I spent some serious time with Chip. He, and the rest of CJ's fathers' friends, will influence how CJ sees the world and how he handles his own relationships.
Although some readers objected to the constant banter, it's a fixture in the series. Based mostly on how I interacted with my brothers and cousins and motorcycle club members.
Thanks. Some of it was from memory based on my time at GU and multiple visits to the city for work (EY did tax training in DC) Having a CPA as a father should help CJ when it comes to finances. Right now, he's still in shock. But he'll always be quick to recover.
Brett's parking was such a throwaway scene but it did help define him: when in doubt, take over.
There are about half a dozen bingers of the series right now and I keep rediscovering little gems when I reply to comments. Got a new one who started Summer this week so I'm reliving the early years. LOL
Stick with it and I'm certain you WILL enjoy. Some parents should be shot on sight. Just read something about a couple arrested when their 7 filthy kids were found living with caged rats, reptiles, and other animals. Some had to have their heads shaved because their hair was so matted, and none had ever gone to school.

I have no idea how I missed your comments. I'm happy with how this turned out considering it started as a little prompt response, evolving into more once I folded Tony (and Colt) into the CJ series.
Wingnut's an old nickname for airmen the way jarhead is for Marines. His parents' death was my way of freeing Ritchie from captivity so he and CJ could be together.
Glad you agreed. They were meant to die from the moment I conceived them, but we have readers who'd prefer they lived and suffered. Sometimes I can't be bothered. LOL
This is one of those stories I wrote when my outrage influenced my writing. Trump's little stunt showed him to be a dictator wannabe even before the 2020 election and his attempts to overturn the results.
At last! I didn't bring WOOF, Sean, or my Ethan up waiting to see who'd recognize them. CJ & Co have cameos in several stories, and Wolf's one of the authors I trust with my characters. I love crossovers too!
And while on the subject, CJ himself is slated for an appearance in another story. It should post tomorrow. @Libby Drew has a great Premium story set a few years in the future in Washington, D.C. Wanna guess who the city's mayor is at the time?
This was one of my favorite stories to write. I kept the whole thing tight and it gave me a chance to introduce some great characters who populate future installments. Glad you liked it, Albert.
