This is not a standalone story. Unless you have read the previous chapters, it will not make any sense. As always, I want to thank my editors, Terry and Snow. Both of them made this story possible. They contributed in so many ways, talking through scenes, deciding what to include or exclude, as well as just making sure that the spelling and grammar were righ...

I know there can be some confusion when you switch the point of view, so I am going to...

You get a bunch of relative strangers together in something where there are things going on and you need to find a way to get things said and out of the way.
