This is maddening! I love this 'Dun dun DUN' for Izard and the convenient paperwork nicely pinned on him. I see a trial may still be in the future, so that's always a neat summarization for your stories. Happy day!

Comment from BethShelby
This is another excellent chapter. I'm wonder about the not penned to Eugene. He tried to tell the grim reaper what he intended to do but he didn't say he was leaving the confession. Tony seemed to be expecting to be taken from the prison. I'm wondering if the doctore is fake of the rescue he was expecting.

Comment from Father Flaps
Hi Sally,
My last six for the week. This chapter was much shorter than usual, but it addressed a lot of issues.
Who is this Dr. Ziegler? Is he a real doctor? We quickly find out he's working for Spencer Whitehead. It surprised me that a lone psychiatrist is able to obtain the release of criminal Alfanzi by himself. I would have thought there'd be at least one or two police guards. Tony would probably rather be in control of his own life, rather than guessing how he'll fit into Spencer Whitehead's world.
It was nice to see Analiese summing her future...
"I'm doing everything in my power to make things right with Fountain Gallery. I have paid back every cent Tony stole from petty cash, with interest. I may face more fines, community service, and jail time. Then... we have the sensationalized trial in January." ... the one bright spot in her life right now is knowing that Ken Washburn loves her very much. She knows there's a future for them down the road.
You leave your readers hanging with whatever will happen to Tony. And also, that Eugene's confession was paper-clipped to his hospital gown, possibly by parties unknown. Perhaps an angelic messenger? Keep your readers in the dark, begging for the next chapter... the sign of a good writer.
"I wouldn't have believed it unless I was standing here. The stamped letter and confession are still paper clipped to his hospital gown, almost like someone did it for him. I left everything as is...."
Of course, there are other signs of a good writer... heroes and villains. You're a professional in this neighborhood.
Nicely penned! Looking forward to your next chapter, especially what is in Tony's future (or lack of it).
Hugs,
Kimbob

Comment from lyenochka
Oh, that sounds mysterious indeed! I wonder how the confession got pinned to his gown. And what is in that sealed envelope to Camille? I guess Izard had a change of heart in his last minutes of life...
I like how you keep the suspense going as we don't know who this Whitehead really is and even the villain is nervous.

Comment from WalkerMan
In this fascinating new chapter, a mysterious "Dr. Edmund Ziegler, Board Certified Psychiatrist for the state" shows up at the prison with papers supporting his transfer of Tony Alfanzi to a private institution because of his mental instability. The warden believes him and lets Ziegler take Alfanzi. The subsequent discussion in Ziegler's Volvo leaves us wondering whether he is freeing Alfanzi or taking him to justice at the hands of Spencer Whitehead, who may be more than a wealthy art collector.
My favorite part is Section Three, where we learn that Agent Ken Washburn is planning to leave the FBI and join the Lafayette Township Police Department in order to be in the area where Ana lives. I especially like his reply when she asks what he sees in her -- "I see my future...."
In Section Four, we find out that Eugene Izard left both a signed confession pinned to his hospital gown plus a sealed envelope for Camille Jean-Baptiste / Olivia Henry, surprisingly addressed to her home in River Ridge. Near the end of Chapter 24, Eugene had told his visitor that he wanted to do such things, but then died. Perhaps the Angel who had come for him accepted his repentance and fulfilled his final wishes. You have a way of showing God's love and forgiveness in your stories, even for Eugene at his demise.
Superb, and aptly illustrated.

You are most welcome, Sal. Stories that the reader can relate to real life and feelings tend to be preferred, and yours always have that aspect. :)) -- Mike

What an exciting chapter. I Hope Tony Alfanzi (sp?) gets his just desserts. As always you leave us hanging always a good sign of a great writer. Keep it coming. No spags.

Comment from Wendy G
Dr Ziegler sounds suspicious, and I sense a new twist to the plot. I don't think Alfanzi will come out of their encounter well. There will doubtless be many questions about the authenticity of Izard's signed confessions .... But I know they will get to the bottom of everything and sort out all the questions!

Comment from Robert Zimmerman
Since Izard has moved on To his eternal spot it looks like Tony is getting a visitor they might not be exactly honest with what his intentions are. I found it amusing that Marie Osmond's voice was reverberating down the prison hallway. She's been very vocal ever since she lost her 50 pounds.
I wonder if Tony really believes he's going to counseling with the shrink? I kinda doubt it.

Comment from Liz O'Neill
This doesn't sound good. It is clearly a premeditation: "Once he acquires Calla Lillies, I will lose my leverage. And then will place of power shift. Now the reader is drawn in. vVery catching alliteration: "cozied up in a stratolounger, balancing a plate of sugared pie on his paunch." I like how the perspective which influences the reader keeps changing: "He was beginning to think this wasn't the plan, or perhaps it was the plan for his ultimate demise. Either way, he needed a smoke to calm his nerves." A new player for the Lafayette Township PD. We'll see how this character develops. I like how you layer your characters in your stories.
This has a nice irony: "The stamped letter and confession are still paper clipped to his hospital gown, almost like someone did it for him." Great work. No 4's here.
