No, I didn't have a chance to read the previous chapters; however, you write very well when it comes to creating very dramatic scenes where a lot of action is going on. There are many characters that don't get confused in the story. The dialogue lines are also well written. I enjoyed reading this.

Hi there Barb! This has a perfect combo of excitement and dialogue. This is so hard to do like this! I like that Cassie is okay. Your message of hope is great and conveyed in a realistic way too. I do dislike helicopters...and your mention of them is aggravating! LOL! ") I hear the darn things in my dreams. They actually beat the air with their rotors. Excellent chapter again Barbara!

I am glad I read the next chapter...I really am enjoying this tale! I found a couple of typos/ editing details. Great story!

the shortest slugged Joe's right jaw.

shortest what? Needs clarification

this sounds odd when you say "that" man. Do you mean the shortest man?

At the same moment, a bullet whizzed past him and hit that man.

    I had man in that sentence and was told to take it out because I had too many 'man' in the that paragraph. I will add it. The same thing with that, I had shortest and was told to take it out for the same reason. Thank you.

    Her is an example of how you can rectify those problems:
    The shorter one slugged Joe's right jaw. "I'm in charge. My first order's to kill you." He grabbed the knife from behind his belt, sliced Joe's left arm, then held it against Joe's throat.

    The heavyset guy grabbed his arm. "You can't kill him. He's our ticket out of here." He yanked the knife from his partner's hand. "We need him alive for insurance."

Oh WOW!!! How exciting Cassie has been rescued and I love the scene with Sarah and Joe. The love and tension is present, there's no denying their feelings now. Well done.

Congratulations on being in the home stretch with your novel. You certainly added to the tension with the arm slicing! I raced on to find out if the the rescue would be successful--this chapter read like a well-crafted screen play--I could visualize the scene easily.

I hope the complete bed rest does the trick and the New Year brings you continued recovery. May the holidays blanket you with cheer- Joan

This was, of course, a most satisfying chapter. People's feelings are out in the open, there is a better perspective now overall. Excellent.

This is another wonderful chapter, with wonderful news... I'm so happy that Joe was able to rescue Cassie and be able to get them both out of the house safely,
but, in the other hand I'm agree with doctor's prescription about taking time in bed, just to rest... Please, take good care of your self dear Barbara. We'll be waiting for you as long as you need time to recovery completely...
Many blessing and Merry Christmas!

Barbara, great write with clear descriptive narrative and strong, credible dialogue. Glad Cassie was finally rescued unharmed by Joe, and hope so are the other girls. Another strong installment in this very well penned story. Excellent work, my friend.

Ama

P.S. Hope you're taking your doctor's orders to rest seriously !

Hi Barbara,

Good rescue there, Joe certainly pulled off a small miracle, but now the other girls will be even harder to rescue I suspect.

Good ending to it, lightens the mood a littel, but keeps the dramatic tension.
