“A big event in the West household: Loretta is about to turn 16. She can now legally leave school…but not if her parents have their way.
At home, Wolf has news, excellent news… He’s contacted a school, a private school, which is willing to take Loretta – St Mary Ignatius. If she won’t go – there’s always the Wairarapa. He’s called Auntie Jeanette, Auntie Jeanette is Closed Brethren and lives on a rural compound with the six cousins and psychotic Uncle Kees.
She agrees to enroll at St Mary Ignatius. At Loretta’s party, Jools arrives looking quite a lot like Loretta. Seeing Loretta and her new friend so close in their matching T-shirts and jeans does not reassure Cheryl, but Kasey and Rochelle think she’s handling Loretta’s ‘coming out’ reasonably well. On Monday, Cheryl drops Loretta at school, but as soon as she’s out of sight of Cheryl, another girl steps out from the bushes, dressed in an identical uniform, with an identical school bag. It’s Jools who’s starting her first day at her new school as ‘Loretta West’.
Van and Munter find the truck rumoured to hold the goods…heaps of crays.“ Adapted from www.outrageousfortune.co.nz; 12/02/2007
