    One drawback to our civil servant system is some people skate by under the afforded protections. It's tough to fire someone like that. Although a good way of keeping politics out of regular government operations, it's far from perfect. Not sure if Northman will ever cross the line and do anything that would get his ass fired. All we can do is wait and hope.

    Glad I could provide some relief. SO far, nobody has stood up to Northman, but I think that may change sooner than later.

    Me too. But neither you nor I have plans to run for office. CJ's sufficiently aware he has to keep his nose clean as much as possible. We've already had someone as president who was a liar and a cheat; we don't need another one. Even though CJ has mentioned he agrees with a few policy decisions, he doesn't want to turn into another jerk.

    Although I no longer like writing detailed sex scenes, I try to show the guys do go at it regularly. The fact they've known each other for so long helps. They may be married but first and foremost they're friends. Owen serves as a calming influence on his aggressive husband too.

    The ambassador likes him because he helps the embassy's image. Intelligence officers are apparently interested in working with him. Military personnel are now firmly in his corner. If there's a confrontation, Northman's going to lose.

    CJ's a people person if there was ever one. I've tried to show him making friends easily from the start. Those people he meets and charms will be a great resource once he's appointed somewhere else or runs for office.

    I believe jealousy motivates Northman. Had he been at the cocktail party, CJ and Owen's popularity could have made him more envious.

    The old CJ might have already beaten the crap out of Northman. But I've been trying to show him changing his ways and being less confrontational and violent. Let's see how long he can control his temper.

    I should have had the ginger vet fly down for the screening. He could have beaten the crap out of the bad ginger so CJ wouldn't have to soil his hands. Although he now has enough brownie points to qualify for a get-out-of-jail-free card if he pushes Northman out a window.

    CJ's gregarious and outgoing, Northman reminds me of a constipated, miserable being. Sometimes, it's good to have allies when going into battle.

    On Monday, CJ arrived at the embassy a little earlier than usual. He wanted to prepare the contact report for the previous day and get his meeting with Jimmy Chen over with before Stephen Northman could complain too much. His luck faltered. He had just completed the paperwork, and sent Northman a message explaining he had a meeting first thing in the morning, when the man once again surprised him with a stealthy approach. “What’s the meeting about, Mr. Abelló?” Northman stood at the entran

    Since Spanish's my first language it still has influence on me. I sometimes write sentences with a weird structure because that was how I originally learned. Spanish grammar rules tend to be simpler and more consistent. Funny thing is though I'm fluent in both, I'm more comfortable speaking English.
  15. Carlos Hazday
    @kbois At least you have a good base. I went to school in Spanish through 9th grade. The differences are significant.

    Been there... Cia destroyed my comma use when she proofed one of my early stories. I was left scarred for life. Honestly, I deserved the harsh lesson and have hopefully improved. Having a more experienced author edit my stuff for about one million words helped. Thanks, Mann. There's hope for most of us.

    As with Pam in Ripper Christmas, you think too fast for my writing. BTW, check out AC's latest story/poem. You may recognize the theme as similar to one permeating this story.

    LMAO Smoke a doobie before you read those entries. You'll still be lost, but you won't care.

    Righteous anger, AC. Righteous anger that echoes mine. I'm not big on poetry, but I always look whenever Mr. Benus posts anything. I'm glad I did this morning. In a poem he reveals the same feelings I've tried to share in prose. I thought our country had moved on from this type of shenanigans, but alas I was mistaken. Coup attempts are only supposed to happen in banana republics, right? When did we become one?

    Excellent twist with the brother. I should have seen that one coming.

    You did object to his initial approach to Austin... let's see who the jarhead picks.
  24. Carlos Hazday
    I wonder if the word derives from the same root as gustoso in Spanish and gostoso in Portuguese...

    But, what about Calum? I mean... Obviously, Lincoln shows up again in future stories, but you'll be happy to know Austin's now in the outline for at least one or two scenes.
