"Hi, Gilligan!"
"Hi, Mary Ann!"
The two youngest had greeted each other that morning. Just like any other day, Mary Ann was preparing breakfast.
"Hey, Gilligan, can you get me some of the bananas from the supply hut?"
"Sure, Mary Ann."
Gilligan stopped, surprised, as he was walking into the hut. Instinctively, he called for the one man he knew he could count on to help. "Skipper!"
The supply hut was a mess. Crates were thrown everywhere; their contents scattered across the ground. Gilligan had no idea who could have done this. It looked like a tornado had gone through the place.
"What is it, Gilligan?" The Skipper asked, approaching the hut. But Gilligan barely had enough time to answer when the Skipper walked through the door and saw the mess for himself.
Stunned, the Skipper asked, "Little Buddy, what did you do?"
"Nothing, Skipper, honest!" Gilligan answered defensively.
"If you didn't do it, who else did?"
"I don't know. It could have been someone else."
By then, the Skipper was getting annoyed. He just wanted the mess to get picked up. "Look, Gilligan, let's just figure this all out during lunch. Now go to your chores!"
"Yes, sir!"
About halfway through lunch, Mary Ann asked Gilligan a question.
"Gilligan, why didn't you bring me the bananas I asked for this morning?"
Cautiously, Gilligan answered, "Well, I kinda couldn't. I think the Skipper should tell you."
Truthfully, Gilligan didn't know how to bring up the mess in the supply hut. He was afraid of being accused of doing it.
Glaring at Gilligan, the Skipper began to explain. Five of the castaways were watching him carefully, already confused. "It's not a big deal. Me and Gilligan just saw the supply hut was a mess. We just want to know who did it."
For what seemed like an eternity, the castaways waited for someone to speak up and confess. But no one did.
Finally, the Professor stood up. "Look, obviously no one is going to confess." Looking at the group in front of him, the Professor asked again, "Did any of us do it?"
The castaways all shook their heads at the same time.
The Skipper got more and more alarmed. If it wasn't any of us, he thought, who was it? Could it be an animal? Could someone be on the island with them?
Hesitantly, the Skipper asked, "Professor, are you saying what I think you're saying?"
The Professor nodded. "There might be someone else on the island. I suggest we see if anything is missing immediately."
"This is your Hawaiian radio station with your 2:00 news. Today's biggest story: A serial killer named William Jacobs recently escaped on a boat. Warning: this man is armed and dangerous. Anyone matching Mr. Jacobs' description should be reported to the police as soon as possible. Mr. Jacobs is a Caucasian male with dark brown hair. He has a tattoo of an eye on his right shoulder. Again: this man is armed and dangerous. In other news, a new anti- bullying program is being introduced to schools all over..."
Gilligan turned the radio off. He didn't think there was anything good on to listen to.
