Well well well its time for Tori to blog lol here we go………..Soo who is this mysterious voice? Is he bluffing? is the chameleon (Gabe) caught? Has karma finally caught up with him?????

Sadly no, we find out it’s his old buddy Mickey from way back in the day. So the chameleon thinks Mickey is going to blackmail him. Huh? Wrong!

Actually he wants to join him… whoa didn’t see that coming!!!!

But I have to say I love his tactics to get Gabe to agree to let him join the team. Gabe really just thinks he is bad ass and thinks he is just gonna walk into this man’s home and kill him so he isn’t “blackmailed?” Seriously??? My main man Mickey showed him….. I love his bluff about blowing up gabe and he fell for it too. I have to admit I fell for it as well, my heart was racing a mile a min when I was reading this part lol.

Mickey is also smart by charging him $30,000 to get all the explosives (C4)! But he’s only keeping $5000 for himself (I would have kept an extra $5000 lol but that’s just me). Soooo Gabe assures mickey he can deliver the $30,000 that day!!

Sooo how’s he gonna get the money u ask?

Well now here is my fav part.  Gabe and Lexi are gonna go rob a guy named Jimmy Fitzhugh (poor lil tink tink) cuz apparently there was a load of drug money in the trailer of Jimmy’s. Sooo before they rob him, Gabe  told lexi (ugh shes annoying to me) that she would do all the talking so Jimmy would not recognize his voice. So when they first got in there she was too scared and did not say nothing????

Now all this time she been hyping him up about how she wants a part to do and she waits all the way till now to get “stage fright??”

When she finally does talk she’s getting the man to go along and get the money; unfortunately,she screams, “hurry up Gabe!!” (I kno he was lookin at her like didn’t I tell you this guy knows me and you gon say my name???)

I kno he wanted to slap her ass……I wanted to slap her!!

Soooo they end up shooting Jimmy and leaving the scene without getting caught and of course Lexi was crying all the way home. So naturally like a guy he gave in stopped being mad at her and they made love lol

awesome ending to my chapters lol soooo what’s gonna happen next????????? Stay tuned folks Alecia has got it from here!! Hope you guys enjoyed my post!!

NYPD RED is about a special unit of the NYPD police department who are assigned to protect the richest and most famous of those individuals within the city of NYPD.

The story is primarily about Detective Zach Jordan, who’s partner (Omar Shanks) recently tore his ACL at the NYPDs softball game vs. the fire department. For four months Omar will be “off the grid.” 

Zach’s new partner, Kylie Mcdonalds (who had a past relationship with Zach) was recently recruited on their task force as his new partner. 

I was disappointed that James Patterson did not really go into to much depth about their past relationship. I would had really loved to learn more. Or would we have to wait to read about it in NYPD RED 2 (which is still not available at my public library to check out!).

But with Kylies husband in existence, Zach knows Kylie is off limits.

Moreover, the story is also about “The Chameleon”. The VILLAIN of this story. He isn’t pulling any high school pranks, he is actually “acting out scenes he wrote” in real life. 

What is this guys problem? And what is his vendetta? Are it the individuals themselves he has a grudge about or is it them as a whole?

Unfortunately, the chameleon is too clever and sneaky to get caught. He was actually disappointed he wasn’t question by Detective Jordan and McDonalds at the scene of the crime during the “accidental shootings” for Ian Stewart. 

The Chameleon caused two more murders. One before the shooting, where Sid Roth was “poisoned” while having breakfast, and the other an explosion to blow up Brad Schuck.

Later, with his girlfriend Lexi, who loved the Chameleons deceptive plans, enjoyed watching their “scenes” on the news. While enjoying themselves together, Gabe,The Chameleon, received a phone call.

The caller seemed to know exactly who was causing these explosions and murders. He immediately accused Gabe. Of course Gabe denied the accusations, but the caller knew better.

Who is this caller, and how is he so sure its Gabe causing these events that are all over the news?

Who is the chameleon? What type of personality would be the chameleon?  Also were you as confused as me? I seriously thought it was a movie at first then got the point that is was not a movie taking place in the book but an actual scene of horrific events…

How do you feel about the acts he is committing? Like what would drive a man to do this do you suppose?

Also who do you think Zach will end up with at the end? Cheryl? Kylie? Alone?

Who was the most memorable person you feel Eddie has meet and why?

Please explain who stood out to you the most. Who made you think about your own life? Who do you think made a huge impact on Eddie? And why?

I would say Tala was the most memorable for me. She actually told Eddie he had meaning in his life and why. Yes the first four explained a lot to Eddie but Tala told his that he was on earth to keep kids safe at the pier. It may not had been his dream job or what he wanted to see him self at after the war or before the war but he made a difference in children’s lives at the pier. If it wasn’t for him the little girl at the pier would had died. Yes the blue man died because of Eddie, but because of Eddie, someone lived to see another day.

When I read Tala say, “Not her hands, my hands. I bring you to heaven. Keep you safe.”

I honestly could not help but to cry. Mitch Albom touched me. I felt touched. The whole time I was reading the book I wanted to know myself if Eddie saved that little girl. And to hear Tala say those were her hands and that she brought him to heaven really made me happy. It was touching and beautiful. Eddie got to live on in heaven. Knowing the meaning of his life. His self worth. It made me feel really grateful to be alive.

It really did touch my soul. 

Now its your turn.

Who did you feel was the most memorable person Eddie meet in heaven? And why?

The Fifth Person Eddie Meets in Heaven

Image

Tala.

Why was Tala the last person Eddie met and what message did she have for him?

Tala was the little five year girl Eddie heard in the burning barn while he was in war. Although he never knew it throughout his life, he actually did kill her in the fire. Eddie admitted that he received nightmares but he never understood them until he met Tala.

And finally, she taught him that Eddie did have a purpose in his life and that was keeping children safe at Ruby Pier.

Eddie persisted to ask one last time, if he saved the little girl before his death. He stated again all he could remember was the little girls hands but he wasn’t sure what happened next.

»

“Tala?” he whispered. “The little girl at the pier? Do you know about her?”

She nodded.

“Did I save her? Did I pull her out of the way?”

Tala shook her head. “No pull.”

Eddie Shivered. His head dropped. So there it was. The end of the story.

“Push,” Tala said.

He looked up. “Push?”

“Push her legs. No pull. You push. Big thing fall. You keep her safe.”

Eddie shut his eyes in denial. “But I felt her hands,” he said. “Its the only thing I remember. I couldn’t have pushed her. I felt her hands.”

Tala smiled and scooped up river water, then placed her small wet fingers in Eddie’s adult grip. He knew right away they had been there before.

“Not her hand,” she said. “My hands. I bring you to heaven. Keep you safe.”
