Chapter+35

=//__CH 35: The Rinsing Machine__// = =//Summary// =  In this chapter Carl is working very hard to wash the sand off all the bottom of all the cars and four wheel drives that come onto the barge. Carl can remember the half empty trips to Wiseman’s Cove where he would finish all the cars before they got to the ramp, now his lucky if he gets to set up the position of the hose before the next lot of cars get onto the barge waiting to get back to Wattle Beach.

When Carl gets home that night he can hardly move. He drops himself onto the couch and lies there motionlessly. The phone rings and its Justine. Carl tells Aunt Beryl to say his already in bed; he has enough things in his mind to worry about at the moment. Beryl is still depressed about Bruce leaving her so she finds some money and tells Carl to get some pizzas ' Go get us pizza, nothing too spicy'. They taste like nothing to Carl, he has be shown how to make the world’s best pizza and longs for one of Justine's Pepperoni Mexican with extra hot chillies for the very brave.

When Carl finished cleaning he brought Beryl her coffee plunger and they sat down together in silence. Beryl asked about Harley, ' How’s Harley getting on?' ' I saw him with joy this afternoon. Seemed happy enough.' Beryl wonders why Joy Duncan would want to look after a Matt, after the accident especially. Beryl explains to Carl all that had happened at and after the accident and why some sympathy should be given to the Matt's. ‘That’s right I haven`t seen dad for twenty years. He went to goal, you see. After the accident there was a big court case in Hedon and he got six years.' ‘I haven't seen him since.'

The next day was Tuesday, Carls day off. Carl got up, made breakfast and went down to the barge. Skip wouldn’t let Carl work on the barge so Carl spent his day in no man’s land down near the ramp for the barge. All day he saw workers laying down a slab of concrete, he asked them what is was for but the men didn’t know. It wasn’t until a couple of days later when there was a big red and white sing near the Wattle Lady which had written on it in big bold letters THE RISING MACHINE WATTLE LADY PASSENGERS ONLY.
