Some people worry a lot, you know. Even if things are good, they worry because

they've got nothing to worry about.

Me, I never worry. The way I look at it, no matter how bad things get, you can

always find an upside.

Like take the fact that Martin in the shower comes after Charlie. You can bet

your life is always going to be slow.

Hey Charlie, are you going to be out of there before lunchtime?

One minute, okay?

Okay.

Every day it's always one minute.

Now this could be seriously annoying, but it isn't.

Here's why.

Morning. Hey Bridget.

Having to wait means I get to see a gorgeous girl first thing in the

How bad is that? And if I'm kept waiting longer, I'm forced to see two gorgeous

girls. Oh, good morning.

Oh,

hi, Guy. Hey, Cathy.

Then if Charlie's super slow, I can get really lucky and see a third gorgeous

chick. Hey, Guy.

Hey, Lauren.

Bridget, you forgot your towel.

Thank you.

See what I mean?

It might be a pain having to hang about, but what a great way to start the day.

Oh, are you all right there?

Yeah.

Couldn't be better.

Even with heavy -duty stuff like training, the secret is not to get too

about it. Take in the view, smell the air.

Come on, guys, pick up the pace. We're going to pick more laps when we're done.

Of course, the coach might have a slightly different attitude.

And when it comes to surfing, I never worry. I just do it.

Let's face it, how could you possibly worry when you're doing something like

this?

How is it that on land, a guy putts along like a second -hand tractor, then

jumps on a surfboard and suddenly he's a Ferrari?

He's one of those lucky people that never feels pressure, you know? Every

a Saturday.

Saturday has to end eventually, doesn't it? Maybe, but he sure is making the

most of it while it lasts.

Overall, life's a great thing.

and right now couldn't get much better.

Great place, great surf, and great people, especially the people.

After two months together, I thought we owed ourselves a bit of a celebration.

I'd got a few bucks stashed away and figured this would be as good a way as

to use it.

Guys, these are on me, right? Specially made to my own very secret recipe.

They're unique.

I'd believe that. Yeah, no one else could have possibly come up with

that looks like this.

How are you supposed to drink these? It's like some sort of guilt test.

Settle, settle.

We're listening, aren't we, Bridget? We're all ears and we're wondering what

this sudden outburst of generosity is all about.

Everything and...

Nothing. See, I knew that.

I knew that. Thanks, Guy, for clearing that up for us.

Excuse me, can you two bag your heads and let Guy finish?

You mean there's more?

Yep. I meant that everything in the sense of the first two months here have

a real buzz and nothing in that you've all been great and I hope none of you

ever change.

Thank you.

That's really sweet of you guys. Yeah.

Cool, so let's have a time.

Not really sure what we're toasting, but let's do it anyway.

How about Solar Blue? That's why we're here, isn't it? Right, to Solar Blue.

Oh, wait.

Sorry.

Do you mind stopping your photo?

To Solar Blue!

Funny how things happen.

This very moment, when I thought things couldn't get any better, was also the

moment when my life would go into a tailspin.

Through no fault of my own, I was finally going to start worrying.

Big time.

But the storm clouds still needed time together.

And anyway, I had much more important things on my mind than fussing over

something that hadn't even happened yet.

You ought to watch yourself, you know. People who read books while they walk

fall flat on their faces.

Do you have statistical proof to back that up?

As a matter of fact, I do.

Globally, over 300 people who read while they walk either got hit by cars or

fell in rivers and drowned.

Fool.

Oh, don't say I didn't warn you. No, thank you for being concerned for my

welfare. Yeah.

Actually, it was about books that I wanted to see you.

Oh? Well, math books, to be precise.

What about them?

Well, I thought, you know how you're so good at maths and I'm so...

Mathematically challenged.

Yeah, maybe I could lend you a bit of personalised coaching.

What would I get in return?

Oh, how about the pleasure of my fantastic company?

And? Well, that isn't enough. And? Oh, OK, OK.

It's the weekend, so I thought tomorrow night we get an all -expenses -paid

pizza of your choice, followed by a movie. And then on Sunday we hit the

So you mean I get the payoff before I do the job?

How do you know I'm not going to run away to South America on Sunday?

Oh, that's a good question.

I suppose we'll have to make a pact.

Promise?

Promise. Oh, wow, a bonus, thanks.

Oh, well.

That's more apple.

Mm -hm.

Aren't you coming out? There's a great swell out there.

Can't.

I don't believe it.

You are putting ironing above surfing?

