Day #10 of my special mission to protect the Sprout and Fermat from their bullies:
The next morning at 3 o'clock in the morning at Wharton Academy, I, James Larry Morrow, woke up screaming from a nightmare which woke up both Alan and Fermat who immediately called for Muse who came running over to their dorm room. I looked around to see that Muse was worried and I said with a not so shocked look on my face, "I sometimes have nightmares, all right, Muse." I watched as he nodded in understanding to my words and he opened his mouth, "Do you want me to tell Star-Gazer, James because I am pretty sure that someone is awake up inside of Thunderbird Five at this very moment? I am going to go and tell my dad so that he can go and visit your dad in the hospital." I nodded yes to him, and Muse immediately had Alan pull out his cellphone, dialed up Star-Gazer who immediately answered the call by saying, "Hey, Sprout. What is the matter right now, buddy?" I watched as Muse grabbed the cellphone and answered Star-Gazer's question for Alan with a worried look on his face, "Hey, Star-Gazer. It is me, Muse. I had Alan call you so that I can find out with Cassie is sleeping all right at this very moment because James had just waked up screaming from a nightmare. Is she still asleep or not, buddy?" We did not have to wait five minutes for an answer to Muse's question from Star-Gazer, "Cassie also woken up screaming from a nightmare, guys. Is James still up, by any chance, because Cassie is right next to me right now?" Muse looked over at me and putted Alan's cellphone on speakerphone and answered Star-Gazer's question with a super worried look on his face as I looked at a wall in front of myself, "Yeah, James is still here, Star-Gazer. He is currently staring at a wall in front of him. What is Cassie doing right now, Star-Gazer?"
Meanwhile up inside of Thunderbird Five, I, Star-Gazer, looked over at my twin sister who was currently staring in shocked at the control panel while Aileanna the kitten was meowing like crazy trying to calm her down without success at all and then I answered Muse's question with a very worried look on my face in return to Muse, "Cassie is currently staring at the control panel in shock while Aileanna is meowing at me what to know what is going on. Please, tell dad for me, brother." I heard Muse tell Fermat and Alan to run over to Thunderbird Two and tell our dad about this right away and Fermat and Alan left their dorm room running like crazy all the way to Thunderbird Two. Seven minutes later, the rest of the family entered Alan and Fermat's dorm room and saw that James was shaking like crazy and immediately our dad ran over to him and said in his commander voice to the others, "Boys, call the hospital and tell Director Tom Morrow what is going on right now. I am going to help James walk over to Thunderbird Two. Fermat and Alan, you two can help me out but after we get him over to Thunderbird Two, I want you to head back to your dorm room and go back to sleep if you can, all right." Everyone nodded in understanding and my brothers (Fly-Boy, Muse and Joker-Fish) used one of their cellphones to call the hospital in order to alert James Larry Morrow's eldest son, James Larry Morrow, waking up screaming from a nightmare while our dad, youngest brother, Alan and Fermat helped James stand up and start walking over to Thunderbird Two.
Over at the hospital, I, Director Tom Morrow, answered the phone in mine and Dinozzo's hospital room with a very worried look on my face, "What is the matter over at Wharton Academy now?" Muse took a very deep breath and then answered his question very quickly, "Both your son and my sister woke up screaming from a nightmare at 3 o'clock in the morning. They are both in shock right now. My dad is taking James out to Thunderbird Two with the help of Alan and Fermat right now." I shaken my head before I asked in a knowing voice, "Was James staring at a wall after a while, Muse?" I only had to wait seven seconds for the answer to my question from Muse who almost immediately answered with a very quiet laugh in return to me, "Yes, he was staring at a wall after a while, Tom. How did you know about that?" I thought about what to say at this very moment about James' medical history while I shared a look with Special Agent Dinozzo who knew that I was going to be going back to bed after this call was over. Five minutes later, I answered Muse's question with a very shaky voice, "I might as well better as truthful as I possibility can about James' medical history without he starting to cry, all right. He has nightmares every six to seven weeks so that is why he was sleeping in his own dorm room until his dorm room was messed up by whoever had gotten in there, so I had a very bad feeling that he was going have one tonight." I heard Muse take a very deep breath and said in understanding with a very slight laugh, "Tom, do not worry about him. I will personally keep an eye on him and hopefully my dad has gotten him inside of Thunderbird Two by now." Just as I heard him say that, Alan and Fermat came running into their dorm room and they said with very worried looks on their faces, "James just passed out right outside of Thunderbird Two, Muse!"
