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.

I didn't realize Arnaud was anywhere near that age. I thought he might be tops early 70's. It hasn't been many years since Christian was married. I thought he was in his 20's then. But I don 't know if it was ever said how old Christian was when he married. I may have just assumed. Or Arnaud was still shooting very active quick swimming sperm when he was in his 70's. LOL!!! I have had some buddies in their early 80's that were horny old bastards, but do know if their sperm was could even swim any more. I hope Charles realizes right off that his life is only going to get a lot better now. I really am enjoying this story.

Another great chapter. Look forward to the next one!

Well written chapter. I like how Will has the respect of Grand, his Dad, and Jake that they really just stop everything to come to support him in times like this. I wish that Brad had added also besides what his group analysts had found, that he had found out from some "in the know" people information of who Travis' real father might be. My money is on Curtis' Dad. I just hope that Travis can keep safe until either he turns 18 or reinforcements appear at his side via Will's and his family help. Thanks Mark!

I am glad that Charles has not got a passport to go live in America. I bet his is soon going to be adopted. I hope it is a long time before he has to make the trip back to France. Would be great if Arnauld would at least stay strong as he has gotten since seeing the angel until the entire family comes back for their annual trip. Like that all the boys that have gotten to meet Arnuald can be at the funeral along with Armand and Colin.

I kind of thought you was. And also it made me think how funny it would be if she showed up pregnant again. You talk about a shunned and disgraced woman!

I think getting off the plane in LA would be the riskiest thing that Travis could possibly do to get killed. That would be where Buck would have his cronies looking out for him. I agree him going on Escorial and just staying there, or getting Jp's and Stef's input on best way for him to stay safe. Maybe letting Buck know that Travis has confided in some powerful people that he suspects he is in danger until he turns 18. And I am sure JP, Stef, and Brad can stress to Buck that they are also and have shared their concerns with other powerful judges, government officials etc, that they bump elbows with. If Buck knows his is in their crosshairs he may have second thoughts. Thanks Mark for another great chapter.

Very good chapter! Claire got fucked and seems to be in a good place. John and Marie seem to be in a good place. Brad admits him and Jake are in a good place. Now Travis on the other hand isn't. I kind of had the feeling a few chapters ago that Curtis Buck may not be Travis' real dad. Now I'm really feeling that he isn't. With Brad saying maybe he wasn't, means he may be doubting it too. I wonder if it may be someone we know. Or could Curtis own father may be Travis' real dad. Travis may have to confront his mom on some of what has been happening and press her if Curtis is his dad. If she see's that Travis may be in danger, she may fess up. But Travis need protection either thru his trust, or Will needs to see about getting it for him.

Great Chapter! I don't remember when Carl and Model Boy meet for lunch. I must have missed that earlier. I feel that the Bluebird with keep the 14 year old boy entertained and less lonely until Gabriel blows his horn. I think Arnaud is going to be very pleased with the painting.

I bet GG knew the boy loved Bluebirds and she wanted the boy to have something of his very own and put the idea in his mind. So I think the bluebird was for him. It is aways hard to know and see a loved one in their last days alive. It is even worse if they are suffering which Arnaud doesn't seem to be. He is just fading away and giving up. Maybe a solar panel somewhere around the mausoleum that is inconspicuous. Great chapter. Keep up the good work. You are appreciated CLJobe!!!

Great Chapter!!! I love the pizza analogy! I is so good to see Will and his dad enjoying each other and getting along. You can see that Brad is still a little nervous about some of what he says, trying his best not to rock Will's boat in any way. But they seem to be getting along very, very well. Claire seems to be getting some control of her situation. And seems to be enjoying her trip so far. This trip may be just what the doctor ordered. Travis may need to lay real low until after his 18th birthday. Will may need to arrange some protection for him also. Can't wait for next chapter. Thanks Mark!!

@KerridocIt is a a Great story. It was my favorite of all on GA for a long time, but the "Bridgemont" series by Mark Arbour has now taken over as my favorite. It has over 1.8 million words and is still going on. Another sea story, but more on a historical type story. If you haven't gotten around to it. I highly recommend it. You will not be disappointed!

I think it is a Great Idea for Claire and Brad and even Jake fly over for a day or two. for the spa and surfing. Hell wouldn't Suprise if Stef and JP might even come over for a quick trip with them and stay at a resort for a day or two. Marie points for Will to stay and go to school in the Bay area were some of my thoughts last week except I hadn't thought of the one about the Foundation. A really good point. Another Great Chapter Mark. Thank You!!
