I mistakenly uploaded an older version of chapter 17. A newer version is in the queue.
This is what happens when you write on different platforms and don't save to the cloud or update filenames. Luckily, the newer version was still open on my iPad.
If the reference to Alfred and Michael confused anyone, the previous version kept Michael as a separate character. "He" and Alfred had a cyber bromance going on. I liked it, but an alert beta reader pointed out how it detracted from the main story arc. He was correct, this version is better.
