Oh Jamie, Who are you going to call? Ghostbusters ! I wish he could. I am worried that in this scenario, things can easily spin out if control. Jamie can face a super powerful entity.

I wonder if Ian's fascination with Stef and reading three of his biographies has a hidden meaning. Ian is in the closet but he sees a powerful, successful role model who is gay. Stef inspires him. Gay people need role models. Ian can dream of a better future, too.

Owain and Colin and Joe are becoming more comfortable. Colin has not reconnected with his mother though he has tried. He realizes Miles is the favored son The three go to a garden center to get things to expand Owain's garden. They needed better advice but fumbled along OK.At home they made slow progress on the garden.I bet Owain might do better setting up his garden with the young man who is helping Colin's mother. Joes asks the others about his father having sex with an underage girl from church. He wonders if there are more.They suspect there maybe but have no idea who. If Joe's father is charged, it will be messy. Joe knows the church paid off the girl's parents so they should be quiet. It might have had to be a large amount of money. Could the church have sufficient funds only due to the money diverted from what was owed Owain and Mhari? When the investigation and any trial starts bring out the diversion and cause a scandal? Will the church have enough funds to pay what is owed to Owain and Mhari?

Ok--they were almost caught by the King's guard. But they hid in an underground area entered using a hidden a trapdoor. They are going to have to flee. I am thinking they are being deceived. The commander of the forces is wiley. He could not find them, but will get them to reveal themselves. He spoke forcefully and said they are riding away. But, I bet they are hiding expecting Nathan and Brohm to leave their hiding place and make themselves known. It is good Nathan found a bow with tipped arrow that can pierce armour. Life is going to bemore risky. They are trying to avoid the king's guard whike dealing with new personal emotions. Nathan has told Brohm he likes him sexually. Brohm says it is all new to him. He does like Nathan and is not rejecting him. I hope they can escape. Who or what is causing Nathan's nightmares?

I can see this is going to be a good samaritan story. They will help a perspn in need. It is wonderful how the love for puppies can bring people together.Benjamin saw the people on the beach and thought they would be good for the puppies of his dog. He was unable to care for them and is leaving school to get a job. The twins felll in love with the puppies and each puppy found a twin to favor. Jacob and Keith went out to find the owner, Benjamin, who had left registration papers for the puppies with their food and carrying box. After a decent conversation, they brought Benjamin and his dog with them. He shared a meal with them and is staying with them. Isaac is arriving tomorrow. I am thinking they will find a way to help Benjamin.

Amazing Luck Fred gets an offer from a Galveston firm to be a defense lawyer. His key client was convicted of manslaughter--as he was--and needs an appeal. The client is also gay. The first lawyer was inadequate and was fired. Fred will be fired if he loses the appeal. The client's father is a billionaire. Fred has a few other cases with lesser prority in the firm. One looks like it is Mo , his former lover. Fred's life is settled for now. He will have a comfortable life if he keeps winning. He has to seriously research his cases and meet his clients. He then can figure out what to do and assess his chances of winning his cases.I hope he thinks his manslaugter case is winable. Why would his firm be handling Mo's case?

During the day Jamie endured Britain's most obnoxious politician. He had Morris-Walker's number. But at night he shined. Morris-Walker hosted a small donor party. Near the end when just a couple were left , the huge ghost man attacked and smashed through the windiws and door. Jamie guided people away and the large ghost knocked out the staff. After trial and error, Jamie killed the being by sliting his throat. Morris-Walker was being strangled by the being and learned who directed him and why. It inolves a secret ritual . Jamie is in the dark about it. They made up a convincing lie about the atttack and the assailant who supposedly escaped from a locked room in the cellar. They told their story of the attack to others and they seemed convinced. The heavy snow is delaying any police arrival. The power is out, too.The weather will cover the tracks of the escaped attacker Jamie is concerned he killed a being, no matter that the being was intent on killing Morris-Walker. He is going to be drugged deeper into the mess and should be needed to fight the real adversary of Morris-Walker. Meanwhile, the senior police official who wants him to spy on M-W will be wanting a full report. Can Jamie fool him?

Will achieved his goal. He is going to be very happy. Will toook the lead and had sex with Ian Thorpe. They had a passionate 69 in his bedroom and wonderful orgasms. Will talked sensitively later and helped Ian recover and work through what they did. Staying 30 minutes afterwards let Ian calm down. He is not out and his actions excited and scared him. Will is a wise and helpful guy who assured Ian all was well .Now he has a great story to tell Travis tomorrow. They agreed to reveal their sexual partners and promised to not tell anyone else. Will promised Ian he will not out him. Will is going to have a great memory I expect he will be asking Marie what happened with her and Grant Hackett. They both can discuss their experiences and speak in code so as to not be specific but each will know what made them pleased or not. Will and all but Marie so far are leaving together from Athens and are going to stop by in NY to see JJ and Kris. They are dying to see Kris and learn more about their blissful relationship. It is going to be revealing to all. I hope they are charmed by Kris and encouraging to JJ who will love their approval.

