Deb seems to be trying, but not enough. That invisible umbilical cord is going to wrap itself around her and choke all the life out of her before she starts to even begin to try getting on with a new life. Fucking Mikey alwsys at the ready to spoil it for someone else. Maybe when she sees the doctored wills, which I don't doubt they are, she'll finally be able to see him for the weasle he truly is and that cord will be cut.
Harry was given a lot to handle and think about. I'm positive there won't be a repeat of the injustice of Justin's bashing trial. Michael and cohorts are seeing plenty of jail time and they'll or at least Michael will be going in broke.

All these twisted paths are fantastic.
I think Kinnetik Inc, Holdings whatever is going to be one of the fastest growing businesses around. Getting the right people to work for them may be a bit harder.
Eric and his crush on Justin. Troy Perkins Brian's ex huslter and Justin wannabe. And Chris Hobbs twin brother. Justin couldn't look at him day after day. These guys would drive them both insane.
Is Dale working along with Ted or just helping with the start up? It looks like time for talking with Jarod and Josiah and get their in put.
Author's Response:
Hey Sherry! I'm so happy that you are enjoying this insanity. I'm still in shock along with you, everyone else and our favorite duo. It's going to be interesting to see what comes from the arrivals of Troy, Eric, and Christian. I mean seriously, WTH is Christian Hobbs doing there?! Time to investigate that boy's motives just a little sooner rather than later, right?
Kinnetik is definitely on the move. Fortunately, they have the right people at the top working for them. Dale is definitely going to work along with Ted as a consultant. And yes, we will be seeing more of Jared and Josiah very soon. YAYYYY!!!! I really do like them! LOL! Brian and Justin are finally building friendships outside of the Avenue, where there are NO degrees of separation.
Stay Tuned , Darling!

It started well, but the end is quite chaotic; the past is coming to bite them in the ass, not in a life affirming way.

Hey Claire! I guess this chapter was definitely the quintessential calm before the storm situation Even I was NOT expecting these three characters to show up!

Oh, wow, these new storylines are fantastic. Just goes to show the past comes back to haunt everyone at some time, but knowing Brian & Justin and how you can write so wonderfully, it is just going to make this story so much better. Hope you are feeling better day by day.
Author's Response:
Marilynn Darling! So wonderful to hear from you!
First, thank you so much for the compliment! It's strange how this is all coming together. So many surprises thus far in this fic, and then the arrival of these three! Totally not expected, but it will be interesting to see what they do and what their motives are from here on out.
Today, I'm in some pain, but you know...I'm here and writing so I'll take the WIN!
HAPPY READING AND HUGS!

First off, I was so excited to see a new chapter. I love this story. Love how Daphne is onto Justin. Ted is coming up in the world in this story. Then you give us the Justin look-a-like, Eric of the frat party, then you top it off with Hobbs having a gay twin brother. Possible incest?
Author's Response:
Hey Phyllis! First, thank you for your continued support to my work, and that of the other authors producing on here. It means so much to all of us!
As for your review, LOL! I LOVE Justin and Daphne's friendship! They are awesome to write this way for so many reasons. Nothing like having a person by your side who knows just about every dirty little secret you have, but still loves you unconditionally even knowing the worse about you. Daphne is like one of the 'roots' to Justin's 'tree'. Her support and friendship nurtures him in such a way that he will always be able to stand tall in the face of adversity. Brian and Jennifer are his other roots'. As for Brian, Justin and Cynthia are that for him, but I think he's finding more that he never knew he had. Jennifer, Ted and Mel come to mind. I remain amazed and privledged to be able to bring their characters out this way. It's been a very humbling, and inspiring experience!
Then there are the surprises coming up from this chapter....PHEW! Even I didn't expect THEM! Eric and Troy....SMH that's all I can think about them at the moment, but the real surprise was Christian Hobbs! Now what is HE doing there?! We will soon find out!
Stay Tuned Darling!
HAPPY READING and HUGS

I love waking up and reading these early in the morning.
Mel on Brian and Justin's side is something I really do enjoy. Who knew?
Of course Debbie is a zillion steps backwards sometimes. Heck, she can't change overnight. She's had years of reacting the old way. People can change, but it takes time and effort.
Thanks

Will Deb change and not run to save Michael? We will see for the moment I am like Emmett I will have a hard time forgiving her it is necessary that she does a little more by that for the moment it has not changed too much. Vic is right about forgiving for oneself but it's too early. Lance must pay for all his help to Michael I agree with what Brian and Justin want. I hope the AD is honest. Great chapter, waiting for the next.

Great chapter. Wow you gave Vic such wise words. Things are finally moving forward to hang the idiot. Great writing.

Thank you for your response. I believe I better understand your point of view. I still don't agree, but I appreciate it none the less. I know many people will consider me a horrible person, but it is just how I personally feel. My views on this is so strong that that reading everything up to the Mel and Harry part, I literally felt nauseous. I've never disliked Vic more than I did in this chapter. Anyway I really love your stories, sometimes I just get a little too into them. Thanks again for your response.

