Des went outside and began eating breakfast that Reg had made. After about 15minutes he saw Neil wonder back to his tent with a face of fury.
"How dare he say I'm up to summat! If anyone is its him!" Muttered Des under his breathe chopping harder and harder.
"What you say? I weren't listening." Said Reg
"Oh… Nothing Reggie, talking to my self" Des calmed Down throwing down the knife.
"First sign of madness that"
"Oh yeah, what's second"
"Rocking"
"Don't worry cause I don't do that"
"And as far as I know I've never seen you do third"
"And what would that be"
"Looking for hairs on the palm of your hand." Des surveyed Cameron who was listening in on the conversation. He was viewing the palm of his hand, clearly cause of what Reg had said. This made Des laugh.
"Hey Cameron you betta watch where you do that, people might think your crazy." Laughed Des
"That's cause I am." Giggled Cameron. Cameron started pulling funny faces and running round like a chimp.
"Can't argue with that." Cameron ran around camp but stop as soon as he ran into Adam.
"Err…sorry boss." Stammered Cameron. Cameron run to his tent embarrassed.
"Oh, hiya super, I was hoping to speak to you." Insisted Des
"Were you, what about"
"Well, its Sheelagh. She's not well you see and she isn't fit to go running round today. So is it alright if she stays here"
"Yeah, that's fine. As long as she gets better. I mean she won't be on her own cause Gary's here anyway"
"Thanks super. I'll go and tell her." Des began to walk off happy.
"Des, one last thing"
"Yeah"
"Call me Adam"
"Thanks" Des walked off even happier cause he and Adam had not always seen eye to eye.
He stepped into the tent moving stuff as he went. He sat lay down on his side next to Sheelagh. He looked at her rosy cheeks from the warmth. She'd wrapped herself up in the covers so that only her head was sticking out. Des just wanted to cradle her in his arms. He brushed back a piece of hair that had fallen over her eyes so he could see her face clearly. This made Sheelagh wake.
"Hello." Sheelagh smiled
"Hello, you alright." Des replied
"Yeah bit better, just a bit warm." Sheelagh pulled back the covers to her waist trying to cool down.
"I've spoke to Adam he said you can stay here today"
"Thank you Des"
"It was nothing. Look I gotta go. If you need anything Gary's here today as well just see him"
"OK. See you later. good luck, you better win"
"Don't worry we will." Des got on to his hands and knees and crawled out shutting the door he stopped halfway.
"Oh yeah, suits you that t-shirt"
"I'll have to have it then won't I"
"Suppose you will." Sheelagh blew him a kiss which Des replied before closing the tent and joining everyone else outside.
"Is she alright?" Asked Kerry
"Yeah, she just needs her rest." answered Des
"Guess were gonna win today." Said Neil nastily
"What makes you say that?" Asked Debbie laughing at his surity
"Well Reg's team and Cameron's team are both one member down." Explained Neil
"Aren't you forgetting some one?" Indicated Phil
"What you think that you're a challenge for us. Your nothing mate." Laughed Neil
"Why are you always so confident Neil. Why can't you see that your not the best at everything." Asked Eva annoyed at his certainty
"Because it's simply not true." Said Neil. Neil jumped on the coach with Gabriel.
"You know what's wrong with him." Started Ken
"What?" Asked Sam
"He's to sure of himself." continued Ken
"Couldn't agree with you more." Said Jack
"What possessed you to employ him Adam?" Asked Gina
"I didn't have a choice who I picked. It wasn't my decision." Explained Adam
"That's not right." Argued Gina huffing
"It's cause I was new to the station and someone else had to do it who knew the station better." Explained Adam. They got on the bus one by one.
"Tell me who it was cause I'm gonna go and make them change their mind." Groaned Des
"I wish I knew Des, I wish I knew." Said Adam shutting the door and tuck his seat at the front of the coach.
