Kelly laid in the hospital sleeping after their last converstaion Kelly need the rest. Scott stayed right by her side the whole time. It amazed him that even with all that she had been through she was still so beautiful. Ahand was placed on his shoulder that made him jump out of his day dream.
"Scott. How are you doing?" Jeff's words came.
Scott rubbed his eyes it had been days it seemed that he had got a good nights rest.
"Good." The word rolled off his lips like poison.
"Scott your not doing good, come with me to get coffee." Jeff said.
"I can't leave her-"
"She will be fine for an hour." Jeff said and pulled his son away from the girl.
Scott stumbled backwards never taking his sight off of Kelly. The door then shut softly and her grace and beauty where gone. Scott looked over at his father,"I'm sorry I was going to call but lost track of time."
"I know." Jeff said and smiled. His eyes had a gleam to them that Scott hadn't seen before.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" Scott then asked.
"Oh it's nothing I was just thinking about your mother." Jeff said and sat down in a chair.
Scott sat his cup of coffee down on the table and then also sat down. Scott knew that if his father was thinking of his mother it meant something. Scott had touched something in Jeff that hadn't been noticed for so many years.
"Why?" Scott asked.
"I looked just like you did when I met your mother and I felt what you felt." Jeff said and then stared at Scott hard.
"Scott do you like this girl or do you love her?"
"I don't know." Scott answered he was truly confused now.
"I'm guessing that John and Virgil told you about her." Jeff said.
"Yes they did." Scott said he still felt a betrayal on that.
"Did you-" Jeff said and then looked down at the watch that started to ring.
"Go John." Jeff said dropping everything else for his second eldest son.
"Earthquake outside of San Fransico two people trapped in a building law enforcement can't get to them." John spoke with a cold hard tone in his voice.
"Ok I'll get back to the island as fast as possible get your brothers on their way. Get the machines ready I want Alan in TB2 with Virgil. Once I get to the island I'll bring TB1." Jeff said getting into his car.
A suprised look came upon his face when he saw Scott behind the wheel.
"Scott you don't have to come." Jeff spoke.
"I'm coming." Scott then flipped a screen on and got a com-link open with Virgil.
"Virgil get Alan in TB1 you takeTB2 get the mole loaded up." Scott started to give out orders. Virgil gave his father a glance,"Do it!" Jeff used with force and authority in his voice.
"We will bring Tracy 1and be there as soon as possible."Jeff then said.
"Thunderbirds are go!" Scott put in.
'Kelly please forgive me.' Scott kept thinking in his mind.
Jeff looked at his son and his heart skipped a beat Scott was really in love with this girl. Jeff didn't know how to react he was proud of his son for getting close to someone but in the same time he flet that he needed to protect Scott more. Jeff didn't want any of his sons hurt.
'It's all part of life.' Jeff thought to himself and then looked on into the distance.
Kelly disappered from Scott's thoughts as they arrived at the danger zone. Jeff and Scott quickly made their way to Thunderbird 1 where their uniforms would be waiting. Scott jumped out of TB1 first and made his way to Alan who was looking puzzled.
"Alan!" Scott yelled over all the noise.
"Scott." Alan yelled back running towards him.
"Anything new?" Scott then asked looking at the building.
"The two people stuck inside are a women and child. They are on the fifth floor and the building is about to fall in. Virgil went in-"
"What you let him go in by himself!" Scott said looking at the building as it creaked.
"He told me to wait for you guys." Alan said now looking at his father running towards them.
"Alan tell dad that I'm going in after Virgil we will be out in no time. I want you to bring the mole as close as you can so we can jump in and get out quickly." Scott yelled starting is short run towards the building.
Scott climbed in what he thought was a window and started to yell out,"Virgil!" A soft yell from above him told him that Virgil was ok.
Scott then climbed the crumbling stairs to were he heard his brother.Virgil appeared at the top of the stairs.
"Scott I thought-" Virgil started.
"I know forget it we needto get these people out of here."Scott yelled, just then the building creaked violently.
"Move!" Scott screamed at Virgil.
Virgil grabbed the child and Scott grabbed the womens hand and ran carefully over the falling wood.They were just about out of the building as an aftershock hit and threw everyone to the ground. Scott rose off the floor and helped the women he then saw in horror as the floor he had been running on seconds later grumble and fall leaving a huge hole.
"Virgil get out of here let's go!" Scott screamed as he pulled the women in front of him and hurried for the door.
"Scott!" Virgil's cry came. Virgil was laying on the ground holding his knee. The child was screaming in terror.
"Virgil." Scott said as he made his way back to his brother.
"I think I broke it." Virgil said as he struggled to pull himself off the floor.
Scott thought quickly and then yelled at the women,"Take the child and get out of her I'll come up behind with him GO!"
The child ran to the women and the women picked the child up and ran out of the hole.
"Scott! Virgil!" Jeff yelled down into the building.
Scott pulled his brother to his feet and started their slow voyage to the door. Scott made a quick glance behind him and looked in disgust as the floor began to grumble again. The two of them where a few inches from the door when the floor creaked and groaned. Virgil looked at Scott and then looked at the distance to the door.
"Scott we are not going to make it." Virgil said grunting picking his leg up and stumbling again.
"You are!" Scott yelled as he pushed his brother the short distance to the door. Jeff grabbed Virgil's hand and pulled him up. He then looked at Scott who had stopped dead in his tracks.
"Scott come on!" Jeff shouted.
"I'll never make it and the floor is about to give way." Scott said back.
"Scott you can make it come on!" Jeff yelled.
"This isn't so bad I will be gone with a painless death." Scott then said quietly.
"Scott don't talk like-" Jeff was cut off as the floor gave another groan. He shot a glance at Scott who stood there with a clear determind look on his face.
"Scott Please." Jeff cried trying hard to make his way out to his eldest son.
"I love you." Scott said as the floor gave way.
"SCOTT!" Jeff screamed.
Alan sank to his knees sobbing Scott couldn't be gone. Jeff also feel to his knees sobbing. Virgil laid there shocked.
"No!" Jeff yelled.
