First one to call out the Easter egg gets bragging rights for the rest of the story.

Yes, Miles father is in jail. As is his mother. Neither of them will be getting out any time in the near or even distant future.

Damn. You guessed it.

I will drop a little tidbit. There is a smidge of foreshadowing in this chapter but it's extremely subtle. It'll be interesting to see see who picks up on it when it becomes relevant later on.

That Chevy will haunt me to my dying days. But you hit the nail on the head. Making a big deal over the money would distract from more important issues.

Eh... Be careful what you wish for.

Sadly true.

Miles will tell him. It's only fair as Miles knows that Troy has a trust too. Neither of which will be a big deal. Oh, and I lied. I think Miles trust gets mention 4 or 5 times, not once or twice. Still, not a major contribution to the plot.

I'm glad you're enjoying it. Yes, there are details that aren't important to the overall nature of the story and will get skimmed over. As far as this being a 'feel good story'......

You will need to tough it out until the boys turn 18. Descriptive spicy time for underage kids is still a hard no for me.

Aww, thanks. I just type what my brain tells me to. Most of the time it works out. When I started writing my skills weren't great. I took the advice of other authors and learned to be better. Its like anything else ..it takes practice.

Yep, I wanted the issue of his identity resolved before transitioning into the next several chapters. It didn't need to be hanging over their heads for much longer.

Miles worked on a farm in Ohio. It's how he earned enough money to buy his motorcycle. It was mentioned in the first chapter. His uncle probably would have changed the will if he lived. Who knows? Like I mentioned, its not an integral part of the plot. It becomes helpful later on, but it's not completely necessary.

Of course there are more hurdles. We're only on chapter 7. Who knows what was going through his uncle's head when he made his will? I sure as hell don't know. It's not important to the rest of the story. And how the hell did you miss the little Easter egg I dropped into this chapter?

His uncle was a POS, and money doesn't change that. He preferred booze over BMWs. Again, this is a transition chapter for Miles. I didn't want to go into a bunch of legalities so I took a large bite of literary liberties with this one. Morgan is now Miles and I'm sure at some point they'll mail him his birth certificate with any other paperwork that he needs. I'm not going to dwell on it or even mention it again. Sometimes we just gotta go with the flow and this is one of those times.

I'm going to clarify something. The inheritance is not going to be a major plot point . It will have some significance later on, but it's not going to be a recurring issue. I think it gets mentioned once or twice from here on out. I could have eliminated it all together, but I like the rags to riches theme. It also served the purpose of highlighting the fact that Miles is still a kid. Thinks like a kid, acts like a kid. And kids don't always make the best decisions. The money isn't readily available to him as it is tied up in the trust. He can't squander it so he's not going to become a bratty trust fund baby. This chapter is a transition from Morgan to Miles. He's found stability for the first time in his life and doesn't want to jeopardize it. Don't get hung up on the trust. It's not a '55 Chevy. That being said, there's still a lot of chapters left for me to create all sorts of mayhem if I so chose. Hehe.

Really? That's all you got?

MILES I was nervous as we boarded the plane. I felt guilty, too. Because I didn’t have any ID with my real name, Mr. Riggs had to book my ticket using my stolen identity. Now that the truth was out, it didn’t feel right using Morgan’s name. It had never felt right. Mr. Riggs let me have the window seat. It was scary, yet thrilling to see the ground slip away so rapidly. I’d never flown before, so the whole experience was somewhat terrifying. Mr. Riggs’s presence was comforting and ste

I've been practicing my **insert any language where yiu is a legit word**

She's fine. She just had social stuff going on this weekend and she "worked" today.

Still don't have the chapter back from Gnomie. I don't think yiu guys will be able to tell the difference. I just have to format it so when I copy it to GA it comes out okay. GA and Google Docs don't always play nice in the sandbox together.

About 16 more hours, give or take.
