Great choice using Bill to tell the story it certainly gives us a different perspective on events!


Quote:
Jake would come back when he was good and ready, I assured my best friend. Jimmy still looked nervous whenever he brought up Jake, but he always listened to me when I told him Jake was probably somewhere nearby, waiting 'til his cuts and bruises healed. He wouldn't want to let anyone in town see him before that. Jake's a good guy, but he's always been a little into his looks.

Quote:
I saw his wife coming back and forth from that direction out of town, and it would be just like Hawkins to set up a twenty-four-hour guard on a fugitive who was no longer wanted. Hawkins is a good cop, we were lucky to have him, but he goes overboard sometimes. All that time in St. Louis I think. I once saw him shoot at a squirrel that surprised him in his backyard.
Bill's take on Jake and Hawkins really had me laughing.
I can definitely understand Jake's pain over Gail and Gray getting married! 

Quote:
As the beaming couple stepped over the threshold, streams of white cascaded down on either side of them, forming an archway and twisting in the summer breeze. The audience who had gathered exclaimed and clapped harder. Gray Anderson's eyes had gone wide, and in the second it took him to realize that it was toilet paper descending from the roof, he became infuriated.
LOL! I knew this was Dale and Skylar. I was glad to see that Gail invited them, even if Gray didn't want them there.

Quote: 
 "But..." Gray trailed off helplessly. "The Devil's Duo. At our wedding. I should have known something like this would happen..."
LOL! So now we know what the 'DD' stands for!
 
Quote: 
 "Stanley and Mimi!" I said. "Again!" I'd been trying to warn my boss for weeks that there was something suspicious about our long time friend and the strange woman he was living with, the way I'd see them turn up in odd places in town, and the way they'd dash away as fast as they could. I knew there was a sinister secret, a deeper story going on, but Jake only glanced up from the ground with an air of indifference.

 "Oh, I'm - good. I am good," she stammered, though she didn't really look too 'good' as she struggled with a pile of papers. Her face was flushed and she was glancing back and forth between myself and Jake.
You really want to keep us guessing about what's up with Mimi/Stanley and Heather, don't you?

Eric with both April and Mary and I'm guessing Trish? A surprising (and funny) solution to his problem. With all the talk of Eric owing Gray, I'm wondering if he had a hand in this.

Oh my!  I hardly know where to begin!

First off, it's interesting that Bill is the one telling us the story.  That gives the story a rather unique voice.

QUOTE: Jake was probably somewhere nearby, waiting 'til his cuts and bruises healed. He wouldn't want to let anyone in town see him before that. Jake's a good guy, but he's always been a little into his looks.

This totally cracked me up.  Bill's observations about Jake, how Hawkins was guarding him out at the cabin, etc. had me absolutely heehawing.  It's a two-prong joke.  Bill himself is humorous, but then there's what we as the audience know--that Jake was in Cheyenne.

It seems as though Eric has found quite an interesting solution to his women woes.  That, in itself, is shocking, though the fact that everyone seems to regard it as normal is even more shocking.  And funny.

Looking forward to seeing just what Stanley and Mimi are up to.

LMAO!!! I totally can understand Jake, I feel his pain. Now just prying that Penny Lane got some sense and decide next chapter that it was a dream Gray had. Jajajaja.

And eric with two wifes, woow, that's something I can tell that.

Good work, I like it. now going to read next chapter hoping to see that it was all a dream. :)
