Several of the commenters, who I love for their constancy, have commented about the end of this story. I ask all you lovely people to hold your congratulations and kindness about the end until we get there. The mystery is resolved, but the story isn't quite done. I hope you like the chapter! ENJOY!

It looks like Law is going to be alright and that he and Walt will continue to be husband and husband. Even more importantly, Alex Scofield is optimistic about Larry's chances of being exonerated of the murder. Instead of spending a bunch of time on the tedium of the legal process, let's jump ahead to the celebration. ENJOY!

Worried about Law? Good! Me too. What did you think of Ted's story? Did it make sense? Did all of it ring true? I wonder. What about Scofield? Do you think he'll be able to take Law's work and turn it into freedom for Larry? I hope so. What do you think the new chapter holds? Why not take a look and see? ENJOY!!

Shinola (pronounced shine-ola) was a shoe polish manufactured from the end of the 19th century until 1960. The brand is where the cliche 'you don't know shit from Shinola' came from. Why does that matter? You'll have to read to find out. ENJOY!

I can almost hear you collectively asking "now what?" Now what, indeed. What does one do when one is out of one's depth? Usually, one asks for help. Who can Law and David ask? We'll have to read to see. ENJOY!!

Did you know that the first driver's license with a photo on it was issued by the state of California in 1958? The other states followed sometime later. That means the license in Ted's wallet, having been issued in 1953 or earlier, would have had no photograph on it. Why does that matter? You'll have to read to find out. ENJOY!

Well, now we know that Ted couldn't have gone off with Karloff on February 6th, because he was dead on January 20th. What's it mean? It means Stan lied. Why did he lie? I suspect Law is going to try to find out. When we left him, he was chatting with Smokey. Let's see what they're chatting about.

Tea or Coffee? What brand? I drink Lacas tea and light roast specialty coffee. I'm a coffee snob. Are you? As for the chapter, we finally arrive at the races. Are you eager to breathe the exhaust and the roasting rubber? Let's go racing!!

"Gee, Brain, what are we going to do tonight?" "The same thing we do every night, Pinky, try to solve a murder!" Yeah, I know that's not the line. Forgive me for taking creative license or whatever. Tonight we're going racing, but we may need to make a quick detour along the way. Wait until you see what happens while were detoured. ENJOY!

What song stops you in your tracks? What tune will make you ignore everything else and listen until it's over. What is the most meaningful music you've ever heard in your whole life? For me, it's 'A Day in the Life' by The Beatles. What does this have to do with the story? Not a thing. It was just on my mind. ENJOY!

Happy Sunday! In this chapter, our intrepid duo seek out the rooming house where Larry & Ted lived. I wonder what they'll find there. I wonder what 'intrepid' means. I lifted the phrase from the old Batman series. I couldn't have called Law and David 'caped crusaders' because they're not wearing capes. Ahem...never mind. On with the chapter!

"It's a damn shame you can't pick your family." My father says that. Usually he says it at dinner, when the whole family is there. I think he's kidding. Anyway, families can be tough. Let's see how Law deals with his.

Hello! I appreciate the thoughtful reactions and comments on the last chapter. That one was rough. I hate it when Walt and Law fight. Hopefully their argument will be settled in time. We'll just have to see. ENjoy!

Seems the universal opinion of Smug Stanley is a poor one. I couldn't agree more. I like Hank Kellerman, though. He seems like a solid guy. It's nice that Law has a path forward. Off to the races to find Mel. In the mean time...

MERRY NEW YEAR!! Extra points if you can tell me what movie that saying is from. Welcome to H&H Auto Repair. I wonder what David and Law will discover there. Maybe they'll get an oil change...or a lube job. If this story was a little different, the lube job would have been definite. Maybe we'll do a story like that next. For now, enjoy!

This morning I received an email from story contributor and beta reader Bill C. He said, "if it's done, let's have it, please." As he usually is, Bill is right, and he said 'please.' Therefore, I'm going to post daily for a while, then every other day until the end. I hope this will make the audience happy and garner some additional readers.
