CHAPTER THIRTY-FIVE: FIRE AND ICE Location: MGM Grand, Las Vegas Time: October 15, 2024. 20:45 EDT. Status: The Anvil. The MGM Grand felt less like a debate stage and more like an execution chamber. The air conditioning had been cranked down to a meat-locker chill—a psychological game by the Carter campaign that the Trump team had failed to veto. The silence in the hall was heavy, vibrating with a tension that made the moderators, David Muir and Linsey Davis, look

That's if he's eating healthy, and it isn't a complex break. He's got this till the end of the book I fear.

Neither do I, however at the time this was written things were more problematic. What we know now as unacceptable needs to be looked at through the lens of 2001 when this was set. We've come a long LONG way in defining what is and isn't okay. So yes, it's difficult. This book is old now and there are many parts I wish I could change but that's George Lucasing things..

Yep the first Coyote Book is dec 2025, the second is early spring 2026, the third will be Summer 2026 Alex is 16 at the start of that series. Brian is a year and a half older.

It's also a plot point: Denton did not order this done. The next chapter goes into it. It is... a bad event for every side in this because it brings someone's attention that no one wants to the conflict.

It makes me appreciate that there are people out there who just make their partners better. We have so many examples out there of the reverse, toxic relationships that implode on people... but there are some out there that elevate

Oh indeed, the Levesques are not a family you mess with.

They are pushing Andrew to the Thin Ice, and Andrew is a fighter by nature. Give him no other option and we know he does what must be done. Andrew is finding that the Law, justice, and security are not the same thing. It's a gutting lesson for him. He was sanctimonious in Carter's Duty, lecturing Will on the letter of the law, he's learning how wrong he was.

It's going to take time, and care for him to get past it. Will will keep him safe for now, Denton has no hope of finding Jason in the city. He's safe as long as he stays there.

Act VIII: The Transaction The heater in Will Carter’s 1994 Jeep Wrangler didn't just blow air; it roared. It was a dry, dusty heat that smelled of old upholstery, floor-mat grit, and something deeper, earthier—maybe the ghost of hockey gear that had never fully aired out. To Jason Jensen, shivering in the passenger seat as they left the financial district behind, it felt like the first honest warmth he’d known in months. Not the stale, trapped heat of a subway vent or the feeble glow of a c

Alex without Brian is a concerning thing. We're seeing him here without that moral anchor, being exactly what he was raised to be. Makes me appreciate our little Ninja Giraffe Pastry Chef all the more, Alex needs that spark of humanity that Brian brings him. @Paladin and I were discussing something along these lines the other day. I am prepping to write the third Coyote book, and the subject came up.

CHAPTER THIRTY-FOUR: THE CHORUS The silence in the holding suite at the MGM Grand was absolute, a jarring vacuum after the ninety minutes of cacophony on the stage. Will sat on the edge of a mid-century modern sofa, his tie loosened, his suit jacket discarded on a nearby chair. Outside, the Las Vegas strip was a neon fever dream, but inside, there was only the blue glow of his secure device. He didn't open the news sites first. He opened the messages. [VOICEMAIL TRANSCRIPT:

One of the big tragedies of our time is that you are right, it should.

Will's been through it, only person who has out of our lads. He's the only one who can talk Jason down from the edge.
