Finally finished. I've had some personal issues that have kept me from concentrating on writing for a couple of weeks, but that's all over now.

This one is very Becky-centric. She wasn't part of my original plan for this story, but she knocked on my door one night, and I had to let her in. Glad I did, she's quite a minx.

When I saw the news of Hayden Panettiere's passing, it reminded me of my only attempt at a fan fiction story, "Claire's Secret", based on her "Heroes" character, the sexy cheerleader Claire Bennet.

I was going to let all you good folks know that chapter 4 was posted today, but based on the number of downloads, it looks like a lot of you already found it.
Thanks for your support. I'll try to be quicker with the next chapter.

I feel like I have enough followers now that I owe you an update on this somewhat stalled story. I finally found time this weekend to start the next chapter. I hope to have it ready to post by the coming weekend. I still need some 36-hr days.

Teaser: there is drama on the team (of course), and Alex may have found a girlfriend.

Sometimes the biggest challenge I have when starting a new story is picking names for the characters. In the last couple of years, I've found myself using names of people from my past, which can be a little strange, even though I think the chances of anyone I know reading my stories are somewhere between slim and none.

So, this morning I took my car in for an oil change at one of those 5-minute places. BTW, why do they call them that? I've never gotten done in less than twenty minutes, but I digress. Anyway, two young ladies serviced me (I mean my car; get your SOL mind out of the gutter). Their names were Crystal and Natalia. Definitely gonna use those names soon.

Hmm, let's see, a full-service garage with a very nice waiting room, big-screen TV, comfortable chairs, wi-fi, some private rooms staffed by... and here I go.
