Cry of the Taniwha
“Someone had been digging holes all over the place. It could’ve been Cecil, but Matt would put his money on it being Zirk. Skulla handed over the spade and ordered Matt to start digging.
Matt turned to Eve. ‘Where do you think it was?’ Eve moved to a spot near the edge of the bare ground. ‘Round about here, I think. What do you think Jackson?’ Jackson shrugged. ‘There somewhere.’ ‘Dig!’ shouted Skulla.
Matt looked at him and saw that he was pacing around the place as if he needed to go to the to...ilet. He was nervous. All three of them were. Old Tani wasn’t helping. Every now and then he would let out a cry that would increase their anxiety.
Matt’s first mission was to find the piece of glass. If they found that, they might be able to convince the man that there was no diamond. Matt knew it wasn’t buried very deep, so instead of digging he scraped at the surface. Eve and Jackson joined in by scratching around with their shoes.
It was Jackson who found it. He picked it up and handed it to Skulla.MoreLess
