I'm so glad Michael wasn't hurt. Another sign of PTS, Anna fearing she would be have her child taken away,for a innocent mistake. The loud muffler (car) is suspicious. I'm sure all of it will come out soon.

    Yes, it is all going to come out shortly, well maybe shortly isn't the correct word. I appreciate your kind review.

A great chapter with plenty of suspense and the usual self-blaming that poor Anna does to herself. I'm glad she has good people to mirror back to her that she's doing a good job despite how she feels, barbara. They're good people. Kind regards, Bev

who those pipes belong too - to
I'm horrible mother. - I'm a horrible
Anna sure is in need of a confidence boost - I'm so glad Troy is reassuring her that she did nothing horrible.
Accidents DO happen - someone is not to blame for every event in our world. :-) Brooke

HI Barbie, nice to talk to you again. Gosh, I have been absent and busy off site. The story progressed well. I feel sorry for Anna. With all Bobby's nonsense she really suffers from low self esteem and it's going to take lots of gentleness from Troy to make her believe in herself. Well done. luv jada

    Thank you for your kind review. I just took a huge hit. It felt like a dummy, but after I checked out the review, the reviewer was in error, often. I hope you hang around for awhile.

Glad to get this one. It was hard waiting all week to see what happened. I don't remember the previous chapter mentioning there were two dogs, but that might just be me. But it seemed all of a sudden when the kid went back home that he had 2 dogs instead of 1.

Notes:

Inside the apartment(,)

I'm (a) horrible mother.

If Troy (hadn't) dropped by,

my baby might be fighting for his life(,)

I've already figured it out(,)

After the officer() listened

The officer scanned () the crowd.

"I'm sorry() you were bit."

It was (an) accident.

    I mentioned in the previous chapter he was walking two large breed dogs. I will check those areas out. It seems I'd better review my punctuation book. I will let you know what corrections have been made.

    I have made the corrections.

    I changed the ranking to 5. Looking forward to next weeks. Ooops, that will be Christmas so I guess I'll have to wait longer. Merry Christmas.

    Thank you, I probably won't post until Monday. I am writing it as we speak.

You bring out the tension of possibly tainted blood splashing on Anna and the child very well.----Bobby was right. I'm horrible mother. Because I put Michael at risk, Troy was bitten. If Troy wouldn't have dropped by, my baby might be fighting for his life or worse. I'm going to lose him and there's nothing Paul can do. Why didn't I put him in the front seat? That would have been the best way to handle it. Why am I so stupid?/For my own info; is this typical thinking of a formerly abused woman?----The officer scanned at the crowd./Awkward; drop at.----It's my fault Troy got bit./That may be too much self flagellation. The reader should get the point by now.----This is another great chapter; full of flawed character glimpses. Well done.

    Yes, it is typical behavior for abused women. She needs to build her self-esteem. She believes she deserved all the bad that happened to her. I will kick the at out and delete the last line. Thank you for the honest review. I appreciate it.

I'm glad it was Troy instead of Michael that got bit too. Troy is a hero in Anna's eyes and saved Michael from being hurt, so it all worked out well. They seem to be getting closer to whoever it is that owns the car with the loud muffler. I love dogs too, Barbara.. cats too. But like you said accidents do happen. Hope you have a Merry Christmas and wonderful New Year!

Nita :-)

Hello Barb
I will be glad when I can give you the six stars you deserve.
What a nerve wracking day for Anna and Troy

You kept up a perfect pace throughout this chapter.
I just wonder if the dog that bit Troy should be checked out?

Gert

    I am sure it should be. The teenager should have had a tighter grip or control. I appreciate your kind review.

What an exciting chapter, I'm glad Troy saved Anna's son. I feel for her when she thought the police were going to get her. I loved this chapter. Your story is riveting and splendidly penned. I like how you show and not tell. This is really a super chapter and as I read your chapter ten I could see the action take place in my head with fine imagery. I'd recommend your latest chapter to other reviewers as a 'must' read for a good time. I'd encourage you to keep moving forward with your entertaining story, my friend. I hope to catch your next chapter. Please have a blessed Christmas & a prosperous New Years.
Melissa.
