Chpt 55. Search.
Not for ONE SECOND do I buy it. She's faking it. She's faked being a human being her whole life, she can fake contrition. Or it's the drugs. She's probably just sorry she lost her "toy."
If Tess got to really give it to...Kidnapper! Slut! Abuser! Liar! Every word hitting her like a hammer blow. I might see something in her reaction. But Tess, (best human being on earth) is too busy thinking of her brother ( and it's not his fault this time) and trying to solve the problem. Wow. Way to go. You are the real hero of this story.

@Hector. Oh I know, I just don't believe thats the direction Dugger is taking Janine ;)
Shes either faking or will fall back into old habits when she gets out of the hospital.

A remorseful Janine??? Say it isnt so! Im not buying it, nope, lol.
I think Tomspeedy has had too much sugar, I dont see Cassidy being murdered, lol. Sorry tomspeedy, just joking with you. But I dont see that leap at all.
Don't think we have seen the last of Jessica either, would have been pointless to introduce her in the first place. Unless she was mentioned earler in the story and I don't remember.
Hopefully we learn a little about Cassidy in the next chapter, find out what she is about.

Nothing wrong with fun. In the immortal words of comedian Kevin Pollack (while imitating the late, great Dudley Moore): "It's the best thing ever!" :-)

Postcript: I' have to respectfully disagree with my distinguished fellow reviewer. If, as he has stated, aggressive curiosity is a hereditary trait among the women of the Lindholm family, then Jessica's must be thoroughly piqued by this point. Twice, she's inquired as to who Tom is; and, twice, she's been deliberately (and not-so-subtly) ignored. So, if Lina is using the same private detective agency I'm presuming she used, to find out about her husband's prior paramours, then Jessica might resolve to contact them, herself. She might even lie to them; claiming she's getting an update on her mother's behalf!* And, thus, she might learn of Tom's existence (and present whereabouts) ahead of her mother and sister.
Whew! Those anti-TomSpeedyitis shots are wearing off more and more quickly.
* "She's busy checking on my father's injuries, now that my younger sister is awake and out of danger," would be a good alibi.

Now that's quite a cliffhanger. I never seen Lina this way before. It makes me realize where Janine got her evil ways now. At first I thought it was Francis, but no, Lina probably inspired her, and it makes me wonder how much of Lina we do not know.
Poor Cassidy Lane. Why does it sound like she is going to get murdered? Probably the cold look of Lina in the phone call and by her intent of gaining info of the nurse. Very similar to Janine getting info on Miss Addidion. Like mother, like daughter.
In addition, Cassidy Lane has been given the impression of being nice, probably nicer than Lina now becuase of Lina's devious antics this chapter. By making Lina more evil, Cassidy Lane just seems nicer every second that goes by.
Looks like Jessica is out of the picture for the rest of the story. I have this feeling that we won't see a reappearance of her. Also, since Francis has more injuries, he probably is out of the story as well.
I think the most interesting thing that happened was when Janine started admitting her faults, Tess thinks Janine is bluffing her remorse, and Lina goes to comfort Janine and wants Tess to stop accusing Janine. Here, we see Lina going closer to Janine's side, and I think that is Janine's plan since she herself is in no condition to get Tom. This scene right here is important becuase it shows Janine admitting her mistakes(could be acting tho) and Lina trying to take over everything.
Tess came here for her brother, that's it. Not for Janine. Now Lina is taking that responsibility instead. Tess trusts Lina, but why was Lina so assertive in declaring that she herself wanted to find Tom? Does Lina want Tom for herself or for Tess? I think Lina is hiding something.
Another funny moment was when Lina elected herself to find Tom instead of Tess. It's funny becuase we know how slow and hesitant Tess is when finding things. She is clever, but not agressive. However, the Lindholm women are clever, and agressive at getting what they want.
Very interesting chapter. I can't wait for the next one!

Whoa! The shrunken manhunt is on!! If this were an Aaron Spelling TV show, it would probably be called "Tom's Angels."
Thanks for the exciting interlude. :-)
