A/N I have not had a chance to look at the reviews for chapter 3, as I wanted to get straight into this chapter and put it up as soon as I could! I did not want to leave you waiting to long.

Arashi no Baka how was the holiday?

Well are you all sitting comfortable and ready to find out what happens next? Then I will begin!

Friends in high places

BOOM!

THUD!

Jeff opened his eyes to see Pearl and a parachute sitting on his windscreen, he then blinked and shook his head as if to say he didn't believe what he was seeing. Pearl tapped on the window, smiled and waved at Jeff.

"Pearl, what the hell are you doing on my windscreen?" Exclaimed Jeff.

John, Scott, Alan, Virgil and Gordon all exhaled and opened their eyes, all John could see was a mass of colour on the Thermal imaging display and decided this was the perfect time to nip to the loo. Scott could see a mass of smoke and pieces of the fighter jet falling to the sea and he could also hear his father's voice on the radio so he knew all involved were alive and well. Alan, Virgil and Gordon could see a face against the window of Thunderbird 2 and they would have been dumb founded, shocked and silent if Tommy Pearl hadn't pressed his mouth against the window and started to pull faces at the boys.

"Hey Mr Tracey, I knew it was you as soon as I heard you say 'Son' to whoever was in Thunderbird 5." He began shouting through the window "Oh and then when I heard Scotty boy, I knew it was an all family business you had here and didn't want to give you away to the navy!"

"Lets get you inside then Tommy!" Said Jeff, with a hand on his head suppressing the headache he was going to get by seeing Tommy in person again.

A long way down, at the bottom of the sea.

A large display screen had shown smoke that was now beginning to dissipate and all the people gathered around, smiling at what they thought was a victory, began to frown at the sight of an untouched green aircraft still in one piece, and they all went back to their stations.

"So Juff you have escaped my little trap" This came from a tall bald man dressed in black with an oriental style kimono on. "But mark my words Juff, I will be back and I will lay more and more traps for you, and you will not have the back up of the airforce to save your lives." He finished his sentence and turned to a tall woman with buckteeth, thick rimmed glasses (much like the ones Brains wears) and long golden red hair, he waved his hand and she went over to the computer screen.

"A course for home sir?" she asked not looking away from the screen.

"No!" He said and paused to think. "Shadow the navy ship, I want to see where this friend of theirs comes from" he said as he swivelled in his chair and smiled a crooked smile.

"Of coarse sir! Course set." She said and plotted the coarse in on the computer and then smiled.

Back in the air.

"John, are you ok up there son?" asked Jeff as he had not heard a peep from John, since the missile had hit.

"Yes, I'm just waiting for the screen to clear so I can try and see that submarine for you." He replied having just got back from the loo.

"Can't you see anything yet?" said Alan still firmly gripping the harness while sitting in his seat. "All the smoke has cleared up, down here"

"It doesn't matter if its clear for you, as I am working on thermal imaging Alan, and there is still a lot of heat left there after the explosion, which means I see squat." He paused and then added Alan's nickname "Squirt." He said this all in an annoyed and all-knowing voice.

"He sounds a bit annoyed up there" said Tommy standing next to Alan who still hadn't moved from his seat.

"Yeah! Its that time of the month" butted in Gordon.

"Any more bad comments about your brother and it'll be you up there on the next shift" proclaimed Jeff knowing that being up in space on your own, not being able to see if everyone is ok and what was happening, was very stressful and frustrating on an individual.

"I still can't pick up the submarine on the imaging system it must have gone as soon as it fired the missile at you!" This came from John who checked the system a few times just to make sure. "Probably to make sure they were not in the firing path if it changed course"

"We need to let the navy vessel know that they can pick up the survivors and tow the ship back to the harbour." Began Jeff talking to Tommy "I'll get Scott to drop you back off at the airforce base and let you two catch up a little, once we are finished here." He said this as he knew Scott would want to talk to Tommy now that he knew someone else knew their identity it might be nice for him to talk about things he would not dare tell his father or brothers.

A/N I hope you liked the first 4 chapters. I will be writing more soon, but it may take a while, as I need to freshen up the brain. As you can see the story is not finished yet, Tommy and Scott have some catching up to do on the airforce base, which of coarse the hood is on his way to.

Please review and add any suggestions on character development and writing comments so I can improve on my ideas.

Rojeth Have I improved since the first chapter, your input was good but my writing has never been top notch. Might be the reason for so many low marks on essays and assignments for university.
