Summary:

When the police uncover a hidden sub-basement in the home of criminal Alexander Pierce and find a tortured omega and his three pups, they bring them to the Stark Omega Clinic, a non-profit dedicated to rehabilitating traumatized omegas.

After dark in September 2005, fourteen year old Bucky Barnes vanished. Eleven years and three pups later, he is far from the boy that went missing from a suburban neighborhood outside of Denver.

Steve Rogers is an alpha of some means. When he came into money, he decided to use what he had for good and sign up as a candidate to be a support alpha for his close friend Tony's charitable clinic. When he takes on the task of helping reintegrate Bucky and his pups into the world, he doesn't expect to fall so hard.

Mini Crane Hire What Types of Cranes Are Available For Hire?

Mini Crane Hire – What Types of Cranes Are Available For Hire? https://ift.tt/MZLAJxK Cranes are a vital part of many construction projects, offering both the power and convenience needed for demanding tasks. However, purchasing and maintaining cranes can be costly and impractical – especially for temporary projects. This is where crane hire comes in. Crane rental is a convenient way to access cranes on a daily, weekly or monthly basis without the burden of ownership. There are a number of factors that influence crane rental rates, including the type of crane, its lifting capacity and the duration of the hiring period. Those planning to hire a crane should understand what these rates are in order to budget accordingly. Mini Crane Hire Using a small, light-duty pick and carry crane, or Valla, is an effective option for smaller jobs that require a lighter machine. These machines feature dual power capability and can operate on diesel or electric power – ideal for sensitive environments like food processing plants, listed buildings, shopping centres and airports. The battery powered Eco-095 or Eco-295 models are particularly suited to indoor work, providing fume-free lifting. Crawler cranes are one of the larger pieces of heavy equipment available to hire through iseekplant’s crane hire suppliers and can lift between 40 and 3,500 tonnes. They have a set of tracks under the crane that allow them to move across both rough and smooth ground, and can be driven on public roads. Franna cranes are another popular model for construction sites, allowing users to access tight spaces that are inaccessible to standard large cranes. These models have a tracking width of only 2.1m and can be maneuvered in narrow passageways and tight areas. They are often used for stone monument installations, tunnel operations, rooftop work and plant maintenance. Truck cranes are one of the most common types of crane hired on a daily basis, and can be delivered directly to your site or project location. They are also suitable for use on highways and paved surfaces, and can be fitted with a telescoping boom to extend their reach. This versatility makes them a highly-effective option for a variety of applications, including building renovations and repairs, bridge builds, steel fabrications and installation of glass structures. Tower cranes are another option for large-scale construction projects. These large-capacity cranes can be secured to a concrete slab, enabling them to remain in place for lengthy periods of time. They are commonly used to erect communications towers and are highly efficient, with the help of an experienced team of operatives that may include a lift supervisor, sling bank men, signallers and steel erectors. To ensure safety and compliance with recommended lifting procedures, hiring a team of experts to accompany the crane is highly recommended. This team will be able to assist with the setup, operation and removal of the crane to prevent accidents or damage, as well as provide advice for safe working practices. The team should be trained and certified to perform crane operations. Having a team of specialists present will also help to reduce the overall cost of hiring the crane, as it will eliminate the need for additional personnel like loaders and marshalls to be provided.

Log 162.411.18

I was very fortunate that Crobo Gupple (726) was also trained in medical applications for various species. It made trips like this first one easier to handle.

The Drrhn and the Human decided to 'out cool' each other while exploring planet Ahni. Drrhn Curroa (498) decided she could 'make the landing', so she jumped off a 6 mynyklik high cliff. This was dangerous, but as a deathworlder, Drrhns had bioenhancements that allowed them to glide somewhat. I wasn't overly worried about Curroa's ability to survive the fall.

But then Human Nimueh (348) decided she could also 'do the thing' and backflipped off the cliff! The rest of us had to quickly scale down. Hywe Immr (095) was able to identify where they fell, but the ground was too hard to see where they went after they landed. The only consolation was the lack of bodies.

