Martha was sat in the surf club making drinks "Hi Tony" she smiled as Tony was walking through the door and sat down. "Hi Martha how you going?" "Yeah im good" "Jack told me about your bet" he said laughing "Rrr I bet the whole of the bay knows by now" "Look you cant let jack get under your skin like that!" "I can't help it he's such a tough nut to crack it's like he's got no weaknesses" "You'd be surprise" "Really" said Martha looking eager "Spiders for one he's a complete arachnophobia!" that gave Martha a idea.
She had just finished her long shift at the surf club and went to the Holden's house "Hi" she said as she knocked at the door and Tony opened it "G'day what can I do for you?" "Err its just the electric yeah the electric it needs checking" "But its been fine" 'I know put im sure you want to be safe" "Err well ..." but before Tony could finish his sentence Martha cut him off "Great!". When Tony and Lucas were in the kitchen making dinner Martha snook into jack's room she looked around and saw a t-shirt on his bed sh was holding a fake spider in he hand she placed it under jacks t-shirt. Martha walked out of jacks room and back in the kitchen "There all done its fine" "Thanks Martha" Tony replied "No problem". On her way out she bumped into jack she looked at him and waked off "What was she doing here?" said jack smiling "Who Martha? She was just checking the electric" "Oh right" jack said disappointed thinking that she might of changed her mind of having dinner with him. "Mate me and Lucas are going to go to the surfclub Alf wanted us there to talk about footy and I thought it would be great for Lucas" "Alrighty well im just going to have a shower and I'll finish of dinner" "Ok!" replied Lucas and Tony who were walking out.
Jack got out of the shower with a towel wrapped around him he was looking for his red t-shirt "Ah there it is" as he picked up his t-shirt and saw a spider he jumped backwards and hit his head on the cupboard behind him blood trickling out of his ear.
"Well that was boring" said Lucas jokingly as he walked into the house with Tony "Dad where's my shirt my good shirt? Im going on a date with Matilda Hunter tomorrow" "Well done mate" Tony winked "Its in jacks room go have a look I think it's in his boxes" "Ok will do". Lucas walked into jacks room too see him laying down unconscious "DAD!" Lucas yelled out Tony came running in jack, jack mate can you hear me? Luc go ring a ambulance!" Lucas hesitated for a minute as he was in shock but he quickly grabbed the phone and rang the ambulance. 5 minutes had passed and ambulances had quickly token jack into hospital.
Jack had woken up and he was fine there was no sign of damaging although Flynn had to check jacks ear after the swelling had finished.
"Do you remember what happened?" asked Tony "Umm I came out of the shower then went in my room and woke up in the ambulance" "He probably saw himself in the mirror and fainted in shock" joked Lucas. Tony saw the state of jack and reminded him of Kerry (his wife).
"I didn't think he got much sleep" said Beth telling Alf the story about jack in hospital" "Who didn't get much sleep" asked Martha cheerfully. "Beth had just been telling us about Jacks accident" Martha's smile turned upside down she felt like she had been crushed "What accident?" "He fell and hit his head in his bedroom he has hurt his left ear pretty badly there not sure if he's going to regain his hearing" said Beth explaining.
"G'day Alf, Martha" said Tony cheerfully "we er herd about your fall thought we'd pop in to see how you're doing" "Yeah could be worse" said jack "What about your ear" "Oh its stuffed up but Flynn reckons my hearing will come back eventually don't I get a sympathy kiss" said jack smiling and looking at Martha "You would of thought that fall would of knocked a bit of sense into him" laughed Tony "How did you manage to fall?" "I don't know I really can't remember to tell you the truth I must of slipped are you sure Martha's ok she's missing some easy shots here aww you fell sorry for me" Martha and jack were smiling at each other.
"Hmm there was a spider!" "What's that?" asked Alf "I was getting dressed and I picked up my shirt and there was this big black thing sitting underneath it I jumped and I fell backwards" "You jumped?" said Alf. "Oh jacks got a phobia about spiders he's had that since he was a kid infact you know I was telling Martha about that "Dad don't go telling all my secrets ok?" .
