After a girl is grown, her little brothers - now her protectors - seem like big brothers. ~Astrid Alauda
Scott sighed as he stepped into the house. Automatically he dropped his backpack next to the door and walked into the kitchen. There was a note on the fridge.
Just Scott and Sally tonight.
See you in the morning ~ DAD
Typical Friday night, Scott thought, Dad's working, Gram's out of town and everyone else is at some form of sleepover.
Scott opened the fridge just as the sound of a window slamming shut came from upstairs. He looked up "Sal?" He called as he made his way to the stairs.
A door closed quietly as Scott neared the top of the stairs "Sally?" he called as he approached his sister's door.
"Hang on" Her voice was strained
Scott heard scuffling through the door "I'm coming in"
He took in how dark the room was as he opened the door "Wow Sal" he commented half jokingly "And you tell us to leave the light on when we are at the computer"
Sally didn't answer, she just stared at the computer screen.
Scott stepped forward "You're home early, how did you date go?"He regretted the question as soon as he asked it.
Sally's shoulders started shaking.
"Sal? Are you crying?" Scott reached forward and turned on her desk light "What…"
She turned her head away sharply as the light came on "Leave me alone Scott"
Scott frowned "Sal…" he paused as he caught sight of something and gently cupped his sister's chin "What happened?" he demanded as her turned her to face him. A bright red mark decorated the side of her face,
Sally flinched at the fury that appeared in her brother's voice "He…He hit me" she whispered.
Scott grit his teeth "Sally…" He placed his hand on her shoulder as she laid her head on her arms "Hey, He can't hurt you here. I've got your back" he rubbed her shoulder as she cried.
"Ah, you are Jeff's eldest boy" the Hood commented as Scott walked in "and to what do I owe the pleasure?"
Scott took a breath as he sat at the cold, metal table across from his family's enemy "Why?"
The Hood raised an eyebrow "Why what?" he folded his hands, a pair of cuffs kept him from using his powers "Why does the sun shine? Why is the grass green? Why…"
Scott threw the folder down; his eyes bitter cold.
The Hood picked up the folder and opened it "Ah, yes" he said. Inside was a blown up image of his standing beneath the wing of Thunderbird 6 "my first look at your technology. Not quite as impressive as it is now, but still…" he sighed and put down the folder "A shame we lost that little jet, our support cables" he hesitated "came loose as we were pulling it up"
Scott grit his teeth "Is that why you killed my sister?" he hissed "for a jet you never got?"
The Hood laughed "of course, I should have put it together. Jeff Tracy's missing daughter. How foolish of me to…"
"Why did you kill my sister!" Scott demanded as he shot to his feet
The Hood smiled "What makes you think she is dead?"
OK, so to answer the question I know is coming. Yes, someone in the prison knows that Scott is part of IR. Everything surrounding that will be revealed next chapter. Please take the poll on my profile, this is your last chance, as of my next posting it will be closed.
