Two gut wrenching moments---Peter taking care of a scared, hurt Jason and Gary ‘Brick’ MacReady announcing to Andrew that he was watching Jason who will face his real crisis after the court acts. Brick reeks of arrogance and assumed malignant power. You laid out Peter's decency and innate nature to care for others who are hurt. Four years of helping a pained Will taught him what to do. He kept his good nature and positive outlook and has not turned cynical. Jason will be better off. The only helpful result of the warning from Brick is that it was announced as planned. Andrew and others are not going to be surprised. I expect Andrew will talk with others to get advice and help. He needs to understand the extent and nature of the enemy he is facing.

The Rangers are on an illegal mission. It was not authorized from the top. It cannot be shown to be officially sanctioned and they would be denied as authorized . if they were captured. Biden, if notified, would be enraged. Will is going to be enraged, also. Little mistakes can become larger problems. So far the young boy's report to his mother and then to an unconcerned French officer seems to not raise any concerns. There will be lots of time for the meeting incident and American accent story to be retold to others in the village who might want to also express worry to officials. The French report might be read by someone who sees a problem and passes the concern on to higher authorities. The right people will be looking for something unusual. Let us see if the Ohio accent mistake becomes critical. If the multinational command structure finds out about an American force in that general location, it would not be hard to figure out it was sent to kill Admiral Carter, but not dream it was going to kill Peter and Ned. Adding the two family members as targets makes this a war crime. Will Admiral Carter be notified in time to change his routine as a military force is sent to search for the US forces?

Wow--Leo and Caleb saw the raven that told them Silas was nearby. He will act on his own time. Leo read the message Silas left for him and Leo snuck away to meet him hoping to kill Silas when he was in human form Leo met Silas and found out he was damaged, worn out goods. Leo wanted innocent, young Jamie and left magically to take over Jamie. Leo cannot return in time. Silas convinced Caleb to flee to find and save Leo. Silas made Sarah go into a dream state. No one was left to stop him from lying to Jamie. Silas showed up and took over Jamie's mind and took him to another place to have sex. Silas is too powerful to be stopped.

Biden kept the evidence of Trump ordering Andrew killed back from the upcoming release on Andrew's record. What could make him release the assassination data on Trump? Is Biden waiting on what he learns from his upcoming talk with Lisa or maybe a future call to Will? Does he want him to run as a Democrat? What does Biden want? If Biden can get comfortable with Will, then Biden might release the killing order to crush Trump who he truly hates and thinks will be unfit to be President.

Ain overreacted to the Herald's efforts to complement Fenn and be so supportive, When the Herald kissed Fenn's cheek Ain lost his cool in front of a crowd. " Ain sighed. He'd really made a mess of things. And he couldn't help but think Varilik had done it on purpose, too—set him up to get angry and possessive in front of a crowd. Blighted misborn." I bet the Herald knew what he was doing. He wanted to anger Ain and have him act poorly in front of a crowd to start the process of him losing popularity He may want to drive a wedge between Ain and Fenn. He cannot control Ain. The Herald might think he can control Fenn. Ain needs to pay attention to the upcoming battle plan and see how the story is written about their expected successes. Will Ain be put in more risky situations that have the potential to really hurt and impair/kill him? Will Ain start first and Fenn follow-on later? After the battle, will the Herald give the main credit for the victory to Fenn and not show it was a team effort using both their skills ? He could continue his plan to anger Ain and split the couple apart. Ain needs to keep his temper.

They lost the sandcastle building contest but they were not disappointed. Leo and Noah got together afterward. Leo looked Noah over and said he thought they were on the same page. Leo leaned over and kissed Noah. The world just changed for them. Now what will they say! Will they feel pleased? Will they be scared?

So, any bad guys better watch out and not underestimate Yani and Peter.

BTW--Will we see Peter learn and use his legendary Tiger Claw move in this book?

