A/N. I apologise for the delay between chapters, but I have been busy.
Birthday's, sci-fi conventions and also my graduation ceremony. My limited time on the computer got cut down to nothing recently when it packed in.
I hope you like the next instalment, I'm not sure what will happen due to the fact I'm feeling slightly depressed at the moment and can't shift into a good or light mood yet! Maybe if I read through all my reviews they might cheer me up! Well till the next time!
Friends in high Places
Y Y Yes John, I do.
Jeff stood at the agreed meeting place and was looking around; he was also fidgeting as he waited. Out of all the things in the world that he feared, the loss of another loved one would be the worst and most damaging to happen to him. Scott was the one who helped him through the hard times and helped in bringing up his other sons, all of the boys looked up to Scott and he thought he would probably be the same again if anything happened to him.
John knew exactly what his dad was thinking, as he out of all of the Tracy boys saw the connection formed between Scott and his dad, he saw how Scott grew up in a very short time and looked after his brothers and Father. John knew that his dad and the whole family in fact, would not be the same close family they are today without the commitment Scott gave to his family and dad that made them what they are.
Brains did exactly as John told him to, as he knew that Jeff was not in the position to be giving out orders and the next usually in command was Scott who obviously was not there to be giving out the orders, well naturally John was the next inline. Brains was aware of the fact John rarely took command of situations and that was due to the fact that he was either in Thunderbird 5 or that Jeff, Scott or even both of them were always around to take command of the situation.
John noticed a few heat patterns closing in on his father's position, he watched carefully and made sure he knew how many there were and from which direction they came in. He kept a close eye on his father and was ready to update the others, but he would not say anything too soon, as he knew how edgy his brothers could get especially when both their father and Scott were concerned.
Jeff stood looking at the Hood Square on, he stood in a tall and wide stance, which showed, he meant business and would do what ever he could for his son. The hood has Mullion and a slender henchwoman at his sides, they were both looking for something to do as they were trained to do damage and not stand around like dolls or statues, like they did happen to do for most of their days. The only difference with this henchwoman was that she actually looked like she had a brain cell, this meant she was more likely to be a problem then the usual henchman or woman would be.
Back in the cell
"Scott mate!" said Tommy.
"What?" replied Scott in a frustrated voice, he was not really frustrated with Tommy he was actually frustrated with the water bottle in his hand.
"What's it like being you?" Asked Tommy in a deep but curious voice.
"Fun, exciting, challenging and dangerous and sometimes all at once." He replied knowing exactly what he meant, but probably confusing his old flight buddy.
"OK!" replied Tommy not quite knowing what Scott meant, but he knew that in Scott's state he should not ask for an explanation, as this would only confuse him even more.
"Tommy, mate" said Scott.
"Yeah" he replied.
"What's it like being, you know, how is things, with, well, are you bored with out me around?" Finished Scott as he finally remembered what he had set out to say.
Tommy turned to look at his old buddy and almost jumped out of his skin when he saw Scott was looking straight at him wide eyed, as if they were about to have a staring match. "Well life was boring for a while, then I realised that I didn't need you to have fun, I just needed alcohol!" He said as he still had Scott staring at him.
Scott looked at his plate of mush and noticed that there was knife on the plate, he picked it up and moved a little closer to the bars. He looked around to see if anyone was looking and then he begun to saw the bars with the knife, he was still way too drunk to realise that the knife would have no real effect on the bars.
Tommy and Scott both looked up from what they were doing, when they saw the Hood re-enter the room, with Jeff Tracy in tow. Jeff was almost thrown into the cell by the Henchwoman who threw a smile across to Scott; he smiled back at her making her cheeks go a warm colour. She closed and locked the door to the cell and walked over to a chair and put her lab coat back on, she then walked over to transom and went about her work again.
Jeff looked at the three boy's in the cell and saw Astin was asleep, Tommy was attempting to eat the slop laid in front of him and Scott was sitting very close to the bars. He stared for a second and then stepped backwards. "You're all pissed aren't you?" he said in a load and very disappointed voice.
Up in Thunderbird 5
Brains told John a message was coming through from the hood and told him to route it through to him so that he could relay a message to the others from the other view screen he had available.
"Hello, as you may know by now I have your brother Scott, two of his companions and your Father!" Said the Hood looking rather pleased.
"What do you want a medal!" exclaimed John knowing he was the one in charge and he had to gain control of the situation.
"Well!" the Hood said he paused as he thought about the fact that he had the two arrogant Tracy men in his possession, he was not expecting that reply especially from John Tracy he thought John was the sensible one in the family.
"Come on I haven't got all day here you know! Well actually I do but that's not the point." He said trying to be more heartless than his father or brother would have been to make it look like he was the one in control of the whole situation.
"I want control of the whole Thunderbird facility!" exclaimed the Hood.
"What do you expect me to do about it, I'm stuck up here and get left out all the time, so I can't help you! Sorry my bald dude!" John turned of the communication and spoke to his brothers for a minute while he let the hood think that he really didn't care.
He told his brothers the exact location of the building that the Hood was in and gave them orders as quick as he could as the communication was bleeping, letting John know the hood was trying to get through again.
John switched the communication on again and decided to speak before the hood had a chance to. "What you again, what do you want?" He then stared at the screen with a hard look he had seen Scott use before.
"I want control of the Thunderbirds or I will kill your brother and your father John!" Said the Hood looking sternly back through the screen.
"I tell you what, Hood. You grow some and then I'll talk to ya!" John again turned the communication off and wiped his forehead, being cold was really hard work and he did not know how long he could keep it up for.
"Boys how are you doing? I am running out of nasty things to say and I don't know if the hood is actually buying this heartless routine of mine?" He said.
"I so wish I was there to see the look on his face! John I envy you man!" Said Alan knowing how it made him smile to make the bad guys squirm.
"We are just about to enter the building now john so we need you to hold on for a bit longer and not to communicate with us for a while!" Said Virgil.
"Ok guys be careful and I'll see you in a while!" He said hoping that he would see them in a while.
John sat down and held in his hand a newly warmed up cup of tea, he switched on the bleeping communications button and stared at the Hood. He smiled as he had a strange idea on how to throw the Hood's attention of balance "What's new pussy cat whaaaooo whaaaooo wwhhaaaooo!" he sung this in his best Tom Jones voice.
