Chapter 40: Chapter 40

They reach the resort at nearly 3. It was a five storied resort with swimming pools and a large garden area.

Alan: Wow I wish we were here yesterday.

Brad: come on bud. We will be here till tomorrow. So, what’s with the regret?

Hank: Ya riding a panther. Seeing a lion killing a deer and a tiger jumping 20 feet still makes you regret?

Brad: Ya I loved the tiger. It jumped for nearly 20 feet. Looked like Superman.

Alan: Well I loved the lion. You saw how he killed that deer.

Jane: Well the tiger was good. (Hank stares at her)…………………….What? well I meant the real animal. I loved the stripes.

Dorothy: Ya but I still loved the panther.

Burko: Don’t worry she will be here.

Jane: Wow this must accommodate atleast 200.

Burko: Yes you told the actual number. We have already 4000 guests booked here for the year already.

Dorothy: Wow that would make a big profit.

Burko: Yes ofcourse Im a finance manager. It would profit us atleast 40 grands. Well atleast 500 of them have booked for a week. That would profit us atleast a 100,000.

Alan: Quite the money. No wonder Violet’s father is a millionaire.

Brad: Well Helena’s father is much rich I heard.

Alan: Well still worth 232 million is quite.

Burko: Well he will be worth 300 million until 2008.

Alan: Well may be Violet will gift you a car then Brad. You should learn to ride a car.

Brad: Come on I am gonna ride a bike for some years ok. I love bikes not cars.

Hank: Ya he is right. I love bikes too.

Jane: Well I love whichever is faster. Look the waiter is there with some cotton candy.

Burko: Kids you can go to the swimming pool. I’ll tell the caretakers to take your bags to your rooms.

One of the caretakers of the resort informs Burko something.

Burko: Looks like there is a call from one of your friends. She says her name is Amber.

Jane: Yes there are to be here at the evening.

Alan: Didn’t they say tomorroe.

Dorothy: Well Jane knows Amber more than you Alan.

Alan: Well we are close I guess.

Brad: Ok Alan looks like the panther riding has made you ambitious. Amber is just way the league. You know that.

Alan: Well if Helena were here you two wouldn’t have talked like that.

Hank: Ya Brad I know Jane but you with the mean accent?

Jane: Hey. Mr Burko can I talk with them,

Burko: Y a sure you can ask the caretaker. She can help you call your friend.

Hank: Well I will go there. I will make sure you guys are informed Alan.

Alan: What about us?

Dorothy: Lets check our rooms and you guys wear some slacks if you aint got a swimming costume.

Alan: Hey we got speedos ok tight ones.

Brad: Comon male we have male speedos Dorothy.

Dorothy: OK that’s expensive. How did you got a speedo anyway?

Alan: What Tabitha gave me the money and I brought it for Brad and Me. Any problem. It costs 30 each ok. So what’s with the expensive saying?

Dorothy: Ok I didn’t know. Well girls usually have expensive costumes. Mine one costed 98.

Brad: Well it must be a full one Dorothy.

Dorothy: Well I can’t let you peek.

Alan(whispering): Says a girl who is flat.( Brad laughs).

They return after seeing their rooms to the swimming pools.

Alan (showing his abs): Look six packs.

Brad: Well push-ups and pull-ups don’t give you abs Alan.

Alan: Don’t worry this year we will hit the gym.

Brad: Hey I wanna grow 6 before I hit gym. Even if I don’t go six atleast a 5’11’

Alan: Ya me too.Maybe in 2009.

Brad: Ya that would be better.

Dorothy: Guys look at me. My boyfriend would love to see me in these.

Alan: Hey it’s 5 feet.

Brad: What. It’s the lowest one. This pool goes to 8 Alan. Look.

Alan: Ok Water is something I don’t want to drink ok.

Brad: Ok a panther rider is scared of water.

Alan: Hey even Kanchi is afraid of water.

Brad: Nope she is not. Violet told me she used to bathe the panther daily.

Dorothy: Ya what’s with the hydrophoebia.

Alan: Hydro…….what? You are a geek aren’t you?

Brad: Well you do have a fear of water.

Alan: I do not.

Alan tries to go towards the 6 feet level but returns back.

Brad: Wow and I thought Alan Timor is a boy no one can make fun of.

Alan: Well we are all humans.

Dorothy: Well I hope you don’t fear bathroom water.

Brad: Ya no wonder you stink.

Alan: I do-not. I wear Dad’s perfume always.

Dorothy: See I told you.

Hank and Jane return as they see them on the pool.

Jane: Hey guys Eva said they will be at the shore of the East Lake. We will have to ask the driver to receive them.

Burko: Don’t worry kids. I will tell the driver. But you better have some fruit juices. It is hot at the lake.

Dorothy: How long will it take from here?

Burko: Maybe some 40 minutes from here. But maybe you should finish up your pool practice though, Alan you are not using your feet well.

Brad: You know how to swim Mr Stevens?

Burko: Well I don’t drown like you. But your friend Alan is looking very careless in his swimming skills.

Alan: Ok can we not the language?

Dorothy: Ya what’s with the feet lazyness?

Brad: You need to swim like a fish Alan.

Alan: Ya and you are Phelps now?

Brad: Well i am a medalist at school. Dorothy and I went to the Under 13 championship 2 years ago.

Alan: Wow we weren’t best buds then.

Dorothy: See we were best buds even before you Alan.

Brad: Well I knew Alan when we joined the same year at the School in 1998. You joined in 2000 as I know Dors.

Dorothy: Well that is quite true. My mom new Alan;s dad before I joined here.

Alan: See she is becoming a chameleon.

Burko: Ok kids. We will get your friends but you should also come as you can see the pumas that you didn’t see.

Alan: Ya Mr. Burko. I am going with you. Let these kids stay at the pool.

Brad: Ya says who, who runs from a 6 feet dive.

In 10 minutes they are at the jeep as they travel towards the East lake.

In 20 minutes they see the pumas in the high mountains.

Alan: Wow the mountain lions. They look dangerous.

Burko: Well they can kill a human with one strike. There are fences also in case.

Dorothy: Wow they are smaller than the tiger but not than kanchi.

Burko: Well the bigger one is a male.While the other is a female.

Alan: Ya that is right. That one is bigger.

Burko: Well that is why we came here to receive your friends. The pumas do attack unknown people.

Jane: Thank you Mr Stevens. They will be here at 2 in a canoe.

Alan: Wow how does Amber pull that off.

Brad: Come on Eva’s dad is also a Millionaire.

Jane: Wow I would love to say this to Violet.

Brad: well I ‘ll throw to the pumas if you even think.

Hank: Would you two stop. I pity Mrs Penn.

Alan: You wanna ask me. I spend almost 4 days a week in Brad’s home.
