Chapter 4. First rescue
Brains had kept his promise and made a special suit for Sarah. Today she had her first mission. There had been a mudslide it took them 13 hours to get survivors into safety. Everyone was exhausted.
Sarah and Gordon had been helping people out of the mud when the sealing collapsed the mud became too heavy. They had just gotten out in time. Both of them sat in the cockpit of thunderbird 2. "You know Gordon. I think it will cost is a week to get all of this dirt out of our pores" Sarah joked.
"Agree. I got mud on and in places I've never known to get mud there." Gordon replied.
Sarah and Virgil both burst out in laughing. "too much info Gordo" Virgil said.
"Though i wonder. How come Scott doesn't have one bit of mud on him" Sarah said. "We do have to do something about that" Sarah said grinning.
"Oh boy Gordon has found his prank buddy besides Alan" Virgil Muttered
"Virgil is way to clean to" Gordon grinned.
Virgil shook his head "almost home"
Sarah yawned "good. I'm exhausted. I think i am going to sleep under the shower"
Virgil laughed "can't image that it is comfier.
Sarah thought about "true. But how am i going to lose all this mud and sleep at the same time." Then she grinned at Gordon winking he gave her a nod in response he knew exactly what she was up to.
Once they reached the island and Virgil had put thunderbird 2 nicely in the hangar, he stood up ready to exit. But Gordon and Sarah stood in front of him grinning " what are you two up to" he backed up when Sarah and Gordon walked up to him
"Just a nice hug from us" Sarah grinned spreading her arms.
"Euh...no thanks" Virgil said backing more up slowly cursing when he realized that he couldn't back up any more when his back hit the control panel. Sarah and Gordon took their chance and escapes their arms around him getting mud everywhere on him. "Oi let me go you two." Virgil shouted struggling
Sarah and Gordon finally let him go laughing they walked back out of thunderbird 2 straight to their rooms.
Sarah got rid of her uniform throwing it in the laundry shoot. She stepped under the shower scrubbing the mud of her body. After she was done, she put on a t shirt and shorts she walked towards her bed an crashed on t. Yawning almost instantly falling asleep.
She woke up when she heard some knocking on her door. "go away" she mumbled snugling deeper under her blankets. She groaned when she heard the door open. "I am sleeping" she mumbled.
All of a sudden, a bucket of ice-cold water came over her. Screaming she jumped up "cold cold" she looked at Virgil. " Virgil what the hell?"
Virgil grinned "came to get you for dinner."
"You could have called me. Instead freaking cold water" Sarah said glaring
"Had to get you back for your stunt in thunderbird 2. Gordon wasn't happy with me either" Virgil laughed "get changed dinners ready" he laughed walking off.
Sarah cursed and pulled some dry clothes on put her hair in a ponytail and went downstairs to get dinner she was mumbling and grumbling that she wasn't quite looking to where she was going as she bumped straight into Scott "oef..." She said looking up with what she collided with she grinned "Oh hi"
"Hi. You ok? you seem grumpy" Scott laughed
" Virgil threw water over me. Now my bed is soaked. Only because i got mud all over him" Sarah added that last bit with a grin
"Well that should teach you to never cross with Virgil with pranks" he grinned "you forgot some mud" He said touching her face and removing it. Sending tingles down her spine
Blinking at this strange feeling and the fact that he touches her made her blush "your Lucky though" she said looking in his eyes almost drowning
"How so?" He wondered
"You were on my hit list, for the mud attack. You where way to clean" she grinned
"Lucky me that my ship is faster." Scott grinned.
Sarah rolled her eyes "show off. But be careful. I didn't say i would do it now. It will be a complete surprise" Sarah grinned and walked with him towards the dinner table and sat down.
"All dry?" Virgil asked grinning
" I am" Sarah grinned. "You all clean?"
Virgil nodded passing the potatoes towards her. "So, we all in for movie night?"
Everyone nodded
Sarah looked at Virgil "since you soaked my bed. I am sleeping in yours tonight. I have to warn you though i claim all the room in the bed" Sarah tried to hold her laugh
Virgil almost choked in his food Scott tried to hide his jealous look "excuse me?" Virgil asked while coughing
Sarah burst out in laughing "just...kidding" she said between laughing and wiping het tears away." kayo did you get the surplices for me for tomorrow?" Sarah asked
Kayo nodded " I've placed them in the storage room and the kitchen."
"Great the kitchen is off limits tomorrow. I am cooking" Sarah smiled "John. One thing though i was wondering. That mudslide of today was there any indication that it would happen. I mean there was rain but I can't recall that heavy"
"You wondered that to huh?" John asked. "I've been looking into the data but nothing should ore could indicate that the mudslide was bound to happen."
