The first two sections of this chapter are quite amusing, with demon DeeCayed trying to convince his boss, Beelzebub, that he'll soon have Joe Santucci's missing cell phone, then ending up with a fake from the gas station's Lost and Found box Patience hands to him. He may lose his other ear when Beelzebub realizes the error.
In Section Three, Patience promises to continue helping when needed.
Then in Section Four, Tommy thinks he'll be ridiculed when he explains how he got Santucci's cell phone; but a report Captain Hank Riley has received apparently changes his and Willa's view. Of course, we won't see that report until the next chapter.
Superb, and aptly illustrated.

Good going. Sorry to say I have not read the other chapters but you seemingly have a rhythm and an objective to reach, and thus I leave you to it. Good luck. .....................

Thank you! I can?t imagine reading this without the previous chapters. You will be lost as you would in any book. The first chapter is the pilot and has a lot of information you don?t want to miss. Sending you my best today as always, Sal
Comment from Thomas Blanks
Speedy Delivery? Does she live in Mister Rogers' Neighborhood? Where's Mr. McFeely? With a name like that, I always wondered about him.
Also, when your boss tells you they don't think you're crazy, that's a sure sign that they think you're crazy.

Comment from Debi Pick Marquette
Yay, I am loving this story so much! I find myself getting lost in it with every part. I love the characters who are so naughty and nice. Of course it is an understatement to call decayed or beelzebub naughty. Sorry but I will never capitalize their names. I suppose the same for calling Patience nice. But the cell phone being found is big and now I can feel the force of evil against good coming more w every chapter. I am on the edge of my seat wanting for another, but I love the suspense.... Thank you my sweet girl for gratitude. You are definitely here to write my sweet Sal! Thank you again for this great read!

Quite gripping! A fascinating intermix of "reality" with the reality of thespiritual world. It's interesting to think how these interactions may be occurring in our real lives too. Well written.

Hey, Sally, Tommy's really good. :) I like the angel Patience. That is what everyone should have, but it ain't going to happen. What's in the report! :) It must be something because Tommy didn't get canned. I guess I'll wait a while for you to have another vision of the ange' Thanks for sharing.

Aw, Jay, you are so very kind! Thank you so much! I am seeing stars here! I am not sure about the book your mentioned but I do enjoy Frank Peretti books and also C.S. Lewis. The Screwtape Letters. The characters Screwtape and Wormwood are reflected in DeeCayed and Nix. More to come. Sending you my best today as always and blessings for Christmas! Sal XOs

Sorry about that, Jose. My eyesight is terrible.
Comment from Jay Squires
Have I told you I adore your blend of so-called reality with the supernatural? You bring it off so very well, Sally. I wonder, have you ever read any of (I'm having a senior moment on names, and hers is right on the tip of my tongue) the comedic demon series this person wrote? (She's dead now for over a year.) She wrote about how the devil incarnated and kept making blundering mistakes. There was an elevator, I remember, going down to hell. Dang, I wish I could remember her name. It'll come to me about 3 AM.
Anyway, I am so thoroughly a fan of this spiritual crime novel. If I ever miss a chapter, please check with my loved ones. I'll probably have died without letting you know in advance.
This is, by the way, my last six! An honor well spent.

Sally,
This just keeps getting better and better . . . and you left us with such a tease! I can hardly wait to find out what happens next. I know. Patience! I didn't find a single flaw in the writing. Keep 'em coming!

Another great chapter. I had to keep reminding myself of these "extra terrestrials" in the story, hehe. So glad to see your notification this morning, Tuesday in Australia. No spags.
