__Tuesday 12 June Duck shooting__ Bang, Bang! Standing in my camo, hunting gear, staring out the camouflaged mimi there was nothing in the pitch black sky. Nigel decided to shoot but it was just a waist of bullets. We asked Nigel why he shot? Chuckling he said “Oh sorry bro’s just a little warm up”. Getting my double barrel shotgun loaded and ready to fire I shot a duck that was soaring above us. The gun gave me a bit of a shock because of the kick that the gun has. The duck just flopped down to the ground. The smell around us now smelt like heaps of gun powder from all the shots the we were all taking. I dropped my shotgun and sprinted down to collect the duck. I was so happy, I shot the duck right in the neck!

__Monday 27 June__ __Title__ 7.02am ‘Yawn’ I had just woke up. Wiping the sleep out of my eyes I leisurely got out of bed, stomping down stairs. As I was opening the pantry I heard a huge BANG just outside the front door. Instead of chowing down on my breakfast I sprinted for door urgently wanting to get outside to see what happened. As I flew open the front door I saw an old 1979 ford mustang half way through the next door neighbors house! Rushing over to the neighbors house I stopped and looked if anyone was inside the mustang. I peered inside the window of the house. What I saw shocked me off my feet. A member of the Mafia saw me looking through the window then started chasing me home. I flew straight through the front door. Petrified I told my mum and dad what had happened.

10.34am A couple of hours later we hear sirens for Africa. One of the police woman came to our door and asked us what had happened. I did most of the explaining because I was the one that was a the scene. Just before I left the room I told the police woman about the Mafia while looking straight out the window. There he was staring angrily at me the Mafia guy.

11.00am As petrified as I was I decided to go peer outside looking for the Mafia guy. Straight away I feel a very strong grasp around my torso area. Instead of screaming out for help I swung around trying to throw a punch at the guy, reaching his lower rib cage winding him for at least 1 minute. Just about ready to gap it the guy this time wrapped around my legs flipping me on the grass.

11.21am I can hear my mum screaming “Dwayne, where are you, Dwayne!” Now I couldn’t shout out this time with all the tape around my mouth. Trying to escape this Mafia guy. I hear a car that turns up with a fast break right outside my house. The guy in the car shouts out “Theo come here I have something for you”. Theo started walking back to me with his friend. Both of them grabbing me and lifting me up then taking me to Theo’s friends car and chucking me into the boot. With a very loud start the car was flying away.

11.53am I heard Theo and his friend talking about what they were going to do with me. One thing I did hear very well is that they might throw me down in the underground dungeon and drown me with loads of thick fuel.

12.09pm The car stops with a big loud screech. Theo clicks open the boot and drags me out. We were out side a old garage with stuff everywhere. Theo and his friend open the boot. Dragging me to there little office, I notice about 15 more mafia members in the grounds. When we got to the office The was a little man hole on the floor. Theo was opening the hatch while his friend is holding me so I can’t escape.

12.57pm Theo’s friend threw me into the man hole and locked down the lid.

13.01pm In the pitch black I could feel something liquidy crawling up my leg. Realising it was the fuel I was trying to open the hatch but it wasn't moving a millimeter! The fuel was now right up to my chest! I’m now struggling to move and the fuel kept rising and rising! Once the fuel got right to my chin it all of a sudden stopped. The hatch opened. What was going on? Looking out of the the hatch I saw my cousin Kaleb. Kaleb had his normal clothes on, his New balance sweatshirt, his track pants, his sneakers and his beanie. Kaleb was only 8 and wasn’t as smart as me.

13.39pm Kaleb had to yank me out of the underground dungeon. Once I was out of that horrible fuel dungeon, I asked him “Kaleb, how did you find me?” “ I was riding on my bike going around the block and I saw a car outside your house then I saw you laying on the ground with tape around your mouth so I decided to hide up in Fred and Susan's tree next door”. “ But how did you find me here?” I asked him. “ I saw the scary guy and his friend pick you up and dump you in the boot of the car. Then I followed you all the way here and saw how that scary guy turned on the fuel you were just in”. Kaleb sure does like to talk for a long time.

14.40pm I really wanted to get my revenge from what the tried to do to me. I decided to go back to there and get something that was really important to the Mafia. Before I could do that I got a little crew together (Kaleb and I) and get my two paintball guns in my wardrobe and loaded them up. Ready to go we had to somehow get to the hideout/base camp of the Mafia. Kaleb had the idea of taking cars but it might look suspicious turning up outside a gangs hideout. I had the idea of bikes, although we had to bike up alot of hills and down through an estuary, but at least it didn’t look suspicious. We decided on biking. So we got our bike and took off.

15.12pm Arriving at the gangs hideout we decided not do enter straight away because it was to light. Facing the other way we saw a car that looked familiar. Noticing who it was, it was my mum! “Kaleb! Get over here, my mums car is coming”! Watching my mums car go past, the car stops. My mum got out of her car and knocked on the door of a house. Walking out of the house was the Mafia guy. Somehow my mum new this guy! Surprising as it was Me and Kaleb jumped the fence of the hideout knowing that the Mafia guy wont see us because he is talking.

17.48pm It was getting dark so Kaleb and I started our revenge procedure. Starting off buy shooting our paintball guns all over the ground making
