The 4 island bound Tracy's were all sat in their dad's office waiting for news on the kidnapping. John had been tirelessly searching through all the reports for any clues.
Jeff was just about to suggest that they all get some sleep when his personal computer chimed and a video popped up. It had been anonymously sent and was labelled 'the last time you'll see your children'.
Jeff called the boys over and they all crowded around the screen to see what it was about.

~Video~

Video starts as the gunmen get on the bus and then begin to collect all communication devices, it shows how Alan and Fermat didn't hand over and devices. Then it reaches the confrontation.

Camera pointed at Alan at the back of the bus.
"Im gonna guess this is a personal vendetta against my father or Scott " Alan announced
"So the kids smart like John" the gunman at the front of the bus announced.
"No I'm just not an idiot. I can see the signs in the way you move and the way you talk. Go ahead take your video send it off to my father but I'll give you advice shall I" Alan leered at them
"what" the gunman closest to Alan asked unfazed
"You better hope you run fast or you hide good because as soon as my family sees this video your currently filming. And don't say your not because I aint stupid. They'll come after you with everything they've created and they won't hesitate to kill you" Alan told the men in a dark voice.

There was a pause where the camera panned around the bus and showed how some of the kids gasped at what Alan had just said and he gunman at the front of the bus froze.

Then the camera was pointed at the back of the bus again and then followed the gunman.
"I would love to see them try. Let's go get the bus moving old man or you'll be the first person shot" the gunman announced as he walked back up the bus.

Jeff looked at his boys and saw the looks of shock and suprise on their faces. He was about to tell them to head to bed when Gordon spoke up..
"Wait a moment the photograph from earlier showed Alan and Fermat wearing their communicators. They never handed in any communicators when the guy reached them. They told the guy they had left them in their dorm" he told his brothers and father.
"The sprout acted fast now we can wait till he communicates us and thn we can track them" Scott announced

They all hesitantly headed up to their rooms to sleep. After a stern glare from their father they began to move Slighlty faster and were all wishing and hoping that Alan would contact them soon.

Meanwhile with the boys were just arriving at the hideout. As they arrived they were shoved in rhe direction of a staircase going down to a basement and then they were herded into the prison like cell. While being herded in to the cell Fermat was shoved into the wall. Fermat heard a soft crunch as he made impact with the wall and sighed.
Once they were all in the room the gunmen left the cell like room and headed back up to the main level of the hideout.

Fermat waited a few minutes before turning to Alan with a worried look.
"W..w..we have a p..p..problem" Fermat told him.
All the boys turned to look at the two boys.
"What's wrong Fermat?" Alan asked as he turned to his friend from surveying their surroundings.
Fermat then held up his broken communicator "I..I..it broke when I h..h.. made impact with the w..w..wall" Fermat announced. "H..h..how are they g..g..going to trace m..me" Fermat then went on to tell him
"Hey Fermat it's okay I still have my communicator. We'll call them in a few hours. They need rest they've most likely been staring at the screens since we disappeared. And we need to get the teams promise of secrecy" Alan told his friend before he sat down and pulled out his own communicator.
