Bravo! You did say that you enjoyed writing the emotional stuff, and you handled this scene as a true professional. It's an utter tease to the reader, but a torment to Garth, who is loath to tell the woman who has obviously become the love of his life, that her sister has most likely been murdered.

I found a single error:

What did Ortez tell you?"
-->
What did Ortiz tell you?"

***

Allie's reaction is predictably distraught, but she's holding onto a shred of hope, and we as the readers are rooting for her.

    Thanks so much for the review and for enjoying my story. I hope it continues to draw your interest. It's tough to be able to read, review, answer, and write...but I am trying to do my best. Thank you for understanding.

    Hugs, Carol

and I still have another one to read! That was the hardest part for Garth, I can't imagine having to tell someone something as awful as that. You wrote it really well, Carol, I kept wanting to tell Alie to shut up, and let Garth tell her, and I wanted to shout at Garth for messing around and not coming to the point! What a chapter! Well done again, my friend. Love and hugs. Sandra xxx

A very good chapter. The readers can understand Garth's evasiveness. Allie isn't an FBI agent, and Garth really shouldn't be telling a journalist the confidential stuff her does. It makes you wonder if his love affair will come back and bite him.

Good work.

    Wow... Thanks so much, lance. I wonder since she was undercover I the prison and helped on other things, if in this new story I should somehow update her status with the FBI, though I don't know what that would be. I do believe the love affair might interfere in his usual quick, direct thinking regarding the job.

    Hugs, Carol

Somehow I missed the first couple of chapters of your story so I went back and read them. This is riveting and so well written. I got chills as I read the last few paragraphs. I'm going to keep up with the rest of the chapters. Well done.

Allie felt (the butterflies fluttering around inside her stomach.) (butterflies in her stomach.) That is all you need, in my opinion. It still explains how she felt. Thank you for sharing and another great chapter. Hope you are well?

Carol,

Wow. Not an easy bit of information to share and he knew how it would be received. That's going to start a whole new direction. Will she be able to know it's not her sister? Very curious....

You did not disappoint. This chapter fully explored the struggle to both give and receive heart-wrenching news. Allie--being her naturally inquisitive self could not have expected Garth would have such a thing to share! Garth, realizing his growing affection for her would have struggled to quell her playfulness and barrage of questions and calm her before he presented what he knows-- The reader knows it's not Jaz. Poor Garth and Allie have yet to discover that! I like the pace of this chapter... It allows us to dwell in the moment. I'm ready for more!

Never a dull moments in Carol land. Stretching the bounds of our imaginations pass where we've ever thought they might go. All I need is some hot, buttery popcorn. Thanks for sharing. :-)

A good write! I like the way you showed the emotions between Garth and Allie. She just kept badgering Garth to tell her what he knew, and he was struggling so much to have to give her the bad news. Very realistic. Blessings. Carol

Allie appears to be facing a very tough situation. I'm not sure how GArth going to share the information and will he blow his top? Many ifs nad buts.
A bit premature to guess. Overall, the chapter is interesting.
