Finish the story begins with:
“What a tangled web we weave when first we practice to deceive”
Bella reflected on her role in the organisation after her double agent fiasco and now the proposal of marriage she had received from Alberto. She desperately wanted OUT!
Having promised many things to many people, her life was now a tangled web of possibilities.
Marg had been in constant touch with sympathetic advice and support, but Don Fernando had intimated that something very big was in the offing that would involve the entire family.
Marg now in London, was on leave after a very concentrated series of meetings and briefings. Hillary had done a splendid job of controlling the detective agency and Marg was set to offer her a partnership.
News came from the Brigadier that the Brazilian operation was going ahead, sadly without the late Colonel Tom, who’s death from a heart attack came as a complete shock.
Marg prepared herself to do battle with the devious Dickus brothers yet again.

What next? I love your continuing tale John. Thanks for sticking with this challenge, and be well… ^..^
Thanks again for your wonderful prompt Barb~ I look forward to next week ~ Have a great week. ~
You too John!
A little bit of peace for our heroes this week, giving them time to reflect before the next round against Dickus. Great continuation!
Thanks Ali ~ A lull before the onslaught I suspect ~ Thanks again for commenting 🙂
What consistency and imagination to take forward a story dotted with prompts. Kudos!
Thanks Shivangi ~ I’m glad you are enjoying the series 🙂
The “devious Dickus brothers” just sound evil….. can’t wait for the battle to begin!!
Love this series!
Thanks Deborah ~ I think the action will be as fast and furious. I can’t wait to follow the next prompt from Babs ~ I am glad you are enjoying the series ~ 🙂
Oh, entanglements indeed. I wonder like our friend Bond, James Bond – if one can ever really leave the service once they are filled with so many secrets?
Thanks for stopping by my ‘Caught in the Web’. I had never read ‘Goblin Market’ before.
And it was after I wrote my piece that I when looking for a quote to fit. I ended up reading the quote part but starting from the beginning and reading the whole length of it through!
I think there is no exit once the dice is cast Jules ~ I do agree “Goblin Market” is a work of genius and could be termed addictive
I’m truly amazed John how you can take each prompt and use it to continue your serial and make it so interesting each time! You are a brilliant writer.
Blushes with many thanks Joy, for this very encouraging comment ~ I am so pleased you are enjoying the ongoing story ~
Oooo now I am intrigued… just read all of the back stories.. looking forward to more!
Thanks Lori ~ I’m glad you are enjoying the ongoing saga of Marg. Tomorrow is another crystal ball to decloud!
