Chapter 4: Welcome To Australia.
One hour after the plane had landed, Stephen, Marion, John and Claire booking into a hotel. They then made their way to the local police station. Stephen introduced them all to one of the senior officers and explained their mission. He showed the officers a photo of Beech and said that he's very dangerous and if anyone spots him to report the location to them immediately. He left the Australian police a copy of the photograph and a contact number before he and the others, along with one of the Australian officers for a tour guide, set out to explore the city and to find Beech.
They walked around the city, asking questions to shop and bar staff and anyone else who might have seen him. They spoke to lots of people but no one recognised the photo. A few people said they had seen a newcomer to the area, but said he didn't match the picture because he had a beard and longer hair in a pony tail.
"It could be a disguise," suggests Claire.
"Maybe" said Stephen, "He was wearing a disguise when we lost him at the airport, maybe he's still wearing it."
"So now what?" asks John.
"There's not a lot we can do till we can get a location for Beech or at least some kind of trail," explains Stephen.
"It's getting kind of late," noticed Marion, "why don't we all head back to the hotel and get something to eat, we're more likely to find him if we're not hungry and tired."
"Good idea," agreed Stephen, "we'll drop in the supermarket over there to get some food, then head back to the hotel to get some rest, we'll start searching again tomorrow."
With that said they went to the supermarket and started to look around for some food. When they had got the basics like, milk, sugar, teabags, coffee, bread and butter and a few other odds and ends, they made their way to the checkouts to pay for the goods. They packed everything into bags and made their way back to the hotel.
