Like others have said, Adam's mother needs a series of colonics...she could be serious trouble if not gelded...yes...gelded... I keep coming back to why did Adam and his father need rescuing, what happened??? And I thought dealing with pirates was a difficult and deadly endeavor... “That is already happening, Mom. I had lunch planned today with him, on board here and that was changed to another location with his entire family at their request.” Mom just rolled her eyes and looked at Dad. “Already. Wonderful.” He thought for a minute. “Let’s just cancel it then. We’ll use the Nova Provider’s arrival as an excuse.” I looked at both of my parents as they planned my life right in front of me.

Loving the way this story is developing, so well written and descriptive, rich in nuance and details!!! MORE PLEASE!!!!

Thanks for this, life goes on and the 'golden' years can be just as enjoyable as the earlier years, and so much richer!!!

In fact, I'm not sure Jane would be Fonda of Harris.... chris191070 119,008 Posted 10 hours ago

I'm not all that fond of Harris....

Variety is the spice of life, and we have it in spade in this chapter...so much going on and new tangents being introduced...any guesses now will be far off the mark...however, there is some to the following to ponder over...

I know a few bill collection agencies I would like to send the rat army to....just sayin.... Looks like a protracted fight against the order, what of vampires in other lands??

Of all the things I've lost or misplaced, I think I miss my mind the most....

Don't forget dust bunnies or the jackalopes either!!!

Tingling gonads appear to point towards the 'fated mate'.... Several subplots are curious to say the least along with unanswered questions from previous chapters... What was the nature of the incident that crippled the Knight's vessel???? Lastly, there be pirates out there matey....

One would suspect von Hohenburg isn't/wasn't a cat burglar, with the type of breaches one would wear, there could be no disguising the equipment he was carrying and there would be little room for any purloined trinkets...

Anduin either needs to be sold again, moved on , or suffer a fatal accident....I have exactly zero tolerance for him.....

I'd been waiting for this...and about frigging time!!!! “There’s not much I can do, is there? I’m hardly in a position to help, thanks to you?” It all came out rather sharper than intended and she turned to him, surprised. “Well! What did you expect. The police keep dragging me in for questioning, convinced that I know where all the fucking money is hidden. Damian doesn’t know whether he’s coming or going, he hates you and misses you. We’re seriously thinking of getting him a therapist.” “A therapist?” “Yeah. You can’t just piss off and leave him and expect him to shake himself and carry on. He’s only ten for God’s sake. I do my best but at this rate, you’ll be lucky he’s still speaking to you when all this is over. And we’ve got bloody years of it. You realise that.” “Hardly years. Come on Ludo…” “No! You don’t get do to that anymore. No bloody come-on, Ludo. The trial won’t be until next year, if we’re lucky. The solicitor says that the finance side might be so complicated they’ll want a delay. And they are still looking for more money. Whatever happens, there’s bound to be an appeal. And we have to sit tight and pretend that life’s a dream. Thank you very fucking much.”

I'm hoping for this result!!!

Here's hoping they find the peace they both need!!

A lot to unpack from this chapter, it may take a second read...what was the reason for the argument between the siblings? We still don't know who the two people are who died, were they part of the disagreement between Marc and his sister?

I have been suitably forewarned..... Occasionally things happen that prevent an author from meeting the deadline. If you need an extension, contact Valkyrie before the deadline (not the day of or after), and something may be able to be worked out.

And we learn another valuable use for baseball bats and the applied physics of cranial interaction...Right now the best that could happen is for the cabin to burn down... How in the fu@k do we go from this to the end of the evening???? "Yeah," Nate said. "It was just you and me for so long. I wanted to give you the world. But...things change, kiddo. And that's okay." Caleb's frown deepened, his arms tightening around himself. "But what if it's not okay? What if...what if I lose you?" Nate's expression softened, his eyes warm with reassurance. He scooted closer, wrapping an arm around Caleb's shoulders and pulling him into a loose hug. "Hey, listen to me," he said firmly. "You're my son, Caleb."

I can't disagree with any of the comments, hoping to all get out that Peter Motts not only emasculated but castrates his youngest daughter. That as a neutered person, she's left to wallow in her own self-made misery... This was another standout chapter with so many interconnecting threads and yet again, the addition of two new 'lost' boys and the discovery of more names belonging to the deck...the trail is no longer cold but getting increasingly warmer... For what it is worth, this story reminds me of the Bayeux Tapestry, link below, not for what it represents but the enormity of life it portrays. Bayeux Tapestry - Wikipedia

Just who was/is the man with only one eye left in the chair???

Anduin is a troublesome snake and Clair is troublesome, we need a revolution and upend this society....

What could possibly go wrong/right???

A parable and some foreshadowing here....

Do pen lights count? Ralph shrugged, “OK. Do it.” He turned to Ivor, “So, our crotches are going to be all over the internet.” “Milly says I need to stop hiding my light under a bushel.” Beth laughed, “So, that’s what it’s called.”

Glad to see they have expanded their numbers to properly defend themselves... Not sure I would seek employment servicing/maintaining the castle, the HR Department must be non-existent and the benefits don't pay enough if one messes up feeding the pets..... Thomas smiled, a sinister glint in his eyes. “He is much calmer than before. He has been handled,” he replied, his voice dripping with satisfaction. “That is good news,” Vladimir said, a cruel smile spreading across his face. “And so has Elena, who fed the wolves. It was so kind of her.”
