Usually I keep my stories to 20 chapters long. At the moment I'm not sure how far I will go, but 20 is looking like the most logical number of chapters to use. Thanks for all the comments so far, keep up the good work! As for a spin-off, that could work nicely. It would be nice to write a really good Slig training story.

Chapter 16: Queck’s Message
Flek laughed, “There are two good reasons you still have your gun my friend. One, you were tied up...” Flek moved to Rook and looked directly into the barrel of the gun. “… and secondly, there is no ammo in that gun, Rook.” Rook smiled, “You’re right Flek.”
With that, Rook leapt out off the table and gave Flek the tightest hug that any Slig has ever given to another Slig. Flek laughed again, Rook joined in. Soon they were both laughing and rolling on the floor. Just goes to show doesn’t it? Even guards have a sense of humor. Most of the time…
Flek and Rook left the room. Flek handed Rook a piece of paper. “Queck left this important message for you.” Rook took the piece of paper and read the note. “Hi Rook. I am glad that you are okay.” Rook looked puzzled at Flek, who smiled. “Turn it over Rook”. Rook turned over the piece of paper. “PS. You owe me a beer.” At first Rook didn’t react, he looked at Flek. Flek was suppressing a laugh. Rook too was trying his hardest to not laugh, but he failed miserably. Both of them were soon chuckling and then they both broke out into the biggest fit of giggles ever.