Thankfully Human Mara (676) spent her childhood locating various creatures her family raised, so she took charge of locating our two missing group members. Our tracking took several hours, but we were finally able to locate them. Curroa was unconscious and Nimueh was bleeding.

After caring for their wounds, Nimueh explained that Curroa was attacked under the treeline by a flying mammal. Apparently she got too close to their nest. Nimueh dragged her away while attempting to block the creatures from attacking her as well. You will have to read Nimueh's log to get a description of the mammals, I never saw them.

Once Curroa awoke and we'd cared for their health, we began the journey to our original task of climbing the mountain to place a beacon so the indigenous species could contact us once they achieved the technology.

The climb was much slower than anticipated because of Curroa and Nimueh being deathworlders, but we did reach the peak before we ran out of rations. We did not make it back to the ship before we ran out of rations.

We had to turn to Mara again to assist us in locating adequate food and water to survive long enough to return to our shuttle to return to the ship. If Mara wasn't also a deathworlder, I'd recommend her for honors for how well she did. I do request Nimueh be evaluated for mental deficiencies, specifically regarding fear response.

This is Lmyri from group 10, requesting to not be a ground group for the next planet.

The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet

I want to start by saying I'm so sorry for how long this is, but I had to get it all out.

So my mom has decided to come out of retirement to teach English 1 and 2 this school year because of the critical shortage of teachers. Now my mom, may the saints bless her, is a history teacher. She has taught history for nearly thirty years, she's good at what she does and there's no doubt in my mind that she's going to be a phenomenal English teacher as well. Like almost any English 1 class in any public school, they teach Romeo and Juliet.

As we are getting her room ready, making lesson plans, catching up with the technology and all that, she hands me her phone and it's a Tic Tok video of some kind of tissue paper boarder and she's like make this for the whiteboards. So I do. As I am cutting up the tissue paper she and her fellow English teacher are talking about Romeo and Juliet. Cue my rant.

Romeo and Juliet is a tragedy. That's it. There is no if, and's, or but's about it. William Shakespeare wrote Romeo and Juliet as a tragedy. When it's taught in schools, I see that fact getting lost in the idea that it's the greatest love story ever written. It's not. Romeo and Juliet is a story about two teenagers who have no idea what they are doing and have extremely poor impulse control. Juliet is fourteen during the events that happen. Fourteen. Does anyone remember what they were like at fourteen? I wager it wasn't pretty.

She is clearly spoiled as the only daughter of a very wealthy family. The two families are also minor nobility. She is expected to marry to better her family's standing in society. At fourteen, her hormones are completely out of whack and her brain is in the process of rewiring itself into a more adult-like mentality. At fourteen teenagers are driven almost entirely by their emotions and the more reactive amygdala than the frontal cortex. This change continues even into adulthood. Because of the stage of brain development teenagers are more likely to get into fights, act on their impulses, misunderstand social cues, get into all kinds of accidents, and engage in risky or dangerous behaviors. Sound familiar?

Teenagers have also been proven to be less likely to think before they act, less likely to consider the consequences of their actions, and they are less likely to change their dangerous behaviors. That isn't to say that teens can't make good decisions or know right from wrong, they just don't always stop to take things into consideration before acting. The political situation of Verona also has to be taken into consideration.

Verona is ruled by the Prince who is the Judge, Jury, and Executioner of the people. Verona also isn't terribly large and seems to be more of a city-state than anything. The two families have been feuding for literal generations at this point and everyone is pretty tired of their Hatfield/McCoy impression (and yes I am aware that Hatfield/McCoy was well after Romeo and Juliet). Now, in the story, Romeo is a few years older than Juliet, most people estimate about seventeen. In the beginning, we see him pining for Rosaline who he claimed to love more than anything and who has told him to get lost. Romeo gets convinced to sneak into the Capulet party and there he sees Juliet. Boom! Instant love.

Bullshit.

