Seen in the Pages of The Book

This was in the version that was sent back to me with more additions by the author. I did not write any of this.

"A friend indeed is a friend in need. I owe it to you as a friend and good night."

Just then, chief of police Ron Matthews strode into Dave’s office, a stern look on his face. Chief Ron Matthews is a big man. He is 58 years old and looking forward to his retirement when he becomes 60. He has 30 years with the Seattle police department. The police department respects him and is fearful of his power, authority and commanding leadership. Ron has a long grey mustache and he has a habit of touching it when he is mad. Every one in the department knows when he is mad.


The food was delicious, as always cooked by their Italian chef, but Lisa Rittman’s thoughts were far away from anything she was putting in her mouth. Paul brought the Italian chief from his Hawaiian hotel because he likes Italian food and this chef has that special touch. Lisa was eating dinner with her husband seated at the opposite end of the table, daughter Christina, son Jason, two of their friends and the future husband of Christina. But she felt as if she was eating alone. Lisa was looking straight at Paul while eating and thinking about Diane, the robbery, Christina’s shower, how beautiful Diane looked and the closeness of Paul and Diane


"Time will tell and the love will come out openly."

Uhmmm wow, Caleb stated. Caleb was a developer. He lived in the Bay area after moving there from Seattle. He misses Seattle. He has friends in Seattle he sees less and less these days. He had fish tacos for lunch and then came back to work and saw he had a new RSS article to read. He read it. Then responded in this comment.
