Chapter 1- Off to London

On the top floor of the building, Sir Hugh Creighton-Ward showed off the newly refurbished Creighton-Ward Manor to his clients.

"Nice view, isn't it?" He asked his clients.

"Yes." said one of the 5 people who were looking at the city of London. The meeting went on when suddenly, a loud gunshot was heard almost hitting the Sir Hugh's arm.

"What the devil was that?" he asked his clients.

"Are you alright, Sir Hugh?" one of his clients asked.

"Yes, I'm fine, Good sir," Sir Hugh replied as he took picked up his phone and spoke to his secretary. "Alison, get me that American fellow, Jeff Tracy."

Meanwhile in Los Angeles, California, 17 year old Scott Tracy and his best friend and fellow Greaser Frank Benedict were sitting at their usual booth eating and listening to rock 'n' roll music at Johnny's Diner.

"Like, wow, Man, there's nothin' to see here anymore." said Scott.

"Yeah, like all of a sudden, we've seen about every inch of the mall." Frank added.

"I wish I could go to London. I ain't seen some of the clothes there." sighed Scott as he saw his father fromer astronaut Jeff Tracy and his four brothers 16 year old John, 15 year old Virgil, 13 year old Gorodn and 12 year old Alan enter the diner.

"Scott, guess what," said Jeff. "You don't mind, Frank."

"Okay, Mr T, your jokes are gettin' kinda old," said Frank. "Did your cleaner finally quit?"

"Yesterday, Sir Hugh Creighton-Ward was showing his newly refurbished home to his clients when a bullet when right past him." said Jeff.

"And what's this gotta do with us?" John asked.

"He wants us to be his bodyguards for a week," Jeff replied. "We must find out who's behind this. We leave tonight and we'll have to take the jet."

"You mean we take JT1?" Virgil asked.

"That's right, Virgil," said Jeff. "It's been improved so that it can hover. Well, off we go to London and Scott, be home at 7:30pm."

"So, like, where's our first pit stop?" Gordon asked as the Tracys arrived in London.

"Creighton-Ward Manor," replied Jeff. "It should be close."

"Dad, Guys, why are people looking at us?" Alan asked.

"Oh, no wonder. We're in a jet," said Scott. "Like, how cool. Hey, Dad. I think that's the joint."

Jeff parked JT1 behind a Rolls-Royce and the family went inside Creighton-Ward Manor.

The Tracys enter the office but only Sir Hugh was there.

"Hello, I'm Sir Hugh Creighton-Ward, please take a seat." Sir Hugh greeted them.

"Hi, I'm Scott tracy, this is my pop Jeff," Scott said. "And these are my brothers John, Virgil, Gordon and Alan."

"Are you sure you're my bodyguards?" Sir Hugh. "Because you, Scott, look like a regular biker about the same age as my 17 year old daughter Penelope."

"Like, sure he is," Gordon said smiling. "So what do you want us to do?"

"Alison, get in here." Sir Hugh requested. A few seconds later, a redheaded woman came in holding 6 gold Creighton-Ward Membership cards and gave them to the Tracys.

"There's ten thousand pounds credited in your cards," said Sir Hugh. "Consider this your pay cheque."

"Thank you, Sir Hugh," said Jeff before turning to his sons. "What do you boys say?"

"Wow, thanks, Sir Hugh." Scott, John, Virgil, Gordon and Alan said altogether.

"Now go to your suite, I'll call you when I need you." Sir Hugh said

Inside the suite, there ws a kitchen, a living room and 5 bedrooms. After deciding what rooms they get, the Tracys sat down at the living room

"Sir Hugh sure is a nice guy." Virgil commented as he stared at his membership card.

"Well, how about we go shopping now?" John suggested.

"But we're supposed to be bodyguards, remember?" Jeff reminded his sons.

"Oh, don't worry, Dad, we can, like, always call him a videophone." Scott reassured.

Knowing he had been defeated, Jeff sighed and said "Well... okay, let's go shopping."

Chapter 2- Scott Falls in Love

The Tracys just got back from shopping, sat down at the living room and unrapped their shopping.

"There sure are a lotta things to see here in London." Alan said.

Gordon took out a black leather jacket, hugged it and said "Wow, this jacket's, like, so hip, Man."

The door bell rang. Scott got it to see Sir Hugh and a blonde girl his own age and said "Like, wow, Sir H, what a suprise."

