Beautifully written chapter, Ric. Your technical writing of the different acid was very professional.

Poor Tucker, they could have stuffed a clean rag in his mouth.

Short-circuited brain signals unable to differentiate between a rhythmless Hustle and be-bopping Macarena. [Love this line. Especially "be-bopping Macarena"

Tape was stretched multiple times overlapping his mouth in front and the occipital bone at the base of his rear skull. [Good descriptive writing]

    Thank you so much, Amahra, for your extra-special six-star review and kind words. I'm regularly awed by your beautiful descriptions and details and you are definitely one who has heightened my efforts to work harder and get better. You've made my week! I appreciate YOU!

    Thank you, Ric. What a kind thing to say. Coming from someone whose writing skills I admire, I'm touched.

Oh, this is so clever. You have turned the goodies into wanted criminals with aplomb, and even neater turned the baddies into heroes and made them considerably richer at the same time. Where can you go from here? Are you really going to kill off the goodies - that's against the rules, isn't it? Kate xx

    Thank you so much, Kate, for your extra-special six-star review and kind words. As someone who just starts writing without an outline or a plot, I just sit back and wait for the story and its characters to tell me where it's going. Right now, I've hemmed myself and the good guys into a corner. Honestly, with no idea where it'll go from here. LOL. Thanks for the encouragement. I appreciate YOU!

well, now you've done it. You've left us wondering what in the world is going to happen to Tucker? Just as he thought nothing could get worse it did.

    Thank you so much, RockinM, for your extra-special six-star review and kind words. Yes, at sometime in the past, we've all thought things couldn't get worse - but most of the time, they did. LOL. I appreciate YOU!

Wow! This was already good and now it's even better. I can't wait for more.

His captors didn't tarry long. The front gates of the shack were swung closed, chained, and locked behind them. Then, they vaulted into a blue Beamer, quickly merged into the old casino's outgoing traffic, and sped away. (Could Tucker see this???? If not, it can't be there.)

    Thanks you so much, Barbara, for your extra-special six-star review and kind words. Yes, Tucker could see from where he sat. I made it a point to say that he could see the Trocadero and it's landscape through the quarter-inch cracks. I just may need to go back and move it to where readers won't miss it. Everything about me and what I do needs some rearranging sometimes. LOL. I appreciate YOU!

    I noticed that, but wasn't sure it covered the Beamer. It probably did, it was just me. I constantly move sentences around. I do understand.

    I should do a lot more moving than I do. LOL. Thanks, hugs. Have a wonderful weekend!

You certainly know how to make a story interesting. All that information about what acids do to bodies and talk of shredded flesh gives me cold chills. Farnsworth has managed to pull the wool over everyone's eyes and come out the big hero. I do wish since you don't post these episodes close together that you'd have a paragraph to remind us of what went on before. Maybe just a list of characters with enough to tell us something about them.

    Thank you so much, Beth, for your extra-special six-star review and kind words. Yes, I definitely need to give you a longer paragraph to explain what's happened in the past and an outline of characters. I'll add that to my to-do list. I've just always been hesitant since so many gripe if it makes the chapter too long. If I get past 1,200 or 1,500 words, people just stop reading, for the most part. LOL. I appreciate YOU!
