Previously:

"is this everyone now?" Kieron asked "everyone I said would be interested" Calum replied "good, my name is Kieron Tracy, I work for International Rescue, and I'm here because we need some more pilots, and from what Calum has told me, you lot sound like with a bit of training, you could do just nicely." Kieron explained. With no reply, Kieron spoke up again "I'll give you some time to think it over, it's a big change if you want to." He told them stepping outside and closing the door. "ok there's a lot to think about, first off what do we do about our 'abilities'?" Heather asked, a little worried "what we've done our whole lives, keep them quiet, don't say a word about them and only use them when we are nowhere near other people, this new job, our abilities may come in handy!" Braedey told Heather. "that's a good plan." Calum replied, "so what do we tell him?" Jamie asked "whether we're in or not" Calum replied, "it's a decision only you can make, you and you alone." Jamie told the team as Kieron re-entered the room "so what's it going to be?" he asked...

"Scott you're blind!" Gordon yelled as Scott shut the door to their father's office. "you still have your twin, spend what time you have left with her-" Gordon continued to yell at Scott. "thank you for your concern Gordon but me and Kiara fell out years ago, we never get along and we probably never will. You and Georgia were close-" Scott began but Gordon cut him off. "close? Scott only death could ever separate us!" Gordon yelled, again. "and it did," Scott said, completely monotone "what's that supposed to mean?" Gordon snapped "exactly what was said" Scott replied "Georgia fucking drowned trying to save me, not the most glamourous of deaths, not for a hero like her!" Gordon yelled even louder. "boo hoo, you don't have your prank buddy!" Scott replied "boys!" their father's voice cut through the tension in the air like a knife. "stop your squabbling, Thunderbird 2 is missing!" Jeff snapped. Scott and Gordon ran over to the computer to look at Thunderbird 2's hanger, empty. "so are your son and daughter." Jeff informed. Scott and Gordon looked at each other in pure fear. "just checked with Brains, Briony left over an hour ago, when Ivy showed up. Dove is the only one that can operate two-" Virgil began but Scott cut him off "and Kieron" Scott added. "slight problem with that Scotty, your son is still in his hideout" Virgil stated showing Scott Kieron's lab, and Kieron sat in it, working on something. "any idea where this is?" Scott asked. Kieron had kept the location of his lab a secret from the rest of the family so he could work on something without being disturbed. "your son's lab" Gordon replied smugly. "I know that dipshit!" Scott snapped, clearly not happy "Scott language!" Jeff hissed. "get told Scotty" Gordon smirked "Gordon doesn't annoy him even more" Jeff warned, splitting up yet another argument between Scott and Gordon. "found a trick to see if it's a hologram or not" Kayo announced walking into the room only to start typing something on the computer. "what is it, love?" Scott asked looking over to what Kayo was doing. "it's simple, we call Kieron's lab, if he moves, he's genuinely there, if not, it's a hologram" kayo announced "that's genius! Scott realized, "ok calling him now." Kayo announced.

"I have no idea about anyone else but I'm in!" Calum smiled. "sounds like a good opportunity, I'm in" Braedey spoke up. "if Braedey is going, I'm going too, he needs someone to drive him up the wall!" Heather laughed, punching Braedey in the arm. "we're in" the twins said in unison. "I better make sure the twins don't destroy each other, so I'm in" Jamie smiled. "that's great to hear, now come on we've got limited time to pick up you guys, the rest of the team and get back to base, so let's go!" Kieron announced walking out the door, before walking back through it "I have no idea of the way out" he laughed awkwardly "come on, out this door left, then right" Calum smiled showing Kieron the layout of the hideout. "I'll just follow you a lot" he shrugged. "then let's get going," Braedey said, almost dragging Heather.

(Thunderbird 2)

"he should be back by now" Dove growled, looking at the digital clock on the dashboard "Dove are you there?" her dad's voice rang through her earpiece. "aw snap. Kieron we're busted hurry the hell up!" Dove semi-yelled into her earpiece. "so, Kieron is with you as well? That's good to know" Virgil replied, sounding rather smug. Dove's face was utter disapproval. This time she checked the channel she was using. This time it was Kieron. "Kieron hurry the hell up my dad is onto us!" she hissed "ok, ok, calm down. I'm almost done, give it 10 minutes to get back to Thunderbird 2" Kieron replied, still fairly chilled. "Kieron, WE DON'T HAVE 10 FUCKING MINUTES! GET YOUR FIREY ASS BACK HERE NOW!" Dove yelled. There was radio silence for a total of 10 seconds before a rather smug "ya finished?" Kieron asked, causing Dove to hang up. Minutes later the whole team were strapped into Thunderbird 2 and ready for take-off. "right let's get to the Pink Palace, get the others and get back home and act like nothing happened." Kieron ordered. "slight problem with the 'act like nothing happened' part of your plan" Dove informed, "and that is?" Kieron asked looking a little worried. "that" Dove replied as Kieron's pad started to ring, his mother was calling him via the coms point in his lab. "I better hope this works" Kieron sighed pulling out a glove with masses of wires and circuits attached. "and that is?" Dove asked, "something that makes my mother think I'm sat in my lab!" Kieron smiled, as he tapped the answer button on his wrist at the same time he reached forward, almost poking at thin air "hi mum" he answered "Kieron, can you please explain to me how you're in two places at once?" Kayo asked, "two places at once, that's impossible!" Kieron laughed "ok so how are you in your lab AND in Thunderbird 2 with Dove?" Kayo asked next, Kieron didn't respond. "well young man I'm waiting!" Kayo could be very persuasive at times. "Spill it cousin" Dove mumbled "Dove hush!" Kieron hissed "Dove will you tell me?" Kayo asked "what would you like to know auntie Kayo" Dove smiled, only for Kieron to send her a glare that said 'don't you dare'. "who or what are you bringing to the island?" Kayo asked "some friends of Kieron's!" Dove replied, still smiling. "and do you have names for these friends?" Kayo asked, "Kieron does!" Dove smiled "yeah I do, want them?" he asked, kinda nervous. "if you're bringing people to the island we need to be able to trust them, so yes I would like to know who you are bringing home!" Kayo replied, almost scaring Kieron ad Dove. "here they are: Calum Wood, Jamie Corbishaly, Braedey Martin, Elizabeth and Georgina Corbishaly, Heather Martin and Zara wants to pilot Thunderbird Ghost." Kieron explained, "and what makes you think your father will let your sister back home?" Kayo asked. "I haven't a clue, but he will let her back onto the island, I'll come up with something, soon?" Kieron winced. Kayo sighed, "I'll get on the phone to Kiara in New York!" Kayo smiled. "Thanks, mum, and if you want you can run background checks on the people I'm bringing home, you already have their names." Kieron smiled "thanks love, I think I will" Kayo smiled and hung up. "So, we're still alive?" Dove asked, "so far yes when we land, that maybe it." Kieron winced. "Welp landing in London now, to collect Zarah, Ivy, Briony and Thorn," Dove told Kieron "good, I'll bring them up to the cockpit with us, talk to the guests in the meantime," Kieron told Dove before leaving the cockpit.
