I like this story so far - the governor seems to be an okay guy so far - can't wait to find out what happens next@

Nice to know the Gov. is at least listening to them. Wondering what he has to show them? Fine writing.

Uh oh...  Is it a trick?  Or is he gonna show them something that doesn't equal badness for them?  Eek!

Great update!

Very good chapter. I was suprised at the compassion that he had shown. I hope it continues!

A nice governor - who'da thunk it! Time for Spike to start to believe.

OMG what what what!! tell me!! i wanna see *jumps up and down*

great update. you are very convincingly making the chained and beaten riley acceptable to the authority that matters. thanks for the very good read.

Mrs. Buffy Finn. I don't like that name. Makes my skin crawl. Ewww. Hope your going to get Spike back to his old obnoxious self soon.

Oooo... what's behind Door Number One?

Yay Arnie (oops......generic governor *G*). Lovely update. YES!!!! Any decent human would understand the NEED for a bit of revenge. After all courts allow punative damages (even if it is usually financial or more jail time the title itself means to punish!).

still having problems replying to mails and to reviews.....thank you for your kind words though! It always means more when the person giving a thumbs up on your story is an author you admire and respect.
