From Large Target, Jo has found the kidnappers’ hideout. Now what?
I drove a few blocks and parked on a side street. I wasn't sure what to do next. Getting killed seemed like the next logical step. The lack of sleep was catching up to me. I took a deep breath and then someone tapped on the glass. I looked up and nearly hit my head on the mirror flinching backward.
A florid face with bristly white hair and a weeks' growth of beard appeared crouching outside my window.

"getting killed seemed..." Precious. Just what a fuzzy mind might think. Then the jarring wake-up by the tap on the window. Great six!

Great tension (loved her surmise about her next step) and then the jarring knock
ReplyDeleteThanks Gem and Pat, adangerous situation for an unarmed amateur sleuth!
ReplyDeleteThanks for taking the extra step to visit, Sassy, also for the heads up. I'll have to check, perhaps I have sinned against Six Sunday and been deleted!
Yes, Angela! Tension is my eternal goal in writing--seriously!
