This isn't a story chapter, as the story is over. This is the epilogue I mentioned when I posted the last chapter. Thanks for sharing your time with me!

Last Chapter dear reader. Thanks for still being here. There will be an epilogue sometime next week. No deep revelations, just some thoughts on the story and maybe some plans for the future. Thank you so very much for reading. A special shout-out and thank you to Geoff, Jim, and Lee for being regular commenters. Your kind words reassured me and lifted my spirits after every posting.

Well, seems like the mystery is solved. What did you think of the solution? Seems like all that's left is some paperwork. Welcome to the next to the last chapter. I hope you enjoy it. THANKS FOR READING!

In this chapter, we get to the climax, but not to the resolution of the story. This is the first of the three remaining chapters. In the comments for the last chapter, Geoff Fox suggested that the dog ate a piece of the jig saw puzzle that makes up this story. I suspect he was being silly, but he got closer to the truth than he realized. You'll have to read to see how close. THANKS FOR READING!!

In this chapter Law and Bea return to a clue they've had since the beginning, but only now seems significant. What do you suppose it is? You're right, it's the key. What do you think it fits? You'll have to read to see if they figure it out. THANKS FOR READING!!

I was going to post once a week, but the outpouring of comments has encouraged me to post another chapter. To be honest, I'm a whore for comments. Most of the writers i know are. In this chapter, we learn a bit more about the case, and we get a hint about Law. Enjoy! THANKS FOR READING!!
