Lady Gayle,
For your information.
Throughout, you have the guide taking the arm or the elbow of the blind person's arm.
The preferred method is to permit the blind person to find the guide's elbow, either side, and use that as a reference to position. The guide has to alert this individual to the condition of the pavement and any obstructions, of course.
It is definitely not the normal course for the guide to take the blind person's arm.
For your information, GM's OnStar is only available, factory installed, on GM vehicles. Rudy would have had to contact another agency to have the service you described.
This posting is taking on a sharper edge, with a cowardly act of aggression.
So now we have them staked out and acting as bait?
Nicely done,
Fantasist

Hey Wayne! Man! I changed that to OnGuard! I wanted to use the same one I did with Bob in Riding High!
I will pay closer attention to the arms. Mostly, I think Rudy's doing that more like holding hands, a gesture like that, rather than actually guiding, but you're right. I'll make that clear.
Thanks for the ideas, my friend. You keep me on the straight and narrow.
Hugs,
Gayle
Comment from RenieReader
Good grief, I wouldn't feel safe anywhere with that nut job after me. You've created a real maniac, Gayle. Great job and believable. Shudder.
He put the car in gear and drove around the block to [his garage entrance.] the entrance to his garage.

This is a very interesting chapter that shows the depth of Rudy's courage. It is very well written with good imagery and descriptive scheme.

I'm having fun, too, Jaye. It's such a blast meeting new people. I've been gone just long enough that there's a ton of folks here I don't know. Like coming home. Anyway, thanks for the great review.

Hey shelley, read over your first two sentences. You just said something there ... without realizing it. No one's spotted it yet, and that's as I hoped it would be. Can't wait to see who's first!
Thanks for the great review!
Hugs,

Comment from ZigzagMLT
Very well done, well composed.
Here are some things I picked up while reading, and some comments along the way.
...want to. There were times when it ...
love the image of mist like a wet blanket!
threw off the covers
than the one he was in...
Perhaps set up that he had put the timer on the coffee - it seemed like a surprise earlier on.
great intro of the guy below... makes me questions... and now I am waiting for answers...
In the end I am not sure why they have not called the police and had the calls traced... a bit odd, but I can live with it.
Thanks for another great chapter!

Hi Zig
Definitely right on about the timer for the coffee. Good one, will implement.
I can certainly go back and explain about why they didn't call the cops. Or, I can have a cop come to the condo regarding the vandalism to his car. What do you think?
Gayle

I think involving the cops would be a good idea. It's realistic. Otherwise someone might wonder why they didn't. And stories are educational too, we learn the rules through watching how others handle situations. It might not be a bad idea to remind readers about why she doesn't call the cops about the phone calls... perhaps Rudy might well ask her or suggest that she does? Good luck with incorporating things. Z

Gayle does happy dance all over the office. Pat, you're making me smile all over my face! Thank you so much, not just for the stars but for the wonderful comments.

That particular one was stunning, compulsive, couldn't put it down etc.etc.etc. ... SO BORING WHEN YOU SAY IT LIKE THAT! Much nicer to tell the truth... but differently, eh? Pat.
Comment from joelh605
Interesting - is the parking lot where he can see it from his place? Else how did he ID Rudy's car?
Keep it going, Gayle - the pages turn!

They entered the condo and by habit, she reset the alarm.
Needs a comma before "by" - you can save the one after "habit" if you move those two words to the end of the sentence - only alternative I can think of at the moment.
just drive away. Don't come back again or I'll kill you."
Rudy clenched his fists and something that might pass for a smile quirked his lips. Otherwise, he showed no emotion as the voice baited him.
Just me, but I was waiting for the guy to hang up - and evidently he's still on the line?

Rutro! The car. How would he know...oy veh. Well, I sure can fix that, no problem.
Also let me check to see if he didn't hang up for a reason.
Thanks for the great review, Joel. You've got the eyes of an eagle! Glad I get to benefit!
Hugs,
Gayle
Comment from Readywriter52
I agree with Rudy assessment. Nathan is crazy. It must be very frustrating to him when Rudy didn't react the way he thought he would. I think Rudy will push Nathan over the edge and he will do something stupid.

I think you just might be right about Nathan. Definitely a yo-yo, that's for sure.
