Oh, the action and excitement! I can't stop reading. I hope I'm done before it's time to leave for work.

Check out the first sentence. I think "Annie" should be "Mary."

A whirlwind of debris whipped around the yard, bashing against Annie's fort and the shed. The trees moaned and swayed like Tahitians dancing to the thunderous beating drums. Torrents of rain pounded against the cottage walls.

The impossible has happened. I feel bad for Michael. (Who knew?)

Mr. "Land Rover" is speeding away...

Is Faith alone and vulnerable now? Why....yes.

I hope Sebastian watched old reruns of "Lassie!"

This is deliciously excruciating!

    thank you for your kindness and enjoyment of the story. I love your phrase "deliciously excruciating". Sebastian might only be a puppy but he's had good training. Smiles!

Carol,

Okay - awesome. So Michael is going to support the good guys. I'm happy about that. There's a good chance that more - LOTS more will come out that way. Wow. Exciting to think of it.

Moving on!

So Michael plays a role that may lead to Annie's rescue? I'm glad a guy named Michael in your story isn't a bad guy, after all! They have to get Annie back, they just have to! And Faith, as sick as she is, came out looking for her little girl and got herself muddied up.

    Please forgive me for being so far behind on answering reviews, fixing suggestions, and thanking everyone for the kindness. Good thing a birthday only comes once a year. I posted to my family that I was cooking and for the first time in years, by house was over flowing for two days after two days of cooking. Now in three days, Matthew starts filming again and I must cook for them. This woman is tired. Thank you for all your support and kindness.

    Smiles, Carol

You've written another spell-binding chapter, leaving this reader wanting more! Great follow-up of the question of who took Annie, and I can't wait to see what happens next!

Another great chapter of your book. I enjoyed it immensely. The characters are so real now that I've gotten to know them. One murder to another.
Good job!

I'm a bit behind schedule because something I was writing yesterday took priority. Hope you can forgive me. This is another stunner--glad that Michael has recovered his conscience. I thought he'd be in Mason's camp. Brilliant work!

    Thank you again for your extreme kindness. I am deeply appreciative. I think he discovered he was in over his head with Cynthia. At least I hope so. Thanks again.

Where's the next part??? Will Mary recognise Liz? I'm glad she's going to the ranch to get help, Hank and Garth will be right there for her. OMG, Carol, my heart is racing! That was so exciting, but I need the next chapter! Well done again, for nearly giving me palpitations! Hugs and love, Sandra xxxx

    I am writing as fast as I can and as long as the internet will cooperate. i hate getting kicked off and losing everything I have posted - reviews, thank yous, responses to other writers. Ugh!

    I am off to try and write some more. The stories starting to roll downhill now... Hurrah for the good guys and Sebastian.

Wow. This was scary to read. You captured the scene perfectly.

Great descriptions. Mud on pajamas, scenery, etc.

And Really good dialogue. It's not "forced". Not at all.

And whoa you got my attention right away and this is the first chapter I've read! Hard to do my friend.

Well done and well deserved :)

Good! This shows Michael wants to do good. He's not as evil as Cynthia. I like that. I am pretty sure because of Cynthia, Mason has Annie. I hope Garth and Hank can get to her before she's hurt. I enjoyed reading this. Thank you for sharing.
