A/N: Ah, another chappie! -Sob- I couldn't upload this because of FFN's upgrades! Anyway, this still isn't really very interesting mainly because I'm really unsure about how they're going to escape from everything! I wrote the last chapter over the weekend after watching Thunderbirds on DVD for the hundreth time! I blame a wet Dominic Colenso in white swim shorts...sigh. I'm pleased with it, it's sweet!

Thanks to everyone who reviewed my last chapter...love to all!

In whole, thanks to her conversation with Scott, Sophia felt horrid. She felt sick and nervous and generally yuck.

It wasn't that she didn't like Virgil, she felt very strongly for him but she believed gossiping to his brother about it wasn't the correct approach even though Virgil seemed to think it was.

If she was going to tell anyone she loved Virgil then it would be Virgil himself who found out first. Logical, yes. Easy, yes.

Not for Scott Tracy who was now pulling random things from his small backpack and hopefully trying to formulate a plan with a face like thunder.

Sophia didn't know what to do with herself except stand there watching Scott work. She felt like a very spare tyre at the moment.

"Scott?" She tried feebly, unsure of what else to actually do. "Scott? Look, I'm sorry if I upset you. It didn't come out the way I wanted it to."

"It came out loud and clear," Scott replied, not looking up.

"No it didn't. Oh, Scott don't…" Sophia trailed off realising she was wasting her time. Scott wasn't happy and obviously cared for his brother much more than she had first thought.

Sophia had little more to do than just continue standing around and worrying about where Virgil was and if he was safe or not along with the others.

Most of all, she just wanted to go home. She really wasn't cut out for this sort of life.

"Brilliant Parker, as usual," Penelope said briskly, fixing her earring as the pair ran down the corridors that Sophia and Scott had previously haunted.

"Thank you M'lady," Parker puffed, finding it difficult to keep up with the lithe Lady Penelope after their escape.

"I do believe we might incorporate that new move into our everyday routine!"

"Certainly, m'lady," Parker replied, still huffing and puffing.

Of course, Parker and Penelope had performed a brilliant escape routine involving some serious aerobics, four different kinds of martial arts and even a small part of the fox trot but had left the Tracy's behind which was all part of their grand plan. If Sophia and Scott were loose and so were they then The Hood would be much busier in trying to locate the missing four to think much about the security of the Tracy's which would hopefully result in their escape too.

Of course, that was all in theory. Penelope just hoped she had made the right choice leaving Jeff to his own devices. It would be much harder looking for herself and Parker than the whole group of them anyway.

"Now to find Sophia and Scott before someone else finds them!" Penelope called to Parker.

"Yes your ladyship. Have you any idea where they might be?" Parker asked, drawing a blank himself.

"Not a clue," Penelope replied dryly, giving Parker a look. "I just hope Scott has enough sense about him to get out instead of trying to rescue us."

"If I might, M'lady, I think that ship sailed long ago," Parker replied.

"Agreed," Penelope sighed. She knew Scott Tracy all too well and she just knew he was formulating a grand plan this very moment.

"Your ladyship! Look!" Parker said suddenly, stopping in his tracks. "Speak of the devil."

Penelope looked in the direction to which Parker was pointing and saw Scott with his back to them standing at a turning in the hall. Her heart skipped a beat at the thought they had found him which meant very hopefully Sophia was with him and was safe.

Swiftly, Penelope ran down the corridor so silently Scott didn't hear her approach.

"Scott!" She hissed, making him jump and emit a small scream. "Hush!"

"Pen?!" Sophia cried quietly, her voice a mix of surprise and relief at the sight of her sister. They were saved!

"Pea!" Penelope cried and embraced her younger sister finally. Although they rarely saw eye to eye it was times like these Sophia really appreciated her older sister. But she would never admit that to her in a million years.

"Where's Dad? And my brothers?" Scott asked quickly.

"Still trapped by The Hood. The plan was for us to escape and cause as much havoc as possible which, in theory would give your father and brothers a better chance to escape," Penelope explained quietly, checking over her shoulder every few moments.

"Why didn't you all just escape together?" Sophia asked, slightly put out Virgil was still trapped. For a moment she thought she was going to see him finally.

"Because it's not as simple as that Pea," Penelope said patiently. Sophia raised her eyebrows in a 'OK, - I'll – just – stay – out – of – matters – then' way.

"Do you have a plan?" Penelope asked, turning her attention to Scott.

"Nope, not yet. I don't even know where they are being held," Scott replied. He felt frustrated with himself, usually he was the first to think up a plan and a brilliant one at that.

Sophia looked between the three at a complete loss. This was the reason she wanted to be an interior designer, not a secret agent.

"Well, what myself and Parker came up with is -,"

But Lady Penelope never got to finish her sentence because during the forty seconds she had let her guard down and stopped checking over her shoulder and as Scott, Parker and Sophia were all hidden behind the wall, no-one saw four men including Harry sneak up on Penelope and grab her.

Parker lunged forward at once in a bid to protect his lady but found himself over powered by the men. Scott was doing his best to fight off Harry but to no avail. They were captured.

Thinking a little too quicker than usual, Sophia had thrown herself into the nearby room she had been looking at a few minutes earlier when she had been sulking and Scott had been fiddling in his pack.

She had thrown herself to the end of the room and hidden behind some dusty and stinking drapes but she heard no-one come after her. Just silence.

After about five minutes of complete peace, Sophia braved and ventured from beyond the drape as she was unsure how much more of the stink she could take.

Sophia cracked open the door and looked up and down cautiously but was greeted by only Scott's supplies that were strewn across the floor. She clawed them inside the room and knelt on the floor beside them to inspect what she had.

Picking each one up in turn, Sophia decided she was completely and utterly buggered. She had no idea what this equipment was or how to use it. What she did know however was that she was very much alone and very much responsible for rescuing the Thunderbirds and her sister.

Brilliant.

This was fast turning into a holiday nightmare. Sophia had it in her mind that she would sit by the pool in the sun enjoying the view and doing little else.

"I suppose it's up to me," She sighed to herself. "And I thought Virgil was supposed to be rescuing me, not the other way round."
