BOO's favorite paragraph: Cody smelled the dirt he walked on. Every bush he encountered cast an eerie shadow in the bright, star-filled West Texas sky. He feared Earl Anthony Schroder lurked behind each one of them. Home would be a safe haven, but he could not risk luring the beast he avoided there. Nor could he jeopardize those he loved. Cody never felt so alone in his life. He pressed on.
Well done,mate. BOO-tastic!

Hello Bret, Good morning:

Okay now, don't you think for a minute that I am not going to ask you, "Whay in the Hell didn't the Sheriff, Cody's dad just shoot the disgusting creep? Why would he just let him walk off threatening them both as he went?"

Oh h___ no! He is the Sheriff and this is his son who has been extremely abused in every way and kept away from his parents for years. Even the very sight of the bruises on his face should have been enough to sen the Sheriff into a crazed madness but then this creep arrives and starts to threaten the Sheriff and his son and tells him he is not man enough to kill him. Okay I am going to give you the benefit of the doubt.

You will probably say that the Sheriff did not want to deal with him until he got his son safely home but I will be following to see that the Sheriff gets justice for his son Cody.

    Earl Anthony Schroder is Cody's biological father.

    The abuse Cody suffered was while he lived with Earl Anthony Schroder in Palo Pinto before he came to Astatula and was adopted by Sheriff Daniels.

    If the Sheriff had shot Earl Anthony Schroder in that situation it would have been murder, since Earl Anthony Schroder was unarmed.

    Had Schroder committed a crime? Yes, assault.

    Should Sheriff Daniels have apprehended him? Yes, but in that situation it would have made for a very short book.

    Glad you are following this story.

    Much more to come so I invite you to ride along.

Excellent chapter. Taut, gripping. The story moved forward. Again, you surprised me. I was sure this bad guy would hurt the Sheriff or get to Cody before the Sheriff did.

I'll be awaiting the next installment. No nits.

Hi Brett,

In the background part of your story in the first part of it and the last line it should say: He knew IF the chances were real good he wouldn't. The
rest of what you've written is wonderful and I really enjoyed reading it.
I will be looking forward to more of you great work.

Kat

This chapter is very well written, Brett. I think this is the first time I've read any of them on Cody, but what I have read here is interesting and top-notch. The image of Cody is adorable. Great choice for the focus of your story. Marilyn

I think I did check in on this story often enough not to miss a post. But I'm not sure now because I find myself "on" Cody instead of Brandon, where I'd started the read. Is this a separate story from that of Brandon or do they conjoin at some stage?

    Cody is always a separate story from anything else I write.

    I will return to Brandon's story as well very shortly.

I have a question, Brett. I thought that the antagonist was dead. I know I didn't read the first few chapters and probably won't now, but just wondering.

Take care, and have a good week.
