Comment from Mary Shifman
I liked this chapter a lot. I was immediately hooked and wanted to know more details regarding their adventures. I like mysteries and this was well set up and it not only did it leave me wanting more, I wanted to know the details of what happened prior to this scene. There was one paragraph where I lost track of who was speaking, 'I wasn't kidding when this turned out to be a ghost town.' No one actually called it a ghost town but there were references to ghostly white sheets. It still isn't clear to me who's talking. Still I loved the chapter and read the book if I could print it.

Thank you for your involved review. Tommy had called the area a ghost town in the previous chapter. This place is usually crawling with tourists. You are invited to read any of the previous chapters. The first 13 are about Liz & Linda rescuing 10 Native teens from a trafficking operation. Every chapter is suspenseful. There is no need to write a review. Just enjoy.

Thank you, I will.
Comment from J.R. Michael
Wow what an adventure these characters have been through. Using the "sitting and resting" as a tool to go through the different predicaments was both smart and humorous. The dialogue is natural and believable. Makes me really want to see what these girls got up to and where they're going. Needed a little more clarity as to the setting of the characters, but I think that's attributed to reading a chapter out of context.

Comment from Judy Lawless
You've done a good job of carrying on this mystery, Liz. We wonder what has gone on in the town, causing every shop to close up, apparently for a long term. We also hope that there is indeed someone in the garage and their car is ready for them to drive away.

Comment from lancellot
A good chapter and a nice recap of things for the readers. I would look closer at the punctuations on your speech tags. Periods, commas and consistency. Good work
"Me too. Liz said, "Ugh. I know my sciatica is going to kill."
- this line needs editing.

Comment from Aiona
What a harrowing-but-interesting adventure these women are having! It sucked me into reading it. I appreciate the run-down they're giving me of previous events as they quibble with each other.
Several things:
1. "He waved his hands to the building behind him."
Has a weird mouth-feel. I think the phrase is usually "waved his hands at the building behind him." Or sometimes "waved his hands towards the building behind him."
2. "...no more than 5000 feet away, was holding a gun?"
Commonly, numbers are written out in prose. ex. "five-thousand feet"
But also.... 5000 feet is close to a 3/4 of a mile. That's a long way! Depending on the terrain, most people can't even see anything 3/4ths of a mile away. Did you mean "no more than five-hundred feet?" That's about twice the distance before one has to slow down for a stop sign. I guess I'd have to read back a few chapters to find out.
3. "It was nice to sit quietly on that large fallen Maple log,..."
I don't think "maple" in this context is a proper noun. So I don't think it needs to be capitalized. Again, I may have to read back to find out.
4. "This looks like a setting from an old movie, The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly...."
Since it's a movie, I think the title is supposed to be in quotation marks. But since it's in a quote, I believe one is supposed to use single-quote marks.
ex. "This looks like a setting from an old movie 'The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly.'...."

A fantastically great continuation chapter, Liz. It was indeed a good reminder of the events of their adventures. Perhaps the garage is open, after all they do hear music. Well done and very much enjoyed.

I liked the recall of the various times seated in the past during this big adventure. I also liked the reminder to stretch! I'll do that now. I can completely relate to being stiff after sitting a long time. I hope they will get some answers from the folks in the garage.
Suggestion/Comment:
The van whizzing at them, (whizzing toward them?)
and cousin Juniper�¢??, (Fanstory character problem)
