Tucker - Closing Point (Part-7)
Tucker takes charge, thanks to Farnsworth.30 total reviews
Comment from Shirley McLain
All I can say my friend is WOW! What a heart thumping chapter. I am glad Tucker didn't take Farnsworth up on his jump offer. You did a great job as always. Just a bit of trivia you really won't care about. I once went deep sea fishing off the big island of Hawaii with Mr. Farnsworth and caught a 138# Yellow Fin Tuna. Have a great Sunday. Shirley

Thank you so much, Shirley, for your extra special six-star review and kind words. If it weren't for you talented writers who keep this old hack scratching, I would have given up writing a long time ago. LOL. I do care about your trivia, and now that you've started it, you have to tell me more! Please tell me all about your deep sea adventure and catching the huge Yellowfin Tuna, and of course, about the real Mr. Farnsworth. LOL. I so enjoy reading your stories, and your reviews. I appreciate YOU!
Comment from Sandra Stoner-Mitchell
It had better be 'for now!!' My heart rate is pumping way out of control! I hope Farnsworth made it, and Tammy, she's on her way back... You can't write 'The End' yet!! I won't allow it! This was such an exciting chapter, Ric. Now please tell me you are writing more. Well done, now I have to go and lie down for a while, get my heart rate under control!! :)) Love and hugs, my friend.

Thank you so much, Sandra, for your extra special six-star review and kind words. There is nothing that excites me more than for you, one of the kindest and most talented writers I get the pleasure of reading and communicating with regularly, stopping by with nice things to say. LOL. And of course, as you already know, those hugs and your smiling face that glows from all the way across the Atlantic. Hugs back at ya, my friend! Ric

You know how to make my face glow! I'm blushing now!! 🥰😊xx

I'm afraid that in another life we would have kept each other with cherry cheeks. :-)
Comment from John Ciarmello
Ha! THE END, for now! I knew that was coming, my friend. You can't leave this one alone, can you? I loved it, Ric! It was action-packed, twisty, "turny"< (I plead writer's liberty with turny), and totally unpredictable. I give you a SIX for this entire package of excellent writing. Best, JohnC

You are welcome. It was a pleasure to read, as always.
Comment from BethShelby
This is was an excellent action/adventure story that I can almost see made into a movie. I'm sure you'll have Tucker in another story. He is too good a character to just disappear. We'll likely see Tammy again as well, I enjoyed the story.

One I've come to appreciate as a writer, reviewer, and most of all as a kind and witty, person who I always look forward to communicating with in any form. I appreciate YOU!

Aw shucks! ❤️
Comment from Tom Horonzy
This has the merit of being a great adventure. Jason Bourne meets Tucker.
I can see the press release for the action thriller being released on the big screen the fourth of July. it'd be a big bang.
is Ric MYWORLD a take-off of Rock my world?
HEY, I READ THIS PREVIOUSLY. I CAN TELL BY MY NOTES.
WHAT I LIKED BEST IN THIS CHAPTER IS THE SIZE OF THE FONT. WELL DONE - AGAIN!

In all these years, you are the first person who's asked me if my name is a take-off on Rock My World. Of course it is! And thanks for finally being the one to catch it, which I would have expected. LOL. I'm just an old man who misses the excitement of the real world. Who lives life from his desk or the La-Z-Boy. Spending my days reading and reviewing those like you who entertain me and jump start my imagination. I appreciate your kind words and generous review!

Another parallel tween us save my favorite recliner is Hancock-Moore. I just traded one in for another since I wore the headrest out sitting in it seven years constantly. The only time I'm not there, is when I am writing or teeing it up.
-
LOL. I might have thought we were clones. Except, after my second broken neck, I lost 100 yards off the tee, so I gave up goof. And as for how golf got its name: Gentlemen Only Ladies Forbidden.
-
I never knew G.O.L.F. stood for that.
-
Well, learning from me isn't going to make you much smarter. But it's the truth. The Scottish gentlemen used to get together once a week for men time and that's how they came up with the game of golf and its name.

Comment from Katherine M. (k-11)
Overall I enjoyed this very much, but I felt you sidestepped full-closure. Perhaps you are leaving a foothold open for a post-end?
Silliness and inconsistency for your consideration:
To answer or not was the question? > change to 'To answer or not to answer, that is the question' (for obvious reasons but watch also Mel Brooks-to be or not to be)
You have three cuties wandering through, the hotel, drinking daquiris... and then jumping on two matching Kawasaki Ultra 310 jet skis. > does that make sense? is it necessary to specify the number of skis?

Yes, ma'am, I surely did sidestep full closure, very much intentionally. Just in case I ever want to pick the story up again and continue it. I closed it enough to let everyone know that Tucker has the evidence to clear himself and his friends and, get the real bad people convicted. Personally, what is the big difference between, "To answer or not was the question?" and To answer or not to answer, that is the question?" beside a few extra words? The question was to answer the door or not, which seems to me to be covered, said either way. But since Mel Brooks and his wife Anne Bancroft were once good friends, I'll change it to your's and Mel's way of saying it. Whether I see the difference or not. LOL. As for the cuties and the jet skis, the cuties weren't wandering through the hotel drinking daiquiris. They walked through the lobby - went outside, along and past the lazy river - out to the cabana bar, where they ordered the daiquiris - and then, down the steps to the beach and the awaiting skis. The skis have twin seats; so, with 3-girls, and possibly more coming, one ski wouldn't have been enough. Thanks for your generous review and comments. Much appreciated!
-
The first point is to show you know your Shakespeare perfectly, and like humorous digs at him. The second is just my lack of knowledge. I thought it was one person per ski (like on snow...)
-
I will await the post-end patiently, but hopefully. Kate xx

AS Shakespeare had Hamlet say: There is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so. That's my story and I'm sticking to it. LOL.
Comment from barbara.wilkey
I am glad Tucker survived. I am also hoping him and Tammy get together and live happily ever after. This is very good. I hope you have another Tucker story ready to go. LOL
Even at such a serious time, they both laughed, as Tucker continued. "So, I'll take my chances here dodging bullets." (comma needed after 'continued')
Farnsworth stepped into the parachute's harness, pulled it up over his shoulders and snapped it into place as he said, "last chance to live Tucker." (capital 'L' needed on 'last')

Thank you so much, Barbara, for your kind words, suggestions, and generous review. I left this story wide open so that I can come back to it at some point and make it better. But it'll be a long while before I want to grab that gator around the neck. I appreciate YOU!
Comment from Pam Lonsdale
Well, aren't you current - suggesting that the bad guys are within the FBI, lol!
I won't go into the spag's, since you have mentioned that you prefer to race through and get it on paper. I will say that there are less of them this time:-)
Some of your lines are clever, especially in the midst of an action-adventure:
The exchange on boobies
"land softer than Charmin tissue on a tender bottom"
I'm so glad to see that Tuck and company are going to get away safely and deliver the bad guys to authorities. The end (for now) seems appropriate, as there are a few loose ends, notably he and Tammy. And does Farnsworth actually die? Enquiring minds want to know!
This has been a fun series. Can't wait to see what comes next.

Thank you so much, Pam, for taking time to read more of my foolishness, for your kind words, and generous review. And please, never hold back on pointing out my spag. I read right through it and only see it when others show me the error of my ways. I agree that it's not very nice to leave enquiring minds hanging, those wanting every detail, but I'm a firm believer in leaving everyone wanting. Well, until they get peeved and lose interest altogether. I appreciate you hanging in there with something unlikely to be in your comfort zone. LOL.
