It's harder to prove. There are land registries etc, but if you show up with a deed and go "but John sold me the land for a nickle"
"No I didn't" "You did, your honour he and his friends are just having seller's remorse"
It creates ENOUGH of a legal problem that the Railway can build, move on, while the court is trying to sort it all out. And by then it's too late.
And no promises
Let's give Bobby credit, he killed one of the four, seriously wounded the leader. He was, sort of, the only one fighting back.
Brave little Deputy, standing alone. (I am not discounting Timmy's contribution, just effectiveness of his shots)
The Red River War was a military campaign launched by the United States Army in 1874 to displace the Comanche, Kiowa, Southern Cheyenne, and Arapaho tribes from the Southern Plains, and forcibly relocate the tribes to reservations in Indian Territory.
It is widely regarded as a tragedy, the fact that Jean Levesque was a battlefield surgeon in the aftermath of this battle shows how a man get's shaped by what he has seen, and what he has done.
Chapter 6: The Ledger & The Lead
**Merrickville, Ontario. Late February, 1885.**
The air inside Grady's Gunworks & Smithy was a distinct climate, separate from the biting Canadian winter outside. It was a warm, dry world that smelled of coal dust, hot iron, mineral oil, and the sharp, acidic tang of flux—a masculine perfume, heavy and industrial, a scent of creation and repair. Here, violence was not a sudden burst in the street but a slow, deliberate craft, forged in fi
A lot of these groups in Uni for me, at that time, were... less than ideal spaces. I hear things have changed now, which is good. I just never got on with the Pride association at mine.
Dad Will, at his Daddiest, Dadding his two Sprogs.
It's good practice for when he has Jacob, Tommy and Weston on his hands. We're a good 14 years from Carter's Breach, and 18 from Carter's Order. Which means Jacob is born 7 years from this point. Two years after Will and Andrew get married in 2005
Thanks by the way, you gave me a nudge to correct a couple of inconsistencies in this book so it fits.
For example Andrew's firm is GS&P not Drake. He's a partner, not an Associate. Small stuff.
Elias and Theo cleared the path.
Timmy and bobby are sort of going through something with Timmy's father.
But Cam and Henry, after the above, who's going to object, by the time they do it the town's used to it. At least for a generation.
It was surprisingly common in this pattern in remote towns I have read. Most ignored it on the frontier because they all had larger problems to deal with.
I am actually writing this into the story.
Peter has that similar slowed aging that Thomas Brody Sangster has... that perpetual agelessness that is a curse.
Imagine being forty and still getting carded... or asked "are you lost, do you need your folks?"
No wonder Peter is perpetually annoyed.
I... I am not sure if I am allowed to put this here. But I think this is the right place for it:

If you want to show real support, that matters. Please just read what they do.
It's the first steps into a world of secrets and lies.
It's four years until Will learns Andrew works for CSIS, and Four years till they eventually get it back the way it is supposed to be.
Both have a journey to go through until they get there.
Will will continue to be Will, steadfast and kind.
Andrew will grow into the bastion he becomes.
Peter and Jason are on their own journey of discovery.
There's darkness a head, men like Merrick don't like to be defeated.

Every bit helps me out tremendously.
Thank you for reading how Andrew became Andrew, and finally answer the lost unanswered question of what happened to Denton Jensen.
Chapter 18: The Sovereign of the Self
The Thursday night air in Toronto didn't smell like ozone and burnt magnesium. It smelled of rain on hot pavement, roasting coffee from the 24-hour shop on the corner, and the low-frequency hum of a million lives being lived simultaneously, a vast, indifferent energy that was both overwhelming and liberating. In Will Carter’s narrow, three-story townhouse in the Scarborough Bluffs, the atmosphere was thick with a different kind of tension—not the
I used to date a Henry, lovely guy just... intensity was up at 11.
Nothing wrong with him at all, just could be a lot to take at times.
I didn't mind, I found it charming.
My friends were understanding even if they nicknamed him "The short annoying Frenchman" I kinda had a type for a long time, the more they drove my friends nuts, the more I liked 'em. Though I did have this one friend that LOVED dating the guys I dated, right after I broke up with them, so he was a hypocrite
Ahh Danny (my Henry) we still chat, delightful guy filled with bounce!
