Disclaimer: can't think of anything witty-ah well. If you haven't realised I don't own by this point I'm not talking to you anymore.
Ok folks. Chapter 7, and we're nearly at the end. Yay! I wish I could finish all my other stories this quick, but they're all so emotionally draining-but you know, I don't care. I'm getting a book published, and I have the entire Busted thunderbirds song in my head, and its all good. Apart from the fact that my first A-Level is in two weeks. You can't win 'em all so it seems
Anyway, I hope you enjoy this chapter, it's pretty long.
Btw, I've decided to be nice and post the last couple of chapters all at once-but you have to promise to review each one before moving to the next. Ok:)
Chapter 7Scott's phone rang. He fumbled for a moment in his pocket for it. He answered. "Any luck Virgil?"
"Nothing" came Virgil's tired voice. "you?"
"There were four bus's he could have taken between ten and twelve. If he took a bus he could be anywhere. Have you heard from dad?"
"Not a thing. Scott, it's nearly half four in the morning. Gordon's nearly dead on his feet. I think we should head home and wait for dad before we carry on."
Scott sighed. Alan had been dragging his feet tiredly for the last hour. "Ok, I'll meet you at the house, it'll take us about an hour getting back."
"Same here. We'll put the squirts to bed."
There was a "Hey!" in the background from Gordon.
"Yeah." Scott ruffled Alan's hair, causing him to look up. "See you in an hour." He hung up. "Come on Squirt, we're going home."
"Did Virgil and Gordo find Johnny?" Alan asked through a yawn.
"No, now stay awake for just a little longer. You're too heavy for me to carry. You can sleep when we get home." Scott said, turning and heading back towards home.
"But whatabout Johnny?" Alan asked, following Scott.
"We'll find him. We have to." Scott said, more to himself than to Alan.

The four brothers met up an hour later at the house. Gordon and Alan had fallen asleep on one sofa, while Scott and Virgil talked on the other.
"Scott, I don't get it. Where could he have gone?"
"I don't know Virge, I can't think of a single place-" he phone cut him off. He answered it. "Dad? Did you find him?"
"No. have you heard from Virgil?"
"We're all back at the house dad, Gordon and Alan were too tired to do any more searching." Scott sighed.
"Right, I'm coming home now. We can do a quick brainstorm, see if we can come up with anything, then you four can go to bed and I'll contact the police. I should be twenty minutes."
"Ok dad." Scott said and hung up, turning to Virgil. "Dad's coming home."

By quarter past six the three older Tracy's where trying to work out where John could possibly be, and were making no headway. Finally Jeff shook his head. "Ok boys, up to bed, you aren't going to school today. Go on, I'll call the police."
Scott nodded. "Ok dad." He said, though he knew he wouldn't sleep, or if he did it wouldn't be well. "Gordo, Alan, wake up. Come on up to bed."
Gordon and Alan muttered sleepily before getting up. Scott and Virgil hustled them out of the room when Gordon suddenly stopped.
"Stars." He muttered.
"What?" Alan asked tiredly.
"John likes stars-I was dreaming about running through stars and john was telling me what all their names were, but they were really confusing and I can't remember them, except they were star's. it was scary." Gordon explained.
It took a few moments before their sleep-deprived minds registered the most important part of that speech.
"John likes stars." Virgil said, looking at Scott.
"Where was it he said you could see the best view of the stars? Dad took us up there." Scott muttered.
They both looked at their father.
"The mountain viewpoint-why didn't I think of that!" boys into the car, we'll head up there. He's just got to be there."
The five Tracy's piled into the car and set off for the mountain view-top. It would take them about half an hour to get up there.
Yaha! They have finally worked it out! Go Gordon! Anywho. Just to say, they really are tired, it's not really their fault it takes them so long to figure things out. Hope you liked.
