The very idea he would like to extend his time in the pokey, pushed him to the very forefront of all the idiots to grace these pages...

In many ways, this was a sad chapter, one can only imagine the abuse Joseph was subjected to, with love, patience, and therapy one hopes he comes out healed...

Why do I get the feeling this isn't going to end well...for anybody....

I am going out on a limb here, up to this point Fred has to not only be the dumbest protagonist in the pantheon of leading characters here at Gay Authors, but a shoo-in for top spot this year for the Darwin Awards... Cheese and crackers folks...I'd be wielding a sword called Restitution and smiting all the filthy, unwashed A-Holes and starting the process of rebuilding my life. Next in the pantheon of blooming idiots has to be the lawyer, was any attempt made to settle Fred's affairs before going into the pokey??? I've seen 7-watt lightbulbs shine brighter.... If, and this is a stretch, Fred gets his shite together, how bout seeing what could be done for Mo??? I seriously doubt much but...it is worth a shot... Fred is so frigging clueless, he couldn't get hit by lightning wearing a tinfoil suit flying ten of Ben Franklin's kites during a massive, once in a millennium thunderstorm... Not that I have any strong opinions or anything, while reserving the right to change my mind... Darwin Awards: Evolution In Action Then there's this...

Thank for taking the time to entertain us with this...it is appreciated!!

I am reminded of the book/movie called "All Quiet On The Western Front"...

Loved this chapter, did anyone get a picture of Joseph and the collateral damage???

The two of them need to remember it is early days for the both of them and leave all the other perambulations, combinations, and permutation's for sometime in the distant future....

Humm, some good news even with a delay, Fred will need to toe the line as it were for a three months, keeping his nose clean... The fact that Bully's DNA was found in two locations is good news...If I was the attorney for Fred, I'd be pushing for bail or a minimum-security facility...Quite frankly Bully's DNA follows under the following definition from the fount of all knowledge worth knowing...Wikipedia... Exculpatory evidence is evidence favorable to the defendant in a criminal trial that exonerates or tends to exonerate the defendant of guilt.[1] It is the opposite of inculpatory evidence, which tends to present guilt.

Well now...time for another shower.... Can't disagree with any of the comments above and need to note the scene in the bedroom when Liam steps out of the shower and 'displays' himself for Mike...to me it is obvious he want's what happened at the end of the night, despite his protestations about returning the handjob......

Not to be a nudge but...you've already answered your own question in past previous stories....

They are far from being safe, quite the contrary as Brohn is known to the Lord's men and there has to be some record of where he came from when he joined up. That the soldiers were in the vicinity of his father's farm, a wise man should be able to put 2 and 2 together and scope out the farm... While the inside of the farmhouse showed it has been unoccupied, the farm itself, as mentioned does not show years of neglect, this could be worrisome, but then again possibly helpful?

So glad to see the "paperwork" will be ready soon...Manny was quite the Mensch, an admirable benefactor to those who needed the help he could provide, and that they carry on his legacy speaks volumes towards his character... I would love some of the details to the following, but will remain satisfied that that 'wrong' has been righted... “This is for Manny. It is repaying a debt, and no fee is payable. And I have some good news for you. The people who were meant to look after Joseph have been tracked down, and all of the missing funds have been replaced and are back in the bank.” With that news, John terminated the call.

What will happen when Day finds/discovers Liam's past film work, and one has to wonder if he will end up at school with the others....

I see many changes, for the good, coming up. I would think if the adjoining property had been vacant for a year or more , the owner(s) would have motivation to sell, especially if there hadn't any previous offers...

I seem to recall no plan of battle survives first contact with the enemy, let's hope it is not the case here...

I am leery that things are going too smoothly...What's the witch next door up to???

I've often thought and have contended in prior comments, that Owain and Mhairi's father may have sought exculpation for the sins of the "warmonger' father by giving/tithing to that so-called church...time will tell as more becomes known...Somewhere there has to be an accounting of the funds as they sat as investments and so noted by the executors over time. Legal fees for this would require such an action....

I was 13, he was 14 and it was an eye opener to say the least. He later found girls and his brother a year younger found me. Lasted through High School...such good times...

With this chapter we see the cultural differences that are coming into play regarding duties and expectations. Given Joseph's age and circumstances, we can see how this colors expectations. Fortunately Joseph is of an age where learning new things will become second nature... There are bound to be a few, humorous bumps on the road to a fuller understanding!!!

It seems that (as @Summerabbacat pointed out, that Joe's father Nathan is in running for hypocritical, two-faced jerk of the year... Thankfully Joe is more in tune with his father's ways. I have to ask, just where does Nathan get off pushing doctrine at Joe, considering his know proclivities towards under-age girls??? Quite frankly, I am surprised that legal action has not been instigated, more to the point...should there not have been some sort of reckoning with the Church of the Brethren about his wayward ways...facing expulsion for not keeping the offending member in his pants behind the zipper...I mean, someone has to know outside the family, why Nathan is about to become single!!! This leads me to wonder just how 'pure' the new pastor is??? Joe's interest in his family history is encouraging, like everyone else here, I am waiting to see more about this and a better accounting of where the family funds disappeared to... Good to see Mhairi enjoying herself...she deserves a bit downtime...

I keep thinking they will see Monty Hall next to Door Number One...

Have you been imbibing with @Ivor Slipper?????

I understand, but is such a critical point in the story, the why of it would have been instructive...The deed is done regardless...

I am still interested in knowing more about the person who had the Lord's son killed...sounds to me like there may be power politics behind killing the young man, does the Lord have other children or is he childless??
