The 'Special Guest'

Sammy gets the surprise of her life when someone arrives at her door. He is going to change Sammy's life, but is it for the better or worse?

It was nine in the morning. We had all been allowed a lie-in because we had a ‘special visitor’ coming at ten. Mum said that we could do what we liked all morning so naturally we all slept in. It felt so good to feel the soft feather duvet against my skin. I got out of bed and got into the shower, I didn't know who this 'special visitor' was so I had to at least look decent! I lathered my hair with shampoo and rinsed it out again quickly. I picked up a pair of jeans and a long orange top, accessorising it with a belt and a necklace. Although I had a wardrobe full of clothes I used for my disguises, I never wore them unless I was on a mission. I had my own selection that I kept for my own purposes. Just as I was finishing putting on my make-up and doing my hair the doorbell rang. I jumped down the stairs to find a cute, tall brown haired, blue eyed boy standing on my doorstep. I didn't know what to do. It was kind of awkward I just stood there blushing at him. He dug his hands further into pockets looking equally as embarrassed. Luckily mum decided to intervene and invite him in. "Hello Tommy!" she said giving him a hug then putting him at arm’s length and saying "Gosh you have grown!"

"Hello Mrs Gordon and Sammy. I presume." he said turning to look at me. I blushed even more knowing he knew my name. "Err. Yeah!" I finally managed to say. Once again Mum came to the rescue "Sammy, meet Tommy, he is going to be working with you and Georgia, and he will be a new member to our team. Oh and Tommy, call me Susan."

"Oh, okay." I didn't want another member to our team. It was always just me and Georgia, especially a gorgeous boy. The twins and Maddie came to see Tommy and soon we were all piled into the hall way talking to each other and Tommy. I phoned Georgia to tell her about the new addition to our team and soon enough she decided to join us in the hall. "Why don't we go through to the Kitchen and I will put some pancakes on!" My dad suggested silencing everyone. My tummy grumbled loudly and everyone laughed. We all trudged through to the kitchen and ate pancakes with far too much syrup.

By lunch time Georgia and I had talked to Tommy so much it was like we had known him our entire lives. Slowly everyone had left the room leaving just the three of us. "So..." Tommy said. "What sort of things do you do for your missions?" "Well, we tend to steal things, stalk people, have to find the answers to ridiculous questions or track people down and do something to them." Georgia said. You could tell she really liked Tommy by the way she acted and spoke to him. He didn't seem to notice but just kept staring at me. "What do you mean by 'ask them ridiculous questions?" he said still looking at me. It was kind of staring to creep me out. Just a little bit. “Well there was this one person we had to approach and ask if he knew of an Ice cream van anywhere." Georgia said before I cold get a word in edge ways!

"Well what is wrong with that?" he said taking his eyes off me and giving Georgia a puzzled look. Before she could talk I spoke up; "We were in Serbia, in the middle of nowhere, talking to a man that didn't speak English and we don't speak Serbian." "Oh, and what was the point in that mission?" he asked puzzled.

"We never got told." Georgia said.

Mum marched into the room carrying a duvet cover sheets and pillows. "Tommy you will be sleeping in the spare bedroom in the Attic. Sammy will be next door if you need anything." she said, dropped the bedding onto the nearby couch and marched off again. "Thank you Mrs Gordon!" he shouted after her. You could faintly hear her call back "Susan!" Georgia winked at me and said; "Well, shall we show you were your room is?"

"Okay." he said looking slightly bewildered. Picking up the bedding he followed Georgia up the stairs with me following pursuit. The room he was staying wasn't exciting. It had four cream coloured walls with two picture frames with the original paper photo still inside. The single wooden bed stood waiting for someone to sleep on and bring the room to life. The simple decor was barely touched, a small wardrobe, chest of drawers and a bedside table. He made the bed with a bit of help from Georgia. It turned out he hadn't brought anything. I didn't want to question why but mum said that he was going to wear some of Ryan's old clothes. I found a small lamp and a couple of books he might want to read.

I took him into Ryan's room; he also had a walk-in-wardrobe. Picking up the clothes Tommy liked he dumped them in my arms. Jeans, tack-suit bottoms, tops, jackets, trainers, tie, shirts, coats, everything. Falling up the stairs with the clothes and Tommy behind me we got to his room in one piece. Georgia was sitting on his ready-made bed reading a book when we stumbled into his room laughing! She sat up promptly like she had been caught doing something she shouldn't. "Do you want me to help?" she asked Tommy.

"I think we are alright here thank you!" he replied taking the first item off the pile of clothes that lay spread across the floor. She just glared at me and carried on reading her book while we started on putting the clothes in the wardrobe.

Tommy could be quite funny when he wanted to be and got along with everyone in the family. He was always in the Gym with my dad doing workouts, weights anything to get his already well-toned body even more so. It was quite distracting sometimes because he would often appear in the gym in just shorts, and would wander around the top floor in just his boxer shorts. His tanned body moving past my eyes. He didn't seem to notice the looks he kept getting from me and my sisters and more often Georgia. Being the oldest in the family Maddie always thought it was up to her to tell him what to do. He always did as she told him too and he was soon rapped around her little finger.

We all knew we had a mission coming up soon, we hadn't had one in a while and we were all getting restless and bored of the Gym. We didn't know where we were going but we knew it was going to be tough and a tester mission. Mum wanted to know what Tommy's mission ability was. This was going to be fun!

We were just finishing off in the Gym and heading back to the house to get a snack before disappearing off into one of the many showers. Mum was sitting at the Kitchen table with a map book in her hands. She had her finger on a county and you could tell she was thinking. "Girls and Tommy. We are going to Greece, and it’s going to be hot."
