Monday 30th January. 12.30pm. Thunderbird Five.

John Tracy sat back and watched the M.W.A.N. news broadcast he had been monitoring, making a few amendments on his electronic notepad. Not only did he have to answer any emergency calls that came in for International Rescue, but he also had to keep an ear out for situations that could possibly escalate into a life-or-death situation for some unfortunate person. Around him, the monitoring equipment of the high-tech space station hummed, and the circulated air floated lazily about him.

John rolled his eyes as an article on world politics came up - 'What a joke.' - but the newsreader finally got to the story he was waiting for.

"Today the search finally came to an end for missing teenagers Gerard Fennel. The seventeen-year-old from Topeka, Kansas, went missing from his home three days ago. He was found gagged and tied up in an abandoned cabin deep within a forest twenty miles away from the city. The authorities are in no doubt that this was a kidnap, and looking for clues as to the kidnapper's whereabouts.

Gerard was found by LifeFlight volunteer Dominic Kelly, who was part of the team that were called in to assist in the search both in the air and on the ground. Earlier, M.W.A.N. reporter Gavin Belle got this exclusive interview."


John leaned in, pulling blond hair from his eyes, and listened closely as a young, dark-haired and pale-skinned man appeared on the monitor. When he spoke, John recognised his accent as Irish. 'That's odd...'

"LifeFlight were called in to search for Gerard as we are a search and rescue organisation. He was found tied up, and as such had severe abrasions to his wrists. There was evidence that he had been punched and kicked several times. We flew him to hospital immediately, and we all agree that if he hadn't been found within the next few hours, he likely would not have survived."

John made a few more amendments to his notepad and sat back again. He was very glad to stroke the disappearance of the young man off his list. It would never have been a case for IR, but it had been in his native Kansas, and it would have been a tragedy if he had been found too late.

He changed the channel to another news broadcast as the MWAN one finished. LifeFlight did good work, he mused. He flicked to another screen in his notepad, and began taking notes once more.
