Chapter 10- 20 hours
Disclaimer- The Thunderbirds are not mine but Abby Pond and Emily Tracy is mine make up characters.
12 hours after the Thunderbirds first arrived on scene the rescue was winding down and all 5 brothers had aches and pain in places they did not know they had. Gordon was still planning on pranking Alan when he had a chance. Scott was not happy at letting his immediate younger brother be field commander but he was in no place to judge. Many of times Scott wanted to take over from John but John would not let him take him take control.
The Thunderbirds have rescued over 10,000 people from the earthquakes and the tsunamis. Gordon was still in Thunderbird 4 trying to find people alive but it was not working most of it now was recovering mission now.
Scott had the horrible job of informing families that they had lost loved one's every time he would think of Emily and the twins and his father and brothers, each time it got harder and harder for him. "Scott why don't you go and take another break you look like you need that break and give Emily a call I am sure she could do with talking to you."
"No I am fine field commander what about mobile control and telling all the families and dealing with the rescue." Scott started to panic.
"Scott leave that to me just do as you are told for once." Scott walked over to Thunderbird 2 to where he could go and rest in the crew quarters where he can rest and talk to the island without anyone over hearing him. Scott knew he needed to speak to Emily but with her condition he did not want to.
"Scott is that you?" Emily asked as she was still half asleep after getting back from the mainland with Jeff and only just got to sleep after being sick.
"Yes Em it is me. John told me to take another break, they have not let me do anything apart from man mobile control. Now please don't be upset but I have had the worse job telling families that they have lost loved ones and trying to not have any emotions. Every time I think of you and bumps (Twins). How are you? Are bumps behaving themselves."
"That is so sad. I am glad John told you to take another break dear we all know what you are like when you are angry and it has been a hard rescue for all you boys. I am fine now I had only just got to sleep after being sick for the last 30 minutes don't worry dad has been looking after me. No the bumps have not been behaving themselves they have been moving around and not giving me a break. You should get some rest and that is not talking to me that is sleeping as well." Emily explained in need of a break and Scott to be with her.
"Alright alright you win I am going to get some sleep but I will be worried about you."

Once Scott returned to mobile control he seems better after talking to Emily and resting in the crew quarters of Thunderbird 2. He seems more like himself but John was not going to take any risks so he decided to stay field commander and the rescue was almost over. "Field Commander to base come in"
"Base here what is wrong John" asked Emily
"Emily I was expecting dad to answer. Nothing I was just reporting in. We should be done about 5 hours then we will be heading back to base. Scott seems better did he talk to you or something he seems more like himself."
"No that is fine I was just walking pass the study and I heard it ringing so I thought I would answer it. Ok I will inform base command that it will be about 5 hours and yes I did speak to Scott but he was considered about me and the baby (A/N John does not know it is twins) as base commander had to bring me back because Op1 came straight to you guys. I am going to head back to bed so make sure Scott does not call my watch."
"Alright Em we will see you when we return to base and I will make sure he does not. I know he will want to fly one home."
5 hours later
