WOW! This was great! The tension is exciting. I noticed you accidently duplicated the last scene. You must have pasted it twice.
The prison scene juxtaposed with the interrogation adds to the intensity. I can't imagine how this ends. I like that. Predictability is boring. The tempers of the father and son characters make the plot hard to predict. I'm not certain that they will always make the most rational or logical decisions which keeps the story fluid.
I'm not sure where reality ends and fantasy begins but I'm not bothered by that any more. It seems believable.
Yay for you! :)
