Taking Chances, by E. L. Van Hine and L.H. Nicoll
MaineWriter:
So we have a cliffhanger ending, Louise says she is in the chat but the banner is gone so we cant't get into the chat...sort of like the back door being forced. Where is Louise? Where is Ennis? Where is the first chapter of the next book?
Yikes!

When will you have the first chapter posted up in livejournal??
AS I may never find any such link trying to wade throught the 'chat audition' whatever whereever.
I supposedly got into the fanfiction room, but never found any link or any idea of how to go about finding it??? I can chat, but don't see any "pages" and NO LINKS to anything--so exacty where are we supposed to be able to find that link to the first chapter-----and again---WHEN do you put it up in Livejournal so I can read it????
notBastet:
It's after midnight in Germany and close to 2am if I remember correctly, so I don't think they'll be any more chapters posted until tomorrow.
The thread is awfully quiet tonight... everyone must be fraught with worry about Ennis.
Well, I blabbity-blabbed my opinion all over chat today, so I'll share it here as well. Feel free to contradict with your own questions/concerns.
Warning: Spoilers to previously published chapters, and I've no inside info, so this is all conjecture...
What do we know? We know Jim and Will were killed by guns point blank. We know Will was not beaten or traumatized before death, because there were no bruises or other signs of torture on him. We know that the entry to Ellery's house was forced. There was no mention of blood (doesn't mean it's not there, but I think Wes would have said something). In my mind the bad guys are doing one of two things by taking Ennis... they are taking him to 1) kill him, or 2) lure Ellery. As they seem to kill by shooting, they could have killed him in the house. As far as we know, there are no signs of this in the house. The time frame has only been a couple of hours, so they couldn't have killed him and cleaned it up that quickly IMHO. Plus, obviously Ennis is going to have a role in Book 4, so he can't die. That leaves 2) they are taking Ennis to bait Ellery. Now, they could beat and torture him while the wait for Ellery, but I don't think they will, as long as Ennis behaves. I don't think they will beat him because they didn't beat Will. Fred reminded me that Ennis behaved in a reasonably level headed fashion when confronted by Worrell, so I think he will be levelheaded in this circumstance as well. (He has not done anything crazy or stupid of late at the bar, or in regards to the Beagle business... so we know he can control himself.) So I don't think he will struggle/fight/try to escape until he knows he can be successful. Now, of course he could still get injured in the big shootout or whatever happens when the entire police department finds him. And it is going to be the entire police department looking for him, not just Ellery. Now, perhaps I am being overly optimistic, as crime is not always logical, and all my musings are purely conjecture.
Too bad I'm not a neuron in Louise's brain right now...
(Please don't think I'm being callous, I'm as devastated and worried about Ennis as Ellery is, it calms me to try and think in logical steps, like I did above.)
