This was an excellent post. Lots of energy and feel of the escalating danger. The reader is right there with them as you've pulled me into the plot.
Great work Barbara, can't wait for the next one.....cliff hangers...sigh...I wanted to read more...
Thanks for sharing.

Edit check/suggestion:
"The second officer knelt ....... He watched Ted open the door and (stumbled) out. // 'stumble' or 'he stumbled'

I had that as stumbled and was told it was stumble so I changed it. HUMMM, I will recheck it. Thank you for your review.

If you had "he stumbled" it would work....great chapter my friend:)

I was holding my breath until the police showed up. I didn't know where that was going. It doesn'tt look but I am hoping for a happy ending. Another great chapter.

Thank you for the kind review. It is a romance so there might be a happy ending.
Comment from Sloegin
The expression, "Alls well that ends well," really applies to this chapter. I enjoyed it, thank you.
I do think you were a little vague in places: Ted drove in front of Troy. (then aimed the sawed off out of the passenger side window.) I had to reread to get the idea that Troy hadn't pulled onto the street yet.
Your dialogue is believable and seems to fit the story. I'm enjoying reading your work.

Comment from judiverse
Great reading, as has been the case with your previous chapters. I liked the intensity when Ted tried to detain Troy and then the officers showed up just in time. Joel seems to be doing a good job. The dialogue flows well and Troy really expresses his worry about Anna and his own family. It should be interesting to see how the hostage negotiator works and how Anna manages to hold up. Troy shows bravery because he goes to the apartment complex where Anna's being held. Great work! judi

Do I get it correctly that someone got a hold of Anna and here Try got nearly shot but rescued. It is not you, but I am so tired after losing an hour's sleep last night with the time change.

Comment from Bloomer Burbs
Hi barbara wilkey
A very tense and dramatic ending to your story that leaves the reader hanging and wanting more of course.
A smooth read. I noticed no spags but I'm not the most observant.
Kind regards,
Pete

Thank you for the kind review. I keep getting gigged for over use of pronouns so I cut that one.

Comment from Gungalo
Gosh this chapter is full of things happening. Getting all the details out of the way, we must get on to Anna> Troy is worried and probably make some heroic move in the upcoming chapter. Sigh, I hope she is not already dead.

Comment from adewpearl
That is one dramatic and tense confrontation between Troy and Ted
He watched Ted open the door and stumbled out - and stumble out
Dad, it's bad - add the apostrophe for contraction of it is
Excellent dialogue throughout
You build tension and suspense most effectively Brooke :-)
