Kayo stood by Shadow watching her family talking bedside FAB1, she sighed and Scott walked over to her.

"Are you alright?"

Kayo shook her head, "no, not really. My uncle has been arrested again, which is great. But now the Mechanic is caught being a good guy, and a bad one. What is going on?"

Scott smiled at her, "at least they've both been arrested."

"That's not good enough," Kayo turned her back to him and hit her fists against Shadow. "Am I to forever be haunted by my uncle?"

Scott placed a hand on her shoulder aware that the others were watching, "no one will haunt you again. They'll have to get through me first."

Kayo felt tears come to her eyes and she sobbed, "it's not fair."

Scott wrapped his arms around her and pulled her gently to his chest whispering soft words of comfort into her ear, "shhh, I'm here Kayo. I'm here."

Virgil walked over after pushing his youngest brothers back, then spoke to Kayo sympathetically, "Kayo?"

Kayo lifted her head from Scott's chest and wiped her eyes before turning her attention to Virgil, "what?"

"We'll keep track of your uncle, you don't need to worry about him in your life anymore."

"But we've seen what he can do, and no one got rid of that eyepiece he has. Why is the GDF so shit!" Kayo snapped as Scott wrapped a hand around her waist.

"Kayo, they've done a lot for us."

"Name three things, Scott?"

Scott hummed thoughtfully, "well they sorted...they evacuated that university for us and...umm."

"Face it. They're shit," Kayo broke free from Scott's embrace. "I don't want to work with them anymore, and I don't think they're safe with my uncle and the Mechanic on board. I'm going after those fliers."

Virgil grabbed her arm, "Kayo no. They're still in charge. We operate with their permission. You can't go after a flier."

"Covert ops is my job Virgil, if I went even just as a lookout I'd feel useful."

"Don't do it, please Kayo?" Virgil rubbed her arm.

"Fine, but if it goes wrong, don't blame me."

Scott sighed as she walked away, "I think it's time to go home."

Virgil watched as Kayo leapt into Shadow, "I think you're right." He whistled loudly for Alan and Gordon's attention, "let's go!"

Penelope watched as Thunderbird 1 took off as Shadow flew from the scene and she sighed, "what a day. I hope we don't come across those criminals again for a long time."

Gordon nodded, "tell me about it. I better go. Virgil hates to be kept waiting."

"Have a safe journey home," Penelope smiled as she squeezed Gordon's hand in hers. "Call me at some point, you always leave it too long."

Gordon chuckled, "I'll try."

Alan stood on the platform waiting impatiently, "come on Gordon!"

Gordon groaned, "sorry Penny." Inside Thunderbird 2, Virgil fired up the engines and Gordon looked back with a slight frown, "rude. Have a good afternoon."

"Goodbye Gordon," Penelope stood back and waved as he ran back to Thunderbird 2 laughing as she spotted Alan elbow him.

Virgil smiled as the two came into the cockpit, "sorry about that, but I'm really hungry, and we have to pin Kayo down."

Alan frowned, "we what?"

"I'm joking Al, she just wants revenge on the GDF. Scott left early to make sure she didn't take Shadow anywhere but home."

Gordon stared out of the window as they flew back and sighed happily, "Penny Lane is in my ear, and in my heart..."

Virgil burst out laughing, "excuse me?"

Gordon jumped. "Oh, I thought there was a private conversation going on?"

Alan laughed with Virgil, "hopeless romantic, that's what you are Gordon."

Gordon pouted, "am not, I'm a very good romantic." He frowned again when Virgil chuckled. "Oh shut up!"

As soon as Kayo landed she hit the combat room and began attacking the mannequins immediately with screams and punches. Scott walked in and wrapped his hands in cloth before sitting down on the bench to watch her. Each scream ripped through his heart until he could take it no longer and he ran forward to catch her in his arms where she broke down against him in aching sobs of anger. Scott stroked her hair and knelt down with her in his lap.

"It's alright. Let it out."

"What do you think I'm doing?"

Scott nodded. "Sorry."

"I'm so angry Scott. The GDF have arrested them, but are they really behind bars or just being held for interrogation?"

"What do you mean?"

"They're criminal masterminds, they'll get out again. I will never be free from their shadow over me. Scott, you know that's true."

Scott held her tightly, "just forget about them, whatever they do, we'll bring them down together. They're not getting past us again. We won't be fooled twice."

"We already have been, this will be the third time!"

"Alright, but you know what I mean. Let's get a drink and I'll play you something."

Kayo nodded, "that might help." She took his hand and stood up.

The two walked into the kitchen after getting changed, and Virgil smiled at them as he made himself a smoothie. Scott picked up his guitar which was lying against the bookshelf, then walked down to the picnic bench with Kayo. Gordon flung a towel onto a lounger and jumped into the pool startling Alan who yelped after getting splashed. The couple sat close together and Scott tuned up as Gordon began his laps. Virgil stretched out on a lounger tossing his shirt aside to soak up the remaining sun, and Scott began to play. Kayo snuggled into his side watching the others chilling and he kissed the top of her head.

"What a day Scott."

"I know sweetheart, but it'll be okay."

"I hope you're right."

"I usually am," Scott chuckled as she kissed his cheek. "We'll sort it all out tomorrow. For now, just relax."

Kayo smiled as she listened to the soft strums of the guitar, "I'll try. You're right, there's nothing I can do about it for the moment."

Scott shook his head, "not right now. But we'll bring them down if they try anything, trust me."

Kayo looked round at him and kissed him before licking her lips then rested a hand on his knee, "thanks for stopping me earlier."

"Forget about it," Scott whispered against her cheek then watched his brothers swimming as he played the guitar for his soul mate.
