Alan woke up with clouded vision. He looked around at his surroundings and saw that he was in a cage of some sort. The walls were black and stony, the bars and the cage must have been made with a huge amount of lead because they were so wide. Alan tried standing up but then fell over once more; he looked at his ankle and remembered the mission before. If his ankle was sprained before it must have been broken by now. All of sudden a noise of the cage opening brought Alan out of his thoughts and a tallish man stepped into the cage.

"Why hello there Alan, so glad I could finally meet you in person." The tall man spoke. Alan looked at him confusedly.

"Do I know you?" He asked. The man laughed.

"Well not properly let me introduce myself. My name is Aidan Stalin and you father and I…well we have previously met." Alan was still confused so the man bent down to his level. "You see your father was a rescue worker, as are your brothers, which you are well aware of. What you probably aren't aware of his that I despise rescue workers. Always getting in the way of my plans. "Alan was suddenly frightened.

"Then w…what do you want with me." He hauled himself up against the wall, using the foot that was alright to balance on. Aidan smirked.

"You see Alan, your family are the reason I have you here. They are the reason I lost my family, they are the reason all my plans have been halted they NEARLY SENTENCED ME TO DEATH!" he all but shouted. Alan drew back in fear. Aidan breathed in. "But no more, now I have there most valuable member of their team with me here. You." He pointed at him. He began walking up to him and Alan tried to back into the corner but his busted ankle was making it difficult.

"You b…better be care…careful because my family will s…stop at nothing to help me." He stated trying not to be scared. Aidan walked up to and slapped him across the face knocking Alan to the floor. Alan whimpered as he was knocked off balance.

"Oh I don't think so Alan, you see we're on a remote Island it will make it virtually impossible for them to trace us. This island is completely fool proof. Say goodbye to your family. Oh and if they do come, they won't last long enough to get through the front door." He cackled and walked away slamming the cage door and leaving Alan on the floor in misery. Alan rolled up his sleeve when Aidan left to check his injuries. It was slightly bruised but what really caught his eye was that he was wearing his thunderbirds Watch still. He could call the guys. Pressing the 2 buttons on the side of the watch and began to speak into it. When no one replied he set his head down. It didn't work. Then…

"ALAN!" he heard he had to quickly cover his watch over in case Aidan came back. Luckily he didn't

"Sprout are you OK" He heard Scott yell.

"Scotty, that you?" he asked quietly. Alan winced at the sound of his voice through the watch; he didn't really want to scare his family.

"Yeah sprout it's us, how are you doing?" Alan smiled as he heard Gordon's voice somewhere in the background.

"Yeah I'm Okay," he replied weakly.

"Yeah I'm Okay" they heard him reply. Scott grabbed onto the nearest bench to steady his nerves at hearing his baby speak like that. Jeff felt the same thing except had a little more self-control.

"Alan what is it like there, have you met your captor yet?" He asked cautiously. Alan replied quietly.

"Uh huh, he knew me, and he knows who we are." Jeff bowed his head. Gordon grabbed onto Virgil for comfort and Virgil wrapped an arm round him unconsciously. "He's called Aiden Stalin; he says you ruined his life, what's he talking about Dad?" Alan asked. Gordon walked up to the screen.

"Sprout, we have met him…well Scott and John have at least." Alan took a shaky breath.

"What did you do to make him wanna get back at us?" He asked innocently. Jeff shook his head this is petrify him he thought

"Alan we...err... well you see he was up for the death penalty and we wee the reason." They heard Alan gasp on the other end.

"What did he do to get him there then?" he asked once more this time Gordon answered.

"Listen sprout you don't need to know the details, all you need to remember is that this guy is FAR from good news, we don't know exactly what he's capable of, but we do know he's hell-bent on getting back at us hero's." He said blatantly. Deliberately leaving out the fact that he was a bombing murderer and he was responsible for the death of their mother. Jeff looked towards Gordon and gave a sympathetic smile to which Gordon returned. John suddenly voiced one f the boys many thoughts.

"Sprout, has he...hurt you in any way yet?" he asked fearing the answer. Alan took another shaky breath is he crying John thought suddenly.

"Actually he hit me in the face when I told him that you guys were coming, I think he's dead set on making sure you're not gonna make it. But that's not true right guys." There was a pause "guys?" The young Tracy asked again. Virgil spoke up.

"Allie, don't ever think that we won't come for you, even when it seems at the worst of times, I want you to know that we're gonna bring you back home, safe and with your family. Not some hypocritical monster!" he barely avoided himself from shouting. Gordon decided humour was intended around about here as to keep Alan's sanity together.

"Yeah, then we'll tie you up in your room, lock the doors and window's and stick Tin-Tin in there with a box of chocolate chip cookies, because we all know that's what you'd want right sprout." He heard Alan laughing quietly.

"You know me too well Gordy." He reprimanded "But let me guess, you're not gonna be in charge of the cookies because they won't make it too my room by the time you've left the kitchen." He joked. John internally smirked. "Those two will never change" he thought.

"You know me too well also sprout." The two continued joking until Alan suddenly stopped. "What's wrong Al?" he asked. Alan breathed fearfully

"He's coming back!"

"He's coming back!" Alan yelled quietly. He took quick, short gasps as he heard the footsteps nearing. He felt tears fall down his face and made no effort to stop them as he quickly covered his watch up. Quickly muffling the worried voices of his brothers he forcefully shut his eyes. Although it was unnecessary as the footsteps died away and Alan soon realised that Aidan wasn't even coming for him. And he gently let a few sobs out at the thought of being safe. He rolled up his sleeve once more letting his family hear him once more.

"G...Guy's are you st...Still there." He stuttered, trying to keep his tears at bay, but kind of failing.

"Allie are you okay, is he gone" Alan tried to respond but felt his mouth wouldn't correspond with what he wanted to say

"Don't... gone...scared... don't" he stopped as he figured his brother's probably had no idea what he was on about.

"Allie it's okay don't talk just..." John didn't have a clue about what to say to his baby brother to calm him down "Get some rest, I promise, it will all be okay." Alan let out a shaky laugh.

"What? Sleep? Here? Please tell me you're kidding?" Alan had a feeling that John wasn't.

"Alan, I know it will be hard, but you have to trust me. Getting some sleep will calm your nerves a little. But before you do..." Alan heard some muttering in the background "Hold down the blue and green buttons on the side of your watch. It'll enable us to hear everything that is happening but you won't be able to hear us until you press them again." Alan had no idea what this was until he remembered. Brains had developed the watches to do this in an emergency situation where one end of the conversation needed to be heard but the other could not be heard. "It'll keep you safe so that you only contact us when you feel it's safe. That way we won't catch you if Aidan is there, but we can hear everything possible, so he might give us some clue as to where you are." It made sense Alan thought.

"Well okay...I guess it'll work. Goodbye guys." He said solemnly. He heard them all say quick goodbye's before he proceeded with pressing the buttons. And as hard as it was, He managed to fall asleep, left with the hope that the thunderbirds would save him.
