A/N. Well hello people, I start by giving you a HUGE APOLOGY in the delay between chapters, as I know a few of you have been waiting to see what happens. I have had a lot going on over the past few months and I have not had the time or the energy to be able to have done the chapter well at that time. I have had a lot going on at home so have been strapped for time and also if i had time i have been too depressed to keep the lightheartedness of the story the same!

Friends in high Places

"Like a bat out of hell!"

As Scott hit the Hood, they both flew across the room and the Hood hit his head as they landed on the floor, the Hood was knocked out as Scott still in a drunken state laid into him.

Jeff had to pull Scott off of the hood and was having a little trouble, so he called Virgil over to help him as well and after a lot of pulling force they eventually got Scott away from the battered mess that would normally be the Hood.

Gordon walked over the screen were he could see his brother, john had a bemused and happy look on his face.

"Are you enjoying yourself Bro?" asked Gordon.

"Ah, No not really! Television is broke so I have to keep myself occupied, you know the drill!" answered John.

"I am gonna get you, you know that don't you John!" hollered Scott from across the room.

"Well what ya gonna do? I'm up here and you are down there!" John said this with a smile on his face, as he knew the next chance Scott would have to get up there, he would be sober and calmer.

"John don't taunt your brother when he is in this state!" said Jeff.

"Sorry dad I'm just soooo, bored up here!" he replied.

"I know how you feel bro I get bored when I am up there!" said Gordon.

"You are up here at the most 2 hours when you drop me off or are swapping me and someone else over!" Said John.

"Well that's enough for me bro." Said Gordon with a cheeky grin.

"Figures, I always thought you were the boring one, who couldn't read books or do anything constructive!" It was Johns turn for the cheeky grin.

"Oh really, John the reason you spend so much time up there is you are afraid to socialise with normal people." Said Gordon.

"Ha, you just called yourself abnormal!" John sat there laughing to himself, getting louder and louder as time passed by.

"No that is not what I meant!" He grew inpatient as he saw John laugh. "Dad he's twisting my words again!"

"John pack it in! Don't make me come and get you!" Jef said this with half a smile on his face as he knew John did not have the chance very often to get one better than the others.

"Sorry Dad!" John sat back and took a bite of his snack bar!

Jeff looked around the room, trying to figure out what he could do, he turned to each one of his sons looking for an idea to spark from one of their eyes. Suddenly he stopped at John as he saw John still was in hyper and mischievous mood, he smiled and went over to find out what his son had planned.

So he gathered up the sober and useful sons he had and set about this plan of Johns. When they had finished he decided that it would be best for Tommy and Astin to come home with them. Jeff wanted to debrief them when they were sober and able to remember things as well as have the ability to stand up, which none of the three intoxicated ones could do at the moment. Jeff also decided to take anything considered useful from the Hood so that a thing like this could never happen again.

Back on Tracy Island

Jeff, Gordon, Virgil, Alan and Brains sat in the kitchen eating a lovely fry up that had been set out for them; Scott wandered in and began to eat with them. Scott looked at his brothers as they looked at him he had no idea what they were looking at.

"What? Is there something wrong with my hair?" he said.

"Do you remember anything about last night?" asked Gordon.

"No, so it must have been a good night, reminds me of the days when I was in the force, I would go out for a drink and then wake up with some one next to me!" He said with a smile.

"Alan can you wake up our guests and let them know breakfast is ready!" said Jeff.

"Sure Dad!" he replied and skipped out of the room.

"What guest's?" Scott paused and then thought of something that was bothering him. "How did I get home last night?"

"Long story son, I will wait until our guests are with you and I will fill you all in on the 'fun' you had last night!" Replied Jeff.

Astin and Tommy arrived in the room looking a lot worse than Scott did; Scott always had a habit of not suffering from hangovers. Tommy looked at the fry up and turned around ready to walk out the room but was stopped by look of amusement from Scott's younger brother and wanted to show he was strong as he was after all in the air force. Astin just stood there wandering who the hell these people were and what he was doing in this strange place, the last thing he remembered was looking at a nice pair of legs.

Jeff gathered them all together and started to fill them in on what they all obviously could not remember from the night before. Scott had flashes of beating up the hood and wanting to kick the crap out of John so got a little confused, Alan had to explain and clear things up for him. Astin could not get the picture of a lovely pair of legs out of his head and Tommy; well he remembers a very shiny head and lots of people dressed in black but hardly anything else. The only question left on Scott's lips when they had finished the debriefing was a simple question.

"What happened to the Hood and his little band of un-merry men?"

A/N. Ok I have only one more chapter left after this one and I will have to give my fan-fic's a rest for a while as I am finding it difficult to get time to write them!

I thank all of you who have read and reviewed my fic's and hope you like this chapter as well as the next and last one.
