This has many of the features necessary for an exciting story. In your notes you mention Grant as ex SAS Commander. The SAS is part of the army and has army ranks. He might have been a lieutenant, captain or perhaps a major. Anything above that rank would be largely administrative. If boats are going to be heavily involved it might be better to have him as ex SBS (an ex Royal Marines Officer) the ranks would be the same.
I t seems we are both cracking up. I suddenly developed a gushing nose bleed in the middle of reading this. Not something I am used to, though as an ex first aider I knew what to do.
'He noted, ruefully, it was the same spot behind the hedge Monica had unsuccessfully hidden behind, and her blanket they were laying on.' - This is a bit confusing I think it has to do with the repetition of 'behind'.

Thank you, Jim. Reading what you've put about the SAS, and I really only know what I see on the films, which isn't a lot. I've taken the SAS bit out, and will edit it out of the previous parts. I've just put Army. This story is a bit like my life, it keeps changing direction. I'm looking forward to reading what I put next!!
I've changed the part you mentioned and taken out one 'hidden' and reshaped the sentence.
I'm sorry you had such a nose bleed. I used to have them as a child. I'll make a swap ... my shingles for your nose bleed???? Thanks again, my friend. :)) Sandra xx

I wasn't worried about you using SAS what I was concerned about was your use of the nava rank, Commander, for army personnel. Sorry if I didn't make that clear.

No, that's fine. I need to know what I'm writing about, it was a foolish thing on my part. My family are all royal navy! Not that I know a great deal more about them. Lol.

Tanya is resourceful. If she can't escape at least she has a weapon. I guess her best hope is if Grant and his team can find Colin. This is a an exciting story and I'm enjoying it. I look forward to the next chapter.

Comment from Leann DS
Well done. This chapter has a lot a detail that helps to allow the reader to imagine being in that scene. I hope the next part is unique and creative, as a predictable next scene would be a bummer.
I found two errors:
She looked at her watch again. As far as she knew there hadn't been sight nor sound from Colin for at least a couple of hours, unless he'd been there while she was alseep. She must have water, but she needed the bathroom first.
("alseep" s/b "asleep")
last part of the "previous chapter "
Jeff nodded, already getting out the car. 'I'll be across the road. Nice to meet you, Maam.' With a smile, he slammed the door and hurried away.
s/b "out of the car"
Another suggestion I have is to cut up the longer dialogue with some behavioral or emotional descriptions. Just a thought to add a more clear picture.
Good job... And I hope she kicks some butt! Blessings.
