Hi mate

I had an amazing idea last night while playing Xbox for six hours. What if we pretended to rob Jackson Thurlow’s new house?

It would give him a real scare. Hilarious huh?

Mate!

Awesome. Seriously clever.

You know what’s really good about it? Welcoming someone to Geelong by pretending to break into their home truly reflects the values of the local community.

You know what’d be amazing? Balaclavas.

We could drive up in them. Do you think getting some guns would be a good idea? Make it authentic and stuff.

They wouldn’t have to be real guns I guess but there’s a guy at the local pub that can get me anything.

Maybe hold off on the guns. Apart from that, what could go wrong? This is seriously the best idea I’ve ever heard.

Ok. We’ll go back to your place after training on Thursday and head off from there. Thurlow’s house is number 44.

I thought it was number 46. Do you want me to double check?

Nah. I’m pretty sure.
