.............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!!

......Ahem, didn't mean to make a stir here regarding the Frat! Just pointed out that you have a certain frat making trouble in a town that seems to be disgusted by the actions of a certain Frat, a town that regarded Peter to be one of their own. That be a given, you have a pissed off Police Chief, who took names and statements, if that doesn't lead anywhere so be it. So just saying it would not be a surprise to see the frat take heat on their actions. I mean, I already misread the Grandparents in the other chapters so I wouldn't be surprised if nothing came out of this one. My focus is on the upcoming soccer match, I seem to believe it will be quite entertaining, followed by Peter's awakening. Is Andy going to leave us all with another cliffhanger??

.............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.

...................Great start to another mystery of yours!! I love the names Haze & Ace, kinda rolls of the tongue rather well! I wonder why Logan became so upset at Haze when he asked about Ace, was he in protective mode for his brother or for his own reputation? Are Haze's and Ace's brothers alike in their thinking of them? It certainly d appears that Rowan and Ash are ass's to Haze. Well written as usual Nephy, looking forward to more!

.............Well, I don't think Jason needs to do anything, the townspeople already consider Peter to be one of their own. The Chief of Police is understandably angry at the attack, and with this latest incident, I'm sure he will confront the College president himself on the matter. Backed with the testimonies of all those at the pool hall? But enough of that, Amanda's reaction from Dean's 'opps moment' was typically expectant, but you can't live your life in constant fear. Hell you could walk out your door and slip on a piece ice and die from smacking your head on the sidewalk. So although Jason will be be more vigilante in the future of his surroundings, I think he will have more people watching his back. The soccer game should be interesting, I'm going to guess there will be a larger crowd then usual because of Jason's appearance. Hopefully the majority will be good! Great chapter Andy! Look forward to more!!

................I seem to now be out of sync with Andy's postings. I did not see 30 come up before seeing 31!!! This an instance were a frat house should be shut down by the actions of their members 1st, Jordan's & company, and then their frat brothers further actions, the college should see this very clearly. The townspeople's reaction did not surprise me at all, I've heard of many that held a bit of resentment toward bratty college kids that get away with a lot of bullshit, because they have been fed silver spooned from birth. I'm a bit surprised that Darryl took Jason's advice and got his brother out of there, but without coming back to defend him? Not like him at all unless the cops were already there on the scene. I'm going to guess that is what happened, once they were out the exit they were met up by the cops. With the testimony by the townsfolk, I'm sure those 3 frat boys are long gone from the program, if not charged. 'Stupid does as stupid is' Great chapter!! Andy, you have a flair to point out the obvious without being obvious.

............. 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!!!!

..........Hmmm, chapter 21 was very good, I thought Dane's lawyer would provide a bodyguard also. Good thing too! I liked the fact that Allen is dead, no need to drag that crazy man any further into the story. However the epilogue left a lot of loose ends floating around, I had expected a final police report and a screaming grandmother, then there is the estate that dear old dad left behind leaving Dane at a 3-0 advantage (Gay/Tap, Mom's estate, and dad's estate. Dad dead, grandmother without anything) Great story Cia! I look forward to more in the future.

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

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

...................Another great chapter, I loved the interaction of the brothers here, the interplay was great and 'right on' in the saga. Royce seems to have cooled down, I'm guessing it is to his relief the 'drama' is over. Darryrl's suggestion at shooting pool seems to have an foretelling of trouble in the next chapter, with Dean wanting to get drunk and the fact that they will be about and about, something seems wrong, maybe something will happen. But then again Andy has surprised me before! Could be the storm after the calm besieged by another storm here!

............... I know you are not going to believe this, but I kinda figured out that his grandparents were not going to come to the rescue, you had left too many denials!! But I was surprised that it was Amanda that made Barbara do an 180 overnight! That shocked me, I was figuring the dad and brother would be at the hospital with full support instead. Great chapter, sorry to hear it brought up painful memories for you, very glad it worked out though.

............I may drink kool-aid, but Andy is the one making it!! :lol:

................Benji's koolaid?? Jason was too kind in speaking to mommy dearest, I doubt I could have hold back my tongue on her. Peter's mom will definitely give her a piece of her mind though. I wonder if Dean will show up to offer his support to Jason and Peter, he could always get his grandparents to take him to the hospital!! Great chapter!!

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!!

..................Better you then me!! I can't believe Andy posted 2 chapters and I had not caught up with them, blame the holidays! Anyhow the argument between Jason and Peter was predictable given the situation of Peter's attitude on Jason's wealth. But Jason thought it through, and admirably decided to go against his parents wishes. About time Jason grew a pair!! Darrell so far does not know about the blackmail attempt, but I'm sure Jason's brother does, so what is he going to do here? My guess is that he will disown his parents or contact the grandparents (I know I know, I keep going back to the guys with the white hats here ) The beating of Peter took me by surprise to me, I had thought that Peter just had an accident on his motorcycle after the argument. I was also taken aback by Peter's sister, in wanting to shove Jason away, after all just because of a lovers quarrel? She had no business there, but I think this will fuel Jason's resolve to write his parents out of his life, if you cannot accept who I am then 'f**k you' attitude will shock them back into reality. Royce especially will see that he will lose not one, but two sons over this! Great 2 chapters! Forgive me for not chiming in earlier, like I said it must be the holidays, BTW, HAPPY NEW YEAR ANDY!!!

...........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!!!
