A The Assignments Story Things do not always go the way we might like them to. When you get the feeling that it was too easy or went too fast, it means something may go wrong. It usually does. This is a happier version of another story. No one dies. But....'stuff' may happen that make a lot not 'purty'. Did I mention no 'horses, dogs, pigs or chickens were harmed in writing this story?
A The Assignments Story Same old. same old. Not really, they had corned beef in the cafeteria tonight and I was going to miss it. The things we must do for god and country, no, wait that's UK talk. Some of you old enough and were around Foggy Bottom might remember how things were in 1968. You also might know the feeling that every shooter was also the target of someone else. That's just the way it's done; beats 'plausible deniability' by a mile. Luckily no bus drivers took part, Army and the INSCOMM Spooks took point.
A The Assignments Story There was only one thing to draw him to her, OK, maybe because she was blond, cute, looked like a model and acted like a slave, had something to do with it. He really just wanted to help her.
Frank, Alex and Gina join in at Ch. 2, Boris, Katya et. al. are now 'friends' in Ch. 3.
Now there is a 'real' team behind him, now the Evans and Vincent 'thing' can be 'taken care of'. Even more as everyone gets into the act, as a team, eventually.

Wherever we went, my fat ass and belly went with me. One morning, at breakfast I left Lenny's after breakfast determined that it was to be the fist day of the rest of my new life. I knew I was not going to be able to do this miracle by myself. No one had said anything about my size. I was used to making jokes about it myself. When it dawned on me that I had been missing out on more than I could imagine I would try, if she would only help me.
A The Assignments Story She had it all. When Jack first saw her she did not have very much, maybe not even her life. She was carrying a baby though and for some reason, the help that he got from 'The Firm' that night made him grasp a better understanding of what the phrase 'We take care of our own' really meant.
A The Assignments Story Different people have various meanings for those few words. In general, it means that some conclusion about something important has been reached. Now, it does not mean that the correct conclusion has always been reached; as this story indicates that.

I was not the only one it had happened to, but I wish it had happened earlier, like before the wedding. As it was I felt that it was not a 'Sweet Sorrow' when we parted. I missed my short-term father-in-law in my life though. It was a chance to start over but, 'did I even want to'. Once burnt was enough right now. Never say never!

A new start. That's what Paul finally decided he needed. He gave his all to not only finish the job, but to insure that the objectives the customer expected were met or exceeded. Work was not just for a client, now a friend. They had worked side by side for over a year on things. Now it was over and time for him to move on. He loved his job, the work, the clients but hated his boss. Ch 1-27 have been corrected.
A Story in the Chance Encounters Universe
I guess you would have had to have seen that mountain. The mist rising from the base, sunlight glistening down from cloud filled skies and nary a sound. Charlie was telling us all how it is or was once, the simple life. That was the time before the big time hit. Success and Vegas too, can take a lot out of a man, Ronnie too. After a show water, coffee, juice came before even food. We talked, not about the show or how great they were but about the old days. Those simple days of old.
