The Tracy Women Part 3 Becca

Disclaimer: None of the Thunderbirds characters belong to me.

Thanks for the reviews. Chelsia will be back later and I'm sorry to say Katzen but I'm going to be just as mean to Scott as I was to John and Virgil.

Chapter 4: A Familiar Face.

"How was the reunion Scott?" asked Virgil.

"Fine," he replied.

"How was Becca?" he asked hoping Scott would just open up but knowing he probably wouldn't.

"Fine."

"So what happened then?"

"Nothing."

"Aren't we talkative today," joked Virgil trying to lighten the mood a little. It didn't work.

"Go away Virgil," said Scott. He didn't want to talk about what had happened at the reunion.

"Talk to me Scott. I know something happened," he said approaching his older brother.

"I don't want to Virgil. Just drop it," he said angrily.

"Come on Scott. I'm your brother talk to me. I know how much Becca meant to you," he said touching his shoulder. Scott turned round to face his younger brother. He knew Virgil wasn't going to give up easily so he gave in. To be honest he did want to talk about it.

"Ok. I will tell you but it can't leave this room," he said knowing that Gordon would tease him mercilessly if he found out.

"It wont so what happened," said Virgil sitting down on the bed.

"I met up with Becca. We had a great time and ended up back in my hotel room," he paused for a moment.

"Oh yeah," said Virgil grinning.

"Oh no. She ran out on me. One minute we were kissing, the next she pushed me off and ran out of the room," he said sitting on the bed beside Virgil.

"Didn't she say anything?"

"Yeah she said she was sorry."

"There is probably a good reason for it Scott. Have you spoken to her since?"

"No. Getting rejected in person was bad enough. I don't want to be rejected in writing or over the phone too."

"Scott it may not be that. You really should speak to her."

"Fine. I will email her," he said going over to his laptop. The screen flashed up telling him he had an email from the person in question. Virgil wandered over. The email read.

Dear Scott

I am sorry about running out on you. It had nothing to do with you I swear. It is just something I have to deal with and I'm not doing a great job so far. I know this probably makes no sense to you at all but I can't really explain it like this. I really am sorry. Give me a call sometime. It was good to see you and catch up

Love Bex.

"You really should call her Scott," said Virgil.

"I dunno," he replied reading the email once more.

"At least email her so she doesn't think you hate her Scott."

"Yeah I will. Thanks for listening Virge," he said smiling at his brother. Virgil left Scott to it. He was glad Scott had opened up to him. They had drifted apart a little ever since he got married. Virgil made a pact with himself to make more effort with his older brother. He knew Maddie wouldn't mind as she didn't want to come between them.

Scott sat down at his desk once more and wondered what to write. It had to sound sincere but not overly friendly. He was still a little put out by the rejection.

Dear Bex

It's ok really and it was great to catch up. I did have a good night. I will keep in touch

Scott

Alan and Lucie entered the lounge from Thunderbird 3's silo. Alan had been teaching her to fly Thunderbird 3.

"How did it go?" asked Jeff. He had been a bit worried about his daughter in law becoming a relief pilot for Thunderbird 3.

"It was great Lucie is a natural," replied Alan and he smiled at her. She had taken to it so easily.

"Yeah it was a lot of fun," she added. It was great to be a part of all of this. She knew John wasn't overly happy but he would get used to it.

"When would you like to begin your training on Thunderbird 5?" asked Jeff. They had decided to train her up there as well so they had another person who could go up there if needed. Lucie had no objections like John she loved being up in space.

"As soon as you want me to dad," she replied.

"Ok I will organise it," he said as John's eyes began to flash.

"Go ahead son."

"We have a mini bus full of kids trapped on a cliff edge in Pennington England. Local services are on the scene but they don't have the equipment to move everyone quick enough," said John and Jeff raised the alarm around the house. The others soon arrived.

"Scott take Thunderbird 1 and head to England. John will tell you more on the way. Alan, Gordon you had better both go with Virgil," ordered Jeff. The boys all took their positions and were off.

Scott landed at the danger zone and took in the scene. It was pretty bad. The mini bus was balancing precariously on the edge and there were ten kids and a teacher trapped. There had been a land slide above which had taken out the road. The captain of the local rescue services came over.

"It's good to see you," he announced smiling.

"Hi. Is there anyone up there with them?" he asked. He thought he had seen some climbing ropes nearby.

"Yeah one of my men went up there to keep them calm and check for injuries," he replied. Scott suddenly realized he was the captain of SRS which meant Becca could be here soon. Luckily the bloke had said one of his men so perhaps she had a day off.

Thunderbird 2 quickly approached the scene. They would have to lower the platform from above and hope the vertical jets didn't tip the minibus over. Alan went down on the platform.

"Hi there," he said to the rescuer.

"Hiya," came the reply and Alan found himself staring at a very familiar face. He hoped she wouldn't recognize him.

"Looks like you are all getting a ride in Thunderbird 2. Cool hey," she said turning back to the kids. She had a feeling she recognized the man but she didn't know where from.

"Ok let's get you all on the platform," said Alan and he began organizing the children. It took them three trips and they were now on the last. The rescuer had stayed with the minibus and one young girl who had a broken leg.

"Right your turn Sarah," she said and smiled at the young girl. They soon had her on the platform. Suddenly a gust of wind blew and the minibus began to fall. The young rescuer was still standing on it but luckily Alan grabbed her in time. As she fell against his chest she gazed up into his baby blue eyes and suddenly knew who he was. She pulled away and drew her attention back to Sarah.

Virgil landed Thunderbird 2 and the rescuer went off with the teacher and kids. Alan breathed a sigh of relief.

"Did you recognise her Gords?" he asked his brother.

"Yeah that was Becca wasn't it," he replied. They had all known that Becca and Scott had met up again but only Virgil knew what had actually happened.

"Yes it was. I just hope she didn't recognise me," replied Alan as he watched her waving to the kids. Her captain then bought her back over.

"We just wanted to thank you for all your help today," he said smiling. Becca walked up to Gordon and hugged him. She then whispered in his ear.

"Well done on the Gold Medal."

She repeated the gesture to Alan but instead whispered.

"I always knew you would do something great. Keep it up Allie."

"Come on Bex. We better get back to base," said her captain and they walked away right past Scott. Becca looked over her shoulder at him and smiled. Scott turned to Alan and Gordon but before he could speak Gordon interrupted.

"Yes that was Becca and yes she knows who we are," he said looking at them both.

"Oh great," said Scott sarcastically.

"What does it matter Scott. It's not like she will tell everyone," said Alan wondering why his brother was acting so weirdly.

"How do you know Alan. It's been a long time," argued Scott. He had to admit he didn't think Becca would tell anyone but it had been a while. She may have changed a lot since they all knew her.

"Nah she wouldn't. I trust her," replied Alan and they all set off back to Thunderbird 2. Scott wondered how he was going to tell his father.

Authors Note: So should Scott be worried about her splling the beans and what will his dad say. Plus something for you to ponder what is Becca hiding from Scott that caused her to do a runner?
