Oh, boy. Nick should have talked when he had the choice...

Margaret, on the other hand, can't seem to keep her mouth shut!

You may have a glitch with this sentence:

"Dylan, where exactly didn't see these paintings?"

And "Evil Eddie" left some unwanted characters near the end...

(Sidenote: I love it when Garth whips his FBI badge out!)

    Gotta love our cowboy! I think Garth and Eleanor is why my blood is flowing like crazy and I'm whipping out these chapters to get caught up. Losing five days is tough! But never fear...the mighty cape writes again! LOL

Margaret is giving herself and her trysts with the judge away, step by step. Yes, the paintings were quickly smuggled out. I am assuming Nick's cell was left unlocked on purpose? The judge will is conveniently away, but will definitely have a lot to answer for. Thanks for the info about Peter, who has also compromised himself. All very complicated. Well written.

    the judge always has a cover story for himself and gets others to do his dirty work. Glad you are enjoying and thanks for the lovely review.

Well, you said you thought your last story was your best ever, and it was certainly great. But I have to say for my tastes, this one is even better. Outstanding! Thanks for sharing.

    I have to agre with you! I am really enjoying writing this one. I love the mystery and crime but it's fun to add a little spice with Eleanor. Thank you so much for stopping by and living me a smile.

A chapter full of action but seemingly no closer to Megan's whereabouts. Meanwhile, Nick's had a battering and, with the system down, no footage to identify the culprits so a frustrating time all round for Donatelli.
Some edits perhaps
Dylan where exactly didn't see these paintings? (Where exactly (did you) see the paintings?
para starting: Donatelli had already surmised... perhaps some punctuation between the first and second sentence to help with the syntax?
And in your characters list - Charles Weldon - a (renowned) artist

But, as with all your writing, Carol, this has an excellent and professional feel to it and I can appreciate all the work involved in this complex crime mystery with all the characters involved. Well done! Debbie

    thanks so much Debbie for the review, the support, and catching my goofs. Trying to catch up after five days is a bummer and I need all the help I can get. Glad you are enjoying the story. Thanks again!

Nick is paying for his part in the kidnapping. He hasn't talked and likely will be afraid if he does it will mean his like. Already it sound like he may not make it. You are doing a great job on this. I'll see if I have a six left
