Chapter Twenty “Is that you, little bro?” he heard his brother calling for him. “Yeah, it’s me,” Jake spoke. “I’ll make you something to eat.” “With your cooking, I might be dead by next week,” Diaz joked. Jake helped his brother up on to his good foot and then guided him to the kitchen table. At least he knew how to make scrambled eggs. “How come you didn’t go running back to that asshole?” Diaz asked as he ate. “I’m no longer collateral,” Jake spoke as he fiddled

Thanks! For reading all the 19 chapters so far without giving up.
-
Wow, such a heartfelt comment ... There is plenty of growing up that needs to happen with the characters now, as for Jake being caught between Klaus and Diaz? Spot on, and it reminds me of the title in progress I had for this story before I decided Collateral was better Stay tuned, my friend.
-
Well, Jake is a hot-head ... Klaus was too focused on his own stuff, so, yeah, you're right, there's no better phrase than the one you used. "Caught in webs of their own making ...", beautiful summary of the entire situation. Thank you for your kind words, Hugs.
-
Hey, someone taking Jake's part! That's interesting! Thank you for the insightful comment!
-
Not only Jake has some 'growing up' to do ...
-
Yeap, exactly what you said in the edit And please have mercy on Jake ... he's young
-
Hope is always a good thing :))
-
words to the wise ... right there
-
:)) Diaz would be such a nice older brother, wouldn't he?
-
And here you have it, my dear reader, Jake's reaction. As for who will be the one with a bigger (and harder) head, that just remains to be seen. And you will see who will save the day, after all. That's it. I'm not saying anything more
-
Thank you for your kind words. They mean a lot. Ah, the story ... Well, don't hate me (too much). My lips are sealed for now, but I think you'll enjoy how this will unfold. It will just be a wild ride. A very wild ride Hugs!
-
Eh, I cannot say anything without giving spoilers, unfortunately. I hope everything will make sense when we'll get there. Thanks for commenting!
-
As I told Wes earlier, there is a 'why' behind everyone's actions. You will see when we reach that bridge. Thanks for the comment, as always.
-
Well, there is no action without a 'why', at least in fiction. All will be explained at the right moment!

Chapter Nineteen Summary: Creatures of habit. Jake stole a nervous look in Klaus’s direction, but the guy seemed as impassive as ever while reading his newspaper. “The gangs are kind of fighting,” he eventually managed to speak. The last few months had been like a fairy tale. Not that he believed in such things. But whatever was happening between him and this man he could no longer call a stranger pretty much seemed taken from a movie, the kind that was supposed to have a happy e

I just heard the news and I am here to pay my respects. She was my editor, too, and we interacted for a while over e-mails. I feared the worst when she no longer replied, but I just hoped she was going to get better and that I will just get an e-mail back with her saying that it was just an episode and that she was back on track. That e-mail never came. May God rest her soul.

Ha, ha, you're even harder to bring down than Klaus himself :)) I must find your kriptonite!
-
Oh, I succeeded! I made you like Klaus! Now let me get my diary and write it down as a huge achievement! Just joking, sorry :)) couldn"t help it. But it was really nice to read your comment!
-
Ah, sorry about scaring you. Yes, Diaz did have his fair share of suffering to deal with, and I am just so glad you noticed. Not that it excuses his behavior, but at least offers an explanation. As for what will happen to Diaz ... I think I will manage to surprise you
-
He, he, it was just an endearing thing to have Jake ask for the address. Let's just say that he had his head wrapped up in other things to care about details As I replied to another commenter, Jake's reaction will be the most important element to the events that will unfold. Thank you for liking the extras on Hans and Jake's scar. I always try to give all characters, even if secondary, enough flesh and blood to be more than just extras.
-
Ah ... what about Jake? That, my dear reader, is the crux of the matter. You will see
-
Well said! Klaus does know that dealing with the gangs has to be brutal, or otherwise it would not be effective. You practically summarized the entire chapter in a few sentences
-
He, he, Wes, I know you must have been curious ...

Chapter Eighteen It was a tad disappointing to wake up alone, but at least, he knew that he was going to be wrapped around the man again tonight, and the certainty of that thought was making him feel something, between a chuckle and something ticklish, right in the middle of his chest. His phone chimed from the nightstand, and he smiled as he read the message. “Time to start cashing in your hard earned money from the construction site. The foreman has your paycheck, pick it up from him.
