RESCUE - Part 2

Chapter 38 - pizza please.

"What you scowling at?" I looked at my phone "it's mom" I answered the phone quickly "mom?" 'I'd like to order a pizza please for delivery' "mom it's Charlie" 'yeah I know, can I have a large meat feast with extra BBQ sauce?' I put her on loud speaker "mom, you do know you've called me right?" 'Yes, do you know how long it'll be?' "Are you okay? Is something wrong?" 'Yes that's right' I looked at mouse "is he there, is that why you can't talk?" 'Yes that's correct, do you know how long it'll be?' "I'm pulling my boots on right now, does he have a weapon?" 'No' "can you stay on the phone with me?" 'No, see you soon!' She hung up the phone as I looked at mouse before jumping out of bed, pulling on my boots and grabbing mouse's signed baseball bat from the wall "you can't use that!" "Watch me!" I grabbed my car keys and jumped in the car "but it's signed!!" "I'll buy you a new one come on!" He slid into the passenger seat.

We got to her house, "you actually got a plan?" "Get in, kill him, get out" I nodded at mouse "and if it goes wrong?" "What makes you think it'll go wrong?" before he could stop me I jumped out the car and kicked the door to my mums house in and met Timothy, caught in the act, holding my mother on the floor, fist mid air "what the hell?!" He stood up quickly, mouse saw to mom, I had the bat on my shoulder as I walked toward Timothy "what the hell do you think you can do to me? You're in skimpy pj shorts, and a tank top with no bra, yeah I noticed" he smirked at me "well you didn't notice the baseball bat sat on my shoulder?" "You can't hurt me" "wanna risk it" he looked between me and the door "run for it, I'm breaking your knee caps" he suddenly darted for the door, and soon met the end of my bat as he fell to the floor "AH YOU BITCH YOU'VE BROKEN MY LEG!" I knelt down next to him "actually...its just muscle damage, this is what a broke leg feels like" I dropped the bat on the same spot...he let out a blood curdling scream, before standing up, and making his way out to the door.

Car engine headlights lit up the front of the house, as several men got out of the truck and stood there in a line, squinting my eyes I saw the outline of several familiar men "spencer?" "Hey Charlie! Timothy, you either come and get in the police car over there, with no hassle, or we'll drag you there broken leg and all" Timothy got to his feet, and made a run to Spence, bad move, the rest of the lads tackled him to the floor and dragged him to the police car, the ops threw handcuffs over his wrists and threw him in the back "SHE BROKE MY LEG" the cop turned to me "he fell down the stairs right?" Henry, the older police man smiled knowingly and got into the car as they drove off sirens blaring. I turned to Spence "how?" "Mouse called us for backup not that you needed any! What did you do to his leg?!" "He fell down the stairs....like the nice cop said" I smiled as the street lit up with a flash "what in earth?!?" "Sorry Charlie, I'm with the Dailey beach! Smile!" He flashed the camera in my face once more before he scurried off.

We eventually got mother to hospital, she had a few cracked ribs, broken nose and damaged hand an elbow "that was a clever idea, how'd you come up with it?" "I saw it on tv once, I'd had enough Charlie, I'd had enough pain, but you showed him who's boss" "certainly did! Now, you need to rest, I'll be back tomorrow oKay?" She nodded, kissed my cheek and rolled over in her bed as I walked out the room to meet mouse "how's my badass wife?" "Bloody knackered!" He chuckled as he wrapped his arm around my shoulder and walked down the hospital corridor.

The following morning, after dropping flowers and grapes at the hospital, I got to work "Charlie you have the lovely job of candidate duty" hippo grinned at me before scuttling off down to the beach "great, I'm bloody knackered, and now I've got new candidate" "hey...if they don't listen, do one of two things..." "What are throw two thing?" "If they're mine, flash em, if they still don't listen here's my bat" "you're not funny" "no I'm hilarious" I rolled my eyes before walking down the the front of the tower where they all stood waiting.

Okay guys, you'll be shadowing me all day, I hear you where here yesterday so you should know all the ropes!" None of them spoke "does anyone have any questions?" They stayed silent "no? Okay, you're all trained lifeguards by pools, the beach is a much scarier and a lot more dangerous place, keep your eyes open at all times! Now move your asses and get down south where whippet is waiting for you, this is also the time where nicknames get made, don't make your nickname shitsurfer lets go!" They all scurried off except one...a woman, perfect figure, perfect hair, makeup and nails "excuse me?" "Trina right?" She nodded as she stood in front of me "hey can I have a word?" "Sure what can I do for ya?" "Permission to speak freely?" I looked at her and nodded to continue "I don't think Samuel is suited for the role, I wouldn't trust my life with him and this job is all about trust, I'm ready to give my life for this job, I don't think he is, could you have a word, I think he needs to be kicked of the course" "I'll have a word....thanks" I watched her as she ran, very prettily down the beach.

After lunch I grabbed Sam "Hey Sam! Can I have a quick word?", trina saw me take him into a room "I'm so sorry about yesterday! I know what people have been saying and-" "hey! Whoa, hold on nelly! it's okay, it's natural to be scared, hell sometimes I'm still scared to go into that water, yknow, I'm here, to train you to not be scared to go into the water, into the crashing waves, that's what im here for alright" "Thankyou" "feel better?" "Much!" "Good, now ignore trina okay" he nodded as we both walked out the room

Once Sam had gone I noticed Trina flirting with mouse, wasn't having that! I grabbed my arm and dragged her away politely "did you have a word" she fixed her hair "I did yeah" "and?" "And you're off the course" I looked at her "what? I can't be, I'm the best out there" "not as good as any of us lifeguards, and this team works as a family, we stick by each other, no backstabbing, no gossiping, and yknow what, we may have our flaws but my god we are closer then a real family, so you're off this course, grab your bag your day ends here" "do you know who my father is" she snapped at me "no, and frankly I don't give a shit-" "he is the richest man on this island, he can just pay for me to be in here" "well dear ol daddy can get ready candidate, this is my lifeguard tower, and I'll protect it at all costs, money doesn't buy skills that you need, goodbye candidate" she tutted loudly and scurried out the tower, as she slammed the door I heard giggling.

I walked up the stairs, the lads huddled around the computer "what are you doing?" "Looking good Charlie" whip smirked "what?" I forced my way into the circle, and there, on the screen, a picture of me, from last night, the lads turned to me for my reaction "well! At least my boobs look perky still!" I nodded and stood up pleased with my body, "I'm up for a drink...anyone wanna go to summers cocktail place tonight?" They all looked at me "I'm buying!" "We're in!" They all chimed up in chorus.
