Seems like smarmy [dumb] Brad is on his way to getting out of their lives, huh? At least, I hope so.
Regarding Leslie's comment about Brad maybe having a good heart deep down, just being confused (sorry Leslie, I'm paraphrasing)... personally I don't have any sort of impression of what he's really like deep down. I haven't really tried to sympathize with him though. I have of course been totally annoyed with his flirting with Ellery all along, and I am glad Ellery seems to have lost all tolerance for it. Maybe if I learn more about Brad and his life I will care more about him, but I just don't right now. One of the things I'm confused about is whether or not the Brotherhood knows he is queer? (sorry that was a horribly worded sentence.) Okay I don't know why I'm having such a strong reaction to Brad - aside from the fact that he got his former friend killed and hampered another investigation and had Ennis beaten up/kidnapped. Okay, I'm also pissed 'cause he seems willing to let his money do all his work for him.
I dislike Brad more than Amos right now, is that crazy????
Okay I'm going to try and calm down and read neatfreak's post again.

Well I posted back to Leslie too, because I am sorry, but hiring hit people to harm anyone, even if he didn't specify killing---What he really did is murder or assault with intent to do bodily harm for hire---that is NOT being confused---that is being maliciously mean spirited and cruel. that is not a poor choice, it is conscious action that says to me that is a person with a bad/evil heart, not to mention being a spoiled brat. Don't mean to argue or anything, but being confused means you confront them yourself and find out what's going on, or write them a letter, hiring anyone else to do your physical harm because your feelings are hurt, says you have an evil thought pattern and no conscience, he isn't even sorry now-except that he got caught, and they are figuring everything out-- He goes way beyond poor choices into criminal.
Just because now he thinks he has a crush on Ellery and doesn't know what to do about it--He already turned hit men loose in Laramie--he doesn't get any sympathy from me. He is cowardly little rich kid who thinks that laws apply to others, cause he uses money instead of his own fists so he doesn't get dirty.
that is how I feel about it. I won't post any more about this chapter though, but I had to say my feelings in answer, since you brought it up. LOL

Sorry if this is OT. I finally got my BBM DVD and the TV connection didn't work. In comes the very macho mafia looking serviceman to fix the connection. When I give him the BBM DVD to put in the player he rasps out "Have you seen this movie?" I say "Yes" and hold my breath. "Yeah", he said. "It's a good movie".