"Gentlemen, I have asked my daughter Penelope to join you," Sir Hugh said. "Penelope, this is Scott Tracy. Scott, this is my daughter Lady Penelope Creighton-Ward."

Scott smiled, took Penny's hand and said in a macho sort of voice "Hey, Baby, great to see ya."

Seeing what was going on, Sir Hugh left and said "I'll leave you all alone now."

"Who is this girl?" John asked.

"John, don't be rude," Jeff stated. "This is Lady Penelope, Sir Hugh's daughter."

"Hell, boys," said Penny who was wearing a pink blouse with a matching cardigan sweater and matching Alice band in her hair, a light blue chiffon scarf, a matching poodle skirt, white bobby socks and black saddle shoes. "My name's Penelope but you might as well call me Penny if you want to."

"Hi, Penny." Virgil said softly as if he was developing a crush on Penny."

The next morning, John, Virgil, Gordon and Alan were all watching TV while Jeff was talking to Sir Hugh and Lady Amelia as they arrived while Scott and Penny were having breakfast together.

"What do you think?" Penny asked.

"It's cool, Penny." Scott said cooly. "I didn't know you can cook."

"Thank you," Penny said politely and finished her food. "My mother taught me that recipe."

"I dare say, Penelope," said Lady Amelia as she walked over to her daughter. "I think that motorcyclist is a really nice boy inside."

"Excuse me, Mother?" Penny asked.

"Well, he's always blushing when you're around him." Lady Amelia answered.

"Stop embarrassing me." Penny said as she looked at Scott who was still eating his breakfast.

"So, Penny baby. You, like, wanna go out this afternoon?" Scott asked.

"I'd love to." Penny answered.

"Okay, great, right after I rent me a motorbike or do whatever a guy like me in Blighty would do." Scott said as he finished his breakfast.

Chapter 3- Warning Scott

After Scott's motorbike ride and the rest of the family went shopping that afternoon, the Tracys went into JT1 and jetted back to the Lytton Hotel.

"Wow, thank God this thing's more luggage space." Virgil stated as he put his shopping on the jet bed and got into JT1.

"So, where you boys want to go next?" asked Jeff from the pilot's seat with Scott beside him.

"Back to the Lytton Hotel," said Scott. "By the way, I gotta date with that Penny chick."

"Oooh!!" Gordon and Alan said together.

Jeff landed JT1 outside the Lytton Hotel and dropped them all off so Scott could get changed. As soon as he was out of his usual black leather jacket, light blue shirt, blue jeans and black motorcycle boots and into a navy blue jacket, light blue shirt, gray pants, dark blue and yellow striped tie, black belt and black shoes, Scott took his motorbike and went to the Two I's Café in Soho.

As Scott and Penny, who was wearing a pink sleeveless dress, a matching jacket and matching shoes, entered the Two I's Café that evening, they sat down near the window. Their waiter came and served their drinks. The jukebox played Shortnin' Break Rock by Tony Crombie and his Rockets.

I don't like cake, I don't like pie,
I don't like sweets and I'll tell you why

'Cause mama's little baby loves shortnin'-shortnin',
Mama's little baby loves shortnin' bread,
Mama's little baby loves shortnin'-shortnin',
Mama's little baby loves shortnin' bread,
If you want my love you better see that I'm well fed

Ooh, you rock me, baby, everytime you roll that dough,
I say you rock me, baby, everytime you roll that dough,
Oh, mix it up good, get out your skillet and go-go-go

"So, tell me, where in London do ya live?" Scott asked.

"Well, I live somewhere near Westminster station," Penny said. "Crieghton-Ward Manor's right near Parlament Square."

"No kidding," Scott grinned. "I live in LA but near Hollywood."

"Wow, you must be rich," Penny stated. "So, what is it you like about me?"

"Well, I think you're cute and nice, that's all." Scott answered.

"Thank you, Scott," Penny said as she leaned forward to kiss Scott on the cheek. "Boys say that to me all the time."

I don't like weat, I don't like rye,
I don't like white and I'll tell you why

'Cause mama's little baby loves shortnin'-shortnin',
Mama's little baby loves shortnin' bread,
Mama's little baby loves shortnin'-shortnin',
Mama's little baby loves shortnin' bread,
If you want my love, you better see that I'm well fed

When you roll that dough, my heart goes flippety-flop,
When you roll that dough, my heart goes flippety-flop,
If you want my lovin', honey, keep your oven hot

'Cause mama's little baby loves shortnin'-shortnin',
Mama's little baby loves shortnin' bread,
Mama's little baby loves shortnin'-shortnin',
Mama's little baby loves shortnin' bread,
If you want my lovin', can't you see that I'm well fed?

