The Connection

Bob had met Bryan during an international rugby match between Japan and South Africa, it had been one of the best days of Bob's life as they had thrashed the Springboks in front of the Japanese faithful. Bryan had come up to him after the match discussing some of the plays and they had later gone for a beer and then dinner with Bryan's wife Mags, a New Zealand lass who loved the game and was never short of conversation and support for her husband. Years later after Bob's career had ended, the result of a nasty bite on the arm by a Puff Adder while climbing for charity in the South African Drakensburg, Bryan had convinced him to come and work at Hills Holland and introduced him to Bart Mickel. Bob began working for Fatcat Piet and initially found a great bunch of guys working there and good times were had by all. He only noticed a general change in attitude after one faitful night where one of the lads working there by the name of Powder, who seemed to be a bit on the wild side, had an affair with a young girl by the name of Grumpy Dixie.
