A great background to a tragic story....

I have to concur with the esteemed @Summerabbacat and hope at her trial the proverbial book is tossed at her... Sorry to hear of your winter blues @Summerabbacat, we are in for a week of 90 degree temps with 70 plus percent humidity....I have noted that the days are getting incrementally shorter here in the northern hemisphere!!!

Ther still has to be a way, perhaps another, slightly less dodgy, freight service????

We really need a groan emoji @Myr...... So delighted to have another adventure with Charlie and the gang!!! Love sitting in the easy, reclining chair of napping tucking into another story!!!

This pretty much sums it up.... "Take care," Andrew said loud enough for the officer- already halfway out in the hallway again- to hear. And then he added very quietly: "Overdose, huh? I would have done the same if I were you."

Hubris...hubris...Admiral...don't let over confidence come back to bite you in the ass... “The time for finesse has ended. My mate wants me to stop playing and come home to deal with other issues. Captain, if you would be so kind. Move us lower and coming out of the system’s primary above them.” What is going on in the Senate, is the Ides of March near??? Let's us not forget, someone out there has the same drive that Marc has, and the smarts to go with it....

It's time for the boys to take the battle to the bitches...this constantly being on the back foot is becoming tiresome, let's end this rinse and repeat....

Wow...I think our young man has some catching up to do....and the following from a previous chapter is intriguing... "He will need this along his journey." "Everyone of age there has one." "His will be special."

Thank you for this, I hope we can peek in on them in the future!!!

Sounds like just another day ion the classroom....right!!!! Can't wait to see the various houses/factions try to recruit him.... And...a great day in the neighborhood...Half of the Golden House was put down, one has to hope it was the worst of them...

Nice to see they've made the connection, and nothing can strain a relationship like a complete home/barn remodeling...but I like quartz for the counters...everybody is using gray inside the house...no to painting the house white with black trim and doors...I don't care, barns are always painted red....what's wrong with carpet in the dining room...you want white fabric chairs for the dining table???

Ah...Luke...a fabulous career in politics await....

A nice set-up and twist!!

Not for nothing, I would have liked to see Browbeat as he was....tho I think he's simply adorable!!! We have the beginnings of another great mystery...and as noted with a new enemy!!!!! Channeling my inner @weinerdog...sorry dog...I seem to be doing this a lot...must be my age..... "Well, that one guy, Murphy, he complained and whined the whole first part of the movie about the giant bugs coming closer, until that woman, Vicky, turned to him and said, 'Why don't you grow a pair?'. That's what got me thinking maybe I could grow some new stuff!" So that's what it means....new stuff anywhere besides between the legs???

Late to the party, but the comments pretty much covered my thoughts... You had me molesting the box of Kleenex with the first part...the rest, scratching my backside(ass) trying to make sense of it all... Rodney, to me is more than the sum of his parts...While I wouldn't say he was a 'plant' I wouldn't be surprised if he was...why do I feel we'll see him again... The whole trip from the hospital was overboard and overdone, I suspect it was at "Walter's" request...His institutional knowledge tells me he more than a player, someone hiding in the background who knows what levers to push and pull, all the while watching the marionettes dance... The house, it is in a neighborhood where a landscaper passing gas, draws attention...something is off here...screaming don't look behind the curtain al la Wizzard of Oz...the question is...where does a state trooper come up with the funds...if it is old money Daniel would be working for an investment bank...if it is the wife's...he'd be selling real estate in the Hamptons for the father-in-law, or sub-prime mortgage loans...something isn't jibing... Then there is the whole trip to Langley, simply so Walter could meet the mystery boy...something is also off there....there are so many innocuous, less obvious ways to deliver that the situation is ''Black"... Now to the large family gathering for the holiday... What's up with the investigation concerning the second car the night of the accident... What's up with figuring out who the Jumoke's in the hospital were, the connection is undoubtedly with the CIA...who sent them...someone had to get medical attention for stopping a cane with his face, there has to be fingerprints in the stair well...DNA , the latex gloves were taken off before scrambling down the South Stairwell...where is the video from inside and outside the hospital...you can't sell me there isn't any, not in this day and age...and the gun...not sure it was untraceable..... It is clear that the red herrings have successfully spawned....cause all we got is...

Jeeze...thanks...there goes 50K in word pictures.....

Please no Ethel Merman singing.....

Who knew Dan Brown existed in so many realities??? Nor was that the end of their struggles. An ornate puzzle sat in Arlo’s hands. Hundreds of tiny Thassilonian runes lined the case in various configurations, making Arlo’s mind spin just from the jumbled nature. “Oh fuck this DaVinci Code bullcrap….” The amurrun set the case carefully on the ground. Flipping through his transmutation spellbook, he glanced over a spell.

Truer words never spoken, I am constantly amazed at how we don't see the forest for the trees...The following gave me pause and truly reminded me of just how important your comments below are... GOP Rep Bashed for ‘Mistake’ Post Celebrating Millions Losing Healthcare

As much as I would like to, I simply can't surpass @kbois comment, nailing my thoughts exactly!! A master class in wordsmithing!!!!

This chapter was a hoot, could not help thinking of Morrie and is swimsuit lines.... I'm guilty... Scandiwegian sun worshipper I'm gonna pass on the dental flossing whilst engaged in a favorite pastime... 'I like a guy with a furry crack',

I have to agree...tho while it is highly improbable...I'm on team Alarik & Wolf....

Not sure about this chapter, there's a lot of angst in the air, perhaps an enforced nude weekend would help....Seriously maybe an away game of pocket pool might help... And don't forget, talking to each other is ok.... I have to agree...Noah is a snake...he's been places where the sun don't shine...or was it his place????

Danged if you do and danged if you don't, there's a interesting learning curve coming....