Yeah, well, I have to, otherwise Beck will make my life misery. Besides, I've

got to make myself look presentable for tomorrow night, don't I?

Oh, you're not wearing that, are you? No. As much as I'm deeply attached to

I do have a sense of occasion.

Aunty Janet's got me this for Christmas. It'll iron up good as new.

Oh, Guy, that is absolutely appalling.

Oh, yeah, I suppose now that you mention it, it is a bit off.

Well, no offence to Auntie Janice, but off is putting it mildly. That is plain

antisocial. Well, I don't have anything else to wear.

Oh, well, then it's time you did.

Tomorrow morning after training, we'll go together.

Where? Shopping.

I'll be your personal stylist.

Cool. I'm game if you are. Done.

Done?

I just discovered the fountain of youth.

I took a dive in the water, felt the years roll back in no particular

order. Now the lady's gone crazy and the man's saying it's true.

Down with the jury, down with the crew, down with the

theater.

I'm just going to duck across to the cast while you pay.

Okay, sure.

Excuse me?

Yeah? Hi.

You wouldn't happen to know where the shop assistant hides that, would you?

I'm not a guide dog, right?

If you'd be right.

Thanks for your help.

Yes, thank you.

Ooh, some days you're lucky and some days you're very lucky.

How do you do it, guy?

Want to get a drink?

Cool. Hold up a minute, please.

What's the matter? Could you return to the shop, please, sir?

What for?

Just return to the shop, sir.

It's just your friend we need to see. Stay outside the premises, please.

Can you open it, please?

What, you think I've knocked something off?

Open the bag, please, sir.

In my whole life, nobody's ever called me sir.

Now, this guy's done it three times.

But the way he said it, it wasn't like important, sir.

More like scumbag, sir, or loser, sir.

Look, I've got no idea how that got in there, honest.

Well, you can tell all that to the police, son.

The police?

The police?

Okay, Bridget, slow down. I can't understand you.

Okay, well... Where is he now?

Uh -huh.

Okay.

Look, stay where you are or I'll get Gary. We'll be down in ten minutes.

Hey, guys. Have you heard what's happened? About what? Guy's been

shoplifting. What?

You're kidding.

He's at the police station. Gary and Bec have just gone down there. I can't

believe it. What did he take? I don't know. Some stuff from a surf shop or

something. Why would Guy do something so dumb?

Are they sure he actually did it? I guess so. Otherwise, why would he be at

police station? No, it's so not like Guy, though. I mean, he's not even

with money or anything. Maybe it was spontaneous.

He saw something he liked and he couldn't resist it. No, Adam's right.

have his faults, but he's no thief.

Then why would the police still have him? They wouldn't charge him unless

were pretty sure.

I just can't believe it. I don't want to believe it. Well, if it is true, then

what'll happen to him?

Fine, I guess.

Well, it'll be worse than that.

How?

He's broken his contract.

Guy will have to leave Solar Blue.

Oh, thank goodness you're here.

How long have you been here?

out. I've just been waiting. They won't tell me anything. They won't even let me

in.

We're not just talking minor shoplifting here. These goods are worth well over

400 bucks.

But I didn't take them. Well according to the witness you did.

There was a witness?

Yeah the shop got a call from someone who saw Guy put the goods in the bag.

And you've confirmed that with them?

It was an anonymous call.

Well, people do that from time to time. They witness a crime and report it, but

they don't want to get involved, so they don't reveal who they are. Because

they're lying. That's why.

Is this enough to count as evidence?

Well, in this case, the evidence is the simple fact that the goods were found in

the bag and Guy left the store carrying it. Now, it doesn't get much clearer

than that. I didn't put them in there. I don't even know how they got in there.

So you keep telling me.

OK, Sergeant, so what happens now?

Well... Because of the seriousness of the offence, it'll have to go before a

magistrate, probably next Tuesday.

Now, I'm prepared to let him go home with you, provided you can guarantee his

whereabouts and ensure he turns up in court.

Can you do that for me?

Yes, we will.

Good.

If you want to come with me, Beck, I've got some paperwork to do and then you

can all go home.

Sergeant, can I ask you something?

Yeah, sure. What is it?

This so -called witness that rang.

Was it a girl, like someone around my age?

It was a female, but we have no idea how old she was.

What happened? Are you okay?

For someone who's about to have a criminal record against his name, yeah,

terrific. The magistrate will be lenient, mate. It's only a first

it's not an offence.

It can't be, because I haven't done anything.

Let's just hold the talk till we get home, okay?

