I would have thought with all that body guard, "Security" needs stuff you would have had a few of the other ladies trained in firearms and also prepared to defend themselves and their "family". Especially with the threat of the Russians or some other country wanting to snatch Andy. Of course that Political Correct California stuff it would not be an idea even entertained. Everyone completely helpless except for specially trained "Government People". Women really can be trusted with firearms. Heck it was not a man with a rifle that won the West, it was a woman clutching a shotgun with kids around her, that actually "Won" the West. I really enjoy your story telling and even the silliness. So a five stars even when laughing at some things.
Rereading this, it suddenly struck me that Niko hadn't used the right approach when she found Andy missing. She should have used Piper to sniff him out.
I have not commented before. Sorry about that. I have really enjoyed this series so much. And enjoying your writings. Keep up the great work.
A 5 of course. I am glad there are so many authors jumping in. I am still convalescing from a car accident on October 4. They operated on my right hand on November 17. Can you imagine if all you could do with your right hand was hold a stylus. No serious typing. But it will soon be healed and just a bad memory. In the meantime, great stories to read.
Enjoying the story a lot but really wish there was more meat to a chapter. Something around 10-20k to sink my teeth into.
More, More .... MORE. Okay, I'm better now. Thank you for this story line. Also like some (okay, All) of your other offerings. Seems that other writers also really like it as well. Congrats!!
Aw, darn. I keep hoping that you'll remember to use the secret wings of the house in a chapter. I know it won't be for a while, of course, because the cast will be out and about the whole country. But don't let that be an under-utilized plot thread, please.
Otherwise, like everyone else has said, great story, keep up the amazing work!
We absolutely love this storyline! Our only gripe is that they are never long enough! LoL but if you wrote 2,000,000,000 words it wouldn't be enough! Keep going ! We will be waiting for your next piece of work!
Jacksonville native here (DUUUVAL), so I'm looking forward to what quirky storytelling you have with that trip. Also for the life of me I don't recall Piper being from Jacksonville, so that's a bonus.
In the US most officers unless they do something insanely stupid goes from 2nd LT to Captain in four years from commissioning. Then they are stuck at Captain rank for about a decade. So while its a bit of a jump its not a massive one. Its likely Niko was about to get bump up to 1st LT. So going to Captain isn't that big of thing.
Thanks again for the wonderful chapter. And thanks for your generousity in sharing your universe with the spin-off authors.
From 2nd Lieutenant (proper pronunciation is Left tenant) to Captain is a big jump-unless Redwolf was a Maverick.
Seriously, a 2ndLt has issues; The 2nd Lieutenant invariably stumbles over the doorstep when entering a building. Holds their arms out like wings, runs around the room and makes airplane noises when watching Top Gun. When in a combat zone, the 2ndLt is only issued a water pistol and when doing drill, calls out commands in a Mickey Mouse voice.
Little quibble - 4pm PT departure, 5.5 hrs flight time, 3 hrs. ET difference is 12:30 arrival, not 10. Great chapter, a real sense of motion and activity. Thanks for writing.
I am just guessing here... but I foresee problems in Jacksonville and LA for this trip. Love this tale and looking forward to more 5 stars as usual.
