Dont know how I didn't see this chapter so Here is a revie albeit a bit late. This screams of foreshadowing like there will be implications on Scott with the word pernamantely. I feel he will forever be shrunken if his mom wins.I also see Maggie is still herself and will meeting the Emily Brookes change her and if so in what way. This is a great chapter. As for grammar and spelling I could find no mistakes and maybe I would describe what Scott felt when he saw Emily. But a great chapter non the less. Keep up the great work. Now to read the next chapter.
Author's Response:
There's definitely a lot at stake for Scott now. It's hard for Scott to know what to feel about Emily since he's never met her other than general foreboding, since her company has its fingers in most of the economy now as well as the whole shrinking device business. Thanks for reviewing!

"A different set of goals"... to make sure that Kyle or Maggie doesn't join him? To get N hours/week with Ella? To make sure that Ella will not shrink(no,no,no!)? Or is he going to really try and be more sincere in the discussion you were talking about?
Don't tell us of course! ;p
(I'd write that this chapter was really scary, but I guess that having to deal with the revelation will probably be worse)
Author's Response:
Hehe. There will be answers to your questions soon enough. I will say though that Judy doesn't have the authority to shrink Ella, just her own kids, but there's still plenty that Scott's mother can hold over his head.

Great chapter I'm excited to see where Judy's political career will take her. Hopefully the she wins her race and the shrink act becomes the law of the land.
Author's Response:
Thanks for reading. I'm sure Judy's hopes are similar to yours.

Jacksmith! Your stories one of the best on this site! I love Judy and Susan (Time-out 2)
And I fell in love Carly (Little Blackmail)
Author's Response: Thanks!

A major chapter ! Now i can't wait to see what reaction scott will have to his mom knowing he will not go back his original height. A logical man in his situation will act as if he has nothing to lose (which is pretty the case).And he will go wild by bashing n insulting her sadisc mom, refusing his home chores because he wont care about shrinking. However, with the future meeting with Ella, he would act differently. I wonder if it's the time where Maggie re-ajuste her attitude.
Author's Response: Fair predictions. All I'll say is that by the time Scott gets the chance to face his mother about what she's trying to do, he may have a different set of goals...

Judy is either lying to the press, or to her son, Scott.
Of course, if she lies to the press, then she is in trouble, but lying to Scott, she can probably take the consequences, if any.
That is a good point on what to do with all these prisons being filled up. Just shrink them.
I wonder if there will be any people commiting crimes on purpose just so they can shrink and enjoy the feeling of being tiny.
This story is getting deep. I like it. I cant wait for the next chapter.
Author's Response: Thanks for reviewing. There probably won't be people committing crimes just to be arrested though; people can be shrunken if they want without breaking the law.

The beginings of the oppresion, like watching the first days of a tyranical dictator or Nickelback.
Looking forward to how it turns out.
Author's Response: Not sure I would've thought to make that particular comparison, but I can dig it!

A chilling chapter indeed, but is it safe to predict that Judy's proposal won't come to light as your stories further down the timeline display more cases of temporary shrinking? Either way, the suspense is at a high, and I eagerly await what's next. Nancy having her fill, and hopefully some more intimate interactions with the new Maggie.
Author's Response:
That's a good point to bring up, since Watch Over is chronologically after the Timeout stories. Here though Judy is proposing the required reduction of all criminals. Those who want to be shrunken of their own free will can still do so, meaning it's not necessarily giving anything away. Both Nancy and Maggie will get some more face time with Scott before the story ends.

Wow. So she lied to him from the beginning. She never had any intentions of having his size returned. So now Scott is beyond shocked. He probably feels like Judy just ripped out his heart. Cannot wait to see how she explains this to him in private. I also kinda want him to make a scene so she has reason to shrink him.
But seriously everything else is just gravy. It also would work into her favor if he would act out while on the podium because that way she can demonstrate how easy it will be to control a tiny inmate. Things are looking very bad for Scott but great for us hehe.
Also hope that Judy finds out about Maggie and Scott's deal so he can meet Ella.(just because I want to see how she'll handle the situation)
Plus Nancy wants her alone time with Scott.
Hope this series continues after this story because I love the direction it's headed and the characters.
Awesome story.

Author's Response:
That's probably an accurate guess of how Scott's feeling now. They will be having a little mother-son chat in the final chapters, which almost assuredly will involve Scott being reduced in size. Thanks for reading/reviewing! The series will certainly be continuing.

Does that mean that Judy will keep scott like this forever? If thats the case, will that happen to Kyle in part 7 too?
Author's Response:
It means she wants to keep him like this, though she still doesn't technically have the power to do so. Not yet, anyway.

Wow. The hammer falls. I wonder what standards she'll propose using for this new underclass of shrinkees? Who shrinks and who stays big? What rights, if any would an unincarcerated shrinkee have? Will they be virtual slaves like Scott? Its a slippery slope that any citizen could fall under. If this the future Judy wants for her son, who's crime was really the result of poor judgement then criminal intent? I wonder if Judy knows how much of a mind fuck she's putting on Scott? I have yet to see an honest discussion between mother and son, where Scott can vent how really feels to Judy without fear of reprisal. Still reading. I guess the reason I can stick with this story, is because its not overally mean and violent, just suspenseful.
Author's Response:
Hehe. I'll stay silent on the specifics of Judy's proposal until a later until time, but she (and Techilogic) are thinking ambitiously about it. The final chapters will include a conversation between Judy and Scott about all of this. Thanks for reading!