That was when I, Muse, ended the phone call so that I could run over to Thunderbird Two as fast as I possibly I could with both Fly-Boy and Joker-Fish following very closely behind me running just as fast at this very moment. As soon as I got to Thunderbird Two, I noticed that dad had to carry James into the medical bay for medical treatment because there was a lot of blood on the ground and sure enough as I soon as enter Thunderbird Two, I saw that James was wide awake but a little bit dizzy and I said with a very quiet laugh to him as I walked over to him, "James, please stay awake, buddy. I have already talked with your dad who mentioned your medical history with your nightmares." He looked up at me and said with a shocked look on his face, "I am not at all shocked that my father mentioned my medical history when you possibly told him about me waking up screaming from that nightmare. Your dad is checking on Cassie with the help of Star-Gazer. Around the time I had passed out, Cassie had passed out as well, Muse. I am so very worried about her right now." I give him a huge hug as I changed his bandages and give him some medicine to see if it helps him get some sleep before I headed up to the bridge where Star-Gazer and dad were trying to figure out the connection to both James and Cassie because they were worried about the both of them at this very moment. I walked over to dad who immediately looked at me and said with his normal voice and a very loud laugh, "Why, hello, Muse. What did Director Tom Morrow tell you?" I immediately a very deep breath before I answered his question with a very quiet laugh, "Hey, guys, Director Tom Morrow mentioned that James has a medical history that include his nightmares. How is Cassie doing right now, Star-Gazer?"
Five seconds later up inside of Thunderbird Five, I, Star-Gazer, looked over at my twin sister, Cassie, who was currently sleeping once more on the bottom bunk of the bunkbed after she passed out earlier before looking back at the control panel's video screen and answered Muse's question with a slightly worried look on my face, "Cassie is currently sleeping over on the bottom bunk of the bunkbed right now. How is James, Muse?" Muse immediately answered my question with a very slight smile on his face, "James is also sleeping down in the medical bay of Thunderbird Two, Star-Gazer. Do you think that I would get him over to Tracy Island and into the infirmary or do you want him up there in help with entertaining Cassie, brother?" I had to think about my answer to that question that my middle brother answered at this very moment because I knew that Cassie would have liked James to be with her up here, but Alan and Fermat are going to want James down there. Five seconds later, I finally opened my mouth and answered Muse's question, "I think that you would definitely get James over to Tracy Island and into the infirmary, Muse. Dad, when James is awake, can you made sure that he contacts me so that Cassie when she wakes up from her nap can talk to him for a change?" I watched as our dad nodded in understanding while Muse smiled and they both said together at the same time, "You know that we will make sure that James contacts you so that your twin sister can talk to him in order for you to listen for rescue calls. Any rescue calls at this very moment, Star-Gazer, by the way?" I started to check for any rescue missions and found none currently and answered with a huge smile on my face, "There is currently no rescue calls/missions at this very moment, guys." After I had finished saying my answer, my dad and Muse waved goodbye also with huge smiles on their faces as they ended the video call, I just sat in my usual chair for five minutes until I felt a hand on my left shoulder. I turned my chair around to see that my loveable twin sister was wide awake, and I smiled and said to her with a very loud laugh, "Hey there, sister. Did you hear what Muse said about James, by any chance?"
