Virgil and Gordon returned home and heard frustrated screaming as they walked through the hanger past the gym, they entered the lounge and Virgil pointed back to the hangers.

"Wow, what's got Kayo so pissed?"

"As soon as she found out The Hood had got out, she went crazy," Alan shrugged.

"Ah, well at least The Mechanic is defenceless now."

"That's never true," Scott grimaced, "he still needs to be arrested."

"Hmm well, he needs to be found first."

Kayo came upstairs still fuming and hit the wall as she walked down into the ring, Virgil caught her in his arms, "urgh how could they be so blind!? My uncle is a master criminal and they didn't keep a better eye on him!"

"Alright Kayo, relax relax," Virgil held her arms gently.

"I'm sorry, I just can't get over how stupid the GDF are," Kayo took a deep breath.

Scott leant forward cupping his chin in his hands, "no, me neither."

Kayo hugged Virgil tightly then walked down into the ring to snuggle up next to Scott, "I'd love to kill him."

"Don't do that, you are not a murderer," Scott looked at her and took her hand tightly in his, "you'd be arrested."

"I'd feel good as long as he was put in his place. I can't believe they planned this from the start," she wiped away forming tears angrily.

"If you want to cry go for it," Scott smiled.

"No, that's weakness. Did you see The mechanic leave Gordon, Virgil?"

"No-one but the GDF officers left that machine," Gordon crossed his ankles.

"There has got to be more to this. My uncle had a disguise trick, do you think he used it anywhere?"

Virgil shook his head, "no I don't think so," he sat down at the piano, "we would've noticed something."

Gordon suddenly leapt up, "oh shit!"

Grandma snarled, "Gordon Cooper Tracy! I don't want to hear language like that coming from you."

"Sorry, but I've just realised something. A young woman walked in with Casey and walked out again, but when Casey ran out with everyone this woman wasn't with them."

Scott sat back against the sofa, "are you serious? God, they're blind as well as stupid."

"That's a pretty harsh remark Scott," Virgil raised an eyebrow.

"I don't mean it like that, I'm just saying. What do we do about this though? Casey won't believe us, I think we should stop working with them. They fall for too much."

"They're very helpful to us Scott," Virgil sighed, "and you know it."

"Annoying that they missed a big detail like that," Scott looked up at the glass ceiling, "I just wonder what we're in for."

Kayo sighed, "it depends what my uncle has in store."

"We'll stop him sis, we always do," Alan grinned and Scott laughed.

"You never look at the negative do you?" Scott smiled.

Alan shrugged, "I do my best."

"How was the mission by the way Virgil?"

"Quite simple for us, not so easy for Lady Penelope I don't think, she had to deal with The Mechanic," Virgil played harder before bringing the music down to almost silent suddenly, "although that hoarse character was certainly a talker."

Gordon laughed, "pretty sure he lost his voice after we rescued him."

"He was a nice guy though," Virgil smiled, "very chatty, reminded me of you Gordon."

"I'm nothing like him!"

"You are a bit."

Scott rubbed Kayo's fingers under his, "what happened to him?"

"We got him to a hospital just to check he was ok then he went home, we went back to the GDF but they weren't much help."

Scott nodded, "why don't we get some sleep?"

"Oh please Scott, we all know you're going to stay up longer," Virgil smirked.

"It was just a suggestion."

Virgil shook his head with a laugh, "it's probably a good idea to be honest, goodnight guys," he pushed the stool out and stood up.

"Night Virgil," Scott smiled as Kayo cuddled up to him.

Gordon followed him, "I'm off, night guys."

Scott was left alone in the lounge with Kayo, he smiled down at her then frowned at her bruises on her knuckles from the workout, "K, you didn't need to lash out like that."

Kayo sighed, "I had to, I'm so mad at them Scott. My uncle was locked up tight yet they didn't see his tricks."

"I know."

"And what's worse, was that The Mechanic was working for him, he almost killed you, he almost killed Gordon and Virgil. I'm still ashamed to be of The Hood's relation."

Scott shook his head as he pulled her closer to him, "you can forget about him being related to you. You are a Tracy."

"But I'm not."

"You are to me."

Kayo looked up into his eyes, big blue eyes which seemed to be watering slightly? "Scott? Do you really see me as your family that much to call me a Tracy?"

"I love you Kayo, as a sister and more. You know that, don't put yourself down all the time. I want you to be safe, and with us is where you're the safest," Scott knew that saying that would cause the waterworks to start and he wiped at his eyes quickly.

"I love you too, but I want revenge. This time you have to let me have it, I'm going to get The Mechanic if it kills me."

Scott snapped angrily, "no, don't you dare risk your life like that, I can't lose you, the same way I can't lose my brothers."

Kayo stroked his cheek, "I need to stop him, that's my job. Yours is to rescue others, mine is to go undercover. Sweetheart, you've got to let me do this, it'll be safer."

"But, I need you."

"And you won't lose me," she kissed his lips tenderly, closing her eyes as she felt his part slightly and she broke it, "I promise."

Scott sighed as he rubbed her leg in between his, "alright. But you have to tell me exactly what your moves are, I don't want you going off the track."

"I won't, again, I promise you. I've changed since that time on the ice with one of my uncle's minions. I won't do any more fighting, only shadowing."

Scott smirked, "I wish I could believe you, I really could. Come on, let's get some sleep."

Kayo stood up and wrapped an arm around his waist, "what's the first move you think The Hood or The Mechanic will make?"

Scott shrugged, "I have no idea, I can't even say we'll be ready, unlike Virgil. We have to see what they're up to, it's likely The Mechanic will go after your uncle since he abandoned him, that or he'll be on the run."

Kayo nodded, "we just have to be observant and look for movement, peculiar movement."

Scott stopped outside his room, "want to join me tonight?"

Kayo smiled, "I wouldn't mind a cuddle before sleep." Scott opened the door, "come on in."
