The story so far: Robert and Julie went for a walk when someone stalked them. The person seemed to look like President Obama but when removing the rubber mask, it turned out to be a blonde woman who ran away. Later, in their Winnebago, they made love. Soon someone was rocking the van. Robert took his shot gun, caught his hand and fell and became unconscious. Julie called the police and ambulance. A policeman came, saw the gun and tried to remove it when a shot went off into the ceiling.
The constable stared at Julie. "What’s going on?"
"Someone was rocking the van," Julie snapped back.
"And this man was trying to shoot them?" asked the officer sarcastically as he pointed to Robert.
"No, but we had a problem in the park, before!"
"Excuse me!" The ambulance officer was pushing his frame through the door to examine Robert and then put an oxygen mask over Robert’s mouth and nose.
Julie pointed to Robert’s head. "I tried to stop the bleeding," she said.
"I heard a gun go off," pondered the ambulance man.
"It went off," agreed the constable.
"Why don’t you both step outside. I’ll see what I can do for this man," said the ambulance officer to Julie and the constable.
By this time, a group of policeman had gathered at the door of the van and another ambulance officer was waiting outside with a stretcher bed. From the door, a constable said, "Madam, would you please come outside."
Robert was breathing heavily as an unconscious person often does.
A moment later, Julie was standing near the police car, explaining, "We are on holiday from Sydney and went for a walk in Burnie Park where we were stalked. It turned out to be a blonde woman in a President Obama, full-head rubber mask. The woman then ran away. We came here and then the van rocked."
"What do you mean?"
"Well, we were sitting on the bed and it rocked a bit..."
"Why the gun?"
"We had trouble in Sydney, that’s why we came to Tasmania. Some people didn’t like us."
"Why didn’t they?"
"A long story."
"And why the Obama mask?"
"You’ll have to ask Robert but it has something to do with America."
"What?"
"I don’t know."
An ambulance man approached them, "We’ll take him to emergency. It might be a good idea if the lady came too."
There was a moment of silence, then Julie thought that she heard the insane laughter of the blonde woman in the distance.
