<in thunderbird 2>
(Third person p.o.v)
When Virgil and Gordon got to the area, where the Hood's ship was Virgil took a scan of the ship to see where the prison cells was and the scan showed that the cells was beneath the ship.
"Ok Gordon you ready to do this?" Virgil asked
Gordon was a bit nervous about this rescue so he took a deep breath and then said.
"Yeah I'm ready Virgil. Don't worry, I'll get Alan out of there"
"I know you will." Said Virgil whilst patting Gordon's shoulder.
Gordon got up from his seat and went to launch thunderbird 4 into the ocean.
[In Thunderbird 4]
Once Gordon was in thunderbird 4, he put the stealth mode on then followed thunderbird 4 scanner towards where the prison cells was.
When Gordon found the windows to where the prison cells was on the ship, he was about to submerge not in till he saw an air lock on the bottom of the ship and that gave Gordon an idea.
"Hey Virgil, I might have a better idea to get into the Hoods ship." Gordon said through his radio.
"What idea is that Gordon?" Virgil called back.
"There's an air lock on the bottom of the ship so if I connect the air lock to thunderbird 4 then I'll be able to get into the ship get Alan and get out without being seen." Gordon suggested.
There was a long pause for a minute then Virgil called back saying.
"Gordon do go through the air lock because I've been tracking Alan's life signal and it's gone badly faint. Just quickly get him out of there."
Gordon didn't waste no time getting to the air lock. Once he was under the air lock he connected thunderbird 4 to it with the tunnel and once he got the lock opened he went into the ship.
[In The Hood's ship]
When Gordon was in the ship, he immediately went looking for the prison cells. Once he found the prison cells, he saw 2 guards coming out of one cell so Gordon hide in a corner so they wouldn't see him. When the guards went past, Gordon he heard them say.
"The kid is a tough one to crack."
"I know but our master said we have to keep trying to get that information he wants from the boy. The boy already have enough beaten into him."
"Let's take a break for now. We'll try something else on the kid later."
Soon as they left, Gordon came out of his hiding place and was shocked to hear what those guards said about what they've done to Alan.
When Gordon got to the cell where Alan was, he tried to get the door open but had no luck. It was then Gordon saw a hand scanner on the side and remembered Parker's hacking trick.
"Thank you Parker." Gordon said to himself.
Gordon went into his pocket and pulled out a piece of chewing gum. Gordon started to chew the gum, once he chewed the gum, he broke off bits of it and stuck it on each of his fingers. Once he had gum all over his fingers on his right hand he then put his hand on the scanner which read the fingertips from one of the Hood's men then the door opened and Gordon went in.
[In the cell]
When Gordon was in the cell, he couldn't believe his eyes. There he saw Alan on the floor all tied up and gagged, looking lifeless. Gordon got down to floor next Alan then started to untie him. Once Alan was untied, Gordon sat him up against the wall and tried talking to him.
"Al can hear me? It's Gordon." Gordon asked whilst leaning his arm on Alan's shoulder.
"Gordon is that you" Alan breathlessly said without opening his eyes.
Gordon can see from the light coming from the outside the cell that Alan was badly hurt. He had cuts all over his body and face, his pulse was weak, he had a big cut in his left forearm, a nasty head injury, he was moaning and was struggling to keep his eyes open. Gordon couldn't believe the state Alan was in but knew that he had to get Alan out so he gently got Alan to his feet.
"Gordon what are you doing?"Alan faintly asked whilst trying to stand up.
"Getting you out of here bro. You're coming home with me." Gordon said whilst picking Alan up in a bridal way.
Once Gordon had Alan in his arms, he quickly got him out of the cell and in to the corridor.
(In the corridor
When Gordon was in the corridor with Alan, he was stopped by two guards.
"How did you get in here?"
"You and your brother ain't leaving this ship alive."
Gordon got annoyed what the guards said to him and Alan.
"If you 2 two think I'm staying here after what you did to my brother. Think again I'm getting out of here and I'm taking my brother with me." Gordon angrily said to the guards.