As soon as my twin brother, Star-Gazer, mentioned James, I nodded yes to him which got him to give me a huge hug as I opened my mouth and said in a whisper to him, "What are Muse and dad doing right now, Star-Gazer?" I watched as he texted Muse for Cassie who watched as I did so, and she picked up Aileanna who immediately started licking her like crazy making her laugh. Five seconds later, Muse had texted Star-Gazer saying our dad and him are back at Tracy Island right now. Please, tell me that is Cassie being awake right now because James is awake at this very moment, Star-Gazer. Call me if she is awake, buddy. I, Special Agent Tracy, was immediately helped over to one of the other chairs in the main area of Thunderbird Five as her twin brother called Muse using the video screen who immediately answered with a huge smile on his face, "Hey, you two. Cassie, how are you feeling right now?" I laughed as I answered Muse's question with my usual smile on my face, "I am feeling fine right now, Muse. Where is James at, brother?" I watched as Muse turned his tablet with a very loud laugh answering my question by showing me that James was with him in his way to the infirmary on Tracy Island and said with his normal voice, "Here is James, Cassie. James, look up, buddy at the tablet screen at Cassie." I stared at James who stared right back at me before he said to me with a huge smile on his face, "Hey there, Beautiful. I am so very glad to see you right now. I am a little bit dizzy right now before you ask me, Cassie." I nodded in understanding and smiled before I said to James with a very loud laugh, "Hello, Handsome. You are going to have to deal with my middle brother over there, you know, that right? Because he can be a Mother Hen most of the time. Am I right, Muse?"
Meanwhile over on Tracy Island, I, Muse, laughed as I answered Cassie's question with a huge smile on my face, "You are definitely correct on that front, sister. James, say goodbye so that I can check you out and give you some more medicine so that you can get some more sleep plus I need to hook some machines up to you as well, buddy." I watched as James said to Cassie with a very quiet laugh, "Goodbye, Beautiful. I think that Muse is going to definitely be a Mother Hen for a little while. I love you, Cassie." Seven seconds later Star-Gazer had ended the video call from his end up inside of Thunderbird Five, I looked at the time and knew that both Alan and Fermat were in 3rd period as I was finally pushing James into the Infirmary on Tracy Island and as soon as the hoverbed had clicked into place in the wall, I looked into James' eyes and knew that he was definitely in need of some medicine and sleep. I knew that I needed to check him out for other injures and change his bandages and then see if he wanted to eat anything before he has any more medicine and sleep. I was very happy when he wanted to eat something for breakfast and I had dad bring something from the kitchen that Tintin personally had made for him when we called ahead of time so just in case he wanted to eat something. After he had finished eating, I had him drink some water before I give him some medicine which made him very sleepy immediately, so I had Tintin come in and help me took him up to some machines while the rescue alert came in. I looked up at Tintin and said with a very quiet laugh to her, "Tintin, can you keep an eye on James for me while this rescue mission is being performed, please?" I watched as Tintin watched and said with a very quiet laugh, "Yes, Muse, I will keep an eye on James for you. Now, you better get going now so that your dad does not get angry."
Five minutes later inside of Thunderbird Two which means it has been over four hours and forty-five minutes since I, Jeff Tracy, and my middle son, Muse had brought Cassie's boyfriend, James Larry Morrow, over here to Tracy Island because of his medical history of having nightmares every once in a while, and now there is a rescue mission for International Rescue/the Thunderbirds to perform. I had already called both Fly-Boy and Joker-Fish who immediately ran over to Thunderbird One as fast as they could, and I was just waiting for Muse who finally came up to the bridge ready for action with a very slight smile on his face. I looked up at him and said in my commander voice to him, "It is about time you showed up, Muse. Your brothers are thirty-seven minutes away from the rescue mission area already. Who watching over James right now, buddy?" I watched as Muse take a very deep breath and answered my question with a huge smile on his face in return, "Tintin is watching over James right now, dad. He was definitely hungry, dad. He is sleeping right now. Is Cassie helping Star-Gazer out right now up inside of Thunderbird Five, by any chance, dad?" Dad pointed behind him at the screen and I looked over saw both Star-Gazer and Cassie staring at me with huge smiles on their faces while Aileanna was looking at both me and dad meowing like crazy as Cassie opened her mouth and answered my question for our dad with a very quiet laugh, "Of course, I am helping Star-Gazer right now, Muse. You are sometimes a little bit crazy, Muse, you know that, right?" Muse nodded in agreement to his only sister's words as he answered her question with a very loud laugh, "Yeah, I most definitely know that I am a little bit crazy, sister. I am Tracy after all, right, dad?" I rolled my eyes as I pointed to the co-pilot's seat and Muse sat down in on, fasten his seatbelt and smiled as we headed out towards the rescue mission area.
