    Chapter 20

    Yes, he lost control there, Andrew's grief is very different to Will's. Will gains control from it, Andrew slips. But as Doc observed, Andrew is the weapon that Hale built for Abernathy to destroy Will, in the end that weapon destroyed Abernathy. It's also a clue to the conditioning that Hale was trying to build, the real reason for the supposed Aphasia, and the nature of what's been done to Andrew. I wasn't expecting someone to see right through it so fast, but @drpaladin is a perceptive old G.O.A.T.

    I mean Andrew's not completely unarmed. Just wondering how he smuggles it into the White House....

    Chapter 20

    Will just needs a chance to think, the moves he's played so far have been audacious, cunning, and pulled from seemingly nowhere (usually after long debates with old friends of mine, lots of Baileys in my coffee and a decided amount of 'What would I do if I were him' ) I have a gambit left, And two days to pull it off. It required rewriting much of the ending of the book... that's THREE different endings for this thing so far... about 10000 words of cut chapters, and editing. I'll post some favourites at another point, as they just no longer fit the narrative, but are too good to just throw away. I am also realizing that the Coyote books are definitely separate now, but given they're written more like it anyway it's all right.

    I know I know, I was getting it confused for another gun... again... This is why @drpaladin is awesome, he reminds me not to be silly, with a cuff to the back of the head.

    Enrico does have Abernathy's Order finances. (CIA black ops fund) it would be a shame if those fell into a highly co-ordinated, ruthlessly aggressive, and very patriotic Canadian's hands, who is a might bit annoyed at them slapping his husband in chains... just sayin

    I mean, Andrew's good, but that good? With no back up, no chances, no gun... hmmm That's going to be a interesting challenge...

    they weren't collateral, they were enemy combatants in a time of war. The three in that room contributed to the strategic and tactical bombing of Andrew's home.

    Morning all. As promised, one Enrico/Andrew double tap.
  16. CHAPTER 20 December 24, 2019 – 07:48 EST WORLD END: T-minus 78 Days, 3 Hour, 12 Minutes George Bush Center for Intelligence, Langley, Virginia The morning was a cold, grey blade pressed against the throat of Virginia. Mist clung to the pines surrounding the complex, and the air held the wet, metallic scent of coming snow. The sprawling, brutalist geometry of the CIA headquarters was not lit for beauty. It was lit for clarity. For surveillance. For the cold absorption of secr

    Chapter 1

    Some of these are new pieces, some of these are very old pieces I have pulled out of my archive and revamped/rewritten to work. I wanted to give everyone something Christmas-ey in the run up to Christmas to say a big thanks for all the immense support this past year. Pushing me to get better, hone the craft, and just enjoy my writing again after so long of being ill.

    It's going to be a worthwhile reunion. Right now I am writing about Sprogs, Grandpa Jon, and Merrickville tenacity. Go Storm! *flashes of Red Dawn*

    Yeah literally just finished writing that... it's... a few.... more than a few... it's a lot.... a lot of people... Andrew is a machine when he gets going. (remembers Andrew's breach submarine fight) yeah... he's worrying when he's immensely pissed.

    Granny Highmore said it best, Highmore men can be remarkably stubborn, especially when they are in love

    Sooner or later Will needs to run into someone that doesn't underestimate the reedy, bespectacled history geek and see the warrior underneath Of course you all know Andrew is sitting there smirking, having seen it all along.

    Chapter 19

    One of Will's acts in the night scene with Lisa, was to open the National Armories and arm every Canadian that asked for it with military grade weaponry. This was the Churchill plan for England if it was occupied. Canada isn't done, not by a long shot.