Shortnin' bread

In the living room the next morning while Jeff and Virgil were getting the massage treatment, Gordon and Alan were watching TV.

"Wow, that Lisa Leone sure is cute, eh, Gordon?" asked Alan jokingly as they were watching their favourtie American High Schhol sitcom High School Confidential.

"Hey, Lisa Leone's about Scott's age and I only like her in a way you like Tin-Tin." Gordon commented.

"How does that feel, Virgil?" asked the Essex woman who massaged Virgil's back.

"Hmm..Um...a little lower please." Virgil requested.

The woman coughed, went back to massaging Virgil and asked in a low voice "How does that feel, Virgil?"

"That's not what I meant, Amy." Virgil said.

"So, Scott. How did the date go?" John asked as he and Scott got out of their bedrooms.

"It was great," said Scott. "We went to the Two I's Café, saw all of Soho and did some pretty cool sight seein'."

"You know, Scott, you're rushing into things." said Jeff.

"Yeah, you barely don't know the girl." Virgil concluded.

"Remember what happened last time?" Gordon asked looking up from the TV at Scott.

"Don't worry, guys," Scott assured his younger brothers and widowed father. "If he's flying a jet or holding a gun..."

Penny came into the living room and asked "So, Scott darling. Are you ready?"

"Ready for what?" Scott responded.

"To visit Ravenscourt Park, remember?" Penny asked.

"Oh, man, I forgot," Scott said. "Sorry, you guys, looks like I can't join you today."

"That's okay, Scott," said John. "Sir Hugh and Lady Amelia have got some plans for us."

A few seconds later, Scott got his black leather jacket on and left the suite with Penny in tow.

Chapter 4- Rock With the Caveman

Scott and Penny got out of Penny's 2054 pink cadillac and walked to Ravenscourt Park. They reached a park bench and sat beside each other.

"Like, wow, I had no idea that London's really that cool." said Scott as he looked at Penny.

"Me too but after living here your whole life, you'll see another sight of London," Penny explained as her stomach growled. "Do you want to get some ice cream?"

"Sure, I'm gettin' hungry too." replied Scott.

After getting some ice cream, both Scott and Penny sat down at a bench for hours and hours.

The old-time cave dweller lived in a cave,
Here's what he did when he wanted a rave,
He took a stick and he drew on the wall,
Man, I've heard he had himself a ball

Rock with the caveman,
Roll with the caveman,
Shake with the caveman,
Break with the caveman, oh boy,
Make with the caveman,
Stalactite, stalagmite, hold your baby very tight

His way with women was rather neat,
He'd love a girl right off her feet,
You know that lyric writers never lie,
It's where they got the sayin' "starry eye"

Rock with the caveman,
Roll with the caveman,
Shake with the caveman,
Break with the caveman, oh boy,
Make with the caveman,
Stalactite, stalagmite, hold your baby very tight

Piltdown poppa sings this song,
Archeology's done me wrong,
British Museum's got my head,
Most unfortunate 'cause I ain't dead

Rock with the caveman,
Roll with the caveman,
Shake with the caveman,
Break with the caveman, oh boy,
Make with the caveman

C.A.V.E... M.A.N. CAVEMAN!

That evening, Scott and Penny entered his room and began to lie on his bed.

"I had fun tonight." Penny said softly.

"Me too." Scott answered and they started kissing.

Scott tickled Penny, put his hand on her knee and asked "You sure you wanna stay the night?"

"Of course I do." Penny giggled.

"Wow, thanks, Penny." Scott said.

"No, Scott," Penny smiled. "Thank you."

As he accepted Penny's invitation to stay the night, Scott noticed that she had fallen asleep beside him.

Chapter 5- the Next Day

10th July 2056, the Lytton Hotel, Scott's room

In Scott's room, the DJ on the radio said "And here we have a request for the Warren Jones song Ubangi Stomp."

Well, I rocked over Italy and I rocked over Spain,
I rocked in Memphis, it was all the same,
Well, I rocked through Afrika and rolled of the ship
And seen them natives doin' an odd lookin' skip,
I parted the weeds and looked over the swamp,
Seen them cats doin' the Ubangi-stomp

Ubangi-stomp with the rock and roll,
Beats anything that you've ever been told,
Ubangi-stomp, Ubangi-style,
When it hits, it drives a cool cat wild

The song continued to play as Scott woke up wearing only his boxers and said "Whoa, what a weird dream."

