Scott frowned as he saw the colorful streaks of the setting sun. He flew over the city, looking for a cleared place to land. A rather speed-shocked Christopher sat in a seat below him.

"Bloody hell!" he exclaimed, shaking his head. "That was fast!"

"Yes, it is," Scott replied, distractedly. "I'm sorry I haven't had time to show you much more than how fast this baby is."

"And I'm supposed to learn to fly this bird?" Christopher said, still shocked. "I... I'm speechless."

"There's more than just flying fast to taking the lead in a rescue," Scott reminded him. "Hopefully I can give you a taste of that today." He hailed Thunderbird Five. "Jay, have the officials in Mendoza given you any coordinates where we can land?"

"Yes, Ess," John replied. "I'm downloading them to your computer and Vee's."

"Hmm. I just thought of a possible problem. What are we going to call our newest recruit? Eee?" Scott pondered.

"How about just El?" Callie's voice came over the air. "It would sound better."

"True." Scott switched channels. "Thunderbird Two from Thunderbird One, what's your ETA?"

Virgil, following his older brother's trail as fast as he could push his the cargo carrier, replied, "Thunderbird One from Thunderbird Two, our ETA is currently 7:15 p.m. local time. We're 50 minutes behind you."

"F-A-B, Vee, and thanks," Scott acknowledged. "How's our new recruit doing?"

"She's still shell-shocked," Virgil told him. "I heard Cee's suggestion on her designation. She approves."

"Good. That's one less thing to worry about." Scott looked out of his viewport. "I'm going to land this bird. See you when you get here." He turned to Christopher. "See, there is the site they want us to use."

Christopher whistled. "That's a nasty situation. Do you think we'll be able to make a difference?"

"I hope so," Scott said grimly. "I truly hope so."

Aboard Thunderbird Two, Dianne showed Nikki around the small sickbay.

"I remember some of this from our rescue in the North Sea," Nikki said. "But it's always good to have a refresher."

"Yes, and it looks like everything is well stocked, too," Dianne said. She leaned up against one of the bunks and looked at her telecomm watch with longing.

Nikki couldn't help but notice. "Is there something wrong, Dr. Tracy?"

Dianne laughed wryly. "Yes and no. I'm just dying to find out what's going on with the ice skating finals, but I don't dare ask. You'd think that something like that wouldn't matter, but I'm such a big fan of the sport and this rescue couldn't have come at a worse time." She shook her head. "Listen to me. Rescues never come at opportune times. I just have hope that Cherry recorded it all, and put it out of my head so I'm not distracted."

Nikki smiled. "I can see you're a big fan. I hope that your favorites win."

Dianne smiled. "Thanks." She stood up. "C'mon. Let's get back to the flight deck and see how much longer until we get to the Danger Zone."

"Right," Nikki said as she followed Dianne out to the cockpit.
