Great story, I loved that you educated me in horsemanship, I was an owner of a couple of mustangs, but they were not mine, they were my daughters and wife and sadly, they did not care for them. I fed them and watered them every morning and evening, my wife and daughter seemed to ignore them except to feed them treats. My wife that claimed to be a horse person, I'd never once seen her ride her horse, nor never did she teach my daughter to do so. I was just feeding pets, my wife and daughter never rode them at ll. I was a novice in all all this, I got up at 4:30 every morning and fed the horses, but didn't hang around. I didn't know that the stallion was taking away the feed from the mare. (they were in the same stall arena) Look I don't know anything about horses and your story was very informative and greatly appreciated in your knowledge of this. I was fascinated by it.

.........I'm going to make a wild guess and say that the fire department torches it! Like the villagers did to CJ in a book or two back!

Nice chapter, Uzzy has indeed come back to his old self, and Gabe is going to pay for what he tried to do.

.............Hmmm, never gave that a thought, much better though! A mini-series would be much better!

............. I did notice the lack of hearing from Grundig in the last chapter, I also thought it was strange that Trevor went to the the tech for questions of the tracker instead of Grundig. As I predicted Julie was a traitor, Steve may well be on track with Grundig. As a side note, I'd love to see this as a book in print and in the stores, but could not imagine it making it into a screenplay, it is too long and anything less then 3 hours of film would not do it justice. My nephew is in the film industry, as a budding director, he was the first family member that I came out to this year, he didn't even blink. So I'll e-mail him and ask him to read this looooooooooooooooooonnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnngggggggg saga! LOL! To get his thoughts! .

.........Not a lot of snow here in Las Vegas. LOL!

.................... Looks like Trevor betrayed Julie in return. Bridget already thinking that Trevor is not going through the canal and instead going around Cape Horn, as she departs for South America. That is the most treacherous seaway in the world, and in winter Trevor must be insane. Of course Bridget is insane enough to follow him It would be fitting if she had the Sea Witch brought through the canal to follow him, after all ...."if you want something done" mentality. Of course it is personal, with four attempts and zero results, Bridget is going to after Trevor herself, she has five months to plan. I wonder if word gets out about the tape to the cartel, after all Gonzale's did mention that one of the names of the members to Frank and they did relay that info to the authorities. Which Gonzale's does not trust and now is hatching up a plan with Frank, Here is what I think; (sorry, the spoiler button still won't work for me) Bridget made some mistakes, going after Trevor to get herself off the hook for her husbands murder. Telling Sanchez that she destroyed the tape, Xavier might know that. Viewing the parcel sent tape alone by herself and destroying it. Torturing Julie to death, Xavier was there to her Julies forced confession that she never viewed the tape, Bridget only knows that Trevor has the tape, but not if Trevor has viewed it, sources close to the investigation leak that a cartel's members name has surfaced have made it to the cartels ears. Now most of the cartels members already don't like Bridget being in their inner circle. With Xavier's statement and the and Bridget's actions, they might conclude that Bridget is the one that let slip names of the member's and is only after Trevor for revenge of her failing to have him killed. After all, five months is a long time for information that a cartel members name has surfaced from reaching the ears of the cartel, since they have many resources available to them. Bridget is forced to flee and becomes even angrier with Trevor with her new found hardship! LOL! This is fun, or maybe Gonzales and Frank brainstorm to try and get Bridget out into the open, and claim the info was from Bridget and let be slipped into the authorities. Which in turn reaches the cartels ear. Great chapter!

................. Welcome back! Surprised to see it early, now I have time to read it before I head out to the family dinner. Looking forward to more.thanks for the early x-mas gift!

..........To my friends that are Cristian or follow their customs ...I wish you a Merry Christmas also, my Hanukkah ended a week ago! LOL!

Duck we like, but the one year we tried a goose it was way to greasy and no one liked it.

Prime rib for x-mas, turkey for Thanksgiving and seafood for New Years

.........I'll probably read it after getting home from my brothers place, if is not to late!

