    Chapter 37

    It's all about markers. Will can't, but Biden has nothing to lose. It gives him power in his twilight, and the price he demands will be high. I was toying, I admit, with Will saying screw it, and running to Newfoundland to become a pirate wife... but that wouldn't work. Entertaining, he could have a parrot, and an eyepatch. Peter would complain, Endlessly... But the boys would love it, modern day Vikings...

  4. CHAPTER THIRTY-SEVEN: THE PRINCE OF WALES Location: HMS Prince of Wales (R09), International Waters, North Atlantic Time: 14:00 Hours, October 14, 2024 Status: 21 Days to Election The Atlantic Ocean was a gray, heaving beast, indifferent to the lines drawn on maps or the desperate men flying over its surface. It was the same indifferent gray that had swallowed Andrew’s plane. The same indifferent gray that had watched Will’s country die. Will Carter sat strapped in

    Chapter 9

    This is them for the four years they are apart. They spend two years like this, in a quasi relationship. Then Will spends two years with Marc, healing and getting his head on straight. He works out what Andrew knows all along... that they are JUST as you described here. They stop denying it and find their way back to each other STRONGER than they were before the separation

    Chapter 9

    You've hit on the core of it. They are both being incredibly stupid. They are very much in love, it's that Will believes he has to do this to find himself. Something Marc helps him do. And that, ultimately, is the catalyst to get him to realize he's been an idiot. Growing up can be hard, and it takes both of them a while to do it. I like that I am now able to explore that.

    Chapter 7

    Riley is the only one loved in this book, and loved in return, so yes in a way. There is a second book, mostly written, about Riley getting his way. That one *is* a love story... just sideways and upside down across five lanes of the M25... in typical Riley fashion.

    You're still thinking Ben thinks like we do. He doesn't. That's his Kieran, and he decides what happens to him.

    You are very right, Donny Masterson is following him, and would have most certainly seen where Andrew went in Smith Falls. I do not think he managed to follow Andrew into Toronto, his erratic driving, the speed of the MULE would have lost him trying to go through Oshawa.

    Mommy WHY is this section of the Presidential Library Age resticted to Adults Only? Um little Timmy, President Carter was, um... very interested in debreifings

    Chapter 9

    I know of rumours and stories, of what had to be done some times. Rural place, just like Merrickville, corrupt legal system and some REAL monsters. They like to hide in the dark places. But they forget that there is a justice to be found when all other options are gone. I am struggling to remember the quote, but it runs to the effect of: Deny enough people justice for long enough, they will make their own.

    Same all over. There are literally cases like this in England right now. We're watching Mendalson and Andrew Montbatten-Windsor being protected in real time by the old boy network

    Chapter 9

    I did a lot of research into this scenario, and this one case just drove it home. The SHEER evil of McElroy was... beyond the pale. How he got away with it, for so long, so effectively makes me doubt the whole rotten system that allowed it

    Chapter 9

    Will and Andrew, no matter what happens, they can't help themselves. Re-opening wounds that had never healed. Andrew is stuck, and he can't see it. Great intelligence, legal mind, CSIS Asset in training... and he can't see what everyone else sees. To be fair, Will doesn't see it either.

    Chapter 10: The Kinetic Ghost The 401 was a grey, unspooling ribbon of industrial indifference, but to the MULE, it was a proving ground. Andrew Highmore drove the prototype with a focused, surgical aggression that lived in the space between control and abandon. The car had a Kenwood radio, troublingly it wasn’t working, no doubt a short somewhere in the complicated wiring behind the dash. But the engine provided a soundtrack that rendered music obsolete. The modern three-valve V8 wasn't a

    Chapter 36

    I forgot about Ned, hmmm that's not a bad idea. Out of the Family, he'd be the MOST chill driving instructor ever. "Like pull over here!" "But that's across three lanes of traffic!" "Sure, but it's the best donut shop in town... and I have the munchies!" "You're high again!" "I am not, but I wish I was... man you drive worse than Pa-pere if that's possible... now stick the indicator on and crank the wheel hard over, Alllonsy!"

    Chapter 36

    Not to mention who is going to teach Jacob to drive. I mean he kinda knows already... but still We hasn't driven himself in a decade. Andrew is a MEANACE behind the wheel, and the world's WORST driving instructor West would just remark that they can figure it out, like he did. And that leaves... oh man... oh hell no... oh dear.

    Chapter 36

    If Will wins, those boys are in for a difficult time. This doesn't end with an election vote. If Will loses, those boys are in for a hellish time. Reprisals will be harsh, and hit all of them. But they have each other, they have their dads, they have a big brother that loves them, and they have their uncles. A family that is a bastion.

    Not till they're 16! And have done all their homework. And they can sneak past the Marine guards.
