I just put chapter 18 up for posting. It covers John's introduction to Brad right through the rest of the cocktail party and into the dinner portion of the evening. Sharp-eyed readers will see a lot going on and some of it will be deeply satisfying to people who've been looking for John to do something to hit back.
Thanks again to everyone who reads, writes, scores or reviews the stories I put up...except for the people that slap a 1-score on an incomplete story and walk away. We all want you to play in traffic. LOL
