First off, LucyMuse says she loves being included in this story and enjoyed every line. So did her writer. :)

"You need understand, I was not the first in my family to search for the Oldest Immortal. Know that it was my family who had unearthed the fact that Methos had ever existed. Comprehend that I had pressure from my family and two groups of colleagues.

I made a mistake.

He wasn’t Methos."

~~Everyone makes mistakes, sweetie. By Watcher standards, this one is certainly forgivable. Even Methos has trouble finding himself every couple of centuries or so.

“Mi Corazon? Where,” Montoya demanded (not shouted), “is she?”

“Fish and Game came by to pick her up. Now gimme back my cane, or the birdie goes bye-bye.”

“Uh, House?” Kutner said.

“Relax,” House told Kutner, “I doubt he’s got a permit for hawk-owning anyway.”

“I do not own her, senor,” Montoya said.

“You did say, and I quote, ‘my hawk’.”

Lowering the cane slightly, “Then you have never been married.” More the fool, him. Ignorant of so simple a nickname that even Grisham could grasp.

~~LOL!! Loved this passage.

“I, Luis R. Montoya,” he read, “being of sound mind… do grant the use of my body to Kronos, who may -” the sound of a ripe melon splatting on the wall just outside his window interrupted.

~~How apropos. :) I liked the idea of Kronos being disembodied and commandeering others to house his consciousness--quite an interesting take on bargaining with the devil.

Once Rafael was gone, as destroyed as Melvin, Kronos strode freely out of Princeboro-Plains, already thinking how useful the knowledge of himself as Rafael Montoya would be. Luis had not offered argument against the elder personality reigning for now.

Cassandra would find him eventually, like he’d find Methos. Right now, Kronos’ watcher followed him, forsaking her future as a doctor.

~~Eep! Kronos on the loose with Luis to aid in strategy . . . yikes! Great (if disquieting) ending. Excellent story! Well done, amigo. :)
