Chapter 10- Scott's Decision

Scott was sat in the living room enjoying a hot coffee whilst looking at pictures of his brothers and with the news on the television 'International rescue are currently dealing with a bridge accident. It looks like Thunderbird 4 is getting deployed which means there is someone in the water.' Scott knew it was serious if they launching Thunderbird 4 he could see that Alan was flying his bird by the way he was being careful trying not to damage the bird.

"So Scotty where are International Rescue today?"

"They are at the seven bridge between England and Wales. They have had to launch Thunderbird 4 and it is bad."

"They will save the day like they always do, and you should speak to your brothers and your father I know they are all worried about you and you are of them."

It was a couple of hours before the brothers got back Gordon was cold after a dip in the Bristol Channel and whilst Virgil was flying his bird he was also worried about Gordon who was starting to show signs of hypothermia although Virgil had told Gordon many times to get changed out of those wet clothes.

"Virg, I don't feel so good."

"Gordon you are suffering from hypothermia get changed and you will feel better trust me."

"FAB Virg." As Gordon left the bridge he collapsed

"GORDON. Mayday Mayday Gordon is down."

"Virgil get him dry and then get him back to base."

"FAB" Virgil got Gordon into the med bay and got him sorted before heading back up to the bridge to fly the rest of the way home. Jeff was in the solio waiting for Thunderbird 2 to land before helping Virgil get Gordon to sick bay.

The four brothers got together and decided to call Scott to try to persuade him to come home to a family that is loving and caring. The four of them felt bad about what was happening to their brother and his girlfriend knowing full well it was their fault.

"Tracy brothers calling Scott Tracy." Hoping that Scott would answer his phone so they could tell him that they all love him and they want him to come home.

Scott saw his phone and realised his brothers were trying to contact him knowing full well that when they realise they have done something wrong they try and make things right again. "Hey Guys, what do you want? Where is Gordon?"

"Gordon decided to take a dip in the Bristol Channel and then decided to get hypothermia and then collapses. We just wanted to say we are sorry for the way we behaved the other day with Emily. We are wanting you to come home so that we can be a family again. Scott, Alan has been joy riding Thunderbird 1 and the paint work needs re-doing. Just come home please."

"John you know Dad wouldn't allow Alan to joy ride my Bird and plus I am thinking about returning home but I am still unsure about things. Give me time to think about it and I will give you an answer soon. John I am coming home now you need me to."

"Alright brother but please don't forgot us back here on the Island an return soon. Dad is starting to miss his right hand man and keeping the terrible two in line is hard enough."

Scott knew that he must return home to help need his brothers in check but then he was worried about Emily and wanting to be with her as well as his family. Emily walked into the living room and saw Scott sat on a chair with his face in his hands. "Scott wants wrong?"

"Emily I want to go home but I don't want to leave you. I should be looking after you."

"Scott if you want to go home, you go home I am not going to stop from going and I know you want to."

"Thank you Emily. I am glad that you believe in me but there is some days that I don't believe in myself."

"Scott I know your brothers believe in you and so do I." Scott and Emily hugged and they knew that it was going to be hard for the pair of them. "Scott you have a choice to make whether you stay here or you go home."

It was the next day before Scott realised that although his girlfriend needs him his family needs him more and he could tell that what with Gordon suffering from hypothermia and he should be with his family. "Emily I think I am going to head home but you know that I am only a phone call away."

"Scott I understand that you need to go home and I know that you are only a phone call away but your family needs you more at the moment and I am not going to stop you."

"Thank you Emily and I will be back before you know it and it is only a train journey into the city centre and I will call you every night for as long as I am at home."

"You better call your dad to let him know that you are going home."

"FAB. I will call him now."

"Scott Tracy calling Tracy Island."

"Tracy Island here Scott what's wrong?"

"Alan can I speak to dad please it is important." A few minutes later Jeff Tracy appeared on the screen. "Alan please could you leave so that I could speak to dad."

"I know when I am not wanted."

"Dad I am coming home you need me at home and Emily is happy for me to go she was the one told me to go home."

"Scott if you want to come home then I am not going to stop you but I know you are coming home because of Gordon and I understand that you are worried about your brothers and I understand. Gordon is fine just really cold he is already running circles around the rest of us."
