[Jason Rimbaud]

I for one am just happy to see @Ieshwar writing again. I don't believe I've seen anything from him in maybe ten years or so.

So average is 15,500, let's look for stories that fit that criteria  

In this situation, I think the median number is better, but I’m too lazy to figure it out.  😃

Take me to Your Leader- W_L (Am I telling the truth or misdirecting)

Nope, I think it's @drsawzall if cars are the key!

[Cane23]

I'm probably wrong but 'Hide and Seek' and 'Yacht club' look like @kbois and @Mikiesboy's ode to each other. I can even picture them driving in that car around US!

Ode to each other—okay, LOL, but no. I'll give you a hint. No one who has guessed so far has mine right. Good luck.

So that's no on Hide & Seek, For Ever Young, or Hiding in Plain Sight...that leaves 10 more attempts for @Mikiesboy, for everyone who guesses after this. You're welcome!

I don't know @Mikiesboy at all, can we trust him to be truthful in this situation? Because I still think he wrote Yacht Club.

It's probably a safe bet that anything involving cats and sci-fi is not in my wheelhouse.

My contempt for cats goes back to childhood. Nasty critters.

Can't believe I'm going to say this, but I can't help myself. 

You do know that cops are allowed, under law, to lie to anyone at any time. So that doesn't really lend credence to that particular claim.

Isn't hide and seek about the cross country trip? Is my memory that shot due to whiskey?

Yes. The only reason I remember is due to the open road. And Disney. Doggone Disney.

As soon as they entered, a fluffy black and white tuxedo cat ran over and rubbed against their legs. “Hello, Mr. Meowster. I’ll feed you in a minute.” The little cat purred as he followed them to the guest room.

'Hide and seek' by SA (yet)

Not married to a cop.  He's was a cop, He now works for them in a civilian role. So, I can lie if i want to.  Who says @kbois and I are friends?
