Chapter 3:The Trap is Set

This story starts on a commercial plane headed towards the islands of the Bahamas. It was dark time and most of the passengers where asleep or headed towards the bathrooms. A Stewardess was walking each row see if anybody needed anything. Sitting in the back next to a window was a woman. She had bleach blonde hair up in a bun (same hair color as John Tracy), wears heavy set of glasses. She was typing on her laptop.

"Miss do you want anything from kitchen, soda, coffee, etc?" asked the Stewardess The woman looked up from the laptop and just said "No thanks" then the Stewardess headed back towards the kitchen.

About 2 hours later the plane landed in Paradise Island. The Blonde haired woman got off the plane and went to find a hotel room. About later she found one with a beautiful view of the ocean. She got in and locked the door. She grabbed her cellphone and checked her answer machine but no messages. She stirred at the clock it said 1:00 am but she couldn't sleep due to the time change plus she slept almost 2 hours up in the air earlier. So she decided to start looking for clues that might help find Professor Potter whereabouts. She left her room and hotel and started wondering where to look first then she notice a bar near by so she went in for a drink and maybe more. While siting on the stool shipping her drink, an other customer came in. Penny looked around and saw Transom standing there alone. She came and sits next to Penny not noticing who she was. After getting her drink from the bartender, Transom notices the woman next to her. "Hi I'm Transom and yours is?" having her hand out wanted to shake hands. Penny picked the first name that came to her. "Creighton Tracy" she took Transom's hands and shakes it. "Are you related to Jeff Tracy?" questioned Transom with her eyebrow raised. "No I not but I wish I could be with all that money"

Transom laughed " Who wouldn't with all that money I can go retire at a early age."

Both women talked for awhile. Transom whom had 6 drinks, was totally drunk not knowing what she going to say

"I work for this brilliant evil genius, his plan is to destroy the stupid Thunderbirds and get his revenge for what Jeff Tracy and his sons did to him"

Transom started speaking again

She looked at Penny and spoke:

"My boss is looking for some minions and you look like you can make it so why don't you try out?" transom asked as she finished her 6th drink.

"When, where, and time" said Penny

Transom smiled "Tomorrow night at 10, down at the beach near the Paradise Cove. Transom slowly got up from her chair. "I got to go before I get in trouble" then slowly she walked out the door and she was gone.

"Sounds like a trap to me" Penny said to herself as she walks outside the bar. She have to call Jeff and tell him about it. As she walked back to her hotel room, she didn't notice two figures following her. "She fell for the trap sir" said the female figure into a hand held rocky talkie. "Good now let her enjoy this night for this is her last" said the familiar male voice

Penny called Jeff as soon as she got into her hotel room

"I don't know Penny, I thought the Hood was in jail" said Jeff on the screen of her computer. "That want I heard from Transom and maybe he's the one who kidnapped Professor Potter" she said as she paced the floor.

"That's why I'm here in the first place, Jeff"

"You look tired, you need sleep" said Jeff watching her pace up and down.

"Your right" said Penny as she smiled down at Jeff

Jeff got up the courage and finally spoke:

"When you get back I was wondering if you wanted to have a dinner with me here on the island just the two of us?"

He sighed finally it all came out

Penny just smiled

"Ok"

Jeff looked at her and smiled

"It's a date," he said as she sat down on her bed

"Good night Penny" he said as he turned off the computer screen at his end. Penny got up and turned off her laptop, locked the door, and hop into bed.
