Not sure who the fu$k Jackie was fooling with the following comment..... He stared at her, “I don’t think I have the energy for this. It’s long past the time when we should have talked.” There was silence, but she didn’t move away. Finally, “I wasn’t planning on abandoning you?” Say what????? “Well, it certainly looked like that. Those photos.” “Andreas’ idea. Put the police off the scent, we could leave, set up new identities and you could join us later.” “Us?” How long later???? After being 'framed', possibly incarcerated, Damian in foster care at the worst, do you think either Ludo or Damien would want to join you...you selfless bitch!!!! She gave a snort, ‘Christ, nothing like that. Purely a business venture, he’s devoted to that hausfrau of his.” And what to do with the rest of your life Jackie whilst living in some 3rd world country, there's no frigging way she wouldn't be climbing the walls after a year or so of hiding out!!!! Therapy...therapy...and more therapy for all is desperately needed!!!! Fantastic chapter to say the least!!!!

Are they really policemen? Let's hope whatever was written is of help...the nurse should have called for a doctor to stop the discharge once the signal was given to the nurse....

What a remarkable thing for Michael's parents to not only contemplate, but do, along with Madiline and Colin to adopt him. A sad commentary on our healthcare system, where we go screaming like heck to avoid 'socialized' healthcare and eagerly embrace insurance that denies lifesaving coverages, 99% of the time because of the effects on profits....Sorry, not sorry for the rant... I'm loving this story even tho we had this little tid-bit...

Tom is a royal pain in the ass who needs to learn that no, means just exactly that.... Frank, has a crush on Dante, it is plainly obvious... And just where are these 'other' religions practiced??? "Angels are beings appearing in other religions, used as messengers and protectors for humans by their deities. Your divine namesake, Dante, would probably pass for an angel in other religions."

Glad to see you posted another chapter and one with quite a twist!!

For this story it works well!

Any man who comes bearing a 5lb bag of tater tots can...well you get my drift, (have his freaking way with me)...till the tots run out...Let's not forget the rib eyes either... Absolutely an amazing landscape...

My point exactly, whatever assets she has is subject to forfeiture if in fact there was some skullduggery at play here... My concerns here is that if they go to court, the Judge assigned will be the one who hated Mickey at the competition in DC...I hope that Judge is blatant with his biases giving grounds to take it to SCOTUS, where Mickey and team will ream a whole bunch of a-holes in winning the case...it's gonna be a bumpy ride folks!!!

Trouble ahead folks, hope Dalton gets help quickly...

I have to wonder if there is anything left in Drew's trust fund...if it was looted, that's whole nother can 'o worms

As suspected the Step-bitch, which was/is much more than she seems, her reaction to seeing Drew’s father’s back was telling. One has to wonder if the destruction of the company is actually a programmed looting of assets to the benefit of her’s…. Needless to say, there will be some rough sledding and vituperative personal attacks from the “holier than thou” crowds…to me the key will be in the details..they will need to dig deep into past transactions, emails, and meeting notes…somewhere in there will be the silver bullet and hopefully a bucket of water to toss on the witch…. It is fantastic news about both becoming uncles!!

A sad state of affairs when folks can't be what they advertise themselves to be....

Thanks for this chapter, it is appreciated.... The best I can say about Cornwallis is he's a twit, dolt, and will fall short of the task at hand... I think George is correct in his observation of Talleyrand, commerce is his motivation.... Waiting eagerly for the meeting with Napoleon, watching Grainger keep his powder dry till the right moment will be fun to see.... Happy new year all!

What more needs to be said, a fitting tribute worthy of your time and attention...

A very fitting tribute, well done!!! To smooth roads and endless sunsets!

A who-dunnit that will keep you in suspense till the end, and then some!!!

There's the understatement of the new year... A few seconds after opening the email, he thought, ‘I should have stayed in bed’. Although his next thought was, ‘No, the body will just get colder, and since the email was addressed directly to me, I’d be on the case anyway.' Turns out it really just would have gotten warmer. Looking forward to further chapters as the killer is still out there....

Intriguing to say the least, a guilty man is found not guilty....quite the introduction...that it took the jury three days to render a decision was in his favor....

A sweet and tender story about picking up the pieces after the loss of a loved one, reminding us that those missed would want only the best for us!

Thanks for this reminder that dearly loved departed friends and lovers would want us to carry on, to treasure the memories without regrets.

A must read for any fan of CJ and his antics...very enjoyable to say the least!!

Wow...talk about hitting the proverbial nail on the head....well done!!!! Loved this!!!!

A well-crafted short story capturing the essence of the internal struggles we all deal with at one time or another. A wonderful tribute!

You have me hooked, like others have noted, this short story begs for more!!!

So much said in this poem, heartfelt images touching my heart!
