Sign of a good writer ~ know when to "pace" things. This is just the right place to interject a little spark and flirtation between Emmy and Hank and give the jewel heist and the (mis)adventures of a wayward Bennie time to "steep." It just makes me all the more curious as to what is about to happen next!

(With the couple and with the jewels!)

    This story has developed many twists and turns in my mind that the reader has no way of anticipating yet. I just hope I can smoothly transition my thoughts to paper.

    Love ya

    I have no doubt you'll have us all eating out of your hand...

    I really enjoyed this "change up" ~ it's a gift to know how to time these interludes...

Another well-written chapter. I'm glad to learn about the beginning of things between Hank and Emmy. It sounds like Lance never should have trusted his cousin with information about the jewels. Looking forward to the next segment. Sorry I'm behind in reviewing. Blessings.

    I am the tortoise moving forward but way too slow. Especially when your kindness is so much appreciated. Thank you for the kindness and for enjoying the story.

Great dialogue, between Bennie and his Pops and between Hank and Emmy. I'm enjoying the slow, detailed development of the story. So far, the reader can imagine some of the things that have to take place, but watching it play out is half the fun. Great episode.

Are Hank and Emmy going to develope into something. You did a great job with the intensity of this story. You also showed the stupidity of Bennie very well. I can visualize his drunk dad telling the world about the diamonds. Looking forward to more. Shirley

Wow, Bennie and Rudy sure don't know how to be discrete, do they, Carol? I'm sure some people were listening intently. I was glad to get back to Hank and Emmy. lol Well done.

As always, there's a little touch of about everything in this chapter. And there are more questions created than answers that keep me coming back, begging for me. LOL. Thanks for sharing.

Hello Begin Again a good day to you, I hope this finds you well. Your story is well written, I especially enjoy the banter between the characters in both scenes. It will be interesting Rudy can keep his mouth shut and if the cops become a couple. Nice job!

This is another excellent chapter. I must say when you get back to writing you jump in full force.I just knew Bennie could not keep his mouth shut after all the drinking he did. I do not see any room for improvement.

Oh no! Bennie and Rudy and Sandy now all have added more danger to Lance. It's nice to get away and return to Hank and Emmy getting to know each other.

A pity Bennie told his father - especially as the two of them were both loud with liquor. The secret will not be a secret for more than one minute! Sounds like hank and Emmy are off to a good start, but ... what will the twists be? Nothing goes smoothly! Well written.
