"Well boys you see..." Jeff began "Aidan Stalin, as you guessed from the letter, was a bomber. He found pleasure in murdering others after what happened to his wife and 3 kids." Scott spoke up.

"What happened Dad, I mean we've had grief and so had the hood, and although we didn't take it exactly the same way as each other, the hood really only intended to get back at us. What could make a guy so obsessed to go against the whole world?" Jeff held a hand up and Scott let him continue

"As I was saying, he started because of what happened to his family. But his reason was different to ours and the hoods. His family wasn't killed by accident" he emphasised the word; all the others looked to the father as though he had just told them the most horrific thing. That one word stung on Jeff as he knew something the boys didn't but continued his story either way.

"You see his family were killed by gang members. Aidan was part of a gang that cheated and stole for a living but they were very threatening. When Aidan decided to get up and leave to be there for the birth of his 4th child. Unfortunately the gang members didn't want this, and in revenge they lured the family out of the house and brutally murdered them." Everyone froze, Scott and John increased their hold on their respective siblings as the other two Tracy's shivered and Gordon suddenly felt ill. "But that's not the worst of it." Jeff continued. "You see the gang members were disguised as rescue workers to lure the family away without raising suspicion. Aidan soon caught up with the murderers of his family and shot them all one by one." Gordon shook again then turned to his father.

"Dad is that why he killed lots of people?" he asked innocently. Jeff nodded. But then spoke again.

"But that's not the whole reason. You see when he killed them, they were still dressed as rescue workers, and Aidan was too blinded with rage to recognise them. He swore revenge on any rescue workers, from the police, to the fire brigade, to the air rescue. And to the thunderbirds. He killed millions of people because he knew it would attract rescue workers. And either he set of explosions if they were in buildings, or shot them in cold blood at other times." All Tracy boys tensed up now, even Jeff did reliving the tale.

"You see on that mission in New Orleans, he set off that bomb and caused the death of those 17 people. Now normally he get's away with all of it but this time, I think it was John who caught him, after breaking his leg first." All the brothers looked at John, who started to blush.

"Erm... I don't remember doing that." He pointed out. He glared at Gordon who was giving him the "Mr-modest" eyes. Jeff smiled.

"You wouldn't have, because he knocked you out while you were trying to keep hold of him. He got caught once again, with a broken leg slowing him down he had no chance. John, you and Scott won't have remembered because, Scott was knocked unconscious in the building when it collapsed, but he was just fine just a bad headache." He added quickly seeing his son's frightened looks. When you came round you didn't remember a thing, either of you. But as he was caught, he threatened us, saying he would get revenge on me and you guys." Scott's face turned to one of anger.

"But why didn't you tell us this dad, we could have had a chance of stopping him from kidnapping Allie!" he yelled, Jeff held his hands up again.

"Scott I know your gonna be angry with me but let me tell you first hand, everybody thought the same as me. He was sentenced to death; there was no way he could have gotten out of that. But obviously he did. I never even knew about it. But I so wanted him dead. So very much for what he did!" Jeff's face was now one of anger all of his boys were still.

"Dad, there's something else apart from kidnapping Alan that's got you so steamed you isn't there?" Virgil asked. Jeff looked at him and nodded, still scowling.

"The avalanche was NO accident!" he all but yelled. All of them didn't know what he was talking about, until it came to them in an instant, and they all shared the same threatening looks as their father. Scott swore and Jeff didn't bother to stop him.

"That monster, we nearly lost both Alan and John too, what kind of idiot would start an Avalanche on a harmless family!" Virgil shouted. After much yelling and swearing, they all managed to calm down, but finally realised the severity of the situation.

"Dad, we've got to get him back. Who knows what that monster could do? He even said in the note that Allie was safe for now. How long until Alan gets seriously hurt?" John asked, obviously fearful for his baby brother. Jeff nodded.

"I know that John. But I don't know what we can do. He hasn't said anything about not calling the police, but every other monster we've come across has always gotten worse when the authorities get involved. And he knows who we are, so if we go in the Thunderbirds, he might hurt Alan more. We've got to think this out. Got to do it without risks of Alan getting hurt." Gordon slowly raised his hand. This seemed weird since he wasn't at school but Scott answered him anyway.

"What's up Gords?" he asked his little brother.

"How are we supposed to find him? TB5's outta commission and if we try to talk to him on his wristwatch he could be caught." Jeff pondered that thought when John spoke up.

"Gordy you're a genius!" he exclaimed. Gordon looked at him puzzled.

"I am?" John nodded.

"You said we can't talk to Allie through his watch in case he gets caught. But what's to stop him from talking to us when he gets a chance." Scott looked at John.

"Yeah but Johnny, I think the kids gonna be a little bit scared to be thinking of his watch." All of them looked down until they heard a voice they never thought they would hear for a while.

"Dad, Scotty, Gordy, anybody. I want to go home please, I want to go home!"
