organization into oblivion, and for the remainder of that day they talked about the<br />

forthcoming event. The baby was due in May of the following year, and in the full<br />

light of the following day Will was beginning to realize the full implication it was<br />

going to have on their future.<br />

His mind was oscillating between the memorable times ahead and the stark<br />

reality that his involvement with Ed and the organization could affect the very<br />

stability of the family they were trying to build. He would keep the fact that<br />

Dorothy was pregnant from Ed, or anything for that matter regarding the family,<br />

even though there was an element of trust.<br />

It was the unknown members of the organization he was fearful of, and it was<br />

going to be paramount that he learn more about the others, which was something<br />

he had always avoided in the past. Tony was Ed's achilles heel, and Will would no<br />

was three foot high he ran up to the centre of the block to get a better idea of the<br />

view. Within seconds he let out a scream and left the plot like an Olympic runner.<br />

A short time later, a six foot brown snake slithered across the road towards<br />

the creek, on the other side. At that time of day it was not uncommon to see them<br />

heading down for water. Ivan and his wife, eventually chose a plot of land in the<br />

same street as Dorothy and Will, and they were to live in a caravan until the home<br />

they were building became habitable.<br />

Back at the factory on Monday morning, the trials and skirmishes of<br />

production now seemed petty and insignificant in comparison to the forthcoming<br />

event, and Will's outlook changed for the better, allowing him to brush aside the<br />
