Friends in high Places

"What's new pussy cat!"

John actually surprised himself when he said those magic words, and was so pleased with the confused look he had received from the Hood that he continued to enjoy this new skill. The only reason he was being cold and harsh was to help mask the advance of his brothers on the facility that the Hood held some of his family in.

"John Tracy, this is a side of you I have never seen before, if I didn't know you any better, I would think you were stalling!" said the Hood finally catching on at what John was doing.

"My bald friend, the fact is you don't know me, do you and what the hell would I know about stalling. I mean, I spend most of my life up here, all alone and read books, surf the net, eat, drink and be merry and apart from that I have hardly any human interaction so, I think your talking a load of crap!" He said starting to put some truth into what he was saying.

"Talking a load of crap about what John, you are not making any sense, which means you are stalling!" The Hood said this and signalled across to the young henchwoman Angelina who was standing by Transom.

"You're not going to kill my father or brother, because you're like a woman your all talk and no action!" he replied back, he was certainly running out of things to say.

"That's because you don't know the right woman Johnny boy!" Said Scott, as he was half dragged by Angelina to the side of the hood.

The Hood turned to face Scott and looked at him realising that he was still fairly drunk, and thinking maybe this was the worst time and way to be kidnapping a Tracy brother. Scott was obviously too drunk to get any sense out of, Jeff was the one in charge so maybe he shouldn't have captured him and he was beginning to feel that John was suffering from space dementure.

"Well maybe if I was not stuck up here all the time, when you keep going out on the razz, I would meet the right woman!" He said starting up an argument with his brother.

"Its your own fault you said 'I'll be fine in Thunderbird 5' and that you liked the stars, I just think its your way of disowning us!" Said Scott knowing what type of reply he would get.

"I didn't see anyone else volunteering to go up here, do you, I like to see how long you could last up here with out complaining and maybe I would get to fly around in that rocket of yours" said John knowing Scott was very protective of Thunderbird 1.

"It's not a rocket and you are not touching my baby!"

"I bet you love Thunderbird 1 more than you love me or woman for that fact!"

"I'll show you how much I love woman!" with that Scott grabbed Angelina who stood next to him and pressed his lips against hers.

Everyone in the room as well as John up in his Thunderbird stood in silence throughout the entire 2-minute embrace between Scott and Angelina.

"See."

"Just because you kiss a girl, doesn't mean you love her and I bet if you had to choose between your Thunderbird and your bird I know what would come first." He said feeling proud of his words. He noticed in the background his brothers had entered the room and started to round up some of the henchmen, so he knew he had to hold the hoods attention now more then ever.

"I think you don't know me as well as you should do, my dear brother"

"So if I was to fire upon Thunderbird 1 now you wouldn't mind, I think otherwise."

"I didn't know you could think well done Johnny boy, you get a gold star!"

"Stars aren't gold you nit wit, oh dear I seem to have a weapons lock on Thunderbird one." He smiled at the look of horror on his brother's face.

John could see that his brothers were now unlocking the cage in which his father and Scott's mates were being held. 'Weapons lock on Thunderbird 1' chimed the computer aboard Thunderbird 5; Scott's jaw dropped 'should I fire John?' asked the computer. John looked at his brother and was waiting for an apology.

"You wouldn't dare!" disbelief in what was going on already was seen in his face and heard in his voice.

John looked at his console and pressed a button 'Weapons fired!' John sat back and folded his arms waiting for Scott to start losing it.

"No you bastard, don't you dare. John I'm warning you stop it now!" Scott was turning red with every word.

"What are you gonna do about it, you know with out Thunderbird 1 your useless!"

"That's it!" Scott lost it; Angelina was thrown to the ground. Mullion tried to hold Scott back, but was knocked through a glass map that was in the room and he crashed down to the ground, Alan and Astin Tackled him and both were able to put him in the cage. Transom was about to go help when Gordon and Virgil attacked her from behind and tied her up and put her in to the cage and out of the way.

The Hood saw what was going on and threw Tommy clean across the room, while Jeff tried to tackle him from behind and was not successful, so he to was thrown across the room and fell on top of Tommy. Scott was attacking the view screen with John's image on it, as he had really lost his temper and possibly the plot.

Astin ran up and caught hold of Angelina who was just about to Tackle Scott, he pulled her across the room and she joined her fellow workers in the cage.

Virgil and Gordon went for the Hood but were both thrown in to the heap of good guys in the corner of the room which now was getting big, Tommy was feeling the worst of it being on the bottom of the pile.

John was finally able to get Scott to notice, what was going on in the room around and Scott decided to go for the Hood, the Hood motioned as if to throw him against the wall like he had done to the others. When nothing happened, he realised he was getting weak and was not able to stop Scott who was now heading toward him like a bat out of hell!
