Unfortunate? Hmmm 🤔, momma bear or Mo? At least with momma bear they had a fighting chance! Hahaha 🤣 Momma bear also saved our Mo from having blood on his hands; it’s no doubt he may yet need to be directly involved but this way seems more kid friendly. 🤭

How resilient and unassuming youth can be. Jon is finding himself amidst these events, while the new and/or younger boys are just adjusting to being cherished and safe; summation found in Charlie and Vasily finding strength, love, and comfort from story time lessons.

Though this chapter focuses a lot on the boys’ “feelings,” it also has lots of nuggets hinting to the larger picture. Taran is distracted internally but yet still seems to be homing in on other possibilities for the adversary’s plans. Ronnie has gained much confidence and helping cement team trust as evidenced last chapter and here in this one. A lot of good build up leading to future actions of the younger generation of heros!

For a detective that claims great “gut instincts “ Detective Shaw is an obsessive IDIOT! Stefan is a known murdered; Shaw sounded no alerts and made no attempts to subdue, instead he allows himself to become a puppet to his obsession over Vincent. Likewise, in Vincent’s relaxed pace of recovery as he relishes the new pack, family, and mate bonds, he has let his guard down and not focused on rebuilding his or his bracelet’s energy stores. With Stefan’s given presence in their community, and with his invasive issue of the teasing notice to Vincent, the stance was guarded to protect Vincent by staying with Mace; now the status is urgent as Stefan has slapped Vincent with his toying games of cat and mouse, with the IDIOT Shaw as a distraction. Vincent needs a panic button alert system; to his mate and his assigned enforcer. Being drawn into a trap is too high a risk with Stefan and the pack support and response has to be a cordon of containment that leaves Stefan little options. Vincent needs to fully trust his mate and family now more than ever full disclosure and coordination; and Shaw need the stark and deadly warning to understand what his last warning truly means. A great but truly frustrating chapter @astone2292has dealt us. As we are given ever reason to love and embrace Vincent, and his new life with Mace and family, it it all the more frustrating to see him now toyed with and betrayed in such deep emotional ways...arrrrgh!

A boy’s dog is also his partner and protector, if they bond as I believe these boys and dogs will. Our family dog probably became closer to me as the older brothers were not around as much as the puppy and I were. We explored and spent lots of superhero hours together. Then we changed our routine, I got a large paper route on my tenth birthday; which had lots of wee early dark morning deliveries. At the speed I could ride my heavily loaded bicycle at ten years old, my family’s dog would always be trotting along my side. This continued for the following years too, as we grew together, as he would not allow anyone and anything near unless I called his stay. With the many long shadows and strange noises of those early hours, my dog was my comfort and my courage; as together we were a team! He was with me on most all my morning deliveries for the best of six years, as he was slowing with age my route got bigger and I started driving with my new license and an old Opel Kadett; Bandit still stayed with me while I folded those papers in the shed, and then while loading the car, but then he would return to his porch outlook awaiting my return. He passed approximately one year later; the summer of my junior year. The smartest, most loyal, and best friend I’ve ever had.

Yes, human smuggling is accomplished without true regard for life; in such conditions death should be charged as murder vs manslaughter, as the probabilities make it impossible to believe death is not likely. Just as the smugglers here have no regard for putting honest businesses and/or workers at risks of confiscated property and/or significant legal charges for crimes not of their doing; or even death in the confusion of a raid, where only a few know the risks and the enlightened become possible casualties in the confusion of policing actions.

Considering this exit, they may want to consider one with a cargo hold and ramp for quick escapes! Haha

With the Joey’s rescue in progress the references of the body parts the young thugs were volunteering for lessons in anatomy, pressure points, and pain, had me thinking of some old classics for learning! Humming : He grabbed one’s arm, he punched another’s nose, he clanked the first one’s nads, and then he wrenched third one’s arm until the shoulder made him speak a profane prose; Hahahah, too bad the second verse didn’t complete before the learning made more progress.

Also we have the problem with the high volume of foot traffic, as the boys self serve, for multiple courses, and this will require that U to be a little more spread/spaced for that freedom of movement.

Likewise, just a tidbit of knowledge doesn’t automatically mean, oh hell, you know this so I might as well tell you everything. I haven’t told you yet about another part, mages, magic, of our supernatural...WHAT? That defies secrecy logic; do we go ahead and invite him to the pack meeting? lol ok, I’m done now! Hahaha Your storyline is still fantastic, so please don’t take my comments to be a slam, it’s just sharing a classification and protection type environment. Beyond what you already know, Sgt Shwartz says: I KNOW NOTHING!.”

If the boys did go to public school that would be the easiest bus route for the driver; drive to Carleton’s house load ‘em up, then return to do the drop off, ✅ It would not be nearly as traumatic for the boys to attend school now as originally thought, as now there is little chance any brother would ever be far from another brother; at any time! 😂 Even at home, where do you go to have privacy, where someone else is not already doing the same thing; shower...no, the sink and toilet are still available; you’ll have to pretend to be doing a stinky, lol, to pull that off it’s a good thing boys can fart on command! Just thinking and reflecting to gain perspective... 🤔

Don’t get too wrapped about in the details @astone2292, of “waaay too many errors in italicization and punctuation.” Like the Lycans hearing what is barely spoken. “We can read, undarstan, and Njoy wat is wRitt3n w3n them English gieks jut dont git it#” 😊 Oh Dave, did you ever wonder exactly why and how the manager “happened” to be there, at the right time, in the right place, to overhear the conversations of Lycans, when your superior hearing should have detected the presence of any normally approaching humans. 🤔 Keep the updates coming, as we have to “scratch” out a mating and quickly morph Vinnie some bonding growth; he can even do it before the stitches are wasted at the tailor! Little Vinnie needs to adapt before the smug manager and his evil master coordinates intelligence and returns to strike Vinnie in a weakened state; the presence of the NY delegation helps make up for a Vinnie transitioning weakness and Mace’s distraction to care for him. Likewise, make they are objective enough to still be wary of Quin! 😡

You didn’t forget, you were allowing the true recommended cure time on the cement pool tub; so now the concrete apron/patio can be poured and the surfacing can be applied to the below the tile water line. So you actually planned it well and didn’t let the kids get too curious, hahaha 😝

Hmmm, eye for eye vengeance due to interstate child napping, enslavement, and prostitution of minors; so...the children went missing, never to be seen again, yet living a life of slavery and sexual abuse. They deserve no better, only a trial of determination, if guilty, stripped of identity, they go missing, they suffer, repeat as necessary!

