Scott pov.
"Colonel Casey, nice to see you," he said, leaning on dad's desk. "What do we owe the pleasure of this call?" He said smiling.
"Scott, it is good to see you too but unfortunately this isn't a social call" Colonel Casey Said.
He frowned, standing up straight now.
"Okay, what can we do to help?" He asked.
"Just gather your brothers, what I'm going to tell you, you all need to hear" Colonel Casey Said.
He frowned again, this sounds really serious.
"The GDF hosted a raid against an illegal laboratory last night," Colonel Casey Said, "and what we found last night was beyond horrific"
Okay? He thought rising his eyebrow….that did not sound good.
"Those people were doing all types of illegal experiments on human beings, most of them were kids," Colonel Casey said, a slight growl in her voice.
His eyes widen, those people were doing experiments on kids?! What the fuck?!
"Here a photo from last night to give you an idea how bad it was," Colonel said sounding and looking worn out, bring up a photo.
He took a step back, gasping, feeling slightly nauseous. Add to the fact that he's not normally one to get nauseous at grotesque sights, this was bad.
Gordon gagged, looking away. Virgil was as pale as a white sheet. John has his lips pressed tightly together.
The kids in the photo were missing limbs, eyes, noses, mouths…., they were huddled in small metal cages, Most of them were wearing what were basically dirty rags for clothes.
Most of them looked half dead.
"Most of them were either dead or very close to death, so many were deformed beyond recognition," Colonel Casey Said frowning, "though there were the lucky few that wasn't, but to say they're okay would be a big misconception"
"Why are you telling us this?" John inquired, frowning.
Colonel Casey sighed "because one of the kids fit the description of your missing brother almost perfectly"
His eyes widen as he collapsed down on to the couch, feeling like he just been punched in the gut.
What? Did he just hear that right? Alan….he looked up at the photo again and suddenly all he could see was his brother, dead. Because there was no way he was alive, they weren't that lucky.
"What?!" Gordon said, jumping up from where he was sitting. "What do you mean-"
"Gordon," Virgil said, putting his hand on Gordon's shoulder. "Colonel Casey, are you saying you found our brother?"
"Yes, I believe I have but I won't know for sure until one of you come and recognise him," Colonel Casey said. "I know this is a lot to take in, but I will need one of you to come as soon as you can"
"I'll do it," he said standing up, he wasn't going to let his brothers see something like that, if this was alan, he'll bring his body home to bury.
"Okay, I'll see you soon and I'm sure if this is your brother, seeing you would help him a whole lot," Colonel Casey said making him stop in his tracks and turn to face her hologram with wide-eyes.
"Wait are you saying he's alive?!" he asked.
Colonel Casey blinked, surprised "yes the kid that I'm talking about is one of the few that are alive, I'm sorry I should have made that more clear"
"okay….okay, I'll be there soon," he said, shell shocked. "thank you, Colonel Casey"
Thunderbird one touched down at the GDF base hospital.
He took a deep breath, he didn't know what to expect….when he woke up this morning he never expected to find out that…that his baby brother, the brother he lost was found alive… or may be found, they didn't know for sure if this kid was alan or not.
But he so hoped it was.
He met Colonel Casey as he dismounted from one.
"Scott, good to see you," Colonel Casey said greeting him.
"Likewise, Colonel," he said.
"so…how is he?" he asked as they walked down the hospital's corridors.
He knew for a fact that there was no way he could be okay, the kid was being experimented on, no one would be okay…if this really was alan, he won't be the same as he once was.
"The child is traumatized, he won't let anyone near him and he hasn't spoken a word," Colonel Casey said, "my medics haven't been able to have a proper look at him because of that, but from looks alone, he is very malnourished"
He frowned, he didn't like the sound of that.
"Hopefully you could do something about that" Colonel Casey said.
"I see what I can do," he said as they stopped at a door.
"He's in here," Colonel Casey said opening the door.
He took a deep breath, before stepping into the room.
He looked around the room before his eyes landed on a blue-eyed and blond-haired 8-year-old boy sitting in the corner of the room.
His eyes widen, he would recognise that kid anywhere…
"Allie" he gasped, tears gathering in his eyes.
Alan looked up, his eyes widening. "Sc-Sco-Scotty?"
"Oh allie…" he said, moving across the room, dropping to his knees, taking alan's face in his hands. "oh sweety…" he said before pulling alan into an embrace, openly crying.
he couldn't believe he had his baby brother in his arms, he never wants to let go.
"S-Sc-Scotty?" Alan said, his voice shaking.
Oh, how I missed that sound…
He pulled back slightly, alan still sitting on his lap. "Yeah, it's me sweetheart, it's me," he said smiling, leaning his forehead against Alan's forehead.
Alan's eyes fill with tears and a second later he had little arms wrap around his middle. "I mi-mi-mis-missed y-you" alan sobbed, crying into his chest.
"Oh I missed you too baby, I missed you so much," he said, kissing the top of Alan's head, wrapping his arms around alan. I'm never letting go again.
