Thunderbird-Shrapnel and pepsemaxke: Thank you my little sweeties for the reviews...ooh, twenty two now!


"SCOTT!"

The mixture of the banging door, the shout of his younger brother and the toppling out of bed in shock put Scott in a very mood when he fluttered his lashes open.

"What is going on? You're flying about like a bat out of Hell Virgil!" Gordon demanded, running in Scott's room after Virgil.

"Scott! Scott! Are you awake?" Virgil shouted, shaking his brother by his shoulders.

"I am now. If this is some kind of joke Virgil -," Scott warned, a banging headache already threatening.

"It's Sophia! She was...someone...someone stole her!" Virgil shouted at Scott.

"WHAT?" All three present Tracy boys shouted in unison, disbelief clear in their voices.

"We were on the beach talking, I got up to leave, as I neared the villa I heard her scream and someone was dragging her toward the sea! Then they disappeared!" Virgil explained frantically.

"WHAT?" They all shouted again. Virgil let out an annoyed groan.

"Sophia has been kidnapped!" He shouted loud and clear.

Scott pushed himself off the floor to look Virgil square in the eye.

"Who by?" He asked quietly.

"I don't know! It was over in a matter of seconds! What are we going to do?" Virgil shouted, panicky and flustered.

"We'll check the radar immediately; see what direction they're going. Then contact Dad," Scott said, his level headedness shining through even during the most horrible of situations.

"Right," Virgil said vaguely and even though he didn't quite register it, his feet began dragging him toward HQ.

The four brothers entered HQ led by Scott, who usually took charge when Jeff was away. Virgil was becoming increasingly light headed and sick feeling. Just last night, he was having the ultimate time and now it had all gone pear shaped before his eyes.

Scott sat down and viewed the radar, the red screen reflecting on his face. A small blip flashed, edging closer to the line of the radar, fast going to be lost.

"They're heading north," Scott said, furrowing his brow. "Why didn't this warn us when they first approached?"

Alan, who had been very quiet, looked at his older brother, hoping Scott would decide what they would do.

Scott flicked on a small monitor near his right hand and began to speak.

"Dad, come in Dad. It's Scott."

Silence. The brothers exchanged looks, each of their hearts beating a little harder against their ribcages.

"Scott?"

Their father's gruff Texan accent rang through the speaker, relieving the boys slightly. His face appeared on the monitor, a curious but stern expression etched on his face.

"Dad! We're in trouble Dad...someone has kidnapped Sophia. Right off the Island!" Scott explained urgently, feeling incredibly foolish for allowing it to happen. So much for Tracy Island security.

Jeff Tracy's expression changed to a mix of surprise and slight horror. Then anger.

"How did this happen Scott?" He thundered over the airwaves, his brow creasing into his usual frown.

"Talk to Virgil," Scott said, scooting out of the chair so Virgil could sit and explain.

"We were on the beach not ten minutes ago. I go to leave, hear her scream and someone's dragging her off. There's a blip on the radar, it's a sub Dad," Virgil explained quickly, desperately.

Jeff absorbed his son's expression and strained voice, he sounded truly worried for Sophia and this was from Virgil, his usually cold and uninviting son when it came to her.

"Right. I'm coming home. Call Tin-Tin, arrange for her to take charge of Thunderbird Five. We'll need everyone for this. I'll call Penelope. I know exactly what to do," Jeff replied in one long sigh.

"F A B Dad," Virgil replied flatly, feeling the most unfab anyone possibly could.

Jeff Tracy's face disappeared from the screen, replaced with fuzzy black and white snow.

Virgil Tracy turned to his brothers, looking up at them from his seat. All looked back at him, identical expressions on their faces. They were unsure. One of the very few occasions any Tracy was unsure about a danger situation.

"I'll phone through to Tin-Tin," Alan suggested. "She gave me an emergency contact number for when she's in Malaysia."

"Good, I'll take her up there," Gordon replied to his brother and the pair left the room, leaving Virgil and Scott alone.

"She'll be fine," Scott said, unsure whether he was reassuring Virgil or himself.

Virgil didn't reply. Couldn't reply.

"Gordon told me about you and her," Scott continued, looking at his brother with an unreadable expression on his face.

Virgil looked at him blankly, at a loss at what to say to his older brother.

"She'll be fine Virgil. Fine."

Virgil knew there was more on Scott's mind but he couldn't go down that road with him right now. All Virgil could do now was rely on his father.
