......Thanks, looking forward to it!

.................Glad to see another chapter from you, it was nice and poignant. Jacob's father was a worry from me but it seems he has calmed his inner demons down, that was my biggest concern! Jacob and Kyle are still on track, even though Kyle lashed out at him for being insensitive towards Thomas. Thomas is still a mystery here, a str8 guy just doesn't try and kiss another guy, and the fat that he chose another gay kid, seems to speak volumnes. So I think Thomas is probably a closet case here, damn as if he doesn't have enough problems already. Great chaper!

............Okay, I have been wracking my brain out trying to figure out a way for our heros to reach safety, my original assumption was that the island would protect them enought to escape west or southwest and I dismissed the island landing. Dean broke down to a cat 4 upon Jamaica, so is it possible that the counterclock winds are further decreased by the island, could Atlantis sailed by Trevor make it to Black River Bay? Perhaps even going up Black River itself; see map ................ http://www.caribbean-on-line.com/jm/jmmap.shtml It is shelterd a bit from the south, could he run in to it if the island taking the brunt of the storm diminishes the brunt of the winds from the east? This is also the only way I could see Atlantis surviving with the gold Trevor will need to rebuild his beloved Atalantis again. It is going to be pretty tough to tie in all the loose ends to this story in another chapter, you have the Austrialia connection, the cartel, the Florida connection, the medical problems of Trevor and Shane, and of course the current problems facing our heros. The problem I see is that he is racing west, which gave me the idea of him making it out of the storm via the islands obstruction of the winds, and his speed is better in that direction, but then I thought what if the ideal conditions outlined he turned north and east and could make landfall?

...........Humm, I got to wonder if as the eye approaches the island will the island block the high winds, enough to calm the waters so that Trevor can make his escape to the west or southwest? It is either that or making landfall while in the eye, and I don't see that happening, if the tracker is right, the eye looks to skirt the island. So the only way I can see out of it, is if the island rescues the Atlantis from punishing winds enough for them to escape. The other problem I see is those boats that were dispatched to the SW of the storm and survived, will they pursue Trevor? Or have they lost the stomach for this fight after hearing about Trevor taking out Bridget and the number one? Without a Capo on their boats and no way to communicate until the storm passes with the others on the island. Of course this is only if Trevor uses the VHS with the overhead plane, thus alerting the other cartel boats. I would imagine even against the odds of survival, the US has launched a ship to the area outside the storm of course, especially since they have spotted her moving west on her own power, the plane above can give Trevor readings of the storm as it passes the island while he is still in the eye. Frank has given the Norte Cartel a green light on Bridget's remaining cartel. Boy is the press going to love this one!

...........I have another take on it, yes Bridget is dead but it was an unsatisfying death in my take on it. She only exprienced a short time of torture, from what she has delivered to others, her anguish was sort and sweet compared what she imposed on others. I was not sated to her demise here. The fact that Trevor can maintain speed to match the hurricane, I thought maybe he could make landfall while in the eye of the storm and escape the wrath of the backside. It seems that Frank Tittle has already used up a promissinary note to evacate the crew from another cartel submarine. This is a chance he takes, but given the 'perks' the other catel can get, I'm sure Trevor and crew are safe. Nice chapter, long overdue but well worth it! Cannot wait for the finish!

.............."Welcome to Hell", "Hells Gateway" there must be a couple dozen he could use!

........................Well, I'll be damned or I'm hellbound!

...........Yep, I promoted that scenrio already!

.........Possibly a fishing trawler caught up in the storm comes acroos our heros, but that would lead to a non-conclusion of the battle with Bridget and Trevor. Nope this battle needs to be completee here in it's entiriety, no I see the battle being finished in this next chapter, with Bridget coming out the loser. The final chapter being relief for our heros and maybe some relief from the cartle, which maybe to busy fighting of the other cartel to bother with them anymore. Afterall the news is out and the other cartel is aware of it, they might welcome the facts brought before them from Trevor as they engage in the cartel trying to kill him.

............My take of it is that the storm itself will push this floandering ship to the side, much like a tornado would do to a flower in the wind. The storm track if I remember right is heading NE, our heroes are at the the outer edges of the SW, the winds and waves would push them more westward out of the more destuctive nature of the storm. My 'guess' is that Bridget also turned west to avoid the impact, and after the storms passing decided to look for the Atlantis as her blood is still boiling from Trevor's taunts. She is now alone as all three of her crew are dead as well as including the number one of the cartel. I have an idea what happens next, but will leave that to others imagination.

.............I think I like the idea that it is Joel, and Shane resucutetes him, when coming too tells Shane that he is a better kisser then Trevor!! .....Really blame Emoe? I thought it was "Finding Emoe"? Patience is a vitue, but dammit I want to kill a goat!!!!

..............My are you young and naive!! I've been following this goat for years, and believe me he would do such things!!

........Not fond of Drill Instructors, lived with a stp-fater one for five years, not nice....not nice at all. Left home at 16.

.........Opps! Now you may done it!!

...........Since my assumptions are not good, I'm betting he takes the late Monday night route, as far as his silence? The Talon and Frog may have him hunkered down from the cliffs!!

.................... Low Flyer stated today that the chapter is ready and could be out at anytime.

.............Nope this saga will come to an end, there is no way he can do a sequel to it. I never imagined back 3 years ago he would keep this story up for this long. He wants a perfect ending that only the goat knows how to do somehow! I do suspect there may be one more chapter after this one, then the epilogue. Too many loose ends in here to fix in one chapter, such as the cartel and Trevor's tape mix, which the goat stated that anyone that has seen the tape of Arnold's was marked for death.

.........Eat less, sleep more, and not worry about my problems as I sleep. I fantasize instead and sleep overcomes me. I purposely do to the latter to escape my problems but get a good nights sleep during the night. I have recently brought my weight back up from where it was at 160 and where I went down to 110 back up to 140.

...........Great chapter!! Devon seems to be an interesting character, I guess he will in need of a boyfriend soon. Is there going to be trouble on the? The safe rooms seem to forbear some sort of drama coming forth.

............Good question? But the reality is that you are holding the reigns in this story, I guess i would like to hear more of the two main characters and the aftermath of the assault, don't get me wrong the love scenes are great but seem to bog down the story. Not like I'm expecting anymore drama in this mini-sequel, but so far there seems to be no plot forming.

..............OMG! What a funny end to the chapter! I kinda hate these short chapters, as they don't reveal a lot in the progression of the story. It is almost like reading a story at a stop light and it ends at the next stop light. Good to see another one though Q-man!

.........................Aha, Eric my favorite cretin in FTL, that little sociopath should provide some real entertainment. However. I'm a bit clueless how the goat is going to accomplish this! Eric is wanted in the state where Steve and Chris reside in for amoungst other things, shooting the Sheriff (but he didn't shoot the deputy)

........Yea Louisville!!!!

..............I'm sure it will appear tonight @ 10pm EST

........... Well I'll be damned, another chapter!!! LOL! Interesting, that his dad blew up like that and hurt his kid, in front of a witness no less at that. This time the abusive nature of his father is going to end and haunt him. I suspect that his mother has been saving money for a college fund for him for years and he will be able to attend college. Great to see another chapter, hopefully I will live to see another!
