I saw your Part III posted in Fiction Trail Michael, and though I'd drop back to the start with Part I. I think this is well written and a great start to your story. I'm going to follow on with the next two chapters. One thing in this one that threw me, and it's just likley formatting, is the italics in one sentence. It threw me because some people use the italics as inner though, but in this case it's dialogure. “Why don’t we move this meeting of ours to a more secure location?” Alex suggested.
