I don't remember it having a second floor either. I it had the basement or sub level and the tunnel over to the workout center. And when they added the art studio up in the attic and I can't remember the young guys name the studio was for. He may have been one the guys that died with AIDS a number of years back. I wish we had a character key, or Cast of characters, or dramatis personae from the beginning of both CAP and Bridgemont series.

Wow! I didn't see that one coming. I thought it might have been Stef or Gregg, but Jake no. Really didn't know that he might even know Travis' Mom or any of the Buck's. Can't wait for the next chapter. Thanks Mark.

I live in Metro Atlanta (about 6 million people) and might be 25 miles away from my house on the other side and run into someone I know in a Restuarant, bar or shopping center. Happens quite often. I was at a festival downtown last year with over 100,000 estimated people at it and ran into 5 people I knew. 2 of them were together but the others were not. They may not be in the same classes together but may very well run into each other often on campus.

Interesting chapter. Would be great if there was some kind of paper trail or recording to prove all that Zach has heard about Curtis and Guy Fellowes. Curtis would make someone a good squealing bitch in prison. Thanks Mark. Keep up the great work.

Thanks Andre excellent chapter. Like everyone else, I get hungry from reading you stories. I looked up Newburg style sauces found it with made with sherry but not Cognac. I did find some Cognac sauce recipes that I like.

Thank you for the latest chapter Mark. Hoping you will release another Nothern Exposure chapter real soon too!

I was beginning to think I was caught inside some kind of time warp there for a little while. I was reading then got a phone call and thought I might have scrolled up while I was on the phone. Then I keep reading what I thought I had already read. Then read it again. Wow! Beginning to think I was crazy!

I hope JJ does have a stable good life in in NY and Mark keeps him there and only a small update about him once in a blue moon. Maybe someday in Book 50 of this series. I'm 65 years old and won't be around then by the rate this story is going in time. Another Great Chapter Mark. Keep up the great work!

But with Tavis's money he would not be broke. Easiest way to try to get his company back or start another endeavor!

I will take sloppy thirds!!! Another Great Chapter! I would think with all of Stef's and Brad's money they could bring up doubts in Buck's warrant for Travis. Just questioning it publicly should put a doubt in the system. With their connections they should be able to have a injunction delaying until after Travi's 18th birthday. Great Chapter! Can't wait for the next one!

Andre I have finally caught up to you. Loving this story. Can't wait for more. Keep up the Great work. You authors are very much appreciated!

Great story Andre. Looking at Google Maps it looks like there are some docks over at Le Port that are big enough big enough to accommodate Amira. Bassin Jules Caillet, its the middle bottom Bassin of Bassin Avenue Barbot. There boat parked at the bottom about 200' long and on the left side looks like it's 500 or 600' long. If I remember correctly Amira is about 160'. Might be a reason they can't use it. Looks like the upper Bassin is part military and part private for smaller yachts.

@Andre DelportAs I commented on @stlstagecomment. I do follow along on Google maps and was easy following your story. Except when they got to Arniston. "They sailed into Arniston just as the sun touched the horizon, and found the berth that they had reserved in a peaceful corner of the small harbour with three other monohulls, all but one deserted. Andrew and Darren had to leap ashore to tie them up, side on with inflatable rubber buffers to protect the hull from chafing on the quayside" On Google Maps, I never could find port or dock at Arniston. Was there one there that may have gotten destroyed by a storm. Or am I just overlooking it. It looks like an area for launching small boats or jet ski's but no dock that I see.

Like you I follow along on Google maps on all the stories I read. And visit the websites of some of the Motels, Restaurants, sites, ECT. It makes the stories a lot more interesting to me. And Andre does a superb job in detailing all of them. I hate it when there are fictitious cities or places. I do understand when it when an author uses a fictitious name like Andre did with his motels. Or when they use made up streets of a characters addresses, organizations, companies, ECT.

