TOM HAD BEEN driven at the fastest speed to his best friend, Christopher's, house.

He hadn't been able to find a suitable car for him- although anything he brought had to have some sort of secret compartment or something in order for him to feel safe at this moment. 

"Y-yep, thanks." Tom whispered as he paid the man and he drove off. Walking up to the door, Tom took a deep breath before knocking. 

The door then slowly opened. 

"Oh, hi Tom!" Sarah cried out. 

"Hi.." Tom rubbed the back of his neck, and smiled slightly- since it had been a while since he had seen Sarah. 

Behind Sarah, Tom could hear Chris' children squealing and giggling. And he reflected on the fact that Sarah knew what the consequences where of being married to a spy was. 

Even though they were surprisingly calm. 

"W-would you like to come in?" Sarah asked and Tom bowed his head. "Tom?" Her voice broke through and Tom lifted his head. 

"Hm?" 

"D-do, you want to come inside?" Sarah smiled sweetly and Tom nodded lightly. "Come in, come in!" Sarah and Tom wrapped their arms around each other. "My god its been a very long time!" 

"It has." Tom chuckled and they released from each other. 

Sarah closed the door and arched her arms onto her back. 

"Josh, Megan, Millie!" She shouted and sighed. "Come say hello to Uncle Tom!" The three children giggled and ran up to Tom, throwing their arms around his legs. 

"Oh, aha, hi little ones." Sarah smiled and Tom faced her. He glanced at her baby bump. "Congratulations, Chris hasn't told me yet." Sarah inhales deeply and wraps her jumper around it.

"Thank you Tom. Chris just... well, he's been through a lot lately. Would you like a drink?" She offered and Tom placed his hands around his hips while Megan, Millie and Josh released their arms from Tom's legs. 

"Uncle Tom!" Tom immediately looked down. "We made a strawberry smoothie with Mommy! Want to try some?" Megan shouted out and Sarah tilted her head, simpering. 

"S-sure." Megan rushed to the kitchen, Josh and Millie following her. 

"Haha, they love it when people come around." Sarah and Tom walked into the living room. "They haven't seen you in a long time too." Sarah groaned and instantly, Tom  looked at her. 

"Alright? Need help?" He asked, frowning for a moment. 

Damn, he just fell in humanity for a second. And, he felt a little bit better. 

"T-thanks, but it's fine, I'll stand. Even though my feet are swelling up- it's crazy." For a moment, she chuckled. "Eager to help Tom. I think you need to tell that to Christopher." Tom laughed. 

"Oh, I tell him that all the time." Megan, Tom and Millie paced inside, each holding a part of the glass. Tom found it so adorable and Sarah giggled. 

"Here Uncle Tom." Tom took the glass and sipped at the smoothie. 

"Nice, thanks kids." Megan, Millie and Josh cheered and rushed out of the room. "I'm sorry Sarah, I can't stay for long. I wanted Chris, but I guess he isn't home." Suddenly, there was a crease in the middle of Sarah's eyebrows. 

"I know, I... don't know where he is. All he said was that he had a meeting and... I'm not sure." Tom nodded. "Do you think he's in trouble? God... he's in trouble." 

"Don't worry Sarah... I'm sure he's fine." He smiled in comfort at Sarah- he had never done that before- but he had always helped people, so in way it was familiar. "Did, Chris take his phone?" Sarah shook her head. "I'll track him and bring him back. Even if his ass is stuck in traffic." Tom smiled smugly. 

"Bring my husband back Tom." 

Tom was sure that he wanted to bring Christopher back- he was his friend and Christopher had worked with him for a very long time. 

As soon as Tom got back, he called his old spy base- and a particular old friend- Andrew Birch- otherwise known as Mr Geek Computer Guy. 

"Hello, Andrew, hey do me a favour..." 

And that was around an hour ago. Tom was determined to find his friend. 

Little did he know someone was watching through his window. 

Tom fiddled with papers and photos and brushed his fingers through his hair. 

"Knock, knock." Tom scrambled to his feet the vase. Elena widened her eyes. "Whoa, whoa!" Sighing, Tom placed the vase back down. 

"Elena, how... how did you get in?" He breathed heavily and Elena stepped inside his living room.  

"The door was open." Tom groaned. "What's wrong?" 

Elena pressed her hand against his back and Tom looked at her. 

He slightly opened his mouth and let the words pour out. Although, he didn't know that he should have...
