Author's Note: Wow! I wasn't planning on updating so soon but you guys all made me feel so loved that I couldn't hold off the next chapter. So here it is, chapter 2
'Thunderbird One to Thunderbird Two.'
'Go ahead Scott.'
'We've landed at the disaster zone and Alan's setting up Mobile Control. What's your E.T.A?'
'25 minutes.'
'F.A.B'
Scott terminated the radio link as he hopped down from Thunderbird One and went over to where Mobile Control where Alan had managed to get all the leaders of the respective rescue organisations.
'Scott, this is Sergeant Tom Gregory of the police force. He's was in charge of the rescue until we got here.'
'Good to meet you. Now tell me everything you can about the location of the kids.'
'Well, we think they're in a bend of the river, just out of sight. We can't get to them without having to go on that bridge over there. Problem is it's the type of bridge that normally gets washed away in big floods, so it's a miracle it's lasted this long!'
'Anything else?'
'Yeah, now I think about it. This creek flows off a dam about 40kms from here. Last thing I heard they are evacuating the area around here as the dams overflowed and the waters going to run off into this creek. Same thing happened last week. In about 40 minutes this whole area will be underwater.'
'What?!'
'Thank you for the information. If what you say is true, I advise you get out of here and leave this rescue to us.'
'Will do.' Tom said as he walked towards his men. 'Pack up guys, we're outa here!'
'Scott! Didn't you hear him!'
'I did Alan, but right now we need to gets those kids out of there, okay?'
'Yes, Sir!'
'Now go. See if you can get close enough to talk to those kids, okay?'
'Alright.'
'Thunderbird One to Thunderbirds Two and Five.'
'What's wrong, Scott?'
'John, what do you know about the dam nearby?'
'Umm… not much. Expect that it in the last big floods it over flowed and that the water runs into local creeks…Holy Cow!'
'What is it John?'
'Dad, it flows into the creek where those kids are!'
'Yeah, John we know. A local reckons we have about 40 minutes till it over flows.'
'Scott…'
'Dad don't! Just what's your E.T.A?'
'20 minutes…Make that 15 minutes. Gordon's at the wheel.'
'And you're complaining? Haven been in the 'birds with Alan, have you?'
'Nope, and by the sounds of it I don't want to.'
'You don't. Trust me. And I thought flying with Scott was bad.'
'Ha ha, very funny. Thunderbird One out.'
'F.A.B.
'Henry?'
'Yes, Kate?'
'How much longer?'
'Not much.'
Kate tried to look at her brother but she was too tired to do it. She felt her hands slipping off the branch she was holding. She moved her hands up and prayed. Please God, help us. Just then she heard a new voice.
'Hello! Is their anyone there?'
'Who's that Henry?'
'Don't know but they must be here to help.'
'Hello! Can you hear me?!'
'Yes! We can!'
'I'm from International rescue, I'm here to help. My name is Alan, what's yours?'
'Henry and Kate Jomes.'
'Okay, do you know how far away from the river bend you are?'
'No!'
'That's okay, we'll find you!'
'Hurry up! I'm tired.'
'Just hang on!'
'Alright.'
'Hurry up! I'm tired.'
'Just hang on!'
'Alright.'
Come on Dad, Alan thought. These kids can't hold on much longer.
Then a voice come over his comlink.
'Alan? Do you hear me?'
'Nope, can't hear you, Scott.'
Alan could imagine the glare Scott would be giving him.
'Very funny, Alan. How's it going?'
'Not good, those kids aren't going to be able to hold on much longer.'
'Well, they have to. Dad's not going to get here for another ten minutes.'
'Ten minutes! Scott, I don't think they can hold on that long!'
'Sorry Sprout, it's the best we can do. Gordon has Thunderbird Two going as fast as she can.'
'No chance of her going any faster?'
'Nope. But as soon as they get here we need to be ready with a plan. We'll only have 25 minutes before the whole area floods.'
'Floods!'
'Yes, Floods. So got any ideas?'
'Maybe.'
'Why do I get the feeling I'm not going to like this idea?'
''Cause it's you. But yeah, I don't think you're going to like this.'
T.B.C….
