Great chapter. JJ needs to do exactly as he was told and turn the lens of the microscope around and take a good hard look at himself as he's always batching about someone else as if what he does is perfectly fine. He tends to alienate everyone around him and then calls or goes to Stef to have him cool the situation down, only this time it backfired on him because Stef wasn't going to be backing JJ up this time, as his grandfather informed him. I hope that one day JJ will wake up and realize that he's not all that special as he thinks he is. I think Darius and Bellona are going to have an interesting night and so will Patrick and Will. I'm glad that JJ's finally getting what he's needed for a very long time now and that's a slap in the face and a wake-up call that he's not going to be treating people the way he has anymore and if he does I don't think Stef is going to be in JJ's corner anymore.

I agree with Chris that I'm glad that they survived, now all they have to do is figure out how much damage was done by whatever they hit. I'm hoping that they have a spare satellite dish and possibly a new mast as well. I think it's going to be a good while before they get going again, that's only if they can make the repairs themselves and that's only if they have the materials to make the repairs. This was a great chapter, I can't wait for the next chapter to see if they'll get the repairs done and then replace the sat phone as theirs went into the ocean.

I have to agree with kelvinvictor when he says that your characters have a strength and humanity that you don't often find. I hope that when George & Devon finish telling the doctor about what the serum does and that as long as they have the discs in they won't become vampires, that she won't freak out about them being vampires. I'm hoping that they'll all get released soon as Dragon is going to need his 2nd dose of the serum. I like the comment made by the Dr about Colin's dressing on the entry and exit bullet wounds, she said that it was a very good field dressing, Colin had told her Devon applied the dressings. The police inspector doesn't like the idea that he's not getting the whole truth about why this group is really in Romania. I can't wait for the next chapter. Thanks for writing this great story.

Another great chapter. I'm glad that Anton and his crew have made it through the Pacific Ocean to Hawaii without much trouble in the form of weather. I'm sorry to see Sara and Oscar leave the crew but I think she's right in wanting some mother son time. I hope that Anton goes through the box of paper work from his stepfathers business to see if anything stands out as suspicious, I don't know if he would know what to do with the information he finds if he even sees anything odd. I hope that they can enjoy their stop in Hawaii and they get to see some of the city. I wish them luck on the journey from Hawaii to Vancouver Canada.

Poor Daniel, he thought maybe he'd done something wrong when he and Carlos did their thing, afterwards it seemed like Carlos had gotten what he wanted and that was that. Neither Daniel or Carlos thought to talk to the other to see where they stood. I hope that with the new rules about communication and the sleeping arrangements maybe they can move forward with their relationship like Silas and Oscar did by getting married. If Daniel and Carlos get married, maybe they can make it a double ceremony with Toby and Tara getting married right along side of them. I think it would be great for them to have the double ceremony because then all three of the brothers would be married then. I also think that it might help bring them closer to each other rather than it continue the way it's been for a long time before Toby rescued them. Great story so far, I'm really enjoying it, I think it can only get better.

Another great chapter, I'm surprised that Will is being shut down the way he is by his dad. I hope that they can find a job for the man who was given the rotten end of everything that Will's mom did. I know that John doesn't have any faith in what Will's saying about the man losing everything including his job and family. I can't wait to hear about the honeymoon and where they go, I can only hope that it's not a long wait for the next chapter.

That big wave caught Anton and Finn off guard and Anton paid for it by hitting his head on the counter and blacking out for an hour. I'm glad that Finn was paying attention and when Anton didn't come back after 15 minutes Finn got on the two way to get help to find Anton, Simon took the helm and Finn went and got Toby up to help him with Anton and then went to get Sara to take care of Anton. Luckily it wasn't serious enough to require Medical help. When Anton came to he was told he'd been out for an hour and then Anton asked for Toby, Finn and Sara to take him to the bridge and that Simon could keep an eye on him. This was a really great chapter, hopefully they won't be getting anymore bad weather and will give the guests a great trip. Thanks for writing this story.

