.........Sadly, I would agree with you but faced with testimonies from two students and backed by taped video, neither the prestigious school nor the bullies parents would want publicity if Daniel decided that more action was needed. Seems the those parents took the expulsions and ran instead. I would hope that even in less prestigious schools faced with such damning evidence would likewise submit.

................. So the summer vacation scenario sounds like fun! How can you hate a hospital after a scene like that? I knew he was going to get discharged, but didn't expect that . Okay, wasn't it just a few hours ago that the nurse's seemed to rush in if his heart rate monitor went up? Okay, so the good bye scene went very well, will see how he copes in his new home! Great chapter!!

.................. I too was disappointed with Aiden doing crack of all shit to do, ( I'm no saint, but drugs never did much for me its been about 30 years that I last took a hit of weed ) At least he realized that he was in no condition to drive and (T.G.) Jason took his call and rescued him (that really had to be a funny scene for Jason seeing a naked Matt holding up Aiden). I'm glad he realized while angry that by avoiding Aiden he let this situation unfold and now that his mother knows the whole truth and supports him, she was very disappointed in his actions years ago. Still waiting for the cops to make the discovery of the suspects, you know that one bird is going to sing. That is a lot of time to spend behind bars they are looking at kidnapping, drugging, assault and rape on a minor (speaking of which, I thought he was only missing 10-12 hours, not 4 days, did I misread something?). The best part of this chapter is the mending of Aiden and Jason as they finally start talking to each other. Now obviously going home for Aiden is not an option, he must spend the night at Jason's place. Great Chapter!!

.................... I agree, I misjudged Daniel however I did think his first thoughts were for backing up Bailey and his mother, however his good intentions when I questioned his orientation to avoid what was perceived as someone taking advantage of a grieving widow. Baliey will finally see this and stop being an ass. Declan just maned up and took the spotlight off of Bailey in front of everyone in the cafeteria, by days end all rumors will be stopped. I don't know how many chapters there are, but with distance and time (come Monday, Chris is gone) it doesn't sound like a lot of time for Eric to plan revenge as he is confined at school. Even if he does manage to out Bailey, no one will care, the school and teams will have his back, the student body will follow. Baliey's reaction was priceless as he realized he was going to be okay after all. I wonder what will become of Eddie? Great chapter!!

.............. I was kinda waiting for a big wave to hit them, good thing most were asleep. Thanks for an update chapter!

............ Well this is an interesting change of paced story.

......................Hmm, when is Anton going to look through those papers he found of his brother's father company? I can only assume that he is still in danger, thus so are all the crew.

.............Anton is justified in concealing the evidence that may or may not be found in the storage box belonging to his late step-father, even from an unexpected visit from the police. Something is very fishy here, and I guess we can forget about getting some lobsters. Again, intriguing ....so Anton and Simon are just friends and Sarah is looking for a BF? I have to laugh here but what part of gay authors did the premise of the main character being not gay did the author intend? Nice chapter!

............Well damn that was interesting! Billy might be holding all the cards but he folded rather quickly under Jack's threats. Actually Billy was pretty full of himself, he really should have gladly avoided that church, but I guess the confrontation was better to happen earlier then later. I didn't expect the 'fallout' to extend to both of the mothers of Brett and Billy who are not exactly candidates for mother of the year. The cabin does sound like a refuge and perhaps some reflection, I wonder just how much Billy's dad knows, he has been too quiet and I wouldn't be surprised to learn that if he knew everything going in that town, including David. Intense chapter!!

.....................Meanwhile I'm having suspicions about the boy's fathers death, the author again mentions the box of papers that pertained to the fathers business in this chapter. There must be some incriminating evidence against somebody, perhaps an associate or partner, and the fire at the house was suspected to be arson. And now the break in on the boat, there is just too many coincidences and it seems the box of papers is the key, perhaps to a murder! Great chapter!

