80 20’N, 780 W – TRINIDAD, CARIBBEAN SEA
Trinidad is a small colonial island, just one hundred and twenty kilometres wide and 3,080 square kilometres in area, lying off the north west coast of Venezuela, South America. The population is roughly 1.5 million today from 850,000 in the sixties which is proportionally analogous to the United Kingdom at 1/70th ratio, where many of
Trinidad’s customs and its sister island, Tobago, stem from. Their courts operate in such similar fashion that cases are reported in The London Times newspapers’ weekly law reports, soon after to become authorities around the world. The irony is the knowledge import-export role reversal.
“Thanks Joe. I’ll do that.”
Sam had his feet up on the desk, at the time of the call lazily gazing out of an open window, appreciating the fresh onshore sea breeze, as it wafted heavenly scents of the season to tease his senses. He tilted his straw sun hat back. He was wearing a tan short sleeved sport shirt and light coloured trousers, perfectly suited to the
increasingly hot climate. Sam knew that the report must be a hoax, but what a scoop if it turned out to be even partially true.
“Miss Boyle, Miss Boyle.”
The front door opened wider. The reporter knocked again harder looking back up the path. “Anyone home?”
As he turned back toward the door he met the gaze of a beautiful tanned blonde standing in the doorway. She was about 5’ 10” and of athletic build. She was wearing a tight white lace shirt, unsupported, and off-white denim shorts, which complemented her figure perfectly. For a moment he was speechless. He’d expected something different. Backpackers were usually crusty intellectual,
creatures.
Marjorie Boyle stood in the doorway smiling. She knew she had this effect on men. Pity they all turned out to be simpletons after a good time – at least the ones she’d come across to now.
“What kept you? Fancy a cold one?”
“I’m Sam Hollis.”
“Yes.” She said, “I know who you are Mr Hollis.”
“Call me Sam Miss Boyle.”
“Call me Maj, Sam.”
Sam enjoyed the repartee as much as Marjorie. “Where’s your accent from?” said Sam.
Marjorie spoke in British tones with a hint of colonial Africa.
“Fools everyone. I’m from New Zealand. I just travel a lot.”
She led Sam into her kitchen and opened the refrigerator, looking over a few cans on the middle shelf. She’d forgotten it was shopping time. Sam spotted the problem, between admiring the curves of her denim shorts.
“Oh, anything you’ve got.”
“That’s lucky.” She handed him a Solar Tonic™ – a new health drink sensation from the mainland, but Sam wouldn’t know about that.
“Hey, I’ve been meaning to try one of these.”
Marjorie looked on mystified as she handed across a can. Sam cracked the lid on his can at the same time as Marjorie. They both tilted the heads back and took a big gulp. Ahhhh, and went to belch instinctively, but stopped themselves and looked at each other awkwardly; then both laughed.
“Strewth,” said Sam, affecting an Australian accent, “that’s bloody nice.”
He looked at the picture on the can interestedly, then at the stunning features of his host.
Marjorie beckoned Sam to follow her to her study where she had a 32” LCD screen running a sweeping planet saver program. He followed, mesmerized by her shorts. She bent over her desk and moved a mouse to reveal several files in a folder called ‘Panama Holiday,’ then opened the middle one.
“This is the one you’ll be interested in.” Marjorie played it full screen.
Sam, who was now standing beside her, dragged his eyes away from her lace top. The runner was a well tanned Caucasian wearing a tight silver track suit. He looked to be about five feet ten inches tall and superbly toned.
“Christ,” blurted Sam, almost spraying the screen with Tonic. “That’s really moving.”
The clarity was several times that on the web, it made a heap of difference to the perception of speed. Sam turned to Marjorie mouth agape. Marjorie gave a knowing smile back.
“I know,” she said “it’s unbelievable, that’s why I had to film it.”
“Was anyone with you?”
“No. I’d wandered off that morning, to powder my nose. I went to Panama with a friend. You’ll see her on the camera before and after the runner." Marjorie handed Sam her phone. "Check the time of creation of the files.”
Sam was already on to that. “Hey, nice phone.”
He scrolled through the saved images, admiring the metallic pearl finish on the mobile and oyster shell undulating pattern. The dates checked out and Marjorie was indeed with a very attractive looking brunette. He looked up at her.
“Can you meet my friend?” she said. “Yes of course you can.”
“Thanks Maj, perhaps I should take up hiking.”
He played the clip a couple more times, noting the change in pace of the athlete as he breezed up to 30 miles and hour to jump over a mound. He seemed to take it all in his stride.
“Wish this guy was in our running club. He’d wipe the floor with Usain Bolt’s record.”
Usain Bolt was a six foot tall
Jamaican who set a new world record of 9.58 seconds over 100 metres at the 2009 Berlin Olympic Games.”
"Well folks, it looks like someone’s gone and built the perfect man!"
The BBC's Jill Bird, commented: "For my money, that's got to be the world's fastest man."
Little did they know how close to the truth they were?
Marjorie was inundated with enquiries for her film clip and eventually sold the exclusive rights to a documentary film company for an undisclosed sum, after which other media companies left her alone, but not Sam.
