i launched
into Haggerstone island . . . . by boat from Hicks Island after
a 2 hour 600klm flight out of Cairns . .
. . Haggerstone
is hard to get to and probably hard to get off.
The crime convention
sent was drying up . . when i received another cell phone message
- "Tyrone is waiting for you in the kwila hut" - somebody
had my measure but who were they and what was their problem.
The family run
island appeared abandoned - as i glanced back the drop off boat
seemed to be taking in water as the 2 crew hurried to beach the
boat. 2 oriental travelers were positioned on the jetty as the sinking
craft with a taught tie rope dragged the timber pear into the turquoise
waters.
Just as one
tourist became impaled on a splintered hardwood pier slat an explosion
on starboard engulfed the beleaguered crew - flaming torsos hit
the water with one seaman smashing face first into a slightly submerged
coral reef festoon.
As i considered
my options large manta rays moved in on the bodies - another sms
hampered my thinking - Tyrone was waiting.
I gave the remaining
oriental my back up phone and headed for answers at the kwila hut
- Tyrone was the only lead i had.
Everything in
the hut was kwila except the bed sheets - Tyrone was here - he had
himself positioned like a half open pocket knife underneath the
fly canopy - reclining in silk - i was sickened. He whispered, "
i believe your looking for the Asia Pacific crime convention"
- he may of been a looker once but currently it was more of a sun
drenched mono-brow with ear hair.
I reached for
a handy spear gun and aimed at his 5th appendage - in retort, "you
look like you have been taking volume pills - supply answers because
at this stage i haven't been taking my HERSOLUTION".
Tyrone, if that is who he was emerged from his slippery manner and
lunged.
It may have
been misfortune but the spear apparatus ignited into his genitalia
