Now this is a great read! But, I still get the idea that Danny is portrayed as younger than he really is. [still thinking of last chapter I read}. Otherwise no spag, and great write. Sharon

Comment from Sissy
Hey Gayle!
You just KNEW Beth was going to do something stupid like meet up with him. Sheesh! What was she thinking????
Anyhow, very nice chapter here. I'm excited to read the next. I'm glad that Molly has some common sense!
Some stuff to check out:
Beth turned and stared pointedly out the window, refusing to see him. (refusing to 'see' him seemed a bit awkward. Maybe 'acknowlege'?)
He beckoned to her, smiling. She blinked again, but he was still there, beckoning.
away, still beckoning (a lotta 'beckoning' here. Maybe kick one?)
Our friend seems to be gone overly long?" (<--not sure about the question mark here. This part doesn't seem like a question, more of a statement.)
concern narrowing his eyes.
his father, a concerned look on his face
(concern/concerned look - repetitive.)
The cell rang and rang and finally, voice mail
And why is your phone off?"
(When my phone is off, it doesn't ring, it sends the caller directly to voice mail. You might want to check into that?)
Hope this helps!

Hey Sissy,
As always, your review is outstanding. I went in and made the changes already...I agreed with every single one of them. If you get the chance...
Actually, I just hate it that you're not getting the bucks from starting now, but in many ways, it makes the read better, huh? Soon as I make some money, I'll remedy that.
What a great friend, and thank you so much for your help.

Comment from Stephy Jemmisparks
The suspense is building up, and had me hooked . The reactions of the people are so real so candid that it makes the entire story comes alive.

Gayle, I think this is probably the best chapter of your work I've ever read. I've never given away both my sixes on a Sunday but managed to do it today. I really am going to like this book.

Holy Cow! Oh Jan, I'm so thrilled. What a wonderful thing to do. I really appreciate you going back to the beginning like this, and then, to give a sixer! Oh boy!
Does happy dance! Thanks so much, dear friend,

Comment from Paradox Tremors
Oh my God! I can't believe Beth would've done that. That SOB has snatched her and is probably long gone by now. I'm jumping over to the next chapter, holding my breath. A real thriller you have going here.

Dont need "bucks" to read a great story as you are penning.
Comment from TomandOma
Is Sam Hudson really his name? I wouldn't make book on it. And these girls! Rhey can never believe there's danger in being friendly. I suppose they just think parental care has been outgrown and they can handle anything, especially when they've always been protected in a warm family cocoon.
No nits to carp about; just intriguing mystery, well written.
See you next time. Spike

Hey Sis, Yes, they believe they're immortal at that age. I think it's the reason they get into so much trouble. They never see what's obviously waiting around the bend. Thanks for the great review! Hugs, Annabelle

Yet another engaging chapter. No SPAGs detected. Cannot wait to read the next chapter. Will read it tomorrow as it is pretty late now.
Wishing you the best,

Hi Rita,
Wow, a sixer. What a deal, I appreciate that.
This is the headline on daily newspapers around the country. Kids just never seem to learn, do they? Even the smart ones.
Time to call in the dogs!
Hugs,
Gayle

Oh, my! Beth has done it, now. I'll bet she knows better the next time. Wayne's already touched all the bases.
You've gotta have action stirring up here!

Hey Freddie,
Yep, we're in it up to our ears this time. I'm just hoping I can keep the momentum going. So far, it's moving along at a good clip. Now, I just have to bring in the remaining characters! LOL!
Hugs,
Annabelle
