After the past four, five books... where Will's gone to the rescue, it is nice to have him as the target for a change.

Morning all

Chapter Four WORLD END: T-minus 173 days, 13 hours, and 3 minutes. PMO, Parliament Hill, Ottawa Ontario The polished mahogany door of the Prime Minister's Office, a place of immense power and quiet deliberation, swung open, and Will Carter, Minister of Foreign Affairs, stepped inside. The room was bathed in the soft, diffused light of a grey Ottawa afternoon, the rain still a relentless drumming against the windows. The air, thick with the scent of old paper and fresh coffee, wa

Next chapter

I have just discovered my new Won't sit down and be quite character from this book. Kyle. Kyle is... amusing. You won't see him till chapter 10, but Kyle, poor poor Kyle

I kinda like it

Interesting question. One worth exploring. There is the danger of Paradox as we have seen. And the Shattered Citadel is shattered for a reason. The question becomes, what city is it, when was it shattered, and how

There's a very good reason the Sylerikon ban Meanwhiles. Once they find out what Dottie and the Americans have been doing to "Cheat" the system, there's going to be a reckoning

I mean yeah, pretty much

Dunno, are you enjoying it? I think that's the most important part

Five The steakhouse was everything a good steakhouse should be: low-lit, with a rich, smoky scent of grilled meat and a quiet hum of conversation that felt more like a physical presence than a sound. The clink of cutlery against porcelain and the soft murmur of patrons created a soothing backdrop, a stark contrast to the volatile emotions they had just endured in the car. Steve walked through the heavy oak door with an easy confidence that seemed out of place with the terrified boy Ken

Breach was 2015, Order is 2019 I think you're staring to see what the countdown timer means.

Well you have the members of Andrew's team. Now you guys can start figuring out who the mole might be.

Chapter cohesion was a little rough with this one. So thanks for bearing with it, I might give it a once over a little later just to smooth it. Thanks for reading... shows I need more coffee today

WORLD END: T-minus 173 days, 15 hours, and 46 minutes. CSIS Headquarters, Ogilvie Road, Ottawa Ontario The digital clock on the wall of the CSIS command center glowed with a harsh, unblinking red. Its numbers, ticking with an agonizing slowness, seemed to mock the palpable tension that filled the air. The room, a sterile box of grey metal and humming electronics, was a study in stillness. The hum of the computers, the faint drone of the air conditioning, and the rhythmic drip of

Had to give you a reason to like him. Now to make you love him, and them.

Oh and they cannot incorporate, so it's a matter of direct ownership only.

Not in Canada. In Canada there is NO age requirement for owning a business of any kind. However there are limitations on contracts, but only on the assumed part by the person doing business with the minor. The minor is protected and as such can break any contract as needed with zero legal requirements or accountability. Most banks will not open a business account to a minor, HOWEVER there are some that can, have and do. Canada has a large cottage industry of painting businesses run and owned by kids. They are responsible for Taxes, but as such as long as those taxes are paid and their books are managed properly, there is no problem. The government has a list of Accountants specialized in this. The only problem occurs with employees and with suppliers. Suppliers can be handled with cash up front purchases. And Employees can be managed with sub-contracts with business managers. OR through a service like KPMG or like payroll service. As long as they are paid up front, there is no issue. Structured by someone with a keen knowledge of the ins and outs of this, it's entirely plausible for Steve and Lydia to own the businesses, they just can't manage them directly.

you'll have to find out what kind of business owner he is next chapter... at Steve's Steak House and rodeo fun times. (Rodeo fun times should be separate from steak eating... Steve's Steak House accepts no responsibility for choking hazards...)

So #teamkenny or #teamSteve?
