I second that Em. For me she seems more like a rather shy and careful person, due to her past ans whatever happened in it. So.. she's very different from Mich and Gaby.. at least in my eyes. Jess

I like Frances because she is seemingly a much softer type of woman and this makes a nice change. That doesn't mean she is going to be sickly soft..........she has to have a bit of toughness in her to have led a life of changing identities.....so I expect we will see some of the inner strength show up as we go along......but, not in such a controlling way as Mich or Gaby. I don't like controlling women as I have told you before Lucy. Also, I am glad that at the moment she seems to be a softer type of woman who can be easily amused.........because I have always said that in my opinion our John needs a more sensitive person than either a Gaby or Mich. He is a sensitive person himself.

@ Em..... ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D What could you tell the girls.... from now on..... You have very little to help them with.... So.... do John and Frances get any closer...? Lucy & Chris Chapter 1 part 5 Walking around the gallery, John and Frances kept to polite conversation, remaining in neutral territory, talking about the work on display or their own jobs. Any time the questioning became a little too personal however, John noticed that Frances deftly deflected his queries and changed the subject. “So Mr Kelly, are you a true New Yorker? Or did you come in from elsewhere?” John chuckled and admitted to the former, realising that he was answering questions about himself that she refused to answer. He thought about asking again, but changed his mind. She was a woman, probably living alone and didn’t as yet trust anyone fully. “So do you live near the school?” Frances nodded, “I have an apartment a block away from the park, I find myself spending a lot of time there… It’s very relaxing.” “Have you always been a teacher?” She shook her head, “No, that’s a fairly recent occupation, but I’ve always liked the classic English writers and when a friend suggested I should go into teaching after a career break the idea appealed to me.” John nodded, “My company has been going around four years now, I had to change my profession too, for a while I didn’t know what I was going to do, but then an old friend made a suggestion which I followed up. “Oh? What did you do before, I have to admit, you don’t really seem the type to be a security guard…” John gave her a sad smile, “I worked with the 15th precinct here in Manhattan, a detective with the NYPD.” Frances swallowed, once again her instincts had been correct, while she did not fear him, she knew she had to be careful if she met John Kelly in the future. He could not find out about her past. &&& Across the Atlantic, a dark-headed man frowned at the person standing in front of him, “What do you mean, you can’t find Sarah… We nearly caught up with her a couple of weeks ago – she can’t have disappeared. She must be somewhere, use that informant you have.” As the man left, Phillip Michaels frowned at the photograph in his hand, it had been taken on the day he had married Sarah and the two of them had been happy together. Then she had found out about his work and left him. He had been searching for her ever since. Placing the picture gently back on his desk, he walked to the window of his office, overlooking the Thames and sighed softly. “I’ll find you Sarah, if it’s the last thing I do.”

OH my, great chapter. So she is getting all of her answers and avoiding his questions. So what was her husband into? Obviously something not on the up and up and is now running. Although why would she be afraid if John found out? It's not like she was part of it or was she? Does she have a shady past as well? So many questions in only a few chapters. Keep up the great work.

So she's avoiding questions......hiding behind a mask already.......not really a good way to start something.....IF they will start something, that is.........And, assuming Frances and Sarah is the same person (after all she had to change identity because of her past.....), she has a husband who, for whatever reason, is eager to find her..........Very curious about the "work" he did she found out about and that made her leave him.........

Well, I have to agree with both Jen and Sandra...........that is that we can only assume (maybe wrong) that Sarah is Frances.......in which case Phillip Michaels is her husband. So what was he doing that made her leave him......very curious about this because if placing her photograph down gently and sighing is anything to go by....it sounds like he loves her. It doesn't sound like he wants to hurt her.......so I am wondering if in fact she is not the innocent party here.
Loved the way you played her against John..........he is already aware of some mystique about her............so why is she so wary of cops.........I doubt it is just because she has run away......I think there is something else going on here.
Wonderful wp Chris.
Margaret
