They reached the top of their musical profession and kept loving each other and creating wonderful, well received music You feel good and happy for them. What an uplifting story!

To clear up a point--I assume Curtis Buck paid someone to bug the kitchen and office in Brad's house and possibly Miranda's house, too. I don't see another player involved unless Mark wants to be laying a basis for a scandal or blackmail plot in the next story. Will had a cook fired for her homophobia among other issues and she was connected to Curtis Buck .She could have planted the listening devices. Jake is going to have Miranda's house examined and he can follow-up on any potential spy as he sees fit. “Someone bugged ours,” my father said, the fury pulsing out of him when he said that. They’d found two devices in our house: one in the kitchen, and one in his office. I’d decided that was yet another good reason to have my important conversations on my bearskin rug."

Mark, You have a very significant challenge ahead. I wish you good luck and hope your creative spirit continues. I assume the title "Final Chapter" means this story has ended. You have completed two major stories , Northern Exposure--over 398, 000 words and Gap Year--over 435,000 words. I and your many other readers greatly value what you write and are hoping to read more from you when you are able and motivated. I pray it does not take a great deal of time for you to extend the two story lines in ways you believe are interesting and important. I am very grateful for the opportunity to read your substantial, well thought out and well constructed stories. You are one of the best writers on this site.

I want to let you know that I remain very interested is reading your new chapters. You have written a fascinating story with great characters and a compelling story line. I want the platinum prince to succeed. I hope you are in good health and have the time and motivation to complete this story.

Final chapter--Wow--The Gap Year and all our speculation ends--You tied it up easily-All the key players are on the same page Curtis committed suicide and all agreed. Taylor and Big get $50 million each in a undefined scheme that looks like an insurance( hence untaxed) payout. No one wants the real srory and Buck family soap opera to become public. Will and Travis are even more insync. Zach expressed his love for Taylor and she was thrilled, They will be together soon and he will be enjoying Taylor using a strap on to please him. Taylor wants to see Travis and apologize for being such a bitch to him. Now what is next for Will? Will you show his continuing life in CA or his new life in Cambridge? This has been a fascinating, passion filled ride and Will has grown and learned about his friends and himself and found love. Zach is no longer central to his life and Travis is. He is ready to take on new challenges

The fleet is recovering. People are being helped and treated. Celebrations are being held. Good food is being eaten in the tradition of the military after a hard fought battle. I noted three powerful promises/implications. The fleet will not give up on seeking out the toasters and should have new capabilities.The discovered mineral will allow subspace communications and more when fully understood. Finally, the data dump about the attempted coup and expected and wanted fleet disaster should chill the leadership and give them a new purpose.

I stand corrected on the number--Kandric killed Great Green dragon Princess Golassera and 2-3 breeders remain Chapter 23 of the Kandric Saga--"Since the last Dragon War, the reds and greens were known to be very short on females. This was simply because each race had lost at least four during the war. The greens overall leader was a female and there was two or three other breeders, and the reds were thought to only have two or three great females. " Chapter 24---“ Prince Millen’s gaze moved to focus on Anex, “The boy your uncle warned me to keep an eye on. Words I did not heed seriously enough. The greens are now down to two or at most three great females because of this mysterious child. " BTW, In the Kandic Saga, King Wyhrem and his immediate party faced at separate times two of his guards who shifted into green dragons. Many more green dragons are hidden " in plain sight." At the very end of Chapter 33--As a green dragon is dying near the King--“Me…I am the True Dragon… Gohimnendin… we, the Greens did not forget the old ways… nor old magic.” It spit up a huge amount of blood. Its head stopped moving but it managed to continue. “More of us survived than you could ever imagine… You… You dare… to challenge us? This is the Green Dragon Homeland… we are everywhere… walking in plain sight… Just like I was… just as our ancestors did… Your court, your… royal Healthman… access to your very children… who do you think took your son? Kept him… traded him out… so we could get our claws into both…"

Killian with his magic sight can now see dragons after Lucas explained what the auras he was seeing meant. Now he and a few others in Xavier's crew can see dragons if they look for them. This ability takes on major significance now. They have learned apparently all or almost all green dragons are taught to hide their form. Then they will need to be on the look out for any green dragons in any new beings they meet. Mablin is bringing back new guards and drivers. They should be examined to see if any green dragons are among them. The horns kept by Xavier are still wanted by the green dragons who fear that the knowledge they contain could by learned by others. Xavier and his followers have time to make rings from the horns to see what is revealed. I think it is the location of the Bloody Rock green dragon egg hatchery of the female great dragon killed by Kandric. There is only one other female great green dragon left so these eggs are critical to the survival of the green dragons.

After too many challeges and too many strange beings, Beckett has found a human like mage who said he will take him to a portal to get home.

Amazing. The fates conspired and Brad and Cal found each other. A magical cat connected them and caused Brad to notice Cal. Everything seemed to fall in place quickly and without complications.

It is not clear that the camera system was turned off and it might have a visual record, Perhaps, Mark A could clarify . Does the security system include just the guard or also include the camera system.? Jake might not know about the camera. I do not think outsiders knew about the cam system in office ofCurtis. ..."It needed to be visceral,” Jake said, sounding almost psychotic. “I planned it out. I figured out how to defeat the security at the Buck Mansion and timed it for when his guard went on his break.” “So no one knew you were there,” I mused. “I really don’t think so,” Jake said, Am I nitpicking?

Jeha made the right decsion to bring in Axel to treat his gunshot wound.

He saved and treated Jeha and now both are secretly leaving to hopefully safe place. Jeha is weak and still needs Axel. Jeha know Axel has a week off and expects to need him all this time, I bet. They are trying to not be found and killed by Moon, Jeha's cousin. Axel has not enough time to think but he realizes Jeha is a gangster or delinquent. He did not want it to be so. He was very attracted to Jeha. They are going to have time to talk and learn more about each other.

Optimistically, Mablin will be gone a week to sell all of the true green dragon, less horns. Xavier paid him very generously for the horns and promised to answer Mablin's questions when he returned. Mablin has to respect Xavier's privacy or face severe retribution. Mablin has no real idea yet of the danger he faces. if he breaks his word to Xavier. There is still time for another green dragon to seek out the camp or infiltrate the new crew Mablin is hiring in order to steal to horns before they move out. The horns turned into rings will reveal something important under Bloody Rock. Well, the egg cavern for the Great Green Dragon queen killed by Kandric is located in that place. The greens would not others to know where it is since that would want to destroy the eggs.This egg location is something all enemies of the greens would want and might pay well for it. Or, Xavier might use the knowledge to trade with the enemies of the greens to help him re-build Seandra I hope the so far invisible small being spying on the camp is not a threat or might possibly make a mistake and be found by Xavier and his friends so it can be neutralized.
