Another wonderful chapter. I'm surprised you can continue writing when Chemo makes you feel so horrible. My prayers continue to be with you. Great job.

Hi, Barbara, this time I have tears in my eyes as I go through this interesting chapter, there are so many layers of feelings within your lines. Only I think Joe is getting too sentimental nearing the end of the chapter, especially in such a dangerous situation. Sorry, maybe it's just me ... :) All in all, a powerful chapter.

I really enjoyed reading this and was instantly intrigued as to what was happening to Cassie. I like the present day setting with real life crimes.

Hi there, BW. I enjoyed your story --It certainly is relevant in today's world.May I make a couple of suggestions.
In the prologue---
"While Col. Joe Barnes visited his parents, he was reacquainted with his best friend's baby sister, Sara. Sara became pregnant during her senior year and raised her daughter, Cassie by herself. His best friend, Josh, was killed during Desert Storm."
You repeat, "his best friend" and don't need to do so.
Howabout--
"While Col. Joe Barnes visited his parents, he was reacquainted with Sara, the baby sister of his best friend, Josh. Sara became pregnant during her senior year and raised her daughter, Cassie by herself. Josh, was killed during Desert Storm."
It would help to have a transistion between the fourth and third to last lines. Geirge kinds drops in suddenly.
Just suggestions.

I appreciate your help with the prologue. If I would the book in a few words it wouldn't be 60,000. I hate condensing stuff.

This is a great chapter. There is movement in the story. The characters interact with each other in a believable fashion. The dialogue is great.

You penned a real page turner here! What I like most of you writing is the dialogue which is usually short and to the point. Can't stand verbiage with un-needed word. Good writing.

Comment from ejebb1951
You've got a fan Barbara, the suspense is tearing at me. I'm hanging on to every word. I know she loves that man. We can watch our children day in, day out but they find ways to get around us watching. We must stay one step in front at all times. My daughter and I foster teens and we know a few things that they don't know, like keeping tabs on who they're IMing or texting. Call in invasion of privacy if you must but we call it protection. Continue my friend.

I agree, I figure as long as they live under my roof, I have rights. I raised four boys.

I agree 100%. When things change, get a job and move out.

I wanted this chapter to keep going. It seemed so short. It was fast paced and well written. I hope they hurry and find Cassie.
Just a couple of missing ":
buttoning his shirt. (")I'm sorry I let you see
but I don't want to lose you.(") Joe watched her

Hey, I had one reviewer state it would be condensed into one or two paragraphs. I am taking care of those mistakes. Thank you for sticking by me.

Hi Barbara :)
This is a good chapter, I liked the imaging and business you gave the characters this time. Good dialogue exchanges.
I'm still running behind on reviews because of final "nit-picking" on my novel. We have a deadline for the publisher.

Hi Barbara :)
You're most welcome.
I'm chopping useless adverbs from my manuscript to make it better. That includes a lot of dialogue and action tags that are being tossed.
