Please finish this story! Tracy

Another wonderful chapter! The descriptions are so well drawn, you can hear the music and smell the food - as always with your stories. And the characters are perfectly drawn, the people we know and love yet slowly growing in their knowledge of their shared history and the relationships. I can't wait for the next chapter!

Really now? Why would this young man be looking for Johnny? Loved this chapter. :) Johnny's diversionary tactic was especially entertaining. Looking forward to your next update.

Love this chapter ending alluding to Johhny's "other" identity. Can't wait to see how you have Charles find out! Hope to see another hapter soon :)

This is such fantastic writing, captures the characters so well. A pleasure to read, thanks!

I've been reading this on Lancer_writers and like all your stories love it! I love the relationship between Johnny and Scott. There is so much respect here. Both looking out for each other but giving the other the space to react to the situation the way they see fit. Looking forward to the next chapter.

And finally, the entrance of my favorite character. :)

Well, this should be entertaining! Charles will probably find quite the story when he arrives at Lancer.

Ha! So this is Scott before Lancer. I gathered as much the first chapter, but wasn't certain. And dear Charles is lost in the supposed adventures of Scott's long lost brother. :)

I love the detail and descriptions you use with the scenery and people on the train, and that little encounter with the Indians was thought provoking as well. Very nicely written!

I've said it before and I'll say it again, I LOVE your writing. Even your OC's are intricately developed and intriguing. Looking forward to seeing where this story goes. It's so good to see this series continued. :D

As always, your stories are deeply infused with the kind of detail that makes the reader feel like he or she is actually there. I love how you portray Scott on his way West, and then Scott who is beginning to learn and own his place there. The man is completely recognizable and subtle changes in him and his world-view are both reasonable and perfectly illustrated. I hope there are more chapters in this one - I would love to know what Charles makes of his stay at Lancer and the people he meets. Great writing, a real pleasure to savor!
