Tucker: The Getaway (Part-5)
The threesome breaks free-temporarily.34 total reviews
Comment from C. Gale Burnett
Since I haven't been around for a while, I got reacquainted with Tucker by re-reading the 1st chapter. I got so wrapped up in the story, here I am now in Chapter 5 and am so glad it did not end here.
Excellent storytelling; at times, I felt my heart racing. I laughed many times; your characterization of Tucker was entertaining, serious, emotional, etc., and had all the qualities of a hero.
The creative details you wrote of characters, place and especially action was off the charts.
Great, great job!

Thank you so much for this extra special six-star review and your kind and encouraging words. If it weren't for reviews like yours, I would have given up writing a long time ago. There are many elements to life and characters, so I try to throw in hints of everything, mostly in a spoof fashion. But with a laugh or two to lighten the seriousness of action and emotions to take the edge off. Of course, seldom do many catch the intended humor, but I'm thankful for those like you who do. LOL. I appreciate YOU!
Comment from L. Kalere
Whew! I'm exhausted Ric. Your writing is like a wild roller coaster ride, that we can't get enough of. I'd hate to think what Tucker would be like if he actually enjoyed violence. It makes me wonder what his background was like. So, how about a prequel? Great job, once again.

Thank you so much, Linda, for your extra special six-star review and kind words. I'm just a silly OLD boy who needs to ramp up the action in his life somewhere, keeping his areas of choice out of mind. LOL. No prequel for this one, I've been trying to end it since the third chapter. Of course, there is always a chance of bringing Tuckers back and filling in his earlier days, sort of like they've done with Batman, over and over. Thanks for your continued encouragement. I appreciate YOU! It's about time for you to post something. I'm having withdrawals.
Comment from Judy Lawless
This is another action-packed addition to this story, Ric. I can see how it's taking on a life of its own. It's very well written and I have no suggestions for changes. I'm a couple of days late getting to it.

Thank you so much, Judy, for your extra special six-star review and kind words. I'm glad you didn't find any mistakes. You are one of the main reasons that I have started paying more a attention to particulars, sentence structure, grammar and punctuation. I figured if you were so kind as to spend your time pointing out my blunders, I should be ashamed not to try harder to make less. LOL. I appreciate YOU!

You are most welcome, Ric. I think I enjoy helping others with editing as much as writing, when it?s appreciated. Hugs
Comment from royowen
Although I haven't read anything previously, I read this one off episode with great interest, it's amazing how desperation can move folk to become what they are not, Tucker shooting out of necessity was an example, Heavy's arrogance obviously misjudged that comprehensively. Brilliant work Ric, just loved the imagery in the episode, and a great ending leading into the next episode, well done, blessings Roy

Thank you so much, Roy, for your generous review and kind words. It's always a pleasure to have such a fantastic poet and wordsmith drop in and read my foolishness. Much appreciated!

Most welcome

That was most enjoyable, we are all on the same journey
Comment from Wayne Fowler
Lotsa fine thriller action! Good work.
". . . don't make me shoot you." - Don't know what the ellipsis adds.
to Heavy's recue - oops
Ummm, shot in the leg and shoulder you want him to drive???
For someone who doesn't like violence, he's a pretty good shot! lol
run damnit." - I'll bet you poured over the spelling! It just looks odd. Maybe two words?
hidden dimly lit runway - maybe a comma after 'hidden'?
to greet the them - oops
Best wishes.

Thank you so much, Wayne, for your generous review, suggestions, and kind words. The ellipsis in between "Don't make me shoot you" was to show a hesitation in dialog. Ummm, well, I know it's hard to drive shot in the leg and shoulder, but I sure wouldn't have wanted to have both hands tied up driving with the thug sitting beside or behind me for directions. LOL. There are plenty of us who don't like violence who are fine shots if under pressure. As for damnit, I wrote it that way because when most people say it, they don't say damn it. I'll add the comma after hidden and correct the other couple blunders that only you've caught. LOL. Greatly appreciated as always!
Comment from Carol Hillebrenner
So, how'd the bad guys get there first? The bad guys really want them dead, or at least Farnsworth wants them to disappear. Does he have political aspirations? I do enjoy your writing.

Thank you so much, Carol, for you generous review and kind words. I've been trying to end this story since the third chapter, it just won't let me. I'm hoping the next chapter will explain everything, tie it all up in a nice bow, and then I can end it. LOL. Much appreciated!
-
Maybe turn it into a book. There are more markets for books than very long stories.
-
Silly short stories are my preference. I hate writing books or very long stories, having to post too often so that readers don't forget about the previous part. But it seems my stories don't want to end lately. My goal it to get back to 1,200 word single part posts. LOL.
-
That would be really hard with all the criminal intent you have in this one.
-
Yes, it's been impossible so far. LOL.
Comment from Sandra Stoner-Mitchell
You have to let the story take you where it wants to go, not the other way round. This was a fabulous chapter, Ric, so much intrigue, intense drama, the part where they had to put the bodies in the acid barrals was rather gruesome. Bubbling bodies!!!! So, how did they get there ahead of Tucker? I can't wait to find out. Well done, a really exciting chapter. :) Sandra xx

Thank you so much, Sandra, for the extra special six-star review and and kind words. Yes, I don't really like the gruesome parts, but I try to keep it to a minimum, just throwing in a splash or two to keep it real. It's always a pleasure to read and learn from your work and get your reviews on mine! I appreciate YOU!
Comment from LJbutterfly
Suspense, action, drama, and excitement fills this chapter, as Tucker escapes captivity and frees T.D. and Tammy. I especially enjoyed your detailed description of how Tucker flipped his chair, rolled over onto his knees and worked his way to the gate. I held my breath and was able to finally breathe easy after the plane's steps descended. I'm now gaging on that final sentence. This story is exhilarating.

Thank you so much, Lorraine, for your extra special six-star review and kind words. Yes, this one has a couple graphic places that even I don't like. But I have to try and keep it somewhat real. Hopefully the next chapter will end it, but I've been trying since the third chapter. LOL. I appreciate YOU, and your kindness and encouragement!
Comment from Shirley McLain
This chapter is full of action and suspense, with Tucker's escape and freeing the other two. I didn;t see any mistakes to tell you about. Have a great evening. Shirley

Thank you so much, Shirley, for the extra special six-star review and kind words. But most of all, it's the time and encouragement from such a talented writer that means the most to me. I appreciate YOU!
Comment from BethShelby
Your have certainly packed it with action. Tucker was quite the escape artist. I don't think anyone would accuse him of not being the killer type now. This story has a mind of it's own and it isn't letting you get off with just a few chapter. Excellent writing.
