................It's okay, Steve we Americans know it takes Canadians a bit longer to respond!!

.......... I believe his first name is Cliff.

............Somewhat easy, Chicken Marango a 400 year old recipe commiserating the victory of Neapolitan over his victory. His chef only found chickens, eggs, garlic, onions and tomatoes in the midst of the destruction of the battle. Flour with salt and pepper thinly cut chicken breast slices, (1/4 inch or better) pan fry and set aside. In a pot simmer half cube of butter, add diced onions, when onions are lucid (clear in color) add at least 3 gloves of crushed and diced garlic. Add 1 cup of the broth of the chicken that was boiling aside (the bones and fat) into it. Add crushed tomatoes and simmer for a few hours. If serving 4 use the same above with a 20 oz can of tomatoes. Add a half cup up sugar during this process to meld done the sauce, once the sauce has achieved a dark browner color it is all ready. I like to serve it with greens and desert usually green beans or asparagus Place warmed chicken breast slices upon a row of crouton that you have liberally spread a bit of sauce on, add the breast and pour on it a bit.

........................ I'm almost assured that the goat is not going to kill off Rachel, but I'm quite certain that the kookaburra will be towed and blown up at deeper waters while Rachel and her husband are visiting the place they are now at. Problem I see is that word will get out and Trevor along with Uncle and Shane will be notified of this and the escapade becomes real, real soon as they depart Australia. I'm going to assume that they will have a naval escort at first, perhaps even a decoy cat, and head south on their way back to the Panama canal. My crystal ball is not always accurate, but after 240 chapters I still believe that Trevor is going to meet Julie somehow.

...............You said this because?

.................Here what I think, Bridget believes to asset list and tape are aboard the Aeries (Kookaburra) and knowing it has not been found yet blows up that ship. She does not know that Trevor and Shane have already found it and transferred it to the Atlantis. But the explosion on the Aries will alert everyone of the impending danger to Trevor again, the press will be alerted and the asset list will be released in the news. The cartel will be alarmed at the publicity, as the asset list makes no mention of the tape, which can hurt them. But the publicity can. This turns on Bridget and causes her to flee once more, but into Trevor's arms, whom I can actually seeing him shooting her to protect Shane in open ocean. With five of the cartel members already against Bridget and no tape mentioned, I think they will leave it be. Why bring anymore glare into their operations? Just my thoughts! However I do believe Juie shows up one time here.

................As long as this story was, I'm not sure will be a sequel. However, I do know that his next story will be a sequel to 'For the Love' (where Evil little Eric resides) I suggest you read that, it is funny as well as entertaining kinda of a poke of the Dukes of Hazard in a way.

.........How the hell did I miss this chapter coming out? And here I just ranted on CJ's forum . Anyhow, Jacob's day just did a total 180 turnabout. I told you last time he would either need therapy or TLC, the TLC won out, whether his mother comes around or not, this will boost him over any other tough times. The upcoming bathroom scene did seem ominous, especially since you ended the chapter there!! The world needs more Amanda's in it, great chapter, looking forward to more!! (P.S. I have used the like button )

....................Actually I think it is quite rude not to comment on a story, the author is giving his sweat and time into writing to us freely. To acknowledge this is just common courtesy. Besides, I'm such a Yenta!

...................Goat island??? 2 in this story? Hmmm, somehow I think Kent Moorcroft's story is going to be squashed by his boss, Kline and the boys did too good of a job. So that means the asset list still remains a secret, Bridget is going to have problems if the head cartel man dies of a heart attack or some natural way. Seems she doesn't have many friends, in fact her list is getting pretty short , oh well maybe she can run into Julie!! Great chapter goat!

..................... Okay, the title suggest that someone is going to manipulate the beast. The beast being either Bridget or the Australian connection. or it could be a goat hanging precariously on a cliff!! I think Fowler has a plan to inspect the boat thoroughly, just in case, then finding the tracer and re-planting the devise on a naval ship/or an armed cat. Much to the surprise of those that seek to destroy the boat. Trevor needs to cut short his visit to Australia and hightail it back to the states, meeting Julia on the way! Hmmmm! My muse on the story!

.......................... Hmmm, 'save for a slowly-moving column of bubbles tickling the glassy surface of the sea." So Trevor's cat has been tagged with a tracer, no way explosives could not have been spotted by the cop's diver. And you know it wasn't the Aries that got tagged as the meeting with Gray and the sea salted head of the diver Gray employed was to soon for it to have been the Aries. Lisa and Joel got off easy, unless you take into account how long Robert will rant, perhaps they need to go away again, preferably somewhere quietly and away from the Florida limelight. Bridget is now aware that the asset list has been found, thanks to Joel and Lisa, but Trevor's life was already in danger. Nice chapter goat! Benji

................ Well I'll be Damned, it's Steve's birthday!!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY STEVE!! Hope it is a good one!!!

