You're torturing me--he's so close to rescuing Annie and then he gets stuck in a ditch. Vivid multi-sensory rendering of the muck and stench. Brilliant chapter.

Begin Again
I like how you keep us informed of what is going on with the barrels with false bottom and hauling Drugs
From what I read that the If the truck hauls 220 barrels with each load, we're talking eighteen or twenty million dollars."

You didn't say much about "Human Trafficking in this chapter

    All the people that were rescued from the basement fire were locked down there because they were going to be auctioned. Luckily, they were rescued.

I thought Hank was going to catch Miguel or that Annie was going to cause a wreck. Even so it looks like a lot of pieces are starting to fall in place. I don't remember much about Miguel's mom. Anxiously awaiting more.

    Sofia (Miguel's mom) is the woman who lied under oath about Cassidy and that's why Cassidy went to jail. She is an illegal, working with false documents for Mason. He keeps her quite happy.

Well, at least the sheriff knows now. Since the fire investigator didn't say much, I wonder if he needed to be in the conversation.
While I was impressed with Annie's brave efforts, I think that would have gotten her seriously injured. Too bad it wasn't Miguel who ended up in the muck.

    I had to have the fire investigator there or no one could go into the building. He's the first one! And I can guarantee someone would have told me about it.

Great chapter. Now I finally understand why Faith and Annie were living at the ranch. You keep good track of all your characters' relationships & situations, and reveal everything at just the right time. Blessings. Carol

    thanks, Carol. so many reprimand me for not laying it all out for them upfront, but to me it's like Hansel and Gretal...bread crumbs to keep you wondering land interested in the story.

    If you laid everything out at the beginning, there wouldn't be much of a story to read. I prefer the crumbs. LOL!

What a pity that the bikers happened along, Miguel's number may have been up, and Annie finally might have been rescued, but how Hank's beloved vehicle is trapped and bogged, meanwhile back at the church, they have figured out Miguel is involved, but at this stage, the evidence on Mason Caldwell is only circumstantial. Beautifully written Carol, as always, well done, blessings Roy

You're still keeping us in suspense, Carol, but at least Garth has figured out what's going on. Now he just needs the proof. Well done.

One suggestion: "Hank pushed against the car door and opened (the door) it."

I really like this story. I am worried about Annie. I know Hank isn't at all happy. LOL

My mama would never forgive me. I can't kill the child." The front tire left the road, and Mason jerked the car back. (I thought Miguel was driving. I know another man's with him, is it Mason or somebody else. This is confusing.)

    Thank you for catching my error. It should have been Miguel, and even when I reread it, my brain still said Miguel. But I knew if you told me it was there...it was! I found it and fixed it.

    Glad you enjoyed the car chase. yes, Hank is very upset.

Another great chapter is a good way to start off my day, now it's time for Chinese seafood. Then the most strenuous part of my day will be over and I can nap on the best until I get too hot. I hope you have a wonderful day!

    Now, that's a new one for me. Chinese Seafood.... Do you have to catch it before you can eat it... you said it was strenuous!?!? It is getting hot and muggy here too.

    I cooked for my granddaughter's birthday yesterday...just gave my son BBQ, and my daughter is on her way to claim mostaccioli. You'd think I was running a restaurant...and I don't get paid. LOL

    Enjoy your nap... I've got another chapter to write, I hope!

    That's right! I didn't own a catering business for 15 years for nothing. My family thinks it's still up and running. LOL
