So, this agricultural area lives by their own rules to some extent. That would make sense on several levels, and since food and what is useful is being produced, how much can the Federal and State governments really do without upsetting the apple cart. I like Frank. Still not sure what the deal is with Tom though. And now we know why Ms. Alice will never take Dante to her bed.

Well, looks like Luke got more than a few shocks and all in one day. I think he should have told Matt, and hoped he didn't lose it to badly. Tony will have a story to tell, and let's hope the guys can help. Well done...

Let's hope the article and the written statement help but wouldn't count on it. All those that did not get something will now want something of their own. LOL Hope that Ludo and Arthur and the boys hold tight to each other and ride this out. Gordy was a nice diversion, but I am still holding out for our Detective friend. I think they will have help from unexpected corners, angels are among us. Great chapter.

Well, that explains so much. Fab has a connection to the family in a way that few can claim. His parentage will guarantee him a place in their lives unless he is an idiot and does something truly heinous. I did so appreciate his ratings and have to think based on past scenes would have to agree with him. A little pissed at Stef for how he dismissed Marc's assault on Brad, and yes, it was an assault no matter how it ended up. Glad that Will did not back down in his view of how things were. I will be interested to see how Brad handles his next meeting with Fab. Will and Travis are just too cute together. Travis wanting to run around with Chris Mendoza does worry me a little, I don't think he will handle some of that as well as Will has. Travis, while not innocent, doesn't seem as mature in some areas as Will is. Glad we are getting some time with Matt and Wade; I have missed them. Wonderful chapter as always, although while reading kept wondering what George had been up to. LOL.

Wonderful start to this story, I can't wait to see how this progresses. When will AJ realize he has an ability? Will it take something big to set it off?

I am sorry. In my experience, those that are super religious simply do not listen, they are so sure they are right, that they can't hear anything that anyone says to them that isn't in line with their beliefs.

Great news and so well deserved...

Who knew, milkshakes were the answer to it all... Great chapter, I am so glad that Ben is starting to get his memory back, hopefully he makes a full recovery. I understand him and Sam going back home, and I also understand Sam needing some space. But let's hope that is short lived. Let's hope that Matt and Justin are able to find something else, may not be what they want, but something to keep them busy. Excellent chapter...

Indeed.

Well, we all knew this was coming, I half expected them to be at the meeting for some reason. I find it strange that after all this time, Ralph still says " His Gordon ", I know, a slip of the tongue but I think a bit more really. Nolan is right, best to call and set a meeting, wouldn't do to have them met up by accident somewhere with the kids, and everyone freak a little bit. Just love this chapter, and well the whole story.

What an interesting delight. I would have like to see Devlin come back as a young adult and see how he had matured, yea right. LOL Really nicely done, and more than enjoyable.

Interesting how this jumbled some of the authors we see grouped together in different ways.

Tom is an ass but is he really or does he just find Dante attractive and like a young person on the playground have to hit the person he likes. Frank is interesting to me, he seems a little slow, but very good natured. The kind of guy that wants everyone to get along. Mistress Alice is subversive. Love her.

While Ben was hurt, and has a loss of memory, that we can only hope is temporary; it sounds like it could have been so much worse. If they had not gotten the engine running, but instead had been dashed against the rocks, Ben in his state, probably would not have survived. Sam realizes how much Ben really means to her, but will Ben find that he cares as much about her in the end? Will he fully recover his memory, or just bits and pieces? Harrowing reading this chapter, when something like this happens, so often there really is nothing you can do but gather your friends and family around you and hold on to good thoughts.

Hmmm...
