Would be definitely interested in seeing if John ended up showing up at the vamps nest. Perhaps he was on the same trail and figured the little blonde could use a helping hand.
Watch out for your sentences, sometimes they run-on and would flow a little better by making one sentence into two or more.
Love the description that you placed in there about Jo and her appearance being so innocent, yet so far from the truth. You really packed a lot of goodness into that part. Lots was said without having to actually say it. Wonderful job!
