"Oh man, I'm not running don't worry. I'm sprinting for my life, quite literally." I chuckled a bit but they looked at me like I was crazy.
"Where do you think your heading or want to head?" Riley asked.
"Probably QLD or the NT..... Not sure really. Whys that?"
Riley looked at his creaming soda before back to me, "I'm going up to DevonPort in two days for a job, I was gonna take the float anyway to pick up a horse just past there. The fella that owns the place I'm gonna work on knows dad, you're more than welcome to come along and if he doesn't have any jobs available there are always other places looking for work. I would actually appreciate the company."
I smiled slightly getting excited he seemed genuine. "Are you sure you don't mind it would make the trip slower?"
"Its absolutely fine."
"He drives like snail anyway." One of the other guys said and they all cracked up. I looked at him with grateful eyes, "Thank you, really thank you."
And that is my story and how I got to work in the best place in the world with some of the best people.
