So I have some words for all of you. About a thousand people read this latest installment which is great! But I got a total of one, count 'em one review. Now I know that anyone who has an account on this site is probably a writer and writers have opinions, I know I have very strong ones. So PLEASE share them with me i am dying to hear your opinions.
Also GREAT book I just read Apart R.P. MacIntyre and Wendy MacIntyre, about a weird but very touching pen pal relationship. It is a must read!
Tony could not sleep like he might at a normal stake out , his eyes were glued to the windows of the shabby apartment across the street. The sleazy landlord had said that the man who lived there was gone one week, back the next. He had recognized Ari's picture. Tony was astounded and triumphant that the terrorist had made such a mistake.
Gibbs sat beside him stoically. Tony would have expected the older man to be determined, not stopping at anything, but instead he was withdrawn and pensive. Probably going over scenes again and again in his mind. Tony knew how that felt, he'd been doing it ever since that night. An endless montage of blood and bullets. He had never been a wuss but this all scared him. It was dark and morose, a good-bad movie, the kind that is intriguing and interesting but gives a grown man nightmares of his life going down the drain. Spending his entire life in front of jeopardy, wasting away in response to the death of his wife and children in some horrible car crash, in which he, the driver was the only survivor. It was a lot like that.
McGee was taking the morning and daytime shift, Gibbs the nighttime and Tony was on both. McGee would sometimes talk to him about Abby, or about Kate, sometimes he listened to his Mp3 sometimes he was silent. But Gibbs, Gibbs made a point not to speak to him, not to look at him. Was he mad, embarrassed? Or simply didn't want Tony to read him. Maybe he was vulnerable and this was his way of protecting himself. Tony could live with that, but part of him, part of him wanted to talk it out with Gibbs. As callous as Gibbs was, he was Tony's boss, his mentor of sorts and Tony respected him.
Suddenly the lights flicked on in the apartment. Gibbs started and said in a husky voice.
"I'll take the fire escape you take the front."
Hurriedly the two exited the apartment and tromped down the stares. At the door they went there separate ways. Tony entered the front door of the apartment building with the key the landlord had given them. I quietly stalked up the stairs pushing people into doorways as he went. He didn't think of what would come next he just thought of every next step each time his foot hit the floor he no longer thought of the step that was behind him now only of the millisecond that lay ahead. Because if he let himself think too far ahead he would loose his focus. So like that he went up the stairs. Finally he reached the door marked 07. The door was ajar. He took a deep breath and kicked open the door.
Sorry to leave ya hanging but it make for much excitement yes? I'll try to follow up as quickly as possible.
Reviews anyone?
