Thank you for the kind review.

This is an outstanding continuation of the chapter. The drama is compelling and the tension increasing. The situation and the dialogue are very realistic. Unfortunately, this happens in real life too often and is easy to envision.

Comment from Anisa-
Very tense chapter here. Hoping Anna makes it out okay. Just one question ... When the officer is speaking through the loud speaker I get how the people in the apartment can hear him, but how are the police hearing the responses of the people in the apartment?

Thank you for the kind review. They placed a microphone through the bathroom window and George has the receiver.
Comment from CALLAHANMR
Hi Barbara:)
Bobby is so enraged that all judgment is gone. He is in a manic state probably fueled by alcohol or drugs. I know this won't end well. With a SWAT team on the way Bobby has no easy out. Even if he surrenders now, he will likely spend many years in prison. Most likely, he will be killed by the SWAT team.
If the police act quickly, Anna should recover, but her injuries are severe. With Bobby and his friends out of the way, she should finally be able to put most of her fears to rest. Best of all she has the support of Troy and his family.
So, I predict a terrible, but deserved, outcome for Bobby and a Good outcome for Anna after a few weeks to heal.
Love and Irish Hugs for powerful writing.

Another good chapter.
The action moves along well.
Excellent dialogue that conveys the intense emotions of characters on both sides of this situation.
A great writing this chapter where the negotiators got take a look at Anna. Poor Anna. I hope she can survive through all this. The tension is on high alert. Well done!

Comment from Maureen's Pen
Oh boy, heart pounding as I'm reading.
Great post Barbara, you have penned this perfectly. It holds all I would think such a situation would have.
Only saw one little edit. Otherwise perfect reading.
Imagery is strong, and the emotion within the post is elevated and it works well.
Thanks for sharing.

"Thanks, the name's George. Do ( have you) any other suggestions?" he asked as ...// you have

You handled this really well, Barbara,
clearly showing the scene to your
readers, and just how dangerously brutal
Bobby is. Poor Anna.
Do have you any other suggestions
Do you have....

Thank you for the kind review. I have made that correction.
Comment from Carolyn Hilliard
I don't know how the others feel, but Bobby angers me. He's a garbage mouthed brute. I'm looking forward to him getting
what he deserves; don't care if he is a sick in the mind and heart; rabid dogs get shot, he deserves no less.
Could be wrong, but believe the sentence below need [in] in it.
The negotiator turned [in] his direction.
The center quotation mark needs to be removed.
"I need the SWAT team." This is going downhill."

Hi Barbara,
I held my breath as I read this chapter. I am so afraid that Bobby will kill Anna. He is insane and no telling what he will do. I'm glad Michael is safe for now. Poor Anna she has been beaten so bad but most of all she fears for Michael.You have written this scary chapter with the skill of a good story teller. Well done....blessings, chey

Barbara you have me in suspense once more girl. I hope they hit the shit out of Bobby before they kill the bastard, because that is what he deserves. Well done with this part.
