Chapter 3

"Hello Thunder Birds, it looks to me that you are in a very dangerous situation." The Hood said

"Who are you and what are you doing in my house?" Jeff demanded.

"Oh don't worry about your house; you should be more worried about your lives. You can call me The Hood."

"What do you want, and why are you doing this? Are you the reason Thunderbird 5 was hit? I knew it wasn't an accident." Jeff said, the anger dripping off of every word he spoke.

"Yes I am the one responsible for the attack on your precious Thunderbird 5; it didn't take you very long to figure that out. It appears you are smarter than you look." The Hood said with a smile.

"Why are you doing this?" Jeff asked

The Hood continued to smile for a moment before he broke the silence. "There was a very dangerous mission in a mine a few years ago, you thunderbirds showed up to save the day, but you missed something, that day you saved everyone, but me. You even saved my dear brother, Kyrano, so now I'm back to repay the favor, I want your family to feel the same pain that I did. Transom turn up the heat a little, make them sweat." The hood said with an evil gleam in his eyes.

Jeff stood there looking at the man that easily hit Thunder Bird 5 and than invaded his home. He said that he wanted them to feel the same pain he did, but what is he going to do now.

"Dad what are we going to do we can't help the others if we are stuck up here. Do you think they're hiding?" Scott asked in a very low voice, but not low enough The Hood heard them.

"So there are more people on this Island than just the one child? Thank you for that piece of interpreting and very useful information boy." The Hood said.

"What child are you talking about Hood?" Virgil exploded over the com-link.

"Mullion, wake the girl up. I believe her family would like to speak with her." The hood said as he turned away from the screen to face the angry looking man behind him

"With pleasure sir." The man said as he walked to the unconscious child on the floor. "Get up you stupid girl." He said as he kicked her prone body with one of his solid boots. When he grew tired of kicking her he through several punches at her now bruised and battered body, finally with a soft moan Amanda's eyes snapped open. Mullion reached down and hauled the poor girl to her feet.

"Amanda are you ok? If you lay one more filthy hand on her I swear that I am going to kill you!" Scott ground out between clenched teeth.

"Amanda, baby are you ok, where are the others?" Jeff asked as worry and fear for his youngest child and only daughter fought to take over his body.

"Yeah dad, I'm fine. I'm the only one here. Everyone else managed to get off of the island before these jackasses showed up and ruined the day." Amanda said with a hint of pained laughter.

"That is all fine. I have what I came here for anyway." The Hood said with another evil smile. "I finally have you, Jeff Tracy World renowned Astronaut, and leader of The Thunderbirds. I am going to make you suffer more than you can ever know. Not only are you stuck up there, powerless to help your precious daughter; you will also be forced to loose something while you are up there. I will take her from you, but I will not kill her." The Hood paused to savor the reaction of the Tracy men before he continued, "In a few moments your child will no longer know who you are. She will be mine. I will take her and raise her as my own, and you will be forced to live out your final days watching her world crumble and be rebuilt to hate everything that you have created." The Hood laughed as Jeff and his sons broke into a chorus of pleas and curses.

"Give me back my sister you asshole. Why are so hell bent on being a jackass. Let my sister go and leave my family alone. Leave her alone damn it!" Gordon yelled at The Hood the anger finally taking over as he stared at his sister. Her calm collected face almost frightening.

"Do you have anything you wish to say to your family?" The Hood asked as Mullion forced Amanda closer to the mad man who held her and her family hostage.

Amanda smiled as she stared at the faces of her father and brothers. "I love you guys. I know that you will find a way to beat him dad. I'm not afraid. I know that you will help me, you always have, so don't lose faith and keep safe." Amanda said, her smile never wavering.

"I think that is enough talk for now, Jeff, boys say goodbye to your sister." The Hood said as he drew out a needle filled with a mysterious black liquid from his robes and sunk it into her neck. Within seconds the needle was empty, the liquid surging through her body. Soon after the needle was taken out of her neck Amanda closed her eyes and began to sway violently, then she collapsed in an unconscious heap, her memories being erased as she slept.

AN: Ok people I need a vote on what is going to happen to Amanda. Is she really going to lose her memory for good, or do you think she should have a temporary memory block. I am having a hard time thinking up what to do.
