    Chapter 36

    "I don't think that's what it means to: Poll the electorate." "You're just lucky you nicked the Presidential Briefs." "Well this makes a change from Seaman jokes." "Oh no, no, no... we're not done with those "REAR-Admiral"." "Shut up Carter!"

    Chapter 36

    OMG now I am picturing : Scene: A Submarine Pen, and Angry Admiral vs a pissed off President. Seamen rushing to hide from the cataclysmic fight brewing. "You know this is just a garage, right?" Andrew snaps. "Yes, but it's bigger... and that's not a mustang!" Will gestures to the billion dollar submarine. "Still, I'm sure there's a back seat in there somewhere!" "I am NOT Peter, you don't get to shut me up by being dorky and sexy... and in uniform... and... oh God damn it, I am never winning an argument again am I?"

    I mean Uncle Peter and Uncle West do have the healthiest relationship out of the bunch. Will and Andrew used avoidance and Garage fights (The don't ask rule) But West and Peter met things head on, and could always separate their fighting from their love. So yeah I see the boys adopting the far healthier and more fun of the two styles

    Chapter 36

    It's relatively common, from what I have been reading. Now if they fight and break up, sure, Will's going to have a headache, but his bond with Tommy is very strong. Scene morning after the break up, kitchen table. "Pass the pancakes to your Ex boyfriend please..." "No, he smells funny and he's a jerk." "You're the one who broke up with me! Now here's the syrup, jackass..." "You two quite done, or do I have to seperate you again?" BOTH: HE STARTED IT! So nope, no different from normal then.

    It would have been done earlier But after Carter's Run, Throne came only a few weeks later it was all too soon, then the occupation and it wasn't practical. It felt right here, a way to closing Tommy and Jacob's arcs for the book. That and Will was nervous about asking, which is always a good thing, seeing the human fears of a leader grounds him And let's face it Uncle Peter would have probably had a word earlier in the book about it.

    Chapter 36

    This book is a Tommy and Peter one, the work they do to keep the family together, healing it and protecting it is just as important as the Soldier, Politician and the Spy. Tommy and Jacob have formed an adult relationship of mutual care out of the Childish one they had. They've had no choice but to grow up early, but at least they chose to do it with each other.

    No, thankfully. All is quiet on the village front.

  12. Chapter THIRTY-SIX: The Glass Box Location: The Presidential Suite, The LeVeque Tower, Columbus, Ohio Time: 23:45 Hours. Late September, 2024. Status: Campaign Swing State Tour (Day 14 of 19) The silence in the hotel suite was expensive. It was the kind of heavy, air-conditioned quiet that cost two thousand dollars a night, designed to convince the occupants that the screaming crowds, the diesel fumes of the bus, and the flashing strobe lights of the press pool didn't exist.

    CSIS has it's eyes squarely on the pipeline, Andrew just became very useful. Clovis is awake and ready to protect Jason, like he always has. Old lines getting redrawn on the map

    Chapter 8

    Act IX: The Heartbeat of a Monster The sun was setting over the Rideau Valley, bleeding a bruised, sickly purple across the horizon that matched the heavy, acid mood inside the yellow Volvo. Andrew Highmore shifted gears with a wince, the vibration of the worn-out transmission rattling through his left arm, which still hummed with the phantom tension of six hours gripped around a Case Law textbook. The "Banana" was wheezing more than usual today, its old engine struggling with a rhythmic, w

    sorry about the setting, it's supposed to be the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, for some reason it keeps resetting to Boston from an earlier draft of mine. I have fixed it again. Sorry about that.

    Will took hits in that debate, he lost his temper, but he fought back, and mauled his foe.
