Here's chapter nine which returns the focus to Natalie. Also you will meet Brendon. You may or may not recall the 'hacker' cameo in 'Heart Condition' is a guy named Brendon. This is the same character and he will be the connection to the David Ryan law firm in Chicago. Kate/Jessica will need them in future chapters. What? - You thought I could write a story without the Ryan law firm/Chicago connection? Not likely! Thanks again for reading and taking the time to comment and thanks to Steve for keeping a watchful eye on the whole thing. Regards, AA