Mo was the wise one in mix. He knew Fred had to leave when he was given the option.He needed to look ahead and let go. I took it as Fred was rambling about staying someway. Would he have gone through hitting a guard?---that would be up to the author. Mo cut off Fred's silly hope or possible guard action as not realistic. They were no longer a couple. Mo showed he cared for Fred in the only way he could. He prepared him for his outside life without him. Fred has to adapt and make a new life as a freed man. I guess will she how he fares soon.

Joseph has serious past abuse probems that he has not yet disclosed and will not talk with a professional about it. His body has scars and he has had at least one broken bone. He must have been hit enough that he has great fears . Ian and Keith had to spend time with him to let him know he was not going to be punished for innocently touching in bed. Joseph is easily upset. They will find him help when they get to the UK. Now they are in Haifa near the sea living in a very upscale home. Jacob has brought a friend. They both will do all the household duties. Joseph and the twins and the others should have a fun, relaxing time. Maybe they will get good news before they leave for the airport?

Fred went through extreme pain as Mo told him to get lost and stay away. Mo told him he had to be prepared to live on the outside and to forget him. Fred cried openly. Mo cried silently. Mp was right and it was for Fred's best interest. Fred even talked about attacking a guard to be able to stat with Mo. He did not want to leave Mo and the prison. Fred is torn up and will hurt for a long time. Things changed. Fred was let out early, He was not told why. Now he is on the outside without any roots or posessions. He started searching for a job. He is disbarred. Fred had been a real estate attorney. Looking online, an opening posted by the stat bar in Galveston intrigues him. Will he find employment and a place to live?

In hindsight, the murderer seemed clear. The homophobic wife confessed when confronted. Her husband was an idiot. Ken and Larry became true boyfriends and shared their lives. Unfortunately, Larry played around and spoiled their loving relationship Ken at least found solace in helping to rehabilitate criminals who had served their time in jail. I hope he can find someone to love again and they stick together.

Josel thinks things continue to look up, but are they? He met a pretty girl in the Shaddow Cross area and will see her again. Is he placing himself in danger? He did not report his meeeting with the girl to his father or Curtus, Likewise, he saw the lipless scary man who observed him at the tavern and is not going to tell his father or Curtus. "It was foolish to panic over the scarface. He was young, strong and having the time of his life. Nothing could stop him, ever." Josel could face danger sooner rather than later. I hope not.

The pancake explosion was hilarious. Joseph at first was so shocked and grew to become a happy guy who could roll with the punches. This is going to be a good family story . The ready reaction team showed up and blended in not making a fuss. Jacob even offered to take Joseph and Ian and Keith to to see the sea and stay at a place owned by his family. They were all in good moods. Let us see, if Joseph really likes for his first meal in the UK fish and chips and mushy peas. It should be so different from he normally eats. Ian and Keith do have to be careful with Joseph and his knowledge. He had been a subsistence living goat herder and not a fully Western adapted youth. Meanwhile, the covert operators were moving ahead behind the scenes. They are gathering evidence and creating documents. Good!

What a delightful , free flowing, fun time at Keith's new place.They kept on getting to know each other and finding they were so compatible. The easy way they took a mutual shower and swam naked in the pool was so convivial and comforting, They laid about wearing towels and talked relationships and both agreed they were mutually exclusive partners without wanting to be with anyone else. Ending their conversation by going into the bed room for sex before eating showed where their prriorities are. Nice--- They were open and relatively uninhibited. I think the watercolor Thomas gave Keith will give Keith something to admire and think fondly about his good friend for a long time

Finally, Dennison resigns. Fred and Mo had to dream up a story about the guard enetering a cell after hours which was heard on a tape.The warden had a listening device placed to record their conversations. But for now, they cannot meet until a new deal is worked out with a guard, Fred meets with his attorney. He learns Bully has been arrested for rape and his semen matches the second samle found ib his biy friend, He is to be given a new trail after Bully is tried and convicted. The DA Wants a delay so he will not llok bad and have to admit he made a mistake. I can see real problems with the plan of the DA. What is Bully is not convicted ?Fred's trail had a second major flaw. Bully was a real force in Fred's trial. He was the jury foreman. He should have not beem on the jury. This matter should be enough to get a new trial now not later..

