Harley will be one of the primary supporting characters; he'll make repeated appearances. Hell, some readers are so infatuated with him, they keep clamoring for a Harley spinoff. Maybe one day.

@Bft If we stick Northman in the basement, we might not get to enjoy his stupidity! Alternatively, he could wander into the Marines training room by accident and never be heard from again.

Glad you enjoyed it. Readers who stop reading at the end of the chapter miss a lot by not looking at the comments. I thought it would be funny to have CJ and Owen give Ritch crap about his media star status. Particularly in light of what's happening once they return to Mexico. Stay tuned.

Politician? Hang on to that thought. LOL

Gotta balance high drama chapters with more relaxed ones. I don't think anyone dies while skiing, so the next two chapters will be similar to this one.

For someone who thinks so highly of himself, it must have been devastating to be dismissed so easily. I think I may have it happen again. It's fun to stomp on idiots.

Last time I re-used a section of a story, even after changing POV, someone complained. This time I started with the section from Cadet, broke it up, and added new content in between borrowed segments. What was but a part of one chapter in Cadet I expanded into 3 chapter here. Nobody should complain if I repeat myself a bit. The arrival in Denver I really liked before, so it's almost verbatim.

@dughlas A Mazda man! My Miata was named Blue. It was the 5th anniversary edition and the dark blue metallic paint had green undertones. It looked different depending on how the sun hit it.

Let him take his time. Most stories posted while still being written are riddled with errors. I can see posting while edits are still going on, but posting while still writing, I cured myself of that very fast.

It is HUGE for sure.

Ouch!

Six cars? You youngster!

You obviously want one. Flower would be a cute name for a cute car... Hey, honey, want to take Flower out for a ride?

I may have repeated myself without thinking about it. The next to last chapter of CDMX shows a bunch of people coming to CJ's aid. I know, I'm being mean. LOL

Thank you, @dughlas

I write a heck of a lot more in the chapter than Northman's opening outburst and that's who everyone concentrates on. You boys are out for blood!

I can dream...

Maybe I need to write a massacre in excruciating detail. That should keep you guys munching on the popcorn.

Using my best command voice: Names, model, and VIN number, maggot. Oops, sorry about the name calling; not cool in the new, nicer army. And you can ignore the VIN.

LMAO Duel at the Mexican Corral or UFC 350 - Ginger v Ginger Northman wouldn't have a leg to stand on.

Whenever I had CJ--and now Ritch--name an inanimate object, I could feel my editor roll his eyes in Michigan. It originally started with cars/motorcycles and that was based on most every member of my old motorcycle club naming their bikes. House naming tends to go hand-in-hand with palatial mansions, but as joke, I named my old house Altas Palmas because of all the thin, tall palms on the property. My best friend and her husband surprised me with a little bronze plaque engraved with the name and 1920 (the yer the house was built.) Haven't named another residence since, but I'm living vicariously through CJ and Ritch. My Jeep Wrangler goes by Cowboy. I may have to use the bit about taking vehicles in to the dealer and them knowing the names.

Laughing out loud for real. Maybe he's testing out aliases for when he has to hide and goes on the run. Once a certain flyboy and a legless Army vet, both adept at using firearms, learn how he's been treating CJ, his life will be worth crap.

OMG! You're advocating violent behavior for Owen and Liebe? How the heck did you get hold of my notes for future chapters/stories? I remember how shocked a few readers were when I had CJ beat the crap out of some people. I hope it solidified my assertion the series would not be like others preceding it, and CJ would not be the angst-ridden, insecure teen we're bombarded with in most stories.

He sulked at first then realized if Jimmy and the Ambassador were decrying his attitude, maybe it was time to turn the page. He found it blank. Seems after CJ gets done with him, he'll be nothing.

Hope the weekend's better!
