   Having already decorated his own bedroom and built his double bed and
put a lock on the door, Lucy had kicked off that she wanted the same. 
Leanne had said no at first but Lucy had worn her down and promised her mum
she would be better behaved.  Brad had told Lucy that he would need the
whole weekend to decorate her room and assemble all her furniture.  Lucy,
for once being extremely grateful, arranged a sleepover at her friend
Alyssa's house on Saturday night.  Brad set to work immediately very early
one Saturday morning, much to Lucy's annoyance that she had to get up at
such a ridiculous hour.  By the end of the first day he had already done
all of the prep work, put one coat of light pink paint on the walls and
glossed the woodwork.  It was once Lucy had left to go to Alyssa's house
that he started putting his secret plan into place.

   Brad had bought secret cameras.  Two were pin-hole cameras that fitted
into the light fittings, one in the ceiling and one on the wall above
Lucy's new bed.  The third was disguised as a safe and much bigger and gave
a higher definition picture than the other two.  The safe had two large
dials.  One was a fake and was where the camera lens was.  The other dial
acted as a normal safe dial and the right code allowed entry in the camera
itself.  Brad placed this behind Lucy's full length mirror.  Brad had
measured the cavity space and it just fitted and he positioned the safe
half way up the mirror.  Brad reckoned even in the unlikely event of
someone finding the safe, they would not recognise what it was and Brad
could pass it off as having always been there from previous owners.  Brad
used extra strength stainless steel cavity wall anchor bolts that required
a special tool to fit the head to loosen them.  Even then, the cavity wall
brackets locked in on the other side of the wall and it was very difficult
to detach them without damaging the wall or using a special saw.  In order
to explain the new bolts, Brad had claimed that he had broken Lucy's
existing mirror and had to replace it, thus explaining the different look
that the bolts gave the mirror even though they were covered by little
plastic silver caps.  Brad had used 12 bolts in total to add to the
difficulty in removing it as well as using special industrial impact
adhesive to attach the mirror to the wall.  He only hoped he never had to
require access.

   The light cameras worked whether the lights were on or off and both
light fittings were fixed with cavity wall anchor screws and the fittings
were also soldered together to prevent anyone getting easy access.  Even if
they did get access they would probably struggle to see anything obviously
untowards.  The ceiling camera also had a microphone as well so that Brad
could hear what was going on.  All cameras fed through to Brad's room,
which was next door, via electric cable.  Brad was well pleased with his
work and he had exaggerated how much the decorating would cost to his
mother to get some more money, plus added some of his own savings in as
well to pay the two hundred and ten pounds that it cost for all the kit. 
By midnight he had finished and the next day he spent putting the final
coats on the walls and woodwork as well as building her furniture.

   When Lucy arrived back Sunday evening he showed Lucy her new room.  As
you walked through her door her new double bed was immediately on the left.
Above the bed was a wall light with a switch down at the right hand side of
the bed.  On the right as you walked in were her desk, with her computer,
and her wardrobe.  Straight ahead was her dressing table and window.  The
mirror was at the bottom left of the room.  As you walked down to the
bottom of the bed and turned left ninety degrees, you immediately faced the
mirror and you walked along the bottom of the bed as you approached the
mirror.  Lucy loved it.  She especially loved her grown up double bed as
she flopped herself on it and also the large playboy bunny that Brad had
painted using a stencil above her bed with a few other smaller ones dotted
around the room, all at her request.

   Leanne had protested about the playboy imagery but Brad had explained
that the playboy brand was very popular with girls that age.  The wall
light was about a foot below the playboy bunny and Brad showed her the
switch to work it.  He also explained about the mirror and how he had had
to buy a new one.  Brad also pointed out the new lock he had put on her
door.  She loved it and everything about her room and gave her big brother
a big hug.

   Brad had explained to Lucy after she had calmed down that this was a
grown up girl's bedroom and that it had cost their mum a lot of money, well
for them anyway.  She needed to show her appreciation and also act more
like a grown up and stop being such a pain to their mother all the time. 
She said she definitely would but Brad was not convinced a leopard could
change their spots that easily.

   Brad could not see anything from the video cameras until the special
software that he had ordered had arrived and it did not come through the
post until the following Tuesday.  Brad was eager to get his new toy all
set up.  Brad started to work as soon as he got home from school.  He
locked his door and loaded the software onto his laptop.  Once loaded he
tested all connections and crossed his fingers.  He jumped for joy when he
saw that connections from the test report were ok.  It was time to access
the video pictures.  He first accessed `camera one' on the wall behind the
mirror.  Lucy was not home from school yet as she had gymnastic practice on
a Tuesday after school, but Brad wanted to see that the camera worked and
it did.  He was pleased with the picture on his massive 20 inch monitor. 
It was better than he expected and everything was clear.  Brad and Lucy's
dad had treated both Lucy and Brad to new laptops the Christmas before as
well as docking stations with big monitors, webcams and all the latest
technology.  Brad tested `camera two' in the ceiling and as with `camera
one', the picture quality was exactly the same.  He eagerly anticipated
viewing camera 3 and was blown away by the picture quality.  It was an
impressive high definition picture with incredible detail.  Brad could see
Lucy's laptop on the far side of the room in great detail.  He could not
wait for Lucy to get home.  He played some more with the software working
out how to record and save videos.  He would work out how to edit them
later.
