Welcome back to another visit with the Weekend Writing Warriors, the blog hop for anyone who likes to write, where we share 8-10 sentences from a project and sometimes get creative with punctuation. 😉 I’m continuing with Hawk’s story. I skipped over some of it, but Hawk’s father was still lingering. They managed to make it away, though. This is the end of this scene:
“So,” Barbie finally said, “I take it your father hasn’t given up yet.”
I let out a rough laugh. “No, and he’s going to be after both of us now,” I said, gesturing back to where Noah clung to his seat. “With or without getting paid for it.”
“Really,” Barbie said, glancing over her shoulder, “and why’s that?”
“Meet my little brother, Noah. And my father will consider him coming with us the worst betrayal.”
“Well, that’s just wonderful,” Barbie said. Then she turned in her seat and smiled at Noah. “Welcome to the family.”
Will everyone else accept him so easily? What other trouble are they going to face? I’ll have more for you next week.

Intriguing! I wonder what danger their father will bring with him.
You won’t have long to wait
Nice scene! Hoping Noah made the right decision . . . but then he didn’t have much of one to begin with.
Thanks. No, he really didn’t.
Well at least Barbie’s happy about the family reuniting! But yeah, Hawk’s father seems to be so determined and ruthless, it’ll only make him worse, I’m guessing. Enjoyed the excerpt…
Yeah, that’s a pretty good guess. 😉 Thanks
Fathers can be awful to deal with. Good snippet!
Some of them certainly. Thanks
I’m getting a better feel for the overall story idea.
Well, Barbie is taking all of this a lot more calmly than I would be. Good for her!
She’s pretty used to these men and the trouble they have a tendency to attract.
Hmm, I wonder what new complications Noah is bringing with him?
That’s a good question. 😉
Daddy is a real problem, made worse by Noah’s betrayal (thinking from Daddy’s pov). So, how dangerous is Daddy? Good excerpt, raises all kinds of questions.
oh yeah, he’s a very not nice guy.
Remind me to avoid any family reunions they might have planed.
yeah, they wouldn’t be much fun, would they?
