Let's hope those arms don't get jammed. That would make an awkward scenario.
Jack and Brian: YAAAAAAH! *click click click*
Julia: ...
Gina: ...
Jack: So, listen, I still love you baby, I promise I'm not like that Charlie douche, I love you, so just give us another chance, I know in the bottom of you-
Julia: *eats Jack*
Brian: Damnit Goodwin!
Goodwin: What did I do?
Brian: You messed up everything AGAIN!
Goodwin: Oh no.
Julia: *eats Brian and Goodwin
Gina: Men.
I lost track haven't i? Great chapter as always, Jacksmith. Just one question I've been wondering- is there any connection whatsoever between one of these characters and one in A Little Blackmail? I know they take place in the same world, but it's just a little bit of world building I was thinking about. Oh well. Try to get this next chapter done soon, we've been waiting on your cliffhangers so long some of us have fallen off the proverbial cliff. I don't know how to end this rant (not really a rant) so I just will.

Author's Response:

This is the moment where the studio audience bursts into spontaneous applause and laughter.

There will be a slight connection between these characters and the ones in A Little Blackmail 5. And the next chapter is in the works.

Yeah she wasn't happy at all. Which isn't surprising since her whole world just flipped upside down. For the first time I'm excited to how this story will end. As these chapters dwindled.

Author's Response:

Glad to hear it! Thanks for reading.

Yes-yes-yes-yes-YES!

Poetic justice, at last.

:-D

Author's Response:

As well as other types of justice, with any luck!

Jack's absolutely right.  Whatever else happens now, Julia's ancien régime is over, and they all should take pride in that.  Hearing her wail in despair was as sweet a reward as he could hope for.

So, she's done shrinking at 12 inches? Once she figures out she can't immediately reach Jack, her rage will turn to panic.

I'm partially relieved that I came up with a darker plot twist than what you actually went with. Gina's always had an irrational faith in Jack, but she's as capable of self-sacrifice as any of them at this point. I never thought Julia would harm the baby, but Gina might not have seen that, and she could easily have decided to remove Julia's leverage by killing the baby and herself, given an opportunity (she could quickly smother the baby and then provoke Julia to kill her).

Author's Response:

Yes, she's done shrinking at (roughly) 12 inches - really that's just an estimate on Jack's part, since it's only because the ray couldn't take its full effect before Julia threw it away.

That definitely would've been a dark twist! Perhaps it could've crossed Gina's mind as she spent all of this alone time while her friends were gone in the walls, though at this point she's seen too many innocents die to want to be responsible for one herself.
