Something I've learnt about you @chris191070 is that you might love cliffhangers but you don't do spoilers. I know I have to wait

So, according to Calvin, Gustav and Theresa have been an item since high school and "having a lot of sex" and yet they live in separate apartments in different streets. They check into a hotel together for a weekend. On return from their romantic weekend they are murdered in the same apartment. I keep asking why don't they live together? I'm also curious about Ms Baum. She's been principal since at least when Ken and Joe attended and remembers some students. I find it strange that she would only have vague memories of two students who become teachers at her school. I would have thought that employing two ex-students would trigger memories of them as students. She also seemed unconcerned about them not turning up for work. Hmm.

@Summerabbacat is correct. Oliver is in short term care with Noah's grandmother. He and Bradley are forming a good friendship and David is keeping a close eye on Oliver's welfare.

Lost A Day, What Else Aren't They Telling Me?
Paladin commented on Lee Wilson's story chapter in Lost A Day, What Else Aren't They Telling Me?
A nicely paced chapter. Recover memory, back home, back to work, partner being away for work, patient linked to loss of memory turning up. I'm not sure that Carlo should take Simon on as a patient. Could be more appropriate for someone else in the practice who is not involved with Duncan. However, I'm prepared to wait and see. -
The Paranormal Hits Home
Paladin commented on lawfulneutralmage's story chapter in The Paranormal Hits Home
An amazing chapter. The battle, for that's what it was, was so vividly described it was easy to picture. RMW certainly knows more than he is revealing, but it turns out so it seems does Mr Turner. The big question is how many people know something about what is happening and how much of that information should be shared with Jamie?- 42 comments

I woke before the alarm. I do not think we had moved during the night. Andre was still in the middle with our arms around him. They were both still sleeping soundly. I could hear Andre’s steady relaxed breathing. He was feeling secure and loved. Jamie had been our rock last night. He had remained grounded in the midst of our swirling emotions. We both needed him. I must have stirred enough to wake them because they both started the moving and stretching associated with waking up. Jamie open

An interesting chapter. We learn about the project intertwined with the "getting to know you" interaction between the two barons. Greg is intelligent and politically savvy. I, like Baron Evans, am interested in what the fates are expecting of Greg. A young vagrant vampire in a graveyard! Is he seeking blood?

Very soon @Thomas Wells. Glad that you are looking forward to it.

This story continues to be interesting and engaging. The "generation gap" between Phil and Colin isn't really that wide. Colin and Jason getting together is delightful.

Another great start on both the domestic front and murder wise. So Tom is unsure if he wants to be a cop or a maths teacher. Will he spend the weekend helping investigate this (these) murder(s) with George and Ken? Will it help him decide?

As they say "hindsight is 20/20 vision". I have concerns about the Wednesday group session. Group therapy is fraught with danger and it is important to know about each participant involved. This group seems to be a bit too free flowing. Like @drsawzall I have my doubts about the "relationship" between Simon and Duncan and why Duncan didn't have any friends. Simon's father is a real piece of work and needs a real wake up call and treatment. I can understand Carlo's response. Losing someone to suicide is particularly traumatic.

This one chapter story is like a mystery and a cliffhanger all in one. Where does it fit in Ken's timeline and what happens this time with Ken and Larry. I'm hoping this story is going back in time and takes place before "Who's Afraid of Joe Vincente. However, with @chris191070 I'm never sure what he has up his sleeve when weaving his magic through his stories. Only time will tell.

I loved this as well @Anton_Cloche. Young children are often far more observant of things around them than we give them credit for.

Although Devin and Mac didn't organize for photos at the hospital there were plenty of people taking photos. Hope enough get back to them for the campus newspaper. I'm sure the people who donated money and toys would like to have some feedback.

Another excellent chapter. I'm also keen to find out what the project is, especially as it has to be more that an ordinary housing development with project homes. I really enjoy it when you include information about the lives and cultural environment in this vampire world. Also looking forward to the dinner.

The One That Changed It All
Paladin commented on Lee Wilson's story chapter in The One That Changed It All
This is a hard one @drsawzall. Doctors (Medical Practitioners) in general seem to rank very high in suicide rates along with Veterinarians and dentists. Access to lethal drugs is a contributing factor. Other high rates are amongst farmers, responders (such as firemen, police and paramedics) and surprisingly ship deck workers (Cambridge study). I haven't seen any specific data on psychiatrists and psychologists. In Australia they are the group most often reported as being inappropriate with patients or clients. -
Thank you @Ticklishboy30, @chris191070 and @akascrubber for reading and making encouraging comments.

Thanks for your comment @Ivor Slipper. TAFE is very Australian. It stands for Technical And Further Education. TAFE colleges are state government colleges and offer post high school courses in an amazingly wide range of areas including adult education, trade certificates and diplomas.

A very enjoyable chapter @chris191070 to wrap up this murder, or murders. I hope it is also about a change in Ken's life and that we will see some positive results of that change. I'm looking forward to the next murder, or murders.

Monday morning, eighteen year old Jason hurriedly placed his student Opal card on the round multi coloured card reader. The display showed his stored credit and the green tick that signalled the gate opening. Jason raced through the open barrier and down the stairs to the platform. At the bottom of the stairs he saw the automatic doors connect and pull back against the train. He watched the train pull away from the station. He slumped his shoulders. “Damn.” In the grand scheme of things thi

The One That Changed It All
Paladin commented on Lee Wilson's story chapter in The One That Changed It All
This chapter raises two very serious concerns for psychologists and psychiatrists. Having a patient you are working with commit suicide and wondering if you could have prevented it and being accused of molesting a patient, especially a child patient. Both have been treated sensitively in this chapter and with a bit of humour involving Steve. Looking forward to find out what happens next.
