Do you remember when Marlee went price checking for more Christmas merchandise? And do you remember that she ordered more things at higher prices thinking that she would make more money?
What was some of the merchandise that she ordered? Let's see, I think some Christmas suits, and hats, and pajamas. She ordered lots of things that she probably shouldn't have. Well, Felix saw the order on Marlee's tablet and sent pictures of her order to the secret agents. Guess what? Yes, they intercepted the order and had some of those things sent to them. They ordered just their size and they fit perfectly. They slipped into the back of the Magic Train that Grandma Lu had told the children about the last time she read them a story. Since they were in disguise in their Christmas outfits no one questioned whether they should be on the Magic Train.
When the train stopped at the local train station the Secret Agents slipped into the upstairs through an open window. The window that Felix had left open for them, of course.
They quietly slipped into a small room that had only one (1) chair and a very small Christmas tree. The man was holding a small kitten that also was in disguise. He had a Christmas stocking cap on. (That kitten was a cousin of Felix.) Beside the chair was a small Christmas tree that had all different colored lights and was topped with a Christmas stocking cap on also. Surrounding the Christmas tree were some brightly wrapped "gifts" that Felix had arranged.
It was not known to anyone but Felix, but these two (2) secret agents were from the North Pole. Their big boss was Santa Claus and he had sent them to Marleewood. There had been an accident at the North Pole warehouse where they loaded up the toy 4 wheelers for good little boys and girls that had put them on their wish list in their Santa letters.
The little blue 4 wheeler that had been seen only by Marlee and at last by her daddy, was supposed to be on Santa's sleigh; It was supposed to go to a little boy that lived on a farm. Oh, how he wanted a blue 4 wheeler. He sure did hope that Santa made his wish come true. He had tried ever so hard to be good all year long.
Well like most mysteries, there was a twist and turn. This story was no exception. Do you also remember the rider on that little blue 4 wheeler that Marlee saw? Think really hard. Remember the hand signal that neither Marlee nor her daddy could understand? The rider was signaling for the Grandmother of the Secret Agents. It seemed like she was never there when she was needed lately. But this evening was different. It had snowed and there were little twinkle lights that made Marleewood look like a Winter Wonderland, and who should appear, but the secret agents' Grandmother!
She saw the hand signal and picked up the little toy blue 4 wheeler. The rider whispered in her ear. She gave the rider a nod and up the stairs she went. (No one was there but the secret agents). She gave the two (2) a stern look and said, "You, my dear grandchildren! I love you truly, but you have been driving little Marlee crazy! Now take your little blue 4 wheeler and skidaddle back to the North Pole as fast as you can. There is a little boy sound asleep with a bell in his hand hoping against hope that Santa is real. You will make it so!"
There was a swish of wind and the chair was empty! No Secret Agents, and no Felix.
Christmas magic. However, don't think that you won't hear from Felix again.
I want to read the end of the story on Christmas morning. We should be able to tie up some of those loose ends I would think anyway....

Jo Anne is a good good friend of Marlee's grandma and me. I have a feeling she will be very surprised when she reads this story. She loves Marlee so very much. The secret agents are, in fact, her granddaughter and her friend. Hope you enjoyed this little series!
