Tracy Island April 18th 3:30am

Brandon and Tin-Tin hurried to Thunderbird Four. As they strapped themselves in for the trip to Samoa, the young Malaysian glanced over at Brandon and noticed his nervousness.

"Are you all right?" she asked as Brandon finished up the prelaunch check.

"Not exactly, Tin-Tin. To be honest, I'm nervous as all get out. This is only my second time solo in Four and I don't want anything to happen to her. You heard Gordon. If anything does, I'll never hear the end of it from him."

Tin-Tin smiled. She knew what he was going through and sought to calm his jitters. "Relax, Brandon. Just remember your training and you'll do fine."

"Thanks a lot, Tin-Tin. I appreciate the words of encouragement. Right now we better get moving. Those people on Samoa need our help."

"Control from Thunderbird Four," Brandon's voice said over the radio. "Standing by to launch."

"Thunderbird Four from Control, permission to launch granted. Good luck, Big Mac."

"FAB, Control." Brandon flipped the switches that activated Thunderbird Four's hover jets. Taking a deep breath, he pushed forward on the steering yoke, sending the compact sub forward and into the lagoon. Relieved, Brandon let out the breath he'd been holding and turned his attention to the controls. Activating the engines, he pointed the sub out to sea.

"Thunderbird Four from Thunderbird One, do you copy?"

"Thunderbird One from Thunderbird Four, receiving you five by five."

"Since the tsunami is already heading towards Tracy Island, I need you and Sweet to keep an eye out for large pieces of debris that could cause damage to the island."

"FAB," Brandon acknowledged. "Anything else?"

There was a long pause, then Scott replied quietly, "Yes, there is. You need to be alert for bodies as well as possible survivors. I'll let Van Gogh know what's happening and as soon as he's through offloading the pod he can return to pick you up along with any survivors you find."

"FAB Thunderbird 1."

As Brandon navigated Thunderbird Four through the water, Tin-Tin kept an eye on the sonar, alert for anything that could be a hazard to the island. Suddenly, she turned and looked up through the clear top hatch, seeing the shadow of the seaplane as it took off from the island and flew over their position, heading for the safety of Bongo-Bongo.