I hope Peter can use his knowledge well. I suspect the killers coming are deadly I did look up Tiger Claw The tiger claw is a fundamental Kung Fu technique (often Dan Fu Jaw or Fu Jow Pai) characterized by an open hand with fingers slightly curled to mimic a tiger's paw, targeting soft tissues like the eyes, throat, and groin to rip, tear, or strike. It relies on a strong, conditioned palm for impact and hooked fingers for grabbing, often used for close-quarters self-defense.

We naturally turn to studying what Will and Andrew are going to do in the face of political and military issues. But you have told us to look elsewhere for solutions and victories and so I will pay attention to your words. "I do like that this is Peter, Tommy and Yani's book, our softer characters demonstrating that they can be strong and heroes too"

The mustang now united them and is developing relationships. "They were no longer just three lost boys drowning in a too-big house. They were a crew. They had a monster to build." You did not leave things simple. An unholy terror of two evil, hateful people is watching them with the intention of getting revenge on them at the right time.

I am hoping Yani will get news of a leaked intercept warning of an assassination plot against Andrew and his family. He might have a backdoor way to warn Andrew Or, maybe any strangers on the island will stand out and be watched to see what they do. If they seem dangerous, they will be jailed or killed.

Biden got the unredacted report on Andrew Carter. He was impressed by his heroism and upset that Trump ordered his death. He was given a USB drive that contains Trump's verbal order to have Andrew killed. He could release it and give Will a great public boost and hurt Trump. Biden decided for now to not release the execution info to the public. He did ask that the good material on Andrew--not killing Abernathy---be released and Andrew's reputation will soar. Biden is calling Lisa in Will's campaign. Biden thinks he cannot win and his donors are backing off. He knows Harris will fail. So what does he want to cover with Lisa? Trump is greatly worked up and is thinking about his death. He just survived the bullets in Pennsylvania. Trump is now fixed on Andrew Carter killing him. He knows he killed Silas Abernathy in the CIA HQ. He thinks Andrew will come after him . Miller says he can take care of him by blockading Newfoundland. It will be starved to death. Trump likes his plan and expects to hear he succeeded . Miller returned to this office and faced a hard verbal attack from a retired US General and top adviser to Trump. The general was upset because he had heard about the two plans to cut off Newfoundland. Yani's efforts to publicize the plans destroyed them and caused a firestorm. He was asked how can a campaign order a US military action? This approach is now off the table. Miller decided to take a new option. He messaged an asset he controlled and told it to kill the Carter's on Newfoundland. I hope Andrew has good security. I can see a mercenary team arrive and take steps to kill Andrew and Ned.

Wow--Noah is in the hospital IV connected and getting good medical care. Grandma spoke to Noah. The crash had to be an inside job with two dump trucks involved forcing the attacks., Noah's security guards were pushed off the road by a dump truck into a tree and died. They are looking at who inside her organization is working with her enemies and likely the Senator. Shiloh is missing. Noah is worried. Little B left to try to help Shiloh. He found two older family members whom he will join. We learned... so two ghosts and one little boy are going after Shiloh's captures." Little B wants blood.

The Herald wants Fenn ( and Ain)to go with him over a week to the border where an attack is expected soon. He thinsk having Fenn with him can boost his reputation even more. People will know Fenn helped repel the enemy attack, Fenn and Ain finally got into having sex but in the way Fenn expected. Ain likes to bottom, be told what to do and likes being tied up. So they slowly moved ahead until the end when Fenn had 4 fingers in Ain's ass and then drove his cock deep into Ain's body. They had a fully rousing sex session. Both were pleased and enthusiastic. They should be a great couple after this event.

Life is good. The three hit it off. They told each other about their sex interests. They told Jody that their group of guys who like sex with guys is approximately 20 and Jody will be introduced to them. Jody told them about his experiences with friends and his baseball team, they were blown asway by his stamina and number of sex activities. They visited several monuments and museums and had a fun meal. Jody picked up two fleet enemas. They returned to their hotel room and had a energetic, rigorous session of hot anal and oral sex. Jody was spit roasted. All three loved using his ass and mouth. Jody has been welcomed and valued. He is going to have lots more sex from now on at his current assignment.

