New Greenlea Tale: The Rookie

[frantic65]

Spoilers Chapter 50

There ya go! Let the professionals get on with professing & soon everybody will be feeling better & wanting some of Edna's good cookin'.

Again, a reminder of just how many levels you give us when you develop these characters. Wes losing his appetite cause he feels guilty about the way he had to slap Ellery down & with everyone reacting differently than he expected them to he's triple guessing his decisions.

 I'm glad Mel was brought up to speed & gave Wes his perspective on where the communication breakdowns have been occurring between the Sheriff's ofc & his ofc. This really didn't happen overnight, but I think things are back on track (at least for now)

Edna will be so happy that she will be having company for dinner. She'll be baking her butt off!!

And don't think I missed that little part where Wes mentions whisking Ellery away for a few weeks!! (I smell a tropical breeze heading our way!!)

Yes Marie-I think today was another one of those Greenlea take me away sort of days!! I'll add my thanks to hers, Louise!!

ETA: Oh-I envy that lucky new reader that has so much great story to read for the first time. Yes-the autopsy report was sobering. Now, I need that boy to get his proper burial because I know how anxious I feel & I can't imagine how much worse his loved ones feel without that closure.

do you think it's possible that once the funeral is over and we all take those heartfelt eulogies from Heath's dad to heart that we will be able to actually move on and ENJOY LIFE as more than a series of little respites?  I sure hope so!!!

PRessing on to tomorrow!  thanks everyone, for being such loyal readers!  The hit counts have been amazing!

and speaking of plot unfolding:

Gosh, Louise, after a gloomy day yesterday, this was a great way to start the day.

I love these little things and interactions with people that tell you so much about them. Like Edna pouring sugar into Wes's cup of coffee. I love details like that.

It's like she said 'I’m always right, Brownie'. 

Great conversation between Mel and Wes. Now, let's hope Ellery and Paula get their act together and put away Amos for a very long time.

And then it's off to Puerto Rico! Yeah!

Yeah ok I (reluctantly) agree that maybe Ellery has to learn to curb his sharp tongue just a bit, but not toooooo much. It,ll take away some of his charm. Maybe he can take his frustrations out on Colson when he gets home from work. I like the way everyone at the station is sticking up for Ellery though and showing loyalty to him. Shows they think a lot of him. God bless Ellery. 
Did someone mention Puerto Rico??? OOOOOO honeymoon, Ellery (Hugh) in tiny denim shorts!!!  *faints*
omg the visions in my head now lol.

Oh, this is a very interesting chapter!  So Jeeves has found someone from "out of town."  I'm curious about who that is - I do hope Jeeves can settle into a more permanent, fulfilling relationship.  He is a lonely man with a good heart.   Can't say I'm sorry to see the awful Jerry put in his place.

I also thought Lauren's comments about Jeremy and Nick were interesting.....he seems to be feeling a little abandoned by their departure, maybe even a little betrayed, somehow?     And speaking of Nick - which I always like to do    - is he working at the bar at all anymore?  I thought he was going in when his college schedule allowed? 

Never a dull moment in Tourmaline.  Thanks!

When Nick started school and got his expense money from his dad he stopped working at the bar.

Ahh... got it!  I'm glad Nick won't have to run off to work just when Jeremy is getting home.  Thanks!

I know most of you saw my news about my cat Bill doing poorly, and while I am going to try to keep my nose to the grindstone this afternoon after work it is possible I might not have a chapter in me.

Just letting you know so you won't be disappointed.  Bill seems to be hanging on and my friend is giving him private duty care, so I can"t ask for better help for him, but I had a terribly restless night and may need a nap instead of writing practice!

Louise, no need to explain at all.  Get some rest.