Deb seemed on the right way until the call; I'm surprised by the call: didn't Carl and Deb date at that time?
Emmett and Vic's scene was enlightening.
Date: Jul 15, 2018 5:39 am Title: UNDER RECONSTRUCTION
Ok, I'm going to start off by saying I love all your stories, so please don't take this the wrong way. But WTF, I know I'm must be a horrible person, but why why must they forgive Debbie. What she willingly did to Brian and Justin for the sake of her horrible son and herself is unforgivable. And what does Emmet and all of the others have to be forgiven for? All they have to forgive themselves for is that they trusted Debbie and Michael to begin with. And also why after Debbie reverted to her true self did Emmett have to apologize to her for walking out? I'm thoroughly confused. But the last section between Mel and Harry was very interesting, I can't wait to hear more about that. I can't wait for the next chapter.
Author's Response:
Hey Regina,
Let me just qualify what Vic was saying here about forgiveness. One thing I've learned about the act of forgiveness is that you can forgive a person, but still have nothing major to do with them and their lives. It doesn't mean absolution, which is really the act of freeing a person from blame or guilt. "Forgiveness is for YOU, not them" means just that. It is a choice of whether you choose to grow and learn from the experience, or remain stuck and continue to be hurt by it. And I don't know about you, but I absolutely REFUSE to let someone cause me to dwell on them well past the incident(s).
By not forgiving those who hurt you in life, they keep power over you- both mentally and spiritually. They have an emotional hold over you where if they walk into a room, your mood instantly changes causing a physical reaction often manifested in a frown, snarky comments or displaying 'attitude' as we know it. It takes far more effort to forgive and move on with your life- either with them or without them in it- than it does to stay mad, but it also shows your character as a person. It is intergral in keeping the integrity of the core person you are, or are growing to be. That is why the act of forgiveness is so important. It's so that you can be a whole person, not just a shell of one through the careless and thoughtless actions of others.
Thank you so much for your rant (LOL) and giving me a chance to explain this point of view a bit further.
HAPPY READING AND HUGS,
~Nichelle

Love how Vic talked Emmett down from his hatred or is it disappointment of Deb. She talks a good talk then falls back into her old ways. I hope she can turn her life around if she has the chance. I almost feel sorry for Lance.
[Report This]Date: Jul 15, 2018 3:47 am Title: UNDER RECONSTRUCTION
Deb will get to the point where she won't feel the need to run to save Michael, but it WT take a lot of time and a week or two just isn't enough.
Vic was right to tell Emmett that he will have to forgive himself then eventually Deb, it is something that will need to be repeated for Brian, Justin, Mel and Ted too.
Lance is about to learn you don't lie to your attorney and you especially don't lie to family, Harry is going to guarantee that Lance doesn't walk away with a slap on the wrist and he faces where His Actions lead to These Consequences.
I was wrong in an earlier review Lance wasn't innocent he was always guilty.
I so hope that D. A. is honest and looking to put the bad guys away and not punish the innocent??
Michael Kept A Journal of Devious Plans? What A Maroon!!!!
Guess reading comics taught him nothing lol
Author's Response:
LOL, BLUE!!! I was just reading over the feedback for this story, while gearing myself up to finish up the next 'Precinct Blues' installment, which hopefully will be posted tonight. Some key parts are about to be referenced more frequently going forward so, although I remember everything to the smallest detail in my head, I still wanted to be able to pinpoint the chapter where the situation started in this story in case anyone asked as so often happens in the reviews for later chapters. Anyway, I seriously had LAUGH OUT LOUD at the Bugs Bunny reference from one of my very favorite episodes in the Looney Toons 'Great American Chase' movie! Michael's downfall is totally like a cross between watching the ultimate fall of Marvin the Martian at the hands of Bugs, and the whole 'Duck Dodgers and the 24th and a half century' arc, also featuring Marvin the Martian. You know the end result, but you still can't look away from the fuckery.
Thanks for this comment!

Another fantastic chapter. Loved the scene where Lori kicked Claire and Cragi out. Craig is just as bad as Michael- how can you treat your own child like that?- Rhetorical question- but still- Hope Justin and Brian don't freak when they realize who Lori is.
Date: Jul 14, 2018 1:41 am Title: PRISON ORANGE IS NOT YOUR COLOR, BUT
So many wonderful things happen in this chapter- Really enjoyed the scene with Justin and the new client. Michael is an ass- I can't ( really I can) believe that he thought he could get away with calling in that Brian and Justin were using drugs. He doesn't think things through. If he thought that the police finding drugs in the Loft would enamour Brian to him and make him leave Justin- he was so wrong. But I love the consequences- Michael in jail and Justin throwing the book at him- literally.

Craig, Craig it looks like you may be next to get a formal introduction to Jennifer's fists.
If Lori knows about Peter than she and soon everyone else will know that Craig has been stealing from Justin for years and he might need armed security when they have to tell Jennifer.
Wonder if Peter looks like Justin or Molly and if he is just as smart? (I seriously hope so despite his parents)
Good that Brian and Justin want it stipulated that they want to be kept abreast of what is going on concerning Michael and his Cronies.
Perhaps Brian and Justin should have the loft redone over again too along with their new home?
Lance may have some mental problems but it really doesn't excuse the road He Decided to go down to help Michael.
Oh Man This Is Getting Good!!!

The trust between Mel and B&J is impressive; they have a common goal, but it's not only that; Mel is seeing what B&J means: a strong duo/couple working amazingly together on so many levels.

OMG! Craig is in deep shit. When Mel gets the details Craig will be looking at jail time. So Peter is Justin's younger brother. That will make a difference in a good way for Peter because Justin will not let his brother be taken advantage of. Can't wait to see how Mel's meeting with Harry goes.

Great chapter. Oh, I love the new word "slore". And, in this case it can apply to Claire, Michael and probably Lindsay on a good day. Great idea. See I just know you are feeling better. The Mojo is in high gear again. Terrific writing as usual.
