...................Okay, this explains it, according to a Russian Coach the gays are to blame. Damn we have so much power!!!!

............. I think the goat mentioned getting the coast guard involved, but technically they are law enforcement, as they patrol the waters off the coast for lawbreakers (drug smugglers). I fear that Lisa will have her honeymoon ruined by Bridget I wonder if they will even make port before getting chased by a crew of Bridget's people. Yep, that 30-06 should come in very handy as it's reach far surpasses that of AK-47's and with armor piercing rounds I can see the boat speeding too quickly allowing Trevor time to send rounds into the boats bottom as it crashes up in the waves during the chase. Maybe a lucky shot at the driver also, it wouldn't take long for the boat to slow down as it sinks. Perhaps time to waste another Ice chest? And change the honeymoon plans, Bridget is such a bitch to ruin Lisa and Joel's honeymoon!

............ I have to agree with your and Winemakers assessment here, I guess I playing into Bridget's countdown of the wedding vows. Yep, there most certainly be a bloodbath. So she and Jefe have hatched this plan to take the heat off of them because of the tape.

...........No I disagree here, Bridget wasn't trying to blame the other cartels for the attack, instead she wanted to show them her power in response to the dis-closers of the tape being made public. A massacre of the offenders could be a bold and menacing message to the other cartels not mess with them, however a failure would be a sign of weakness, and retribution would be likely from the other cartels. So Bridget has laid this all on the line here and would most likely be running for her life, until she resolves this little problem!

.................'Intense moments at chapters end'

...................Hahaha! Steve, so true, so true!

................. I'm pretty sure Bridget outwitted Gonzales in the location switch and her 12 gang bangers are at the 2nd location. She has been using the Credit Card information rather effectively, and it strikes me odd that Gonzales didn't see this coming.

.................. Great chapter, but I wonder if Bridget's bloodbath will go the way she has planned? "The three FBI agents, posted at the room’s three entrances, stood guard. They were the only law enforcement officials of any kind within miles." Makes you wonder if any of the civilians are armed at the wedding, like the grooms and brides dads, grandpa and maybe even Trevor and Shane. The assault team of Bridget's consist of 12 gang bangers, right now outnumbering the agents four to one.

.......I very much doubt that CJ will leave us with a cliffhanger at the epilogue, he intends to end this saga leaving a cliffhanger would make the assumption that he intends to do a sequel, after more then two and half years I doubt that would happen. Or could considering the situation here, nope this has to be resolved right now otherwise, Trevor and Shane will be forever in danger.

...............Hopefully it won't need to take all of the nine lives here, maybe Trevor will lose one life in his battle with Bridget, but still come out on top. I still see the eventual pursuit by a power boat towards the Atlantis, with Trevor using the 30-06 to take out their belly and maybe inflicting damage to the driver and engines, leaving her adrift and sinking.

Try egg foo yong, easy Depends how many your are serving, take about a half pound of fresh bean sprouts, sliced a little a green onion sliced thinly and if you want to add pork, small cubed pieces of pork. Cook the pork until done. Add 2 battered eggs to a large bowel, add sprouts and onion and mix. add pork pieces and mix then fry the mixture in large spoonful's 3-4 inches in width until golden brown on each side, set aside and keep warm. Sauce: In a pan add 1/4 cup of vinegar, add 1/8 cup of cornstarch, mix ad 1/4 cup of water, mix add a bit of soy sauce, mix when it turn dark brown remove from heat. Serve the patties and sprinkle the sauce on them! For more then 2-4 double the reciepe

..............Okay, what if after securing Joel and Lisa back to Gitmo, they set sail immediately and head for Jamaica, and Bridget is caught off-guard and sends in her troops for a target that isn't there. The US responds to the fleeing boats with fighter jets and kills off more then half of Bridget's forces if not all. Even the one amoungst equals could not save her from this catastrophe, she would have to make the move herself and follow through to kill Trevor and destroy the tape. Would the rival cartels really care about the knowledge of the tape? Or would they just be glad to have heard of it. This is were I see the 30-06 coming into play for the final solution to Bridget aboard the Sea Witch, ah the warm waters of the Bahamas and a little blood to mix in the water of a fast sinking boat. My thoughts!

..........It is Jack Scribe, one part in the trilogy describes the boy coming to Vegas in a greyhound bus. Desert Sands

..................The honeymoon designation has been changed to Gitmo, probably by Gonzale's and Lisa & Joel's fathers. Bridget's people only need to do a strike and run mission, their primary target is the Atlantis. "I’ll also be picking you up to take you to the naval air station for your flight the day after tomorrow" said Commander Swarzt, clearly the wedding is in a couple of days now. Then this: "Did Trev have much to say about where we’re going after they pick us up?” “No, he didn’t; he said he couldn’t over the phone. All he said was they were taking us to a really great, well-known place, that’s totally safe. So now we don’t know where we’re going for either the first or second half of our honeymoon,” It looks like Gitmo will be the honeymoon spot that they will be able to talk about for years to come!!

................Whatever the demonstration Bridget plans it will be a quite the display, now that she knows that Trevor and Shane are at gitmo. It wouldn't surprise me that she does attack gitmo, so much for the low profile of the cartel. I would hope that the Atlantis is well protected, after all she went through it would be a shame to get blown up. Now, I'm thirsty for a cold Colombian beer!!

