I enjoyed reading this, Cassie. Not sure I would have forgiven if I was Eli. And the bitch should be shot, even after what happened the sister resents the guys?
“I love this shit! I may just start wearing a brain bucket more often.” CJ momentarily squeezed the clutch lever with his left hand and turned the throttle twice with his right. The resulting VROOM, VROOM was music to his ears.
“Wanker!” Owen’s response was loud and clear through the helmet’s built-in speakers. “Why do you even have the GPS on the heads-up display? It’s not like we can get lost. US 1’s the only road to Key West.”
“Yeah, but this is too damn cool not to play with. It’
There is no heaven and there is no hell. There is no god and there is no devil. They are the creation of power hungry individuals seeking to dominate through fear.
I'm gonna have to read this a couple of times..

Even with a population supposedly more enlightened than the general public, GA members have varying opinions when it comes to firearms. Just as with the Bible, the US Constitution can be taken literally or interpreted in light of time passing. The pendulum of support for either side will continue to swing.
I agree! The way my brother and his wife raised their daughters has influenced how I had Cesar and Brett deal with CJ. Instead of sticking their head in the sand, they dealt with issues facing the girls in a realistic way. My brother punted on drugs; he asked me to talk my nieces on his behalf. It was most definitely not a 'You shall not' conversation, but an honest assessment of risks vs rewards.
I write popular fiction which hopefully entertains and helps readers forget about daily troubles for a little bit. Humor's always been part of my stories. Life's too short not to laugh as often as possible.
Sometimes, discretion is the best approach and ignorance is bliss. I'm sure the dads will eventually find out, but I don't see it happening anytime soon. The dads would probably trust Lucy and Ritchie's decision. Hell, when my oldest niece reached puberty, my sister-in-law told her if she got pregnant while still in school, she would drive the kid to the abortion clinic herself. That type of attitude influenced the events in the book.
My first visit to Washington DC was in 1975, the latest was in 2018. Through countless trips, I've seen physical changes and a marked increase in security personnel. The world adapts and moves forward but each terrorist attack robs us; not all changes are for the best.
I've done some traveling on my motorcycle over the past decade; many of the descriptions of places CJ visits are based on my experiences. Some are the result of research. The variety of landscapes in the US is amazing and few of us appreciate what our country offers. From South Carolina swamps to the New Mexico desert, to large urban centers, there's a multitude of sights to enjoy.
Although exaggerated for dramatic purposes, the woman's attitude is not unique. Please note she's probably not a rider herself but one of the many skanks who hand out at motorcycle gatherings trying to hook up with bikers.
Welcome to the club LOL
One reader told me about bragging to someone that she knew people heavily involved with the Human Rights Campaign; she was referring to CJ and his fathers.

I agree. Roberts is a little more realistic than Scalia was or Thomas is. Sooner or later, more liberal judges may be appointed. If the conservatives start overturning decisions, we could end up in a tit-for-tat and us Americans would be the ones suffering. CJ may hate me for this but a STRICT interpretation of the 2nd Amendment could decide militia does not refer to individuals.
Considering the number of women running for President, all the new laws will be a campaign issue. Although a large number of Americans are opposed to abortion, I think just as many or more would prefer the status quo.
Ritchie turns 18 and leaves for Colorado in the summer. See what I mentioned about CJ protecting his brother. The dads may never find out. I know the parents of the two guys I helped in a similar situation never did.
I think at one point I had CJ rail against the short-sightedness of politics and business. This is a perfect example. I suspect the idiot in the White House will express his support for those laws and that will be ammunition the opposition will use against him. The pendulum shall swing. It may not happen next year but at some point...
Am I being foolish thinking the Supreme Court will punt? Roberts could very well side with the liberals in this issue.
