2060 Present Day

Alan sat down at the table, his brothers began to explain the reason for their deceit, Scott explained how the hood had infiltrated the most secure government in the world and his deceit fooled "the international community to invest billions of dollars in creating international rescue machine that could deal with any crisis, Mum was hired for her advancements in micro technology and that is when she discovered the Hoods real goals." Alan sat and listened as Scott explained that their mother then contacted the international board in charge of the project, were she was recruited by Lady Penelope Creighton- Ward. "Brains, Mum and Dad ended the Hoods plans, but mum was captured. It took a long time, but dad finally found mum, but the Hood was there, he had a gun, Dad doesn't know what happened but there was a gun shot and a cave in, dad was still alive when they pulled him out the cave but mum was never found. They searched for days but it was an impossible task." Listening to them explain everything, he looked at the revolver in his hand and placed it on the table.

"Dad didn't want you involved Alan he didn't want you consumed with anger. We buried an empty coffin so you could say goodbye. He never gave up looking for mum" Scott sighed "then, he got a call, someone knew where mum was" the eldest said leaning back "once the details where checked, he was told to go to their first meeting point. Where upon Dad had told us to bring Thunderbird One, at 3:30pm, since the meeting was taking place at 3pm"

Alan looked at his brothers, he felt that something was wrong, Virgil cleared his throat "Scott and I got to the meeting site, we… didn't get there in time, someone came up behind dad… we heard the pop, dad fell… off the cliff, Scott and I couldn't find him our equipment did not work due to the weather.…We still haven't found his body" he mumbled "first mum now dad"

"The Hood contacted us with proof that mum was still alive, he threatened to kill her if we did not follow his plans, If he calls us, we go…we work for his company" he said, Alan asked "and that is?" The brothers looked at one another and Scott took a deep breath then said "First Assassination Bureau"

Alan looked at them, he wasn't sure how to react. Chewing his lip, he nodded slowly "ok…I think I get it now, but that doesn't make it right that you kept it from me…" he mumbled. Scott explained that what he saw on TV, was an illusion to make the Hood think they were doing his work, "I will introduce you to the minister later we had to sedate them when we arrived here don't want everyone knowing our locations."

"Let's see what's on the rest of dads file" Scott said as they all headed towards the main reception area. Scott asked Gordon if he had heard from Brains or John? "No Scott, comms are still down." Gordon said, but something was nagging him. Virgil moved to the video console but before he could plug in the drive a holographic projection of earth appeared Virgil laughed "hey that was not me" holding his hands up. The hologram began to change zooming in on Tracy Island, the brothers looked at each other, when the hologram changed again. The brothers looked stunned as there was the man their father had been hunting for all these years. "Hello boys, I thought it would be nice to meet the sons of Jeff and Lucy in person so to speak and to say goodbye" he began to laugh as Tracy island appeared again this time with three red dots approaching fast.

Johns head was spinning what the hell had happened, he staggered to the main viewer were he saw Tracy Island and three missiles only seconds away he moved to the communication transmitter, but before he could utter a word the missiles struck with devastating force, John fell to his knees and screamed at the screen "NO!" tears welled up in his eyes as he knew no one could possibly survive.

John put his hand to his head and felt his hair wet his head began to spin again as he realised he was looking at his own blood he fell to the floor, as he lay there he thought he saw a shadow.
