"Mobile Control and Thunderbird Two from Thunderbird Seven," John intoned. "I'm putting this baby to bed."

"F-A-B," Christopher replied. "Be aware that the pod has shifted position somewhat. Thunderbird Two should have new coordinates."

"I have new coordinates, Thunderbird Seven," Virgil piped up. "Downloading them to your guidance computer now. You may still have to compensate for the tidal drift."

"F-A-B, Thunderbird Two." John watched as the coordinates appeared on the computer, and he busied himself setting powering up the hoverjets in preparation for meeting up with the pod. The door slid open behind him and Dom entered the pilot's cabin, dressed in dry scrubs. He walked slowly over to the copilot's seat and sat down, buckling himself in.

"I think I'll need to talk to Doc about contacts," Dom said conversationally.

"Yes, she'll know what to do," John replied. He looked out the window as a motion caught his eye. "Oh God. Look at that."

Before them, the raised part of the bridge that still held the Prime Minister's limousine began to shift, falling rapidly toward the water. Since the bulk of the limo was supported by the lances, it didn't move forward to slip off into the river, but instead was smashed between the two parts of the drawbridge. Dom, squinting, could barely make out the action through the rain and in the light of the fire vehicles and news helicopters. He let out a low whistle.

"I think we got there in the nick," he said.

John nodded. "I just hope that jolt didn't affect Thunderbird Four. They're working in a very dangerous situation."

"Amen to that," Dom replied.

"Let's get this Bird in the pod," John said, backing the hovercraft up and pulling it off the bridge. Then he slowly eased it down the bank as the police made the crowds pull back, then out onto the surface of the river, heading for the pod.
