A new Terran Underground story! Your last story got me hooked on the entire series. Do you have any idea how many chapters there will be or what your posting schedule will be? I will be eagerly waiting for the next chapter.

Since you started the feedback thread, let's use this folder for all feedback. There usually aren't that many readers.
I'll be updating the story as I'm able to. This isn't a tremendously long story, but there should be several parts.

Yay, a new story! Wow, Eric & Ruthy are young... so sweet that he basically proposed when she turned 7 <g> Ah, psychic partership...
So the question is, how do they get in touch with the Terran Underground? Eric was the guy who contacted Alan, so I know Westover and Linley won't be in this... always good to learn more about the other inhabitants of this universe.

"You told me you weren't like other men," she said, shaking her head at him when the storm of laughter had passed.
He grinned at her - a goofy, Clark Kent kind of a grin. "I have a gift for understatement."
"You can say that again," she told him.
"I have a...."
"Oh, shut up."

Oh, man, poor Eric... on the run with a baby sister. And Sam deserves a swift kick to the head.  Post more soon! PJ

Hi Nan,
I'm new to this series. You've got me hooked. Poor boy!
Yes, Sam deserves a swift kick to the head, but you can't really blame him. It's just the arrogance of youth talking. Except that he should know enough to listen when his dad tells him to shut up!
This *is* my happily ever after.

Part 3 There was a soft hum and the door slid open. Two big, muscular men clad in the blue police uniforms entered, followed by the Police Captain.
"There he is, sir," Andrews said.  You can't leave it there. This is too cruel. More soon please Janine

Thank you for posting chapter 3. I am really looking forward to each chapter of this story. However, as I reach the end of each one, I have the same reaction, "More, please."
Now that we've established that Eric can't trust random strangers or the police, and he'd be in danger and probably endangering others going back to Ruthy's house, he's going to have to do something VERY drastic to rescue himself, the baby, and Ruthy. You've done a good job of setting the stage for whatever comes next. Please don't make us wait too long to find out what it is.

Finally! Good to see that the Underground is on the spot. I hope they find Molly... not so sure I want them to find Sam... Yay, Ruthy! Saving her partner's life at the tender age of 11... <g> Although, I was re-reading Blind Mission the other day, and wondering what took those two crazy kids so long to actually get married... PJ

I'm glad I checked the computer before going to bed tonight, because you posted another chapter! Thank you!! It looks like Same finally got some sense, and realized what he has done. Now it's time for him to do something to make up for it. And I found the sewer descriptions with the rats especially creepy, because mice are cute and fuzzy but I can't stand rats, at least the wild ones. Molly got the kitten to stay quiet--is it possible she could make the rats stay away? Is that one of her powers? Although of course the Patrol is a bigger problem than the rats at the moment. We know that Eric will survive, but it'll be interesting to see how it happens. Looking forward to the final chapter.

Please?

Eww. Sewers are icky. Sam's learned a lot, but not enough. Sniveling coward is right. I liked the line about how violence solves *some* problems, at least  C'mon, give us more... it's only one more part... PJ

My life has been amazingly hectic recently, so I haven't really had more than a few minutes to scan the feedback, which I appreciate more than you know. Welcome to HappyGirl, and I hope you enjoy the Terran Underground series.
As soon as I can get Tara to make PDF files for Empath, I'll send it to Amy Nanni, if she's still willing to convert it to text for me, and start posting it. I'm still working on "Smallville" (the story, not the series) and hope to be able to start posting it again pretty soon, as well, when I can squeeze in the time for it. I'm doing a massive de-junking of my house at the moment (do you have any idea how much completely worthless stuff accumulates in 15 years when you tend to look at things and think that some time you're going to fix it and maybe use it again? -- which never happens, by-the-by.) I have a dumpster out front right now and I'm heaving stuff into it and walking away as fast as possible before I can reconsider. It does, however, require considerable resolution.
Anyway, thanks to everyone who was nice enough to leave feedback, and I'll be posting the last part this evening.
Nan