Well, hang on, you do believe me, don't you?

I mean, you do think I'm telling the truth.

We want to believe you, Guy, but the truth is we don't know.

Well, that's great, that is.

Is that what you think?

I want to believe you as well, but... But?

But it's just so weird. You know, if you didn't put the stuff in the bag, then

who did?

And why?

And what about the witness in the phone call?

Yeah, well, I suppose when you put it like that, it does look pretty bad.

Come on, let's get out of here.

When the chips are down, I guess the first thing you wonder about is how your

friends are going to react.

In my case, I didn't have long to wait.

Mate, come have a game. It's 3 -0 round Robin with Adam and I. Oh, thanks. I'm

just getting a drink.

Well, how about some darts then? About time we gave Charlie a thrashing, hey?

Maybe later, guys.

Hey, Guy, you want to come to the beach?

Yeah, we found some more boogie boards stacked under the house. It'll be fun.

Thanks, guys. I'll just sit this one out.

Are you sure?

Yeah, you guys go.

Actually, Adam and I will be in for that.

Yeah. I haven't been for a burger before since primary school.

You are on.

Come and join us if you change your mind.

Will do.

Five minutes, I get more invites than I've had in the past two months.

They're just trying to be nice.

Oh, come on, Bridget. I can see it in their eyes.

See what?

The suspicion.

They're all desperately trying to act normal towards me, but they can't quite

it. There's still that doubt about whether or not they're living with a

It's not true.

They're trying to include you to show that they're standing by you.

Yeah, it may be a little bit awkward, but don't confuse that with suspicion.

It's not fair.

Yeah.

You're right. Sorry, I guess I'm just being paranoid.

We will stand by you guys.

All of us.

Look, before we go any further, I've got to ask you a question.

You're probably not going to like it, but...

I've got to ask you anyway.

What?

When I was trying on those T -shirts, you were alone in that part of the shop,

right? Yeah, so?

So you had the chance to take the stuff and put it in my bag when I was in the

change rooms.

You think that I did it?

Well, I don't know what I think, but I do know I need to hear your answer.

No, I didn't do it.

Oh, OK.

Sorry, I... I just had to ask.

I guess that I should be offended that you'd even think such a thing.

But I'm not.

I'm actually kicking myself for suggesting the whole shopping thing in

place.

I'm so sorry.

Yeah, well, nice guys always win in the end, don't they?

And who knows, maybe something will fall out of the sky to save things.

Yeah, this will cheer you up.

What do you think?

Happy days.

How do things change so much so quickly?

I'll print it out for you.

Guy, can I see you for a second?

Sure.

Look, I'm going to have to call your parents.

Yeah, I was hoping we might be able to delay that a bit.

As it happens, there's a message on their machine saying they're interstate

a couple of days.

That's mobile.

The number of which I happen to have mislaid.

You wouldn't have mislaid it too, would you?

Actually, now that you mention it, I think I have, yeah.

Pity.

Still, it gives us a couple of days up our sleeves to hope something comes up.

Right.

But why would you do that?

When this gets out, it won't just be you who's damaged, Guy.

Solar Blue's reputation will be trashed too. And the other kids will be guilty

by association.

I'm sorry, Bec.

Don't be.

You're innocent, remember?

So what can we do?

Well, Gary's gone back to the shop to talk to the owner and the assistant. See

if they can remember anything that might help.

Do you think that'll do any good?

Who knows?

But we've got to try.

We can't just do nothing.

Yesterday, I never worried about anything.

Today, I worry about everything.

How is it that one simple thing can turn your whole life upside down? How can...

I

don't believe it.

Bridget! Bridget!

Where's your laptop?

In the lounge, why?

You've got to set it up for me on that photo.

Now? Can't you do it after dinner? This lettuce will go limp. No, now.

I think I've found the thief.

You can zoom in on these things, can't you? Yeah, what do you want to see?

Them. Bring them up closer.

A bit more.

A bit more.

There, that's her. She was in the shop.

What are you saying, that she put all that stuff in your bag?

Absolutely. How do you know she did it, though? She hates me. What?

Look at that. See the aggro there?

I'm sorry, Guy, but aren't you sort of jumping to conclusions a bit? No, no,

no. She hates me, all right? I asked her where the shop assistant was, and the

way she answered me, it was like she wanted to punch me out.

Why would she hate you?

I don't know. I've never seen her before in my life, but for some reason, she

does. She set me up. I know it.

Look, I know this sounds crazy, guys, but she's the thief.

