Chapter 8 : Help is on his way.

Virgil helped Tommy to get into a ventilation shaft. "Look Tommy, you need to promise me that what ever happens, you won't look back, okay ?" said Virgil while looking in Tommy's eyes.

"Yes mom" said Tommy a bit sarcastic.

"Tommy i mean it." said Virgil. "These guys are dangerous, especially, the hood. You don't know what he is capable of."

Tommy sighed. "Okay…"

"Good boy," smiled Virgil. "Now, go and warn the villagers."

Tommy nodded and crawled down the ventilator.

Virgil watched Tommy for a while and then turned back to Jessica. "Come on, we need to stop the hood and Philip." He said.

They ran to the room where they had been in the first time. While coming there they saw Philip and the hood at the controls of the machine, with their back to them.

"Ah, looks like we have some spectators, Philip. Get them." Said the hood without turning around and facingJessica and Virgil.

Suddenly a few guards came in the room and attacked Virgil and Jessica. Jessica went standing in fighting mood and when a guard came at her, she kicked him away with a powerful karate – kick.

Virgil just stood there with his fist tensed. As a few guards came to him, he hit them with his fist like a boxer. Virgil and Jessica were so busy fighting, that they didn't notice Philip getting a poker out and running to them.

Philip grinned and poked the poker in Virgil's back. Virgil screamed in pain. "Virgil !" said Jessica, while trying to kick the poker out of Philip's hand, without getting burned herself. Philip kicked her away, into Virgil's arms.

"You are too late, Virgil. The mudslide is already away ! You can't stop it now !" said the hood. "Philip, end their lives. So that no one will ever know what happened."

"Yes, sir." Said Philip grinning hard at them.

"Goodbye, Virgil Tracy. May you rest in piece with your mother." Smiled the hood to Virgil while walking away with a few guards that weren't beaten up.

Virgil growled and then looked at Philip who was still grinning evil. "I am going to enjoy this, Tracy. Since the day you came to the village you were blocking my plans. Everything was going well until you came, you had to save that boy from the fire, you had to be the one that the mayor trusted more then me ! And I had almost all the power to control the village !" said Philip angry, swinging the poker at Virgil. "But now I've got the chance to kill you, you and Miss. Perfect here ! I will tell all of them how you killed Jessica in front of my eyes, how I was too late to save her and how I've killed you out of revenge of the death of Jessica. And now, Die !"

Philip attacked Virgil and Jessica with a battle scream. Virgil pushed Jessica away and blocked the poker with his left arm. Virgil winced in pain, having one eye closed. He could feel the heat burning into his skin of his arm. But he had to stop Philip. He had to help the villagers. Virgil started to scream and hit Philip in the face with his right fist.

The fist came hard enough in Philip's face that he let the poker fall on the ground. Virgil attacked Philip when he was trying to recover from the punch Virgil gave. Virgil punched him again in the face, making Philip look straight at him. A second hit was in the stomach by Virgil. Philip growled and started to fight back. He punched Virgil in the face, giving him a bleeding lip. Philip grinned and hit Virgil in the weakest place of him. Virgil winced and felt down in pain.

"Weakling." Said Philip while taking a knife out of his pocket and wanting to stab Virgil.

Suddenly Philip was grabbed from behind. "Let me go Jessica !" he said angry and when she didn't let him go, he threw her over him and looked at her. "If you had only listened to me.." Philip said and held his knife up to stab.

Virgil saw just in time what Philip wanted to do and jumped on Philip to stop him. The knife felt out of his hand. Virgil and Philip where wrestling on the ground. Finely Philip was getting weaker, but he wasn't the only one who was getting weak. Virgil still had trouble with his back and the longer he was laying on it, the more weaker and pain he was getting.

Philip was above Virgil grinning at him while he held his hands. "You are getting weaker, Tracy. You can't come up against me. So…Die !"

