Advisories in Part 1 really are in effect this time including : Language, Violence (of the spousal abuse and death varieties), Angst (the angst fairy hit this one hard.),  Death (This is a big one! With blood even.), And yes he really is an asshole! With name calling and degrading commentary in regards to sexual orientation.

Notes:

Are the time stamps working for everyone? I hope so there was a lot of stressing on my part over the flow of this chapter.

Speaking of the flow of this chapter ... I know this was a short update. This is working out to be a long (huge!) chapter. Originally it was supposed to be two chapters and then I realized that there simply was not enough things going on for two chapters so I combined it into one. That was working really well. Except part way through the writing of part 2 certain characters who will remain nameless smacked me upside the head with their personalities!

I tried to ignore it. It didn't work and really what they hit me with I should have noticed a long time ago! It should have been planned for from the beginning. It wasn't. That is a failure on my part.

Now I am playing catch-up and adjusting (lots of adjusting! Ugh!) the story to fit. It has been interesting. Some of what I had planned has been altered, some tossed entirely, and new plot lines have been added. So as we go on from here if anything at all isn't working or is coming across just plain weird don't hesitate to let me know! I'm scrambling a bit here. I'm trying to make it seamless. I might not succeed.