Meanwhile up inside of Thunderbird Five, I, Star-Gazer, looked over at my loveable twin sister, Cassie, who was currently sitting right beside me on her chair playing with Aileanna the kitten like crazy who was meowing at the both of us right now until a light started flashing. I immediately saw that Thunderbirds One and Two were checking in with us and I flipped on the switch and said with a huge smile on my face as Cassie looked up with Aileanna meowing, "Hey guys, what is your ETAs to the rescue mission area?" I only had to wait five seconds for an answer from Fly-Boy first who said Thunderbird One's ETA is fifteen minutes and an answer from our dad, Jeff Tracy, second who said Thunderbird Two's ETA is twenty-three minutes which got Cassie to smile and together we both said huge smiles on our faces to both of them, "Hey there, guys. There is a lot of rain over in your area so be super careful." We both heard our dad said in his commander voice with a very slight laugh in return to the two of us, "Thanks for telling us that, you two. Cassie, why I am hearing Aileanna meowing right now, sweetheart? Star-Gazer, has Cassie had something to eat today yet, buddy?" First, I, Star-Gazer, answered dad's question with a very slight grin as Cassie give a lot of attention so that she would stop meowing, "Now, that you mention that, dad, this rescue call came in right as I was getting breakfast started on the oven so no, we have not eaten anything yet today." Dad breathed a very deep breath and said in understanding to my words in his normal voice to me with a very loud laugh, "That is understandable, Star-Gazer. I will keep you in the loop, but you must want two to eat something all right, buddy." I, Star-Gazer, looked over at Cassie who immediately looked up at our dad who knew immediately that she was having a little bit of trouble with Aileanna the kitten and he said to her with a very slight smile on his face, "Cassie, let me see Aileanna the kitten, please. Hey there, Aileanna. You are all right, you super cute and crazy kitten. Cassie, please, go and eat something for breakfast while we perform this rescue mission, all right."
Meanwhile over at Wharton Academy, I, Alan Shepard "The Sprout" Tracy, was working on the worksheet from the Art teacher as was Fermat who knew that I could not stop thinking about what happened earlier this morning. The teacher was notified by James' dad, Director Tom Morrow who has the whole NCIS team including Special Agent Burley who was sitting right behind me and Fermat keeping an eye on the two of us. Five seconds later the bell rung for free period, I looked over at Burley and asked in a whisper to him with a very quiet laugh, "Have you heard anything about Cassie since last night, Stan?" He smiled back at me and answered my question with very slight nod of his head also in a whisper to me, "Yeah, she is currently eating something for breakfast with Star-Gazer while the rest of your family is performing a rescue mission, Sprout. I take it that you are worried right now." I nodded at him and Stan grabbed my right hand with his left and said in understanding to me still in a whisper to me, "You do know that your sister can take care of herself however sometimes she can be a little bit like Fly-Boy and your dad. You should know that by now, Sprout." I nodded in agreement to Special Agent Burley before I ran to catch up with my best friend for life, Fermat Hackenbacker, who was already halfway down the hallway. The two of us walked over to the library where I decided to text Tintin who immediately texted me back with an update on James who was currently fast asleep.