................Fitting punishment for Micha'el & Gabe, but will they still look like a couple teenagers? If so, who will take them seriously? Hahaha, great chapter, kinda of surprised about the need of guns of angels also.

Please post CJ I have already have three readers bitch at me! And lay off the Doritos (wondered if anyone besides myself saw that super bowel commercial). Looks like another cliffhanger tonight folks, the chapter won't be posted until tomorrow.

.............At this point in the story, I have only one concern of it, that anybody that has viewed the tape is marked for death by the cartel. So says the narrator, we all know know that Trevor and Shane have seen the tape. But the only one that truly believes that they did is Bridget, and she cannot be so sure either. Nothing was leaked to the American authorities about the tape except to Gonzales, and of course Tittle. So far nothing back to the Australian people either, interesting that the narrator was specific, but said IF IT WERE KNOWN that he tape was viewed by others they would be at risk of death. So far nobody else knows besides Trevor and Shane except Gonzales and Tittle yet they only heard the audio. If the cartel is aware of the safety deposit keys and the 'tape' is found in one of them, who will they believe? Courtesy of the Feds, leaking information.Xavier, is not in Bridget's court II believe, and will not help her out. So I eagerly await the next chapter!

.............. I have another chicken recipe for the more experienced adventurous! Chicken Marango............. a recipe made in honor of Napoleons victory at Marango a few hundred years ago, so decimated was the countryside after the battle the chief cook could only come up with chickens, butter, eggs, sugar, garlic and tomatoes. So he came up with this: In a pot on very low simmer butter add crushed garlic, when the garlic is almost invisible, take it off the heat. Fillet chicken breast into 1/4 to 3/3 of an inch thick. put the fat and bones into another post and boil to make broth (at least 2 or more cups after retrieving the fat and bones) take the broth off the heat crush the tomatoes (or better yet either buy them canned either crushed of petite) 18 oz is preferable for two people, 24 oz or more four. Put the butter and garlic mixture back on the stove and add 1/4 cup of the broth and the entire can of the tomato mixture, simmer, periodically adding an 1/8th cup of sugar and stirring it. The sauce is the secret to the recipe, as it can take a couple hours to break down the tomatoes to a sweet sauce. The rest of it is easy, simply fry the chicken breast after flouring them and dipping them into the whipped up egg mixture, until cooked, golden brown on each side, set aside and keep warm. When serving place the breast on the plate and add a scoop of the sauce. 2 people - 2 eggs whipped 1/2 cup of flour sauce 2 -people 1/4 stick of butter and 3 crushed garlic cloves. After initialing adding the broth in 1/4 cup increments continue to do so while the sauce cooks to prevent sticking on the bottom of the pan. I have added croutons on the plate and sprinkled the sauce over it added the fillet and topped it with the sauce, served with your favorite cooked greens and salad. Double the ingredients for more then 2 people. Cheers!

...............For the novice I offer a quick easy chicken recipe, I usually buy all my chicken breast bone in, and do my one filleting. If you don't know hoe to fillet, buy boneless chicken breast. For two, double for four: Cut the breast in half so you have two large fat pieces In a bowel add a half cup of both mayonnaise and1/2 cup of grated Parmesan cheese, mix it and drop int the raw chicken and coat well, in another bowel have a 1/2 cup of seasoned bread crumbs, roll the chicken in it until it is covered. Bake at 350 for at least 25 minutes, Check to see if the bottom is turning brown cooked (P.S.line that cookie tray, you use one with aluminum foil mayonnaise has a lot of oil and tends to seep out a lot) Serve with your favorite green veggie!

Wine when used in cooking does not have to be cold, in fact reds need to air out to expound their flavor.

............. The doll was a ruse, a false lead as Arnold explained, the unexplained hinges are a mystery though, perhaps to indicate that some clue was hinged to something else? Yes, it was mentioned that there could be other clues, but most were destroyed when Bridget's house went up. What is Arnold had added a safety deposit key to the ones Trevor found that he paid a lease for twenty years, what if he added a 2nd tape to that? Those keys were never really discussed afterwards, other that he sent them to Jim and his father.

................I agree that the Hagis recipe is still another clue, why else would Arnold include it?

.............Off the press???? I thought she was carving it out in stone!!

.....................That did bother me when I wrote what I did, and tried to justify it being Bridget's muse and not the moderator in the story here. I was 99% sure that this saga was not going to have sequel, so Trevor and Shane's destinies must be laid to rest here, the goat is not going to kill off his heroes, and Bridget deserves a death worthy of the story. Perhaps a well shooting Trevor armed with a 30-06 weapon manages to sink a boat in warm shark infested waters with Bridget at the helm. Another thing is I think Xavier is not aligned with Bridget as she thinks he is, I think he aligned with the upper cartel members. Xavier is reporting to them in all aspects of Bridget's adventures, with Xavier in charge of the training of the new troops which can be easily be taken OUT of Bridget's hands, giving her her goal yet a false hope of securing her reign in the cartel. So my thoughts are really how do the kids get out of this mess? The simple solution is that they are not really involved in it, Gonzales does not trust the department, so what if was leaked that the original tape was found by the FBI, not Trevor. The only one that would suspect it was not true would only be Bridget, as she started this mess only to implicate Trevor's father to take the heat off her murdering Arnold. My thoughts!