Hmmm, Mari was the fiancé of Colin and near sister-in-law to Taran. The views she has of the children being taken too quickly and without choice seems more jaundiced than I’d expect; especially from someone that had been so close within the “royalty” her relationship had placed her. But she did quit the syndicate, so how much of Colin’s views or influence did she have, or vice versa? Taran sees the major foe in broad daylight, and closely monitoring the anti-syndicate protest... hmmm 🤔.

Yeah, I think the older kids under Maria and Peter’s approval need to work as an order manager; then as the results prove themselves, let the venders know you business credentials and establish the accounts for the orders to be placed weekly or biweekly, for next day delivery. Baking bread and growing vegetables help ensure the true fresh Maria needs and the greenhouse should be starting to produce soon! Likewise, the previous order lists of clothes for the boys should be compiled as depreciating inventory, but the laundry inspection should be used to check off on any clothes needing replacement or repairs. The store room should have a back stock of shoes, socks, slacks, underclothes, and shirts. The ages, with height, weight and shoes sizes, should be a tracked for growth and health anyway. Then the growth and associated rotation of hand me downs would be easy to assign as those recorded height/weights change; thank goodness, boys or easier to dress and the focus is more towards color coordination, conditions and functionality! 😂 When is Peter picking up the motor coach? Oh, and definitely splurge for the toilet/bathroom option, it is a motor coach! Can you imagine, “dad, I need to pee”...times 30 over, and then the ole “ARE WE THERE YET!”

Charlie doesn’t mind giving up his room; now we have to hope he shares with Carleton or a brother why he is so dependently attached to Carleton.

Well, we had enough for one team of boys, now we can have enough to field a full practice of opposing teams! Lol. How long before we have the stands full of spectators too? So home schooling now has a concern for class room sizes. Carleton is soon to have his own compound with a storeroom of commodities such as clothing, shoes, and school supplies. The theater will need to seat a minimum of 35 and buses usually hold no more than 45; many challenges as even a vacation will now require either a charter bus or a family motor coach; even then, the older boys will need to form troops as they chaperone the younger brothers. lol More seriously, this is so, so sad. Even more sad is that these stories are easily true as the numbers here in this story only reflect somewhat of the cases which come to light of the authorities; the same assumptions are that the real numbers are much higher. It is tough to imagine any child in this situation, but one has to remember these are peoples’ kids; people either too poor and/or manipulated into giving their kids into sex slavery. Many of the parents were probably told of the grand opportunity or the education their kids would get, all lies of course. Either way, the level of corruption is unforgivable; whether the parents are complaisant or complicit, it matters little to children whose lives are to be hell.

They, the friends on high, can’t move any rescue kids without his presence, hence the face to face, but likewise they can’t hold the kids in a region to risk their exposure back into the clutches of the evils that otherwise await those “probable but not unexpected “ kids. 🤦

We can’t let those building contractors go home, all that time repositioning equipment would just add time to the next phase! Hahaha 🤣

Gets wind or sniffs it out?

Oh wow, what a rollercoaster you have built for the journey of these young lovers. I was very unsettled in the way book one ended; thinking that the story had terminated before its time. Then you started with the posting of this continuing saga, and what a tale it is. Together, these stories take us on a journey of every emotion known to man; and it’s so intense as we often go from one extreme to the other within a paragraph or two. But the rollercoaster theme does final arrive at destination love; but not just for our power team but their besties too! 😂 Now little Sean gets to grow while surrounded by his complete family of blood and love. This is an intensely emotional but a very rewarding read, the plot and twist will have you ready to puke 🤢 and then screaming in excitement, then to jerk to tears before discovering love ❤️. Thanks for sharing you story, your discussions, and time with us; and congratulations on completing a wonderful story.

Arrrgh, the anxieties of adolescence, puberty, and sexuality; nothing but unpredictable and law defying, with high likelihood of unstable compounds! 😂 You capture this so well, as we often don’t recognize our own attributes for focus on our insecurities. Conversely, we tend to place the objects of our desires for friendship, love, and attention, upon an unrealistic and unobtainable pedestal of perfection. I look forward to the emotional journey of possibilities we are sure to find in this tale of Trey, Dallas, and the team. As always, thank you Comsey, for sharing your masterful tales of gay life.

Wow, what a egotistical maniac! So sad the blindness this shadow mage Gregoro has; the disrespect for anyone or anything that doesn’t support his further empowerment. Elaine proves she is indeed a fierce adversary. It appears her peripheral awareness and cooling thinking multiplies the strengths of her native powers. This is a great backfill store of context and character of these mainstream characters; excellent and exciting chapter!

Woohoo 🎉 a new post! Settling in for the read now...yippee Oh yeah, a great chapter. The emotions of love enveloped in anxiety are very real and so reflective of social influences; love is so much sweeter when served with banana caramel cream! I suspect the team is about to learn in the biggest and most realistic lab available; the real world with all it’s challenges. It’s great to see an update on our young heroes, loving it and please keep the posts coming!
