This isn't a story chapter, as the story is over. This is the epilogue I mentioned when I posted the last chapter. Thanks for sharing your time with me!
Last Chapter dear reader. Thanks for still being here. There will be an epilogue sometime next week. No deep revelations, just some thoughts on the story and maybe some plans for the future.
Thank you so very much for reading. A special shout-out and thank you to Geoff, Jim, and Lee for being regular commenters. Your kind words reassured me and lifted my spirits after every posting.

Angus sits in on a meeting with Wes and Dolores Wade.
Dolores tells the tale behind the gold coins Cory had access to since he turned eighteen.
Johnny Lee has been put into the hospital after McCoy was there looking for Cory.
Someone else is after Cory Wade. McCoy knows it has to do with those gold coins.
The faster he goes the further behind he gets from Cory Wade.
Well, seems like the mystery is solved. What did you think of the solution? Seems like all that's left is some paperwork. Welcome to the next to the last chapter. I hope you enjoy it.
THANKS FOR READING!
In this chapter, we get to the climax, but not to the resolution of the story. This is the first of the three remaining chapters. In the comments for the last chapter, Geoff Fox suggested that the dog ate a piece of the jig saw puzzle that makes up this story. I suspect he was being silly, but he got closer to the truth than he realized. You'll have to read to see how close.

There are bigger fish to fry. McCoy has been charged with assault and illegal entry.

So far, things had worked out just as Jackie had described them to him. Maybe there wasnāt as much frisking involved as his unwitting partner in Jasperās escape had liked, but Hudson could do very well without it. The memory of his earlier pursuits involving Otis still lingered, and despite freshening up for his job, he could swear the sweet taste of his neighbor was still there on his tongue.
