Aww, CJ's got his first pair of glasses! It's an historic moment
Complicated plot, but I think I'm following.
Oh, and Marta's gonna figure out about CJ pretty soon -- it's like Bill said, if CJ's adopted, how come he's getting all his dad's powers? But then I guess she is only ten, so I'll forgive her for not having thought the matter through.
Maria, Valerie *is* one of the group -- Bill's wife was assaulted during the NK invasion. He's raised her as his own, though, and she doesn't know he's anything other than her dad. It came out in Unforeseen Consequences.
