What a jerk! I can't wait until they take him down. What's really disturbing, this sort of thing really is happening everyday.

(The) seemed over-dressed to be at sea. (Did you mean 'they'?)

Mikey, I like the way this is progressing. This installment is cohesive and digs down deeper into the intents of the maleficents and the seeming hopelessness of the innocents. Great dialogue. Well done. :0 GracieAnn

    Glad you are enjoying. A fun chapter with some silliness coming up down the line. Love that word, "maleficents". mikey

Please, I like what you are doing with Angela, but don't veer too far out into the waters. Keep land in sight and keep the limelight on the duo who needs to be the focus- The Bard and Tenyaya.

Enjoyable chapter, I like the tactics of the detectives trying to get Susan to let slip some fact. Now, someone has jumped in to avoid being taken. The plot thickens. Well written. Faye

That is an awesome poem right there. I live that you don't cheapen the piece by taking out the excellent poetry to post alone. It does add so much to the story and to the Bard as a unique character. NG

Hey mate, good chapter. I ain't got much for words. This is shipshape. I won't let others make others pay for their atrocities. I won't give her the satisfaction! I may be absent for a spell. Stars don't do me much good in me pocket. You earn what you get, a hard worker unlike some? Count your doubloons Mikey.

    Hey, glad you liked it. I had to post the next chapter. Hahaha. People were thinking that I was going to let Nettie drown. So, I had to post the next chapter where I rescue her in the next paragraph. Some funny crap at the end if you have time. Appreciate all the stars my friend. They make the work worthwhile!! mikey

Okay, so they're selling kids into slavery for sex or whatever. Good plot idea.

Problems I see:

Barry and the man simply stood there and listened as Antoinette screamed from the water. Barry spoke, "Do you see anyone else that suits your fancy?"

These kids are worth a LOT of money, so no way they would let Nettie drown. This does not sound believable at all.

Also, if Susan knows they are going to sell her daughter for a sex slave, she is more insane than the bard. NO MOTHER does that if she's anywhere near normal. VERY unbelievable.

Spag to fix:

boat that Angela and the other's where on.

boat that Angela and the OTHERS WERE on.

    Luke told me it would be fun to stop there and start the next chapter with the rescue! Angela is there strictly for the ransom which is a much higher cash amount. But, there is a problem because Barry thinks he controls Elsa and he doesn't. Susan trusts Barry and thinks it's a safe deal strictly for the money. She thinks she is going to come out with the money and her daughter will never know. I'll finish the next chapter right away. Hahaha. I don't want everyone thinking they'll let Nettie drown! mikey

    Phew! Glad to hear Nettie will be ok. :)

So Barry's little operation is more than just kidnapping Angela. I suspected, but now it's confirmed. He's probably selling them for sex slaves? Yeah, the Bard is not as crazy as he sounds. This is very well written.
