Oh my! I loved this chapter. Especially the 4EVER carved on the tree! The suspense is mounting and I am feeling anxious for our critters. Who do those footsteps belong to and how can they escape? Think I need a baker's dozen of scones and a nice pot of tea to calm my nerves ...

Thank you, Trudi! A baker's dozen is in order! More will be revealed in the next chapter, but more will remain to be seen by our incredible sleuths! Thank you very much for staying tuned. 4Ever. Full. Stop.

Love the poem at the end, and I imagined the clay pigeons diving for cover as well as any other critter that might be in the area. 😁

Thank you, Mary! The Haiku was especially fun to write as I was able to have the second stanza flow into the third. That's a really humorous image with the clay pigeons.:)

It's been a long winter. I took Jojo outside and there's a beautiful crescent moon in the early evening light.

A lot of interesting twists and turns in this chapter, Heidi! I like the suspense of the last line with the heavy footsteps. Looking forward to chapter 14!

Thank you, Neil! It's always a challenge to write a cliffhanger! Where will those heavy footsteps land next? Thank you for staying tuned!

Oh, the suspense!

Another week to wait to find out who is coming up the stairs and why the cadets are behind the eight ball.

And a love triangle -- my, my!

Anyways, Heidi and critters, party on and I look forward to reading next week's chapter.