"In your dreams !" said Virgil and kicked Philip into a hole that was there in the ground. Virgil crawled to the hole when the scream of the falling Philip was over. Virgil saw that Philip was laying on the bottom of the hole.

"Is…Is he dead ?" asked Jessica when she came to Virgil.

"I don't think so. He must have been knocked out." said Virgil while standing up. "Come on, we need to call International Rescue, to help us. I bet here's a radio somewhere."

"Okay." Said Jessica and they went to the main room where the most computer and radios stood. "Which one would I use and which transmitter are you guys on ?"

"Well, it doesn't matter. Choose any transmitter you like and the best radio to take is that one." Said Virgil pointing at a radio in the corner.

Jessica nodded and went to the radio. She took a seat in the chair that was standing there. "Calling International Rescue, calling International Rescue, come in please." She said when she had put the headphone with the microphone on her head.

"International Rescue here, what is the situation ?" asked John after a few minutes.

"Yes, there's another mudslide coming down the hill. It's going get my village !" said Jessica with a worried voice.

"Calm down, now where is your village." Said John trying to calm Jessica down.

"It's in San Bernardino. It's close where we found one of your members." She said.

"Wait a second, you can't have found him. He's dead. Besides there's no village on the map of San Bernardino." Said John while he was looking at one of the maps from San Bernardino.

"But you got to believe me ! He's still alive ! Virgil is still alive ! and the village was too small for the map to get shown." Said Jessica a bit angrily.

John looked confused. 'How did she know Virgil's name ?' thought John. "Hey, how do you know his name ?" said John to her.

Jessica sighed and then looked at Virgil, who was standing next to her. "Just wait a second. I'll give him to you." She said and gave the headphones to Virgil.

"John," said Virgil.

"Virgil ! Thank God, your still alive ! Everyone thought you where dead !" said John , before Virgil could say anything else.

"John, listen to me, The hood was behind the mudslides and some other guy. You need to let father send the guys here. It's the only way we can save those people here." Said Virgil being in rescue mode.

"Okay, Virgil. I'll contact base and tell them. " said John.

"Thanks, John." Said Virgil.

"Oh and Virgil, welcome back. Thunderbird 5 out"

Virgil smiled and then turned to Jessica. "Come on, let's go !" he said and stood up.

On Tracy Island everyone sat in the lounge. Everyone was called in the lounge to discuss something. "You know why you've all have been called down here," said Jeff Tracy the ex- astronaut and head of International Rescue. " Virgil has been…." Jeff sighed. These words where hard to say about his lost middle son, who is almost lost for a week. "Dead already almost for a week and…I want to let him rest in piece." Said Jeff looking around in the room.

Everyone sat quiet on the sofa. Gordon sat closely to the painting that covered the centre of Thunderbird 2, staring at the ground. Alan and Tin-Tin sat on the next sofa that stood there. Tin-Tin was looking down at the ground as Gordon was. She had a tissue in her hand. Alan looked a bit grumpy at his dad, still not believing that Virgil is dead. The next sofa had been like this since the day that Virgil had disappeared. Next to him sat Brains, who wasn't happy either.

There was a silence in the room. Nobody said anything when Jeff had said that. Alan just wanted to say something, when John's portrait eyes started to flash.

"Come in John," said Jeff while looking at his seconded eldest son.

"Dad, great news, Virgil is still alive !" said John with happiness in his voice.

"What ?" said the half of the room.

"See ! I told you ! I was right he was alive !" said Alan to everyone while jumping up and looking at everyone in the room.

"John, where is he ? How is he ? Is he okay ?" asked John's father, shooting him all the questions he had about his middle son to him.

"Calm down, dad. No, I don't know if he's okay and yes I know where he is. He needs our help, dad. He said there was another mudslide in San Bernardino." Said John smiling.

"Okay John. Boys you heard your brother. Virgil needs our help, so go and help him !" said Jeff with a smile to his sons.

"FAB !" said the young Tracy men and they went to the entrance of Thunderbird 1 and 2
