Craig Killborn was a master theif,and he knew that Lady Penelope's mansion would have tight security, but these were the best alarm systems he ever tackled. However after 3 hours work he finally cracked open the floor safe and headed down to see the famous Craighton-Ward jewel collection. It was better the he ever could have dreamed.

"There must be 4 million dollars of jewelry here!" he proclaimed to himself,"and its all mine!"

John Tracy smiled to himself as FAB 1 pulled back into the garage after his sightseeing tour. He had been having the most wonderful time in town but was glad to get to the mansion and relax again. Even though his home on Tracy Island was magnificent he hardly got to enjoy it as he always had to go back and forth to Thunderbird 5, and with his family there privacy was pretty much a dream. John smiled again though because he had 6 more days of privacy and pampering to go before his return to duty. He eased into a comfy lookin chair beside lady Penelope's pool. He eyed Penelope as she walked towards her chair on the opposite side of the pool.He noticed every curve in her body, he couldnt help but notice the quite revealing bathing suit she wore, his fantasies began running wild........

BANG

The sound made John and Penelope jump out of their seats. "What's going on?" John asked Penelope. "I don't know but I intend to find out." John followed her back into the mansion as she scanned every room. As they passed by the safe room Penelope gasped and John turned to see Parker laying face down in a pool of blood. John's reflex from years of training kicked in as he dashed to Parker's side to save him. He turned Parker over to size up his injuries.."Chest wound..not good.. come on Tracy stay focused.. stop the bleeding.." AAAAAHHHHHH!! John turned to see what had made Penelope scream, but when he did his heart sank. A lone man in a black coat stood behind Penny with a gun to her head.

"All right blondie on your feet come on."

John obediantly stood up and followed the thief, he wanted to activate his watch communicator but the opportunity never came with the theif so close by.

"O.K. heres your stop," the crook said pointing into the cellar, "hope ya have a nice time." He shoved John and Penelope into the cellar, and slammed and locked the door shut. John pulled his watch to his face to call for help but stopped short when he heard a noise. Some liquid being poured down the steps they had been forced in here on. A very familiar smell wafted into John's nose.

"Thats gas!!" "Oh John, whatever are we.....

Penelope never finished the sentance as it all went up in flames. Smoke started filling the room.

"Calling International Rescue......"
