Thanks for reading and your interesting comments.

Epilog Jaimee hastily ended Paul’s call and, making some excuse, hurried home. Trembling with anticipation he had difficulty getting his key in the front door. Paul waited in the lounge room with a smile writ large over his handsome features. They simply stood looking at each other. Weeks of frustration and fear dissolved as they collided in a passionate kiss until their hunger for each other demanded physical relief. After hours of amazing sex, Paul and Jaimee acknowledged that their love h

Chapter Thirteen 13.1 Time passes. ‘I hate this waiting. It’s been several weeks since you visited with the Attorney and the detective, yet we’ve heard nothing. After I gave you Simon’s number did anyone contact him? Can’t you call this Norman and get an update.?’ ‘What good would that do? He’ll call me when he’s ready.’ Both Paul and Jaimee fell into a depressive mood after the visit to Norman Gibson’s office. It had been several weeks and they’d heard nothing. At work, they w

Read on. Simon has his own problems . . . coming up. Thanks for your comments

I think the final chapter and epilogue will make things clear. Thanks for commenting

Jaimee was distraught at the dog's death but I wrote about his despair after he'd settled down somewhat. I didn't want tot clog the story with unnecessary hysteria. He eventually suggested planting a tree over the dog's burial place as a permanent reminder.

Chapter Twelve 12.1 Simon reports to Lan ‘ . . . so, you’re absolutely sure he understood your message. It’s important Mr. Pearse that our malcontents understand completely what’s going to happen if they don’t comply. We don’t make idle threats. We’ve found . . .’ ‘(hastily interrupting) But you wouldn’t do anything to Jaimee, right? I mean it’s just a threat and I’d never forgive myself if Jaimee suffered any injury. He’s just an innocent kid and hasn’t any pre-involvement with thi

Chapter Eleven 11.1 Simon visits Paul ‘Well, how did it go? What did the attorney say?’ ‘Before I get into that how about you fix me a strong martini . . . a double vodka.’ ‘Bad as that eh? (mixing the drink for Paul) Well (sigh) we knew it’s gonna be tough Do you want a lemon twist (Paul nodded) Here then, have a guzzle, and let’s hear the good news.’ Paul had just got home from visiting an attorney recommended by an old school friend. Now nearing dinner time on a Friday

Yep . . . the threads are cumming together . . . only a few chapters to go.

Had to do some hard thinking about the twins. When I was twelve I was very sexually active (any male would do) so if I sound critical of Simon, there is an element of hypocrisy there. The main issue is whether anyone's been victimized and raped. That's definitely a no, no.

I saw your earlier comment about 'Zumba' but decided to let you read on. I'm an incurable romantic believing that love is a powerful panacea for hard times. They do say 'love conquers all'.

My favopurite T'Gallant wine is a reisling with a very slight 'spritzig' aftertaste. Very refreshing on a hot summer's day . . . but not at $110.

Chapter Ten 10.1 Simon meets Arthrit Several days later Simon Pearce sat fuming at the bar of Melbourne’s Crown Casino hotel. That morning he’d been called into his boss’s office and terminated. The reason – a complaint had been made against him for sexually assaulting two minor boys. The boss had read statements concerning his activities and concluded the charge substantiated. The police would not be involved. He still had some commissions coming in the pipeline so his immediate finance

Chapter Nine 9.1 Jaimee meets with the boy's dad ‘Hello . . . ummm Ken Wilson here.’ ‘Ummm ken . . . look it’s . . . it’s Jaimee in number ten. I’ve got something I need to talk to you about. I definitely don’t want to talk over the phone, so . . . so, could you possibly pop up to my place as soon as you can?’ ‘Jeeessuss Jaimee, you sound terrible. If you’re in trouble perhaps the wife can help with whatever’s wrong. I’ll just see if . . .’ ‘NO, NO please Ken . . . I just

When I wrote that part I'd just found out my own dog , a beautiful, loyal fox terrier who I've named 'Buddy' has had to have his back teeth out, at a cost of $A1500. No amount of money is too much for a guy's best friend. It's interesting you've been to Melbourne but not the Mornington Peninsula. It's beautiful and our main product, besides tourism, is wine-making. There really is a restaurant right on Mt. Matha beach, and is my favorite haunt. Glad you get your response. Thanks again.

Thanks for your comments. At this point the story gets a bit messy, but later on . . .

Thanks for your comments. Yes, some of the laundered money definitely comes from the opium parlor. As you'll find out . . . . no, I can't say anymore.

Chapter Eight 8.1 Jaimee reports to the Senior Partner The senior partner decided he and Jaimee would have a sandwich lunch at their Friday meeting. Kirsty Meadows ordered an impressive array of sandwiches which Jaimee now hungrily munched as Frank read his report. He covered his nervousness by gorging himself. He’d worked and re-worked the report knowing this would be a test of his ability to make a lucid and professional analysis of his work at the Ministry. Frank hardly touched a sand

Chapter Seven 7.1 Cynthia [Zumba] meets her friends. ‘Ahh . . . I see. That does seem very unfortunate. Why haven’t you come to tell me this before?’ ‘Because Lan, it’s just become a problem. One of the Elders, or perhaps several, have become suspicious and called in an accounting firm to do an audit, of the current financial year. We didn’t get much notice, so all we could do was comply; not to do so would’ve been suspicious. It wasn’t . . .’ ‘My dear Cynthia we are well capab

As I got into the story I felt really close to Jaimee. He's a complicated character but over-all just nice. Thanks for commenting.

Chapter Six 6.1 The audit comes together Surrounded by his under-grads, Jaimee considered the documents before him. They were copies of the Discharged Mortgages Register held at the Land Titles Office and clearly showed a mortgage being discharged on a property in Frankston just before the close of the previous financial year. The amount was large - $2,000,000 and explained why the Mortgage payments for last year were much bigger than the current year. That’s where the transaction t

Chapter Five 5.1 The Audit Continues. Several days later, Jaimee sat back and considered the team’s progress. He’d obtained a copy of last year’s Revenue account and verified that the published Mortgage Payments were correct, and they, indeed almost doubled the current year. Then the team had listed payments from the Bank statements and agreed the total to the Revenue Account. Now Jaimee had a list in front of him which showed the payment date, the amount paid, and the Bank’s description

You're very intuitive. Paul's got many problems but underneath he's strong. If he wanted to he could give our Jaimee a choice - Simon or him. But he doesn't. Read on . . .

Yes right now Jaimee's problem is being unfaithful to Simon. Because he's sensitive he won't let his feelings for Paul get in the way of the blooming relationship with Paul. But read on . . .

Nothings as it seems. People hide their darkest side from even their love ones.
