The phone in Connor’s pocket rang as he opened the door to Georgie’s shop. He was momentarily distracted by seeing her name flash on his screen and therefore did not notice the collective gasp of breath from the very crowded shop. The sudden silence made him look up even as his phone continued to ring. Every pair of eyes in the place were locked on him and he realised that he had made a mistake. He hadn’t thought they would find him so quickly, so hadn’t taken any precautions.

A small gasp from the back of the shop drew his eye and he saw Georgie, standing there with her phone in her hand, her eyes wide and horrified by the tableau. What a scene it must have been, almost like everyone was poised for a flash mob. He took a step towards Georgie and his movement broke the standoff. Before he knew it he was surrounded by flailing arms and raised voices as the women in the store all tried to get a piece of him. If it wasn’t so terrifying, it would have been funny. Scenes from the old show ‘The Monkeys’ flashed through his head as he tried to hold the women at bay. Small fights were breaking out around him as they all jostled for position and he was helpless to do anything, fearing for the safety of his fans and for Georgie.

He tried to sign as many autographs as he could as people shoved pens in his hands and cameras in his face. Sure he’d dealt with a crowd of fans before, but he’d always had security to keep them back. He had lost count of the number of times his butt had been pinched and his arms squeezed and his cheek kissed. They were ravenous and desperate and not above hair pulling.

The sound of a bullhorn had everyone covering their ears and silence descended. He looked up to see Millie had climbed onto the counter and had the bullhorn raised in her arm like some sort of conquering warrior.

“Step back ladies,” she said, “And I use the term loosely because you are all acting like a pack of hyenas. Give the man some space, would you?”

There was grumbling in the crowd and a renewed push towards him, but she squeezed the horn again, longer this time and the crowd once again stopped.

“If you do not do as you are told you will be forcefully ejected from the premises and banned for life.”

“Yeah?” someone called form the crowd, “Are you going to do the ejecting?”

Millie smiled, “No, but they will,” she said and pointed behind the crowd. Heads swivelled to see a couple of cops and a few burly looking men in a range of clothes from construction, fireman and local security to farmhand and mechanic. For a moment he was struck by the weird resemblance to the Village People, albeit an Australian version. The song YMCA started playing in his head as he watched the women step back from him giving him room to breathe.
