The character Leya keeps me glued to this story, and the excitement and questions of what is going to happen next, wow, I forget to look for spags as you are such a great writer, thank you for sharing, and looking for more to read.

Barbara,

If I were the DEA honcho, I'd fire Steven and Peggy or at least take them off this assignment. Leya is a mysterious one, but this is just how it should be. Growing up in that drug-cartel family, she learned to trust nobody. Leya is a difficult character to develop, but you're doing a good job of it. Even better, you're letting her actions speak for themselves and not hitting the reader over the head with excessive "telling." This is why I gave you a six-star review.

Oh, yes. I couldn't find any nits.

Dave

I love the drama in this chapter. It seems like Peggy is really jealous of Leya. I see some trouble between them and Steven ahead, with the last two chapters that were posted. Keep up the good work.

This is a well written chapter showing the animosity Peggy feels towar Leya and Steven's doubts as he finds himself falling in love with Leya. Job well done.

Hi Girlfriend, I could clip Peggy across the earhole. She is one mean cow. The story flowed well and I enjoyed all the interaction. Pity Steven lets Peggy talk to "his wife" like that.
Well done. Jada not well. luv anyway - jada

    Hey, my favorite writing machine, isn't feeling well. I am so sorry. You have probably wore yourself out. Maybe we should take a vacation with sarong man.

- Steven and Leya are outside talking while Leya is feeding a stray cat.
Is this a note or part of the story? I don't think you need it.

- "Steven, Bob and Derek are ready to toss her room."
Peggy's use of Steven's name causes a little confusion. It initially sounds like she's say that Steven, Bob and Derek are all ready to toss Leya's room. But I realise she's talking to Steven

- As a precaution, we'll tap[e] their telephone
conversations."
Do you mean tap?

- I could never fall in love with a woman who lies and [her] family tree is full of criminals.

suggestion: ...a woman who lies and whose family tree...

Cheers

    I have already fixed those problems. I did mean tape, but I may revise that.
reply by empire76 on 06-Dec-2009
    No, actually, you're right.
    You'd use tap if your sentence was, ...we
    ll tap their telephone

Hi Barbara,
It seems to me that Steve now has a loose cannon on his team. Peggy is determined to pin something on Leya and he had better start to ask why. Before she blows the whole team to bits.
Well written, your scene setting and dialogues are very good. One typo -

I'm taking about. - talking...

Patrick
