Sorry for taking so long guys I have just been run off my feet with
college.
I'd like to dedicate this chapter to all the British and the American
soldiers in Iraq, I have friends out there from England and I just want to
say I'm behind them and I support them. It seems like we are doing so
little compared to them. I just want to say God Bless them and God bless
those who died and their families, you're all heroes.
Well back to the story, where were we? Oh yes...Gordon was a bit mad with his dad (understatement of the century). Enjoy it as always I appreciate your comments.

Jeff sat staring stonily out of the window of Penelope's pink Cadillac as they sped towards the airport, his mind whirring. John's words still rang in his head as he struggled to suppress the panic growing inside him, 'He said he had an affair, that he cheated on mom, that that's what caused her death.' It killed Jeff that the Hood could twist his sons' minds like that. He would never have cheated on Lucille, Jeff barely noticed his nails digging into the flesh of his palm. What he was having trouble working out was how Gordon could claim to remember his 'supposed' affair. Jeff wasn't sure where that had come from, but he had a strong suspicion that his second youngest was in serious danger, that they all were.
Running a hand through his thick grey hair as the wind blew it into his eyes, he turned to Penny.
'Can't you go any faster Penny?' he asked knowing full well they were already pushing 85 mph. 'I knew I should have driven.'
Penny looked pointedly at him, her perfect mouth narrowing into a line, 'Jeff you know I couldn't let you drive, we would have been killed with the mood you're in and you also know that if we were stopped by the police we would be no help to the boys.'
Jeff sighed, 'I'm sorry Penny' he said 'I guess I'm just wound too tight over this.'
'That's quite alright Jeff, I'm worried about the boys too, we'll be at the airport soon and then as soon as we get to America by Concorde, we can get a heli-jet to the island.'
'Alright Penny' Jeff answered sombrely, his parental feelings on overdrive, 'I just hope we get there in time to help the boys.'

John tried unsuccessfully for the 28th time in the last 20 minutes to contact his brothers.
'John calling Scott, come in?'
No answer
'John calling Virg, hello?'
Static
'John calling Gordo, come on guys?
Nothing
John was getting increasingly frustrated, 'ALAN!' He couldn't get through to their communicators, or home.
'Dad?' he said through Penny's communicator which was now on Jeff's wrist, 'I can't get through to anyone.'
'Alright son' Jeff's voice answered. 'You'll just have to sit tight, there's nothing you can do from there.'
John threw up his hands in annoyance, this was an argument he'd heard one too many times, on missions, problems at home and now when International Rescue was facing its biggest threat ever.
'Well' he said to himself, 'I'll be damned if I sit here and do nothing'.
Disconnecting from his father, he put through the call that would get him back to earth and his home faster than his father. Knowing it would piss his father off, John took a deep breath before speaking, never one to bail on his brothers, he frowned and then spoke into the communicator.
'International Rescue calling NASA.....'

Scott turned to Gordon in horror as his younger brother aimed the gun at his father's head.
'What are you doing?' he asked in shock.
'Putting an end to all our problems.' Gordon answered as if he was talking about some plant that needed to be weeded.
'Gordo, come on , just calm down.' Virgil said his eyes wide in disbelief and worry, however it wasn't the gun that was worrying him but the fact that his little brother didn't look like he needed to calm down at all, in fact he looked completed emotionless.
'I don't need to calm down Virgil' Gordon answered , his voice devoid of any emotion, and Virgil feared his brother was right.
Alan stared wildly from his brother to his father, breathing rapidly, 'Look Gordy,' he said softly, placing a hand on his brother's arm , 'don't do this, put the gun down.'
Gordon flinched at Alan's touch and turned to look at him, as he wavered, the Hood preyed on the momentary distraction and grabbed the gun from Gordon's hand. 'I am evil, remember that, I am your father and I am evil' he mentally told the red-headed Tracy.
The other Tracys had no time to react as the Hood grabbed the gun and spun it to face them, aiming it squarely at Gordon's head , at point blank range. Scott and Virgil, protective brotherly instincts aroused, immediately reached for Gordon, they took an arm each and pulled him back away from the gun till all four Tracys stood in a line.
The Hoods eyes began to glow as he trained the gun on Jeff Tracy's sons and watched as they finally realised who he was, 'now' he said in satisfaction, 'the fun really begins!'

Woooooooooooooooo
So,
WILL JEFF GET BACK TO THE HOUSE IN TIME TO STOP HIS NEMESIS?
CAN JOHN SAVE HIS BROTHERS?
WILL THE HOOD HAVE HIS FINAL REVENGE?
WILL GORDON REALISE WHAT'S GOING ON?
WILL THIS AUTHOR TAKE AGES TO UPDATE?
Well the answers, not this time to the last question but find out the answers to the others in the next part of 'It's All in the Mind.'
