Very proud of the way Gus talked to his father. Hopefully, Brian will think hard about the Greg situation. Also, maybe Brian will ask Mrs. Hadley if she has noticed anything.

Oh Justin. But I understand where he's coming from. If the situation was reversed, I don't think Brian would want to intervene.
We just need to go to the art show.
Thank heavens Brian had enough sense not to let Greg win about the master bedroom. So some of the "old" Brian is inside there somewhere.
Hugs, Cathy

“Brian!” a whiny voice said from the doorway. ( I shuddered, hearing Michael.)
Touché for Mrs Hadley! And don’t bring that man with you! Best line in the chapter. But, is Greg gonna come down, effectively making Brian choose?
Maybe Greg will get fired with the time he's taking off.

If you were trying to make us not like Greg, you succeeded! Brian's thinking with his wrong head.
Brian laid it on Gus about liking and accepting Greg, but did he lay the same speech on Greg?

Brian needs to prioritize. His needs or Gus'? I hope Mrs. Hadley continues watching Greg. She's smart, and thankfully, sees right through him.
Brian told Gus: Nobody is more important to me than you. Well, Kinney. Prove it!
This whole thing with Greg being a lawyer... I'm not sure how he passed law school. There's gotta be something there. Maybe he flunked out, and really isn't an attorny.
Man, Brian better get a clue. The man will rob him blind.
The art show: Maybe Gus should fold the newspaper in the morning and leave it in front of Brian's chair.

I'm interested in what Brian and Greg's 'relationship' is like. Are they strictly in bed all this time? You can only do that for so long. Do they go out to restaurants? Or spend time doing other stuff?
I could see that coming when we learned Brian was rarely home. You don't threat a troubled child like that. But Brian is new to this. I'm glad Mrs. Hadley intervened. The only thing, she doesn't understand the extent of it. I'm surprised, Brian didn't realize it himself.
Do I sense a friendship between Gus and Ravi?

I think Mrs. Hadley will be good for Gus. A positive female role, and older than Mel and Lindsay, so deserving of respect. Gus thinks about these people and how they don't know him, but he has to remember he doesn't know him, either.

A day with hope and without fear. Gosh, that tears at my heart. Gus is too young to have experienced that.
I had to laugh - his father was going to torture him or lock him up. Nothing like the vivid imagination of a kid. :D ... Is that from watching too many scary movies?
I wonder when Justin will make an appearance? And what's the reason why he shows up after so many years? Or what happened between him and Brian?

Again, impressed how they got along on their first morning together.
Brian should expect a very expensive charge at the grocery store. That kid will want everything he sees interesting. I remember my son at that age.
It's too early in the story, though, for this easiness to continue.

I'm happy to see how Brian and Gus fell into a sort of camaraderie. Gus almost seems like a different person than he was in Toronto.

Wow! What a nightmare! I'm interested in what Brian's plan is. (You know he has a plan.)
How is Brian going to work during the day when Gus needs supervision? Even if Gus goes to school, that doesn't mean he will stay there. To me, it almost seems like he needs 24/7 supervision.
Hugs, Cathy

Did Brian fall asleep on Gus' bed? That will not be a quiet exchange between Father and Son. The whole house will be woke up, and probably the neighbors, too.
I don't know why Mel thinks they all let Gus down. Brian did as asked. Her and Linds are responsible.

Why did Lindsay wait so long before calling Brian??? If this has been going on for TWO years, they should have called way before this. Maybe if they would have had Gus reach out to Brian - maybe told him that they asked Brian to stay away... Maybe, Maybe, Maybe...
If Michael visits Jenny, is he aware of what's been going on with Gus? I can't imagine Michael not calling Brian.
So, is Gus dealing, stealing, or both?
Maybe I should inject a little humor...
So Brian's getting old (er) and has decided to call a trick, saying he's interested - a BLOND trick - and now he has to take Gus - that might put a kibosh on those plans. Ahh, poor Brian.
It will be interesting to see if Brian still owns Britin.
Then Brian said military school ~ I laughed again, remembering how Justin told Craig what goes on at them.
Then the fond memory of Jennifer bringing Justin's underwear to Brian.
But the classic for me was Elm Street. You just had to have them living on Elm Street! I really did laugh at that. I wonder if Freddy lives down the street. (Sorry, this is just in jest.)
I'm not sure why I'm reading this at 2 AM. I'm getting goofy.

As you can see, I found a new story to read. ;) I missed a day... 2 stories to beta. UGH! Anyway, I really have to wonder what's going on. I HOPE Gus didn't get into some serious trouble. And what's wrong with Lindsay for her to allow Brian no access to Gus? I find that kind of bizarre, since Lindsay used to run to Brian about everything.
Hmm... I have to wonder if Brian stopped paying support. I'm fairly certain this was a Mel decision. I know Brian wouldn't want Gus to suffer, but maybe it would serve Mel right to have to do it all on her own.
Maybe Brian's new blond attorney specializes in child custody cases.
This is an amazing start.

Great story. I hope Brian tells Gus that he was asked to stay away. Seems that Gus blames Brian for some of the problems.
