This is just a short story of the story Sammy for those who haven't read it and want to read Time's Enemy. Time's Enemy isn't strictly speaking a sequel but it does contian a few references to the evnts which happned in Sammy and Sammy is featured as one of the main characters.
Sammy was a little boy who was badly treated by his father. She was never particularly violent, but she didn't have a clue how to look after a child. One thing she was certain of though, is that she did not want Sammy's murderous father Pete anywhere near the two of them. Unfortunately Pete had been tracking them for some time and eventually Sammy's mother is forced to abandon him in the hope that someone will find him before Pete does. She knew that Pete would kill her when he found her without Sammy, but she did it to make sure he didn't find the boy. The person who actually found him is brian and he takes an immediate shine to the little boy and decides to adopt him as his own. However problems are caused when Pete finds both of them and kidnaps them. He was furious that Brian had been playing at being a father to Sammy and threatens him and even tries to kill him. In the end Brian and Sammy are both rescued and Pete is killed after a car accident plunged him into the sea. Brian is later told that he couldn't keep Sammy, so his parents adopt him instead. In Sammy's eyes though, Brian is his father.
Basically, Brian has an adopted son called Sammy who he loves like his own little boy. I decided to include Sammy as a character in this story as well.
