Weekend Writing Warriors: Old Friends

Welcome to Weekend Writing Warriors. I'm continuing from the unnamed manuscript that I've been sharing with you. My hero and heroine have been captured by terrorists in the Amazon and taken to a jungle compound. Rafel is the leader of the bad guys.  He is talking to my hero.

Rafael’s head inclined toward him.  He pulled a cell phone from his pocket.  “I thought perhaps you would like to hear my conversation with your father.”

“You know my father?  That doesn’t seem likely.”

“Oh, I know him.  We are old friends.”  Rafael showed his teeth in what might have passed for a smile if you didn’t look closely.

Weekend Writing Warriors: Saved by a Wallet

Welcome to Weekend Writing Warriors. I hope everyone has had a wonderful Easter Sunday. My excerpt today comes from the same book I've been sharing with you. After 'misbehaving' when lost in the jungle, my hero and heroine have been captured by desperadoes in military gear. This eight comes right after they checked David's wallet for ID.

“Who is your father?”

David didn’t know if it would be to his advantage to tell or not.  This guy could have a grudge against his father.  After all, with his dad’s political background there was no telling what he might have done that hurt this thug.  Still, what choice did he really have?  “Richard Lovinggood,” he answered.

“Ah.”  Rafael tossed his pants to him.  “You and the woman get dressed.”
