AWESOME! A slam-bang conclusion; just the way I like a hard-boiled mystery to end. And, while I'm not surprised that Jayne got away, I have to wonder about Angel's disappearance.
I mean; I'd like to think that she was further shrunken, to micro size, by Leila's re-enlargement. What FULL METAL ALCHEMIST calls "equivalent exchange." But, in the immortal words of jazz legend "Fats" Waller:
"One never knows. Do one?"

I don't what caused the backfire, either. But, if O.H. doesn't complain, I won't either.

As Norm Crosby might say: "The fit is about to hit the shan!"

(Referencing previous review)
Ah! That's why.

Why am I suddenly thinking about frying pans and fires? ;-D

THat was great! I really appriciate your haste to get the story finished, that the scale isn't that much of a problem. I also like bad people to get their comuppance, and this story does that very well. Good job sir. If it's any consilation, you get my seal of approval.

Author's Response: :D Thanks. It's not quite over yet. But it's a good spot to take a break.

Good story.

To answer your question, I don't know. I think she really means it, but if cornered, she will probably act like she says Nicole will do in this situaltion. But, to be honest, I don't think she has a choice. She can't go back, and that's that. So it isn't logical... but niether are people. So I don't think so, but I won't be suprised otherwise
I like where this story is going. A gold star for you.
Tighten up the scale and I hope to see you work soon.

Author's Response: She's definitely caught between a rock and hard place. The question is whether or not she'll be willing to risk her life for absolute freedom or sell out our protagonist (again) for survival (would that even work?). To be honest, I haven't decided yet. I need to think about her character some more and hopefully let *her* make the call. She is the title character, after all.

*Reviewer does imitation of "Arnold Horshack" from WELCOME BACK, KOTTER...including frantic waving of upraised right arm.*

Sounds like Angel's groups always have to have a ruling triumvirate. Like the Witches in MACBETH, and certain goddesses in pre-Greek mythology.
Ah, well1 Off to the last chapter pro tem.

Very Good story. I enjoyed it immensly and hope that you update it as fast as you have. One thing, though. Are you sure on your scale? I think two inches may be too large for you size comparisons, but mabye not. All in all, one of the storyies that I acually want to read more of. Bood job, sir!
Author's Response: A good point about the scale, I'm not sure, really. This is my first attempt at a GTS story, so I wouldn't be surprised if I make some scaling mistakes. I'll take another look, but I am also very open to suggestion. Thanks for reading.

One word: ewwwwwwww!
Author's Response: LOL! Yes, "Angel" is definitely the one to avoid. That may be the apex of the graphic chapters... maybe.

Hmmm! Will he try to blackmail Jayne? Or, directly fink to Angel? Obviously, I have to go to chapter ten and find out!*
*See? I told you I couldn't wait!

Oh, yeah! I _definitely_ want to see a chapter 6. Because, there is no denying that you are doing a great job, here.
In fact, your story is better than the one I used to have here, called "Mystery of the Black Diamond."

It's a pretty safe bet that he's going to press "yes." On to chapter 5!

What the Private Eye said.
Btw; are these girls wearing regular form-fiting jeans, or shorts? Just pruriently interested.
Author's Response: I like to leave the details to you ;)

This is getting good. On to chapter 3!

Heh! Whatever happens to Hotshot and his friends? They're probably gonna deserve it. Nice opener!
