Well Damn. I felt all along that things werent as they seemed and that bret was messing with us really bad. I never for one second thought it would be this bad. Never seen this coming or even had a clue.
Nice job bret and another Great Story.

Wow, what an unexpected ending twist. Great story.
But I am NOT going to get myself shot to find a woman.

I expected Tammy was undercover but I also thought he'd get with Katie.

That didn't even go the way I thought it would, it was way better. As usual another fine story comes to a end, as they all do. I'll be expecting a new one now, just so ya know. LOL

I liked it, but I would have liked to find out what happened to the bad guys though. Great story.

Bret- thanks for throwin' that knuckleball at the end, there was no way I saw things workin' out this way. Greatly appreciate all the work you put into these stories, and I know I'm not the only one. You've earned yourself a vacation from entertainin' us, so please feel free to take a couple of days off before startin' another one. Your friend, 9idrr.

So y'all understand bret's middle name is "Kliff" and his nickname is "Twist & Turn".
Been out of circuit since the first of September working on two projects. Have both finished, but the second project will take more work once a final decision is made in which direction we will go, but will probably involve attorneys for both sides.
bret,
kev forgot that when someone threatens your life, react with malice.
Another outstanding story.
The Randals are ground up meat for shotguns will do that to a body.
Thanks for the years of reading pleasure.
Texican....

Bret- thanks for throwin' that knuckleball at the end... Hell, the whole STORY was a knuckleball! From his own admission, he had no idea where it was going to lead. Masterful job, Bret, of making it something the Niekro brothers would've been proud of A literary game of pop-the-whip! Thanks for the story!

I wasn't expecting this ending either, but I'm glad it ended like it did.

Bret,
Thanks for another entertaining read. Honestly, more twists and turns than I could have predicted, but as usual, you wrapped it up very nicely.
Well done my friend.

A great read. And a real crazy ending. Back in 78 when I looked at going Navy instead of Army. The option for law enforcement was'nt open to first time enlistees.

After 50+ years, I can say that's one thing I got right the first time. Probably helps that both of us had multiple good examples in our families... I know what you mean Papa I got maried in 1970 and has just know got me trained they way she wants
