Good solid instalment all around.

As the others have said, your characterizations of Bibbo and Tessa were well drawn, and your eye for setting is quite good.

But the most impresive thing was the cliff-hanger at the end. It wasn't a wham influenced one, but it was an attention getter. Now all the gentle readers will have to 'tune in' next time just to find out what Tessa has to say.

Tank (who still has hope that Chris will allow Lois to cut her hair so we know that there really is a chance for the Lois and CJ relationship to succeed - unless you are planning for it to fail?)
