Back to the pit of social vipers, and an interesting meeting with the King.

Here's hoping the gift to Leo helps to solidify his bonding...

Just a despicable place with a soul sucking energy....

Things are looking up...

Alan has been giving signs that he's been living on the edge of bursting the 'bubble' for some time now. I have to believe the compression, form-fitting shorts weren't the only reason for the generous tips... Has Alan been back to the pornographer on the sly??? While I understand Cal is in a difficult position regarding lodging, he needs to make it abundantly clear that there cannot be any sexy times with Alan. Notwithstanding the lack of a condom, STDs, and Covid, Alan has become his own worst enemy. I'm hoping that Cal has the adult conversation with Alan, making him understand that they are only roommates. I think Cal needs to have a conversation with Jordan as this impacts him as well.... Sometimes my prodigious powers of prognostication hit the mark...now off to buy a lottery ticket.... I'll take those odds, will Alan swallow????....However, I am still rooting for the intercession with Brandi and Alan, Cal and the gentleman from Food Services...perhaps both will be on the facilities/groundskeeping side....

Nothing comes easy for Luther!!

The patient has a name and his recovery is progressing nicely. We are still in the dark regarding the accident. Has an accident reconstruction team been tasked to investigate? Further work on recovering VIN numbers for the car? Where is the car now? While it is early days yet, would it be possible to determine the rate of speed the car was traveling? There is a metal doohickey laying on the floor of the car, hoping it isn't overlooked... The adoption records we are told, for the lack of better words, sealed or difficult to obtain... If they are having difficulty, why would that be? 'Josh' was born in 2008; he has to exist in an electronic database, will finding that reveal information best kept secret or are we in for a magical mystery tour??? “But you should know, this wasn’t a random match. The system linked your fingerprints to a set of adoption records that haven’t been touched since the day they were filed. Nothing flagged in foster care, no known incidents. It's like your life was perfectly quiet… until now.” I tried to process that. A life on file but blank in my head. Like someone had written a whole book and then ripped out the pages before I could read them. “Is there a photo?” I asked, not even sure what I hoped for. Natalie flipped through the folder again, then shook her head. “No baby picture, no family photo. Just legal paperwork. Birth certificate, adoption decree, a few hospital logs from your delivery.” “Right,” I muttered. “No breadcrumbs, then.” She gave me a small, apologetic smile. “Not yet. But we’re not done searching.”

I think that for Gavin to benefit from his visit to the juvenile prison, he just may need a couple more. Perhaps talking to 'other' prisoners might/reinforce the lesson. I just don't hold out any hope that it was a long-term fix towards his thinking/behavior. Mel, how could I forget that Jr League A-Hole...Why do I fear his hooking up with Gavin??? Get Leon's room redone ASAP, it may or may not help.... To the day we see this, it would mean a dramatic shift in culture and tax dollars but think of the tax dollars returned by former prisoners holding well-paying jobs...

From sad endings, a new beginning....

The boys were fortunate to have managed to come through their ordeal; the brutality in the manner they were treated was sickening. One hopes the remainder of the journey is peaceful....

Just an enthralling tale from the mind of the master of the Midlands!!!

Thank you for this, it was deeply appreciated and a truly fantastic story!!! “Yeah. And solemnly announced that as well as the three of us having family time, it would be nice if you came along. As you were family too, it seems.” “So, I’ve been adopted.” And I've always believed Toby was more than the sum of his parts.... There was a shout from Brian, “Hey, you two. Train’s coming. What were you and Russ talking about, sport.” Toby shrugged and smiled, “Oh, just family stuff.” Time to find that larger house!! Again...thanks for this!!!

Jeeze...what could possibly happen....

Humm, more moons tonight....

Then there's this... They’d prepared for nearly every possibility. Including a scroll of [Resurrection]. That had set them back twelve thousand gold, but it would be vital if one of them died today. And there was a scary chance that someone would. Arlo couldn’t pull any tricks like he had on Hook Mountain.

Gonna need a scorecard to keep everyone straight and what they are doing!!!! What is going on with the secret projects!!!

You became he and he became you...or was it only you??

I suspect @Daddydavek, that there's a whole bunch more to 'cum'....

Interesting times ahead....

@Anton_Cloche beat me to it, but he's partially correct. It is nearly impossible to fully destroy the identity of any vehicle...I keep thinking back to the bombing of the federal courthouse by Timothy McVey. The force of that explosion failed to obliterate some of the 'hidden' VIN's... By tracing the vehicle identification numbers they created the trail that led to his capture... Whatever fell out of his jacket pocket hopefully remained with the wreck and is waiting to be found....

Trust human nature to find ways to mess up nearly any situation...

Another series of reasons to scratch my head... Heating and hot water seem to be the least of the problems at the house... Hopefully Jay finds his voice, I'm assuming that he can't read or write... Anduin has truly reached despicably even lower than I thought he could go...he truly is a disgusting POS... I mean....come on...where is his gruesome fatal accident when you truly need it... "Riri?" Anduin's question and careful touch on his arm made him wince. "Hmm?" "You look awfully stressed." Anduin smiled and brushed a strand behind Remy's ear. "That Jay is sleeping in your bed, isn't he, so why don't you join me? It's definitely more comfortable than the air mattress." Remy honestly didn't want to think more deeply about how much truth there might be in that statement, because at the sudden glint in Anduin's eyes, it was clear that first of all Remy himself would serve as the mattress. "I promised to look after him," he said. "He's on you like a limpet," Anduin said disapprovingly, and Remy sighed. "I'm not going to discuss this with you right now, Anduin." he said firmly, but then swallowed his thought that Anduin was pretty selfish. To his relief, however, Anduin took the hint and took a step back.

What are the odds that Dane will spill the secret soon, or at the worst possible time??? Darren may be the oldest among the boys and yet he's still a child... Zdain has been warned, will Josel have to save him???

Wonder just what kind of escapades they are getting into…

Dylan could use an attitude adjustment….he’s becoming boring… They name streets after folks like him…One Way.
