I didn't hate that everyone figured it out. For a hot minute, I considered changing it, but then was like, naahh, too much work and besides, leaving it in the Chevy gave me many moments of amusement seeing you guys speculate. Snotshitwad. I might need to steal that word. 🤔🤣 Montana is not quite next, but pretty damn close. Tyler finding his mate? Do you really expect me to answer that? Let's hope Elijah learns how to actually listen to the voice.

Like geeK. 😘

Yeah... I doubt if I'll ever hit those numbers again for comments on a single chapter. Still a long way to go in this story and I'm glad you have no clue where it's going. Just how I like it! 🤭

Lid. Door. Like I tell my kids "you know what I meant!" LOL. I think I'll keep this error. It's quirky. Like me. Kage's boss never sent him a text saying to meet him in Crescent City. Only an address. It's up to Elijah to decide what to do with the information. I think Elijah wants to meet face to face so he can look the boss in the eye and gauge his reaction for himself when he drops the Trevor bomb. (If that's what it ends up being) The Road Not Taken is one of those classics most everyone ends up reading at some point in their high school English curriculum, at least here in the States and until someone decides they're offended by the use of the words "not taken." Why should one road be ostracized? So not fair. Lol🤣🤣

Exactly. Even with the extra sets of eyes, things get missed. Which is why I post live and don't schedule it. Plus, I have a real issue with commas.

It might take a little while longer, but not too long for Elijah to figure out the source of his inner voice. Subconsciously I'm sure he knows it, but his grief is still too raw. It won't be too much longer until we see the boys in Montana. Trevor.... I'm still on the fence whether or not he's too bright, or just plain stupid.

You have it. Now get to it before @astone2292 and @Danilo Syrtis start bugging me.

I know Elijah is mulling over all of the possible "What ifs". There's a lot. I think the meeting with the boss will be a little surprising. I also think you're right when you say the boss is more dangerous than we currently understand. Elijah and Tyler are going to have to rely heavily on each other the more the story progresses. The reasons will become clear.

I really need edits. Lol.

Best of Breed was a giggle moment for me too. See my response to Blue Fan Lady in regards to thr Montana gang. Elijah's grief will be processed over the course of time. He's still in the denial stage. It's all he can do.

Montana is coming. Elijah and Tyler still have some business to take care of first. Keep in mind, I've mentioned this before, Elijah really doesn't know the Montana crew all that well. He only spent a few weeks there. He's known Tyler almost his whole life and trusts him implicitly. They're used to relying on each other and and it's their default setting to turn to one another. Elijah doesn't realize how important the Montana shifters are in the supernatural world because until recently, they've only been on the outskirts if it. It's going to take a little time to build the connection between him and that world (Tyler by default)

As usual, I'm answering a few questions and bringing up a bunch of others. It is fun to see all the speculation. Things will get more complicated as the story progresses. Chapter 20 will give you guys some insights too. I guess I better get it over to @Mrsgnomie for some edits.

It took a lot of restraint on my part not to blurt out the fate of the laptop while everyone was speculating frantically. I deliberately wanted it to be anticlimactic. That's not saying that what's on it isn't important, but in relation to Kage's importance to Elijah, there had to be the stark comparison I hope I pulled off. The Chevy is going on the back burner for a while. Again, there's a reason and its restoration will eventually have a purpose. You're also right when you say nothing is guaranteed with me. 😉

There are quite of few directions this story can take. No matter what path they choose, it's not always going to be the right one. That's a given.

Great observations. While Elijah and Tyler still have a lot to learn, they are transitioning into the next half if the story where the dynamics change. They're going to have to learn to adapt. It won't be easy for Elijah to do that, and process his grief at the same time. He'll have to find an inner strength.

Elijah recited the code and watched Tyler punch it in the keypad for the outdoor storage facility’s security gate. The lock clicked and the iron bars slowly opened. As soon as there was enough clearance, they drove in and followed the signs for row K, passing each lettered aisle, one after another, until they reached the right one. One more turn brought them to door sixteen, the second to last on the right. Getting out, Elijah shut the door to the Jeep, undid the flap of the envelope he re

This is going to be a tough week. Mom went to the hospital yesterday. She wasn't eating or drinking. She refused to get out of bed and her mental status was altered from her usual dementia. This normally indicates a UTI. Sure enough, that's what the culture showed. However, she also tested positive for Covid, which I'm pretty sure she got from my SIL. I was supposed to stay with her 2 Sundays ago but my brother canceled because SIL was congested and had a fever. My brothers and I are in agreement that at 91, there aren’t many options that are feasible for someone her age. She's on antibiotics for the UTI and an antiviral for the Covid. She needs a little bit of oxygen occasionally via nasal cannula. There is a small area on her lungs that they are going to monitor for pneumonia. With her dementia there is a lot of risk with putting her on steroids and even more risk with anticoagulants, which are the other treatment possibilites. So we've said no to the blood thinners and are going to wait to see how she responds to the antivirals before trying steroids. We're just going to take it one day at a time.

While I believe in the reward system, my mind has been elsewhere today. My mom has been in the hospital since yesterday afternoon. She's tested positive for Covid. So far she's stable, but at 91 it's serious enough that we have to consider what treatment route to go. So far it's going to be one day at a time.

Would you think less of me if my birthday was on the 13th?

Someone besides me has to be 300.

All things to take into consideration. You know I won't comment on Elijah's role, or possible role in the next story. It wouldn't be fair. I need to get him through however long he has in this story. As far as shock value goes, I can't guarantee I won't shock anyone again and honestly, this is the first major character I've killed off in all of my stories. Have I maimed and mentally/emotionally/physically tortured? Yes. (Sorry Nash and Lyssa!) Kage's death was necessary. We all hate it, but what's done is done. I can promise a few more twists and turns in this story with another cliffie or two. I know you guys are invested and will see thus through. I promise it will make more sense.

I would classify all of you as "special". As in short bus special.

You've never heard of a Korner Kick?
