It's tim's story... he's the one who gets to decide. Plus, I think it'd appropriate that Black call Andrew by his first name. He seems like the type who has a god-like superiority complex so by being familiar it sets the tone that he knows he's the one in charge.

Starkly honest words from Mr. Black. He is obviously a businessman who has taken advantage of an extremely niche market. He knows what he does is not morally or ethically right. He also doesn't care. His attitude makes one wonder what happened in his life to allow him to get to where he's at. Excellent chapter, my friend.

They are a great couple.

I enjoy throwing little Easter eggs into my story.

Probably, although I suck at chess and bungee jumping would have to be for a reeeaaaaalllyyyyy good cause. I think I'd prefer skydiving over bungee jumping... at least I'd be strapped to someone else who knew what they were doing.

Nice try. Maybe if you have your groomer clip your nails you might be able to type better.

Who is this Kane you keep referring to?

Excellent build up to the upcoming auction, tim. Would I go to such lengths for a story? I'm not sure. If I knew that it would make a huge difference... maybe.

I completely agree.

Nash is a good one!

I'm sure it'll come back to you. It's always nice revisiting old stories.

Welcome back!

I think he meant "No Dogs Allowed"

Steer clear of New Jersey @Mikiesboy

Sounds a little Nightmare on Elm Street-ish. Here in Florida it is currently 85 and its overcast. We're supposed to get some thunderstorms today so it's overcast. That should keep the temperature in the low 90s. But it's humid... ick. I hope everyone has a good day!

Noted, Sir!

Sequels can serve a purpose if they're planned out from the beginning. Take Harry Potter for example... each book covered a specific year of Harry's schooling, yet each was a completely different story in addition to building the world she created. Sequels that exist just because the franchise wanted it go off the rails... take Star Wars for an example. They should've stopped after Return of the Jedi but once the almighty Mouse got involved, greed took over. I enjoy having characters cross over and make an appearance in another story, but they're not the feature. Its like running into an old classmate... you smile and say hi, maybe exchange some pleasantries and then move on. The only series I did, I didn't want it to be three stories from the same character's perspective. Each story featured a different main character pair, but the plot itself built up within each one. It doesn't make sense to continue a particular story if you've covered everything you wanted to in the first one.

Sounds good to me... maybe I'll have Kage save the day... get these die hard readers off my back for killing him off.

Yes... there is an Irish singer Enya. But I have a character by the same name who can control fire. She's a badass.

Or maybe a collaboration..... what do you say @Mikiesboy?

Every great story inspires more questions than answer in the beginning. Otherwise genres like mystery and suspense wouldn't exist. It's a natural conclusion to think that Andrew will buy Matt, but that may or may not be the case. There are so many directions in which this story can go. It's a true testament to tim's writing that he's inspired all these speculations. That's what makes a great writer.

I guess I deserved that after sharing work tales with you. 🤣🤣

Darn... I now wish I had suggested it.

I knew I should have bet on you when tim and I were discussing the fact that no one had suggested that.

When I first read this chapter it hit me hard. Humanity can sink to unimaginable depths. Dante, and anyone who has dealt with the type of life he had, should be applauded. To survive being on the streets or captivity takes an incredible inner strength. For those who manage to find happiness, they deserve it. I think Andrew is kidding himself: So, the only real danger, I feel, is if I do anything other than what they have laid out The man who runs the sex trafficking that he's going see is a sleeping dragon who should not be poked. I hope he comes to realize this. Another great chapter tim!
