Maybe that construction site “just south of the south parcel” is where Zed will send Jo and Jeff to push each other’s reboot buttons… 😀 It’ll be a bit more difficult for Blood’s VC firm to build a housing development in a mildly radioactive crater, I think…
Too close to the truth, a threatening situation with a young woman’s heart at risk, a family up against pure evil with the nation tipping towards “Fatigue Wars”. What an epic plot devise.
“A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear.”
I was afraid it might be something such as this…The 1st “Met Cute” over a Roofie (or maybe not) didn’t sit well with my “antennae”.
Gawd made the right choice when he didn’t “Issue me Daughters”, multiple deaths and/or disappearances have been averted…as it is, friends and neighbors daughters(and random drunk college girls in bars/at concerts where I worked security) have been the only lambs I have had to dissuade wolves from nibbling, thus my emotions were not as involved, short term immediate diversion was achievable without the imperative of a permanent solution.
Don’t know if there are any pig farms (ranches?) in the area. If so, gather up a sizeable (a day’s worth? a week’s worth?) of pig scat. Make a helicopter midnight air drop of said scat onto the sand chigger construction area.
Lather, rinse, repeat.
Time for the Double D to diversify into raising pigs. Import a bunch of the feral ones from Florida, build very strong fences, and turn ’em loose. They’ll fend for themselves.
Catch the little ones, pen them and raise them on clean feed. Fantastic eating!
Texas is already infested with more than enough feral hogs, TYVM. It’s open season on the damned things year round.

It Would help this country if “our” politically ambishious did not see Political Power as a get rich quick scheme and an opertunity to grind people down.
It would help this country even more if the *voters* didn’t see getting “their guy” into power as a way to “soak the rich” by getting more free stuff from the government, and an opportunity to grind down people they don’t like, too.
The politicians are no better than the fools who *put* them into those positions in the first place.
Building close to the DD is a problem to discuss – an ISLAMIC community, that close? Is Blood that warped to work for a firm that plants “Invader” towns amoung the Christians and not expect trouble? What the actual track? Is the development dead in the water, if they can’t get Zed’s land for it?
All I got is questions, Chris is gonna have to juggle some answers. Where does Zed go for deeper intel to write his sequel, the CIA, Don Portano, who is highly hooked into business world-wide? This could be worse than the pederast Fed he terminated; Mari’s heart is involved! Waiting, with great interest….
Time to instruct two T-1000s to screw out their problems and insecurities at the development?
Jeff morphs into Blood leads partner to new con and nature (and thermodynamics take over.)
Witnesses see Blood, aka the boss.
Just hope his project’s insurance is the forgiving type.
Took care of the Chinese problem. I’m sure Zed can figure out how to use that.
It is the operative question, where and when did Z get his advance Intel?
Because if he’s known what he knows now prior, he has already made some plans…could the allure of sweet Mari, who does exhibit her Dad’s proclivities and abilities,not to mention some of Mom’s assets, be part of the plan to draw him in to do him in?

Ulterior motive of the wrongest-possible kind.
California again.
What is it about that state, the water?
Hopefully, Zed can head this off before it reaches the “Forget it, Jake- it’s Chinatown” level.

No, the water’s imported.
Yeah. They throw all the Domestic into the ocean.
Zar Belk!
He’s not Dead Yet.
So Zed’s got the 411 on Blood’s business, already. Not good, dammit. This is going to be “interesting”… like that old Chinese curse.

Hope Zed and Sam sit down with Mari and have a candid talk with her about John Blood.
And now we’re getting………the rest of the story.

I would sow a VERY wide minefield using Myth-Busters-type gas-mortar-sprayer mines filled with bacon fat, pig’s blood, and other offal.

Great twist, Maestro!
So, Zed’s sequel is written.
Now the Maestro just has to figure out what it is…
This is a case where “Daddy says no so go ask Mommy” is not the best idea.
