All I have to say is WOW!!! These two people have gone through so much. Another great chapter!
As stated below, WOW. Concerned about more shock. Kept thinking Kim-ly was going to be a surrogate mother.
(Still trying to decipher the scene of Kim-ly on Chapter one, page one.)
Wonderful story. I have to ask you why you hate and despise Don and Lanh so much? You’ve given them nothing but heartache and turmoil their entire lives. Seriously the only truly happy moment you didn’t destroy was their wedding. I’m sure hoping you turn it around for them.
I'm so glad he survived. The story might have ended there. You skillfully slipped in information like the looks on Lt. Colonel's face and slid in the switchblade so that later they would play a part of the story and be understood. Good job! On to the next chapter. Going to be tough to be better than the first 7.
I was in the AF for 33 years, worked B-52 and F-16 avionics. In all my time, I personally only saw one idiot get hit with a blast from an F-16, but I have seen trucks that got blasted and flipped. To give you an idea, the guy I saw get flipped walked behind a jet just as it was starting to taxi and got taken off his feet and blown 20 or so yards. He was about 6'5 and around 300lbs. Behind a jet that is throttling up is definitely not a place you want to be. I definitely could not imagine someone blasting others on purpose. Everyone on the FL knows that they can kill.
Great last couple of chapters with the AF thread. You never say what AFSC he is, but since he did bombers and fighters I am guessing he was a crew chief or E&E. As an avionics person swapping between airframes back in 1999 I had to go back to school and there is no mention of that here. Only people I know who could swap back then were those two.
