Happy Birthday Joey ................Hope it was a good one!!!

...........No apologies necessary here goat!! Hmm, I guess you are going to teach me how this is going to work by trying to get a Mitch involvement! Will Jake take the 'bait'? We all know that hormones will overrule intellectual thought in a heart beat, dangerous ground here for Jake and his mates. Crucial next chapter in the development of the relationship I see coming on! Great chapter.......... and for G-d's sake get well, (why is it an old guy like me never gets sick, but all my underlings do!! ...... I mean all my kids are sick all the time, I have maybe had a cold twice in the last 2 years!!

................ Bridget and George have become careless, I wonder if in their haste they forgot to lock the door to the house? Will Henry poke around inside and discover the guesthouse tapes? Sanchez is not a happy camper, he has failed twice, will his third attempt with his phone call to Australia succeed? Shane is a character, but I wonder if he is as bad as Nate let him on to be! I like the idea someone mentioned that of Trevor renting out the Kookaburra with Shane being his deck hand!! Now the end of this chapter seems to be another danger to Trevor. Is Sanchez that quick with a new assassin or has the reporter found the Atlantis already? Maybe, it is Shane coming to apologize after learning the truth about Trevor's voyage, perhaps bringing a gift of new shorts as a peace offering. Great chapter CJ!! I'm sure Shane will play an interesting part in this story!!

.............I agree with that, you would have thought someone would have offered a bit more clothing, Me thinks the goat likes Trevor's predicament

.......... I agree, hopefully Joel and Lisa keep their mouths shut, however if another attempt is made on Trevor's life. Joel and Lisa can figure out where they were last when they blurted out the info. The big thing will be the timing of the press release of Trevor's ordeal, so far Trevor's identity is known only few people. Other then that people just know him as the one that made the voyage! Trevor noticed a large of amount of Catamarans in the harbor, Edward told him twice to ask around with the local yachters about his work. After shopping for some much needed clothes, I'm going to guess that Trevor finds some people to talk to in the harbor. Will one of the catamarans catch his eye? I doubt that the Ares would retain her name, but Ares II? Something is going to trigger Trevor to speculate on seeing a familiarity, I'm not sure of the time line here, maybe the1st week or two of November, and the statutes of limitations for Dirk run out December 16? That means Trevor cannot meet his mom until after 12/16, obviously if his dad and mom thought they were in such danger to plan this elaborate hoax, Trevor's life is still on the line. Trevor has maybe a week before needing to disappear as Sanchez will most likely hire a straight out hit on Trevor, no accidents this time, just a clean shot assassin. ............... I wonder if Trevor will list the garlic press as one of the items stolen from him to the insurance company?? Great Chapter, continue to get well goat!!

.............Excellent story! But a December rain had to have been very cold, surprised they didn't wind up being very sick! I agree with Nephy, you should continue this story with a few more chapters.

............. Like I said, I'd rather have a well goat then a new chapter! Trevor can wait, get well. Now that said was I eager for my fix?

Happy Birthday Robbie!!! ..............Hope it is a good one!!!!

.................Steve, I'm speechless....

..........I'd rather have a well goat then a new chapter with Trevor. Take care of yourself and get well!!

Happy Birthday, Lacey! ................Hope you have a great one!!!!

............The garlic press? (hahahhaha) I'm sure it wasn't that one.

Happy Birthday Krista!!!! ....................... Have a great one!!

.................. I think Trevor is in his mom's home town already, by tomorrow, they will be paying him a visit, will his mom continue to stay hidden?. I wonder if Trevor will see a familiar catamaran docked up close by? Which one of the pirates will start talking, will it be the hospitalized one? Seeing that he was cheated in his share of money? I would have thought Trevor would just get a new boat, but I guess the Atlantis means to much to him, so he is going to repair it. I wonder if the police in Seychelles will confiscate all of Trevor's possessions and arrange to have it shipped to him? Will the insurance company cover the garlic press? I wonder how much trust Dirk will have in meeting up with Gonzales. Great chapter CJ, the next chapter should be very revealing!!

...........I have so many regrets, the biggest that has been on my mind was when I was still in the Marines, this regret goes back over 35 years or better. He was 19-20 and I was 23 I should just call him '12"' because he was! But our encounter which he agreed to was 'nothing' he had his demons still with him, and he deserted. I never saw him again, I still blame myself for that. On a lighter note, the guy I was most attracted to in Jr. and Hi. school, the one I avoided all through school! Never married.