Romeo is seventeen, he doesn't know what he wants and he proves to be incredibly fickle when he so easily casts aside his love for Rosaline. Juliet, being so young, was incredibly vulnerable to Romeo and his attentions. He was a handsome older boy who was whispering sweet nothings and claiming to love her. Add in the forbidden romance angle...she never stood a chance. It was more than likely that Juliet had been very sheltered because of her position in her family and society as well as her age. Telling a teenager they can't do something is almost guaranteed to make sure the teen does exactly that thing you didn't want them to do. Again, it all goes back to developing brain chemistry.

Most people think that the events in the story happen over a long period of time, but it actually happens over about four days. Their entire relationship was purely impulse-driven. At that stage, they would have been in the attraction phase which produces that can't-focus-on-anything-but feeling. This is present in the way Juliet and Romeo both react to their separation after the party. Basically, their brains have forced them to be addicted to each other. Combine that with poor impulse control and the questionable ability to think before acting and you have a very dangerous combination.

The pair marry in secret, literally the day after they meet and everything pretty much goes to shit from there. Mercutio and Tybalt fight and Tybalt kills Mercutio. Romeo, having witnessed the death of his beloved friend and been taunted by Tybalt, snaps and kills Tybalt leading to his exile to Mantua. Juliet is informed by her parents that she will marry Count Paris, who is a cousin to the Prince, drastically raising the family's status. Juliet, predictably, throws a fit of epic proportions and is backed into a corner and forced to agree to marry the Count.

The blame for the ending of Romeo and Juliet could not solely be laid at the feet of teenage hormones and shoddy brain chemistry. Friar Lawrence also played a large role. It was he who gave the "potion" to Juliet that mimicked death, which sets off the entire ending of the story. Juliet and Romeo both prove their childishness after Tybalt and Mercutio's deaths by saying they would rather die than leave or marry Paris, and they well mean it.

In the end, the story finds Juliet just waking from her coma as Romeo is dying beside her. She was so willing to be with Romeo that she was going to leave everything she had behind to run away with him and Romeo was so "in love" with Juliet that he kills himself to be with his presumed-dead wife. Juliet's choice to kill herself with Romeo's dagger is also significant. Most women who commit suicide choose to do so through poison or cutting their wrists. Stabbing themselves is very rare. The placement of the stab wound is also important because she stabbed low in her stomach, meaning it would have been a long, slow, agonizing death.

The Prince was more than right to take the two families to task for their parts in the deaths. Their feud cost the families dearly in a beloved daughter and a beloved heir. Even the Prince lost family to the fighting. Romeo and Juliet is not a love story of star-crossed lovers. It's a tragedy of two rash, unthinking children who lost their lives due to the prejudice of their parents and their own twisted brain chemistry. It is not a story anyone should want to emulate in any way, shape, or form.

Great low-end performance isn't just about amps, pickups and pedals: it all starts with your bass strings and the metal alloy that gives them their distinct tone. String gauge is more than a number: it determines how your bass strings will feel and sound. The rule of thumb is, that heavy-gauge strings (around .050 - .105) have a richer bottom-end, but require more finger-strength than a lighter set (typically .040-.095). The guitar picks you use can make a huge difference too. Playing bass with a pick is as valid as using your fingers, if this is the tone you are looking for. Finding a pick you are comfortable with, is a difficult task, but testing lots of them and recording some of your bass lines can help you find a balance between the tone you want, and the feel and feedback you wish from the pick.

IT ISN’T OVER WHEN THE FAT LADY SINGS – THE FIRST RUSSIAN STRATEGIC ASSESSMENT OF THE AUSTRALIA-UK-US (AUKUS) SUBMARINE DEAL

— By John Helmer, Moscow

— Source: Dances with Bears

Following last week’s meeting in Washington of Australia’s Foreign Minister Marise Payne (lead image left), the Australian defence minister and their US counterparts, a strategic military and basing agreement was announced between Australia, the UK and US (AUKUS). This is being reinforced with summit meetings in Washington this week.

The declared target of their war-making preparations is China.

Australian strategy against Russia in the Pacific region follows in lockstep with the US. But for the time being the Russian enemy, and Russian submarine and surface fleet operations in the Indo-Pacific region, are not being discussed by Australian officials in public; at least not to the extent when President Vladimir Putin last visited Australia in November 2014 with a nuclear-powered, nuclear armed naval escort.

