Chapter 7

The trouble with being the number one best of what you do is that it comes at a price. And that price is you that you have to try and somehow top your last effort. To somehow go bigger to hold people's attention, Gaden newspaper was already the most talked about newspaper in Australia, with its oh so riveting attention grabbing news stories, and the fact that its two reporters looked like two muscular strippers It was probably down to theses reasons which helped the paper to shoot off the shelves.

Today however was one of those days that Aden and Geoff felt at a loss of what to do. So much so that Aden was completing a rather underhanded tactic. What tactic would that be? Well some would call it cheating while others might say it's using your initiative.

Geoff, "I'm not sure I like this Aden, the guilt will just eat you up I swear it will."

Aden sighs as he moves the phone away from his ear to fix Geoff with an annoyed looking glare.

Geoff, "Hey I'm just saying."

Aden, "Oh yes I'm going to have real trouble sleeping tonight that's for sure."

Geoff, "You better put that phone down now before its too late."

Aden, "Hmm yes I better do."

Geoff, "Oh good I am relived to hear you say that."

Aden smiles as he hears the call connect at the other end of the line.

Aden, "Oh dam too late now bible boy, oh well there's nothing I can do now I better see this one through."

Geoff, "Aden I forbid you to speak don't say a thing just put the phone down."

Aden smirks at him before he turns to face away from Geoff who is still busy yelling his protests. Aden meanwhile hears the sound of someone panicking and the rustle of some papers at the other end of the phone.

Aden, "Er hello is anyone there hellooooooooooooo?"

Belle Taylor sits looking down to her coffee stained sheets of paperwork. She had worked herself up into such a panicked state worrying that the phone would start ringing with a breaking story, that she had leaped a mile off her chair when it had rung, that it had resulted in her spilling her coffee everywhere. She quickly dried off the phone grabbing the first thing to hand which just so happened to be some spare tampons from her handbag from under her desk.

Belle, "Oh my I'm very impressed these tampons are so absorbent look at that coffee just disappear."

Aden, "Er hello what was that I didn't quite hear what you said?"

Belle blushes as she hears a male voice on the other end of the phone.

Belle, "Er hello Belle Taylor speaking thank you for phoning the Bulletin Newspaper how can I help you?"

Aden, "Hi I'm phoning from head office."

Aden smirks over to Geoff to catch him shaking his head and looking worried.

Belle, "Head office really oh wow I….."

Aden Yep that's right head office, so how's things going any juicy news stories breaking?"

Belle, "Er yes I think so sir."

Belle gazes across the office to see her colleague Jai jumping wildly up and down shaking his arms about high above his head.

Aden, "Oh yes and what is this news story?"

Belle, "Well…."

Aden, "Just a moment Belle is it?"

Belle, "Yes"

Aden, "What a beautiful name."

Belle, "Why thank you I…"

Belle finds herself blushing at this sudden piece of flattery and continues to chatted away, unaware that Aden wasn't listening.

Aden, "Come on bible boy find me a pen."

Geoff, "This is wrong Aden we shouldn't be stealing stories from other newspapers."

Aden, "I'm not stealing."

Geoff, "Oh yeah then what are you doing?"

Aden, "I'm using the power of my wit and charm, if she wants to tells me about any news stories well I can't help that now can I?"

Aden puts the phone back to his ear to hear the sound of Belle's voice still chatting away.

Belle, "And then you never guess what? I spilled my coffee everywhere, I have no idea why I was so nervous I mean you're easy to talk to aren't you? Abit quiet but there's nothing wrong with that."

Aden feeling rather confused coughs slightly to stop Belle from talking.

Aden, "Well I have my pen now so please go ahead and tell me in great detail of your latest breaking news story. I er need to make a record of it for head office you see."

Belle, "Er ok well lets see."

It was at this point that Jai manages launch himself across at Belle's desk.

Jai, "NOOOOOOOOOOOOO THAT I'SNT HEAD OFFICE THAT'S GADEN NEWS, THEIR AFTER OUR NEWS STORIES AGAIN, PUT THE PHONE DOWN RIGHT NOW.

Belle, "It's who?"

Jai, "Gaden News I put up a kind of a firewall over our phone system to block their calls they are always trying to steal our news, their our rivals."

Belle looks to the phone she is grasping with a hint of anger.

Belle, "Is this true?"

Aden, "No of course not."

Belle, "Well I should hope not because I don't like the thought of someone taking advantage of me, and I pity the person who in this case is you to even dare try too."

Geoff looks to Aden to see a hint of a reddish blush start surface upon his cheeks.

