A week later
Charlie's Point of View
After a number of leads and questioning Heath Braxton and a number of other river boys, along with searching the Mangrove River home, we had come up with nothing on the marijuana crop. "I'm sure they'll slip up Serge…Heath Braxton is an idiot" Watson reassured me.
Ruby and I had finally settled into this small town and made a number of friends including Leah, Roo, Marilyn and Irene.
"Ah Charlie just the usual for you and Ruby this morning?" Irene asked with a smile as Ruby and I walked in for breakfast one morning on my day off.
"Yes thank you" I smiled back as we sat down. "So how's Casey doing? He back home yet?" I asked Ruby, knowing that her and Casey had gotten somewhat friendly.
"I'm not sure…I haven't really talked to him. He did mention that Brax was looking at a place to rent and that they were pretty sure they would get it…but I haven't really sat down and discussed anything with him. He's pretty busy with school and trying to catch up on study" Ruby shrugged.
"Ok, but just don't get…you know, romantically involved with him Rubes. He's got a pretty messed up background and I really don't want you to be a part of that" I warned her.
"Yes Mum" she chuckled with a salute. If only she knew the truth behind that. I sighed before our food got placed in front of us. Ruby scoffed hers down and headed to school before I finished mine and headed up to the counter to pay.
"Day off is it Sergeant?" I turned to find Brax standing there smirking.
"Yes and I was enjoying it until now" I rolled my eyes and placed a note on the counter. "Keep the change" I told Leah before walking out.
"Ay, wait up…I just wanted to thank you for leaving Mum's house in ruins the other day…she really didn't appreciate it" He nodded at me seriously.
"I was just doing my job, your brother was a suspect…can't help that" I replied.
"Of course you can't. Just face the facts Charlie…you're out to get us, no matter who gets hurt in the process" He walked closer to me and nearly whispered in my ear before walking off. I shook my head as I watched him get into his car and speed off.
Ruby's Point of view
After breakfast with Charlie I headed off to school. First period was English and I knew we were being given an assignment that I was not looking forward. "Ok class, so the assignment I will be handing out today will be a partner presentation and this will be worth 50% of your final mark…" You could see everyone eyeing someone off as their partner as the teacher spoke. "Now I will go through the roll and assign partners. I want to see how well you can work with someone you don't know. Seeing as the assignment is on change and the concept of change I am going to put you outside your comfort zone and make sure everyone experiences a change" April looked at me before rolling her eyes at the thought of being split up from Dex. I just shrugged and continued listening to the teacher. "So once I call you and your partners name I would like you to both come up to my desk and collect the assignment then go find somewhere to sit and remain quiet until I've finished…the I will give the rest of the class to figure out and read through the assignment" The teacher smiled before sitting down and going through the roll. "So could I get Sarah and Justin together thanks, Karlee and Olivia, Ben and James, Dexter and Felicity, Duncan and Georgina, Peter and Jessica, Matthew and Karina, Ashley and Harriet, Sam and Michael, April and Jessica…and Ruby and Casey" I stood up and walked to the front and looked behind me only to find Casey giving me a small smile. We grabbed the assignment and sat down together up the back before discussing it.
"So I was thinking that maybe we could use a poem as a text…maybe…its up to you of course" I suggested.
"No that would be great…I think a lot of people will probably use movies as texts so a poem would definitely be different" He chuckled and agreed.
"Well we could get together this afternoon and find something?" I smiled back.
"Actually I can't this arvo…Brax got us a place to rent so we're moving in as soon as I'm finished here today" He smiled back.
"Oh wow, that's great! I'm so happy for you" I beamed. "In Summer Bay? Where about?" I continued with the questions.
"Um Saxon Avenue…its just a few streets away from the surf club and the diner and everything else"
"Wow, that's my street!"
Brax's Point of View
After getting approval for the rental property in Summer Bay, Casey and I decided to move in straight away. Heath had asked to move in as well. I was a bit reluctant at first but he was my brother…I couldn't just leave him out. After running into Charlie at the diner I headed over to Mangrove River to pick up some more stuff from home. "You don't have to leave do ya?" Mum was now pleading. Now that all 3 of her sons were moving out of home she had no one to help pay the bills and no one to look after her when she came into money problems.
"Mum it was going to happen one day" I sighed, grabbing another box and putting into the back of my ute. "Shouldn't you be at work?" I asked confused.
"Nah I chuckled a sickie today…couldn't bear seeing my boys leave me" She replied. I just rolled my eyes before continuing to fill the ute. I soon drove over to the new house and put some of my stuff in the main bedroom. Of course I was to get the main bedroom, I was the oldest and most mature…and I definitely had plans to have ladies over. After unpacking the ute I look at the outside of the house and over to the next door neighbours house. I decided now would be a better time then ever to introduce myself. Walking over and onto the front deck and heard a woman singing. The see through glass door was open so I knocked and walked in only to find Charlie standing there in a black bra and black panties ironing her work uniform.
"GET OUT!" She screamed, grabbing the clothes and trying to cover herself up. By the time she'd heard me I had already got a good look at that body of hers and I had liked what I saw.
"You might want to close your front door next time you're ironing ay" I chuckled as she walked over and pushed me out.
"I said get out!" She continued yelling as the shirt she was holding to cover herself up fell to the floor.
"I just came over to introduce myself to my new next door neighbour…got more than I bargained for ay. I don't know what I like better, you with the uniform on or just this" I continued laughed as she pushed me onto the front door and slammed the glass door. I couldn't help but laugh to myself as I walked back over to the ute. Living next door to a hot cop. Going to be a challenge, but I think I could handle this.
