    @Summerabbacat I did tell you to stock up on the Kleenex when you did your next weekly shop, did I not! Love the song BTW. Nice choice. Thanks.

    @weinerdog hmmmm . . . 😁

    @peter rietbergen ok. Point taken 🙂 A slight edit made. Cheers.

    @Summerabbacat ooohhh! Harsh! I can definitely understand your initial reaction though, but I also do think you'll change your mind about sis, once you get to know her! 😉 I also get folks concerns about what Rick might have told Adam, but they've been together for a while, and like you I think Rick is a good judge of character. And as good a cop as he is, or might be, he is still young and possibly a tad naive ... possibly. 🙂

    -- Chapter Seventeen -- It was a homecoming that had been far too long in coming, as far as I was concerned. Still, I had no one but myself to blame for that. Helen had followed my directions, and it wasn’t long before we had cut across the city and were now crossing the bridge onto Kooragang Island. The main drag would take us around the back of the industrial area, across another bridge as we left the island, and then onto Nelson Bay Road, which would lead us directly in

    -- Chapter Sixteen -- ‘Adam . . . I . . . I . . .’ I began to say, but he quickly cut me off. ‘Rick, don’t sweat it,’ he scolded, even if the tone of his voice wasn’t entirely forgiving. ‘I get now that yours isn’t exactly a nine to five job, and sometimes I’m going to come second, but that doesn’t mean I’m going to give up on you . . . even if you do test my fucking patience sometimes!’ At that, even I had to chuckle. ‘How far away is it that you an

    @Paladin so glad you chose a Quarter Horse too! lol

    -- Chapter Fifteen -- I followed Casey through the dimly lit and musty smelling cleaner’s room, dodging mops and buckets and shelves piled high with cleaning chemicals, until we reached another door on the opposite wall. ‘Where does this lead?’ I asked him. ‘Outside . . . eventually,’ he said, with a grin that contained more than just a hint of mischief. ‘Oh, this’ll be good!’ ‘You’ll see,’ was all he would say. The door opened e

    Mounting evidence, loving families, expanding support networks! It is all coming together nicely . . . I just hope that there aren't any spanners about to be thrown into the works! 🙂 More please, sir! 😁

    @Summerabbacat thank you! Us little Aussie battlers appreciate your support! Eh, @Paladin ???

    @peter rietbergen I think that last sentence would have to be one of my favourite responses... ever! Thank you!

    @Summerabbacat oh yes, the stench of corruption is everywhere!

    @centexhairysub let's just say there will be links, which will become obvious later on. 😋

    -- Chapter Fourteen -- ‘Holy shit! That was close,’ Shane said, as he sat up and looked back through the rear window at the receding view of the hospital and the two slightly bewildered-looking cops on the front steps. The three of us had dived into the back seat of the taxi, with Shane sitting between Helen and me, and I had pushed his head forward and down, while trying to keep him out of sight, despite his initial protests. ‘A bit too close, I reckon,’ Helen added.

    -- Chapter Thirteen -- I was woken by the irritating sound of something squeaking, but couldn’t think of what it might be, as I was sure that there was nothing in my unit that would make a noise like that. As I slowly opened my eyes and looked around, I realised, however, that I wasn’t at home; I was somewhere entirely different. It was then that it dawned on me. I wasn’t even in a bed. I was sitting in a chair, in a sterile-looking room, alongside a teenage boy –- who did

    Thankyou @Summerabbacat I think perhaps you had best add a couple of boxes of tissues to your next grocery order. You will need some during the next 30-odd chapters! MP

    -- Chapter Twelve -- It was immediately obvious that Mrs Jarvis was a no-nonsense kind of woman, which was something that I found I could only admire. It was also obvious that she was a woman who might well be a force to be reckoned with, which I quickly figured she would need to be with a son like Andy Jarvis, and for that reason I knew I would need to respect her. I had no idea just how much she knew about her son’s activities, but I figured she was a smart woman and jud

    @Summerabbacat I see you've let your imagination off the leash again! Let's see it stacks up when we get to that point, eh?

    @Summerabbacat or perhaps Helby might enjoy a trip out of town for a day or three . . . ?

    -- Chapter Eleven -- Almost before we had even exited the front of the hospital both Helen and I had our phones out and were hitting the dial pad. It was time to start the ball rolling, to put our plans into motion, which would culminate in the arrest of Andy Jarvis; assuming, of course, that we had all our ducks lined up in a row and the inspector gave us the green light. Once outside the building I listened to the phone ring at the home of Martin’s parents, while I could

    -- Chapter Ten -- Fear gripped the both of us as we looked at each other and realised just what it was that may be happening here. A police guard missing from his post. A potential target missing from his hospital bed. Surely Jarvis couldn’t have found him already? Could he? Whichever way we looked at it, we just knew it couldn’t be good. ‘This simply can’t be happening!’ I heard Helen growl, as I stepped back out into the corridor and looked up and

    Haha! @Summerabbacat I could send Coop over to investigate that scandal if you would like ... but I fear he may get distracted by Christopher Atkins! 😋

    @Summerabbacat you'll just have to read on, McDuff! 😁

    -- Chapter Nine -- I was still feeling pissed about the events of the morning. Being accused of murder isn’t exactly the best way to start your day, but aside from dealing with my own issues there was still a lot we needed to do today, which Helen reminded me of as we sped through the suburbs. Right now we were on our way to pay a visit to young Jimmy, as we needed to check in and see how he was handling his confinement, as well as talk to him about what Shane had told us from his hosp