Aden, "I….well….I….."

Belle, "Oh lost for words are we now Mr?"

Geoff, "What's going on with you Aden? I have never seen you so tongue tied before."

Belle grabs a black marker pen and begins to write on her hand having just overheard Geoff.

Belle, "Well Aden is it I have just taken you name down so I don't forget you, you have your cards marked now."

As he sat there totally and utter speechless Aden starts to feel a sudden rush of excitement. Here was a woman not giving him a chance what so ever of trying to talk himself out of trouble in which he at this moment found himself in. Unlike all the rest of the women who just happened to cross paths with him who would most likely melt while in his presence and just expect what ever he told them. But for some reason Belle was different for some reason Aden felt very ashamed and well and truly told off.

Belle, "Well nice talking with you Aden but I now have some breaking news to work on."

Jai Yeah so there, oh Belle this story is good from what I heard Celebrity Chef Alfred Ramsay is on his way to the Pier Diner with the attention of finding himself a apprentice."

Aden having over heard all of what Jai has just said smirks.

Aden, "Oh bible boy I think we may of just hit the jackpot."

Belle rolls her eyes as she hears the click of Aden disconnecting the call.

Belle, "Jai I hope you're a fast driver we need to get to the diner right away. I think our friend Aden might of just overheard you. You didn't give me enough time to hang up."

Jai, "Oh dam sorry and as for me being a fast driver no. I still have my learner permits and anyhow I'm a computer whiz I'm no reporter I…."

Belle dashes round her desk grabbing at Jai's hand quickly and starts to pull him across to the lift which would take them down to the parking level, where all the Bulletin News vans were kept.

Aden, "Wow that Belle wasn't half a foxy woman."

Geoff, "You can say that again she put you in your place."

Aden, "No she did not."

Geoff, "She so did."

Aden, "Did not."

Geoff, "Did"

Aden, "Oh shut up Geoffrey and please tell me the Gadencopter is ready to go."

Geoff gives Aden an odd look.

Geoff, "Gadencopter?"

Aden Our helicopter hello, we will beat Belle to the scene if we take the Gadencopter instead of the news van"

Geoff, "Oh yes the Gadencopter yep its out there on the landing pad look."

Geoff points out the window of the news room, where outside in the dazzling sunshine stood a large blue and yellow helicopter with a large picture of Aden's and Geoff's smiling faces plastered on its sides

Aden, "Ah I'm looking well hot in that picture."

Geoff only rolled his eyes as he grabs Aden and pulls him out the office's sliding doors to the Gadencopter, where a pilot would fly them to their desired location.

Aden, "With the help of the Gadencopter. bible boy we will get ourselves a nice hot story."

Geoff smiles as he climbs into the back of the Gadencopter.

Aden, "To the Pier Diner and make it a speedy flight my friend."

The pilot nods his head before easing the Gadencopter into the air.

Upon the delivery of Xavier's pizzas the staff of the diner struggled on to make sure all their customers needs were met.

Irene watched Colleen stagger tiredly back to the kitchen before she even made the attempt to leave the safely of the kitchen herself. Because moving even a faction away from the kitchen door was like you were entering some kind of over crowded danger zone where a pack of savage wolves sat waiting to be feed.

Irene's eyes darted to left and then to the right. Yes the coast seemed clear, picking up a mountain high of plates, Irene starts to venture out into that danger zone. She only hoped that she would somehow make it back to the kitchen in one piece and not be crushed under a mountain of hungry customers.

Irene could see the table she was aiming for right at the back, why did it have to be right at the back? She could very well die out here getting shoved and knocked not to mention the noise level was deafening, Irene would soon need some ear muffs if the popularly of the diner carried on like this.

Only a few feet away now and Irene would of survived yet another outing from the diner's kitchen.

Leah, "Woooo hold up there Irene"

Leah tries her best to steer herself away from the collision with Irene. But with Leah doing some kind of balancing act also she crashes into Irene causing all the plates they were holding to crash down to the floor. This action was met by a chorus of cheers and the clapping of hands from everyone in the diner.

Meanwhile outside Belle and Jai had just pulled up in their news van. While Aden and Geoff hovered above inside the Gadencopter.

With all the mayhem and noise going on nobody noticed a certain grumpy Celebrity chef turn up until the sound of his booming voice silences the diner to its very core.

Chef Ramsey STONE THE FLAMING CROWS WHAT THE FLAMING HELLS GOING ON HERE WITH ALL THIS NOISE? AND THERE'S A HELICOPTER OUTSIDE TOO I CAN'T HEAR MYSELF FLAMING THINK."