This story is very intriguing. It is fascinating to see how people we have known well in their later years have matured and grown from their past. They are going to make defining choices. You focus in your intro on Andrew...."the gentle law student must become the ruthless strategist his father once was, forging a dangerous alliance to dismantle an empire of hate." It will be exciting to follow Andrew.

Yani stopped the infrastructure/cable cutting plots. Can he do something to modify or erase records showing Andrew as a killer in CIA headquarters?

Kaylen's title has been restored by the Baron and he was named his heir. Sir Kaylen is educating his squires in their new duties. He notes they should be careful to act properly and always do what is right. Eyes will be in them because of Sir Kaylen's new role. They will later accompany him on a tour of the lands to assess and learn. He believes the territory has not been well managed and needs improvement. He will give up his duty at the keep and expects a new leader will arrive in 3-4 weeks.

The characters are getting better defined and beginning to blend and show how they will stand out. They have histories that give them a basis to relate, Peter and Bobby are opposite, but loving brothers. Slowly recovering. injured Jason is not as angry and finding he likes admiring Peter's half-naked body. Andrew has come alive after losing Will. He has a glorious Mustang to restore and drive.

Three hurting broken souls who are lost and living now in the same place, I am looking forward to seeing how they blend together and hopefully help each other and somehow grow.

Two people are really making an impact. Ned confessed to Peter he felt dirty after Graves sexually assaulted him Peter comforted hm and told him about his rebelling when Will took him in. He was a terror and Will would not give up on him. Peter sad Ned was a Carter, and the family takes care of its own. Yani showed his technical skill. He found out about an attack planned on Newfoundland, He took steps on line to disrupt the plan and to alert people who would not like it;---CIA IG's, a certain staff officer in other command and the Washington Post, Yani acted also as a good teacher helping Tommy understand what he is doing, Tommy is fascinated.

Driving back from relaxing at a park, Noah's care was hit from the back and driven into a barrier. The airbags exploded Noah later was pulled from the car. No fire had started luckily. But, Shiloh was missing and Noah was distraught. Who hit the car and who took Shiloh? Why had the security detailed failed to protect them and was the detail not close behind them?

Fenn continues to have a low self-concept. He was very concerned about visiting Ain's five parents. When he met them, he found three of the five supported his relationship were very encouraging. The other two seemed cool and not openly positive. Ain continued his support and kept kissing his cheek, Snowflake, his cat, was liked by Ain's parents. Ain's lieutenant told Fenn he saw that he made Ain very happy and he did want to find out Fenn ever hurt him. Wow! Let us see how the rest of the visit goes....

The beginning of the end--"The court further finds, based on the evidence presented, that Ms. Velutto's role created a conflict of interest that undermined her claimed fiduciary posture." She was cut off from Liam and would be not touched by anyone in Hollywood Hudson and Liam finally got their own place. They talked about what they were thinking about them as a couple. They support and love each other deeply Hudson's said. "But you do take away the worst part." Liam swallowed. "What's the worst part?" Hudson's answer came quietly. "Feeling alone in it." They are holding up and growing, Hudson suggested to Gabriel that changes were needed in their restaurant to survive. They are turning away too many people and they will get upset. Gabe listened and asked Hudson to give him a plan. Hudson is so happy and asked for a raise. Liam went ahead on acting in the movie "What Remains." He begins to expand his interests in more than acting. He is good--really good at what he does He eventually thinks about directing and producing. It turns out this movie has won several award s , including his second Oscar. The final segment returns to the interview set. This time seems more relaxed, and the interviewer is clearly on Liam's side finding good quotes to add. Teo arrives during a break. He is now Liam's manager and they delightfully tease each other to the set's enjoyment. Liam tells Teo he is suspicious about a surprise being planned. Teo denies anything is planned. However, Liam says it is his 30th birthday and he expects a surprise party. Teo says he has done nothing . Liam looks at someone behind the camera on the phone--Hudson-- and remains convinced he is being given a party. Life has turned out very good for Liam, Hudson and Mateo. They faced great hardships but have not given up and have grown into better roles and responsibilities. Liam and Hudson are great, happy lovers. A town that eats people up did not drag them down