I follow Falling Skies, but have missed a couple of episodes of late.

.............What are you an insane Canadian?? I had plenty to say about that "Eric" Let me know when you come by Vegas again, I'll buy you another shot of B&B.

...................Double Drat!

..................... I'm a chat moderator and I'm sorry and embarrassed that I was not moderating on the time frame you spoke of. I would have spoken up immediately had I known, next time you see this happening e-mail me right away. I will respond in turn, this is not how the chat room is supposed to run. NOBODY should be dissed for the reasons you stated!

...............Welcome Alcarose! When his current story ends Circumnavigation, (BTW, I would have never learned to spell this word without CJ ) ends. I believe his next novel is a sequel to FTL.

................... From the cliff dwelling goat!!! Benji!!! It wouldn't be me killing off Lisa and Joel, it would be Bridget! Stop trying to blame me for things she does (or might do). Yeah right, first you are writing the saga, not to mention that then you shifted it into Trevor's lap After he sailed away from Florida. Now you try and blame Bridget for the writings!!! BTW, to clarify some of the above; Bridget already knew most of their route; that's why she has a reception planned for them in Panama (with explosives, rocket-propelled grenades, etc). So, in telling Gray that, they really gave away nothing. Hmmmm, wait a minute! We have Gray in position to strike with already laden explosives, and with two targets, the Kookaburra and the Atlantis. So that means YOU have decided unless the discovery is made sooner, Bridget plans to take them out near the Panama canal area, and not Australia. If so, then you have her paying Gray 1.5 million for what? Information and taking down the Kookaburra? Is she hedging her bet that the asset list will be discovered first? Because Lisa and Joel didn't know about the list, nor was it listed as one, per the Gonzalez conversation with Jim. Bridget must know that and just think of the two are just snooping around and happened to come across her little shop, while delivering flyers, she may even dismiss the whole thing and have them left alone. The fallacy in her logic I explained before. You may have given us the next chapter goat!!!

.......................I had a feeling Gray was going to be Trev & Shane's driver, when the other car owner cussed at his unresponsive car trying to start, the missing distributor cap was a giveaway. Lisa and Joel are not the only ones with loose lips, thank G-D the DEA agent was the one that faxed the info to Gonzales, I had thought it a 50/50 chance, turned out I wasn't so far off. I wonder if Lisa and Joel are walking into a spiders lair in the A/C place, the delayed info to Gonzales may cost them their lives. I wouldn't put it past the goat to killing them off. Seems Trevor has no problem talking either, I really wonder if this is just a ploy and I think Gray bought everything they said. Has Gray thought of everything? What if the boys discover that the driver they hired did not arrive via a clerk at the dock? If I was the 'designated' driver I would called the dock and told them, that he had car trouble. This tidbit of information should reach Fowler's ears and cancel the boys planned itinerary, but then again we have an evil goat!! Then Bridget herself is not immune to talking with Xavier, she must realize that he is telling Jeef (I think that's the head guys name) everything she tells him. But in her minds eye, she is his equal, a dangerous assumption on her part, as good as Bridget is in what she does and plans, she laments about missing a certain talent her late husband had, and even the insight of Xavier. She had said it enough to make me think that she will not see what can happen to her. Great chapter CJ!! Looking forward to more. ( ...Hopefully this saga will end before I die! )

.... Really a cruise ship!! Huh!

Sorry! Did not know you were going through that, if I was or am a potential bone marrow transplant you have it! Seriously, you ask if you want these old bones and I'd swear I'd do it.

Glad Joey is okay, we only assume that Jt's mother is dead here, most likely she is, but what if she is the murderer? I can see her being driven to madness by the husband. But then the question would be why attack JT? If it not the mother then who can it be? Could it be Mr. Brown from the McCray trial, he (McCray did say Mr. Brown would kill his family if he didn't get ten thousand dollars. JT is in deep shit, I only wonder what is going to save him? Great chapter, I do hope we don't have long gaps that require one to re-read the former chapter! LOL!!

Sarah is 50/50 on what she will decide, if she actually goes to the site, maybe there will be a chance. I'm more worried about Jacob's state of mind and his recent outting. His mother's letter really has hit him hard, as seen by his actions, it looks like he is going to need a lot of TLC or therapy. Great chapter! Good to see one again!

...................A cruise ship!!!!
