Oh Noooo! Each chapter leaves me hanging on a hook. Bennie is messing up. If he talks, his dad might talk. If questioned, Sandy could say she saw an expensive looking ring, and I haven't forgotten the bank teller who saw Lance on the floor scooping up diamonds. I'm on a roller coaster. Yikes!

Sandy is a question mark in the story I think. She acts tough at times, but her loyalty likes beneath the surface. As for the bank teller, she was nosey but definite afraid of what she saw. Not sure how quiet she will be.
Smiles and hugs, Carol

Comment from Judy Lawless
This is another excellent chapter, Carol. We can see that Bennie is setting himself and Lance up for a whole lot of trouble, unbeknownst to Lance. We'll see what his father has to say when he tells him. Great work.
One little spag: "...shoving the remaining gems into his jean(s) pocket."

Fixed and thank you!
I've fallen into the old trap of reading, reviewing and writing crammed into one day. It's too much and I miss things, especially with these eyes. I appreciate you catching my errors.
Smiles, Carol

You?re most welcome, Carol.

So the news of this jewelry is going to be all over town before long. I figured as much. Bennie can't keep his mouth shut. They are going to be dead before long and our friends are going to figure it all out. I know they will.

I imagine out of fear and a bit of thought, Bennie and Lance will be on the run soon as secrets unravel. As for our darling duo, they've got their work cut out for them, not knowing the truth about much.
Smiles and hugs, Carol

Talking about wild imaginations, it would take a Hollywood screenwriters guild to keep up with you and yours. LOL. Your son came by his talents honestly. Now I'm just hoping a little more contact wears some off on me. LOL. Thanks for sharing.

You, my friend, have more imagination than I could ever come up with, though yours tends to travel a dark vein than mine. LOL Never question your abilities. I am amazed at every story you write. You take me places I would never venture.
Thank you for all your kindness and the stars. I appreciate YOU more than anything else.
Smiles and hugs, Carol

I guess you can't trust your best friend, who can't resist when seeing a pile of shining Jewries. On the other hand, Bennie helped to preserve some of them before the gangster got hold of them.
I like the dialogue pattern of drunk people.
Well done.

Thanks so much... Bennie was raised by his dad and unfortunately, life was rough. The jewels overwhelmed him as he battled with his common sense. He didn't mean to betray Lance he just wanted to share his excitement with his dad............and things began to unravel.
Smiles, Carol
Comment from Tom Horonzy
For a moment I thought this was a story in a place I lived in NJ but do I assume it right if I say Boston. That was my firms home office. Loved the town. Marijuana was that around back in the day. I never have smoked a toke. Didn't see getting more dazed than the state I live in which is my own, as one may tell from the hundred+ forms I write about. I have no idea where my mind will lead me, so I tie myself to the Spirit within me which keeps me out of most troubles.

Boston would be the correct choice. An article about the tragic gang wars made this story spiral away in my imagination. I am thankful that people are enjoying it. I agree marijuana would have sent me places I would never have understood.

Comment from Sandra Stoner-Mitchell
Oh my goodness, if he tells him dad, that will be it for Lance, and him! It's the wrong trade to be in, flashing some other gangsters jewellery about. I see trouble ahead! Another excellent chapter, my friend. :)) Sandra xx

Well, of course, my dear friend would be here to put a smile on my face while Fog hangs outside my window. Yes, I fear Bennie doesn't listen to his own advice and trouble will definitely follow.
Thank you for your kindness and the shiny jewels!! I am so happy to be writing again and knowing others enjoy it, especially you.
Enjoy your afternoon and look out for all the spooks and goblins lurking close by, ready to pounce when the clock strikes midnight. LOL
Smiles, hugs and lots of love, Carol
Comment from Mario PIERRE
Really good drift...! I enjoyed the characters, I could 'feel' them and imagine their traits. The dialogue was quite good too. A story easy to follow and quite interesting. I just had a little problem with the 'drunk' accent. I found it slightly too crowded, but that's my lack of American English fluency probably!
Overall, good story.

Thank you for stopping by and reading my story. I love the fact that you enjoy my characters. A special part of me wants each of them to come alive and have a life on paper.
