Tracy Island, April 12th 5.30 p.m.

Kat had rested for a few hours after fainting in Thunderbird Two's hangar. Walking out on to the balcony, she breathed in the fresh, warm air. It was such a lovely place. Over and over she thanked her lucky stars that she had been taken on as a mechanic to the Tracy Family.

Wandering back into her apartment, she went into her small kitchenette, made herself a snack and poured herself an glass of orange juice, then sat down at her computer. She opened her e-mails and saw that she had three new ones.

One was from her brother in Washington, a newsy e-mail full of family interest. She sat and composed a reply. The second was addressed to her and Callie from Jeff, advising of the change of date for the meeting with the new recruits.

The third one was from Dr. Tracy asking her to attend the doctor in her office, when she returned from taking Dom to the eye specialist. Kat slumped at the desk. Virgil must have told his mom about the fainting episode.

I hope they don't decide that I am not fit enough and send me home. She felt she couldn't bear that. She replied to Dr. Tracy's message, and then closed her computer down.
Wandering back on the balcony, she thought about the episodes of fainting. True I haven't fainted for ages, but I have had several light headed spells. She had always been thin. Her mother had insisted that even though she was a vegetarian she should eat nutritious food. She just did not put on weight. She was just like her Gran. Granny Johnson was a sparrow of a woman, tiny but full of vitality. Kat smiled to herself remembering spending holidays with her grandparents. Mrs. Johnson ruled her family with a rod of iron although she was also very caring. There was nothing that she wouldn't do for Kat and her brothers. Kat's grandfather was 6ft, but Grandmother was the boss.

"Hi, Kat," Nikki called from her balcony. "Fancy a swim?"

"Love to. Give me a few minutes to get my swimming costume on."

Kat and Nikki headed for the pool.

"I had an e:mail today from Dr. Tracy," Kat told her friend. "She asked me to meet her in her office after she has returned from taking Dom to the eye specialist."

Nikki raised her eyebrows. "What have you been doing?"

Kat looked at Nikki. "When I was learning about Thunderbird Two with Brains and Virgil, I fainted."

"Oh," Nikki replied.

Kat continued. "You see I have a low blood sugar problem, and if I don't eat regularly or have some sugar, like glucose, my blood sugar levels drop suddenly, causing me to pass out. I guess Virgil told Dr. Tracy. Oh, Nikki, I am so terrified that Dr. Tracy will not think me fit enough to be a member of IR and send me home."

"I can't see Dr. Tracy sending you home. You are a very good mechanic, and Dr. Tracy is at the moment helping Elise. She's not being sent home. I am sure that there is something that she can do to help you as well."

Both young women arrived at the pool. Virgil and Gordon were already swimming.

"How are you Kat? " Virgil called.

"Better now, thanks," Kat called back as she slipped off her t-shirt and shorts and dove into the pool.
