He was sure he could get the judge to see his side of the story. If not --" He shook his head. "He'll be the one jumping through hoops, not me.

I can't believe how detailed this story is. I don't remember Poppa, but I surely remember Tango, who was always a phenomenal back up to Garth. All of the characters intertwine. I'm thinking of the Judge. You have made the experience of reading this novel a lot of fun. I just sit back, read, and ride on your roller coaster.

    thanks so much Lorraine. Tango was always top dog over Poppa. Poppa is usually just a back up. Thank youso much for your kind words and support.

I hope they will keep something closer than a phone if I'm needing backup. Now I'm trying to stop adding those silly LOLs, like laughing at my own comments. :-) Thanks for sharing.

Slick, believable dialogue and some fast-paced action. That judge sounds like a crock full of s...
I like the way you show both sides of addiction (just lost souls needing guidance, etc) Are you following Jim Wile's story? It's good.

    Thanks for your kind comments and for reading my story. I do so appreciate it. I know it takes up a lot of valuable time.

    I've not seen Jim's story. Thanks for the tip and I will try my best to check it out.

This is a really good chapter to the book. Eleanor doesn't have much luck with straightening out Trevor. Woodman's assistants find out that the judge is seeing Eleanor's sister. And someone gave the judge a painting. One of Eleanor's? Very complex plot to make a great story.

    Lots of twists and turns...even I wonder sometimes why I do this to myself. But it's fun and makes a story much more interesting I think. Thanks for the comments.

Clever work done here. They talk too much and assume noone else can hear. A pity Trevor has not paid any attention to Eleanor; he would have done better to listen to her - but it sounds like he has some dirt on the judge. Another super chapter. I am enjoying this one a lot.

Trevor seems to be blinded by his addiction. Even a ghost couldn't snap him out of it. I'm guessing the crooked judge is the one that will sentence Trevor so I wonder what plan that Trevor has.
Hooray for Tango getting that critical information!

    Trevor, in his mixed up brain, believes he can blackmail the judge and get off scot free... His plan may get him out of jail, but the consequences might me more than he's prepare to face.

This is another excellent chapter. Your story is full of action with enough dialogue to carry the story forward in a well-paced manner. Keep writing, and I will keep reading.

So the Judge is involved in the stolen art work. Ther are replacing it with counterfit. The Eleanot scared her nephew but he'll talk himself into believing he was just seeing things.

    For now, Trevor thinks he's entitled and the drugs give him a sense of importance...but when they are gone... I guess we wait and see.

I think one has to feel sorry for Trevor, he seems to be in a pickle he's not really going to solve as he thinks he is, but then desperate people...how interesting that Eleanor turned up in his cell, but she's still compassionate and humam well done, blessings Roy

    Yes, Trevor was a spoiled over-priviledge young man and still believes he can manipulate others for what he wants. He's about to learn that life has consequences.