Ahead of schemes for strategic warmaking in the Pacific, the US, the UK and Australia are also engaged in proxy war operations. These have accelerated recently in Myanmar, where Russia and China are allied in support of the military government of General Min Aung Hlaing. Next, from both sides, state bribery, subversion, putsch-making, and other special operations are likely to accelerate in the Pacific islands from Fiji to Papua-New Guinea.

For the moment, the initial reaction to AUKUS from the Russian Foreign Ministry has been as close to uncritical as the ministry can be. “We noted the plans, announced by Australia,” said spokesman Maria Zakharova last Thursday, “to build nuclear-powered submarines as part of an ‘enhanced trilateral security partnership’ agreed yesterday by the United States, Great Britain and Australia. We proceed from the premise that being a non-nuclear power and fulfilling in good faith the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, Australia will honour its commitments under this document, as well as the IAEA Safeguards Agreements along with its Additional Protocol. We hope that Canberra ensures the necessary level of cooperation with the IAEA in order to rule out any proliferation-related risks.”

The first detailed technical and strategic assessment of the AUKUS scheme has followed this week in Vzglyad, the leading strategy publication reflecting the Russian General Staff and GRU assessments. A translation from the Russian article by Alexander Timokhin.

The headline is ironic: “How Australia’s nuclear submarines will bring to China to its knees”.

“In a few years, another country with a nuclear submarine fleet will appear in the world – Australia. What kind of submarines will this country receive from its allies, what kind of combat capabilities do they provide, and according to what scenario can they be used to contain China’s military power?

Everything is learned by comparison. What are the eight multi-purpose nuclear submarines that Australia will receive (not to be confused with submarines armed with ballistic missiles)? Let’s compare them with other fleets.

First, take the example of China, against which (at least, so they say) everything is being planned. Now China has only nine multi-purpose nuclear submarines, with low stealth. Three of them are Project 091; these are old and noisy vessels that have almost no combat value. The remaining six are Project 093, more modern boats, which, however, are inferior to modern American and British ones. In fact, only these six have a real combat value, and it is this number that should be taken into account.

I must say that the Chinese have made tremendous progress if we start from their initial level. Their submarines are already armed with good torpedoes and means of countering enemy torpedoes. But they are still very far from British ‘Astutes’ or American ‘Virginias’.

The Jin-class Type 094 Chinese ballistic submarine. Its successor, the Type 095, is under construction read this. The Type 096 is still being designed.

The first of the British Navy’s Astute-class submarines in construction

Theoretically, the ‘Virginia’ of the latest modification (the block, as the Americans say) will be able to be used when delivering a high-precision massive non-nuclear strike on Chinese territory. In this case, the Australians will be able to increase the American salvo. In the future, when the Americans finish their hypersonic missile program for the Navy, this strike may also be very fast.

It will be a separate story if the Americans again trample on international norms of behaviour and deploy nuclear weapons on Australian submarines before the war. Then, using cruise or hypersonic missiles, Australia will be able to cause China (and not only it) simply monstrous damage. And just ordinary Tomahawks with their fast, surprise launch can cause considerable damage to the side attacked – and the tactical and technical characteristics of the ‘Virginia’ will allow you to secretly approach even a well-guarded shore and deliver a sudden and unexpected blow.

Naturally, this is true if Australia builds ‘Virginias’ with vertical missile launch installations, and not ‘Astutes’, which can only use Tomahawks through torpedo tubes. There is no answer to this question yet.

In the event of a war more or less close to a classic naval war, these submarines will create an additional threat to China, and China will be required to allocate additional forces to this threat, which it will need very much in a war with the United States and Britain, even without Australia.

The Chinese are taking care of their fleet and developing it. They have anti-submarine surface forces and anti-submarine aviation, but when performing combat tasks outside the combat radius of their base (coastal in colloquial language) aviation, the problem of combating enemy submarine forces will become quite acute for China. Chinese surface ships will be subjected to air strikes by Australian based and American carrier-based aircraft; anti-submarine aircraft will not be able to work without cover; in fact, all tasks will have to be solved by Chinese nuclear submarines. They do not reach the western (that is, the future Australian) level yet, and they will be forced to act against heterogeneous enemy forces (submarines, anti-submarine aircraft, surface ships) without support.

