Hi, Amy. Again, I'm sorry about Carol, but when one deals with psychopathic sociopaths (or sociopathic psychopaths), one may - literally - place one's life in that insane person's hands. The Trask I'm writing is so crazy that he believes that neither the law nor any moral standards apply to him.

While Carol didn't materially contribute to taking down Trask, she tried. And that has to count for something.

Thank you for your kind words, cuidadora. I worked hard on presenting these characters as fully fleshed people, and my beta team helped tremendously.

Final chapter up soon!
