"But that Captain was a five on the richter scale..." Made me lol. And Babcock and Simmons are nasty bastards, but very entertaining. Poor Hutch. "His emotions were on a high wire act, dangling." Love the imagery. And wisdom of the ages from Huggy! How many times have I played this very same game with others!? Astute analysis, entertaining and sweet. Thank you partner!

Nancy, wonderful story. Starsky can ALWAYS turn Hutch's bad moods around. OK, so if Hutch is a Polar Bear, that begs the question …...

Love it. More please!

This story is a delight. It made me laugh out loud several times and yet was so poignant. I loved the way you showed what gets Hutch down and how the boys can always help each other out of a dark place. Great story.

:D
