Chapter 12: Unseen Heroes, part 2. Plan.

Parker drove, Penny sat in the front, while Scott sat in the back of FAB 1 with John one side and Darcy the other. Before they had departed it had been quickly decided that they wouldn't call this into Jeff. Knowing the information might distract their brothers from the mission, also if they were wrong and the man was indeed GDF then they didn't want to worry anyone for no reason, and finally because John and Scott knew their dad would order them to stay away and enjoy their holiday.

"Are we there yet?" Scott asked with a frown, when for the 60th time, not that he was counting, John leaned across him to talk to Darcy.

John laughed. "Scott, you sound just like Alan, when he was 6 years old!"

Scott mumbled some choice words under his breath.

"Master Scott, please," Parker scolded, "there are ladies present!"

"Sorry Parker… Ladies," Scott responded with another frown.

"Scott, if you're not careful your face will get stuck like that," John teased.

Scott glared at John. "Seriously, you can sit in the middle on the way back!"

John grinned and looked at Darcy. "My pleasure."

"Oh God!" Scott said rolling his eyes.

After another 15 minutes Parker parked FAB 1 in a secluded spot, near enough to the danger zone but far enough away so as not to be spotted by anyone.

Reaching into the glove compartment, Penny pulled out a couple of high-tech tablets and handed them to John and Darcy, followed by an ear piece for them both before passing another one to Scott, then Parker, and finally attaching the last one to herself.

"Right, we should quickly go over the plan again," Scott said, "John, Darcy… You will stay here in FAB 1 and will gain access to this guy's DOA STARR system and see if you can find out what he's up to."

"No. Problem Scott," John confirmed.

"I can hack into the computer systems for the rescue services," Darcy suggested, "and see if there's anything that they know which may help us."

"That's a great idea," John replied looking impressed.

Scott coughed the words, 'Marry Her' to his brother, which earned him a slap around the back of his head from John. Rubbing the back of his head, Scott continued. "Meanwhile, myself, Penny and Parker will make our way to the danger zone and see what we can find out. We'll keep in touch through these ear pieces."

"Just make sure none of our brothers spot you," John advised, "if dad finds out we are here and not off enjoying our holiday he'll flip."

Scott let out a laugh. "You're right there!"

Penny smiled. "Right Scott, Parker are you ready?"

"FAB!" They both chimed.

Penny, Scott and Parker climbed out of FAB 1. Penny then stopped, turned back to FAB 1, leaned in the car, and spoke quietly to Darcy. "Don't do anything I wouldn't do!"

"But Penny, I remember what you were like when you were 15, that leaves me with a lot…"

Penny stopped Darcy short. "Just be a good girl… And John, make sure you look after her."

"Don't worry Penny I will!" John confirmed with a big smile.

Penny frowned and then made her way back over to Scott and Parker, so they could head to the danger zone.

John looked at Darcy as they both started to set up the tablets they had been given. "Sounds like you have a lot of dirt on Penny?"

"Oh, so much!" Darcy grinned.

"You really need to fill me in on these details," John added, "Especially what she was like when she was 15."

"I'll give you three words," Darcy replied laughing, "dyed black hair!"

John's mouth dropped open. "Oh, you are so telling me more!"