Scott opened the bedside table drawer. There was nothing in it. He looked beside him to find that Penny was sleeping with him and said "Holy cow."

Penny woke up and asked "Scott, what are you doing in my room?"

"The question is what are you doin' in my room?" Scott answered with his eyes wide open.

Penny looked around to realize that Scott was right. It was his room. She looked down to see that she was only wearing her pink underwear and said "Oh dear."

"I guess you got too sleepy to go back to home." Scott said.

"Please don't tell my parents." Penny begged.

"Don't worry, your secret's safe, Baby." Scott assured.

Penny hugged and kissed Scott, picked up and wore her clothes before going to her room.

Later that morning, Jeff sat down at the table where everybody else was having breakfast. He poured himself a cup of tea and drank it.

"So, Scott, where were you yesterday?" John asked as Penny looked worried.

"Yeah, you weren't in here all day." Virgil added.

"Well, I slept on the couch yesterday," Scott lied. "Thought I watch a little TV but I fell asleep on the couch instead."

"Alright." Jeff said slowly.

After breakfast, Virgil went to his room and got changed into his bathing suit while the others were at the pool. He finished wearing it when the videophone rang and he answered it.

"What is it, Lady Amelia?" Virgil asked.

"Virgil, I've just got a report from Strangeday Hall in Manchester that the Hood had escaped 2 months ago," said Lady Amelia. "Be careful and guard my darling husband."

Virgil arrived at the pool and went inside with John, Gordon and Alan. Scott and Penny were sitting on the edge of the pool.

"Pardonez moi, Scott," said Penny blushing. "I don't know how to ask you but..."

"But what?" Scott asked.

"I had a dream that we had slept together yesterday," said Penny. "And I just want to confirm with you did we really do it?"

"You mean you had a dream about that?" Scott said but paused for a second and answered "Don't be stupid, Penny. I'd never do somethin' like that. I'm only 17, you know."

"Thank you, Scott," said Penny "I feel much better and relief that we didn't really sleep together."

"Hey," Gordon shouted splashing water at both Scott and Penny. "Are you 2 just gonna watch or swim with us?"

"We're comin' in, Virgil." Scott answered back as he and Penny both jumped into the pool.

Chapter 6- Taxi

That afternoon at the the Two I's Café, Jeff and the boys sat at a booth in the Two I's Café. Their waitress, a Fulham girl named Claire, came to their table and delivered their drinks

"A coffee for Mr Tracy, Pepsi for the oldest two and Root Beer for the youngest three." Claire said as she served the drinks.

"So.." Virgil paused and read Claire's name tag. "Claire, how about you and me go out this Saturday?"

"Oh, sorry, love," said Claire. "But I've got a boyfriend already."

"Oh man." Virgil groaned.

"Oi, wait a minute," Claire realized. "How did you know my name?"

"Lets just say I red your name tag." Virgil answered as Claire left.

A videophone rang so Jeff rang to awnser it and said "Hello?"

"Jeff, I need you and your boys right now!" cried the mystery voice on the phone

"Oh, darn prank callers!" Jeff growled hanging up the videophone and walked back to the booth.

"Who was that, Dad?" Alan asked.

"Some man asking for help." Jeff replied.

"Dad, that's, like, Sir Hugh," Gordon stated. "He needs us when he calls."

"Holy cow, Dad," John added. "We're sure you're pretty sorry right now."

They ran off to JT1 but it wasn't there so Scott ran to the middle of the street, pulled out his fake LAPD badge and said "Freeze, Police officer. I'm gonna need your car!"

A 1937 DeSotto swerved to the right and hits a parked car, another car hit behind it, a few cars then hit the other 2 causing a pile up and a taxi and a cadillac hit one of the cars behind and flew into the pile up.

"Okay, that went well." Virgil commented as the Tracys were shocked.

"I've got a better idea." Jeff suggested.

The Tracys went to another street and Jeff flagged a taxi and a London taxi cab stopped in front of them.

"LAPD. To Creighton-Ward Manor on the double." Scott requested as the Tracys got into the taxi.

"You jumped in the right cab there, officer." said the male Cockney taxi driver and he pushed some buttons beside him. The car jerked and mechanical sounds sounded.

"What the heck are you doing?" Gordon asked.

"We're like in a hurry... What's that noise?" Alan asked as the driver changed his steering wheel. The taxi changed to a cadillac.

