<<<< THE ARK

BRIGHTON POINT, TRINIDAD & TOBAGO, THE CARIBBEAN

Sam arrived at the point amid a haze of dust. He slowly cruised up and down the outcrop, wishing he’d brought a map, or his GPS. A tidy looking pink cottage came into sight on his right with an ornamental black iron sign under a rendered brick arch proclaiming: ‘The Hatchings.’ He was relieved. He’d more or less stumbled on the cottage by accident. He liked the look of the gardens and general proportions of the building. It reminded him of the cottage “Light of Mourn” in the John Wayne classic: The Quiet Man. Although, that was set in Southern Ireland.

Sam wondered through the arched gateway down a stone path to the front door, which was partly ajar. He knocked twice.

“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.

Gathering himself as convincingly as he could he queried; “Miss Boyle?”

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.

“Well, what more have you got on this runner?”

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.”

“Sorry to ask, but can I see the camera?” 

“Sure, you wanna check it out. I don’t blame you. I can hardly believe it myself, and I was there.”

“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.”

It turned out that Marjorie had known of Sam Hollis from his enthusiastic editorial support for the local athletics club. For that reason Sam got Marjorie’s permission to use a still from her camera in the Bugle. They ran that story the following weekend, when controversy reigned supreme. Marjorie Boyle went on the record to say that she’d simply captured live what she’d seen in Panama. Sam gave her full credit for the photograph and the paper put out a reward for the name and address of the mystery athlete. The islands around the Caribbean Sea had produced many great runners, which geography was thought to be a factor by many.

Countless Bugle readers thought the runner was an alien. Others thought the footage had been speeded up. Whereas the fastest man on earth officially was only capable of 20mph and that was a 100 metre dash. Experts had examined Marjorie Boyle’s Youtube footage and calculated that the runner was indeed doing 30 mph at times, equal to roughly 15 metres a second. They recalled the stunning performance of Jesse Owen at the Berlin Olympic Games just before the Second World War, much to the annoyance of Adolf Hitler, and Owen’s record had stood for a further 20 years. It was not lost on broadcasters that performance enhancing drugs may have played a part in this stunt. In the eighties the Olympic runner Ben Johnson had been disqualified when he tested positive for a banned substance, when his 9.78 second 100 metre record was struck from the record books.

Nearly all of the networks in every country reported this news item tongue in cheek, as some kind of publicity stunt or hoax. Sky News, told viewers: 

"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.