How Will China Respond?

China has hope – there are new multi-purpose nuclear submarines being created, designated in the foreign press as Type 095, and in China itself 09-V. According to visual assessment of images of the boat, it is clear that China is trying to introduce a large number of technical solutions that increase the stealth of the submarine and the range of detection for its underwater targets. It is clearly visible that the boat is being created specifically for combat.

But what success the Chinese will have is an open question, and most importantly, even these boats will not see superiority in quality; ideally there will be approximate parity. At the same time, if the current pace of updating the submarine forces in China continues, then China will be inferior to the Americans and the British in numbers even without Australia, and even more so with it. These new boats are still in planning stage — China has not built any of them yet. And another hostile nuclear submarine fleet will definitely require the Chinese to invest very quickly and very seriously in expanding their production; that requires time, money, and resources.

Can China Ignore This Threat? No.

Here is just one of many examples. Geographically, Australia can completely block the connection between China and the Indian Ocean: there is a direct exit there and this is not controlled by China in any way. China only has the Strait of Malacca, which with its new submarines Australia will be able to block from the Indian Ocean. Or go past Australia itself, with the same submarines and its aircraft. There is no other road by which a large amount of oil can be supplied to China.

Australia would never have had these opportunities in this form if it had continued its work on the purchase of non-nuclear submarines from France. A non-nuclear (in fact the same diesel-electric) submarine is not capable, for example, of going under water at a high speed, as the ‘Virginias’ and ‘Astutes’ can, and secretly, without a critical increase in noise. A non-nuclear boat needs to deliver fuel to the combat service area, an atomic one does not need to – a nuclear submarine is not tied to nearby bases or to fuel, and it can operate disproportionately more freely than a diesel-electric one, even with an air-independent power plant.

In combat, a nuclear submarine also has a lot of advantages, up to the possibility of sometimes getting away from the enemy’s torpedo by running. For a hypothetical Australian-French non-nuclear submarine, this would be impossible. The hydroacoustic complex on the ‘Virginias’ is generally difficult to compare with something, and this is the range of target detection and the range of shooting at it.

Now China, in addition to measures to counter the submarine fleet of the United States and Great Britain, will also have to take into account Australia, which wants to get a nuclear submarine more powerful than anything that China has at present.

What does the battlefield look like in numbers? If we start from how many of the ‘Virginias’ are already built and under construction to go into service by 2036, when the Australians want to get their eight submarines, then we can assume that there will be about 20 units. And they will not be able to throw everything at China; some of the submarines will be needed in case of emergency operations against Russia.

Thus, an additional eight Australian submarines will increase the number of units opposing China by at least a third, compared only with American submarines. This is even more than the British will be able to give for the war with China. China will have to increase both the submarine and other fleet forces by a comparable number.

In general, for China, these eight additional enemy submarines are a fresh handful of bones in the throat. That’s about what the Americans planned to do with the British. That’s what eight nuclear submarines are.

This is what caused the reaction of the Chinese to the news. The Chinese Foreign Ministry said that the transfer of nuclear submarine construction technologies to Australia harms the nuclear non-proliferation regime and ‘exacerbates the arms race’, as well as the fact that the United States and Great Britain ‘extremely irresponsibly’ apply double standards. These admonitions, of course, will not have any effect.

And what does this mean for Russia? If Australia wants to have eight multi-purpose submarines by 2036, then by that year we will ideally have four Yasen-class vessels in the Pacific Ocean – the ‘Novosibirsk’, ‘Krasnoyarsk’, ‘Vladivostok’ and, presumably, the ‘Perm’.

The Russian Navy’s Yasen-class ‘Kazan’, June 2021.

