December 21st will be Rudy Solari's 87th birthday. We love Casino, that tough guy who leads with his mouth and has a heart of gold. He also has a soft spot for a bit of breaking and entering. Enjoy and celebrate this as a tribute to our favourite safecracker.

Sometimes in the heat of the moment, a commander has to make hard decisions

Chief's day starts out bad and only goes downhill from there.

This is the last of Trials and Tribulations, my mini-series within my series. Lt. Garrison is having his own trials and tribulations and they are affecting his team and family. Even he does not know what is causing it. Actor finds himself with an old friend. The others take part in another easy mission. Somehow they are rarely 'easy.'

Trials and tribulations affect everyone. Family is important. Sometimes you have to bear the unthinkable to save a sibling. And that action touches everyone; some harder than others. This is the third story in my Trials and Tribulations miniseries within my series.

The 24th story in my Garrison's Gorillas series: George and Mary Garrison have invited the team to stay in Hampshire with them as a reward for rescuing Ricky. Little do they know that the General is a target for the Germans. This story was written as a challenge about what would happen when the team stayed with Garrison's family.

This is the second story of my mini-series within my series. Trials and tribulations affect everyone; those inside and outside the group. Sometimes you have to do what is right, not what is easiest. And in Goniff's case, sometimes you just have to tell it as it is.

Chief hates being imprisoned. Thankfully he has a team to free him. Takes place during Friendly Enemies. For 2021 Whumptober #31 Prisoner

The 23rd story in my Garrison's Gorillas series: Captain Rick Garrison has been shot down over Germany and presumed dead. While Garrison is ordered to spend time with his family, Chief decides to find out what happened. His decision to go in alone is thwarted by the team and the Navajos. A bold plan is hatched to find and rescue the brother he hasn't met yet.

Always able to handle any sudden situation with aplomb, Actor suddenly finds himself immersed in something he has no idea how to handle. Thank goodness for godmothers . . . even this pushy one. This is part one of Trials and Tribulations, a four part mini-series inside my regular series.

This is the concluding part of the story, following on from False Pretences. Can things really get any worse?

While Chief recovers from his injuries, the team have to take someone else with them on a mission. This follows directly after Silent Salute and is the first of a two part story.

The 22nd story in my Garrison's Gorillas series: Finally, the man behind the betrayals is unmasked - it's Colonel Pryor. He has an agenda and Garrison and Chief are his targets. Garrison and his family are taken hostage but Pryor has underestimated Chief and the extent he will go to to protect his newly-found family. Chief has a plan and it involves his death!

"Here! He's over here!" Goniff whispered as loud as he dared and then crept forward quietly, glancing all around the little glade, sure there would be German guns and soldiers bursting through the bushes any minute to surround him.

Chief's past comes back to cause him and the Gorillas trouble. Can Garrison and the crew save Chief and make sure the man responsible is caught?

Episode 9: At the end of The Fox and the Wolf, Garrison received a phone call from Siobhan Hennessy, asking for a favour. What will be the consequences of that favour? They will certainly affect his enigmatic conman, and Actor's life may never be the same again. This the first part of a 3 part story.

The team are scattered on arrival in France. Can they come together to complete their mission? It may be useful to read Familiar Faces and Hidden Secrets first.

The 21st story in my Garrison's Gorillas series: After Lucas knocked Garrison out and took the Sea Dragon back to England, Chief, Goniff and Navajo 4 are left stranded in Hamburg. They have to use all their skill and training to get home and Chief picks up a 'present' for the Warden on the way.

This is a stand-alone story, not part of my series. The last episode, Time Bomb, left a lot of things dangling. Garrison and the guys did not know where Actor was, and Actor did not know where they were. There were also some inconsistencies in the episode. I have tried to work around some of them, such as locations, and names. It makes you wonder if the there had been a season two,

The 20th story in my series: This follows straight on from 'Homecoming'. Actor and Casino still aren't fit for duty, Garrison takes Goniff, Chief and Navajo 4 on a seemingly easy mission to rescue an American flight crew stranded in Hamburg. Things go terribly wrong and Garrison is forced to return without his men.

Something Top Secret is going on. Can the team find out what it might be? This story follows on from Familiar Faces.

Episode 8 of my Gorillas Series. It is March 1944 and Casino is back with the team. They are being sent to Germany this time, to retrieve photographs. Warning, this is a long story - over 30K words and 13 chapters.

19th story in my series: This story follows straight on from 'Escape From Italy'. The team have arrived back in England from Switzerland. Garrison and Chief are still recovering from the physical and mental impact Caen had on them, Garrison is shocked to find it has affected him most of all. It takes Chief to get him through it.

The team have an unexpected encounter.

Goniff is given a mission that Garrison thinks will suit his unique talents, much to the thief's annoyance! For Christopher Carey, the wonderfully versatile actor who gave us Goniff, the brilliant, exasperating, sticky-fingered, wickedly childlike, likeable rogue of a thief on what would have been his 91st birthday. 16th June 1930 – 1st April 2000. Always loved and never forgotten.