Twenty-nine minutes later over on Tracy Island, I, Tintin, watched as my best friend for life, Special Agent Tracy's boyfriend, James Larry Morrow, started to wake up so I poured him a large glass of water for when he was finally awake. James looked up at me and asked in a whisper with a very quiet laugh, "How is Cassie right now, Tintin?" I texted Alan about Cassie and he immediately texted me back saying that she is was awake and eating twenty-nine minutes ago up inside of Thunderbird Five with Star-Gazer and I said also in a whisper to James with a very loud laugh, "Alan just texted me that Cassie was awake and eating twenty-nine minutes with Star-Gazer up inside of Thunderbird Five, James. Before you ask, Jeff and Muse are currently performing a rescue mission at this very moment, buddy." I watched as James looked around the room and I smiled as he finally sat up and took a huge slip of water and I finally asked him if he wants anything to eat for lunch and he looked at me and said still in a whisper with a very loud laugh, "Yes, I would like something to eat for lunch, Tintin." I smiled as I left the infirmary when I almost walked right into Brains who knew immediately that I needed him to keep an eye on James in the infirmary while I made him a sandwich and some chips. On my way back over to the infirmary, I almost walked into Muse who smiled at the sight of me carrying a plate with a sandwich and some chips for James' lunch and he said with his usual smile on his face as he held his left hand out for the plate with James' lunch on it to me, "Hey there, Tintin. I will give James his lunch for you so that you can help your mother start cooking the dinner for tonight. You do know that today is the first day of Spring Break for Alan and Fermat, right?"
As I, Muse, entered the infirmary with James' lunch and said to him as I very carefully handed him his lunch with a huge smile on my face, "Good afternoon, James. I can see that you have met Fermat's dad, Brains. Brains, this is James Larry Morrow, the son of NCIS Director Tom Morrow and boyfriend of my only sister, Special Agent Crystal Jean "Cassie" Tracy." I watched as Brains looked over at James and said with a slight smile on his face, "I take it that you know my son then, James. I have met your dad only once and I am a little bit shocked that you are dating Cassie. She can be a little bit like her oldest brother and dad, right, Muse?" Both me and Brains waited for James to eat his lunch before he asked with a slight smile on his face, "Have you heard anything from NCIS Special Agent Burley and or Gibbs lately?" Right as soon as he asked that question, my dad entered the infirmary and answered it for me, "Funny that you would be the person to ask that question, James. I just so happened to have talked not only NCIS Special Agents Burley and Gibbs but your dad as well, buddy. Director Tom Morrow and Special Agent Dinozzo were just released from the hospital this morning after we got you here to Tracy Island. Your dad has Abby, Burley, Ducky and McGee shadowing both Alan and Fermat for the rest of the school day and I am really hoping to able to personally pick them up from Wharton Academy." Right as my dad finished that sentence, the rescue alarm sounded which got him to very quickly said to Brains with a very loud laugh, "Brains, can you pretty please contact Lady P. and Parker and tell them that I need them to pick up both Alan and Fermat from Wharton Academy at the end of the school day for me?" I watched Brains nod in understanding as both me and dad headed back down to Thunderbird Two and on own way over to the command and control room, I, Muse said to Tintin with a slight smile on my face, "Tintin, you are in charge of keeping an eye on James while I am gone, all right?"
Four minutes later, I, Tintin, looked over at my mother and said with a very loud laugh, "Here we go again. That is two in a row for rescue missions since they brought Cassie's boyfriend, James, over here to Tracy Island, mom." I watched as my mother nodded in agreement to my words and said with a very quiet laugh in return to me, "You can go back to the infirmary, Tintin, sweetheart. I can handle making dinner for tonight by myself so that you can keep an eye on James, all right." I nodded to her as I headed back over to the infirmary where I almost walked into Brains who was on the phone with Lady P. and Parker. He looked down at me and said in a whisper that only I can hear, "I give James some more medicine so that he could get a little bit more sleep before Alan and Fermat return here to Tracy Island for Spring Break, Tintin." I smiled and nodded in understanding as I walked into the infirmary and sat down in one of the chairs near James' hoverbed and keep an eye on him just like Muse told me to do. I could not help but think about Alan and Fermat being at Wharton Academy being shadowed by the NCIS team for the rest of the school day with a huge smile on my face.
The next chapter is the beginning of the movie minus the opening titles. It is going to take me five to seven days to typed up the next chapter so please be patient with me as I type it up.