Note--in sands of time The gods left a shard behind that Dawnbreaker and others helped the sand dragon king form a protective barrier around Seanda. Could this shard be in the City of Lucas the Lost and help Xavier? Xavier thought back----"Several times his mind wandered to another of his group, Gordech. The Falconling had gone to collect Garnet’s younger brother and several other youngsters before bringing them back to Seandra." Is one of the dragonlings Gordech brought back Garnet's brother ? If so, both of them will be very happy. Garnet's first alternate skin was as a dragonling.

Nathan and Brohn were found by 4 of the king's soldiers/ They sucessfully fought and killed them. They stripped their bodies and sent their horses on their way. Brohm who now reported he had fought in the kings army also said that the missing soldiers will be looked for using their last mission as the expected search pattern. Brohm and Nathan needed to flee . After a decent ride, they found Brohm's old , supposedly abandoned farm. It was given to him when his father died 2 years ago. It turns out Brohm left the farm at an early age and served in the king's army for 8 years and then did contract or mercernary work afterwards. They had a great time in the cabin and got drunk. Nathan felt sexually attracted to Brohn but did not act on his feelings They need to be on the lookout for a while to see if any King's men show up. Secondly, Nathan thought the cabin was too well maintained. Is someone going to show up wanting to stay there and be a threat to them. Thirdly---Brohm worked with other former soldiers. Might they know about his past and come looking for them. Lord Hemsley might pay mercenaries or bounty hunters to find Nathan and Brohm.

Wow--things have dframatically changed for the better. It seems Manny has a patterm of changing young male lives for the better. What he has done carries on today. These men want to pay it forward and help others Isaaac learns that a solution for Joseph is within reach in a week or less. Paperwork will be found to make the case. It looks likke Joseph will be given part of the business and Ian and Keith had previously wanted to do this. The people who stole from Joseph have been found and the money has been returned to his account. Isaac's prayers have been answered. He did not ask how or who and that was good. The Major's friends have been very effective and have made progress. Joseph's wishes will be fulfilled soon. All shold be very happy.

Mo is very skilled and devious. He managed to get the guard wanting to fuck him put on leave. But now step two will be dangerous. The warden needs better evidence. He is going to interrogate Mo and others in the cell block. I hope they have their stories coordinated. Dennison needs to be fired and not return.

Adga is not aware of the great battles being fought with the dragons fighting on opposite sides . The fight started when the Garm and Alphar enetred the world to save Premier Kandric and dragon forces took sides. The dragon dynamic is different than she knows. I wonder if the Sand Dragons recover, if other dragons will oppose them. Few will want to live in the desolate desert. It maybe possible to recreate the magic brrier too--all depending what is found in the City of Lucas the Lost. Also, who is in the locked room and what noble in Eagecrest wants it and will pay serious coin to buy it ? Could the buyer's real identity be hidden? Is the unknown being any way connected to the sand dragons? Could the being hurt her crew? Adga is also at a disadvantage in assessing any being captured. She does not know green dragons and royal sand dragons can have a second form or change their skin.In any event, the being locked up will likely face a painful future if taken to Eaglercrest or farther out of the desert.

Wow--What a game ganger The place they are in is connected of the sand dragons. It was a safety or survival bunker and one of several ordered by the sand dragon king. Gordech read the magic connected chairs. He realizes Xavier is stil alive as well as his thought dead older brother. This is amazing. Gordech was able to discern who else came back Xavier but did not know that anyone hd arrived with his older brorther or where he was. There was concern that the two great sand dragons would fight for supremacy.I think they are wrong, Xavier will defer to his older brother. He will give him the King's sword.The two can be a powerful force. Adga does not yet know that Royal sand dragons can have a second form Adga and others are going to search space formerly locked up. They have heard a living being is being fed and is worth a great deal of money. I hope they find who is being detained. We could be very surprised. Xavier needs to visit this space when he gets to Scorpion Falls. His magic can release it and open it up. Maybe he can find a way to locate his older brother.

Just wondering if that laugh was from Rovnar who is following his priest, Garnet

Joseph is betwixt and between--without a firm heritage at his young 12 years of age. He does have the benefit of being young and open. When he is given a firm home, family, friends and more love in the UK, he should be able to grow and become healthier and stronger. We learned from chapter 2--"Things would not be good for him because he is not an Israeli national. He is a Palestinian, a refugee of the conflict, but he has no paperwork to prove it. Without the paperwork, he would just be considered a transient refugee. From speaking to the Israeli solicitor, I think, although I can not be sure, Manny wanted to bring him to the UK. Manny finally did obtain 'legitimate’ paperwork." So we have an idea of the kind of paperwork that might help Joseph

OK, mcarss--We should keep your insight in mind and not go down a rabbit hole "Nathan assassinating Helmsley's son was a macguffin to get things started." I have not heard the term "macguffin" used for a while , but it answers the usefulness of questions others have raised about the son's death.
