    You've been a great help, Jose. Funny how the next multi-chapter CJ story also takes place in a Spanish-speaking country.

    When we next read about CJ, Owen, and Liebe together it'll be when they spend a few days in Key West with Ritch. Now that the cat's out of the bag about the kidnapping, I can significantly expand what I wrote in Cadet.

    CJ's resignation's been ignored and he's still a State Department employee. I'm looking forward to writing his interview at State once he's back in DC.

    There's definitely more to the series, but before I return to CJ, Owen, and Liebe, I'll be sharing a couple of short stories in The Squad+ one. I'm pretty sure next time we see those three they'll be in Florida and Ritch will be with them.

    Thank you, sir. Funny how at the beginning of the series it was all about CJ. He's still character #1 but Owen became #1a once he joined the family, and Liebe #1ab at birth. I'm glad readers acknowledge how important those two are to the series.

    No, no, no! I was simply doing a couple of friends a favor. A long time ago, I spent the night at someone's house in McCallen, Texas. I was with a cousin who wouldn't smoke pot, but I may have taken 1 or 10 hits when our host rolled a fat one. I turned down his offer to become a distributor in South Florida. LOL

    You better respect me in the morning...

    Thank you, Tony. At times I wish I'd started writing earlier. However, my work's colored by personal experiences so the stories would have probably been different. It's taken me a while to figure out how much to include in each chapter/story, but I think I'm getting close to the right balance. Let's hope future stories are even better.

    Thanks, Geoff. It's great to see you comment here! As with the end of most chapters, I try to find natural break point to stop. This story's all about their time in Mexico, and I think I milked as much as i could out of it. They'll be back in Washington soon, and that opens all new events to chronicle.

    Thank you! I'll have a little something to share in a couple of weeks.

    Look at my previous comment about his future. I think I'll exile him to the Northwest Territories. He can freeze his behind off.
  12. Carlos Hazday
    When you do, let me know what you liked best and least. I'm always curious about what strikes readers' fancy.
  13. Carlos Hazday
    Thanks, Terry. I had to get this story out because readers made such a big deal out of a reporter's line about Mexico. I was honestly surprised it created such a stir. Now that the pressure's off, I can jump back and forth in time again.

    Nope, I'm still in Wilton Manors. An earlier version of the chapter had CJ correcting Owen about where I lived. I simplified the scene since to most people there are only two cities in South Florida, Miami and Fort Lauderdale. They forget the two counties have over 60 municipalities.

    Let's hope I'm alive long enough to write about it!

    Thank you, my friend.

    CJ, Brett, and Cesar met me early on while we were all riding the Skyline Drive, we went riding together in South Florida, and I was at CJ and Owen's wedding. I bet when I'm frail and in a wheelchair, CJ will still keep in touch.
  18. Carlos Hazday
    Yep, I was right. Y'all a bunch of blood-thirsty readers. Glad you enjoyed this installment, and I'll see what I can do about Northman. Maybe the US should open a consulate in Yellowknife and post him there.
  19. Carlos Hazday
    Thanks, Jose. And thanks again for beta reading that other story. I'm surprised at the blood lust over Northman. I mean, the man's an obnoxious jerk, but he probably doesn't deserve all the abuse. LOL Anyway, CJ will work for the State Department twice more; maybe we'll run into him again. I mean, I kept Fernando Llorosa around when Malibu ended just so I could give CJ a go at him. I'm enjoying recycling idiots.

    Thanks, Chris. And thanks for the review. Twenty years later, Margaret Cox will be in her sixties. All that experience better be put to good use by President Abello.
  21. Carlos Hazday
    Me a sap? Excuse me, but who was sobbing? LMAO Glad you enjoyed it, my friend.
  22. Carlos Hazday
    It's up, it's up. But I'm going back down to sleep for another half hour. LOL
  23. Carlos Hazday
    Yeah... I guess...

    Sometimes, the aperture's so small, no matter how hard you push, the button won't go in...
  25. Carlos Hazday
    He's a pain in the butt. But he's lovable anyway. I really miss his stories, and unless he gives us something to read soon, I may have CJ run him over when he and Owen go to Michigan for a wedding.
