Also, Joe's opinions are challenged as is his approval of his boy's sexuality. Maybe he can get passed it, maybe not. Maybe he needs some persuasion. Maybe a slap in the head. THANKS FOR READING!!

In this chapter, the team has breakfast and sets out across the plains toward the mountain and whatever fate awaits them there. Along the way, the team has some time to kill. Neb opens up a bit and we get to learn a bit about her. There's a great deal of music referenced in this chapter. If you're a music lover, I recommend listening to some of it. It will enhance the mood. It's not necessary though. THANKS FOR READING!!

In this chapter, Bem finally gets his way. It's a LONG chapter and I probably should have spit it in half, but I don't believe in trading story for sex. Sex adds to the chapter, the story still has to move forward. I hope you enjoy the read. THANKS FOR READING!!
