder at this very moment. Could it possibly be Ari Haswari or someone else? Find out next time I have a chapter ready for uploading for this story. The next chapter is going to mostly be from James Larry Morrow's point of view with a little bit of Special Crystal Jean "Cassie" Tracy's point of view. This is chapter six of the character development of my OC, Special Agent Crystal Jean "Cassie" Tracy.