.............. Rebuilding the Atlantis is almost impossible, even though I know in my heart that is what Trevor wants to do. Keeping his story from being international is more of a problem for him, even if he does not know it. How will Sanchez react knowing his cartel failed again? Will the police investigation give him pause to peruse for filling the contract if he thinks the feds are on to Bidget and George? It seems to me that the police department has more holes in it for leaks then the Atlantis had from the bullet shots. Sanchez may take his 'loss' for the hit he was paid for and focus back on Bridget and George, somehow his suspicions have to be aroused in the entire matter of the hit in the first place. If Bridget's story did not jive with Detective Gonzales why would it jive with Sanchez?

..................First off HURRAH!!! Trevor finally got rescued!! Good to see Gonzales and Weston on the same page here, why do I get the feeling that George is going to get caught planting the evidence on Joel, while Bridget makes the great escape? It seems that George and Bridget already have 'escape' plans worked out, maybe a sense of foreboding looms before them in their quest to cover themselves from the crimes. Back to Trevor!! I can understand his hallucinatory dream, we night firing and once finished we hiked and never stopped, we keep going for over 25 miles at night with no sleep for 2 days, deprived of sleep at night, and going up a mountain, I was not alone in seeing hallucinations from being deprived of sleep. I saw an RV in front of me with a person beckoning with coffee and rest, some in my unit saw snakes come at them and screamed out loud. Seems the company commanders had a bet going on one, and who would be the first to take the mountain. As daybreak came, I saw buffalo in the fields at the mountains top (that was real) but I was too tired to think of what I saw. They had an entire field kitchen serving hot food for breakfast for us, to be honest I'm not sure anyone ate. They pretty much dropped when told to stop. I'm still waiting for the dam to break on him, he has been through so much, endured many hardships and no contact with another human being for two months. I cannot believe he will not break down, will it happen when he makes landfall? It has got to happen soon, and this is where the problem exist to Trevor, his natural inclination will be to call Joel or Lisa. But if luck holds out and he calls his dad first, maybe, just maybe he can get the info he needs and not spill his survival to them that would reach the ears of Bridget. Maybe just maybe, he will hold Joel and Lisa to secret on the attempt to save himself, hopefully they will not expose the information of him being alive. Many avenues here!! What if the press gets ahold on his saga? The ramifications are many for Trevor, could the surviving pirates of Ali's boat or the betrayed hospitalized one make a confession that goes international pointing back at Sanchez? Would Sanchez risk another attempt? I see the next title of the chapter as being Reunion!! (His Mom) Trevor will find it although not expecting it! Great Chapter CJ!!! I almost broke down when Trevor was rescued!!!

............Hahaha! It is evident at the 1:45 moment that they are training themselves to be cliff dwellers!!! Something we all knew all along!

........... I cooked a goose once, and it will be my last time attempt at it! It was so greasy it was uneatable! Never again!! I like Prime Rib for x-mas dinner! MERRY CHRISTMAS TO EVERYONE!!!

..............Hummm Gonzales and Henry have a conclusion about the case, or at least having loose ends figured out, I see Gonzales stepping forward beyond the investigation, he smells a rat in this mess, will he bring in the Feds? Will Henry confirm the relationship of Bridget and George in this investigation? I still wonder if Gonzalez's life is left hanging, I said it before, I think George realizes Gonzalez is onto him, will the unknown Henry take the lead in the investigation? I'm glad Gonzales and Joel referenced a search if the time-line was short of Trevor's supposed arrival to Australia, it gives Trevor more help! How interesting that Trevor has his set on sights on Shark Bay, a place not far from his mom's hometown, will his mother be his rescuer? The problem I see now, Trevor once rescued, he will be able to contact Joel and Lisa but not his father and Jim. Will his mother warn him? Will Lisa accidentally spill the info on Trevor to Bridget? Or will Gonzales interfere, and for once, stop being so obstinate, and tell her his suspicions of Bridget. Or will Frank step into the fray? That sounds more likely as he has no constraints on information being told, nor his suspicions of the facts. In fact I see Frank as being the catalyst in the investigation from here on out. ..............Great chapter CJ, you wily goat, throwing in the cliffs at the end of the chapter!!!

Happy Birthday Linxe! .............. For your present, I'm going to call on the Senate to repeal DADT!!

Wow, what a great story Krista, I absolutely loved it!!

........... Yea!!!!! Another chapter, I'm glad they had a nice night out. Whatever possessed Jonathon to come to door with Lacey there? She wasn't stupid to figure it out what was going on when seeing the both of them together. So we now know the secretive file Christians mom was hiding from him, and that worries me even more. The several times Christian caught his mom reading it she had a very worried expression on her face. Just how bad is that reverend treating his son? Was the camp he got sent to as bad as some of them we have heard of? Glad as always to see another chapter!! :worship: Thanks Krista!!

Happy Birthday Johnathan!!! .............Hope you have a great one (a queerling no more!!)
