Chapter 6

"Thunder Bird 3 to Thunder Bird 5 do you copy? Are we clear for docking?" Virgil asked as Thunder Bird 3 approached Thunder Bird 5 for the docking procedures.

"You are clear for docking, all procedures are ready. I am ready when you are. I am putting Thunder Bird 5 in auto mode as we speak." John replied as he put every thing into order.

Thunder Bird 3 positioned it's self and docked with Thunder Bird 5. Virgil and David powered down Thunder Bird 3 and entered Thunder Bird 5, only to be greeted by John.

"Help me get some things and we will be on our way back home. I don't know about you guys, but I can't wait to see Panda, I have missed her so much." John said to his Brother and friend.

"I agree with you there John, I can't wait to see Panda. I think dad is about to lose his mind now, wait I think everyone is about to lose their minds. I just don't want to lose her again. Do you remember the pictures The Hood sent dad, when he found out that we didn't die?" Virgil asked

John stood there remembering the horrible pictures The Hood had sent to them. Amanda had just been beaten and battered, her face was so bruised that they barely even recognized her. He had cut her hair nearly knee length hair to just above her ears. Her blond hair didn't even look blond; it looked like a mass of dried blood and dirt, but the scar that was on her right arm told them that it was her. She had fallen out of a tree and had busted her arm in three places. Brains had to stitch the long gash, but he couldn't help the scar.

Flashback

It was midmorning and Fermat had just come back with the mail. We all rushed to the mail to see if we received news on our little sister. The mail was lifted away just in time by our father, we all came to a halt and waited with earnest. Jeff looked thought the mail and pulled out a package that was addressed to the Tracy Family. Dad looked at us and opened the package and pulled out a DVD recording. He put the DVD in the player and turned the T.V. on.

"Good Morning Jeff, Boys. I have a little some thing I would like to show you." The Hood smiling form said as the DVD started to play.

The picture changed from The Hood to a man with a mean looking face, and a young girl sitting in a chair. The girl looked like she had been through hell and back again.

"That is Amanda, your little girl, she has not been following the rules so we are punishing her, for her bad behavior." The Hood said with a grin that would have sent Hades running.

Just after that the video cut off; there was no more.

"Damn it, why is he doing this to Amanda? She did nothing to him." Scott swore.

Virgil just hung his head and cried along with Gordon, they couldn't take it any more. They just couldn't.

I looked at my father and saw him crying as well. I knew this would be hard for him. To watch as his only daughter beaten in front of him, I couldn't take it anymore either. I walked out and went to my room, I walked to my bed and fell onto it and cried, I cried for all it was worth.

End Flashback

"John are you alright?" asked David

"Yeah I was just remembering something, but right now there is no time for memories. Let's go so we can met up with the others." John said as they prepared to leave Thunder Bird 5.

Both Virgil and David nodded their agreement and grabbed what they needed and loaded it on Thunder Bird 3.

"Thunder Bird 3 is now initiating separation from Thunder Bird 5 in 5.4.3.2.1 separation complete. We are now returning to base, are ETA is 2 hours." David said as he took control of Thunder Bird 3.

"Base this is Thunder Bird 3 do you copy?" Virgil called.

"This is base we read you. What is your ETA?" Jeff asked as he monitored the progress of Thunder Bird 3

"Just under 2 hours sir. Be ready when we get there Dad." John said.

"FAB son."

At St. Paul's Hospital

Gordon was now pacing back and forth in the waiting room, Scott had been in there for over an hour and he was getting worried. How he had missed his sister. Without her it was like missing half of himself. Their Dad had always said they were like two peas in a pod.

'God how I missed her, I hope she's all right. God don't let any thing happen to her, I'll do any thing.' Gordon's mind cried.

Lucy watched as Gordon paced around the waiting room, she had to do something to calm him down.

"Hey, Gordon right? What was your sister like, before she lost her memory and was kidnapped?" Lucy asked. 'This just has to take his mind off of worrying'

Gordon looked at Lucy and thought for a minute, then sat down in a seat next to her.

"She is a lot like me, we like to play jokes on everyone and swim, and she also likes to go really fast. I remember Scott taking her and me to a go-cart park, we raced and I lost every time. She was a speed daemon, probably still is. God how I missed her, it's been 2 whole years since she was taken from us. It was just a stroke of luck that we found her now, and I thank you so much." Gordon replied.

Amanda's Hospital Room

Scott looked at Amanda and sighed, they finally found her. It was over, the endless searching, crying, blaming. They finally had her back and no one was going to take her from them again, not as long has he was around.

Scott looked up at Gordon as he came into Amanda's room. He watched as Gordon sat at the other side of Amanda's bed and took her hand in his. Scott watched as Gordon laid his head next to her side, Gordon soon fell asleep like that.

'He's going to have one hell of a stiff neck, and a backache. He looks so happy that his little monster of a partner is back. God I hope she remembers us.' Scott told himself.

Lucy walked in to find Scott and Gordon sleeping next to Amanda, both were holding Amanda's hands. Lucy turned and caught one of the nurses and asked for two spare blankets. Then nurse nodded and gave her some off of a nearby gurney, then continued on his way. Lucy put both of the blankets on Scott and Gordon, she smiled then went outside to the waiting room to wait for the rest of their family to arrive. Gordon had told her that there were 2 other brothers and their Father, and that their last name was Tracy.

Tracy Island 2 hours later

"Mr. Tracy, Thunder Bird 3 is coming in for landing procedures. Putting up cloaking device, and opening Thunder Bird 3's silo." Brains notified Jeff.

"Good Brains go get Fermat ready in Tracy one. I will finish everything here and get the boys to Tracy one. I'll tell Kyrano to watch the Island for me. Let's hope that the world doesn't need saving right at this moment." Jeff told brains and then sat down at the bases control center,

In the silo Thunderbird three landed with a hiss as the outside of the craft continued to cool itself off. The craft's re-entry had been quick, the anticipation the three pilots felt was reflected in the way they handled the large craft. Once all the post flight checks were complete and the craft was powered down the three boys quickly climbed off the craft and rushed into the house. With a quick greeting the boys ran to their rooms with the intent of dawning civilian clothes. For anyone to find out the Tracy family was the Thunderbirds would bring more trouble than the family was willing to deal with. They had enough on their plates already.

After changing the three boys met Jeff in the lounge, then the four of them quickly made their way to Tracy one. The boarded the small family plane and strapped them-selves in ready to begin the three hour flight. The energy inside of the plane was hard to describe, it almost seemed like following the rainbow to the pot of gold at the end.

"Kyrano, this is Tracy one we are ready for take off. Are we clear?" Virgil asked.

"Yes sir, you are all air ways are clear and safe. Have a safe flight and tell Miss Amanda I said hello." Kyrano replied.

"FAB" everyone replied.
