Think it will be a very cold day in Hell nefor that happens. Going a tad scorched earth are we? As I said, cold day in a hot place.

All our love to her! And on a separate note, I was told Raven is visiting family in an area wifi is not reliable. He should be back soon.

I love your translation of Llanfair­pwllgwyngyll­gogery­chwyrn­drobwll­llan­tysilio­gogo­goch. Much more interesting than St Mary's church location!

I understood the back up as for audit turned detainment situations Vincent might run into as a rep for the EC in the future. With a flock of shadow made backups capable of being on sight before a call disconnects, a single auditor could handle tricky situations much more efficiently.

The last HoJo in NJ just closed recently.

What he said! I eventually scheduled myself 15 minutes every day in which to do absolutely nothing. No worrying allowed, no paying bills, nothing but sipping whatever drink I had.

It also cannot tell the difference between there, their, and they're. Isn't that a town in Wales? Nope, spelled it correctly. Anyone else connect that little voice saying do it with Kage? He seems to be "hatching" into that symbiotic relationship I mentioned fairly quickly. I thought it would take longer to develope.

One day at a time is all you can do. Been there done that. If you want to talk, or just vent, you know where my pm is.

Umm, cause that's a whole new set of rules of existence that @kboisdoesn't have time to write ATM. She is working full time and organizing a new house after all.

Did I lose a day?

At this rate we will hit 15 by my bedtime!

As your editor, I forbid you attempting to blow up my brain in this manor!

Do you people never sleep??? Checked the comments last thing before bed and woke to a page and a half !

But how long was Trever posing as Huntington? An hour? A day? The last 10 years? When was the last time someone actually saw/scented/had proof he was a lion? E could assume the shape of a lion too, but is not a lion shifter.

Ah, but did he speak to Huntinton, or Trevor? Or has Huntington been Trevor all along?

That depends on the number of years experience. I'm 21 with 41 yrs experience.

I am quite sure @kboishas an interesting twist to go along with the fact boss was informed of Kage's death, but not of his last words.

As I said last chapter, no body means no proof of death. Kage may not be corporeal any longer, but what made him "Kage" may very well be alive and well in E somewhere. Let's give him time to hatch so to speak. Calm. There is lots more story left I am sure. There are way too many threads sticking out all over the place. @kboisstill has a lot of knitting to do. I am not sure "coming back" is the right way to describe what I think happens. I am thinking a symbiotic existence where Kage eventually redevelops sentience and can talk to E, similar to how @astone2292's characters talk with their fuzzy halves.

Ok, after the reactions I got from my last comments on this story, I had decided to not comment any more, but with this one, I just gotta! I think Geemeedee has the ticket. The video had to have originated with Drew. The only other place it could have come from would be the boys having oral sex in public, and I cant picture Johnathan doing that. He damned near crawled out of his skin with Maddox in that secluded corner of the woods! We know that Johnathan was majorly picked on at the previous school, but we do not know if that video was made public at the time. Ms Fox has not said that one way or the other. All we know for sure about that previous series of events is Drew turned on him, and the twits picked up the thread to make Johnathan miserable. Therefor, the video made it into Express hands via someone who has contact with Drew in some way. Sibling, cousin, bestie, someone who spotted Johnathan and recognized him. The hooded one is probably the culprit, since they have gone un identified. Spike is right too, this one has now crossed the line and is subject to prosecution. The problem with that is it would take the stress Johnathan is under and multiply it ten fold going thru the process of filing said charges. There is a reason so many abuse cases ( from slander up to and including rape) are not pursued. A lot of victims just cannot face the attitudes they are confronted with in the process. Not only would he need to explain every minute of his past to Maddox, who may not react very well considering how he reacted to a completely untrue accusation, but would face having to do the same with complete strangers at the local PD Precinct to file charges, some of whom will at best have little to no sympathy for his predicament and at worst outright not believe him.

I think this chapter got the widest array of reaction emogies. Everything but a 😄

That's cause we don't believe she really killed him off. Now, if we SEE his body in a casket at a funeral... But even that is not a sure thing considering she IS writing about the super natural...

Ok, we know @kbois is an incurable romantic so this can't be the end of Kage. She has however left us with a mile long list of questions to chew on till she decides to provide a few answers. Who is this Trevor person? Does boss man know? Is he Huntinton? If not, what has he done with Huntington, and how long ago? What can be done for Kage? Can E manage to do what is needed? How can the Sentinals help? They are too far away to get to CA. fast enough. Can they talk E thru what needs doing over the phone? I could go on for days! Don't order any for me...I am fully stocked. Just need to break out my whett stone. The saving grace here is @kbois doesn't start posting till the story is finished. If she is going to leave us hang while working on a tangential story line she has ALREADY DONE IT! Chris can't influence it by giving her bright ideas.

Six dear. Eastern, central, mountain, pacific, Alaskan, and Hawaii Glad I'm not the only geek with this piece of trivia. Yup!

I am thinking any help from daddy dearest would come with a LOT of strings. Having gone to read the conversation again, it seems that even Thanksgiving dinner had strings. He may not have wanted to shut Johnathan out, but he didn't welcome him with open arms either.