As for the future boat of the project 545 with the code-name ‘Laika’, the form in which the ‘Laika’ was presented to the president in December 2019 indicates the deliberate obsolescence of the project. And most importantly – it is extremely doubtful that these boats will be in service by the mid-thirties. This is another example of how many there will turn out to be — eight nuclear submarines in one theatre of military operations.

However, the western ‘partners’ may have difficulties in implementing these wonderful plans.

Is Everything So Simple?

There is one aspect in all of this that can complicate everything. The production of as many as eight nuclear submarines, stuffed with high-tech systems to the brim, is not an easy matter. If we assume that the Australians will build some kind of ready-made project, for example the ‘Virginia’, then in any event they will up to 14 years for the construction of eight nuclear submarines if they start next year. This is an ultra-fast pace for eight units; the Americans themselves take five years to build one ‘Virginia’ from the popint of laying the keel to delivery to the Navy.

Is it possible for the Australians to meet the deadlines? Yes, but only in an “expansive’ way – laying more submarines a year than the Americans. And this requires, firstly, shipyards in sufficient quantity to build submarines; secondly, workers and engineers; and thirdly, the supply of components from the United States, which can become the bottleneck of the project because of the existing crisis in American shipbuilding. Does Australia have all this in the right amount? The allies will not be able to help them there; they do not have enough themselves.

And if the Australians build some kind of British project – either the ‘Astute’ or, as is now rumoured in Britain, the future project of a British multi-purpose submarine, which should replace the ‘Astutes’, then nothing will work out. Britain is barely coping with the construction of its submarines by itself, including the part played by related companies. In the case of the ‘Astutes’, some of the related parties are from France engaged by by the Anglo-Saxons. On the other hand, the British can in this way compensate for the losses of the French from the broken Australian contract for non-nuclear submarines. Still, the problem of timing will also arise in this case.

The Australians seem to understand this. On Sunday, September 19, the Australian Defense Minister Peter Dutton said that Australia will not wait until its nuclear submarines are built, but will buy or lease British or American ones.

This is quite possible. However, not with British submarines, but more likely with American ones, although such a scheme would not lead to the desired increase in anti–Chinese forces; there would still be as many submarines against China, just some of the flags would change. But, firstly, by the time the construction of their series is completed (even if not all and with a delay), the Australians will already have experience working with nuclear submarines, and secondly, the United States now has problems with repairing its submarines (they do not pull, as they say), and renting some of their ships to Australia for the Americans will in fact mean their salvation as combat units, even under a foreign flag.

In general, it is possible to make Australia a country with a nuclear submarine fleet quickly. Moreover, the authors of this initiative have an extremely serious reason for all this. Such gigantic investments and sharp political turns are not carried out just like that. The hegemony of the Anglo-Saxons in the world is seriously shaken, both because of their own internal weakness, and because of the growth of China, and the sabotage of their system of power by Russia. It is quite obvious they will not give up their power over humanity and the benefits resulting from this in a favourable fashion.

It is worth recognizing that the world is on the verge of war. Australia’s agreement with the United States and Britain says exactly this. An ordinary world war with tens of millions of dead, as one option, or with hundreds of millions; after all, no one has canceled nuclear weapons. Such a war is almost inevitable.

Moreover, knowing what deadlines the ‘partners’ set for themselves, you can roughly understand the time for which they are preparing the ‘hot phase’. And looking at how other countries are preparing for the next world war, it’s time for us to take a critical, honest and non-biased look at how we are preparing for it.”

095: Death Rides the Skyway was not quite as boring as I remember but still eminently skippable.

As such have some of the more amusing moments.

Present circumstances made it appear that this single clue -- the mention of Finger Lurbin -- would never reach The Shadow.

That thought rankled Miles Crofton. As he and Jolles reached the hall, he felt a wild desire for action.

Harry is not the only one who becomes irresponsibly reckless when stymied in his duty.

[To Joe.]“Why don’t you take Burke?” questioned Markham, with a slight grin. “You know -- the Classic reporter.[”]

“You know, the little shit we all know is your favorite no matter how much you growl at him.”

“Burke wasn’t interested. Anyway, I don’t want a newshawk tagging along[.”]

