Thank you

Thanks for reading, and I'm immensely pleased that you enjoyed the story. I don't know about action hero, in the other ending I had for the story (and the one that's canon in my imagination) Dr. Tapper dies in an Austrian mental institution. Unless he's undead and....wait that's another story altogether
