"Welcome home, Sydney." Claire said, hugging her daughter, who hasn't been home for more than 2 years. Claire was a tall woman, with bright blue eyes and black hair with a few of gray hairs. She used to be principal of a school; years ago, she met Shane Wolfe, a SEAL; Shane was taking care of the Plummer family. A year later, they got married and had a baby girl, they named her Sydney.

"Thanks mom! I missed you a lot! " The 24 girl said hugging her mother.; she was a middle-high brunnette girl, as her mother, but she had her father's black eyes. She gave her mom a big smile and turned to her father. The reason of why Sydney hadn't been home was that she was finally promoted to 'agent #1'. At her age, Sydney was the best and youngest of the secret agents. Being an agent for the S.O.S (Spying On Secret) organization wasn't easy; no one could knew about her, just her mom and dad, for everyone else she was the journalist Sydney, who wrote columns in 'The New York Times'.

"Welcome Ney" The tall and bold man said; he had just retired from his work. He did a great job as a SEAL, saving the USA. He protected the GHOST project from the Plummer's family.

Sydney hugged her father and smiled. "Thanks, dad." She answered. "Guess what, I got promoted! I'm the number one now! She said with a really big smile. His father chuckled.
"When I was the number one, they got me to be a baby-sitter" Shane said chuckling.
"Har-Har. Very funny..."
"I'm so proud of you, hun" Claire said and hugged her daughter again. "Now, you better go and take a nap, then I'll call you for dinner. You seem to be tired"
"Thanks mom" Sydney said and kissed both of her parents' cheek. She headed up to her room and looked around, she smiled. This was going to be a good week, she finally had an entire week of vacation that she could spend with her family. She smiled and sat on her bed, she lay on the bed and fell asleep.

An hour later, she woke up to her beeping celphone, she sighed rubbing her eyes and she grabbed it from her purse.
'Watch the news' the text read. Sydney sighed and turned the T.V. on. Even in my vacations, I need to work. She thought.

"BREAKING NEWS! PEOPLE HAD BEEN KIDNAPPED IN GREAT BARRINGTON. A GROUP OF KIDNAPERS HAD BEEN ATTACKING THE SMALL TOWN OF MASSACHUSETTS! " The reporter girl announced, Sydney's eyes widened as those words were said. She felt sorry for the families, but right now she was in her vacations, and perhaps the FBI was taking care of it. She sighed as her mom called her for dinner.

"So, darling. Who's the youngest and the best 'journalist' Huh?" Claire winked at her daughter, after having a great dinner. They had spaguetti and meat balls. Sydney smiled letting a big spoon full of chocolate ice cream in her mouth. Sydney chuckled and sighed.
"Did you watch the news? People had been kidnapped in Great Barrington" Shane said and shook his head. "Why did I retire again? I could go... And help them"
"Dad, you helped many people" Sydney said, smiling. "Now, it's my turn"
"Yes, you've done many things, and we are proud of you" Shane smiled at her daughter, and then looked at his wife. He still remembered how he fell in love with her, how she accepted to marry him.

"About... That. I'm sorry. But I'm leaving in an hour" Sydney said, and looked down, she felt ashamed since she just got there.

"What? But you just got here!" Claire protested at her daughter.

"I know, but they just called me, and I'm going to take care of a family! So they don't get kidnapped! And perhaps... I need to investigate about it, and they asked me to 'write' about certain families" Sydney said, 'WRITE' was a code, when she said that she meant that she was going to 'spy' on them.

"But this are your free days! They can't do that!" Shane yelled standing up.
"They asked me if I wanted to do it and I accept it" Sydney answered with a calmed voice, she knew that if she argued things will get worse.

"Why would you do that?" Claire asked her daughter, clearly mad at her. "We barely see you!"
"You guys don't even know who the family is!" Sydney said, starting to get annoyed.

"No! But why would I care? I want to spend time with my daughter!" Shane said in a disguted tone of voice, something normal, since the last time he saw her was three years ago.
"It is Lulu's family. Lulu Collins née Plummer." Sydney said, Shane's heart sank and he sat down trying to contain the tears.
"Go for them."
