Seems as if Steven is in a fix with this, liking Leyla as he does but not quite trusting her.The dialogue between Steven and Leyla on the porch was done very well.

Good chapter. I really liked the tension between Peggy, Steven and Leya. I haven't read the previous chapters, so I'm not sure what's going on, but I get enough of the story from this part, to have a certain sense of it.
I'm hoping Leya's telling the truth.
Regards, anabelle

I've been wanting to check in to your writing but usually avoid entering later chapters when I did not read the previous. However, I got hooked into the scene right away, felt a sense of the story and characters and am now curious how things will resolve as your plot moves along.
Good dialog and build up of tension.
I have a sense, from this one chapter, that there will be more complexities in character development in how these people relate to each other in future. Subtle shifts indicate future changes.
Curious.
Two tiny suggestions-
She gulped,(not sure you need this comma) before she continued,
"I'll relay the message," he said. (speech tag not needed here)
Good flow/pace, easy to read style and interesting storyline.
Warmly,

I am sorry I fell behind on my reviewing; I was taking Gil Arend's FS meter class and was buried, but it was well worth the effort. By the way, I like your new picture and always appreciate your summaries. I enjoyed your authentic sounding dialog, descriptions of the action and use of italics. I liked the tone you established at the end as well.

Comment from L.lora
Oh Barbara, I so dislike
Peggy at this point... This
extremely strongly written
with high tension and of course
the conflict between the two
women is very well portrayed.
Innocent people always catch the
brunt of things when someone
gets green-eyed... Anxious to see
what is going to happen next.
No spags or nits... Lora

I'm glad I read this chapter. This kind of thriller is what I look for when I want something to read.
There is a sense of authenticity to the dialogue and the setting. The story moves along and it is very easy to sense the tension.
There is no need for any editing that I can see.
Good job.

Comment from Lynar
I enjoyed how the action and crisis scene began, with the lead Leya being the mole. The short and long dialogue between the additional characters kept the story moving at fast, exciting pace.(Peggy; Leya).
Your background data helped orient me to the story, good.
The use of flashback was introduced smoothly in transition, as well as the romance angle between husband Steve and wife. But the end reality for her husband was duty first, in a cliff hanger ending. I yearned to read more about her guilt or not? Your Fiction story was believable. I would recommend it to my friends, No negative comments. Excellent.
