Lots of conflict and action in this story. Great job. I did notice a few housekeeping things: When Leya enters the dining room and they talk about the weather and the kitten, I wasn't particularly interested in that. What do you think about just noting that it was quiet until Leya worked up her courage?
Punctuation in "Did you say tried to enter his bed?" should be "Did you say 'tried to enter his bed?'"
Leya glanced in the direction of hearing a chink, chink might be better as: Leya glanced toward the sound of a 'chink-chink' she heard......
Finally, in the BRRRRRRRRRR, BRRR paragraph, If you could develop some inner dialogue it would be stronger, more stirring.
I make these suggestions humbly. I hope they are helpful.
I enjoyed reading your chapter. Congratulations on your accomplishments.

This is a well-written chapter, as usual. It kept me reading from beginning to end. The relationship conflict and the shoot out made the chapter go very fast.

A lot of things going on in this chapter. Once again I feel this chapter could definitely use some more detail - emotion and imagery will really enhance the chapter. It would help up connect with Leya here and will make the shoot out better
- Leya studied her eggs, before she asked, "You said tried to enter his bed?" She accented the word 'tried'.
What is she thinking/feeling/hoping
- Jim smiled. "Right! I bet Steven tries convincing himself of that too."
LOL
- "I don't have time to discuss it but I'd guess your family has come to take you back."
In the light of danger I really have trouble believing he'd say all this. He'll probably just say: I'd guess your family has come to take you back.
His rush, and the situation, already convey the fact that he can't stay and chat.

Excellent part 2 of this chapter. I don't know how I missed it because I have been following along. Well done, full of tension. Good read.

Thank you for your review. I think Christmas and New Year's messed us all up.

Another good chapter. The interplay between Leya and Peggy keeps ramping up. Good use of the nagging emotions of self doubt that Leya is experiencing. Dialogue helps move the story along.

Wow, lots of excitement in this chapter. I may be wrong but I think I may have guessed how the family found Leya. I am anxiously awaiting the next chapter (on the week-end).

Nice to see that the males of the team are beginning to notice Peggy's mistreatment of Leya, and will probably stand up for her more in the future.
It doesn't sound as if the battle with Leya's family is going well for her protectors.

I really love this story and this is an excellent chapter. Fast paced, smooth, strong storyline; exceptional character interaction and dialogue. I can't wait for the next chapter to find out who gave up the safe house... although I have my suspicions!
