This story was equally as interesting as it's first part. It had the emotion, turmoil, and meddlesome characters of the first one, all written together to make a wonderful story. The torment Mark went through was felt as much as read. Hardcastle's determination to get to Mark and help him was one of the things that made this one great.

Loved it, and thanks for sharing.

Judge Hardcastle and McCormick are always on each others side,most of the time anyway.Even when they agree to disagree they always come through for each other.Even in Horrible times like Mark went through especially in this story.

I read this long time ago.I liked it then and now.

Keep up the good work.
