Penalty Killer ... Chapter Twelve

Brainstorm

1.) Tallulah is 15 weeks pregnant and while she enjoys being home with her children, there is a part of her that misses the hospital and being a surgeon. Starts to wonder if she has done the right thing by walking away from her career. I think this is a perfect opportunity to show how she interacts with Marina and Max.

2.) Grace and Burt have come to some kind of understanding. It makes Tallulah wonder if Grace actually wants to go back to Burt or if she feels a little guilty abandoning an old man. Still no word from Audrey. I'm also realizing that Samantha and Tony have been mentioned very little in previous chapters. Perhaps it is time Tallulah sits down with one of them. That would be a perfect way for her to vent.

3.) We've already met Kip. He is back in Arizona with Audrey, or so everyone thinks. Perhaps while Kozlov is in training camp, preparing to go overseas for the season opener, one more California guy makes an appearance, scared to death that the copy of the disc left on his doorstep will be leaked to the police.

4.) Olga still wants to come to Rockport and Kozlov fumbles around excuses to keep her away, at least for a couple more months. Of course this should be mentioned before #3, or possibly it's an internal dialogue for Tallulah right after #3 happens.

Okay, there are four plot points for this chapter. I'm not sure if they will all make it in or that I won't go off on some tangent once I get writing, but that's the tentative plan.
