Thanks Rick Now read on and hopefully enjoy: Holidays by the Sea The last chapter ended: "I'll ask if there are any instruments in the stores we could use." J offered. "Anybody else have an instrument that they can play?" He asked. There were no further offers, so the question was put whether or not the rest of the guys liked the suggestion. "I would prefer for us all to sing, but maybe the words will be better understood if spoken," Ozzie said. "Have you got a tune in mind?" Sergejus asked. "No, not really yet. If we get the other instruments then the three of us will have to talk through what we know and try to find one that is common to all of us." Andrew replied. "Ok, let's all go for lunch and I will try and find out this afternoon if there is anything that is available." J said and began to chase the guys up to finish dressing and get out of the dorm. Chapter 157. While J was having his lunch, Spiro came and sat next to him. "I have had a phone call from Jeff and he has agreed to meet you at the Stansted Airport and help to make sure the campers go where they are supposed to. I am really pleased because I was not happy with leaving that burden on you, but did not know of anyone else to prevail upon as the person in charge in England has had some problems and is no longer with the charity." Spiro told him. "That's great because he has written to me told me he has a surprise for me and now I know what it is." J said with a smile on his face. Spiro chuckled, "That's not his surprise. I know what it is and I can tell you, you will like it and you have my blessing and good wishes." "What is it?" J asked now very inquisitive again. "Oh, I could not spoil Jeff's fun in telling you." Spiro answered and J knew that he would get nothing more out of him on that subject. "While you are here; for the final night performance, my guys have asked for something more. Are there any musical instruments that they can use? In particular a flute and violin?" J asked. "What are your boys doing? A full staged production of phantom of the opera?" Spiro asked. "Actually, they were going to do a song which they have written, but they don't have a tune for it yet and some of the boys want to play a background tune for it while it is being recited, instead." J said without letting too much out. "Well, we'll have to go and check. I know there are some instruments in the store but I am not sure what." Spiro said and seeing that J had finished eating, "Come let's go and look now." The two got up and J carried his dishes to the counter where they would be collected for washing and then followed Spiro to the office to get the key and on to the store in the theatre. "I think the instruments are over in the far corner." Spiro said as he opened the door and felt around the door post for the light switch. J was not even aware that the theatre had a basement and was surprised as the lights came on at the size of the store and the stuff he could see from the doorway. They made their way over to the far right corner which they knew was the right one from the shape of a drum kit draped with a dust sheet. "Now let's see, both of the ones you want will probably be on the shelf against the wall. You start at bottom right and I will start at top left and let's see what we can find." Spiro said moving off to the left. J moved to the right of the shelves and got down on his knees to look at the items on the lowest shelf. Picking up a box he opened it to find a clarinet. Not the right wind instrument but it did give J hope. He found that they had a virtual orchestra of instruments and when he opened the eleventh case he found the flute he was hoping for. "I've got a flute here." J said as he stood up. "And this looks very much like a violin case." He added as his eyes came level with the shelf in front of him. Putting the flute down next to the case, he lifted it off the shelf and opened it. He was right. They now had the two instruments that J had asked for. "I've got a keyboard here." Spiro said. "This might help them to practice when they can't get into the theatre." "Thank you, I am sure that will be a great help for the guys." J showed his gratitude. "Think nothing of it. You have come with the ideas and requests and I am glad you have managed to get a bunch of teenage boys so enthused about their final act." Spiro said. "Actually, I am not sure just what is going to happen. I know some of the general plans, but I have not been allowed a sniff at the words of the song, so we might be pleasantly surprised or otherwise embarrassed." J said. "Oh, I'm sure that we will find it all in good taste. You have done wonders with that dorm. I heard about the two picking on the other one in the theatre at the beginning of the camp and now I am told the three of them are best friends." Spiro said. "If you can turn teen boys around like that then I am sure you have a good dormitory that will not let you down." Spiro assured J. "I'm not so sure it is what I have done." J blushed modestly. "Don't sell yourself short J. You did a tremendous job with the younger boys on the last camp and you appear to have done just as well with the ones we thought would be harder. A lot harder. You have got a talent for this and need to use it at every opportunity." Spiro praised him. "Come on, I'll help you carry these back to the dorm. If any of the others want an instrument then you know some of what is in here and we can get them out. Just make sure the boys look after them." "Thank you Spiro. Thank you for trusting me and treating me so well." J said. "You get the treatment you earn. That is a fact of life." Spiro said, picking up the case with the keyboard in it and leaving J to carry the violin and the flute. Once J had stored the equipment in his room he went to find his charges and see what they were up to. He found them on the field participating in some team activities where they had been mixed up with some of the other dorms and J spent some time observing and noticed that in most of the groupings his boys were taking a leading role and working their team partners into cohesive groups using some of the same tactics he had used with them. What J did not notice was that Daniel Scorby was not there. He did notice him returning to the field and went over to check if he had a problem that J needed to do something about. "Oh no. I have just been to the loo." Daniel answered. "Ok. Glad it was not a problem that needed some help." J responded. What J did not realise or even contemplate was that he had just been fed a bit of white lie. Sure Daniel had been to the loo but he had also carried out another mission on behalf of the whole dorm. Daniel went in and rejoined with his team which also had Andrew in it and this was possibly why J had not noticed Daniel was missing until he actually returned. J watched for about half an hour and then the whole group was given a refreshment break as they needed to have some more fluid intake. All the guys came over to J which just showed how popular he was with his dorm. When they were all gathered around him, he told them about the instruments and they all cheered and then looked at each a little conspirationally, but J did not pick up on it because he had not yet realised that they were up to something. "I'll see you back at the dorm when you have finished here." J told them as they were called back to join their respective teams for the rest of the afternoon's activity. J made his way back to the office first and after checking for any post for his dorm, he went on to the shop and topped up on what drinks he thought he needed to carry him through to the end of the camp. Getting back to the dorm, J distributed the few letters that had arrived for some of the boys onto their respective beds and then went into his room to restock his cooler and get the spare water bottle to take down to the other end of the dorm to fill it up. He then lay back on his bed and closed his eyes to rest. J had no intention of falling asleep, but he did and woke up with a bit of a start when the boys returning made enough noise on their entrance to wake him. He got up and went out to see the boys some of whom had already started strip off in preparation for their next shower of the day. Noticing this, J went back into his room and stripped off to go down and begin turning on the showers for the boys. After the showers, J called the boys together and showed them the instruments they had asked for and let them know that if they wanted some other ones he might be able to get them as well as there was quite a selection, but none of the other boys offered themselves even though a couple of them actually could play an instrument, but they did not have the confidence to use their ability for this event. The three boys who were going to try playing came forward and took their choice of instrument. "I am going to trust you to look after these instruments and the rest of you guys to help them to look after them. So no rough housing where the instruments are being used or kept. And when you are not using them, I think you should keep them in my room as there is less risk of an accident there." J told them. The boys all felt a sense of pride when J gave them the responsibility as it showed that he did trust them and this camp was the first time that anyone had shown them this trust. Each of the boys also consciously decided that they would do what they could to make sure that this trust was not betrayed.