"Buckle up for safety, officers." said the taxi driver as he put his feet on the gas pedal. The car moved and the Tracys yelled.

"Should I drive any faster?" asked the Cockney taxi driver.

"If you drive any faster, we're going to travel through time." Virgil shouted at the Cockney taxi driver.

"This reminds me of the time Scott rode his bike so fast, it crashed into Officer Thompson's car." John said.

After a few minutes of driving, the taxi stopped and the Cockney taxi driver said "Here we are, Creighton-Ward Manor. That'll be £3.50."

"Here, keep the change" Jeff said as he handed the Cockney taxi driver a £5 note.

Chapter 7- Gone in 60 Seconds

The Tracys ran into Creighton-Ward Manor only to find that the place was messed up and no one was in the building.

"What the hell happened here?" Jeff asked.

"Looks like the kooky kidnappers crashed thought the door." Scott guessed.

"Guys, look over there!" John pointed.

Headlights of a large black van flashed at them. The driver started the engine and the van headed towards them but the Tracys jumped away and the van escaped into the streets.

"They're sure in a hurry." Virgil stated.

"C'mon, we gotta chase them." Gordon said.

They got in JT1 and flew behind the black van while chasing them.

"We're gonna lose 'em." Alan pointed.

"Can't this jet, like, go any faster?" Gordon asked.

The word FASTER appeared on the monitor and JT1 went as fast as it could. Meanwhile, at a intersection nearby, 2 police officers were eating donuts in their car until the saw the black van and JT1.

"Woah, isn't that a United States Air Force Jet?" asked the police officer in the passenger seat.

"Bloody right you are," answered the police officer in the driver seat and started the car. "That van's going at 120 miles per hour."

Back in JT1, the Tracys almost lost sight of the van as Virgil said "We're losing them!"

"And the cops are right behind us." John warned.

"Something stinks and I don't mean Alan's attitude." Scott said and held his breath.

"OH NO," Jeff shouted. "TRUCK!!"

Jeff flew upwards and avoided the back of the blue manure truck almost hitting a taxi. However, the police officers weren't so lucky.

"Control, This is unit 5253. We're in pursuit of a United States Air Firce jet," reported the police officer in the driver seat. "We need more backup, over."

"Um.. Harry..HARRY!" his partner called.

"What now, Charlie?" Harry answered.

"Look!!" Charlie pointed out.

Harry looked up and saw the back of the manure truck.

"BUGGER!!" the officers yelled together.

Harry swerved to the right but the car hit the truck and covered the car with manure. Several police cars followed and people from the streets ran over to see what happened.

Harry got out of the car. His clothes were covered with manure. He spat out some out of his mouth and cursed "Manure! I hate manure!"

5 police jets were chasing them. Since the traffic was heavy on the streets, Jeff jetted towards a freeway.

"This lane's sure empty." John stated.

"That's 'cause this is the emergency lane." Virgil answered as Jeff stopped the jet. The cops were still far behind.

"What?" Alan asked.

"Look there." Gordon pointed.

Gordon was right. In front of them was an accident and a few ambulances. One of them moved aside to reveal a empty car carrier. Jeff shifted the gear in reverse.

"Dad, what the heck are you doin'?" Scott asked at the jet reversed.

"Officers Thompson and Henshaw did this before," Jeff explained. "They told that they jumped off a ramp."

"Dad, they were in a car," Virgil said. "We're in a jet."

"Don't worry, I did t while I was in the Air Force as well." Jeff reassured his sons and stopped JT1.

Meanwhile, the police caught up to them behind JT1's tail. They got out of their cars and point their guns at JT1. One of them said with a loudspeaker "Get out of the jet with your hands up!"

"We are good to go." Jeff said as he put JT1 in gear 1 and took off.

"Bloody hell!" cursed one the the officers.

"Dad..NO," John shouted. "We'll be dead in 60 seconds if you don't stop..NOW."

It was too late. They were already on the ramp. The Tracys all closed their eyes as the jet went airborne. The left rear wheel touched an ambulance and they hit the asphalt with a loud thud and it over steered a bit. However, the front end had no damage.

"Are we in heaven?" Virgil asked with his eyes closed.

"Don't ever make me do that again." Jeff told Scott.

"Hang on, Dad," snapped Scott. "You're the one who wanted to do that."

"Oh really?" Jeff remembered.

"So how are we gonna get that van?" John asked.

"Simple," Jeff explained explained as the JT1 monitor showed a map of London with a red dot on one of the buildings. "Using Sir Hugh's videophone number, we can trace his watch which will lead us to him."