I feel bad for Beth & Jack for the loss of the baby and also for Beth's wrist and leg, having to have surgery on both is going to be rough on her. The more I read the more I wanted to know more about the characters and the affection they have not only for each other but also for the ones around them. Jack was a new person who is now considered a part of the family, the way he gets around Beth shows why he's become an integral part of the family. Jack treats Beth like a queen he goes out of his way to make sure that she's taken care of before himself. I truly believe that this family is going to be doing quite a bit of traveling to be with another member of the family who it turns out that it's Will, who is Alex's cousin.

Can't wait to read the second book when you get it done. Thank you for your great books.

I loved this chapter as well. It's going to be a very busy 2 weeks on this charter, going from New Zealand to Hawaii with 2 stops in between. I'm glad that Anton's grandfather had the idea to arrange for the extra crew members. I'm sure Jasper's not to happy about it at all, especially since it might put him short of the crew if he gets a charter. I'm glad that the boys now have a permanent place to get their education since Anton's trying to stay away from Australia right now as he doesn't want any more accidents and loss of family members because someone is after something that they want but don't know who has it. Can't wait for more great writing.

I have wondered about the box of business documents that Anton found in the storage unit, if it might contain information that something wasn't what it should be and that info is in the box. I hope that Sarah isn't involved in the strange things that keep happening if she is it would be better to find out sooner than later. I'm glad that Sarah's taken some of the cooking chores away from Simon to allow him more time to help sail the yacht. I think it would be great for Anton to get the charter from the friends of George and Mimi Fenton. I think the idea that Anton has about going to Vancouver, Canada is probably a smart one, for one thing no one would ever think to look for the yacht anywhere on the course he wants to go. This was a great chapter, I loved it all, the story just seems to get more involved with the characters as they deal with the things that are being thrown at them.

I hope that the box of documents from Neale and Jedd's father's business doesn't contain anything that would say that Mr Willis was hauling anything illegal. I hope that the Sr Constable can answer any questions about why someone is trying to get inside the yacht. Something just isn't adding up, first of all shortly after Suzanne and the boys left for Australia the house burns then the guys go and clean out the storage unit and Anton takes a box of files pertaining to Willis Transport Company, then some people try to break into the yacht. Anton's order to Simon about preparing to get underway as soon as possible was right on especially when his stomach is in knots after the people were caught trying to break in to the yacht. Great chapter I can't wait for the next chapter.

This was another great chapter, I'm glad that Neale & Jedd met with some friends that they had while their dad was still alive. It was very nice of the principal of the school to allow for Neale and Jedd to attend classes while they were already at the school after the assembly. I'm surprised that they had given tours to about 240 people which the senior constable said was about a quarter of the population of Dunedin. Then after all the tours were over and Anton and Simon were at the jetty loading the tables and the gazebo another group showed up at the jetty, who brought picnic lunches for everyone since they figured that they probably didn't have a chance to eat during the tours. The last group of people turned out to be the best friends of Neale and Jedd, and they got more than just a tour, they got to go sailing on the yacht. Anton's got a new person who is in love with sailing the yacht, actually taking the helm.

I truly hope that the boys can get some closure with everything that Anton is doing to help them. I think the trip to the school, is going to be fun for Neale and Jedd as they'll get to see some of their old friends. I'm not sure what Anton is thinking about school, I haven't figured out if he's going to go to distance school or what he's going to do for the boys school. Maybe he'll see if they want to go to their old school again for the time that they're in Dunedin. I hope that this is a great trip for the four of them. Great chapter, I'm loving the story from the beginning and it just seems to get better as it progresses.

I hope Payne's dad will be ok, strokes can be just as dangerous as a heart attack. I'm glad that Ian and Adam finally got a chance to go on a real date, even though it was cut a bit short due to the emergency situation with Paynes dad having a stroke. I'm glad that Sasha was there to see that Ian needed an upgrade to his wardrobe,and she got it all done just as Adam got there to pick him up. Great chapter loved every word of it.

I hope this trip helps all three boys, Anton, Neale and Jedd. I also hope that Jedd & Neale are able to find closure from all that's happened in such a short amount of time. I'm sure that they'll get to have fun while they're in Dunedin. I hope that there won't be any difficulties with the sale of the ranch if that's what they decide to do. I wish all four of them the best of luck with the time they have to spend in New Zealand. I hope that they can see lots of cool stuff that is of interest to them all. Great chapter, I'm glad Jasper has decided to stay in Jurien with Anita & Nathan, doing day charters on the Frontier, while Anton, Simon, Neale and Jedd are on The Last Resort.