The guards started to go up to Gordon but thankfully Gordon dodge right past them but unfortunately one of the guards cut the side of his right arm with a knife but Gordon kept going to the air lock with Alan still in his arms.
Once Gordon and Alan got to the air lock, Gordon put Alan down so he could put his helmet on. Once he got his helmet on, Gordon grabbed Alan's from his other side but just before he put it on him, Alan breathlessly said to him.
"Gordon your arm's bleeding. Are you going to able to pilot Thunderbird 4?"
"Don't worry about me Al. Let's just get you out of here and get you some medical help. Ok?" Gordon then said.
Alan nodded his head then Gordon gently put the helmet on Alan. Once Alan had his helmet on Gordon opened the air lock and once it was opened Gordon turned to Alan.
"Ok Al listen to me ok. I connected thunderbird 4's tunnel to this air lock, I'm going to climb down it first and once I'm in I'm going to help you in without causing more pain to you than you already are. Ok?"
"F.A.B" Alan said just before starting to black out.
"No, no, no Alan please you need to try and stay awake for me. I know you're in so much pain but you've got try and stay awake." Gordon begged.
Alan listened to what Gordon just told him and did tried to stay awake in the best way that he could. Once Alan did what Gordon told him to do, Gordon then helped Alan to walk towards the air lock and when they got there Gordon went in first. After he got in, Gordon then helped Alan to get his legs in the lock. When Alan was in the tunnel, Gordon then closed the air lock door and helped guide Alan to get into Thunderbird 4.
[In thunderbird 4]
When they got back into Thunderbird 4, Gordon disconnected the air tunnel from the Hood's ships air lock. Once Gordon got the tunnel back in, he then laid Alan on one of the benches and put an oxygen mask on him. After sorting Alan out, Gordon was about to drive thunderbird 4 till Alan stopped him.
"Gordon if you drive thunderbird 4, you'll cause more damage to your arm"
"Don't worry about me Alan. I'll manage it. I just want you to keep taking breaths from the mask and to keep talking to me while I'm driving. Don't close your eyes. Ok?"
Alan understood what Gordon was telling him to do even though he was badly in pain he had to stay awake.
Just before starting to drive thunderbird 4 Gordon tightly tied a bandage around his  arm to try and stop himself to lose anymore blood. Once he sorted himself out, he drove thunderbird 4 up towards to surface while the stealth mode was still on. Just then, Gordon had a call from Virgil.
"Gordon what your status? I lost contact with you when you went in the ship. Have you got Alan with you?"
"Yeah, I've got Alan but we have to get him to a hospital because he's badly injured and is struggling to stay awake." Gordon said while trying to ignore the pain from his arm.
"Gordon what happened to your arm? Your bleeding?" Virgil worriedly asked.
"One of the guards cut my arm with a knife when I dodged past them while I was carrying Alan." Gordon replied back and was now in serious pain from his arm.
"Gordon just hang on you're not far away from thunderbird 2." Virgil reassuringly said back to Gordon.
Gordon clenching his teeth nodded yes to Virgil then switched Thunderbird 4 on to autopilot. After setting the course on the autopilot, Gordon staggered to the back of thunderbird 4 and sat right beside Alan.
"Told you not to drive. You never listen do you?" Alan quietly whispered.
"Don't you start Al. I've had enough of that from Scott, Virgil and Grandma Tracy." Gordon chuckled.
"Gordon will you do something for me?" Alan pleadingly asked.
"What's that little brother?" Gordon replied whilst starting to feel dizzy.
"When you see Scott tell him that I didn't tell the Hood anything." Alan quietly said then passed out.
Gordon started to panic. He tried to wake up Alan but had no luck. Alan couldn't wake up. Gordon was nearly passing out as well. Just before he passed out, he whispered to Alan.
"Don't worry Al, I'll tell Scott when I see him." Gordon whispered then he blacked out while holding Alan's hand.
