INTEMPERANCE X - Chapter 7, Fighting Fire With Fire
Added 2025-08-01 10:28:40 +0000 UTCHere is the next chapter of the saga. As demonstrated, the use of the photographs turned out to be a little more complicated than what has been suggested. I stand by the legalities for the time period in California. Let me know what you think.

I will answer this yet again. I thank you for actually providing the relevant quote in your email. I said he will never set foot in that recording studio again, meaning Studio A. I DID NOT say he would never set foot on The Campus again. He is in the studio building. NOT in the studio itself. Hopefully this clears up the confusion.

Now in chapter 7 book 10 Jake walks into the studio with Drew and the first person to speak is Matt Tisdale. So the question is which one is correct? Because obviously they both can't be! right?

2025-08-16 18:29:29 +0000 UTCThe Watcher would still have to PROVE, in a court of law, that Drew is the source of the photos. There could any number of explanations for why he is at the campus if that leaks. Nobody has to believe those explanations, they just have to disprove them, which is impossible. Stay out of the mindset that the characters of both sides care if people know the truth of something in this case. It's what can be proven and the circumstances have flipped the burden of proof onto the Watcher and off of its victims for once. A nice irony.

2025-08-08 06:46:32 +0000 UTCStill love this chapter on a second read. But I think Jake is playing with fire. Meeting with Drew at the Starbucks was a risk, as is letting him stay at The Campus (as mentioned above). Once the story breaks, The Watcher is going to try and blame everything on Drew, I assume. And any connection to the Kingleys is going to cause trouble. i also think walking with Serena outside the Watcher / the library was an unnecessary risk. Why take the chance of someone seeing Jake and Laura (or worse taking a photo) right outside the Watcher just before all hell breaks loose. Serena is anonymous, no one knows her. Let her take the car, or just drive her and drop her off. I know Jake and Laura hung back a little bit, but he has one of the most recognizable faces in LA and the pap are on the lookout for him right now. An unnecessary risk.

2025-08-02 11:07:12 +0000 UTCAl, just a clarification. I noticed that you wrote in this chapter that Jake and Laura went to retrieve the F150 at San Luis Obispo Regional, Isn't that F150 kept in Whiteman? I meant if Jake and Laura were going to the Campus from San Luis Obispo Regional airport, wouldn't the vehicle parked there be either Jake's BMW or his SUV or Laura's car that is used at the Kingsley Manor? Just a minor thing I picked up, You have been doing a great jib, Keep it up, Al.
