Actually Doc, you have got me thinking now, and it could create a bloody good scene... I mean I am on chapter 30 of the NEXT book.... but I could go back and work the scene in to this one.... ooooo mmmmm must do it in a way that doesn't break everything. (had to deal with an instance of that yesterday... I re-wrote giant swathes of Carter's Run (the next book) because of a giant plot hole I had accidentally created. >.< I can be a muppet some times... These books are easily the most complex ones I have ever written. And as it is going, the battle between Abernathy and Andrew is easily the most compelling. Enrico was a threat, but let's face it, he was a bit of a softie. Abernathy is fire, conviction, and an unwavering threat. It's funny, the man's greatest fear is a wedding ring on another man's finger and what it represents.

I'll be sure to include that in "Doc's post mortem of the PPT's career" I think, in my assessment, they got too familiar, the rink is one of those universal Canadian safe spaces. The central hub of life in a small Canadian town. defenses that should never have been dropped were lowered by the familiarity of it all. A fundamental mistake that ended up costing every single person involved. And yet, as it's established that the PM doesn't exactly give a crap about Will's actual health, and more about containing the threat to his leadership, fitting that he would leave them in place. After all a bullet would solve all of his Carter problems.

The failure of Will's PPT makes me wonder if that's Sarah as well. They repeatedly show... poor judgement to the point of it being negligent. Deliberate Sabotage is more probably. I might have to tighten that up in later chapters. There needs to be a reason. Because @drpaladin is right, the PPT guarding Will should never have let him out of their sight. (It's true three Sprogs, Peter, and Will was a bit much for the three man PPT team, they should never have left Will (their P1) alone at any point. Might have Hickey's boss have a strong word about competency. Might just call him Doc for giggles.

It's when Silas starts to realize that he isn't fighting Will, but fighting Andrew that things get really interesting. Because, as we have established over Fortress, Recourse, Breach and now Order, Andrew's no White Knight, he's down in the mud, sword covered in blood, doing what must be done so that Will can do what he does.

West's smarter, I think, than 99% of the people around him (Peter included) give him credit for, and THANK gods for that. He does get his MVP trophy a few time through these books.

What, us? Don't mind us, we're just... here to help

Nope, too early, must back bed... sleepy

Chapter Twenty WORLD END: T-minus 155 days, 4 hours, and 30 minutes 7 Rideau Gate, Ottawa, Ontario The sitting room in the North Wing was a place of impossible comfort: plush velvet chairs, a carved stone fireplace, and tall windows that filtered the pale morning light onto an antique Persian rug. It was a space designed to welcome powerful guests, but currently, it was the site of an emotional collision. Peter sat forward on the sofa; his hands clasped so tightly his k

Sounds like he may need a lesson, wonder who's still in town that might be able to teach him a little.... Shakespeare.

To explain the @Paladin Brian/Giraffe Daddy joke. Paladin pointed out something in the text of one of the chapters a few chapters back, and as a reward I gave him a cameo... which somehow has spiraled into our boy Brian! There's always one character that just jumps up and down and goes Oooooo me me me!

Ghost Protocol : The Movie! Produced by Mr. Goodman Executive Producer : Madam Chao Executive Giraffe Boy : @Paladin Brian somewhere down the bottom of the credits, : Written by some guy named Blake Wolo-whtzit it doesn't matter.

It's when he finds out she ruthlessly bought out his publishing house and immediately commissions Ten more books of a series he hates writing and she adores.

And quite probably the ONLY person Lydia has shown any respect for in the entire book based on that fact alone.

High School Teacher not a very good reporter, and thus a High School English Teacher ::chuckles:: oh I am amused at the sheer volume of Blake Hate.

@Myr Think we can add a tag to the Hard boiled detective category Big Boss?

You think I could get away with a TWINK-Fatale?

Awww now I gotta write that....

I am just picturing Merrickville in a 1940's style Film Noir hard boiled detective film. Mary-Joe Hickey as the femme fatale (Clovis's grandmother) Jonathan Harding Senior as the Hard Boiled detective (West's Grandfather) Tammy Highbury as the loyal secretary (Lisa's Granny) And of course the infamous Gangster Larry Highmore (Andrew's Grandfather) With his side kick henchman Harold Jensen toting a tommy gun.

Oh man you lot hate Blake all of a sudden, poor Blake... now how is Jason going to get him out of this mess?

Lids has a secret weapon Blake won't see coming, good old Brian's going to earn his place on the Board of directors

Wow, all the Blake hate :: grins :: AWESOME I have my very own Serveras Snape!

No one ever said Blake was rational... much to Jason's amusement, Blake is wonderfully neurotic.

Mean, we can see a certain Girafe Daddy's jealous edge over his Kyle showing through Mister Muffin Man.
