Mikey, the lay out is better with the breaks for me. ROTFLOL at "You mean like Biblically? Well... I'm blushing... Great use of sarcasm and humor in this chapter. A calm before the storm. Well done. I've been MIA dealing with stuff. :0 GracieAnn

You are good at the descriptions of places that feature in your stories. Those details are useful to the reader. Your story has reached a high point, wonder what will happen next. Very believable, well written as always. Faye

Doc Holliday and Planet of the Apes. Just hope that the bard has a dead eye for a dead shot when that elevator door opens. C'mon, plant some lead between Winston' s eyes. Good job keeping the suspense rolling throughout this chapter.

Now, it's a waiting game ... waiting on that big pussycat. Idiots, they were tracked by that stupid cat. Mikey, I adored that phrase ... I'm your huckleberry. I heard them words on some weird show, can't recall. The suspense is thickening. I wonder how the negotiations will go down. Will the hoodlums want the loot first, before they reveal the kids location? How will they get it without being seen? There are cameras everywhere in a casino. Maybe, they will schedule to rendezvous someplace else for the exchange. This is very risky. Hard to pull this off, this day. This read smooth as glass. Although, I can read anything, little commas and such don't blockade me, ridiculous. I speculate ... some readers are spoiled. This is an excellent chapter Dismissed Sir Mikey. wackydo

    Tombstone!! Wyatt Earp, Doc Holiday, one of my favorite movies. A must see. Yeah, good point. They'll have to meet somewhere outside of the Vegas lights and glitz. Eyes everywhere. Taken a day off, trying to catch up a little. mikey

So Barry was about to shoot Winston and end everyone's misery when Winston tricked him, dammit. I want to see those kids get rescued, but I know you can't hurry it. :)

    I really would like to hurry it too! I can't let Barry shoot him, he should be shot too. Maybe I'll have the cat shoot him!!

There's good detail in this one; description of the cars and the room Angela, etc. This is fresh and bones of a story, the word pictures that make it real.

One thing to consider...

"Lucy noticed (him) slipping a bill to (him)."

I was told this can confuse readers when I did it. One of the 'hims'' should be identified.

    Yes, you are so right. I don't even know looking at it. I'll go and fix that. Pleased you noticed the detail, I'm trying to remember to do that. I should read one of your chapters before every writing session!! mikey

    I can't get over how I miss simple errors like commas and exclamation marks even though I re-read no les than 6 times.

Excellent pace in this installment. I feel i can visualize the abandoned school. All thevplayers in place now. Now i see the importance of the kidnapping. It gives the situation a more cat and mouse feel. Care must be taken because of the persinal stake!! NG

Yeah, Winston would definitely recognized them. I wondered how long it would take Angela to start feeling and behaving like a captive. Another good chapter with no obvious errors.
