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.

Ian and Keith learned that there was a huge cultural gap between their values and customs and those of Joseph. They began helpful conversations that were vitally needed They started to explain their wishes and assumptions which greatly varied from what joseph assumed. This will be a process and will take a long while to help Joseph see his roles and duties. He thought he would be like a servant as the youngest and would have a great debt to pay back for the costs he made them incur. Issac and Shamira joined in helping Joseph see the expectations for his new live overseas. Ian and Keith should be ready for additional assumptions that do not fit what they think is right. They explained normal family practices in the Uk and let him know what he can do. He will notn be in debt to them. Manny has left money for, his support. as well as what they are providing.They want him to do well in school and maybe go to College. He is going to have the freedom to succeed and reach his full potential. He had a special, unexpected request that Keith and Ian supported . Joseph is so pleased he can have a pet and it will be a horse. Keith said he always wanted to have horses. They are all becoming closer and more compatible.

I loved how Joe fit into Owain's life. Owain was worried at first, but they did hit it off wothout any rough edges. Joe was a good room mate-- tidy, attentive, helpful. His mother when she got a report from Owain was surprised since Joe did not act like this ar home. Will she modify her behavior to give Joe more freedom? Do not count on it/ Owain is fascinated by the history of the firm and the behavior of his grandfather and father. There is so much he does not know. He asked Joe about his father's relationship with Owain's father. Joe only saw a connection evident in their love of the fundamentalist church. He was reluctant to ask Nathan, his dad, because he would be further pushed to attend his church which Joe disliked. Owain is looking forward to the expanded history of the firm. I expect and hope the story will be put in the context of the times. A defense industry was needed vitally needed at critical times. Britain did seemingly stand alone facing Nazi aggression after Dunkirk

Dave led them to the heart. The Dave and Grey spoke to it in a language they inately knew and asked for help. An opening in the heart appeared with blinding light inside. .Now are they going into the opening? They seek answers and Mark. As of now,the three are insync and supportive of each other. Grey knows Davd is more powerful and in tune with the labyrinth and the heart. Seeing a bear sized heart had to be mindblowing. Clara is the wise one that can advise them They will need to be flexible and ready for surprises ahead.

I like learning more about life in the UK. My cable channel in my California city shows the crime show Midsommer Murders. Gosh, there are lots of gruesome muders in that part of England. Luckily, Chief Inspector Barnaby always brings the killers to justice. Mr Morris-Walker would fit right in with the unpleasant, superior acting members of the nobility and gentry who populate the Midsommer area.

Nathan had a tough time adjusting as he hid away from the road, He feel asleep but had a brutal, gruesome nightmare. Brohm heard him and woke him up, They had a heartfelt, honest conversation. Nathan told Brohm why he did not want him to be with him--he would be killed. Nathan said he was paid to kll a guy but his identity as Hemsley's son was not revealed. Nathan did not research to find out on his own who he was asked to kill. A man he loved was killed in error and he was the real target. Bohm rejected Nathan's claim and said they would be safer together. Luckily, Nathan began to agree with him as they talked. He is developing feelings for Brohm.. They are leaving tomorrow for the farm of Brohm's father. I hope they do not stay long. Will not the farm be a clear target for Lord Hemsley's men to search ?

I just loved this guideline when Jamie remarked....“Let me introduce you to the ABC of policing, Minister. Assume nothing, Believe nobody, and Check everything.” Follow that advice Jamie and you will succeed, I bet

Winkler..." had watched Granger’s relationship with Calvert over the years and had seen Granger reach his happiest when they were doing well, and his saddest when they were estranged. He hoped that this time, they would find a way to be together without such stormy ups and downs." So do I, but I can see future naval duties and battles will interrupt and separate them. When they can meet again, I am sure they want to replicate the love they felt and what happened in Granger's waterfront home.

Deus ex machina (/ˌdeɪəs ɛks ˈmækɪnə, ˈmɑːk-/ DAY-əs ex-MA(H)K-in-ə,[1] Latin: [ˈdɛ.ʊs ɛks ˈmaːkʰɪnaː]; plural: dei ex machina; English "god from the machine")[2][3] is a plot device whereby a seemingly unsolvable problem in a story is suddenly or abruptly resolved by an unexpected and unlikely occurrence.[4][5] Its function is generally to resolve an otherwise irresolvable plot situation, to surprise the audience, to bring the tale to a happy ending....

So the new men are going to provide a slution to help Ian and Keith be able to take Joseph legally to the UK. It as to be a sort of Deus Ex Machina solution--a fake but seemingly real set of papers. It sure helps to have the right friends operating in the background. Jacob is a godsend and point man to connect and protect Ian, Keith and Joseph. I wonder what new information and documentation will be created. Let us hope the boys keep up their spirits.

Fred found out he was beginning to love Mo through their sexual acts But life became troubled. Fred;s lawyer offered to make an appeal but on a waek point he should have brought up at the trial. He told the lawyer to not come back unless he had powerdul ideas and a much better basis for an appeal. Mo wrangled with a guard who wanted to fuck him. Things are going to get messy. Neither guy is backing down.

Jamie is thrown curve balls and adapts. He faced a unhappy boss and fellow police officers, an over eager secretary who wanted to see him as a boyfriend, a supercilous minister and a drasitic change in plans. He fond ways to move on and not cause too many problems. The issue now is to focus on the entity who has attacked his minister. His boss wants to touch the entity so he can discover who sent him. It must be his special ability. Jamie needs to find a way to help his minister.