What a Great story. Like I told you Andre in a private message, it is hard to believe that this is your first story. You have a gift and I hope you continue to use it not only on this site. I think this story could very well be published. I can't wait to get started on reading Book 2. But that will have to wait its getting late and I have to work in the morning. Keep up the great work!

Great chapter Mark. Things are starting to get exciting. Amusing that JP is now plotting with Will on helping rescue Travis from his so called guardians. Eagerly awaiting the next chapter. I am assuming that JP and Will have one of the private planes at their disposal and that should help getting Travis out of England if Buck hasn't got the LA authorities getting Interpol involved. I doubt if he thinks Travis is out of the country.

I am sure he has something around with his DNA on it. They just have to think about it first then have the test run. I just wonder if there is any of Greg's DNA still around anywhere. Maybe he may have had one done for some reason in the past.

Quote from my post in Chapter 84. "And Stef would have known right off if he had ever slept with Miranda would have already have brought it up. He did say, “I do not know who Travis’s father is, but I must say that there is something very familiar about him,” Could his father be Stef's ex lover movie mogul that passed away, I have had a brain fart and can't remember his name. That may be why Travis looks familiar to them all." That was Greg that I had a brain fart about. Travis doesn't seem to have much of Stef's trait's or mannerism's , nor Robbie's that I remember of all that has been described of him so far in the story. I don't think there was a lot of detail of Greg back when he was alive of him for me to remember. But with more than one thinking that there is something very familiar about Travis. I still think he is Greg's son. And if it were proved thru DNA. I am sure Stef will turn over a lot of what he inherited from Greg to Travis. Wouldn't it be hilarious Travis being a very wealthy 18 year old and Curtis Buck being a broke asshole! Keep giving us these great chapter Mark!

And Will might find some hot males for Stef and JP too!. They do like 3some with hot younger guys!

I had a full day yesterday and didn't get home until late last night. I saw that Mark had posted a new chapter, but I was way too tired to read it last night. But made it a priority after I got up late this morning. Another Great Chapter Mark!! I really don't think Robbie is Travis' father. I thought all the Hayes male looks so much alike that it would have been noted a lot sooner thru the years. And Stef would have known right off if he had ever slept with Miranda would have already have brought it up. He did say, “I do not know who Travis’s father is, but I must say that there is something very familiar about him,” Could his father be Stef's ex lover movie mogul that passed away, I have had a brain fart and can't remember his name. That may be why Travis looks familiar to them all. But if Stef worked with Travis and he is on Stef's yacht, Will surly will be pissed, but knowing Travis was safe. He would probably explode on Stef for a little while, but then be over it soon afterwards. I am also worried about Will in NY with Buck being desperate to find Travis. I hope his security is beefed up. Buck may at least have him trailed. Can't wait to see what happens in next chapter. I just hope that JJ isn't so full of his drama and usual asshole self the period of time that Will is NY. If JJ is, maybe Will can bring him back down a few notch's like he did the last time he showed him with his "rags" friends last time him and Travis were there.

Short and Sweet! Thanks, look forward to your next one!

I think Caroline was just throwing a bluff out there and wanted to appeal to George's soft side to get some sort of settlement. But looks like it has backfired on her for the moment. George not responding to her is going to send a message for sure. Wow! A gift of a parcel of prestigious property next to Lord Spence, along with £150,000 to construct his new London residence. That is some gift for sure. Before George heard about the £150,000 , his mind was working away and he wasn’t sure he wanted to spend the £100,000 or so to construct something that would rival Spencer House. Now he may very well not only rival, but exceed his friends house. I know they will enjoy living next to each other. Thanks for the Chapter Mark. Keep up the fine work!

I was scratching my head trying to figure it out myself! With the math the US students have been taught the last few years. I bet they can solve it someway somehow!!!

Thank you. Didn't Tony Curtis have a kid with his last wife when he was on up there in years? And Frank Gifford had kids with Kathy Lee Gifford in his later years too.
