Fields of Nozzles - Part 13

in the pub Rii was preparing for the evenings customers, "it will be busy tonight" she said to Alf, the tavern owner,
"yes i expect so" he replied, "i was thinking of selling up actually" "really" said Rii, "yes well i'm not getting any younger, and i feel its time to wind down" he said, just then Louise and Joe arrived, "evening Alf" Joe said cheerfully,
"evening joe" he replied, "hi guys" said Rii, "pint please" said Louise, "same for me thanks" added Joe.
"can i have a word please Alf?" asked Ellie,

back home everyone else was busy, Jess was writing more of her song, Tom was mending a hole in his mokasons,
Emily and Carlos where in the barn (wink wink nudge nudge) Jo was brewing some more nozzle leaf tea,
and James was changing the bandage on his arm, "ooh it looks all green and smells of almonds" he said worriedly,
"it'll be fine" said Reena, "hows the head Arthur?" asked Tom sowing away, "not bad thanks, a little painfull" replied Arthur,
"i can't wait for Kathrine to join us tomorrow" said Sophie excitedly, "yes it will be cool when eveyone else gets here" said Debbie,
in the conservatory, Julia p and Emma were talking, "i do hope i see Wendy again" Emma said sadly, "i'm sure we will" said Julia p, "i know she was annoyingly clever but so am i, i suppose" said Emma, just then Viki came in with a armadillo on her shoulder,
"what is that?" asked Julia looking rather bemused, "oh this is coco, i found him in the field" "ar hes soo cute" said Debbie walking in.

back in the tavern, Louise and Joe were a little worried, "they have been an awfully long time in there" said Louise,
"i know i wonder what is happening" replied Joe, just then there was a loud thunk followed by a thud,
just then Ellie came throu the door, pulling a large brown sack, "help me with this nonce will ya" she asked,
"Ellie what have you done?" asked Louise completely shocked, "he didn't want to sell afterall, but i changed his mind"
"well come on then help me bury this geezer" she said crossly, "ok ok" said Joe, "come on Louise lets get it over with"
so out the back in the beer garden, while Ellie cut Alf up with a hacksaw, Louise and Joe dug a large hole,
"phew this is hard work" Louise complained. "come on i used to do this every day when i worked for NASA" said Joe,
so after Alf was well and truly mutilated, and Joe and Louise had finished the hole, in went Alf belongings and all,
"well thats that done" said Ellie, "and no harm done to anybody, well pretty much"

"well i'm off to bed" said Emily coming in from the barn, "where's Carlos then" asked Jess, "he's gone to bed in his shed" replied Emily, "so hows it going then?" asked Alion excitedly, "not bad not bad" replied Emily smugly, "well i'm off to bed too" said Anna,
"night Anna" said James picking again at his arm, so when eveyone had gone to bed, apart from Tom, who was waiting for Louise and Joe, just then Ellie walked in holding a baseball bat, "oh hi Ellie, whats that for" asked Tom, "oh nothing just, practicing my swing" she replied, "anyway i'm off to bed, night" "what a night" said Joe stumbling in, "ready for the night then?" asked Tom,
"not really but i will wake up" answered Joe, "right i'll get the kettle on then" said Louise, walking in.

next day everyone was up talking about the darts competition, Debbie was doing her special warmup routine,
Ellie was practicing downing pints, James was still trying to work out what 3 20s were, and Joe was polishing his dart shafts,
"tonight will be fun" said Debbie flexing her wrists, "yes i hope so" said Ellie falling down the basement stairs, with a loud crash,
just then Viki came running in, "we have trouble guys, we've got giant white killer rabbits in one of the fields!!"
"oh damn those rabbits" said Robyn throthing at the mouth, "calm down" said Alion, "we have to think about this, how do we get rid of them" she wondered.

just a mile or so away from hopmoe, Suz and Emma were getting very excited, "i never thaught we would get out of that one"
said Emma, "yes what with the wolves and all" added Suz, but as they approached, they could see smoke billowing from the village!, "what on earth is that" wondered Emma, "whatever it is it doesn't sound good", replied Suz
as they came out into the common which surrounds the village, they saw the entire village was in ruins!!!
"what on earth has happened here" said Suz in utter horror, then out of the distance, came a figure running up to them,
as she approached they saw it was Jo c, "Jo c what has happened here?"asked Emma, "the wolves did it last night"
replied Jo c, "they came in, torched everything and stole all our valuables" she continued, "it was awfull"
"was anyone hurt" asked Suz, "everyone is dead, except me, Tim, Kathrine Scot, Mark, Ingham, Charlotte and Becca,
"this is terrible" said Emma, "have you any wagons to come back with you?" she asked, "only one" said Charlotte,
running towards them, "right lets be off before they return" said Suz looking solemn.

in the tavern, unaware of the plight of hopmoe, everyone was getting ready for the big championship,
"right here are the teams" announced Reena who was not taking part, "group A, Joe & Debbie, Ellie & Emma,
Tom & Jess, and Robyn & James, group B, Louise & Viki, Emily & Carlos, Jeni & Susie, and Wilko & Alion,
group C, Arthur & Julia, Julia p & Sophie, Jo & Rii, and Sarah & Anna," "now" she continued the two winners of each group go throu, plus 2 from the play offs, then there will be q finals semi's and the final, the winning team gets a trophy and a frozen pre jurrasic nozzle" "well lets go for it" said joe, "let the games begin!!!".........
