Thanks for reading, and for the feedback FanLit. There is true evil in this world, and the Turners are that. Evil. They are corrupt, morally bankrupt, and only care about power, image, and status. Chapter 6 will be the start of their fall, and it's completed! It's currently with the content editor now, and then I'll send it off to the editor number 2 for final technical edits.
@Myr Is this something, as writers, we shouldn't be doing? Tagging stories with multiple genres is what I mean.
Thanks to you and @A.J. for compiling this data for us.
Thanks for reading, Bft. Rob did tell Sylvia about the dream, I just didn't rehash it when he told her. But he did explain it as part of the whole week recap he did when they sat together. She was "under orders" from people above her, to remove Rob until the investigation was down. Yup, the PI was paid to keep a 24-hour watch on the place. Money talks, so you do what the client wants.
Agreed. While most gay authors like to talk about the evil Republicans, I like to be realistic and show that the other side isn't as lily white as some believe they are.
Will do tim. Thank a huge bunch for helping, with the content on this. I'm getting to a point, when I can self-edit, what I have. I think there is some filler stuff that could be cut out. Also, I don't think Kitt would like it either. LOL
Thank you, Kitt, for editing this chapter, and working on this project. You're a godsend!
I agree with you about the gate guards. I've met a few that I was glad they didn't have firearms.
Thanks for reading, and for the comment Kaimuki. You are right about how the majority of the shots were taken by the P.I., Mr. Turner hired. He set off over at the marina across the channel with a telephoto lens and took the pics that way. The bedroom shot was the only one where they had to trespass for.
Thanks for reading Wesley. Sadly, it's done. In the real world, people know how to play the system against individuals. FL DCF found out about the P.I. when word came in from MA DCF which is why they didn't question the nightvision shots when they got them. The Photoshop was really good, and add in the graininess of nightvision it's plausible.
I've talked to caseworkers, and a friend of mine was in foster care for 2 years, both within a group home and mainly with private families. Out of state. He said the group home stole all the toys he showed up with, so they could be used for all the other kids, once he left. Only three items he held onto. The caseworkers said, that Florida has a few, but they are mostly for older kids, with no family. Because our laws here focus on relatives first, there really isn't a need for them.
I'm currently working on the next one. I've kept each chapter between 4000- and 5000-words, to make it easy to read. However, that said, Chapter 6 is currently sitting at 3546 words, and I'm not even a quarter of the way through the prepared notes. I think this one is going to go beyond the 5000-word line and be in the 6000- or 7000-word territory.
