Well, I can understand why Fisher wanted to be so "cooperative" with the local law enforcement by all the apparent anomalies of this case.
This was another interesting chapter with plenty of excitement for this "over-the-hill" gang. Seems like the story is winding down now, as I'm not sure how much more these old coots will be able to stand. I think they've all earned a nice, relaxing retirement.

Thank you.
3 more chapters, with a twist or two.
Comment from Pam Lonsdale
Ben and Sylvia and Benji make a good team:-) And the mob is interested in these old geezers? Makes us old geezers look important!
That last line though - "stirring his personal honeypot" - I'm leery of that. Is Albion on the take, I'm wondering, if it's his honeypot.
But then, I'm always looking for the message behind the message.
Take care,
xo

I just love the way you come up with your characters and the names you give them. Making me think back to Red Skelton's Clem Kadiddlehopper, and now, you're talking about Curtis Jackson. And although not everyone will recognize the name, I immediately connected the name with notorious thug, rapper, actor, and writer, 50-Cent, the moniker for Curtis Jackson III. LOL. Thanks for sharing.

God is watching over them, nit that the mob realises it. The authorities are doubtless perplexed when trying to connect the dots about all those past experiences of God at work.

Well, it is a good idea to bring in the FBI and the Trooper to retell the story from their perspective as it includes information that Ben Paul wouldn't know and certainly Slim wouldn't know. It's getting to be quite a circuitous journey in this tale!

Thank you. I hope I can tie it up - the circuitous journey.
Comment from Carol Hillebrenner
The truth is just too much for the FBI. Not wanting to be embarrassed they creep out of the picture where a 120-year-old man is concerned. Regardless of what they want, this case obviously isn't going to disappear. God seems to be making it possible that Sylvia won't get into trouble for shooting someone, they just die. There is one word you might want to correct: yards (from) the house.

Thank you for your great review.
I checked it. A distance 'of' a place is a colloquialism. It means the same as 'from'. "He came within a whisker of making it home." "He parked short of the store." "They stood a mile of the house."

Each chapter is of consistently high quality. It will be quite interesting to see what Detective Albion does with Slim's case. I'm sure there will be many surprises. One very small concern:
"For the first few days Ben and Sylvia, resolving never to allow the other one"...should it be "resolved"?

This is an excellent chapter. You are moving the story along nicely. I look forward to the next chapter. I do not see any room for improvement. Have a blessed day.

It must be interesting for these detectives to have old people, almost getting around like seemingly younger men, or women, 120 is Moses age when he saw the promised land, from a distance, because of his anger, but we'll see him again. A wonderful post Wayne, blessings Roy
