: Hi! I'm back (alive but so dark-skinned that I have trouble finding myself in the dark).

That's good, wouldn't want to loose such a creative writer. =)


: According to what one gets to read in the newspapers, and hears from the radio, a lot of people actually do shoot both the wife's lover and the wife herself. His having been willing to shoot his wife, was acutally Michealson's view of the story... he was the one relating it, so he really doesn't know what Goodsport would have actually done, if he had found them still alive (Mike doesn't really know Goodsport THAT well, unlike Bill did, who was not only his partner but also his best friend).
: They, BIll & Dorothy were both dead already (and I have hinted at them being murdered by someone else than expected but that is up to the next authors to pick-up, if they figure out just WHO I was hinting at).
: Goodsport could put in his chapter a paragraph were he thinks the same scene over, but in another version... HIS version, like he was grief stricken then, couldn't believe what had happened... found some clues that pointed at another sort of murder (not the burglars) but someone who had set the whole scene up... yet he didn't give out these things & chose to make the others believe something else.

Ok, you're right. I didn't think of it that way... very good!


: Three people! Really? I read and read your chapter before writing mine, and I honestly thought that there were only 2! Then now as you mention it... there was one person in the backseat, a driver and later on someone in the passengerseat ( It hought the person in the backseat had moved over to the front seat). Uh... kindly clarify me... what happened to each and one of them? If one of them is still alive and conscious (the latter being rather unlikely after that car crash), I would need to rewrite that part entirely. SO pls... uh, let me know about that. I am sure I am not the only one who is confused about this.

Check this excerpt, it is where the three people are mentioned:
"As he neared the car, he brought the semi-automatic pistol up to eye level and slowly circled the car, watching for any danger. Finding none, he moved in quickly and relieved the driver - who was still breathing but had several holes in his chest, and a nasty gash on his forehead - of his pistol. Throwing it on the road he ran around the back of the car, leaned in the rear passenger side window and grabbed the Thompson from the hands of the dead would-be shooter. Grabbing the gun from the man sitting in the passenger seat, who also appeared to be dead, he threw it and the Tommy gun onto the ground near the driver's gun."

Thank you for this reaction!
You're welcome

: Was my grammar really that bad?

No, I was just making an observation for the sake of all authors. I don't think there has been a chapter thus far that hasn't needed some revising/re-writting (including mine), both gramaticaly and other stuff.
