Mercy - this story is wonderful. I'm just sorry that Theresa has to suffer...

Wonderful chapter, Mercy.. I love that everyone supported Lou as Teaspoon questioned Albert into telling the truth.. I loved it when Teaspoon told Albert ""Look, sonny. You're already doomed, so erase that haughty smile off your damn face. With or without your help, we'll catch your father and if we don't, that will mean little to your case. You're as good as dead.""..

""What am I supposed to do now? What am I gonna do with my life?"" - poor Theresa, she is so lost..

"Theresa stared at Jimmy with big eyes, expecting an answer, a miraculous recipe to her now messy life. Jimmy cleared his throat uncomfortably and whispered, "I'm afraid I don't know. But I do know you don't have to do it alone. You have us, Tessie. Your family is here for you."" - It would be kinda cool to see Jimmy and Theresa together...

I so hope that Albert and Dr. Hill hang for their crimes...

I love it.

Great Chapter !

Poor Jeremiah :( and poor Theresa :(

I'm almost sad this story is coming to an end... I"m excited to see how you wrap everything up, but I don't want it to be over.

I've really enjoyed it.

Even though I am glad that Albert has been shown as the rat he really is, my heart is breaking for Theresa!

Oh my goodness I loved this chapter, but come on could Kid, Jimmy and Cody get a few good hit in on Albert. Can wait to see what comes next and what becomes of Dr. Hill.

I love it. Poor Theresa but I think Jimmy will be good for her.

"Kid wanted to believe that he had nothing to fear. Albert would not dare to harm Lou when his own wife was around. Theresa would never allow anybody to hurt her sister. Lou was safe. Yet, Kid did not want that weasel near his wife." - oh how true and yet how scary...

"Louise took a tiny sip, and pulled away, cringing as the tea made contact with her tongue. "It has a weird taste… uh… like bitter almonds."" - oh not good, so glad that Kid arrived before Albert manage to get her to actually drink it..

" "Louise was supposed to have no husband! You… you alone made this happen. This shouldn't be taking place!" - oh yeah, Albert has gone off the deep end..

" "Not initially. When she first came along and we realized who she was, I… I was supposed to seduce her… get her to marry me." - So Albert is being to tell the tangled web..

"And naturally, even though you didn't know, she was already married, and wouldn't let you drag her to that game," Teaspoon muttered, meeting Lou's eyes. The young woman's face was flustered, obviously shocked and appalled by what she was learning today, but the marshal was sure she wouldn't want to miss any bit of the truth." - of course she'd wanna know everything - this is our Lou, she'd rather face the worst - than be seen as weak..

""And… well, her sister was more receptive to my …uh charms."
"So you decided to try your hand on young Theresa instead."
"Yes."" - and the plot continues to be uncovered... Everyone has now learned that young Theresa was a pawn in this tangled web..

"Louise, though, was still in the way to your plans, and had to be done away."
"Yes."

"A loud sob resounded in the bedroom, and as all eyes moved in the direction the wail had come from, they noticed Theresa standing at the door." - Now Theresa knows as well.. oh, poor Theresa..

oh, i hope another update comes quickly.. I can't wait to see what happens next..
ps. many thanks to your beta for sending this update so quickly ..

I am so happy that Kid stopped Albert in time . Poor Theresa , she learned about her husband never loved her .Hope she will over come soon . Lou took a sip of cyanide . Will Lou be alright ?

Whew! Talk about arriving in the nick of time! Thank goodness Kid and the guys got there when they did...

I can't wait to hear the rest of Albert/Alfred's confession!

Go Teaspoon , Kid, Jimmy, and Cody go save Lou.

Eek! not sure Kid should have told Theresa about Lou getting better...

Love that Lou requested Pears, just so Kid would get up and stretch some...
Jimmy and Cody are back and they brought Jack with them... They are over with Teaspoon when Kid notices them.. Oi, Kid nearly lost it with Jack - fortunately Jimmy and Cody where able to pull him off and calm him down..

The papers that Jimmy and Cody brought back are proof that Albert is hiding something - but not proof enough that he is involved with Lou's illness..

upon the mentioning of Albert other name "Alfred Sanders" Ari remembers how and when she knew him... She tells Teaspoon, Jimmy, Cody, and Kid everything she knows..

Kid then puts two and two together that Albert and Dr. Hill are the Sanders that knew Boggs.. He then turned to take off..

""When we left, Albert had just arrived. Teaspoon, my wife's in danger if that man is around her, especially when he realizes she's getting better."

As soon as Kid stopped, Teaspoon grabbed his belt from the peg behind him, and said, "Come on, boys. Let's go."" - looks like the fun it about to begin... I certainly hope that Theresa hasn't let Lou alone with Albert.. I don't believe Albert would be stupid enough to try anything in front of her...

Looking forward to the next update...

Love it. Glad that Jimmy & Cody found out who did it.

Eep! What a cliffhanger! Theresa knows Lou is getting better and is bound to tell Albert.

You're killing me, Mercy! :) But in a good way... I'm glad Kid found the connection between Albert and Dr. Hill. I know you won't kill Lou, but I can't wait to see how close this comes!
