Elise folded the last of her laundry and put it away. Walking back into the living room of her apartment, she slumped down on the sofa and picked up a magazine. After absently thumbing through it, she put it back down.

The rescue was on her mind and, if she was honest with herself, so was Virgil. She'd been wanting to thank him for the note he'd given her before she went to New Hampshire. Unfortunately, on this island, getting someone alone for a few minutes was sometimes impossible. Now he was out on a rescue!

Deciding she'd go nuts alone in her apartment, she headed for the villa. There she could at least listen in on things. Arriving in the lounge, Elise found Kat and Brandon must have had the same idea, for they were both there.

Jeff looked up from his desk, also known as command center during a rescue. "Couldn't stay away, huh?" he asked with a smile.

"It's too quiet in my apartment, besides I like knowing how they're all doing."

Jeff nodded, understanding. Just as Elise sat down, Mrs. Tracy came in holding - and trying to calm - a very frustrated little boy.

"Oh, hush there, little Josh; all this fussin' ain't doin' you any good," Grandma crooned. It didn't work. Joshua let another wail. Jeff looked up, giving his mother a frustrated look of his own.

"Is he hungry? Maybe some of your wonderful cooking will help him," Jeff offered hopefully.

"We just came from the kitchen, and the way he ate reminded me of Scott at that age. The entire plate was clean! He's just fussin' 'cause his daddy is away." As they were talking, Joshua calmed down to just a sniffle and squirmed out of Grandma's arms. She put him down and he toddled off to find the toys that Dom had brought with them earlier. "See, he's found something to keep him occupied."

"I hope so, Mother, as it seems we're having some communication problems, and we're barely hearing some things as it is. A baby with the 'terrible twos' isn't going to help if I can't hear what does come through!" Jeff sounded irritated; something that didn't go unnoticed by Brandon, Kat and Elise as they exchanged looks.

"I'll play with him if you like," Kat offered.

"Thank you, dear; that would be a real help," Grandma replied.

As Kat got on the floor to play with Josh, Jeff called Alan... again. "Base calling Thunderbird 5.

Alan answered immediately, and as his portrait sprang to life, the occupants of the lounge could see the irritation on the blond's face. He got straight to the point. "Still not connecting, Boss, I've tried all the frequencies continually; I'm not sure what the problem is. I raised Maverick twice but he faded out too quickly. It's like something is jamming the signals."

Jeff became more irritated. "Well keep trying, Indy! We've got to establish consistent contact! I'll have Brains check things from this end. Base out."

"FAB." Alan disappeared again.



98% pure evil...and loving every minute of it.
