Glad to see there is some improvement, don't do anything to jeopardize or set yourself back.. While this was a short chapter there was just soooo much to take in...and I can't disagree with any of the comments... While the children can't be criminally charged due to age, their parents are culpable and they need to pay!!! Then the following has me stunned along with the admission of previous instances of bullying were/went ignored...I mean...WTF!!!! “What the fuck was the playground monitor doing?” Diego demanded. “We're still reviewing the camera footage, Mr. Padilla, but from the looks of things, she was on her phone the entire time. The incident took place at the far end of the ball field, and her view was partially obscured by the playground equipment. At this point, she's not a person of interest.” Bryan needs to sit back and learn the lesson that vengeance is a dish best served cold, and can take many forms...

But are they out of the woods yet??? The deed isn't done....

Their lack of prior, proper planning looks to have paid off, to the detriment of Stawren...

Amen brother, my sentiments exactly...we are getting to the point where our hapless adventurers exist simply for the purposes of seeing just how many impossible situations they can get themselves into and out of...it is kind of repetitive...at some point they have to take it to the bad guys responsible for the deaths of hundreds of billions...

@Anton_Clocheand @Summerabbacat I would suspect Phil has his finances well in order, the papers Phil had to sign were related to his care in the rehab facility. Any expenses and beyond that for his care must run thru his accountant. Case in point...When my father became incapacitated due to his dementia along with the need to administer medications, my health care proxy was no longer valid. In order to continue overseeing his care, I had to file what was called a Rogers Guardianship go to court to be able to do so. It was a very strict process in the fact I had to hire not only an attorney to represent me, but I also had to hire an attorney to represent my father. More to the point, I could have no contact with the attorney representing my father but turn over all financial records and an inventory of any appreciable assets. All expenses and assets concerning and belonging to my father were gone over with a fine-tooth comb, any future expenses were subject to the same scrutiny. While elder fraud happens in this day and age, the courts and legal system take a dim view when caught. What works for Phil is that someone else, his accountant, has a finger on what happens with his funds and assets on a daily basis. I have to believe any deviation or sudden change would be noticed and alarm bells rung.

I have to give kudos to Nona...to me was accepting for the most part, of Dan's relationship with Vaughn, which has to be light years in an attitude change from when she was but a younger...She can accept them living together, and I have to believe she quite can't shake the trope that children should be involved... To me she represents a see change in adjusting to the world that now exists...she's almost there...give her time...

Will Yidan work with Simon towards the destruction of Belothemid??? We've truly gone down the rabbit hole...

It is good to see that Phil's accounts haven't been messed with, it is comforting to know that he has an accountant looking after his assets!! Collin and Jason will be just fine if they simply talk to each other, not at each other... Another note is that Jason seems to think Phill may be back on his feet and moving around...this is great progress!!!

After the death of his father a young man finds his relationship with his mother, through no fault of his own, is destroyed, as impossible standards to measure up just keep on coming. Not being allowed the slightest of mistakes, continuing to live at home is no longer possible. Our protagonist finds refuge with his uncle and thinks a fresh start is just what he needs. Little does he know the turn of events that rise up to challenge him and his core beliefs. Take the time to read the first chapter, like many others, you will find it nearly impossible to put down!!

Thanks Al for a fantastic story, it is appreciated!! There are so many avenues yet to be fully explored I can't wait for the sequel!!! Does Jordan Turner get taken down a peg or 14??? How long will the idiots be incarcerated for??? Will Pete finally find a deserving boyfriend??? Will Uncle George (aka Dad) hook up with Officer Farley and play footsie under the sheets??? One avenue of concern is Pete's mother and her brothers, commonly known as the Lost tribe of the Neanderthals', reacting to the extensive publicity...are they in or out of the picture in the sequel...what fun it could be seeing them getting a just deserved comeuppance... Just when will the sequel be posted said the...

I'm guessing Spanglish.....or a variation of Fuddleish...

I'm not sure the boys are doing the right thing...thank goodness there will be 5 policemen there at the Peter Pan...

At what cost or danger will the "cure' for Natthan come???

I am sure Oscar's friends will be delighted to see the entire place in the daylight...

Just like a walk in the park, what could possibly go wrong...or right!!!

I'm not sure that they described the Godstrolls correctly, they are vermin who exist only to destroy other sentient lives....indiscriminately...

As with others, I agree Rocky is in for a rocky start in the 8th grade if he runs his mouth before thinking...should be fun to observe... Here's hoping the customer that was shot survives, much depends on how close, the caliber of the weapon and a few other details. That we don't have sensible gun laws, registration, insurance for those who carry is a detriment and a stain on our society. I have no truck with those who use for sport or hunting, but the yahoos who feel the need to carry when it isn't needed or necessary. Every time I see on the news another "Ken or Karen" losing their cool, acting like the fuckwads they truly are, I say a little prayer of thanks that they weren't carrying...I fear the day when everyone driving is carrying... In Texas, the governor just pardoned a man for murder, who "thought' he was in danger form another idiot who was carrying a rifle pointed to the ground... Then there are those politicians on one side, who rail about the filth coming across the border and how they are raping our mothers and daughters along with thieving and destroying our society...yet when the other political party came up with an immigration program compromise matching the other parties demands they did nothing...just like 2018 when that political party controlled both houses and the presidency!!! Left truly unsaid is the fact that the overwhelming damage caused by gun violence is a domestic issue... Not that I have any strong feelings....and as to the cliffhanger, time for...

Tomato...TOMato Potato PoTAto I don't give a fig, just get me another chapter, dang it!!! Anyone need help pahking da caH????

Is this better???

Pevsner's works originally were a four-volume set covering England, Scotland' Wales, and Ireland, eventually the series grew to another thirty-two books. The work continued after his death and thru today. One interesting tidbit, he was a staunch supporter of Hitler and Gobbles policies....tho later came to renounce those policies... Nikolaus Pevsner - Wikipedia Pevsner was "more German than the Germans" to the extent that he supported "Goebbels in his drive for 'pure' non-decadent German art".[7] He was reported as saying of the Nazis (in 1933): "I want this movement to succeed. There is no alternative but chaos... There are things worse than Hitlerism."[2] Pevsner's political leanings following Hitler's appointment as Chancellor in January 1933 are clearly revealed in several extracts from his diaries and letters that Suzie Harries includes in her 2011 book Nikolaus Pevsner: The Life. For example, the following observation is made by Pevsner on the boat to Dover in October 1933: "The second-class is almost entirely occupied by non-Aryans. Dreadful, dreadful – to think that's where I belong."[8] Nonetheless, he was included in the Nazi Black Book as someone hostile to the Hitler regime.

Let's hope all made it to safety....

Way too much speculation here, we need another chapter ASAP damn it!!!

Well...that's a fine mess to find themselves in....

And now the red herrings are beginning to crop up....
