    Yeah, but will Yevgeny stay down or does he have another card to play? Northman's already been rebuked and the frequency of the slapping may accelerate. Somebody needs to tell him no matter how high he may think of himself, he's nothing but an insignificant gnat.

    I think the chapter when CJ and Austin get in that shootout with the narcos was a bit more exciting. But I'm glad you liked this one. You definitely calmed my jitters,

    Yes. I firmly believe under the right circumstances, CJ's capable of violence and even taking someone out. And because he didn't figure that out, the Russian's overconfidence was his undoing. A determined CJ can make things happen. I keep trying to imagine Yevgeny in five years and what comes to mind is him, home on the range, sitting by a campfire. He's probably waiting sor a victim to shoot or something.

    @scrubber6620 Thank you. This was a difficult chapter to write from a technical point of view. I wanted to convey a high-class evening full of beautiful people, vodka and caviar, while something dark brewed underneath. I could see someone thinking CJ and Owen are players. CJ in particular's a flirt, someone not used to his ways could think there's more there than innocent BS. CJ might not be a trained killer, but he's not defenseless. I'm certain he's been more cognizant of his surrounding when entering a room and assesing any potential threats. He could kill someone if that person threatened him or more so his family. Yevgeny was sloppy and CJ has been lucky. Let's see how long that lasts.

    @dughlas I though of you yesterday. Twice! Once while planning a couple of weddings and trying to decide if kilts would be involved in one of them. I think the bride's going to insist on trousers. The other one was when trying to recall the ages of Archie and Llibet. Googled it and was happy to note Archie's a year older than Liebe (same age as Carolina and Fabricio) and Lili's a year younger. I think they could be friends.

    Ah, yes, Liebe. Had she not been in the picture, I think CJ would have been less pissed off. Owen too! Thankfully, their building has a doorman and strangers are not allowed to the apartment floors without prior notification. She should be okay with the nanny.

    @Clancy59 I introduced CJ when he was 15 and at the time this chapter takes place, he's about to turn 24. I hope I have kept his basic personality traits but aged him appropriately. I would not expect someone in their mid twenties to act the same as a teen. Thanks for noticing his growth. Although we'll hear what motivated Domogarov to target CJ eventually, maybe he considered him just another rich kid more concerned with playing a part than taking real action. His mistake.

    We'll find out after we spend a little time skiing in Colorado. Russian intelligence often has a bigger say in what happens than their ambassadors. Will the intelligence service protect Domogarov, or will the ambassador extract payment for being embarrassed by a lowly American, visa clerk?

    So I'm not the only one who gets hot over a handsome, formally attired, man pushing his weight around? It'll be interesting to see how the relationship between the Russian ambassador and his top spy works after the evening events.

    Considering their time in California will be limited, I think they can get away with playing as guests of friends. They have Miles, the attorney, in LA and Purple Flame Winery owners in Napa. There's a house purchase mentioned in one of the Christmas 2021 chapters.

    Perfect! You bring up two items important to CJ's growth. I showed him angering quickly and lashing out, and dismissing golf when his parents, grandfather, and husband played while in Miami. As I've aged him, I wanted to show him still being vicious when attacked but in a thought out way instead of an instant reaction. Those are the dangerous people. As for golf, when I had him dismiss the game, I knew he'd eventually take it up for exactly the same reason you mention. He won't be on the links as often as the Orange Menace, but I'm curretly trying to decide which country club he'll be joining.

    CJ? Vindictive? Now what could make you say that? LOL Yeah, you piss him off, you better be ready for the consequences.

    You're so right. I've never thought of CJ as being the type to turn the other cheek, and this proves it. He might not be as quick to anger these days, but watch out if he gets there.

    LOL I should have made CJ a spy instead of a diplomat. Then again, maybe he can wear two hats from now on.

    Maybe CJ can apply for a position? Diplomatic Security Services

    Yes he does. He might have a lot of support, but when it comes to the actual risk, it's all him. Talk about walking into the cave and poking the bear. What comes next? Retaliation or surrender?

    Karma can pack a punch! Yevgeny should reconsider his interest in our young diplomat.

    LMAO Northman makes a brief appearance in the next chapter, but CJ and Owen are more concerned with getting on a plane and hitting the slopes in Vail. But both he and the Russian will be back.

    Yeah, Domogarov seemed a little sloppy again. He underestimated CJ when he bugged their apartment and by trying to use sex to compromise him. Not sure how much more of this CJ can take before he becomes violent. Oh, wait, he may already have done it! Baldwin, Ford, Pine, Krasinski, Abello... will the real Jack Ryan please stand up? Thanks, Doug.

    LMAO Of course, now the question's whether CJ hurt the Ruskie for real or was he joking?

    Thanks, Jose. This was a fun chapter to write. I was, however, scared I might not have gotten the pacing right. One of my betas assured me it was a nice buildup.

    I had trouble loading the chapter this morning. I had to delete it and re post it twice. Did I leave something behind? Word count seems about right.
