Author's Note: Here it is, finally! I had to update today. Why, you ask? Because it's the 29th of February and that only happens once every four years. So I just had to update on this once every four years day.
Action!
Scott's P.O.V
'Are we there yet?'
Keeping my temper in check I answered, 'Not yet.'
'You sure?'
'Yes. Now stop asking that question. We'll get there when we get there.' God this kid sounded like Alan. Every car trip we had ever taken he had always asked that question. I remember one time,
Flashback
'Are we there yet?'
'Alan, we haven't even left the driveway let! How can we be there yet?'
'I don't know Scott, magic?'
'No such thing.'
'There is! Santa's magic! And so are the Easter bunny and the Tooth fairy. And so is Mummy.'
'Mummy?'
'She's an angel isn't she? And angels are magic. So Mummy's magic.'
'Alright, Alan. Mummy's magic.'
End Flashback
A voice over the radio started me out of my thoughts.
'Thunderbird Two to Thunderbirds One and Five.'
'Go ahead, Virg.'
'What's up?'
'I've found him.'
'You have!' I said.
'I have found two life signs. What else could it be?'
'Alright. Thunderbird One out.'
'F.A.B'
Gordon's P.O.V
I was double checking the rescue platform with Dad when Virgil's voice came over our comlinks.
'Dad, Gordon. I've found him.'
'F.A.B. Virgil. I'll be right up.'
'F.A.B.'
Dad turned to me. 'You're on the rescue platform Gordon. Bring Alan home.' He turned his back on me and headed for the cockpit.
'F.A.B.' I yelled after him.
As I got onto the platform and put my helmet on I remember the one time Alan had managed to 'get me'.
Flashback
I walked into my room and went to grab my swimmers only to find that they weren't there. I looked all over my room but couldn't find them.
'Scott!'
'Yes?' he said, poking his head into my room.
'Have you seen my swimmers?'
'Nope, sorry kiddo.'
'That's okay.' I searched the house five times until I looked out at the pool and saw my swimmers hanging over the pool, on a line connected to poles either side.
'How did they get there?' then I noticed Alan swimming in the pool. Actually more like, treading water under them.
'ALAN! I get you!'
'What are you going to do? Can't get in the water, can you?'
'Wrong.' I jumped into the water and started dunking Alan.
'Uncle!' he yelled when he came up for air. 'I give up!'
'Good.
End Flashback
Alan's P.O.V
I was worried. I had tried to contact everyone using my watch, only to find that it was broken. And since I didn't have my helmet there was no other way to let everyone know I was okay. On top of this I had to keep a 13 year old calm when I wasn't feeling calm myself.
'We're going to die!'
'We are not.'
'And you know this how?'
'My team mates are still out there. They will come for me and I am not going till you're out of the water an on Thunderbird Two.'
'Really?'
'Yup. Now hang on till the Calvary arrives.'
As if my words had some sort of magic, Thunderbird Two suddenly came into view above us. I muttered under my breath. 'Never thought I would be this glad to see that big, green bug.'
'How long do we have?' Henry asked. I had told him about the flood waters.
'We have about 15 minutes left.'
'Oh God. I hope your guys are fast.'
'They're the best.'
T.B.C
Author's Note: And Cut! Take five everybody! As for the actual rescue? That will have to take place next chapter. Maybe. Who knows how long I can delay it.
