    And there is nothing Enrico likes more than punching Bigots. Edit: The author would like it clarified that by Bigots, he is referring to the buck-toothed Order bastards like Abernathy. Enrico is going to get very old school Pancho Villa on their Louisiana bayou behinds.

    Chapter 3

    Enrico sipped his coffee, from the jet as it winged it's way northwards, already wrapped in a blanket. "Why does it have to snow, always snow up here?" he complained loudly. "It's just... uncivilized. Some one get me a hot water bottle, and tell Carter to turn the heat back on, si?"

  4. Chapter three December 5th, 11:00 AM EST WORLD END: T-minus 96 days, 0 hours, and 00 minutes. The Élysée Palace, Paris, France The Salon Doré was a room of gold leaf and velvet, a place where the fate of Europe was typically debated in hushed, formal tones. Today, the air inside was stagnant, heavy with the smell of stale coffee and the unspoken terror of a shifting world order. President Emmanuel Macron sat behind the antique Louis XV desk, his jacket discarded,

    Ahhh Mountain snow... and NC... damn I am jealous... I get rain, a leaky cottage roof, and our local Gay Scene (a gay duck in the pond) has flown off for the winter. Probably halfway to Cancun by now...

    I admit, I am having a blast with this. Brody's Great x 5 Grandfather is a fun callback to some of my earlier work. And the poker is just, great fun

    Thank you sir, and I am glad you are enjoying it.

    Chapter 6

    I genuinely enjoy the courtship between these two, it's not yearning teenagers, angst and whining. It's got a bite to it, equals figuring each other out. Theo knows what he wants, he's just trying to guage how ready Elias is for it. Elias is only hesitating because he's worried what it will mean for Theo. And sooner or later Jack's going to drop kick the both of them if they don't hurry up and get on with it.

    **Chapter 6: The Deputy's Star** The morning sun over Silver Creek was bright and hard, a merciless eye revealing the scars of the previous day with an unforgiving clarity. The main street was a tapestry of shattered glass, splintered wood from the jailhouse façade, and the dark, dried stains of violence that had soaked into the thirsty dirt. Inside the jailhouse, the atmosphere was a strange mix of aftermath and order. The U.S. Marshals moved with quiet efficiency, processing the

    As always, Mr. Rietbergen, you provide food for thought, and reflection. Thank you. I agree, an action like this would be debated for decades after the fact. School kids writing essays, verdicts passed by professors of Constitutional Law, and historians. Will Carter vs the King of the North persona, the husband vs the vengeful avenger, the Father vs the Guardian. Right now Will's disassociation protects him, and allows him to function through this. But that is fleeting, and sooner or later, the man he is deep down will reassert himself. And the only man Andrew fears the Judgement of, will judge himself.

    Will loves Andrew and his boys. And they tried to put a missile through his kid's bedroom window, and took his husband. Honestly, I think Will's being quite restrained...

    Jessica is Andrew's Protege, he trained her. Without Andrew there, she's had to step up. And I always liked her balanced realism and quiet capability.

    also Will is a white two sugar man, the fact he is drinking cold black coffee is telling as to his mental state.

    I think the 2019 Trump administration was very different than the current one. And as per GA rules, we should focus on the historical 45th President, and not the 47th (I find it almost like looking at two different men... anyway, rules, observing so @drpaladin 's banhammer doesn't fall on us all.) If I am remembering rightly, he had a split congress constraining wilder moments, General Flynn was keeping a reign on things, and there was a sense of you can't do that in the air. Plus it's an election year. It changes things slightly.

    18 so far, but I am adding to it, it is unfinished. This chapter didn't exist yesterday... so this brinkmanship is new. This is sort of what happened at the end of the last book, a fundamental shift in the ice has me reworking things.

  22. Chapter Two December 5th,10:31 AM EST WORLD END: T-minus 96 days, 0 hours, and 29 minutes. The White House Situation Room, Washington D.C. The room was the nerve center of the Western world. A windowless, soundproofed fortress buried beneath the West Wing, bathed in the cool blue glow of monitors tracking carrier groups, nuclear arsenals, and the delicate architecture of global trade. This was where empires were managed. Where wars began with polite memos.
