Chapter 1

Scott leaned back against the wall and ran a hand through his dark brown hair. He had moved from his bedroom out on to the balcony at the end of the hall. His eyes searched the night sky for one particular star. 'Please Mom, look over Kim and let us bring her home safely.' He murmed quietly as a tear ran down his cheek.
'Couldn't sleep either.' He looked up to see his brother John standing in the doorway. Scott shook his head. 'I'll be surprised if anyone can.'
'I just feel so bad. I shouldn't have told Virgil to send Kim off on her own.'
John san down next to him and put an arm around his older brother's shoulders. 'Scott, it's not your fault, you didn't know that it was going to happen. We will find her I promise.'
'I hope your right John.'

Jeff Tracy watched from the doorway as his two eldest sons comforted each other for the loss of their sister. He had already lost one woman of his family and wasn't willing to give up on the other that easily. 'Lucy, I promise that I willbring our baby girl back home safely. Just watch over her until I can.' He whispered up to the stars.

The next dawn marked exactly a month since the disapperance of the only Tracy daughter. The entire family sat in Jeff's office, completly silent.. John was due to go back up to Thunderbird 5 today. Although one of their members was missing, International Rescue still had to carry on. The world needed them. Jeff rose and went over to hug his second youngest son. 'Keep your eyes and ears peeled fot anything that might concern Kim.' He told him.
'I will father, I promise.' With that he and Gordon stepped into their lifts to head to Thunderbird 3. The rest of the boys filed out of the office save for Alan.
'Dad?'
'Yes Alan.'
'What do you think has happened to Kim?'
'I really don't know son. Anything could have happened. She may have been kidnapped or she may have found another passage that Gordon did not and lost her communicator on the way. But the second is much less likely.'
'But why would someone want to kidnap her?'
'There are many reasons Alan. People want our secrets, they could be in league with the Hood, or they could have been after someone else.'
'I just hope she's ok Dad.'
'We all do son, we all do.'

Gordon and John sat in silence as Thunderbird 3 ascended towards her space bound sister ship. They both did not want to voice the concerns they had for Kim. Finally John spoke. 'She'll be alright Gordon, I know it.'
'How?' His younger brother questioned.
'Kim's strong, she can look after herself.'
'I know, but we have no idea what condition she's in. For all we know she could be dead by now.'
'Don't you dare speak like that Gordon Cooper Tracy. She's alive and we will find her.'
'Sorry.' The pair did not speak again until they said their goodbyes on Thunderbird 5. Then Gordon began the descent back to Earth.

Jeff sat in his office, attempting to fill out some paperwork for Tracy Industries. His mind, however, was not on work, but on his missing daughter and the rest of his family. How would everyone cope if they were unable to return Kim home? He still held some hope but he did not know if it would be enough. After an entire month of searching they were still no closer to finding Kim than when they began. They had gone back to Wales and searched the caves many times, using the Mole to dig through, but there was no trace of the missing girl. Authorities all over the world had been alerted to the fact that one of the members of International Rescue had gone missing, and had been supplied with a photograph to help identify his daughter. But nothing had been heard from any of these, or from IR agents from around the globe, who were all on high alert after the incidence. Jeff was beginning to lose hope that they would ever find his only daughter. One particular Photograph on his desk stood out from the rest. Kim's university graduation, 2 years ago. All his children looked so carefree and happy there. He had only wished that his wife had been there, but he knew that she was watching down from above.

Please review for the next chapter. And what do people think about the idea of me bringing Sam (the blind boy from Kimberly's view) back in some way?