"He's headin' towards Trafalgar Square." Gordon said as he looked at the monitor.

"What are we waitin' for?" Scott asked. "This jet better move it."

JT1 suddenly jetted to Traflgar Square as fast as it could.

Chapter 8- The Good, the Bad and the Ugly

The Tracys rushed into Creighton-Ward Manor wearing their spy jumpsuit.

"So how are we gonna find Sir Hugh?" Virgil asked. "This is a big building."

John took out a tracking device, typed Sir Hugh's comwatch number and said "They're in Sir Hugh and Lady Amelia's bedroom."

The Tracy ran to Sir Hugh and Lady Amelia's bedroom only to find there was no one around.

"Are you sure John's right, Dad?" Alan asked.

"I don't know but there's no one here." Jeff concluded.

"But that trackin' device said it's..." Gordon started until he saw something moving under a blanket. "That's, like, gotta be Sir H."

Scott and Gordon ran towards the bed, pulled the blanket off and saw that it was Sir Hugh.

"Are you okay, Sir H?" Scott asked as the rest of the family helped untie Sir Hugh.

Virgil removed the tape from Sir Hugh's mouth as Sir Hugh himself said "It's a trap!"

"How right you are." said a Malaysian voice from behind them. The Tracys looked behind to see a tall man with dark hair and brown eyes dressed in black.

"I knew it," Scott growled. "You did this."

"Yes, it is I," the man told the Tracys. "Remember me, Tracys?"

"Oh man, it's the Hood." Alan gasped.

"That is right." the Hood answered.

"You jerk.. Hey, Dad, aren't you gonna say something?" John asked.

Instead, Jeff's jaw dropped and his eyes were wide open. He was in complete shock.

"As you can see, your father is shocked," the Hood said. "He has heard of his oldest son and Sir Hugh's daughter. I saw that going out, kissing and even sleeping together."

"What????" John, Virgil, Gordon and Alan asked altogether.

"Well... I..I" Scott stammered.

"After all that, I think we are enemies for life, Scott." the Hood said.

"You got that right, pal," Scott snarled at the Hood. "I won't accept you spyin' on me no matter what!"

"Very well." the Hood said closing his eyes. He snapped his fingers and 7 men dressed in black came out and grabbed the Tracys. One of them was already holding Penny.

Later, the tracys, Penny and Sir Hugh were all tied up against the wall with titanium rings on their wrists and ankles while the Hood and his men made a few calls on the telephone. After doing so, the Hood went towards the Tracys and said "It is no use, gentlemen. The things that are holding you are made of titanium and plus, I have got your gadgets with me."

"So what are you up to this time?" John asked.

"After the incident with your father, I went to prison again and escaped," the Hood stated." "So I decided not to run into you and your family again but I had a plan to take over the world. I have asked someone to plant bombs all over the major cities of the world."

"But why did you kidnap Sir Hugh?" Alan asked.

"I needed the money to pay them off," said the Hood. "I decided to attack Sir Hugh but he called you in to protect him so I decided to have my revenge. While you were out, I kidnapped Sir Hugh and his daughter Penelope and asked him to transfer money into my account so that I can pay off the expenses. Then, I shall threatened the Prime Minister into letting me taking over the world by blowing up the selected cities."

"Threatening people into taking over the world ain't cool." Gordon commented.

"You'll never get away with this." Scott shouted.

"Oh, but I already have, Scott." the Hood growled back at Scott.

"Scott, I've got one bit of advice for you," John said. "Never EVER work for him."

"Sir," a voice called from the other room. "I've got the prime minister's number."

"Excuse me, lady and gentlemen while I talk to the prime minister." the Hood said and left the room.

Chapter 9- To Number 10, Downing Street

The videophone at Number 10, Downing Street rang so the prime minister James Thomas answered it and said "Hello?"

"Hello, Prime Minister," said the Hood. "My name is Tim Scam and I want you to step down as Prime Minister."

"What is this, some kind of joke?" laughed PM Thomas.

"No, Sir," said the Hood. "You see, I have planted bombs on selected cities and I plan on blowing them up if you do not let me take over as prime minister."

"What if I said no?" PM Thomas asked.

"Well then, Frankfurt, Germany will be blown up," the Hood answered.

"No, I won't let you take over." PM Thomas said.

"Alright, I shall call you again. If the answer is no, Sydney Australia is next." the Hood said and hung up the videophone.

