I hadn't expected this to happen O_O

Finished chapter 33. Damn, Villegas is still hard to read...

It's weird... Somehow I did and somehow I didn't.

I'm still not sure about him either. I don't trust him but I'm waiting until I condemn him completely, lol! I still hope he's going to surprise us.

I'm waiting for the other shoe to drop.

I'm there too. Jimmy and I needed to take a short bathroom break. LOL. And I quickly grabbed another coffee. ;)

EDIT: I think there is still hope for him. :)

Do you know what I don't get? If Ballard is so sure about Tom driving them into a war, why doesn't he spill what he knows?

Yes! That's what I meant by my previous comment when they were talking before the trial. (view spoiler)[He could have tried to convince Tom to play by the rules of the White House and so on. But maybe it's considered too risky because they aren't sure that Tom will play by the rules. And they would be right about this,
I think. (hide spoiler)]

Yes, but that was then and now is now... The situation is once again worsening and he seems to be sure about the possible outcome. So this would be his chance to change it, right?

[Josy]

WTH?? Who did Kryukov talk to when he was on the phone?? (view spoiler)[Other than the location of the dead drop this sounds like the conversation we read about before. (hide spoiler)]

I have no f*cking clue. But this sounds like they used snippets of this phone call...

Honestly? I have no clue. Maybe (view spoiler)[he isn't allowed to spell it out for Tom but is still supposed to convince Tom? I don't know. You have to remember that he, too, is only a plaything, a pawn, for the big guns if the conspiracy is a real thing. (hide spoiler)]

True that. :(

Entirely possible! (view spoiler)[It would explain how Bulat D. was able to identify his voice. At this point, nothing would surprise me anymore. And if it's really the CIA and White House, they surely have the means to pull something like this off. They are able to record phone conversations, right? (hide spoiler)]

Ent..."

I think so, but I don't know if that would require judicial action (a warrant) beforehand.

[Josy]

LOL!! (view spoiler)[If they are conspiring to kill another country's president, I don't think they are stopping at judicial anything :)
(hide spoiler)]

80% Another thing I don't get about the sniper: (view spoiler)[He is supposedly one of the best, right? Now I have read my fair share of assassination stories and not one of them had to take a test shot before trying for the target. WTH?? This would alert anyone and the target, especially such a high profile target, would be surrounded. AND he stood and waved to the protesters. I'm sure that would have been a clean shot. (hide spoiler)]

Yes to your first spoiler, but that would backfire at them, then, if they don't have such thing.

As to your second spoiler: (view spoiler)[ I don't get the test shoot at all. I mean the Russian President was the first to be shot, right? Why was this a test shot, then? Or did I miss something? (hide spoiler)]

[Josy]

Simone wrote: "Yes to your first spoiler, but that would backfire at them, then, if they don't have such thing..."

No, I don't think so. If all went according to plan and all the key players were in place (which it now doesn't and they aren't) no one would even question this.

What about my second spoiler? Aren't you there yet or am I too far off?

[Josy]

Simone wrote: "As to your second spoiler: (view spoiler)..."

Yes, you missed something: (view spoiler)[The protesters had a puppet that looked like a caricature of the president and the first shot the puppet as his test shot. (hide spoiler)]

Josy wrote: "Simone wrote: "As to your second spoiler: (view spoiler)..."

Ahh, I forget about that... Thank you. :) But I could totally understand a test shot, because as much as you train for this, there are still circumstances which have to be included, e. g. the weather, wind etc.

[Josy]

Ballard quickly changed topics?? What exactly did he promise D??

Simone wrote: "Ahh, I forget about that... Thank you. :) But I could totally understand a test shot, because as much as you train for this, there are still circumstances which have to be included, e. g. the weather, wind etc..."

Yeah well... I'm no assassin, obviously, but all the other ones I've read about before never had to take one, lol! I know that wind and so on is important for a sniper to make his shot but the other assassins I 'know' all had other means to calculate it.

No idea. I haven't read that many stories like that, but for me it would still make sense. :)

[Josy]

What is Ballard's deal? His attitude goes far beyond not liking Tom.

[Simone - on indefinite hiatus -]

Josy wrote: "What is Ballard's deal? His attitude goes far beyond not liking Tom."

Still no clue... It's a wild guess, but maybe he wants to be moved from the courtroom because of disrespectful behavior?

