: ... I'll have to replace the 'Uzi' in your chapter (I'm assuming that's what you meant when you wrote 'oozie') with 'MP-10 submachinegun'. It turns out that the Uzi was developed in Israel (now THAT must have made Hitler turn in his grave! :D ) in the early 1950's, and wasn't issued until 1955. The German Army eventually adopted the Uzi as its official submachinegun, but not until a lot later! :)

: On a side note, the Mini-Uzi wasn't issued until 1980 (just thought I'd throw that in).

: As for that last scene (with Indiana Rigg's airplane)... is it all right if I change it somewhat? It somewhat conflicts with a lot of what happened before:

: 1) Goodsport just got there... and he's a private investigator, not a scuba-diver.

: 2) Indiana Riggs had just jumped out of the plane at the end of Chapter 3.

: 3) Goodsport's private-investigating partner was killed a month earlier, and Goodsport doesn't currently have a partner (only his name is written on the door of his office now, according to Chapter 1 - remember?).

: 4) Etc.

:
: I promise to try and keep it as close as possible to your original vision, though. :)

: Overall, great chapter. And I hope that you're feeling better soon! :D
