Very good chapter. And it was a carrot dangling for the next chapter. I think we all want to be a fly on the wall when Brad, JP, and Stef attend classes with Will and JP with Marie. Claire hasn't been in the public eye like them so she probably won't be recognized. Is Nils going to end up in bed with Will later tonight? Is Travis going to end up on the casting couch? Probably won't be in the next chapter, but probably the one after when Will goes back to see Travis and to support JJ. Can't wait until the next one!

Another great chapter @P. E. Knapp I agree with ReaderPaul it seems most things are coming together. Marc seems to question if it was all Adam's fault or maybe his on understanding him. He may be mellowing out some. Can't wait until next chapter. Thanks again.

I bet Thors family is going to blame his deciding he is gay on influences from Will and Stef. I don't know if they knew about the makeover of the dorms but will see the drastic changes since they dropped him off. Everyone knows that Stef is one of the richest men in the world is gay and I guess most everyone knows Brad is too. They left their innocent little boy at school and Will made him ga. No if ands and butts about it. Well maybe Will butt really did turn him gay.

Me too!! Tough lady!

It seems everyone is headed in the right direction. Whether the wheel falls off is another matter. Let's hope not. Thanks @Mark Arbour

I agree with you on more is needed on who and why the attach was made. If it is found out that the ones that attacked knew Mark's Grandparents and Adam were there in person with Evelyn and it was their intentions to take them out so it would weaken the divide the corporation. That might lesson Marc's hurt a lot. Knowing their intent was more for the lives of his loved ones than the damage at the base. Evelyn knows she has a traitor there. Knowing it was more of an act of war, than just some pirating and poaching on their minerals and claims should ease a lot of his pain.

I am now caught up. Waiting on the next chapter please!

A lot of questions answered in this chapter. Thank you @P. E. Knapp

Great chapter. @P. E. KnappI was just about to type all caught up, and I just got notice that you had posted chapter 17. Good timing.

Yes Sir! Great Story!

Great chapter with lot of excitement!

For have loved the music of Zorba for years. Like watching groups doing the Greek dance. One of my favs of it was in a movie with the Great Anthony Quinn in "Zorba the Greek" Thank you @P. E. Knapp for bringing up Zorba in your story. A very good story!

I hate it, but I have to go to bed. Busy day tomorrow and it 12:30 AM Eastern US time. Wish I could read a couple more chapters tonight, but all good things have to wait. Thank for what you do. you are appreciated @P. E. Knapp

I love long stories with many chapters and multiple books. When looking for a story on GA, Nifty, or any other story site search for the long ones first. Excellent chapter and story.

Stef needs to call Bellona and jump her ass about not addressing with the press the lack effort of TSA in securing the Terminal to start with. If that one door not being secured shut down the entire exhibit TSA should be called out for not being able to secure one door. All they had to do the rest of the night is have a security detail standing in front of it until it can be locked. Did I just dream it that Bellona works for Stef? All she has to do is step up and support JJ in the fashion world and the art people will fall right in line too. Great chapter Mark!

I would take all odds on it being Will's investment company he has formed. California Will Schluter. "CAWS" He seemed to be very impressed with the jet copter service and wants to get in on it. And I know he was impressed with electric vehicles in another chapter. He also tried to get Stef to invest in Facebook at the very beginning. I think Stef did but at a higher price than the initial offering. "I had to admit that this jet copter was pretty cool. It was like the one I’d taken to Bristol, Connecticut, when we’d gone up to see Carullo. I relaxed into the soft leather chair while I typed away on my laptop. The phone rang, with the pilot alerting me that we’d be landing in 20 minutes, so I put my stuff away, grabbed a Pepsi from the fridge and gazed out as New York came into view."

It's getting better and better as it goes. I don't think Mark is going to get a lot of personal mining done in the future. I see him being the face of a huge enterprise.

Really like this story!

Old man! LOL!

You are a day younger than I am. Your just a baby! LOL!!

We are about the same age. I was born in Oct. 57

Great chapter. I'm dizzy from all the jumping.

@P. E. Knapp I am just old and senile. I told you a few weeks ago in one of your comments on Mark Arbours "Freshman Year" that I had never read any of your stories and was going to give you a try and I read "Tragedia Et Amor" then I read "Dances with Whales" yesterday and I have enjoyed both. When I went to find something else of yours to read I see you wrote "Love on the Rocks" I had already read the first 3 of the "Westward Confederation Series" I knew your name looked familiar but I thought it was from your comments on other stories. So I was already familiar with you. Great job. Keep up great work.

I do hope you drop in on these guys in the future. Good story!

Interesting chapter. Looking forward to the next one.