I think Daniel is very sensitive and after he and Carlos had sex, I think Carlos was trying to give Daniel some space to get to the point where he could do it with Carlos on a regular basis. I hope that Toby & Carlos can find a way to make sure that Daniel is protected and feels comfortable with Carlos on every level of their relationship. I'm afraid if it doesn't happen soon something bad is going to happen to Daniel. I'm glad that Daniel was able to open up to Toby about things and that Carlos heard part of what was said and then Carlos spoke up and said he wasn't going to ask Daniel to leave at all. I'm going to have to wait for the next chapter to see what happens next between Carlos and Daniel. Great chapter.

I loved the way you did this last chapter. I hope you do a second story about Mitch, Angela, and Tom and their great adventure in the United Kingdom. I'm happy for Mitch and the family, and I'm not surprised that Mitch got the promotion to Warrant Officer and the awards he received from the Brigadier. I hope that Mitch, Angela & Tom are able to start their new lives in the UK without any problems with other contacts Dean Linton might have. When Mitch goes to the new posting what happens with his dreams of going to the fire training Academy?

Will's birth mother is a piece of work, she seems to think the world owes her because she is alive. I'm glad that Patrick and Mr Wright are going to be a family and that it's only a temporary placement as they work to make it official that Patrick becomes the legal son of Ian Wright. I'm also glad that everyone came to show their support for Patrick as he is asked to go to John's office to talk about everything that happened to Patrick as he was in the system. Two of my three sisters were in foster care system for a few years. This is really a great story I've read somewhere before that the characters seem to take on a life of their own. I'm reading this for the second time and I'm enjoying it as much as the first time and liking it more than that at times, this chapter was one of those times.

Foster children are like that a lot as well, I've known people who are supposed to be caring for the children in their home only they're out for the money they get from the state for having the children in their homes. The children are the ones who suffer the most because of the abuse of the system and not enough workers to keep track of the kids.

I loved the chapter. I'm so so glad that they finally caught Dean Linton in the act of trying to kill Angela & Tom even though they were on a secure military training facility. I'm glad that Dean Linton and his friends are spending the rest of their lives in prison for all the crap they pulled. I'm happy for Mitch, Angela & Tom as Mitch has agreed to be her husband and a father to Tom. I'm glad that they kept the wedding small just family and a few friends from work. I think Mitch was very surprised to see the Brigadier and a full bird Colonel along with the Lt Colonel, Warrant Officer Mike Owen's, and the three corporals who were with him for the planning and start to the cadet training that was interrupted and moved to Irwin Barracks where they finished the cadet navigation training. I can't wait for the last chapter to see if Mitch continues with the army or goes on to the fire training that he wants. I wanted to know what happened to the cadet captain who thought he didn't have to listen to the orders issued by the CO. Great writing I hope to see more of your work in the future.

I loved this chapter. I believe Mitch has done real well taking out three of the gang members who were after Angela & Tom. I hope that Mitch doesn't wind up with nightmares over this shoot to kill order and execution. I'm glad that Angela & Tom are now safe and that Mitch's aunty Jean will be get picked up very soon and taken to Irwin Barracks until the last of the gang members are caught. I'm also glad that they were able to get the cadets and their officers taken away from Bindoon as well for their safety as the gang members are armed with high powered rifles.

I think it's kind of underhanded for Vic & Rita to steal Kirk & Leon back after practically begging for them to stay with the yacht. Anton's nice enough to allow them the leave for holiday before sailing to New Zealand for his brothers to visit with friends as they don't know when or if they'll get back there. In a way I don't blame Kirk and Leon for wanting to stay that's where their lives have been mostly. I hope that Anton and Simon's friends will want to work on the yacht full time.

I believe you're right about the obstacles in their path, I also think they will overcome those obstacles.

Another great chapter full of suspense. I hope that they proved their point with the broadcast. I think it can backfire on them as well as help. It's going to be interesting to see where this leads them. I like how Devon proved that vampires have a soul, by placing the cross behind dragon then taking it out and showing the camera and Dragon that the cross wouldn't hurt him or any religious artefact for that matter.