-- but if he had been interested you’d have totally brought him.

Joe/Clyde brotp

Some of the shots struck the gravelly edge and ricocheted; those bullets, too, went over the heads of The Shadow and Cardona. The two had rolled apart; but both were lying low in darkness.

I was initially amused by the shades of ‘no homo’ in including that second line, because no shit they’re laying low when they’re under machine gun fire, but this is also pretty great out of context.

Whining winds whooed weirdly from the mountainside.

Okay that’s just a weird bit of alliteration.

As detective and as acting inspector, Cardona had frequently shown skill in tracking down deep-set crime.

not much to see here I’m just happy whenever the narration acknowledges Joe is good at his job.

Cardona was deep in his task when he looked up to see Clyde Burke standing in the doorway.

“Hello, Burke,” growled Joe. “What do you want?”

“A story,” responded Clyde. “Looks like you might have one in that pile of junk.”

CARDONA chuckled. He studied the wise-faced reporter; then held out the batch of papers. Clyde had been lounging in the doorway; at Cardona’s gesture, the reporter’s indolence ended. His slender, wiry frame became active as Clyde stepped forward eagerly. Then a look of chagrin appeared upon the reporter’s face.

[...]

Hearing footsteps, Cardona looked up angrily, thinking that another reporter had arrived.

I will shut up about Clyde and Joe’s semi-antagonistic friendship when I’m dead. They are adorable and I love them.

BACK on the avenue, Moe Shrevnitz was keeping on. He was doing so in response to a quick order from Harry Vincent, in the back seat. Harry had guessed Cliff’s game. The present job was to take after the sedan.

But Moe was due for trouble. [...] A policeman came dashing from the curb to commandeer the cab. [...]

Moe looked back quickly at Harry, who gave a nod.

[...]

The officer had picked the running board on the right, to be ready with his revolver. He was looking straight ahead when Moe curved left. The swing sent him lunging out to the middle of the avenue. Harry had been leaning forward, ready to loose the cop’s hold on the door. The action had not proven necessary.

1) Other people acknowledging Harry’s competence is my favorite thing and agents looking to him for orders is right up there.

2) I didn’t cut any dialogue between Harry and Moe, they literally shared one look and had this plan ready. The agents are in sync and I love it.

As the taxi driver stopped, Cliff and Hawkeye came tumbling from their wrecked car.

Harry Vincent had thrust open the door. Cliff dived into the cab, Hawkeye just behind him. Moe stepped on the gas as the patrol car shrilled its arrival.

[...]

In the exciting minutes that followed, Moe Shrevnitz displayed the driving skill that had caused The Shadow to choose him as an aid.

[...]

His three passengers, settled in the back seat, were silent.

Moe had done all that was possible in the pinch. They had landed in too deep. The loss of the coupe did not matter; it was not registered by either Cliff or Hawkeye. Escape had been paramount in the emergency; The Shadow himself would have ordered it. But there was no chance now for these agents to aid The Shadow.

Agents being awesome and watching each others’ backs and then being sad cuz they can’t help the boss.

Easily the best section of the book.

To add to Cardona’s disgruntled feelings came an arrival whom the ace had not expected. It was Clyde Burke, stepping from a taxi.

[...]

“How about the Holland Tube?” queried Clyde. “Maybe the car you’re talking about beat it for Jersey.[”]

Cardona spun about, his dark eyes agleam. The detective whacked an approving hand upon Clyde’s shoulders. Then Joe began to bark orders.

[...]

“We’re going in two cars -- you can come along, Burke.[”][...]

AS a detective scurried into the Knife and Fork to make the telephone calls, Cardona bounded into the first car. Clyde jumped in beside him.

We’re going to catch some criminals but sure you can come along, I mean, as long as you’re already here.

[Criminal referring to The Shadow:] “We didn’t lamp him, but we heard him. He handed us the ha-ha and opened up with those gats of his.”

...That’s an interesting turn of phrase.

So yeah some cute Clyde and Joe and a good scene with Cliff, Hawkeye, Harry, and Moe. Otherwise this book can be forgotten.
