It had been a practical Joke gone wrong. “Look your brief case is in the ocean”, snickered his friends. The brief case carried important plans for the construction of the Slippery Banana. The blue prints for a new water slide in the shape of a banana. A new attraction at Banana World. Fredrick Fran Roy was the designer and brilliant mastermind behind the new slide at the theme park created by Jamaican Born LeHan Bostorcoffin. All his life he had been ridiculed and laughed at because he could never design a blue print for anything more fancy then a bird feeder. But this design. This Design. This was his ticket to the big time. A million or so kids, sliding down on His Banana. Wow. So when his friends jokingly told him, they threw his brief case into the ocean, on the company cruise to the Cajon Islands, He in a panic, seeing his dream floating out to sea, jumped into the ocean.
His friends cried and cried, knowing that they had pushed Fredrick to his death, by pulling their little joke on Him. Fredrick thought his brief case was floating on the ocean. He was wrong. Fredrik’s Friends and Associates thought he was Eaten by sharks. They were also wrong.
Somehow (beyond the wildest imagination of the author at the moment) he got transported to an uninhabited Island. (Most likely by genetically engineered Humpback Wales) There he had lived for the past 3 1/2 years. All his years of Watching Gilligan’s Island had paid off. He messed up every attempt to get off the island that he could muster. He made about 33 boats that all sunk to a watery grave. He had been attacked by various headhunters and even been chased by aliens, including some illegal Cubans going to the US.
One day a cell phone washed up on the beach. It was in a waterproof brief case. For a moment Fredrick thought it might be his. But it wasn’t. It had some comic books in it, some Granola bars, Marbles, and a Cell Phone. He tried to use it, but couldn’t. He somehow just could not figure out how to turn it on. 3 mouths in sat in his little hut. One day while he was playing marbles with his friend Babble the Monkey, it rang.......
If Leah had played her cards right, the person at the other end of the phone, could really help her out. Every case she had ever worked on, had always been helped by this one individual. Only she had not needed his help for the past several mouths. In fact the last she knew of him, He had gone on a trip to Bermuda or something. A long deserved vacation. The phone rang and rang. She got his message service. She kept calling thinking it might pick up.
She decided to take a break and get a cup of Tomatoes soup and Tony’s Cafe. She went in and started sipping away at her soup. When all of a sudden, she sniffed her nose.
“What is that stink”? She looked at the bottom of her shoe. It was covered in Dog Crap. “Oh Man”. For some reason she always managed to find crap on her shoe. She took off the shoe and went to the toilet. She began to clean off her shoe, when she noticed a message in the poop. She looked curious at first. Then a light flashed in her eyes....
She decided to call him one more time.
Somehow the monkey managed to get the Cell phone on. Fredrick thought, if he can beat me at Marbles 10 out of 10 times, maybe he can work a cell phone. He tried to call someone, anyone, but all he got was someone who spoke Japanese. Seeing he could not speak Japanese, it did him little good to try and ask for help. After 45 minutes of trying, he thought of the perfect person to call and then....
RING RING....
On the other side of the phone, a women asked....
:”Puffy?, it’s me Red Pony. I’m glad I finally reached you.” Funny She thought... All she heard back was a Monkey....and a man’s voice screaming at the monkey....
“Hello, Hi, I’m Free... Free... I’ve been strained on this desert Island for the past few years and....”
Fredrick continued to just ramble as Leah wondered who the heck she had called.
Had she gotten a wrong number? Did Puffy lose his cell? Was it stolen? Why does this crazed man with the monkey have it.???? She continued to listen to his tale of woe. Wondering if he was for real. Also wondering where Puffy was. She needed to share with him what was on her shoe. Where was puffy....
Running through the outback in Australia, a man jumped into a croc infested river, while 30 armed soldiers with laser point rifles trailed him. He nestled down where he could not be seen..... except by the hungry eyes of a croc licking his chops. Was this man about to become a cream Puffy?
Is this Man Puffy?
What is his relation to Leah (Red Pony)
Where she get that name?
What is his cell phone doing on Fredrick’s Island?
Is Fredrick saved?
How does this nobody get involved with Leah’s story?
What was written on her shoe.....
All these will be answered by Julia in
CHAPTER 5
