RESCUE - Part 2

Chapter 17 - new trrainee

I fell through the door, the bags under my arms full of Halloween goodies, and one extremely heavy bag that mouse was happy to take off me...a bag full of pumpkins...I took everything out and laid it on the table, all mouse was doing was messing around with the pumpkins "Look." I walked towards him slowly, a fake knife in my hand "I may seem calm and reserved at the minute...but mess with the those pumpkins again, I will break out a level of crazy that will make your nightmares...seem like a happy place" I was close to his face as he put the pumpkin down slowly "You're scary sometimes...brilliant...but scary" "now, we are running late for work are ya ready?" Mouse jingled his keys as we ran out the door and got to work just as they were opening.

It was Halloween in a day and I was buzzing, and Everyone got the message when I blasted thriller through my speakers, we weren't busy, it was pretty much dead outside so I decided to cheer everyone up "it's close to midnight and something evil is a lurking in the dark" I whispered in mouse's ear "don't do that!" He shuddered as I ran my nail up whips neck "under the moonlight you see a sight that a almost stops your heart" whip couldn't help but smile as I covered Jessie's mouth "to try to scream, but terror takes the sound before you make it" maxi squealed as I covered his eyes "you start to freeze as horror looks you right between the eyes....you're paralysed" I jumped up with my arms in position "CUZ THIS IS THRILLER" I danced around, Maxi and Jessie joining in, "think she's excited?" Whip leant into mouse "what gave to away, the pranks? The song? The dancing or the bloody thing she does when she whispers like that in my ear enough to get the hairs on my neck standing on edge? I don't know how she does it but she manages it every time" I plonked myself breathlessly on his knee "here" I handed them a ticket I'd made earlier "did these yourself?" "Of course" "horror film?" Whip raised an eyebrow "yeah, I'm Chucky, and mouse is Johnny" "Johnny?" Mouse looked at me "yeah! As in hereeeeeesssss Johnny!....the shining...come on dude!" He looked at me clueless "tonight, we're watching films..." I followed his eyes as a young man walked in.

He was dressed in a Lifeguard uniform, "who's he?" I whispered to maxi "your new trainee, meet Robert" whip smiled at me slightly "my new....new trainee" my heart beat sped up, "right..." "Hey Robert would you care to follow maxi there to the changing room and he'll get you sorted" Robert smiled nervously and followed maxi as whip took my hands "Charlie you don't have to do this, but I thought" "I'll do it, but I'm establishing rules with him first, okay" whip smiled as he nodded "alright, just go easy on the poor lad, his face when I told him it was you at he mentor, he turned ghastly white and almost past out on me" "oh great..." I sighed as Robert walked in "Charlie smile" I smiled as nicely as I could and spun around "Robert! Fancy coming with me in rhino and we can watch north" "yeah s...s...sure" "great" I grabbed the keys and walked out, Robert followed.

We got up north and sat there, no one was swimming it was boring as hell "okay, let's get things straight right from the beginning, I'm married, I have a wonderful family and if you even consider TOU-" "I'm not going to attack you" my head snapped to him "what?" "I won't rape you, I swear, I would never hurt you, I'm literally your number one fan" "....oh" "I'm sorry, I didn't want to make this awkward, that's why I nearly fainted when whippet told me who was my mentor..." "Oh bless...." I pulled him into a hug "sorry I didn't want to come off as a bitch but, when what's happened I just wanted to set the rules" "I can't blame you" he smiled at me as we continued to watch the water, "come on them, tell me something about you" I tried to pass the time of day with him, "well I'm Robert-" "no no, interesting things, I know your name, your age" "okay, I bought a Chevrolet Impala because I saw you drive it in the show, I have a tattoo of a quote that you said, I've been to every single convention you've done, and I'm a sucker for Michael buble" he smiled proudly of himself "you have a tattoo?" He rolled his sleeve up "wow" "you said it on Bondi rescue, the first season" "speaking of Bondi rescue here come the cameras" a bug camera crew came hurtling towards us "Charlie! Can you do something interesting?" "What's up fellas? Just as bored as we are?" The cameramen laughed "something interesting.... Ha, y'know what I do have an idea" I winked as I drove us up to the tower.

"you have got to be kidding me" mouse opened his eyes as he looked in the mirror "not at all now go down there and give sweets out to the kids out there! Maxi go and play the Halloween music get everyone joining in, Jessie...disco time! We are having a Halloween beach party". The cameras were rolling, the guys had used all of my makeup to make themselves look horrific....mouse was Frankenstein, Jessie was Dracula, maxi....was me, he thought it was hilarious, whip was a flower, Robert was a zombie and I was bride of Frankenstein, we'd Meade our way down to the beach, the Bondi rescue cameras following us as we handed out sweets to the kids, maxi was playing thriller, getting the kids dancing as well as the adults, it was a good ol' disco, and everyone was loving it.

I was allowed to get off early to sort out the house, before I left I gave Robert and everyone else their invites, before rushing off home and getting things ready, that included ordering Italian, pretending I made it as usual and stuck the great smelling stuff in the oven. I'd set the movie Marathon up and thought to myself....ill try and do the decorations...it was going SO well, until I got my foot stuck in the fake spider cobwebs, and ended up being dangled, upside down over the table, luckily, with help from a keep out banner I reached the remote, and started to watch supernatural....upside down. I was doing well until mouse walked in "oh good my knight in shining armour" I looked at him, my face was red my head hurt "what are you doin?" "It's my new way of watching tv you like it?" "Not really" "no me neither please get my foot untangled....before I pass out" with one swift movement I was untied and free, after lots of kisses I brought out the food "is this from that Italian place that you pretend to do as your own" "I didn't think you knew..." I ate the pizza "oh I knew" he grinned at me.

That night tucked up in bed we'd watched most of the scary films I needed him to watch, I knew he'd like them, what I didn't know is the after effect they'd have on him...."Charlie check the wardrobe" he nudged my side "what?!" "You heard! Do it!" I sighed got out of bed and opened the door slowly, "ARGH ITS GOT ME ITS GOT ME!!!!!!!" "AGH CHARLIE!!" He threw himself under the duvet cover, and here was me thinking my knight in shining armour would come and save me...I climbed into bed next to him and stuck myself to him like a limpet, "come on ya big sissy" he wrapped his arm around he me tightly before I could hear his gentle snoring.
