Date: Fri, 27 Feb 1998 07:16:18 +0800 From: Raymond McDowell Subject: INT: The Resort: Enter, the Wongs (The story so far: Ms. B.B. Loi, top secret agent for the HKSAR, has been dispatched by her government to quell the conspiracy that has caused the wholesale slaughter of chickens in Hong Kong, the undoing of the Hong Kong stock market and the El Nino weather pattern.) An' there Oi wuz, walkin' me wallaby for a little out and about on a bright autumnal day when what did Oi see but a trio o' tourists materialise roight b'fore me blinkin' eyes. They hadda be tourists, y'know, b'cause only tourists would be daft enought t' come backpackin' at the Resort. I nudged me wallaby in their direction an' greeted 'em just like you'd expect a proper Australian republican would. "G'day mates. How's by you this glowin' afternoon. 'Ow about a drink?" It was then I realized somethin' strange. Not one of these folks wuz dressed for the beach, not a bikini nor swimmin' suit amongst them. They was all covered up, like they wuz hidin' something. Bein' Resort security, it wuz me dooty t' investigate this matter.
