Ballerina makin' pickles in a cheese factory- no, I don't know what you mean but Grace, pickles and cheese, dancing with the stars on a grand ole opery flatbed loaded on Budweiser...what the hell was I saying? Ach! The bard strikes again.

Sounds like the Partridge family. A heap of kids. Now, it's time for the dummies to come. So, Winston will confront Barry. An abandoned school. Out back. Saw, you been holding back on commas, I don't blame you. I get paranoid every time I use one. It's a cat & mouse game and a chase scene. I forget about where the money exchange is to be? Interesting, how they pull it off, if they pull it off? Over all, good job. Later Lion King. wackydo

Hi Michael,
What a crazy ride in different vehicles ... and all headed for Vegas! The first part of this chapter reads like an action-packed movie script.
I like how you slowed the pace and ended up at the abandoned church.
Very well done, Mikey!
Hope you're having a wonderful week.

Some great descriptive writing here.
Never be afraid to take the time to
Fully describe an environment or a
Charachrer. You are good at it and
It pays in the long run. NG

All the crowd converging on Vegas where sparks will be flying soon, I guess. Well related and full of humour and action. Enjoyable read. Faye

Comment from Phyllis Stewart
You dirty rat, I'm gonna eat you like I ate your brutha, see? <<< LOL! Verrrry clever twist on the famous line!
>>Winston seemed pleased with the information so far.
INstead of TELLING us that, have him SHOW us by what he says.
>>He lost the tail we had on him
Great way to explain "the tail" he was supposedly avoiding, by making it Winston's. I love when you use my idea. Cool. :)
>>The gate to the abandoned school hung by one hinge, but its main support was a wisteria vine...etc.
Now THAT is good writing! Loud applause!
I would not have TOLD the reader where the kids were housed... I would SHOW it, eitehr by letting someone mention it, or have a scene where the kids are talking. There's just way too much "telling" in that whole last section, even to the point of saying when Angela would be arriving there.

Comment from CR Delport
A lot is going on as everyone converge on Vegas. You're setting up everything very nicely for a big fat confrontation. I like the images you create, like the cat and the cigar :) Another great chapter. Didn't spot any obvious errors.

Pleased that you are enjoying. The Bard is fun to write. He's liable to come up with anything. What a great character! mikey
Comment from seaglass
The empty school add an interesting addition. Of course, what city would be more suited for child-sex-trafficking than Sin City. This is well written and the divided coverage did a great job of conveying the feeling I was watching all of them. The old school and church may be the Show-down in the Old Corral.

Yeah. I like that image. Don't be surprised if the Bard starts quoting "Tombstone" one of my favorite movies!! mikey
