    Chapter 26

    Three things you can rely on: the professionalism of the US Navy in a crisis, the timely arrival of the US Army when someone is in trouble, and a boot up the ass of the badguys from the US Marines. I have a tremendous respect for the US armed forces, so I want it clear that what I write for a story is in no way a reflection on the services.

    Will and Tommy will have that talk, I mean it's mere formality at this point, but we all know Will's Tommy's Dad and always has been, he's just waiting for permission. Hell Will was Tommy's dad even before that chat with Bob at the arena. It's not stated clearly, beyond his mom's troubles... but Tommy has never known his real dad. The only one he's ever known is Will. (We also know that Uncle Peter is proudly Mom but no one dares call him that)

    Usuaully it is Uncle Will, but there is a later beat in Campaign where this is addressed... and Will asks Tommy what he wants. I just had to here, in this one... keep it vague as to not spoil things. I mean he is Called Tommy Carter in this one, so you know.

    Tommy to the rescue, I like Tom-boy he's a good egg, and quick on the up tick, helping Orel back from the edge of a meltdown that would have undermined everything. Tarquin is a cruel machine, setting Orel up for a public meltdown infront of the guests would have given him everything he needed for his conservatorship argument. Tommy stepping up, and protecting his friend by calling the one person he knows can handle it, says a lot of our Olympic champion in training. Besides he gets to tease his cousin :

    Tomorow is the last chapter of this one. Then on wards, we're going back in time to Merrickville of 2001. Andrew and what happened back then.

    Chapter 22

    Tarquin of Rome is about to find the gates of his city are closed to him, and the population in revolt. The man he thought simple and incapacitated has organized a revolution against his corrupt rule. Lucretia has said her truth, and it was heard.

    Misters Finnegan and Orel Grady Now to crush a bad man.
  15. Chapter Twenty-Three: The False Spring The Founder’s Day Gala was not a party; it was a siege of aesthetics. Merrick Manor had been transformed into a gilded cage of sensory aggression. Tarquin Merrick had opted for the “Vernal Awakening” theme, a choice that was as calculated as it was cruel. The grand ballroom was choked with thousands of forced-bloom lilies, their white trumpets screaming with a fragrance so potent it felt physical. To Orel, the scent was a cloying, floral weight t

    Yani is going to need to get somewhere where he can do that. Because you know the military is going to suppress the footage showing they fired first. And if the US cut the cable... hmmm :: cracks knuckles :: I had other plans for him, but I can actually do both... let's see how my writing day goes. I like a good challenge, and nothing wrong with making slight alterations. Let's see how the CIA like a spanking.

    Yani is fun character, the former CIA computer tech served with a Burn Notice because he helped Andrew, recruited to CSIS and then earned his way to becoming the Technical Quartermaster, master of the the Operational Code-names, and a wry sense of humour. I enjoy that he makes the CIA regret that Burn Notice through punishing competency and a good thwarting of their plans. There's someone in the NSA/CIA whose job it is to keep a file on him, annoyed every time they open it to find 'Yani waz here' written all over the cover page.

  21. CHAPTER TWENTY-SIX: THE GLASS JAW Location: The Cabot Strait. 42 nautical miles southwest of Cape North, Newfoundland. Time: July 28, 2024. 05:30 Newfoundland Daylight Time. Status: Disputed Waters. The Atlantic greeted the end of July with a shroud. The fog was not weather; it was a tactical blanket, thirty meters of visibility that rendered billion-dollar sensor suites nearly blind. On the bridge of HMCS Halifax, the AN/SPS-49 air search radar painted phantom returns that diss

    ooo deep lore dive there Aka Yes Will was the Acting Deputy Minister for Heritage under Robert Avery, he oversaw the transition and the transfer to Thorne. He ran Heritage in the interim after Robert's Death while he made his own decision to run for Parliament. Founding moment in his career. I 100% agree with you, he will not take embezzling from that department well, as he didn't during Carter's Fortress when the corrupt developers attempted it, and the former Prime Minister sought to cover it up.
