‘I see you have a house guest,’ Johnnie said. ‘Yes,’ Sandy said brightly, always enjoying his company. ‘It’s my niece April, my sister Mon...’s girl. She’d been at a community school for her first two years and is here at the university for her last two. She’s living with me, so that I can help out.’ ‘Good for you,’ Johnnie said. ‘I met her at Dugan’s the other night with a bunch of students.’ Sandy laughed, ‘And what was a big fireman like you doing at Dugan’s?’ ‘Lookin’ for women!’ Johnnie said. So be warned, forewarned I have a temper!”I laughed and shook her hand and then motioned for her to sit down as I turned to a couple of bottles I had on the kitchen bar. “I will be certain to remember that Maddie! I am Bryan and I am also thirsty, would you care to have a nightcap before you call your friends?”I made our drinks and sat down in the chair across from where she had sat down on the couch. It is a low couch. It is not a couch designed for women in five inch heels. Her knees. The other two had their rifles along, but they hoped not to have to use them. Maria carefully lined up her shot and squeezed the trigger. The noise of the shot was lost in the general clamor of the battlefield and the smoke was blown away quickly by the stiff breeze. There was an agonizing wait for the bullet to travel from Maria's rifle to the most prominent of the war chiefs.He was involved in an animated discussion with the other four war chiefs on hand, and they were all caught by surprise. "I'm Johnno Allthwaite," I said, "And this is Al," I added, "I always fancied me self as an athlete, keep it up for ages me!"Al laughed and so I got another round in before we went round the bogs for a smoke.Next morning we persuaded old Ted to have a tea break outside the Uni part way round our bin round and we wandered in to find Lionel."Oh my god!" he whined when he saw us, "You might have tried to look like Athletes," he said.I didn't see his problem, me bright orange coveralls weren't that.
