As usual a gripping tale and i look FWD to the finale Great work saddletramp (jaybee186)
Wow! Excitement galore.
I remember seeing an article in the newspaper about the Piggly Wiggly name. I thought that the article said the name was the result of a misspelling by a sign maker. The Piggly Wiggly website neither confirms or denies this.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. The fuse is burning on this powder keg, looking forward to the fireworks!
Moving right along. Good story thanks for the read. Looking forward to the next episode.
Cheers

Well, that escalated quickly.
But can you expect anything less from the ubiquitous saddletramp1956?
Really picking up stream, never miss a story with a Warren Zevon character anyway! Would be nice to explore that life more in other stories. Can't wait for the finale ... 5* stuff.
This is a good story. The pace is fast and it will be nice to see things wrapped up in the next chapter. Thanks
Hello ST. Always enjoy your writings. BUT---I am a romantic at heart and don't like ANY good guys harmed or killed. Hope this story ends in a good way.
Sure hope part 5 arrives quickly.
Great story! Reading a well written story goes so quickly. No skimming or trying to figure out what the writer was trying to say. Looking forward to the final part.
Old Fat One-eyed Has been and Roland the Thompson Gunner! You hit both Warren Zevon and John Wayne references in one story. You have elevated to an even higher level. 5* and I haven’t even finished.
You worked in Van Owen too! That SOB who blew off Roland’s head! Where is that 6th star when you need it… hmmm.
Well done ST. This may be my favorite of your stories. Now, I’ve gotta go dig out my Warren Zevon album. Only on vinyl! Boy I’m so excitable about this.
One thing I questioned. You repeatedly stated Azalea lost her foot to an IED. Nobody, by that I mean your experts in the story commented that an IED does not cut a foot off, it blows it apart. Yet they found her intact foot.
Are you going to reveal the reason for Azalea's peculiarities is she was captured and tortured and had her foot cut off in the process?
Enjoying the story.
better hang on. the flight of ST ship Truth and Justice is fixing to take flight
As an policeman's son in Moonie Ponds Melbourne Australia I remember when I was 8 or 9 the police out side our house for protection from some threat when dad was a defective.
The me memory has faded and your story reminded me of the incident . The outcome was anticlimactic as the culprit was caught and dealt with according to Dad. please keep up the writing and thanks.
Great as always. Kind of waiting for Justice in the denouement. Going to hell is always a fitting end.
You do drag it out, but always in an interesting and addictive way. I would still like to see Justice and his old gang appear again.
This is so good that I was hoping there would be more than one chapter remaining. I could see recurring roles for Roland and Bill. Azalea is an odd one. After her mission, Hard Rock might be someplace for her to settle, but probably not as a central character.
You are successfully ramping up the tension. Can't wait for the finale! 5 stars
Another well written chapter ST giving us a lot to look forward to in the finale
Thanks for writing
The well thought out story is building and taking shape. Thanks for your efforts and your writing.
I'm loving it. Can't wait for the next chapter. I'm drawn into it and can't put it down (if it was on paper) ;-) The suspense is building, and I hope like hell it won't be a dud, but then every story I've read that was written by ST1956 has be good. This one is great, and reminds me more and more of "A father's justice". We'll have to wait until the end to see what the body count will be. :-)
I'm giving this part 5 stars, wish I could give it more. Thank You for sharing, it's fantastic.
Slowed down a little too much for me in this chapter, but always enjoy your stories!
JTF2 - the first boots on the ground in Afghanistan, at the request of the US DoD back when.
This should have been 1 long story or at most 2 parts. You ruin the flow with this many chapters and it makes the enjoyment much less for the reader after having to sort thru the multiple endings/beginnings not to mention having to wait several days for each short chapter. Your stories are good, but they would be better without making them multiple short chapters.
Waiting for the next part. Will comment on whole story at the end. Very good so far!
"French Consulate in Washington" - In Washington, wouldn't it be the Embassy?

"using air quotes on the word "company."" = Just a pet peeve of mine, when you put scare quotes around a word, that indicates air quotes, so there's no need to say that in the narration.
Very well constructed story. NOT immediately predictable and full of fun, slowly revealed, pieces of the puzzle.
Very well done!
So Roland the Headless Thompson gunner shows up, but nobody thinks to call Dad and have him send lawyers, guns and money? I mean, after all, the shit Has hit the fan! Heck, even Carmelita’s down in Echo Park! HELP!!
Very good stuff, ‘Tramp. You keep writing it, we’ll keep on reading. 5⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Love these action adventure mysteries! Great characters, fun story! I don’t always take the time to sign in but I’ve given each part 5 stars. Thanks for entertaining us.
