Comment from Jannypan (Jan)

Excellent

Wow, that Missy is psycho. You did a great job with
this chapter, Gretchen. Missy wants to be the main
attraction at all times, so she just keeps talking and
talking. From that, readers got much great information.
Tyler must have an important part in this story for him
to be in the position he's in. Miranda is always thinking
ahead, so hopefully she'll figure a way out of this dangerous
situation. I liked the part about the paper napkins--sounded
just like I've pictured Miranda and Missy with her dumb response.
Thanks for sharing, Jan

Miranda is about two minutes from panicking. She knows when she can't get Missy to talk anymore, it's over. Thanks for this in depth review. Gretchen

Wow, she really is around the bend, totally merciless. An excellent chapter, exciting and intriguing. It's hard to come out on top when there is a crazy person with a gun. Well written.

Miranda is in a tough spot. Thanks for this nice review. Gretchen

Missy is not playing with a full deck! Her admitting to killing Ed Preston is telling me she has something other than a ride through the park with Miranda and Tyler. Great chapter! Best, JohnC

Yep. I don't see her having a problem killing Tyler, but she has such a fixation on Miranda, she just might struggle with that one. Gretchen

Seems I missed this chapter. I was wondering as it looked from the preview in the next, as if I had missed this. Quite gruesome this Missy for sure. Glad I came back to this.

Missy is more than one brick shy of a load. Thanks for this fun review. Gretchen

Hehe, the first time I have heard that one is a brick short of a load we say for example "one shrimp short of a barby" etc.

Poor Tyler might be too dumb to die. LOL. But never fear, Miranda is going to be there to save the day. Thanks for sharing. ...........................................................

I think Tyler is naive not dumb. He fell for Missy's femme Fatale personna. Thank-you for the nice review and rating. Gretchen

I feel like it is a mistake to make Tyler look like a wimp in this chapter. It's just my opinion, but I don't see how he could be a deputy and be a wimp. I think shooting him in the leg would disable him to the point of relenting to her demands and maybe tying his hands behind his back. Other than that it was scary and exciting and Missy is showing her true colors here. Well done, Gretchen. Mitch had better show up soon if he is to be the hero. LOL Nancy:)

Tyler isn't a wimp. But he's been trained to try and talk a situation down not use brute force. And I believe Missy has misled him like most manipulators do. He figured her out just a tad too late. Thanks for this great review. Gretchen

I read this out of order, but it fit in really well, and cleared up a few things from the post I previously read this morning. I do like this story. Thank you for sharing it with us.

Okay! Obviously, I missed a chapter. How in the heck did that happen. I follow you, and download your Miranda stories when they post. Obviously not! You've kept the tension on high throughout this chapter while providing some excellent motivation for Missie. Great job, Gretchen!

I just posted a followup chapter to this one. Thank you so much for this incredibly nice review. And the rating is a nice bonus. Gretchen

How interesting, when I read these episodes I'm always amazed that you know where you're going, I've thought of a partial solution but, she could crash the car, or even The sherrif could turn up, or even the bumbling deputy, but either way, in the long run, Missy is stuffed. She's possibly not thought of that, beautifully written, blessings Roy

In all honesty, I have no idea where I'm going. Just follow the character's lead. Thank you so much for this nice review. Gretchen

I have great confidence in you Gretchen

Was Tyler in on it with Missy? That's why he sent the other deputy away. I'm curious as to how Miranda's going to get out of this predicament. I'd crash her "baby."

Tyler was mislead by Missy. Not in on it. He got duped. Thank you for this awesome review. Gretchen