For 3 times, the Hood called the prime minister but the prime minister rejected him and 3 of the selected cities got blowed up.

"So what are the cities you targeted?" Virgil asked.

The Hood took out a piece of paper and said "Let us see, Frankfurt, Sydney, Tokyo, Paris, Los Angeles, Chicag..."

"Wait a minute," John said. "That's the cities on the list that I found in my room!"

"Los Angeles?" Jeff asked.

"What are you worried about, Dad?" Alan asked. "At least it's not Beverly Hills."

"Hey, Alan, Beverly Hills is, like, in LA and LA means Los Angeles." Gordon explained.

The Hood looked at his watch and said "Oh dear, time for me to have a little chat with Mr Thomas."

He went in the room for the 4th time leaving the tracys, Sir Hugh and Penny behind.

"Some bodyguards you fellas are." Sir Hugh commented.

"Well, one thing's for sure, he, like, forgot one little thing." Scott said.

"What???????" Jeff, Sir Hugh, Penny, John, Virgil, Gordon and Alan said altogether.

"My comwatch." Virgil answered as he slammed his butt against the wall. His comwatch dropped to the ground and opened up contacting a close friend of their's.

In LA, 13 year old Tin-Tin Kyrano was in bed sleeping. Her comwatch rang a few times. She woke up and yawned.

"What does my father want now?" Tin-Tin scowled and opened her comwatch. "Hello!"

"Tin-Tin, it's me, Virgil." Virgil said from the screen.

"Virgil? What happened?" Tin-Tin asked.

"Look, we need your help, some crazy guy's holding us hostage," said Virgil. "We're in Creighton-Ward Manor in London."

"Right, I'm on my way." Tin-Tin said as she closed her comwatch.

Back at Creghton-Ward Manor in London, the Hood came back in and spotted Virgil's comwatch on the floor.

"It looks like you are trying to call for backup," the Hood said picking the watch up. "It will never work."

"Sir," one of the men called. "It's time to call him."

Everyone stayed quiet as the Hood entered the room. A few seconds later, he came out with an evil smile.

"You Americans are lucky, he was letting me become prime minister." the Hood explained.

The Tracys were relieved but at the same time angry at the Hood for what he was about to do.

"Well, Tracys, it looks like I am off to Number 10, Downing Street," said the Hood. "Come, men, let us leave and here is a little something for all of you girls."

At this moment in time, one of the Hood's men took out a bomb from his duffle bag as the Hood himself said "It has a pleasure seeing you."

"Wow, where's Tin-Tin?" Alan wondered.

"Right here." a voice said as Sir Hugh, Penny and the Tracys all looked to the left to see Tin-Tin dressed in an orange V-neck sweater, dark blue roll-up jeans, white bobby socks and black saddle shoes as she climbed in the building through a window. "Sorry I'm late, my father told me that I had to take another jet."

"Great to see ya, Tin-Tin!" Gordon said.

After freeing Sir High, Penny and the Tracys, Tin-Tin turned their attention to the bomb. It had 30 seconds of time left and Scott yelled "We, like, gotta defuse it before it blows up the building."

John put his chin and sid "I've got something that can defuse it!"

A few seconds later, John grabbed a pocket knife from Scott's left jacket pocket and cut a wire so the bomb stopped and they all left the manor.

Chapter 10- Hollow Man

Penny, Tin-Tin and the Tracys all got out of JT1 which was parked outside Number 10, Downing Street and Jeff said "Hold on to your diginity, people, we're going in."

In the prime minister's door, the Hood was about to sit down on the table when the door exploded and Penny, Tin-Tin and the Tracys entered.

"You Tracys again?" the Hood said.

"What makes you can keep us hostage, pally boy?" Scott growled.

"Men, get them!" the Hood shouted.

Out of nowhere, the secret service surrounded Penny, Tin-Tin and the Tracys. They kicked and punched them while the Hood left a bomb on the table and ran to the elevator.

"He's getting away." Alan spotted.

"That'll teach you to mess up my hair." Virgil scowled and kicked the agent.

Penny, Tin-Tin and the Tracys all ran towards the eleavtor and manually opened the door. Using the jet pack backpacks, they caught up with the elevator. Scott used his pen knife to make a hole on the floor.

"You idiots," the Hood cursed. "You have jammed the damn thing."

"Am I an idiot?" Gordon said. "Do I, like, look like an idiot?"

The ground floor explodeed and fire entered the elevator area.

"If we fall, we're gonna burn to a crisp." John said as he looked down at the hole.

