You always hurt the one you love the most... The weight of despair upon Nathan lightened for the moment, and he smiled inwardly at his luck to have Brohm by his side. Knowing their time together was coming to an end, however, renewed the anguish within him. He considered telling Brohm what the doctor had revealed, but to what end? Once again, Nathan found himself torn between the truth and their happiness. The knowledge that he would abandon Brohm broke his heart. Why sully their short time left together? Nathan cared so deeply for him that the mere thought of hurting him stayed his tongue. He contemplated had their roles been reversed, would he be angry at Brohm for not revealing such a terrible truth? It was a pointless question. Without a doubt, he would’ve felt betrayed to not be told, but that didn’t change his mind. Even though it was the wrong choice for Nathan to make, he decided Brohm’s happiness overruled common sense. He blindly reached out and took the big man’s hand. It was sweaty from the heat, but Nathan didn’t care.

From the last chapter I had the following thought... Many undertones in this chapter and several revolving around Suki and Francis Heyward, then there was the 'Tax Scandal' revolving around the disposition of paintings...dodgy wealthy folks... And I feel that @CincyKris just might have picked up the subplot(s)..... And as @Cane23 noted... This has left me wondering if the "art critic for hire" just might find himself being asked to vet/verify the provenance of 'suspect' art works/forgeries... Is Paola T a money laundering front??? And I think just for the heck of it the following should be checked out/investigated...🫢 There was something suggestive about Ercole’s manner, certainly he was charming, and interested, but something more? Was his legs-wide-apart stance when sitting just the normal straight-boy stance or was he showing of a neat package. He noticed me noticing, and he smiled,

What a fantastic tribute to one of the best to ever grace these pages. Please take the time to read this, it is so well done.

I agree with all the comments above, sadly I came to know Carlos' stories shortly before he passed on. What you have done is a fantastic tribute and it is appreciated. While I don't know Carlos as many others do, I get the sense that he would be appreciative if you were to continue this. Whether you choose to or not, please know it stands on its own very well. Thank you for this!

Looking forward to see how this develops!!

Sounds like they are ready for the tasks ahead This was more than just a pack; it was a family, bound not just by destiny but by choice and by the battles we had faced together. We were ready for the trials ahead. Then there's this... The significance of the number 3 changes as the dimensionality of the space increases, from simply representing a position on a line to being part of a complex coordinate in higher-dimensional spaces. Ginnungagap and Ginnregin are both nothing as well as everything. Our limited perception of reality with seemingly free movement in 3 dimensions and a rather limited forward movement in the 4th dimension is not all there is. Maybe we misunderstand “The Triad”. Much of my story—to the dismay and confusion of readers at times—is built on false premises. Oh, what a long, strange trip it's been/gonna be...

Hummm...Tygo could be thinking about anything... Better yet, Tygo would be the perfect candidate to finish off Abernathy....

Sounds like leasing agent was asleep at the wheel so to speak!! Hope her firm has insurance!!!

Was this after we all heard the phrase..."Let there be light?"..."Or on the seventh day...another two chapters cleared editing?" Oh look @weinerdog and @kbois the first reader comment on page 3!!!! Time for some fireworks!!!

Diego should/will realize that Attorney Clark will do his best to rattle him, Billy will have his back when the questioning gets out of line, at the moment I am mor interested as to who the last witness is...one hopes it is...

Oh my, there were some comments about the chapter despite the snarkfest...and 20 more chapters to endure I mean enjoy!!!

Pong anyone???

Can't add anything to the comments above other than to say I clicked on the link you provided and was stunned, and in a good/bad way... It is incredible that this company, Unlimited Tomorrow has come out with an inexpensive and elegant answer to the hideous costs of other companies' products, and equally stunning is the failure of insurance companies to cove r basic needs, as it would affect the bottom line... Kudos to you for a great chapter...well done sir!!!

Will Abernathy and Croosen work against each other or with each other? They has left a trail of sorts...

And here's the proof!!!

Like all the others we await here with bated breath and caseloads of impatience...I have on good authority, (CIA, MI5, and the SVR) that the following Foto is of your desk...may suggest a match or one of those firms that deal with organizing your stuff??? Tell me please that isn't a Fisher Price 186 you are using for a PC??? Thanks, your hard work is appreciated...

So frigging true...this is exactly why they should have gone to the police after visiting the psychiatrist.... What we do know is the father is from the shallow end of the gene pool...Hopefully at the end of all this Bruce gets help as well...

Well...little does Abernathy know there are two groups out looking for him, whatever he has planned will cause attention and hopefully lead to his eventual demise...

Can't add anything different from the comments above, one thing that did stick out was the upcoming talk Keith has been asked to give. I wonder if Isobel has arraigned this presentation as a means of possibly raising funds for the restoration...

I may have to rethink, it seems nearly everything down under wants to eat or kill you... Massive 18-Foot Crocodile Captured in Australian Outback: Largest in Decades (msn.com)

Will need fair warning as I will have to book a flight from the far side of the world!! Loved this chapter as the box of Kleenex will attest to!!! May any bumps in the road be minor and I like my steak medium rare!~!!

It will be interesting to see how all this works out when Simon is finished traveling the ethereal plane and his spirit returns to his body...

The salient question remains, can Abernathy be stopped and one other thought, what happened to the photonova glands???

I don't for a moment trust Rabiah...she has her own agenda....as evidenced by the following... She looked up again, hoping to catch another glimpse of Theodrik in the sky. “Truer words were never spoken. Oh, but wasn’t it magnificent? Gods, to have such a being at my disposal.” “It’s not a pet,” Brohm chided. “And I don’t care how friendly it seems. Reckon nobody can tell a daemon to do something it doesn’t wanna.” Nathan recalled the alchemist and how he’d somehow managed to turn the daemon into Lord Helmsley’s slave. He pondered if Rabiah had the same knowledge. She was dangerous in her own way, of that he had no doubt. It didn’t mean she couldn’t be trusted, but he had to remain vigilant.

Your craft in this tale is more than good enough to keep readers coming back and thanks for your response!!