And if we can find her, I'll prove it.

Where would we start?

Well, I think I've actually seen this guy around.

Yeah, in fact, I have.

Him and his mate surfed the northern end of the beach.

Regularly? Couple of times, maybe.

Okay, well, there's a good chance that we could find them both.

Okay, here's what we do.

Tomorrow we'll split into groups and check out the whole area.

Bridget, Guy, you take blue water. Case, every inch of it. Eyeball, every

surfer.

Adam and Kathy, you go back to the cafe.

There might be regulars, in which case the staff will know them.

Excuse me.

Sorry, have you seen either of these two?

Sorry, you don't know them.

Lauren and I will go back to the shop. Maybe the girl who serves there knows

her. After that, we'll case the cafes and pizza joints in the main drag.

I'm just wondering, have you seen or do you know the two people in this photo at

all? No.

Yes. Excuse me, guys.

Have a great day! Wherever you lot be, not like you guys to miss Sunday lunch.

I think it's what's known as the wild goose chase.

Thanks for trying, everyone.

I'm sorry, man.

It's not your fault.

It was a good plan.

At least we know she's not a local.

Sorry to sound dumb, but what wild goose were you actually chasing?

This one.

The girl, not the guy, although we would have settled for either.

Guy saw her in the shop. He thinks she set him up. I know she set me up.

You know what?

You might very well be right.

What? You know her. Guy, I think something just fell out of the sky.

Melissa Davies. She lived two hours north of here.

Tried out for Solar Blue. Didn't make it.

That's amazing. That's her.

How on earth do you remember, Beck? There were hundreds of applicants.

Yeah, and you weren't even here for the contest.

No, but I was here two days ago when this arrived.

It's a letter from a local lawyer.

Her parents are suing Solar Blue for wrongful disqualification, damaged her

reputation, trauma, you name it.

So she was disqualified?

Judges claim she cheated.

Pulled on another competitor's leg rope.

Intimidated a younger girl. Cut in on someone else.

She was very upset.

Her father was furious.

So they're suing.

Not that they've got a leg to stand on.

So she doesn't hate you. She hates Solar Blue. She would have come back to see

the lawyer and then bowled up to the cafe.

Should have seen all of us celebrating and it would have been like a red rag to

a bull.

Yeah, then she recognised you in the store.

That explains why she was so dark to me in the shop.

Yeah. But I still don't get why she targeted me.

Revenge. Pure and simple.

She used you to get back at us.

All of us.

So what happens now?

Well, I think another visit to the police station is in order. I'll go

thing tomorrow.

And you should stay home tomorrow, Guy. The police will probably need to speak

to you again.

Oh, how lucky is that?

A day off school.

You get all the breaks, man.

Give someone a school -free day and they just sit around wasting it.

How did it go?

You know that call to the shop from the anonymous witness?

Yeah. The police traced the call.

Came from Melissa's mobile.

You're kidding.

That's not too smart.

No, but she hasn't been too smart generally.

The police up the coast have confronted her with everything and she's owned up

to all of it.

She's in a lot of trouble.

So I'm off the hook.

Well and truly.

You'll have to go back down to the station to confirm the details of

that's happened, but Gary will go with you.

Well, thanks, Beck.

Don't mention it.

Oh, before I forget, I found your father's mobile number.

We should probably give them a call and tell them what's happened.

Yeah, I'll call them. It's probably best if they hear it from me first.

That's what I thought.

Of all the questions I asked myself during this time, one in particular kept

bugging me.

How could you hate something so much that you'd risk everything just to get

revenge?

Whatever it is, I hope I never get to feel it.

All done and dusted.

Sure hope so.

Well, I guess it's back to our normal old boring life then.

Hey, don't knock it. Normal boring old life is a lot going for it.

You did great, Guy.

We're all wrapped you came through.

Especially me.

Thanks.

Oh, so does that mean we get to start my private math lesson tonight?

After all this, you still want a math lesson. Oh, not especially, but if I get

my lesson, that means I get to take you to the movies.

Oh, this is true.

And besides, I've got this really cool new shirt to wear, chosen by my personal

stylist. Oh, since you put it like that, I can't really refuse, can I? No, you

can't.

Shall we? We shall.

Okay, so I have to admit it. For someone who never worries, the last two days

were seriously worrying.

But like I say, everything has its upside.

In the first place, Bridget and I are really starting to hit it off. And

I can at last get rid of Aunt Janice's T -shirt.

There's too much choice and not enough time.

It's too far.

There was more.