Tin-Tin climbed onto Scott's shoulders to open the roof hatch of the elevator. Everyone climbed up and both Gordon and Alan opened another elevator door in front of them.

"Dad, C'mon." Scott shouted to Jeff who was still in the elevator.

"Not so fast, Jeff." yelled the Hood stopping Jeff.

"What?" Jeff asked as he turned to face the Hood.

"One more step and you are dead." the Hood said with an evil smile on his face.

Jeff looked down, saw that the Hood had his left foot on a leaver which released the cable holding the elevator and said "You're not going to do that."

"Oh yes I am. I will step on it and we will die," the Hood said. "Hti me where it hurts, Jeff."

Jeff stood face to face with the Hood with his right hand on the elevator cable and punched the Hood square in the face. Scott, Penny, John, Virgil, Gordon, Tin-Tin and Alan all looked surprised.

"Wow." Virgil said cmiling at what his father did to the Hood.

"Brill." Penny commented.

"Dad, what the heck did you just do?" Scott asked.

"I had to punch him." Jeff said.

Jeff stepped on the leaver and the elevator fell. He hung on to the cable with his right hand and legs. He grabbed the Hood with his left hand just in time. The elevator disappeared into the fire.

"You're lucky I'm a nice person." Jeff said with a smile.

The Hood, who was a little surprises, returned with a small smile. Jeff then swung out of the elevator area and into the hallway. PM Thomas, Sir Hugh, Lady Amelia and some agents came out from the stairs and arrest the Hood.

"Good going, Dad." John congratulated.

"Thank you, everybody." Jeff answered.

"What about the Prime Minister?" Gordon asked.

"He's in an ambulance outside safe and sound," said Lady Amelia. "Anyway, Hugh and I have invited all of you to a dinner tonight at the Two I's Café in Soho so I suggest you all get into JT1, get cleaned and dressed for tonight."

Chapter 11- Goin' Back

At Two I's Café in Soho, the Creighton-Wards, the Tracys, Tin-Tin and Sir Hugh's assistants were present. Everyone was eating and Scott noticed a redheaded girl putting a penny into the jukebox and selected a song to which Scott and Penny started dancing.

I work in the store on the edge of town,
The daily shoppers going up and down,
Elevator rock, elevator roll,
Elevator rock, elevator roll

Buzzin' all day, buzzin' all night,
Floors to the left and floors to the right,
Elevator rock, elevator roll,
Elevator rock, elevator roll

Goin' up, madam, going down, sir,
Goin' up, sonny or your little girl,
Elevator rock, elevator roll,
Elevator rock, elevator roll

First floor ties, second floor socks,
Third floor dresses, how my head, it rocks,
Elevator rock, elevator roll,
Elevator rock, elevator roll

Buzzin' all day, buzzin' all night,
Floors to the left and floors to the right,
Elevator rock, elevator roll,
Elevator rock, elevator roll

You can keep "see you later, alligator",
I got my elevator,
Elevator rock, elevator roll

After the dinner and while Sir Hugh and Lady Amelia spoke to Jeff, Scott, Penny, John, Gordon, Tin-Tin and Alan were speaking while Virgil spotted Claire the Fulham waitress.

"Hey, Claire, great to see you again." Virgil said as hugged Claire tightly.

"Great to you again too, mate." Claire answered.

"Once again, I'd like to thank you and your sons, Jeff but I'm afraid I have to ask you to return my membership cards." Sir Hugh requested.

"Alright, Sir Hugh, the boys gave me theirs," Jeff said as he gave Sir Hugh his and his sons cards. "Well, we better get back to Los Angeles."

The next day, the Tracys froze as they stared at the glass window with their jaws dropped.

"Is it me or are those the things we just bought in London?" John asked.

"It looks like it only, like, cheaper." Gordon replied.

"Well, I guess there's nothing to buy from here now." Alan sighed.

"So, Virgil. How does it feel to finally have a photo of that Fulham waitress Claire in your room?" Scott asked.

"Well. I guess it's okay since I hope I might see her again soon." Virgil answered shyly.

Later, Scott entered his room and puts his clothes from London on his bed. Suddenly, his videophone rang. He answered it and Frank appeared on the small screen.

"Hey, Scott," Frank said smiling. "How was your family vaction to London?"

"It was, like, cool and I met this posh blonde Brit chick called Penny." Scott answered with a smile as he hung up the phone and left the house to go to meet Frank at Johnny's Diner.
