Chapter 4: Return of the Hood

The next morning, Penny e-mailed her boss and told him everything she heard from Transom last night. She going undercover tonight to find out what the Hood is up to and maybe find some clues to whereabouts of Professor Potter. She had lots of time on her hands so she went touring around Paradise Islands. She swims in the clear beautiful ocean, snorkeled, Windsurfing, took a tour, took lots of pictures and keeps an eye out of anything of the hood or Transom.

She came back to her room around 7 to freshing up and grabbed a bite to eat. She went down to the hotel indoor restaurant and ate there then came back up. She had some time to watch some television. She was playing solitaire on her laptop. A NewsAlert came on. Penny looked over to the t,v set listening to what the reporter had to say after she mentions The Thunderbirds. "That right Chuck, The Thunderbirds saved the day again thanks to them the people are save and alive." The reporter talked little bit more but Penny stopped listening. "You go boys," she said as she noticed the time.

She tied her hair in a ponytail, put on her black leather jacket, and dark sunglasses. Then left the room. She went down to the spot Transom told her. When she got there, nobody was there. She looked around but nothing. Not noticing somebody with a shovel hit her in the back of the head. She turned around and saw the face of The Hood before she dropped to the ground. Mullion came of the dark with a shovel in his hand. "Now Transom go tie our newest guest up next to our other guest" Transom with the help of a other minion they carried Penny's unconscious body to their hideout. "Now to sit up the second trap for Jeff and his brats" said The Hood. He looked at Mullion and said "You know what to do now" Mullion smiled and nodded. 'This is going to be fun". He headed towards the hideout to see the unconscious body. He took Penny's hotel room key from her coat pocket. The other guest, who was tied up next to Penny, was a good-looking male, late 40's, few grays were watching in horror. Mullion just looked at him then left the room. "Miss wake up, Miss" he said with a British accent. Nothing she was out cold for awhile.

When Mullion got to her room. He started going breaking things, ripping her clothes all over the room. He was about to trash her laptop when her cellphone rang. Mullion picked it up and looked at the caller ID he grinned when he saw the number. It was Jeff Tracy's phone number. A hooded figure came into the room. "What is it Mullion that making you smiled like that?" the figure questioned. Mullion showed the id number to the figure. The figure grabbed the phone and pushed a button. "Penny this is Me Jeff" said the caller. The figure spoke in the speaker part. "Why Jeff it's nice to hear from you" Jeff whose was the other end know who was on the other end and it wasn't Penny. "Hood where Penny?" he commanded

"Tisk Tisk, Jeff, telling you won't be fun, you have to find her yourself" then Jeff at the other end of the phone got really ticked off "If you did anything to her I swear I'll " before he could finished his sentence the Hood pushed a different button making the conversation ended.

"He took the bait, now it time to watch him squirm like a worm on a hook" said The Hood laughing evilly.

On Tracy Island

Jeff hanged up the phone. Just stirring there, remembering the conversation he just had with the Hood. He sat there a few minutes then he knew what to do. He called all his sons to his office. All of them came in the office including Fermat and Tin-Tin. He called Thunderbirds Five and John appeared on screen "I need you to hear this to John" said Jeff.

He looked at his sons and then sighed "Something happened to Lady P" he said. "What happened?" questioned Virgil. Jeff continued speaking "The Hood done something to her " Alan looked at his dad, he looked miserable. "We need to go find her " said Alan.

"I'm in," said Scott

"Me too" said Virgil

"Me three" said Gordon

"Count me in dad" said Alan

"And us too" said Tin-Tin

"I'll help when you need me too" said John up in Thunderbird Five

Jeff smiled when he heard that everybody wanted to go help find Penny.

"All right we need a plan" said Jeff

"Me and Virgil will stay here for IR" said Scott

Jeff nodded then spoke "The rest of us will go to Paradise Islands and start looking around for clues.

Everybody agreed to the plan and Jeff right away called the airlines and got seats for the earliest flight they have for tomorrow.
