I don't own Thunderbirds...but I own a dog that thinks she's a wombat (and has help from the next door's dog). thank you for your wonderful reviews. please keep them coming.
Virgil's POV
I felt my heart stop when I herd both Gordon and Scott calling out for our baby brother. I had to move. That's when I let the medic side tell me what to do. When I got to the class room I saw Alan lying on the floor trying to keep his eyes opening and Scott encourage him. I could tell he was trying to keep calm but his voice was betraying him. Gordon was looking up at me before moving away from Alan's side.
John's POV
I just got to the door way seeing Virgil had stop. I could see Gordon had just move away from our baby brother's side but Virgil hadn't moved from the door way. I put a hand on Virgil's shoulder and gave it a squeeze. Virgil had taken a deep breath and went into his medic mode. I knew it was his way to detach from his emotions of the situation.
I took a sit next to Scott and took Alan's hand. I notice how graze it was. In fact it was bleeding. I took an antic wipe and started to clean it. I looked up seeing Gordon had slowly back away for the teacher's desk. The look on his face made alarm bells ring in my head.
Scott's POV
I was softly talking to Alan trying to make sure he stayed awake. I notice that a tear had fallen and I brushed it away. The pain in Alan's eyes scared me. I notice that Virgil had join us but there worry in his eyes. It is the worst we have seen Alan. I looked up seeing Gordon making his way to the teacher's desk. I turn back to Alan whimper from Virgil touching his chest. I look at Virgil who looked at me.
"Can't you give him anything for the pain?" I asked
"I would have given him something by now but I can't risk it until I know the extent of his head injury" Virgil said while brushing away another of Alan's tears.
Then John asked "Gordon what's wrong?"
Gordon's POV
After I look over to where Virgil, Scott and John where with Alan. I had decided to scope the classroom. Something didn't feel right. Was it the military training or the Tracy instinct I don't know but it was telling me to walk over to the teacher's desk and look be hide it. On the floor was another of the black boxes that both Scott and I recognize as a bomb. I slowly back away.
"Gordon what's wrong?" John asked.
I look over to my brothers and felt my blood gone cold. "We need to get Allie out now!"
No one POV
Scott didn't waste time. The look on Gordon face had told him enough to make a quick decision. He pick up Alan bride style and try to ignore the whimper coming from his youngest brother. Virgil had pick up his medic bag and taken John's hand to help him up. Gordon had taken the lead getting them out of the building.
Jeff hate waiting. He was getting worried. He hadn't heard from any of his sons. It had been half an hour when John and Virgil left him to search for Gordon and Scott. Half an hour was long enough. He was about to leave Thunderbird Two when he heard another explosion. His blood went cold when he realize where it was coming from. It was the building where his sons had gone to.
Scott had made it half way of the field when the explosion happen. He had slowly sat up looking over to John would was helping Gordon sit up. While Virgil was already attending to Alan.
"Scott we need to get him to Two…can you still carry him?" Virgil asked with a shaking voice.
Scott nod not trusting his voice to give away how scare he was.
"Commander to Scott come in Scott" it was his father voice and with was full of fear.
"Commander?"
"Scott are you ok? Are the rest of your brothers' ok? Is Alan ok?" Jeff fired.
"Dad can you get Two ready for takeoff?"
Jeff frown. Scott didn't answer his questions. "Scott?"
Scott was looking down at Alan seeing him closing his eyes.
If you asked the Tracy brothers if they remember getting onto Thunderbird Two. They would have said no. If you asked them if they remember the trip back home. They would have said no. If you had asked them if they remember anything from the three days. They would have said only parts of it. In fact the reality everything was a blur.
John was sitting on his balcony looking down at the calm ocean. He watch the waves come in and out. But it didn't seem to relax him. He was deep in his thoughts when Gordon sat down next to him which had him jump up a little. John look at the second youngest seeing he didn't get much sleep.
Both Gordon and John remain quiet for a while. Each in their own thoughts. Neither didn't notice Virgil until he sat on the other side of Gordon.
"So this is where you two were hiding" Virgil whisper.
"I wasn't hiding…just wanted company" Gordon whisper sat sitting back in the chair.
"Not that I was any good company" John said.
"Your presents was enough for me" Gordon said.
"Did you two get any sleep?" Virgil asked.
Both shook their heads.
"You?" John asked.
"None" Virgil replied.
Scott was looking around the table at his younger brothers seeing that they couldn't keep their eyes open. In fact he had to admit that he was having trouble himself. He tried to fall asleep but end up dozing in and out of sleep. The evens of the Transom and Million were still fresh in his mind. What he need was a distraction. In fact that all they need.
"What if we did a movie night tonight?" Scott asked.
He watch all three of his younger brothers looked up him and nod in agreement.
"Any theme?" Scott asked.
"I'm willing to go on the flow on this one" Gordon said before yawning.
"Yeah just pick a random movie….one with a lot of laughs would be good" Virgil said with a tried smile.
"We could do with some laughs" John said "just make sure it's a movie that not going to give Gordon any pranking ideas"
"Hey! I resent that" Gordon said sitting up.
It was half way of a two hour movie when Jeff walked into the lounge room seeing that all of his older boys had fallen asleep. Scott and John had taken the recliners while Gordon had taken the couch. Virgil was on the floor in front of the said couch. Jeff careful place a blanket on each other the boys before turning the TV and the lights off. He noted how dark the circles under each of his son eyes but at least they looked relax.
Penny reported what the FBI had found and it brought chills down Jeff's body. It appear neither Transom nor Mullion where going to leave anything to chance. They were going to bring down Alan one way or another. Each of the class room had 'little black boxes' as Gordon called them. It was just pure luck that when one 'black box' went off didn't set of the others. But the school was going to be close for a month making sure there wasn't any more little nasty surprises.
Which left a question for Jeff.
Did he want to send his baby boy back to Wharton?
