This story had me interested from the start. I enjoyed reading it. I understood what the story was about. It was long but it kept me on edge. I kept wanting to know what was going to happen next. I enjoyed reading this. It doesn't need work.

    Welcome to Fanstory. I see by your profile you are new to FanStory and have not posted any of your writing as of yet. I hope you enjoy the site. I am a bit confused by your rating of three stars which is below average and four stars means it needs adjustments. You mentioned you enjoyed the story, it held your interest and it did not need any work. Thus I don't understand the rating. I thank you for taking the time to read and comment.

    Thank you - Carol

You've got some high-stakes action in this chapter; it doesn't get any hotter than this. I can't believe they just killed Mason! He's the arch-nemesis of at least half the characters in this story.

I found some errors, and offered some suggestions for revisions:

Tito is coming out, and Miguel doesn't want the officers or agents to shoot, but what is Tito's intention? Will he surrender, or come out, shooting? I hope Annie stays hidden.

    Please accept my sincere apologies for this cut-and-paste response, but know that I have read and appreciate your review. I don't want to ignore responses and believe I must thank you for your time and thoughts. Your kindness is deeply appreciated. This morning is the first time in a week that I can call my own and I want to use it to tell everyone thank you.

    Today is also my husband's "Heavenly Birthday" so I believe he is sitting with me, urging me to write and be me.

    I send you a smile and a hug and a huge thank you. Carol

    You're very welcome, Carol. Please know that I have been thinking of you often, and praying for you and your family with love. I appreciate that you answered all of my reviews, even if most of them are cut and paste.
    I'm relieved that you got a few minutes to yourself, so you can sit and think. I will reply to a few of your copied responses, but not to all of them, since they're the same, and it creates more work for you, anyway!
    Love always, with blessings, Mary Kay xoxo

I am still amazed Mason didn't have a gun of his own. That Miguel and Tito didn't kill Mason right off. That Mason did hit Tito or get a Kitchen knife and kill them when they still thought he was asleep. All three of these men are killers.

But, either way, Mason is dead and soon Tito.

    Lance,

    Maybe when my head is straight, I will need to revisit this and take into consideration what you have suggested.

I have a feeling Miguel won't allow Tito to kill Annie. It may be last move but he'll protect the child. This was very well written. I felt like I was watching. That's good writing.

Now you leave me hoping they are smart enough to see Annie before they open fire. But then I think, nothing to worry about, Carol isn't about to let anything happen to the little girl. Thanks for sharing another fine chapter. :-)

This one gets the adrenaline flowing for sure, Carol! Poor Annie will be traumatized for life, if she gets out of this alive. At least Mason got what he deserved. Well done.

Awwe. Poor Mason got what was coming to him... Can't say I shed a tear! Seems there was a fortune in money and in dirt on the big guys ... All THEIR secrets could well be in the wind soon, and that won't be a good thing. Tense, believable fight scene. I was SURE Annie was going to be rescued here but NO! LIKE THE FINE WRITER YOU ARE...you have us on the edge of our seats!

Excruciating suspense, as always--is this the penultimate chapter? Spectacular fight scene--graphic depiction of Mason's death--you nailed it! Now rescue Annie.

Another great chapter to the continuing story. It's exciting and intense. Glad to see that Annie is still alive. I was worried about her. The cops now have Tito and probably Miguel as well. I'll be waiting, as always for the rest of the story.

Begin Again one thing you know how to keep us readers wanting to keep on reading; and not wondering what is going to happen next.
Which to me is good, because, you always lead us to want read more, of your actions that makes your writing so good.
In other words your story is filled with actions.