"My thoughts exactly" Sarah said
"So you both think it was a set up?" Scott asked
Sarah nodded "strange thing was. I got the feeling we were being watched"
"I'll look into it" John said
"Thanks, I appreciate it" Sarah said while eating
"So, Sarah where are you going to sleep tonight? " Gordon asked grinning
"Not in my bed" Sarah laughed "Don't worry I can sleep on the strangest places. I am going to put an inflatable bed in my room"
After dinner Sarah helped cleaning the table while the boys where taking a swim. Ore more throwing each other around in the pool laughing. Sarah looked at them and smiled "sometimes their just little boys aren't they grandma"
"Boys will be boys" Grandma smiled "though don't tell them that you said that"
"That's a wise advice grandma. I said that once and I ended up in the pool" Kayo said walking in and helping them.
"You said what once? " Gordon asked
"Nothing" Grandma, Kayo and Sarah said at the same time
Gordon looked suspicious "Yo, Scott, Virgil and Alan get over here now" he yelled. All of the boys ran over thinking there was some emergency "Their hiding something for us" gordon said pointing at the three women.
"Were not hiding anything" Sarah grinned.
"I think they need a bath, what do you think boys" Gordon grinned what made the other boys grin to and nod. "But we can't do that to an elder woman, so these two are busted and taking a dive. " Making the boys nod again and walking closer towards Kayo and Sarah
"Euh Kayo" Sarah said "Time to go"
"Good idea" Kayo said and both girls took a sprint. Four boys went after them Sarah went right and Kayo left. Virgil and Gordon went after Kayo and Alan and Scott after Sarah she ran true the house towards the hangars thinking of places to hide, she was a couple steps ahead of them, but their brother John was helping the boys finding Sarah and Kayo "traitor" Sarah snapped in her watch towards john. Who laughed "You should be helping me, this is not fair" she ran into the back of the hangars and hid behind a pod of thunderbird 2.
Scott and Alan cached up with her. Alan went one side and Scott the other "Gotcha" he said grabbing her. Sarah squealed trying to get loose but he picked her up over his shoulders and following Alan who was whohooing that they had her. Gordon and Virgil also had Kayo and joined them walking towards the pool. Once they reached the pool Virgil and Gordon threw Kayo in with a splash and jumping after her laughing.
"Don't you dare Scott Tracy. " Sarah warned
Scott laughed "Don't dare what? This? " And he threw her into the pool "Whoops just did it" He said laughing and jumping after her.
Sarah came up coughing "That's it" She said jumping on his back trying to push him under. What wasn't working because of course the brothers where helping each other. What meant Sarah went under again. "I give up" Sarah said holding her hands up.
"If you children are all done, we can watch the movie now" Grandma grinned. "Get dry clothes on and hurry I got the popcorn. "
Everyone sprinted to their rooms. Sarah put on a sweatpants and shirt and went downstairs. Crossing her arms when she reached the sofa aria. "and where can I sit? " she asked when everyone had their places. Gordon was sitting next to grandma and Alan on the other side. Kayo was sitting closely against Virgil and Brains next to Scott. Between Scott and Brains there was a tiny spot "Really?" Sarah said pointing at the tiny space
"Yup" Gordon said grinning his plan was working. He had everyone right where he wanted them. Kayo and Virgil where matched by him. He had already seen the tension between them. And he saw the look Scott gave when Sarah made the joke to Virgil. He planned on playing cupid this time.
"But it wont fit" Sarah argued
"Just squeeze in between them. They won't bite "Gordon grinned.
Scott shrugged and made some room for her. It wasn't much room though
Sarah narrowed her eyes towards Gordon then shrugged 'fine, two can play this game to' she thought and sat in between Scott and Brains. Her back was against Scotts chest his arm around her shoulder. So that his arm would not be crushed 'have to admit. Its quite comfortable' she thought.
Scott wasn't complaining he found this quite comfortable to. After a while he felt her body sink into him her head against his shoulder. he gently looked and smiled she was asleep within the first half of the movie.
After a while he felt her move and stiffen her head softly moving her hands twitching and soft l whimpers coming from her.
Virgil looked up towards her he frowned 'nightmare?' He mouthed he watched as Sarah was scratching her side and slowly tossing her head
Scott nodded 'think so' he looked at her. A small tear escaped her eyes " Sarah its ok. Just a dream. Get back to sleep. Your safe" he whispered in her ear. He wiped gently the tear away. Sarah sighed and snuggled back against his chest and continued sleeping
