If Ironside needs time off for fishing in King Harbor, he could either bunk with the guys, or with Mama Jo? Something to think about.

Cinnamon? As in like, Cinnamon Carter of "MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE"? Very interesting. Now, we just need Jim Phelps, Rollin Hand, Willie Armitage, and the other I.M.F. agents to come to the rescue at hand, as it were?

Who owns the Edsel in question? I adore Edsels when it comes to classic autos. Maybe a visit from the Addamses would help?

So what if the D.A.'s office is smaller than expected? These things happen, you know. Just where did Reston exactly come from? No matter, he may just need a run-in with Perry Mason's pal, Lt. Arthur Tragg.

This Styles dude sounds too dishonest for his own good. Someone needs to sic Nero Wolfe of the short-lived show "REX STOUT'S NERO WOLFE" onto him. Any questions?

Great, wonderful story. I liked the way you portrayed the guys, very realistic and in character. You are a great writer and I hope you will keep on Writing for many more years. I want more, much, much more. Pretty please?

You're driving me nuts here! I need the next chapter.

BTW I laughed (chortled?) out loud - at work - when I read the part about how Murray could even teach Cody and Nick how to use the computer. Fat chance of tying them down long enough!

Stubborn, insensitive, rude, uncooperative? Yup, that's our Nick! (And Jake, too.)

What a nice start into the new week...thank you. A huge compliment for the way you portray the different characters...great work. I am happy that Nick could escape and I hope he will make it back to his friends.

Ah, chapter two is great...I Love the Way You Show the different characters. Mc Cabernet, äs griffe äs usually ang Gertrude... äs always, cool and Award of what is going on. Poor Cody, he goes through hell und Poor,Poor Nick, he goes to hell and back! Perhaps it World bei better Not to bei so stubborn? Great Story!

Great beginning. I like the idea that Nick and Jake will meet...I am looking fortward to your nett chapter.

Hurray, a Riptide/ Jake and the Fatman crossover!
