The new chapters have been sent to the Moderators for posting.
This weeks chapters open with Max and Jill preparing to travel to Boston after doing their research on the crime families there. They arrive at their hotel there on Sunday afternoon.
Early Monday morning they head for Southie, hoping to locate help finding Frank 'the Fish'. Later a young girl begs them to help her Grandfather. Max deals with the hoodlums, and Jill takes care of Paddy O'Farrell. There are introductions and explanations on both sides, before they go to lunch at a local Pub.
Paddy volunteers to show Max where the Patriacas operate and arranges for them to stay in an apartment that he owns. Following lunch they go to check out the apartment before returning to Paddy's shop where they are confronted by three gang members who crash in the front door of the shop.
After dealing with them, Paddy recommends they move their SUV behind his shop, but the police are waiting at the SUV. Max makes it disappear and the police go in search of it.
After interrogating the hoodlums, Max and Paddy take one to see the gang boss. When he won't cooperate, Max moves all of them to the top of an office tower. When the boss still won't listen, Max pushes him off the top of the building, but the noose in the electrical wire won't hold his weight and he falls a dozen stories to his death.
Later, returning from dinner, they are accosted by three young men who want to rob them. After freezing them in place, they tie them up around a street light, and Max casts a short term shell around them before they return to their hotel. The next morning they move to the apartment that Paddy has for them.
More chapters next week.
I wish all of the readers on SOL a Very Merry and Safe Christmas.
Keep Well,
