Skeet headed into reception, leaving Cyril outside under an umbrella with a large bowl of beer. ”What’s up, Ginny? Why was I called?”

“Oh, Skeet, the delivery for Cyril. It’s here.”

“Terrific. They made good time. Where are the handlers?”

“Um, that’s what I paged you for. One of them is ... well one of them is not good,” said Ginny.

“What, sick you mean?”

“Um, not exactly.”

“All right, Ginny love, take a deep breath and tell me nice and slow,” said Skeet

Ginny took a deep breath and almost split her low cut top even lower. “Um, one of the handlers is Bluey.”

“You’re joking?”

Doc had just hurried in with a look of concern on his face. “Skeet, you’ll never guess who is sitting in the Swamp getting pissed?”

“Bluey?”

“Damn, you knew already. Yeah, Bluey. What are we gonna do? Where is Lucy?”

“What we are not gonna do is bother Lucy while she’s havin’ a rest. I’ll see to Bluey. Ginny, where is the other handler?”

“Right behind you. Name's Rebecca.”

Skeet turned around in surprise. A woman? The woman was dainty and very feminine to look at.

She extended her hand. “Rebecca. Pleased to meet ya, Skeet. I heard a lot about you. All good.”

“G’day. Well, uh, thanks. You are a croc handler? I mean you are so tiny and all.”

“Size don’t matter, mate. It’s all in the attitude. Besides, I was trained by the best in the business, God rest him.”

“Steve trained you?” asked Skeet in an awed and reverent tone.

“Sure did, but I have to admit that I’m more used to handling the girls than any of the wild mob.”

“The hand-raised girls?”

“Yep.”

“Yeah, me too. Only, well, Cyril’s a boy and all.”

“Yep, noticed that on me way in. He’s a big boy. What is he, twenty-six … twenty-seven feet?”

“Twenty-eight. Well, an inch or so under, but I haven’t told him that.”

“Of course not. Ya wouldn’t wanna hurt his feelings,” said Rebecca.

Skeet smiled. “Exactly. Can you excuse me a sec, um, Rebecca? I gotta go see Bluey.”

“He’s cruisin’ for a fight, Skeet. Been drinking all bloody day too. Keeps on about Lucy somebody and how he’s gonna fix her. I don’t know what he’s got in mind, but if I was this Lucy sheila, I’d steer clear of him for a day or so. We will be taking whichever of the girls that Cyril doesn’t fancy back down to the Zoo when we leave, but that might be a coupla days, depending on Cyril, of course.”

“Righto. Thanks for the heads up. Bluey hates Lucy 'cause she fired his arse.”

“Righto. Gotcha. He’s gonna get his arse fired from this job too if he doesn’t smarten up his bloody attitude. Anyway, I leave that for you boys to take care of. I wanna cold beer and a shower.”

“Ginny, make certain Rebecca here has a nice bungalow, love. Drinks are on the house. I’ll catch up with ya for a drink later, hey, Rebecca? We got a beach party and a dance on tonight if you’re interested.”

“Ta. Sounds beaut, mate.”

“Right then.
