What a terrific installment, Terry! The pacing (especially with all the tension in the opening lines) was spot-on, and your writing is fantastic as always.

And yay for Matt Walker! *hearts the taser-wielder* If I didn't love him before, I certainly do now.

Also, I have to echo Ann's sentiment about your description of Carrie's last moments:
Quote
She floated in the doorway, her face almost angelic. "I told you I wouldn't let my baby be born in prison."
Disturbingly fitting, but ultimately so, so sad.

Thanks for such a great read, Terry — can't wait for your next post!
