Summary
"You cannot murder anyone," says Maddie. "Also, if you were going to murder your captain, it would be very stupid to write murder down as your top idea for how to deal with him."
"It's on a dry erase board!" Chim protests. So far, all he's written on the board is Ways to Deal with Capt Gerrasshole, and then 1. Murder? below it. "And I put a question mark. So even if I didn't erase it, the jury would never convict. A question mark introduces reasonable doubt."
Maddie rolls her eyes with a fond smile. "I assume there would be other evidence."
"I would never be so sloppy."
"Again, this would be more convincing if you hadn't immediately written murder right at the top of your list."

Summary
Tony has never once regretted bonding to his guide. Not when he sacrificed his football career. Not when he sacrificed his secondary career choice. Not when he sacrificed his morals in Philadelphia and Baltimore. Not when he sacrificed his pride and advancement at NCIS. It has always been his honor and privilege to hide and shelter his fragile guide. And he doesn’t regret it even now when all their secrets are coming out.

Summary
It was almost Christmas time, there I stood in another line, not really in the Christmas mood. Standing right in front of me was a little boy waiting anxiously, Pacing 'round like little boys do, And in his hands he held a pair of shoes
His clothes were worn and old, he was dirty from head to toe, And when it came his time to pay, I couldn't believe what I heard him say:
"Sir, I want to buy these shoes for my Mama, please, It's Christmas Eve and these shoes are just her size, Could you hurry, sir, Daddy says there's not much time, You see she's been sick for quite a while, And I know these shoes would make her smile, And I want her to look beautiful if Mama meets Jesus tonight."
He counted pennies for what seemed like years, Then the cashier said, "Son, there's not enough here", He searched his pockets frantically, Then he turned and he looked at me, He said "Tell me Sir, what am I going to do, Somehow I've got to buy mama these Christmas shoes"
So I laid the money down, I just had to help him out, I'll never forget the look on his face when he said: "Mama's gonna look so great."- Leonard Ahlstrom and Eddie Carswell (abbr.)

Summary
Then: The year is 2013. Jason Todd is alive, fourteen years old, and about to follow Sheila Haywood, his birth mother, into the hands of the Joker. All he wants is to save her life.
Now: The year is 2018. Jason Todd was dead. But now he's a nineteen year old vigilante about to take down the latest C-Lister rogue. Unfortunately for him, its a rogue that specialises in time-travel technology. And what starts as an easy takedown...ends as a time travelling phenomenon.
The two Jasons swap places.