[Josy]

Simone wrote: "Still no clue... It's a wild guess, but maybe he wants to be moved from the courtroom because of disrespectful be..."

Huh... I'm sure it would be a result at one point but why? To remove himself from the trial? Again, I don't know anything about U.S. law procedure but I doubt that the trial would move forward without the U.S. Attorney, would it? Or do you think they are exchangeable?

[Simone - on indefinite hiatus -]

Uh-oh... End of chapter 34.

EDIT: I think we'll get to know soon what Ballard's deal is.

Life is so tough, LOL !!! Have a lovely Sunday, Karen <3"

Thank you for the lovely sentiment Christelle, but I fear this is not to be. Booklikes is once again broken...seriously broken. Yesterday I fixed and/or added 11 reviews that their site had chewed up and spit out into cyber-space and so I happily thought that today I just had the two reviews to write that I didn't do yesterday because I was fixing things...wrong...I now have 1 review still to write and 3 to fix because BL is broken. Seriously I typed up my review for and when I saved it the review that displayed was my review for 'Tramps and Thieves' by Rhys Ford...this was a new review typed up one word at a time not a copy and paste job where I could even tell myself "Oopsie, I copied the wrong review." nope typed it all fresh from my brain. Thank god my brain also copied and saved it over here on GR so I didn't actually lose everything...ok, that's my rant I feel better...sorta'...kinda'...almost...FML!!!! Booklikes is the cyber spawn of Satan. Sorry, for ranting here my darlings. I really only came by to see how the buddy was going and get a break from the Satan spawn...I fail :(

I think there would be a continuance until someone else can take over...

That's awful and I'm so sorry, Karen! You can rant here anytime... ~hugs~

[Josy]

Oh, Karen!! I'm so sorry that BL still isn't fixed!!
Rant as much as you want and need if it makes you feel better :)
Good thinking on saving the reviews here on GR, too. At least you didn't lose them.

I'm starting with chapter 35 now.

[Simone - on indefinite hiatus -]

"I can't remove him from the prosecution, not because he's an ass. The whole lot U.S. Attorneys would be fired if that was the standard."

So much for my wild guess... ;-)

[Christelle]

@Karen : sorry to hear about the mess you're going through :-( You're allowed a nice glass of wine, or a good cup of coffee with some biscotti as comfort !!

@Simone and Josy : I'm laughing reading your comments. It's frustrating when one knows the story and can't say anything, but it's also fun, I have to admit.
Keep going on : you will nail it by tomorrow !!

[Simone - on indefinite hiatus -]

Right! I totally forgot about Villegas wanting to talk to Mike... We never got that scene.

The fate of a stalker. LOL. I so do know how you feel. :)

[Karen]

Thanks for letting me rant. You all are awesome and honestly coming here and seeing that your enjoying your buddy read makes me smile. I'll be back later hopefully just to say hi and see how it's going. I'm back to my reviews. At least BL is working enough that I can post my reviews to the blogs and carry on with things...*crossing my fingers that they don't crash the site again before I get everything done that I can.

See you later beautiful ladies.

I'm not there yet but I was thinking about it and wondering when we would get to read about it.

LOL! Thanks, Christelle :)
I can imagine how frustrating it must be ;)
I wish we could finish this today but that won't be possible. I'm dying to know how this all ends!

^^^^What Josy said. :) Although I don't know how much longer I can read. It's getting late and I'm getting tired.

[Simone - on indefinite hiatus -]

Josy, I finished chapter 35 now. I just checked and the next one is quite long, 4%. I don't think I can make it so far... Do you still want to read a bit or should we call it a day?

[Josy]

I don't think I can make the next chapter completely but I could read for a bit longer. It's up to you. We could stop during the chapter or we can start with it tomorrow. You can decide :)

If it's okay for you I would like to stop here, then. It's getting hard for me to concentrate. :( I would do a quick check of my update feed and then hurry to go to bed.

[Josy]

Of course :)
When do you want to start tomorrow? I think I could be ready at 6 PM.

[Simone - on indefinite hiatus -]

Josy wrote: "Of course :)

Sorry, but I won't make it until 7 p.m. :( Even if this means that we probably won't finish it tomorrow, either.

[Josy]

Not a problem :) I will be here and ready whenever you are!

Ladies, have a wonderful evening/night!!
BIG hugs to you all :)
