Kinda disobeyed the rules & bounced around here – love this idea for a challenge, CMTKOM .
BTW – The characters mentioned first appeared in these ficlets:

You Can't Beat Pirate Pete:<br /> http://ficlets.com/stories/3108

The Ficlet Killer:<br /> http://ficlets.com/stories/10682

Saving Sam:<br /> http://ficlets.com/stories/8101

Bandit of the Badlands:<br /> http://ficlets.com/stories/9475

Eight Dollars in Cuba:<br /> http://ficlets.com/stories/4161

What I most love is the links to the series. Incredibly helpful.

Chris O’Donnell would be good for Terry; he brings that ernest goodness to his roles.