.......... Okay, I'll bite! Many years ago I was in charge of a small construction crew, revising drawings, scheduling their work.... etc. Problem with this small company of 15 employees was the owner. He was very incompetent. While my pay wasn't bad, his paying us was! It seemed every payday we would have to rush to the bank to cash our checks, before his funds were depleted, as it happened to a few employees. After about 2 months of this rushing to the bank to be first in line, he called a meeting for everyone. After going through upcoming projects (only 2) he started in a pep talk about how well everything was going and stated that he couldn't see why all of us could be buying new cars at the end of the year (this was October) I could not contain myself and burst out laughing in his ashen face, hoe ludicrous, and how stupid did he think we were? Even his son smirked a little during my laughter, I laughed so hard I had tears coming down my eyes while the room wa silent. Of course the meeting broke up and the manager came in (why he had a manager, I'll never figure out?) And told me I was fired, of course I knew that the moment I had the outburst in the meeting. Good thing too, I was hired by the City the next month and his business failed in January. The owner came into the city one day I had the pleasure of having him as a customer when he came in for a building permit for a patio cover. He couldn't resist telling me that 'draftsman' were a dime a dozen, I told him I felt the same way about contractors!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JAN!!

.......An oldie but a goody, I'm rather fond of the Jimmy Stewart classic 'It's A Wonderful Life'

Thanks all!

........... I knew Cody before he died, very tragic result of an auto accident that killed his entire family less him, but left him severally disabled. His Grandfather and boyfriend cared for him until he succumbed later then went back home to die. He wrote some very strong stories, poetry and analysis before he passed. Blue took over the site and I know that our own member Collian posts his stories there today. If you can find his 'Unicorn' piece read it, it was very inspiring.

.............If as Chrisjones claims that the tape could have been already played, and we already know that Trevor and Shane have already seen the tape. How could Bridget not know that the tape can be played on an Aussie recorder? So the wrench is thrown in here, if Bridget is aware of this then what Trevor told Julie was a total lie and Bridget is already aware of this, or she is not savvy on technology. Not sure if the timeline in this saga allowed the technology or not to explain this. if true and Bridget was aware she would immediately move to kill Trevor and Shane and the boat. This is a sit and wait game, I see Julie being held hostage in her home by the cartel while they wait for Trevor to return and use Julie as the lure. In a finally act of loyalty or remorse she hints to Trevor of danger and he nearly avoids landing. With the cartel in hot pursuit, and Trevor getting the 30-06 ready in deeper waters. Sorry the spoiler button does not work for me!

..................You could have mentioned that tidbit about 20 chapters ago!!

............ Well, my prediction of Julie was right on, as I suspected her a long time ago! Grey has his escape plan already formulated and Bridget no longer has any contacts to the Aussie underworld. I'm going to guess his fate maybe be decided by one of those deadly creatures the goat told us about, just.an accidental death by fate. Julie isn't as cosy with Bridget as we were led to believe, the way she formally addressed became clear she was just an underling. Even though she betrayed Trevor, I'm sure the goat will find a soft spot in his heart and allow her to escape Bridget's clutches. NOT!! I am curious why Trevor and Shane would stick around though? After all mission accomplished, although that could tip Julie off if they don't check back in with her with the tape. Great chapter CJ!

Yea!!!!!!!!

I'm very glad to see another chapter up, funny how you had Jacob hitting rock bottom in the last chapter and being lifted up in this one, then reversing it for his father Bill. I really think Thomas is secretly gay, why Kyle and Jacob didn't figure this out already, is a mystery. This is a journey indeed, I think faith is going to come in play here later on after all.

........... Another gem from your (warped? LOL) mind. Nephy, I read the entire story last night and loved it!

...............Oh man! I saw some betrayal coming, but to give Pasha to Michae'l!! Gabriel is truly devious, if it wasn't for the bird, Pasha's betrothed would still be out of commission. I'm guessing that by the short length of these chapters this will be a short story. Nice to another chapter though! LOL!
