Yikes. The change in format threw me off. Is it the Advanced Editor shaking things up or are you intentionally changing? I rather like the traditional chapter style used up until now.

Typical goons, huh? Pay enough and show enough "subtle" force whilst crooning of friendship and the world will lay at your feet.

Sandy's, unfortunately caught in the middle here. I wonder how MUCH she will reveal?

    I have no idea what happens when I try posting ...whether its the editor, my new laptop or the "mindless old lady" behind the scenes. LOL

Hi Carol, will Sandy talk? I believe she will. I'm not sure I wouldn't if I were in the same position, but of course you never know. The adrenaline might just kick in. Great story this is. A hug, Ulla:)))

This is another excellent chapter. Your words between Sandy and Peter created tension between Sally and Peter. I cannot wait for the next chapter. I do not see any way to improve this chapter.

No, I wouldn't believe him, either! What? Such a sweet gentleman! So, will Sandy talk, or get thumped? I'm afraid, I'd talk, I'm a bit of a coward. I don't do pain very well! I'd take the money and run. This is another wonderful, well written chapter, Carol, and I'm not sure, but I think I have another chapter to read! How do you do that? It takes me all week to write one chapter. Love and hugs, my dear friend, :)) Sandra xxx

    I've had a few close brushes with his type thanks to my children's father and now Matt has a questionable person investing in his latest film. My skin crawls when I let my mind wonder if he's safe. I don't know if this guy is all hype or if it's true. Scary!!

Another great chapter that I enjoyed reading. It is full of tension and kept me reading to the last word. You did a wonderful job as usual. Didn't see one error to tell you about. Shirley

Poor Sandy she knows his father killed people, and the towering figure of Bruiser, isn't much help to that either. The fact that Rudy was beaten so badly, who's Bennie's dad, somehow Costello knows the diamonds are around somewhere, beautifully written Carol, blessings Roy

    I think Sandy has experience a tough life but she still fears the power Peter Costello can wield especially when he wants something like the diamonds.

    Hugs, Carol

Oh no! Poor Sandy! But she really didn't know about the diamonds. She can only say that she saw the ring that Bennie was wearing. I hope she stays safe. Will Peter and Bruiser believe that she doesn't know? Scary stuff!

    Yes, Sandy, though born in a tough area and street-wise. that life has not given her the knowledge to deal with the evil gangsters. Peter enjoys the power his life gives him, but he also likes his charming ways.

    Hugs, Carol

Oh, my. Things don't sound very good for Sandy at the moment. It's too bad she didn't call the police when she went to the kitchen for the coffee. Are you missing something in the paragraph beginning 'Bruiser's immense figure caught her off guard...'? Or maybe delete the 'So' from the following sentence. Good story with many characters. I'm glad you have the list of characters. Blessings.

    Glad you are enjoying the story. There are a few undercurrents to be added soon which will add more depth to the story. Hope you enjoy.

This is all the more disconcerting because he is pretending to be friendly while being menacing and threatening. She has a sense of integrity but fear will undoubtedly cause her to reveal what she doesn't want to. Hopefully she can lead him off the track and give some false scent to follow. Looking forward to more! Very well written!

    Peter Costello is the charmer. He doesn't really want to be like his father, but it's the life he was handed and he enjoys the power. Sandy knows she is walking a thin line with him.
