The new chapters have gone to the Moderators for posting.

This week's chapters open with Cleve telling to the rescue unit that they were under attack. Later after the shuttled land, a Marine Captain joins him. They are just starting toward the waiting shuttle when they are attacked by an aircar firing on them. The Marine's shuttles take it out at a safe distance.

At the Arnold spaceport, a bossy female Lieutenant Colonel tries to take control of Tiger Team and the two Marines. Clece points out that they are not subject to her orders. They are joined at this point by the Special Operations Representative to Addison III and her Partner.

At the Special Operations building, a large warehouse, the Partners are fed, and the Team retrieves their their personal gear. Following getting set up in their rooms, they return to the first floor where Trish has been working on the evening meal.

Dinner is very tasty, but is interrupted by Miranda who has a premonition that something is wrong. It isn't long after making preparations before there is a large explosion, and they are contacted by one of the destroyers which informs them that they had knocked out a missile headed their way. They are then attacked by two trucks mounting heavy weapons, however Trish has a cure for that.

Miranda detects others waiting for the first responders, and the Marines go on sniper duty. Cleve and all of the Partners go out to look for them. The Eagles provide pictures of the area. Cleve and the Tigers take out one of the rebels and go in search of the others. Bob takes out one and Susie stops a sniper.

Back at the warehouse, the police and other responders soon arrive with questions. The wounded prisoner is sent off to the hospital and the dead one to the morgue. The Team and the Chief Investigator go inside to question the remaining prisoner.

Enjoy these two chapters, more next week with additional action.

The opening chapters of this new story have been sent to the Moderators for posting.

The story opens on the space station above Addison III with the arrival of Tiger Team. The main characters and their Partners are introduced. On the way to the planet in a shuttle, they are shot down by missiles and crash in the jungle. Cleve rescues the pilot, and organizes those on the shuttle to march away from the burning ship.

On the march there are troubles, but the Partners eventually locate a savanna where they could be picked up by a rescue ship. The Partners discover that there are men waiting in the grass on the savanna to attack them. Cleve takes the chance and calls for the rescue mission. They are fired on shortly after he finishes the call.

This is the first installment of Partners, A Tiger Team story. I would like to expand it into a short series, if you find it enjoyable. I am currently working on Injustice III, and Magic ink VIII, but don't know when either story will be ready to be posted.

Enjoy the opening chapters of Partners. More next week.

On Saturday evening Max and Jill set out to confront Don Palladino and learn who he sent to Atlanta. They eventually windup hanging him and embarrassing his remaining men before leaving to return to North Carolina.

You will need to read the chapter to learn all of the details. This chapter concludes Injustice II. I have already started on Injustice III, which will wrap up many details along with confronting those directly responsible for the attacks on Magic users and the murder of Max's children.

While I am working on Injustice III, I will be posting another story -"Partners". It will appear in a couple of weeks when more of the editing is finished.

This week's chapters open with Max and Jill returning to Uncle Thad's farm. Jill explains what happened, and why they are so late returning. Later that afternoon, they catch up on what is happening in Charleston. The next four weeks are spent at the farm working and studying Magic with Uncle Thad.

In Elizabeth, NJ, Don Palladino is upset that the men he sent to Atlanta have returned with no new information about his Nephew's death, or the one who caused it.

There is still trouble in Atlanta. Four days after the curfew is lifted, the gangs, protesters, and radicals are back to start trouble again. The National Guard units have been prepared for this, and quickly arrive to confront them again.

By the end of August, Max has learned most of what Uncle Thad has to teach him. He offers to take them to the man who was his teacher in Tennessee. They purchase a pickup and Uncle Thad drives them up there a few days later.

Nicholas Kane is an intense older man who isn't sure that he wants a new student, but Max convinces him of his ability. That evening Max and Jill learn just how primitive the Kane farm is, but have little trouble adjusting.

The next morning, Nick's tractor won't start even with the equipment spell. That afternoon, they all go to Sneedville for a new battery and groceries. That evening, Nick begins teaching Max Magic.

Before preparing to leave some six weeks later, Max shows Nick the ammunition spell and the explosive spell. Nick wants to see them performed, but isn't interested in learning the spells.

The Story continues next Friday.
