Yes, in more ways than one.
-
Yes, Patrick and Nicola both recognised the nickname and who it referred to and they both understand how careful they have to be. Josh has a lot of people wanting t keep him safe.
-
Sydney has a population of just over 5 million so they would need to know where in Sydney to look for Joshua. More to come on that and the investigation to come. Thanks for commenting.

It's true that they will want to move as quickly as possible but they need to make sure they have all the evidence needed to catch everyone responsible, especially corrupt police.

It's fantastic to see the therapy working without the use of medication, and I'm sure Bart's love for Noah was a big factor in that. Agreeing to live together is a great move that I hope will go wonderfully.
-
I'm late to this but I also echo the comments and sentiments of @drsawzall. Take care my friend.
-
Yes @Summerabbacat it now seems it is not only a matter of dealing with the offenders but also of finding Joshua's brother. No spoilers regarding "Horse" but I'm pleased you didn't just relate it to size.
-
Joshua can supply an address but you're right @Ivor Slipper that would be too simple given the police involvement. Though hopefully not a long investigation.

Back in his office Jordan sat at his desk and looked at the lists of names in front of him. He had been doing some searching. The Child Abuse Squad, which was where Patrick O’Brien worked didn’t take referrals directly from the public. People with information about Child Abuse were told to first report it to their local police station or by phoning Crime Stoppers. Neither was the course that Joshua would take. He needed to totally trust who he was telling, and Patrick O’Brien was that per

Luke is showing he cares deeply about both Tony and Aaron and at least senses that Tony want to reunite with Aaron. He is doing his best to prepare Tony for the way others, who care about Aaron, could react to him. Luke is also letting Tony know that Aaron is fragile and to be careful. Clearly Luke wants Tony and Aaron to be back together and wants to help. Now how will this little community react to the return of this now famous writer?

Quote: ‘Oh, we are, mate. Don’t you worry about that,’ Matt replied. Now there's something that a certain politician was very fond of saying.

Alex's "privacy bubble" reminds me of Get Smart and The Cone of Silence.

vacillate - Word of the Day - Sun Mar 30, 2025
Paladin commented on Myr's blog entry in Writing World
Here we have another example of a Latin verb hanging around into modern Italian where vacillare still means to sway or wobble. Whenever I need to use effect or affect I pause and monetarily vacillate to ensure I use the correct one. -
Was the choice made inside the bubble the right one? Alex doesn't seem too worried. Putting on Alex's hat and looking down possible futures in this multiverse I now see potential for Sarah to become pregnant but not who the father would be. Interesting!

I have been really enjoying this story and its combination of mystery and intrigue involving the strange Norwegians and Matt's friendship with them as he tries to assist them in their quest while searching for a romantic relationship. This chapter has left me saddened by the death of Oscar and the beauty of his ashes being committed to the lake but, I'll admit, otherwise confused.

Attributing blame is a very human trait and we can see faults on both sides but, blame doesn't change the current situation. If Tony still loves Aaron (and it seems he does) then he needs to do something about it. And if their friends want them back together then they also need to act. Let's see who does what.
-
I agree with everyone. I feel a storm brewing.

I hope Jamie checks the drum kit before he starts. I wouldn't trust any of this lot at all. Jamie is in deep this time and as Angus indicated they'll take footage all the time and in post production edit it however they want. At least anyone seeing the live feed will see the whole thing. Very early on Jamie commented to Cottontail “This is like reality TV. It all has to be scripted". Is Jamie going to go "well off-script" and if so how "real" will it end up being?

Good point @Doha Here we have a system where people working in certain jobs are mandatory notifiers and legally must report child abuse to the authorities. Neither Jordan nor Cameron are mandatory notifiers. The critical thing is to encourage Joshua to disclose because any prosecution could require his evidence. Obviously Jordan and Cameron want him to disclose.
-
Thank you @Doha but I hope not too evil. Part 2 does carry the story forward.
-
Thank you for commenting. Cameron, Joshua and Jordan are certain;y becoming a unit.
-
Thank you for your comments. Second home in Stingray heads? Nice idea
-
You could be right
-
Thanks for reading and commenting. hope you enjoy the next chapter too.

I am assuming that even though he decided to stay, Aaron went into a very dark place after Tony left and rightly or wrongly Tony is sharing some blame. I agree with @chris191070 that Tony will have to do some bridge building with Aaron.
