Thunderbirds:lightspeed rescue

Truth revealed part 1

"What?! But how? You told us he died in that car crash!" Alan examined

"he didn't," Jeff said grimly and turned towards his elder sons "I didn't tell you the whole story"

"well?" John said raising an eyebrow at him

*flashback*

Jeff carefully drove the car along the slippery road, it was late and he had taken his sons to the fair along with their grandma, however, it was past his youngest sons bedtime and he decided to take them home while the older ones stayed back to watch the fireworks, not that they'll be one as it was raining. Both Alan and Gordon were playing with their new rocket and submarine at the back, Jeff glanced back for a second, and saw them happily playing but frowned when he noticed their seatbelts were off. Before he could scold them he heard honking and saw a truck heading towards them, he quickly swerved to the right to avoid it but as the road was slippery he went too far and went through the railing, he quickly leaned back and grabbed his sons and tumbled out of the car.

He managed to grab a root and the side with Alan in his other arm and Gordon hanging to his leg he watched as the car fell to the ground and exploded, the explosion shook him and to his horror Gordon slipped down his leg and grabbed on to his shoe.

"dad, please help me!" Gordon cried

"Just hold on squid, just hold on!" Jeff begged

"dad, please help me! Dad, I'm slipping!" Gordon cried again

"No! No! just, just hang on Gordon, please!" Jeff begged

"I can't, I'm slipping!" Gordon cried again and to Jeff's horror, he could slowly feel his shoe starting to slide off

"Gordon!"

"daddy, I'm scared!" Alan cried

Help! Somebody please help!" Jeff cried and he felt his hand slipping from the branch, suddenly a strange glow appeared in front of Jeff and it revealed to be The Mechanic

"I can help," he said,

"go away!"

"but if I save his life he belongs to me!"

"dad!" Jeff looked down and Gordon's begging face and harden his expression

"never!"

"The choice is yours," The Mechanic said and disappeared

"I'm slipping!" Gordon cried again, more despite

"no!"

"DAD!" Gordon cried out as Jeff's shoe slipped off completely and Gordon began to fall towards the burning debris of the car

"GORDON!" Jeff cried in tears as he watched his son get closer to the ground "SAVE HIM!" he cried to The Mechanic, feeling a contraction of guilt in his throat as he watched the demon fly towards his son and catch him just inches from the fire, he then floated up to Jeff with a sleeping Gordon in his arms, he chuckled evilly and he gently stroked Gordon's head.

"please, I'll do anything. Just let me have my son!" Jeff begged

"you will not see your son until his twentieth birthday. He is mine now!" with that The Mechanic disappeared along with Gordon

"NO!" Jeff cried, clutching tighter to the branch above him and Alan, a few minutes later he heard the sound of sirens and heard people talking into a radio, soon a young man wearing a fireman's jacket was being gently lowered to him by a cable.

"sir, are you alright?" the fireman asked him

"my son" Jeff whispered, looking down and the fireman winced in sympathy
