Chapter eight.
Cant' face the music.
Set in Alan's point of view.
While two of my brothers lie unconscious in sickbay, my dad speaks via International Rescue communications system with one of our -former- agents.
-Molly, how could you! I don't' know what crimes you have committed so far with that guy, but you are dismissed for treason!
It's one thing to dismiss an employee, it's another thing fire an old childhood friend. Someone you have seen grow up, someone you grew up with.
Speaking of treason, poor Gordon! He hasn't even awaken yet. I let dad take care of firing agents and I'm going to take care of my brother. He needs me if he wakes up.
Scott is already in sickbay, looking after both of his kid brothers.
I listen to my mp3 player to help manage the pain. I have a collection of old rock tunes, all made last century. I like to listen to these tunes when I feel down, even if they make me feel even more sad.
Sure, I thought from the very beginning that Molly was just playing a game with Gordo. I saw that one coming.
Oh, am I kidding? No one of us saw that coming. I did'nt had a damn clue what was going on between Molly and Gordon, I just had a bad feeling about it. For a while, I even thought feelings were mutual between these two. I realize now that I was wrong. The morning of the première, I argued with Gordon but I was just upset about that publicity stunt thing. But quite frankly, can you expect anything else from someone in show-business?
Molly dumping Gordon, that's possible, but Molly trying to kill both Gordon and Virgil and joining th other side, that's another story! She tried to kill them, she told us herself that she and that guy she married remote controlled the Fireflash plane to crash in the ocean and the took control of Thunderbird two after the mission was completed. I cant' wait to see my brother alive again, but I just don't know how I will tell him that.
She's not only on the other guy's side, she's married to him. So that's where she got that ring…no wonder she acted so crazy when the reporters asked her where the ring came from!
Bitch…. I was right that morning, she really acted like a mean, merciless bitch for …quite a while. She was married to another man for months and made Gordon believe that he had a chance with her.
On the other bed, Virgil shows signs of life and wakes up. He was the most injured physically. He had a shock at the head and had second degree burns on his left leg.
He's hurt, but he woke up! He'll be okay!
I run to the lounge to tell dad that ol' Virg has woken up. Dad had have been arguing with Molly for like hours now and he barely notices that his second oldest son has awake.
Now, it's not Molly's face but a strange man's face that I see on the wall.
I know it doesn't looks like me but I just don't' want to see nor hear what they are saying. I had enough emotional rollercoaster for today and it's not time to crack up in front of everyone. I'm just like a kid that hears his parents fight. I clog my ears with my collection of old tunes so I cant' hear that.
My tea's gone cold
I'm wondering why
I got out of
bed at all
The morning rain clouds up my window..
and I can't see at all
And even if I could it'll all be gray,
but your picture on my wall
It reminds me, that it's not so bad,
it's not so bad…
" I want war!" That's the only phrase that I hear between two tunes. I had enough right now. I don't' want to hear anything else but music.
Just as I thought I could escape the reality, I hear the first sounds of a tune that makes me put myself in Gordon's shoes.
There´s a hole in my soul,
Yeah I should have known better
´Cause your love´s like a thorn without a rose
[…]
But one thing I´ve learned
For every love letter written
There´s another one burned
[…]
If it´s over, It is over
´Cause I'm blowin´ out the flame
Take a walk outside your mind
Tell me how it feels to be
The one who turns the knife inside of me
I stop the tune before it's even over and I go see Tin-tin in her room. She can't face the music either.
I still have the lyrics of the last tune in my head. That reminds me that Gordie probably loved Molly about as much as I love Tin-tin. I barely think and just hug her. I don't want to loose her like that. Damn! I love her.
…For every love letter written
There´s another one burned…
Why does it has to be like that? Why, Molly, why?
