The lifeguard lifestyle

Chapter 9 - Mom? *Harrison*

*Harrison*

     Harrison became confused as he saw two of the film crew walk through the open doorway.

     They were supposed to be taking a weeks break from filming. He was looking foreword to not being followed everywhere he went.

     "What are you guys doing, I thought you were taking a week off?" He spoke up.

     "Yeah mate, we were looking through the footage and there's not a lot going on, so we have to film a bit more action."

     Harrison turned around and rolled his eyes so they couldn't see. He put his binoculars up to his face.

     Bondi was notorious for action, there was always something going on. The fact that they didn't think they had good footage was astonishing to Harrison.

     Apparently Elyse thought so too, because he heard her voice as she came into the tower.

     "I thought you guys took a week off of filming," she said accusingly.

     "We didn't have enough good footage," the camera woman shrugged.

     Harrison grinned as she stalked past them.

     She sat down next to Harrison and gave him a look. He rolled his eyes at the crew.

     "I can wait for my every move to be documented again," she joked. Harrison smiled, he knew she was just trying to make the best of the situation.

     As more people crowded onto the beach, the busier it got. At least 100 rescues, and it wasn't even noon. Not to mention the people who came to the tower with major cuts and bluebottle stings.

     After a while, it settled down, and Harrison got to take a sip of water.

     "I feel stressed and I'm only in the tower, imagine how the boys feel," Harrison shook his head. "At least it's not a super hot day out."

     There was only one crew member in the tower, because most of the drama was out on the beach. They always had one person filming in the tower, incase something good for the show happened.

     He watched as Elyse opened her water bottle  too and took a sip.

     "I hope nothing super bad happens," Harrison mischievously said, tempting fate. He figured that nothing else would happen, he didn't believe in that stuff.

     She gave him an astonishing look and slapped his arm. Harrison rolled his eyes, and they got silent, waiting for the radio to crack, or a knock at the tower door.

     Five seconds later, the phone rang out. Harrison laughed as Elyse turned her head and gave him a, 'Thanks a lot,' look.

     "Bondi Lifeguards, this is Elyse speaking."

     Harrison waited for her to let him know what it was about. It was a known rule to inform the rest of the lifeguards after a phone call. She looked over to Harrison and rolled her eyes.

     Harrison raised his eyebrows and waited.

     "Yes, this is she, is there anything I can help you with," she said. Harrison's eyes focused on her expression. Elyse's face had dropped.

     Harrison watched her with concern as she faced away from him. Now he was very concerned. This had to be serious, but he wasn't sure what it could be about.

     He leaned closer to try and hear the conversation. He heard her whisper, "How did you find me?" Harrison watched ad she put her hand over the receiver. That meant, it must be personal?
