Sorry about that, I couldn't control myself.
Great chapter Hikaru, you've ratcheted up the anticipation for the next one quite well as usual

Yep yep. It wasn't something I'd planned on. With Yin's IC, I used that as a mechanism to allow Yin to run off on big adventures while effectively having her just step "out of frame" for a short while back in the SJ.

However, it did give me a TRULY evil idea (actually several) of which one is already in motion.

Cheers

Something tells me there is a shit load of trouble heading in Sheila's direction. I have an idea or two on what some of it will be.

Please... feel free to speculate. Twisted Evil

but if we do... which we most likely will, then you'll churn out some horrificly dramatic sequence that'll be far better than anything we could ever (wet)dream up!

The best thing that comes from such speculation is you never know what sinister thought's you'll prompt.

The best part for ME is it tells me if my clues and/or distractions are working.

Ah ha. I knew you had to be misleading us at least a little bit.

anyway time to speculate.

As I recal Luci only gave Sheila nine months of memories. This leaves a time gap of three months, and I don't believe that the authoraties will believe she was unconcious for the whole memory lapse. So she will probably have to claim some sort of amnesia to get by with it. (This could have changed as I haven't checked the end of act III chpater 50 yet.)

Also she has only been pregnant for about nine months and is about to pop. This would lead the police and FBI to believe that the kits are probably by the mob bosses that ordered the kidnapping. How is she going to convince anyone that the kits are by Arden, as most likely Arden would have been long and dead by the time she would have gotten pregnant or would not have been in any position to impregnate her.

You got a point there, HH. How can Sheila claim that the kits are from Arden and her if she was kidnapped for more than a year? Maybe she won't say anything, but that surely will cause problems with Arden if he comes back. A whole "You dun love me" thing, possibly.

What about Sabrina? If Arden tells her that she is going to die, she probably won't, but, who can tell if she is going to die in another way? How will affect this to Arden?

This is going to be very interesting.

Awesome start to a new Act, Hikaru. I can't come up with anything that hasn't already been said... I want to just wait and see how it unfolds. Also if you're interested I'd be happy to offer my proofreading services. In addition to the obvious benefit of being able to read the chapters before everybody else, I'm kind of a spelling nut anyway and I might be able to catch some stuff you miss. Imagine my shock and surprise when Mike Regan caught some spelling errors in one of my stories, heh. But I guess it's different when you're writing it, and I'd be happy to help if you want it.

Otherwise, I'm content to be an avid reader as I always have been. A very good start. And Sheila actually had a contraction on the boat when they were at Eden... she's gonna pop not in a matter of days, but a matter of hours. Smile

My question now is - at what point in Zig and Sheila's timeline will Arden return? Now, as the trial is about to be ended? Or perhaps later, after Sheila gives birth? Hmm... Smile

Hmm...

I can see the obvious logical one year/nine month pregy thing - but at least look at it from 'their' point of view...

The authorities cant tell of sheila got knocked up the day before she kidnapped or three months after - and she might just say that she first got kidnapped three months after she disapiered! (ok, that last one might not make much sense, but it could happen)

Also, I'd love to see a scene were khansman has sent a hitman or two after sheila to prevent her from saving Zig Zag - and then Arden comes in, magic n all, saving the day.

That would be oh so very sweet.

After all is said and done someone is going to be gunning for Sheila as she would have incriminated them or someone close to them #2gunfire

. But they may have a stroke of rational thought and not do anything.

Tigger definately doesn't like Kahnsman. She was out to see him dead or to see him get caught in his scheme and get put behind bars. So I believe we will see The Return Of The Tigger. Very Happy
