This is a momentous chapter, Carol. I felt like I was in the room with them, not a goon mind you. Lol. This was riveting to say the least, my friend. Your talent is extraordinary. I'm sorry to hear about John, hopefully he will heal soon.
God bless,
Steve

I like that bit after Ethan asks Vito "who took her" and then the drama eraupts around him, and he's off. A good chapter in this multi author book Carol.
Well done. cheers

    Chaos...can't have a mystery and drama without a little chaos, right? Beacuse of course it helps the good guy escape.

You are indeed a talented writer and raconteur, your ability with the action scenes tied with Ethan's escape and intuitive perception and intelligence rate him as a potential hero and central character in stories, you deserve to be read wide spread Carol, well done, blessings Roy

    I blush from your kind words... I do love the action and mystery though... and surprises! You haven't been writing as much lately...on purpose or are you not feeling well. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

    On purpose Carol, pressure got to me a little, I'm writing but not posting. But still keeping my interest on others.

    You do whatever makes you feel right, Roy. I can relate to the pressure. I can't seem to be able to keep up with the thank yous no matter how hard I try. Keep doing what you enjoy...writing and then post when you feel like it. Take care

Nicely written.
It was raining, and the shadows weren't empty. - I don't understand this line. Does it say that the shadows had men hiding in them?
I might have missed a chapter. Who followed Wendy? And what was the name of their chapter?
Thank you.

Carol,

This is a great chapter of this book. It was action packed and you could feel the tension in the air.

I don't know who John is, but I hope he heals quickly.

    He writes a lot of cooking stories and recipes...great ones so I was surprised he sliced his finger so bad. Just proves it can happen to the best of us.

Ethan now knows questions can get him killed, but it is his job. Vito doesn't seem to know where his sister is, so Ethan has to look for her. But first he has to keep himself alive. Good action and reaction to the situation.

    I can't wait to see what Robert Zimmerman comes up with. He's following Wendy and she really tossed us a curve. Thanks so much, Carol.

This is ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS! I only five stars left but this is a huge six!!! The tension, the noir language, the action are really moving the plot line forward. Can not wait to see what's next! Lori

Another great chapter, Carol, filled with a tone of menace and threat. Ethan has got himself in deep, and he has no idea at this point of where this will end up - apart from himself in a coffin. He'll have to do some smart thinking! Sorry, I am out of sixes.

    Thanks again for the virtual six, Wendy...I am eager to discover where this sorry will end. Your chapter is a tough one to follow and I'm waiting on Robert Zimmerman.... I hope it's not a coffin.
    Smiles, Carol

Oh this is the most surprising way to ask for prayers for a fellow writer. Thank you for letting us know about John.
Great job with the chapter. Poor kitchen crew who have to do the cleanup! Glad Ethan got more info and got away!

    Heard from John this morning and he says his "digits" are doing fine and he's ready to jump back into the story. So hopefully, we will see soon where this adventure is going.

I'm amazed at how you could jump in at the spur of the moment and add mystery, intrigue, and action. The dialogue between Ethan and Vito was compelling and tense. I hope John heals quickly, but you've done a super job carrying the story forward.
