Surprises in the snow
Hi Sam, I'm so glad that you have continued this intriguing story.
Your characters are so strong, and your words bring them to life.
My Gran was very much like Ma. She was the head of the family.
Keep up the great work.

Wow!
What a start. This one had me gripped by the throat from the moment that they opened the trailer. I’m only saddened to see that it’s one of just two parts, Sam. When the writing and the plot is this good I could easily ride with it all the way till Christmas.

Thanks Robert
I know this topic is not the easiest to read but the topic sort of interested me so I let my imagination run wild a bit during lockdown in 2020. I didn't finish the second part until late last year. There are four more parts ready and waiting to be posted.

County Sheriff
It's great to see another story in this series. It's been one of my favorites since it started. This sounds like a case of the third of the big lies "Hello I'm from the government and I'm here to help", I've heard this. I can't say if it's true, but I can't contradict it either.
Time is the longest distance to your destination.
Uninvited Company
Enough snow to last a lifetime of winters but it so happens it did this winter. Record snowfall everywhere and we missed it. There will be more winters and we had our share of record snowfalls now and again.
Matt, Kelly, and Ma ended up with a bunch of survival rescue guests it seems. Human trafficking is not fiction and seems to be getting worse. Your story touches some of the evil of such crimes.

Life is a gift, shared with others may results in rewards such as friendships, or lost because one was used in one way or another.

Ready and waiting to be posted! Please don't keep us in suspense!
Your County Sheriff tales are always great reading and this one has already fulfilled its promise.
Thank you, thank you!
In the vast wasteland that the front page seems to be turning into, this was a breath of fresh air for me. There are still a few good cops like Matt Beecher to be found, the ones that take "To Serve and Protect" as a solemn oath. This story only appalls me because I believe the truth is so much worse than what is depicted in this story.
Justl curious, where is Walt these days? Awfully coincidental that this trailer gets dumped practically in Matt's front yard. If it isn't handled with great care it could become a very embarrassing situation for Matt & Co.

Where is Walt?
That is a good question. Like a bad penny, he has this knack of turning up when he is not wanted. That said, I'm not sure if we'll see him again but never say never..
Matt is not a cop any longer and that will become clear in the subsequent parts. It is time for Kelly to take centre stage.
The truth about child trafficking will probably never be fully told. My big crime novel that I'm in the middle of writing deals with another side of it. I am 35 chapters into it and nowhere near the end.

I'm guessing
Someone is going to have their assets chewed off when this is made known.
Another awesome chapter.
Thank you for publishing it.
I especially loved the last paragraph.
Black helicopters
The government has no originality. One could imagine they should have an inventory of other colored ones that would blend in better but, no, it has to be black.
Scary story
After a BCTS hiatus reading a whole series I come back to another Samantha tale, how wonderful. What is obviously not wonderful is the situation in this story. Sad that even in the enlightened modern ages there is human trafficking. Thanks for writing about this and giving us a plausible tale.

Human Trafficking is all around us
But for most of us, it is invisible.
I have developed this a lot farther with my long novel length story called Redress. It is around 75% complete and some 120K words. I hope to start posting it here in 2024. Some of it will be hard going but I hope that it gets read. While it is 95% set in the UK, the corruption and sexual deviant behaviour of people of influence in how the country is run and governed is worldwide.

Snow... yuck!!!
When I was a kid I used to love playing in the snow. Then I had a couple of jobs that required working outside in various weather. Including snow. During one of those two jobs, getting to the worksite could be a problem because the county roads weren't cleared until all the major highways were cleared.
The people involved trafficking those kids, and the doctor who performed the surgeries, need taken out in the middle of nowhere and disposed of without mercy. The lost the right to live the minute they started treating others as cattle. Also, those rich people who were going to receive one of those kids should be staked over an anthill and have an ample amount of honey poured over their naked body. Make it so one hand can move and leave a revolver with one round in it near that hand.
Others have feelings too.
