If you count the rooms and assume two to a room , he has enough for now.

Sounds like you know about kids and traveling. I think clothes are passed down, and the boys do their own laundry. I'm sure the older boys help the younger boys.

You bare right, this is a current problem in the US as well as Europe. Seeing these kids on the streets is what led me to write this story.

I'm not sure that would be awesome unless you own the store. I'll bet the store management had a big smile on their faces.

He may have to give up on each boy having their own room. If he doubles up, he can handle all of the boys he has

Only if we stop for pizza

I don't think he'll be worried aboutcteh dogs after all the.boys there. He should worry about how many dogs

yep

Yes, you could. Carleton is afraid of losing touch with his boys

Peter was surprised to see us as we cleared customs. The limo was empty, with no welcoming boys. I sat in the back with them. Arriving home, there on the porch were all of the boys and Maria. David came and opened the door. As the boys got out, he introduced himself and then the others. Maria had tears in her eyes as she looked at the very young boys. I now had a 7-year-old. "Maria, after we get everyone settled, I'll tell you what's happening." The boys headed to the dining room, wh

He has legal documents that prove they are his sons.My guess they are sufficient to deter any US government interference

Being young and not knowing what he experienced I guess Carleton feels like a savior.

That would be nice, but remembering the experience with the Italian Mafia,. it never goes away. I was on Europe in 2005, and they were still there. Also boys on the street.

I was a student at University of Pittsburgh when Dr. Salk discovered the Polio vaccine. I was one of the first to get that shot. The student body were asked to volunteer. I worked for Pfizer for 25 years, most of the people I knew there have retired. Yes, I would be eligible for the shot (s). Not sure how it is to be administered, arm or a**, Thanksgiving pie for me is apple not pumpkin, I am traditional only in some ways, but not all ways. Take care, if I don't take the shot, I'll send it your way.

There will be a doubling up I'm sure

Carleton knew something was up. Alex was already planning something when Carleton told him about the rooms in the attic. Now the question, are the rooms going to be enough. I think a remodeling job will be needed. There will be only the two of us for Turkey Day, and we eat in two different rooms. Take care,

Philippe, after spending several years in Europe, the Russian Mafia was a real entity. The police had their hands full. Although marijuana is legal, to a certain extent, in some counties, Holland was the drawing country, men went there knowing that they could get marijuana at coffee houses. This was the center of the Mafia activities. The supply of marijuana was controlled by inspectors who checked the coffee houses. If they had a supply above the legal limit, they were fined and then closed for repeated offenses. The Mafia made sure that certain coffee houses were never caught. Drugs led to prostitution which was legal but you must be 18 years of age. That was the opening for the Mafia to offer these men, boys under 18. I was approached several times. Some of them couldn't speak English or Dutch, but the man making the offer, could speak English and I would guess either languages as well. This story, although is fiction, has a real base.

You may have something here. Carleton is a key that can't be lost.

I think you may be right

I am sure Alex and his backers at The Hague will somehow insure his safety

I think you may be right

We landed in Amsterdam, Alex was there with a car. “We have rooms in The Hague.” I waited for Alex to tell me what the crisis was all about, he didn’t. “We can talk later. I’m glad you came. It will make everything so much easier.” “Alex, you have me being very curious. I’m anxious to know what the reason for this impromptu meeting.” During the drive to our hotel, Alex made small talk. He wanted to know about the alterations. I told him the exterior of the house has been changed sign

Inspect it has to do with more boys

The spell check didn't which is strange because when I add a new chapter it does pick up on somethings. I appreciate these comments because then I can go back and correct the spelling. Which I did .

When I woke up in the morning, I realized I was in a cuddled, Harry on one side and Charlie on the other side. I thought I knew about Harry, but I also knew I needed to break Charlie from coming to my bed. I casually extracted myself, went, took a shower, got dressed, and headed downstairs. One look at the bed, Charlie was cuddling with Harry. Walking into the kitchen, no one was there. I checked the time; it was 8. I couldn’t believe that Maria was still asleep. I started to make my cof
