It makes sense to try to determine where the plot might lead.<BR/><BR/>Hale, thanks for considering our questions/comments.<BR/><BR/>Now, where is Fred's comment? tehee.Jack K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10619303846748379807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10293045.post-74896442430121458832008-12-22T18:56:00.000-08:002008-12-22T18:56:00.000-08:00Sandee,I enjoy the exchanges via the comments on t...Sandee,<BR/><BR/>I enjoy the exchanges via the comments on these stories. <BR/><BR/>Some people don't like to read serialized stories because it requires a commitment to come back to keep up with the story. <BR/><BR/>But you and Jack and Fred are faithful in following the tale. I appreciate that. Also your comments sometimes give me ideas for alternative elements to apply or to avoid adding to the story. (i.e., Whether Susan is trustworthy and is safe house really safe?)<BR/><BR/>In a way, commentors might be considered co-writers.Hale McKayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02548008024457474809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10293045.post-27518596492932026272008-12-22T18:49:00.000-08:002008-12-22T18:49:00.000-08:00Jack, The story did start off a little slow, thus ...Jack, <BR/><BR/>The story did start off a little slow, thus the prologue to help set the mood, but the story's pace is picking up now.<BR/><BR/>Ben is a wannabe comedian (like myself?) so a few puns and wisecracks will show up here and there. The humor is a defense mechanism for when he feels threatened or is under stress.<BR/><BR/><I>Is Susan trustworthy?</I> I'll put it this was: "are any of the principals trustworthy?"Hale McKayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02548008024457474809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10293045.post-4708613466990540852008-12-22T16:20:00.000-08:002008-12-22T16:20:00.000-08:00I've been gone all day.

You don't really think the government would kill innocent people? Do you?"</I> <BR/><BR/>Yes, they do kill people. Just had to throw that in.<BR/><BR/>Finally we got to the sex, but the more interesting thing is the reading of minds. Awesome.<BR/><BR/>Can't wait for the next installment. Why do I get the feeling that the safe house might not be as safe as it should be.<BR/><BR/>Have a terrific evening. :)Sandeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06785788498697004273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10293045.post-50935292573276684402008-12-22T08:27:00.000-08:002008-12-22T08:27:00.000-08:00The plot does thicken indeed.
