The CIA are DESPERATE to get Yani back, they made a colossal mistake issuing a burn notice on him during RECOURSE. Nothing motivates a person better than revenge on an organization that left you to rot in a foreign prison.
This is covered in the text, and it... Graves is a REAL threat to West because he knows EXACTLY who West is, what he is doing at night, and who it all ties back to. I fear West has a real nemesis for a change, who not only wants to beat him, but views Peter as the real prize.
Some men see a beautiful person like Peter and assume it's soft.
Peter is anything but soft. He's a razor blade wrapped in spikes, hidden under velour. Squeeze him and find out. LOL
Unfortunately two 14 year olds have painted a giant arrow right back to him. And that arrow can be seen from Orbit.
awwwwwwww now I want a boston Cream!
They just don't make them right over here...
I can see one, right there in that gif... damn. Now I am ordering donuts for breakfast delivery
CHAPTER FOUR
Location: The Brambles (2km North of Merrickville Sector) Time: 0800 Hours
The problem with living with a retired intelligence analyst was that he saw the patterns in everything. The problem with living with an artist was that he saw the patterns in nothing that couldn't be framed and hung on a wall.
West Harding stood before the corkboard he’d mounted in the corner of the A-frame’s main room, a mug of bitter chicory root coffee cooling beside him. It wasn't a boar
Bear with me, fixing some dialogue... texture... and trying my best not to throttle the AI thingy that was just supposed to sweep for spelling and grammar and decided to gut my dialogue for some unfathomable reason.
I need about a quarter of an hour.
It's why I reference Innes Road a LOT in my earlier books, especially the Tim Hortons and the Denny's up that way. And often you find the characters traveling East on the 417, instead of West.
Yeah, many many many years ago.... I needed an Ontario location for my stories... as Blackburn Hamlet was a bit small for what I needed. So my friend Marty (the inspiration for Brody) Said Merrickville and South Carleton High.... and so... viola.
Plus I grew up in New Brunswick, and I didn't really want to set the book there. It was a bit too small.
So I needed proximity to Ottawa, a School, and the Canal... so yeah
ahhh one of my rules for writing this is that Garrett has nothing. Crap job that pay's next to nothing. No real furniture, a car that was falling apart, and yellow shirts. LOTS of yellow shirts. haha and one determined Kyle
He is, this story are his first steps, his realization that he has a problem, that things are wrong in his life and that he needs to get help.
He does find that help.
I like to view this as an expression of love from both to each other.
Garrett realizing that he's Kyle's boyfriend, and Kyle bringing Garrett into his world.
The genuine joy of finding someone you can share who you are with. They're friends as well as lovers, geeking out over pizza and just being.
There is a genuine love for these early books. This one is more slice of life than anything deep. But it goes a long way to helping the reader understand the characters. Andrew's love for Will, Peter's introduction, Will's father's mentality.
