I don't think this page is a "twist," but my friend did. I was actually pretty surprised, because the plot has evolved without any real complications or curves. Meredith was given a clear assignment and carried it out in a very straightforward manner. (And the chapter title is also a dead giveaway.) – If this comes as a twist, that's fine too.

Please take a look on what I've been doing with character bios. I currently have 26 bios posted along with behind-the-scenes development notes – including ones for every character on this page. ~_^

Used Books made it into the top 100 at DrunkDuck again. :-) I'm pretty excited about that, but it'll drop back down soon enough.

Warpedwenger: Thanks, but there is room for improvement and a lot of stuff I'm not comfortable drawing yet.

blntmaker: Long nails and stiletto heels are the best fashion accessories for a sadist.

patoborracho & ghostrunner: -_-

Tantz: You may be right. She's not exactly a grieving widow.

DAJB: He is pretty pathetic; isn't he? XD

Peipei: That's true, but it is unlikely to survive this type of gunshot. Hollow-tip bullets are explosive and were designed to be especially fatal. They were designed for hunting, so the animal wouldn't suffer. (They are illegal for use against people – like in warfare or by law officials.)

amanda: Not a pretty picture. -_- It would serve as an epic warning but really hurt the park's PR…

Jonko: Passers-by are unlikely. Mike does have someone watching out for him – unfortunately, he's the other fellow with the gun to his head.

LanceDanger: Aw. Speechless? Here's some more fun.

patrickdevine: Most of the time, I just write off the top of my head. Usually the first script flows naturally and says what I want, but that page didn't feel right. (Plus, my original plans for the plot changed, so I needed clear resolution on the Mina thing.) Rewrites are needed from time to time.

ttyler: Thanks.

JustNoPoint: Meredith's lines are fun to write. ^_^ The handcuffing and showing Mike the bullet was the scene I designed the entire chapter around. I researched ballistics for this chapter, too. (Only the best for Meredith.)
