Hi Carol, this is moving on with the speed of a rollercoaster. While they were just going for an ice-cream all hell broke loose. What the heck is going to happen now, and what has happened to Allie. Hugs, Ulla:)))

    Hello, Ulla... Can you believe the story is about to wrap. the ending is written in three parts - Chap 41 thru 43. I have posted the first part and the following two will be tomorrow. You will be jumping for joy not to see another chapter begging you to read. Fingers crossed hoping everyone will enjoy the finish. Thanks for all your support.

    Hugs, Carol

I feel like I'm on a roller coaster going down steep slopes with occasional inversions. I hope I don't fall over the sides before the action stops. Both Sam and Allie have been captured. I never expected any of this. It's now up to you Carol to save them.

Wow, Carol! Things certainly have moved forward, since I left off. It's obviously been a very bumpy ride. I wish Allie wasn't kidnapped, but these guys play dirty and will cause trouble all around them, until they are finally caught.

I'm sorry I missed so much of your story. I've had many personal matters to deal with, and unfortunately it's continuing. A lot of the problem is with our apartment. We have a lot of work to do in it, so sometimes you'll see me, and at other times, you may not.

    No problem, Mary Kay. I too am dealing with another round of Kaitlyn and I just want this story ended so I don't have to write anymore. The holidays are ruined for my family, I'm ill, and like you, I have apartments with problems and renters who don't want to pay.

    Thanks for your pointers. I promise to check everyone of them out as soon as I finish all of this. Only a couple chapters left. Hurrah!

    Take care....Always, CArol

    Hello Carol, my dear friend. I'm so sorry that Kaitlyn is still acting out in apparently disturbing ways, and I don't know whether you saw my PM sometime ago, but I think she needs to be delivered, more than healed. It's terrible that she's putting your family through this nightmare. And I'm sorry you're sick and that you're having problems with your tenants and the apartments.
    If you don't want to write anymore, you must really be tired. Are you going to try to publish and sell your books? I hope so. You have the talent, so ... why not market it?
    As far as my review goes, with the revisions, you're very welcome. I'm happy to help. You'll get to it, whenever you're ready. You and your family are still very much in my prayers.
    Love, Mary Kay xoxo

Carol,

Everyone just seems to be suddenly behaving differently than I would have expected. I would never picture Hank and Emmy just letting everyone else deal with an issue as they go home and sleep.

I have a really hard time believing that anyone told Allie to just go home with a different officer to sit and WAIT. She's much more of a gotta-be-in-the-action kind of girl - I thought.

Also:
"I'm going to make it worth your while and buy dessert.
--> this just doesn't seem right. All this stuff going on and they're just going to go have ice cream and go home?

Thanks!

    At the time this took place.... One - they thought Allie was set up as a hoax. Garth was mad, Allie was exhausted, and he thought an officer could take her home because he would be right behind. Allie was frustrated because Vito/James kept toying with her and this was just another hoax (filming).

    Does any of this make it clearer? If not where do you think I should change it?

    No one knew whether Samantha had gone with Vito on her own. though Poppa suspected otherwise.

    Hank and Emmy had done their part and were on the way home, when things started to bother Hank. He was unaware of anything but he wanted to check. He offered his wife dessert as a bribe. Of course, after spotting the car, everything changed.

    I'm sure it all works out chronologically and stuff and that you'll see what I see later on when you have time to come back at it. (I always have to let things percolate while and then go back nd read it all with fresh eyes.)

    You've just painted all these characters as the kind that never go home, never give up, until they TOGETHER solve the crime.

    Hank was even running (huffing and puffing) after the car that had Sam when they left. Since they DON'T know if Sam went on her own or not, it just didn't feel right. BUT I'm just the reader - and you have these guys living in your head now. *smile*

    I don't know my own name at times... I just want it to end.... something I've never thought before...I'm tired!
reply by robyn corum on 15-Dec-2021
    But that's exactly why you have to hang in there. Imagine what they'd do without you?

    You are also serving as an amazing example to them all. You are doing a good work.

Great Writing. I wish I had a six left. This isn't at all good. I sure hope Max is able to do what he's supposed to do at the Mansion because nothing is going right here. I can't wait for more.

    Thank you so much. I am so far behind with showing my appreciation to everyone. Please know it is sincere. This story went in a darker direction than I originally planned (maybe my life got caught up in it) but as we draw closer to the end, I am thrilled that you have continued to follow and enjoy it.

    I hope you have the best of holidays. Hugs, Carol

One goes in the back seat, one is torn out. Broken heals, and a ripped dress. As we said as kids when we played football in the church lot, lets see a little hair pulling and eye gouging . . . hurt somebody. Kind of reminds me of your story. LOL. Thanks for sharing. :-)

The story gives the reader a feeling of driving up winding ing mountains with so many twists and turns. Complicated plot indeed. Allie doesn't seem to be one bit safe, Vito, Welcher and Moretti are proven evil. There are more baddied than the good ones can handle. Interesting. Fine job!

An ominous twist. The disturbing implication of "accident" as to Allie's kidnapping is vividly rendered. Stunning.


the agent heard an unfamiliar quiver in his friend's voice. "Hank, you [alright=>ALL RIGHT]?"

Oh, no! Not Allie, too! Wow, your plot just keeps getting more and more complicated and amazing. Yes, I imagine the boss is plenty upset, since everything has gone wrong. Great writing. Blessings. Carol

Carol, have you been writing non-stop today? I think your imagination is running wild! Lol. You've left us with so many questions, again. I'll be holding on for the next chapter. Great job!
