Fabulous concluding line as always, my friend - you leave your reader pleading for more!
Please, Jana, don't allow that pig to hurt you, again...
This chapter is a nice come-back-to-earth after the super-charged read that the previous one was.
That Oirishman sounds like a yummy diversion ...:)
You go, girl!
Hugs,

Sonali :)
man would come out from behind the bar and get friendly(,) when he spotted Jana coming in the door

Thanks, Sonali, for the awesome review. Jana's is a smart gal and determined to remain intact, but love has a way of sneaking back in. I really appreciate your great insights and spaggie alert. Love ya, Bev
Comment from judiverse
This is great. You have some intriguing background about Jana and her relationship with Dresden when she was with the FBI. The guy must have really done a job on her to send her to a psychiatrist. Now she has to rely on his expertise as a profiler for all the angles they're dealing with, be it some supernatural force or some totally amoral individual. This time it's strictly business, and she's not going to let him mess with her again. Interesting observation at the end of this that Dresden was seen flirting with another woman before Jana came in. judi

Judi, thank you for this in-depth review. You always take a lot of time and I appreciate that very much. I like Jana. Can you tell? And, though her head says she's done with Dred, well... that'a another chapter LOL. Thanks again gracious lady! :0) Bev

You're so welcome. Jana is a great character. She's learned from her past experience with Dred, and probably has learned not to go there again. Besides, other guys are definitely interested in her. judi

Great summation. Thanks, Judi xxx Bev

Comment from Curtis Hatch
Bev,
The chapter is interesting and compelling. The story has action, suspense, and mystery, making it a pleasure to read. The narrative is outstanding, and the dialogue is excellent. The characters are convincing and realistic. It is a good read that leaves me wondering what Jana's motive is.

Comment from Patrick G Cox
Hi Writingfundimension,
Jana is certainly sticking her neck out meeting this FBI tough guy, no matter what the stakes here. You describe her feelings about it well, and clearly the Bar owner feels an attraction. Funny that she spotted the murderers car in the parking lot - perhaps as well she made no attempt to deal with it, but she may come to regret that I suspect.
One correction for you -
on the Tast Force. - Task Force

Yes, Jana tends to lead with her heart. You've actually given me a potential plot line, Patrick. I wasn't thinking the car was the killer's. But I may have to re-think that. If so, you deserve the credit for that plot twist. Thanks so much for the great review. Warmest regards, Bev
Comment from Joy Graham
Nice chapter. I love your writing and descriptions. You have a lot of talent, lady :) the story gets more interesting with every chapter you write. You have me on the edge of my seat wanting to know more. If this were in paperback form id be peeking at the ending. Lol!

Comment from Sloegin
Good chapter, it moved along at a good pace. Not enough conflict though. Your dialogue flows smooth and you verbiage is good, not forced nor stilted. A couple of things jumped out at me: Don't use "was" in front of words ending in :ing" It denotes passive voice and you want active voice in yur writing.
"I'm on my way to my favorite local restaurant." Would you really talk like this to someone? HOw about: I'm on my way to Banger's. Want to join me?"
a markable old lady (4th paragraph) I don't think "markable" is a word.
I like the way you keep tossing in Indian word and phrases. Clever and attention getting.
Keep writing.

Bravo. You make me wounder how many parts there are. Knowing Jana mood, I would be surprise if she wasn't wearing Dred's scalp on her waist belt when she leaves. Good job.

Comment from Dean Kuch
So, Jana is going to discuss the case with Dresden over drinks and perhaps dinner. Why do I have this feeling in my gut that she's not just going to discuss the case?
Banger's Pub sounds like my kind of place, I love places like that. Unfortunately for Donal, the usually pleasant scenery inside of Bangers got a little more bleak as he observed Jana walking in with Dresden. I liked the description of the two men exchanging predatory glances at one another near the end of the story. That was a nice touch. Like two wolves, fighting for the wiles and affections of the Alpha female in their pack...
Nicely done, Writingfundimension.

Comment from Green Lake Girl
I thought it was about time to hear about Jana and Dred again. I really like these two characters. You do a remarkable job with character development. I appreciate the bits of their background you weave into this chapter. Your descriptions are top notch, as always. The last paragraph is super. "Flipping on a smile . . . " A true bad boy, but clearly hard to resist.
A fabulous story, Bev. Hurry up and write the next chapter!!

Last year we closed a cold case due to the visions of a markable old lady from North Carolina. She was as thrilled as we were to get a serial rapist." Did you mean REMARKABLE?
