They do, but the impression I’ve gotten about you from all the various things you’ve said since I’ve started to read your work leads me to build a picture of you in my mind. ;–)

How will Grant win over Brian? Natalie sees what neither Troy nor Brian see, that Grant has feelings for Troy. Grant doesn’t seem to know what to do with those feelings though. He’s not disturbed by them, so we won’t be seeing Grant turn into a Gay basher or anything. But Grant needs to own his feelings and acknowledge that he’s interested in Troy.

Why do I imagine Grant is a lot like Wayne? But I think I see bits of Wayne in Troy and Brian too. I can imagine Wayne doing yoga, eating healthy food, and doing construction work around the house. ;–)

Why would Eric show surprise twice over exactly the same thing?

"They would ask for the ransom?" Peter asked again to confirm. Yuri shrugged. "I'm putting together possibilities based on what I see. There is a possibility of several things, including taking you and asking them for ransom." Even my face showed surprise. "They would ask the Consortium, professional extortionists, for ransom before the Consortium asks for ransom from Makarovia? Extorting the extortionists?” Yuri held that hand up again. "It is possible. The Consortium has means to do it, but better. They would have used a fresh battery." He sighed. "I'm following evidence to piece things together using what we know with that evidence and history. "It's barely transmitting." He pointed to a green light that burned next to the letters GPS. “It should be a constant and steady green.” The light now was dull and faded to black slowly. "The battery is not common and may be hard to get where she’s from. The United States, Great Britain and most of Europe isn't difficult to find, but you have to go to certain stores there. Getting online would take time.” “They aren't the Consortium?" Peter stated to confirm he was understanding. “And no just slapping some triple A’s in?” Earl asked. “They willingly spend millions to make billions." Yuri pointed out. “They'd ask for the ransom?" Peter asked again to confirm. Yuri shrugged. "I'm putting together possibilities based on what I see. There is a possibility of several things, including taking you and asking them for ransom." Even my face showed surprise hearing that. "They would ask the Consortium, a group of professional extortionists, for ransom before the Consortium asks for ransom from Makarovia for us? Extorting the extortionists?" Yuri held that hand up again. "It is possible. The Consortium has means to do it better. They would have used a fresh battery." He sighed. "I'm following evidence to piece things together. Using what we know with that evidence."

Why are they sure that there is only one tracker? It would be easy to stick a barely functioning tracker where it could be quickly found while another, more sophisticated and powerful one was in a less accessible place. You know, lure them into thinking they’ve outsmarted the bad guys! ;–) By using one with a battery that’s nearly dead, there’d be less interference with the signal you actually want to follow! ;–)

Even after you updated the chapter, there is still that duplicated section.

You may or may not know, but these three Preludes were selected for publication by a musical Gershwin friend. There were many more written and unpublished during his life, and "Sleepless Night" is arguably the best known of theses Preludes

@chris191070, are you making sure to stay off the moors? ;–)

No, but I did guess who the donor would be! I know how you writers are. ;–) When my parents were diagnosed with cancer (separately, several years apart, and with different forms), I felt completely lost and clueless. I really didn’t know what was going on. The doctors explained things, but I just couldn’t absorb any of it. The rest of my family all seemed to understand more than I did.

If Jack was worried about mentioning Jimmy and Tyler to the young doctor, what will he do when the police come to interview him for their investigation?

But he was being honest with the girl! ;–)

Too bad Jett was being honest with the wrong person. ;–)

Well, seeing Jack hurt seems to have changed Jimmy’s feelings about the ‘horrors’ of being Gay. Will the possibility of losing Jack change his mother’s mind? She’s either going to thaw that icy heart, or there’ll be a divorce coming up quickly! I’m guessing Murray and the girls will rally the whole school behind Jack. The poor traumatized woman who was driving the van!

yes Gail wrote a novelization of another SNET series? ;–)

In the popular Shel Silverstein book, The Missing Piece, a Pac-Man-like circular character goes on a grand adventure, searching for the piece that will complete him. When he finds the exact-sized wedge that fits, he realizes that he was happier when searching than actually having it. ;–) Shel Silverstein also wrote A Boy Named Sue, made popular by Johnny Cash. ;–)

Did good intentions start a certain FBI agent down his eventual path? ;–) Note: this is a reference to another Wayne Gray story!

Did Gail write a book (product placement)? Is she getting kickbacks ‘considerations’ from an author? Or is it a promo for another SNET series (a form of the notorious crossover)? ;–)

I think that ability, along with its male counterpart, would be extremely useful in adult films. I know that orgasms on command are highly desired for those productions. But, in those cases, it’s more the ability to hold off until the director allows the action… ;–) I’ve seen some scenes where the actor has struggled mightily to produce long after the other actor(s) has completed his task. I’ve even seen a few where the director has been forced to give up on an actor’s money shot because it just wasn’t possible (and that’s the last time that actor has been in a movie). Stunt-doubles are also used when the editor and director are desperate and they have enough time and money to add the extra shot. ;–)

I still think April needs to fill Jett’s crack so Jett really knows what complete is! ;–)

Dan’s going to lose his cherry? ;–)

I need to know what book Gail substituted! She made a huge deal over it, even threatening to blacklist the director if he didn’t comply. What was it and why was it so important to her? ;–) And what kind of special effects budget do they have that they can make her nipples engorge? I really, really, really don’t try to notice them, but I remember seeing one coworker friend’s nipples protruding clearly through her bra and dress! And I know it wasn’t from seeing me. (Breasts get in the way of hugs.) ;–)

The growth is in his ambitions and plotting, they get bigger and more complex as he gains skills…

Did you introduce yourself when you were sick and congested? ;–)

When they encourage people to get their immunization shots for flu every year, the medical experts do mention that they aren’t 100% effective, but that they do tend to lessen the severity of the illness if you happen to catch a strain that isn’t included in that year’s formulation. There are also special versions of the flu shot for those over 65 years of age. I’m not quite that old yet, but it’ll only be a few more years… ;–)