................Well at least the elephant has left the room for now, I wonder whose image is more worth it? I think Aiden's dad is the one that needs a therapist. Another thing I assume his brother was sitting on the coach when Aidan arrived home and another making 4 people in the living room. You have to wonder what they know so far, if it was up to Samuel they would know nothing, but an intervention usually means everyone lnows what is going to be discussed. Great chapter!

.............. I'm wondering how well Devon will adjust to his new home, obviously he has Josh to show his around and introduce to his friends. But Devon has ten years of self-preservation by being introverted and invisible to people, that is going to be very hard for him to break out of his shell. Trent is going to be a mess for awhile and I don't see it for them to get together again, unless Trent has homophobic parents and they find out and kick him out. But I guess we first find out the reasons mamma 'Cindy' left like a thief in the night abandoning Devon in the first place. Great chapter!

................A very nice relaxing chapter, hmm maybe Anton can stock up on some lobster!

................Well, that was expected I hope Toby and Finn get on board with the new job prospect. The remodel job sounds that it was even better than Anton expected, (tradesman's love cash, as I recently know having shelled $3,000). So now we have the next stage of 'resolution'? For the two newly orphans Neale and Jedd, speaking of which how does the citizenship work over there down under? Will they become citizens by proxy of their late mom's in Australia? Nice cahpter, looking forward to more!

.................. Nice story, hopefully you will have a sequel planned for his continued journey in England.

..........Well, as long as we a wishing for a 'what happened scenario' I'd like to know what started Mitch's abrupt departure from the farm and school that started this journey. On that part I have to agree with what jaysalmn said '......being gay did not make you less of a person, also confronting the one that outed him'.

...............Agreed, but now if they are stupid enough to return the will all be captured dead or alive. That biker leader is not very smart trying to regroup at night, but troubling more is how much info he had on Mitch and his aunt, the only thing that I can think of is that those corporals that tried to frame Mitch still have a grudge and are feeding the bikers info. Then again there must be a gps device being used somehow in all this. Perhaps some com guy could do a sweep of Angela and Tom, their belongings and maybe even Mitch's vehicle.. Nice intense chapter!

.............Actually he was close to the southern ocean (he was about 47 degrees, just north of 50, whereas 60 degrees is considered to the southern ocean). Leon and Kirk will be missed but not irreplaceable, as Anton's school mates seemed to take their jobs in stride. I'm sure they could fit in just fine. There is one week left, that does not leave a lot of time to settle the affairs for his brothers, have the re-fit for the lounge area and sail back home. And there is the matter of how much progress his grandfather has made in re-hab. Great chapter!

...............Your chapters are flying by pretty quick, I almost missed this one favor 36, when I realized something was amiss and went back!!

................Teddy really is a coward when it comes to relationships, what is he really afraid of losing his popularity? It is not that he is not out already at school. It really doesn't make sense one word from Teddy could stop all the shit Ryder has been taking, yet he always freezes like a deer caught in headlights. His closet friends have warned and even threatened him. Ryder is trying to be understanding of him yet Teddy sounds like the coward of the county. Very disappointing, I wonder what will happen at the barn?

................Yep, of course about 2 hrs. after I posted that, I remembered his name!

............Of course I was only referring to intrusion on a military installation, an armed intruder found on a military installation would be shoot to kill always. I know from experience, although never had that problem stateside.

...................Hey Renee, Question, who wrote "The Log Way"?

.................. I mentioned that very scenario several chapters back, Dean seems to know her movements too well to be chance happening of a spy within the ranks of the military. Brass balls at this assault though, I mean F^ck he is sending his compatriots into combat he must also know that he is basically facing cadets, though shooting an active duty MP made no difference to him (in the states, they would be looking at DECADES in prison). The answer here is clear, kill Dean and lock up what is left.

..............Well, I was hoping that Simon would join Anton on this semi-private vacation. Maybe they can get some alone time in, and it is a good thing that another pilot is aboard for the long voyage. Great chapter!
