Brandon sat between Dominic and Gordon, nervously tapping his foot against the metal floor. He was on his first rescue mission; one he hadn't expected so soon. Dominic looked over at him, noticing the anxiety he projected.

Dominic met Brandon's gaze and shared the nervous look. Although he had been on rescues with LifeFlight, they had been nothing like this, and they had never been to save his boss.

Gordon knew that both men were nervous: hell, so was he! This was his father they were going out to save! He took a deep breath. "Guys, I know you're nervous. We all are. Just focus on the task at hand and we'll all be fine. We'll all do fine."

The rescue capsule descended rapidly, and soon enough the three men were on the ground and ready for action. Dominic gathered up the anti-grav stretchers and medical equipment and set off towards the wreckage

While Dominic went to see to the victims, Gordon and Brandon set up the lights and other necessary equipment. Gordon closed his eyes momentarily when he saw his father's grey and bruised face. Then he took a deep breath and the veteran rescuer took over.

"We'd better hurry!" Brandon shouted above the wind. "This storm isn't getting any better!" And neither are the victims.

"Doctor Tracy." Dominic joined Dianne inside the wreckage. She was beginning to treat Elise's injuries. "What do you need here first? I have the stretchers and the equipment."

"We could use a light over heah!" Dianne called. She turned to Dom. "She's goin' into hypothermia, too. We need to set up the warmed air and an IV warmer. We also need a compression bandage to keep her ribs from movin'. Last thin' she needs is a punctured lung." Dianne turned to her patient. "Elise, Ah'm gonna have to open your coat and pull up your shirt, hon. Ah need to bandage your ribs so they don't move. Do you understand?"

"Okay," Elise said faintly.

"It's gonna be cold for a minute. But only a minute," Dianne kept explaining as she removed the thermo-blanket, opened Elise's jacket and pulled up on her Tracy Industries polo shirt.

Elise cried out as Dianne lifted the shirt. But, as promised, it was soon over and she was warm again. Dominic adjusted the thermal blanket around her again and set out one of the anti-grav stretchers ready to take her. He looked to Dianne

"Is she ready to go, then?"

"Lemme give her a low dose of analgesic, and then we can take her up and set up the warming equipment. It's too hard to do down here. Once she's settled, then we'll come back down and get... Jeff." Dianne pulled out a hypospray and injected Elise with the pain reliever. Then she and Dom gently moved the pilot to the stretcher.

Together, they brought Elise, strapped to the stretcher, over to the rescue capsule where Gordon was waiting. He expertly secured the stretcher safely inside, showing Brandon how it was done on the way.

Dianne called to Dom. "Send down a backboard with whoever goes up with you!" Dominic gave Dianne a thumbs-up, and nodded to Brandon and Gordon to start the winch. Gordon watched the rescue capsule start on its way up and then trotted back into the wreckage of the helijet.

"How is she?" Brandon asked Dom as the capsule made its slow ascent to Thunderbird Two.

"She's stable." Dom said, looking over the patient. "Once we get her safely on a biobed, she'll be all right."

The winds and snow set the rescue capsule to swaying slightly but the weight of the passengers kept it from going too far. Suddenly, an ear-splitting screech could be heard from above and the rescue capsule came to an abrupt halt.
