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.

I loved college partying! Another great chapter! I hope there isn't a major cliff hang after next weeks trip back to Tribeca and also to Fuego. That is the stalkers home court.

I am glad Orion's leg wasn't shattered. Things could have been a lot worse for him. Quinn is stepping right up. Seems like a very smart guy. Looking forward for more.

Another great chapter!
