This is another really good post. I don't feel sorry for that scum of the earth. I am really worried about Helen. I'm wondering if her and Kayla will disappear. I fear they might and poor Charles will be searching for them again.

Thanks, Barbara. It looks as though The Lion has reaped his just rewards. The question about what happens next with Helen and Kayla is a good one.
Comment from royowen
I like the sound this suffering from resident nasty Abdul Jaleel Zenar, but poor Helen, has suffered at there hands, and is inconsolably disturbed by the whole experience, Kayla would be particularly handy in a fight, and helped disable Abdul, Charles decides he'll hand over the prisoner to the border guards, but will he be able? Well done, this is a brilliant write, blessings Roy

Most welcome Tony
Comment from Aaqib Naeem
This was another thrilling chapter with the main villain finally at the front and centre again! Also, good to see Kayla reunite with her sister. While I like how you do your homework for these chapters, I was still pleasantly surprised by the Bohat Shukriya Badi Meharbani part haha! Well done! :-)

Comment from Suzanna Ray
Dear Author, clear precise organization is always helpful to the reader, and I just wanted to tell you that of all the good qualities, in this post that I could complement, I appreciate this one the most.( particularly with all the action going on) AND even better you left a hook to make me impatient for the next chapter. ie
' what will happen to the brief case left behind, AND all the money left scattered to the winds.'

Tony,
Nicely done. I am really pleased that all went so smoothly and without any major hitches or hiccups. Are you nearing the end, now? This appears to be tying up some loose ends...
I thought you handled things well and saw no nits. Nice job!

Thanks for your review and encouragement, Robyn. Yes, nearing the end now. Probably two more chapters to go.
Comment from Sankey
Wow! Talk about drama and female ingenuity in punishment! Full of intrigue and looking for the next twist and turn in the whole drama. You did well. Wrong time of the week for a SIX but no spags. If I have not said so and you like biographical prose, look for BethShelby an old FS'er returned after a long break.

Thanks, Geoffrey. I appreciate your continued interest and support. Thanks, too, for the heads-up about Beth. I'll look in on her work when I've got time. Best wishes, Tony
Comment from estory
If you're aiming for James Bond, then this is James Bond. Plenty of action, with all those karate kicks, the fight at the cave mouth, the rescue of Helen and the capture of the lion. He seems kind of a let down. My only real complaint is that you put in a tougher fight, with Abdul fighting back and his henchmen giving everybody a run for their money. Otherwise there is plenty of action and a happy ending seems to be in the cards as Helen comes away. We still need to hear her story. Vivid descriptions and plenty of adjectives make this come alive. Maybe a little more dialogue, some arguing, might help it. estory

Some useful suggestions here, estory. I'll let them ferment for a while and then come back to this chapter and take another look. As always, I appreciate your input. Best wishes, Tony
