Question 1 of 10
1. Trey looked at the bridge and considered his options. The structure looked stable and should support the truck. His hard solid muscles rippled as he turned the wheel and guided the vehicle onto the wooden planks. If he didn't make it across, the family business concern would be destroyed, Romano would not release Princess Debbie, and he - Trey - would never discover the true identity of his half brother.

Answer: (One word - 4 letters)
Question 2 of 10
2. Since being hurled back in time, Sapphire felt so lost. She idly turned the leaf of a book that she could barely understand anyway, and wondered how to contact Sir Guy. He was probably sitting in the Great Hall with his personal attendant Billy, telling stories of gallant bravery. Well she needed to get back to the 21st Century - he should understand that. Goodness, if she had been at home now, she would simply have an announcement made summoning him to the tower. Well that was not an option in Ye Olde Englande. She stamped her foot in frustration. She should never have trusted the mad professor's time machine in the first place.

Answer: (One word - 4 letters)
Question 3 of 10
3. Branch knew he would have to climb onto the horse and ride to the stream where Autumn had drowned. He had no choice. He wanted to fix the brass plaque onto the rock where she fell, and remember her as she was before she died. The animal that was his means of conveyance for this journey was old and grey, but sure of foot. As he rounded the last corner he stopped suddenly. There in his path, her hair shimmering in the afternoon sun, was Autumn. She was not dead! They stared longingly at each other for many minutes.

Answer: (One word - 5 letters)
Question 4 of 10
4. Brayden had failed to understand the extent of the rescue operation. Petra, the famous opera singer was being held prisoner in the fortress, but he hadn't realised how high the walls were. He would have to climb them with only a rope and his bare hands. A flake from the surface of the rusty iron gate brushed across his fingers as he pushed through the first low barricade. He must reach her. He needed to know if she really was his mother.

Answer: (One word - 5 letters)
Question 5 of 10
5. He had chosen his next victim. Though nobody could see his face he still took great care. Corla had been first. She died in the blazing flames of her tiny cottage. Desmarie was harder. He had been forced to pull the trigger of his gun while she stared helplessly into his eyes. Now it was Jayna's turn. This time it would be strangulation. An intense fervor gripped him as he headed towards the waterfront. The Mayford Murderer was back!

Answer: (One word - 4 letters)
Question 6 of 10
6. Franco whirled her around the dance floor while the orchestra played their favourite song. His party of friends watched approvingly as he slipped the circle of gold onto her slim finger. Everyone believed him to be of European nobility - there was no hint of his former life as Sailor O'Neill. He would certainly use that plastic surgeon again.

Answer: (One word - 4 leters)
Question 7 of 10
7. Perinella lay still in the coffin and tried to think. Since she had been buried in the earth at the river's edge, she had little else to do. Clay would find her - he must. She had to depend on that happening or she would literally go insane. The narrow pipe connecting her to the surface was useful for more than just air. She had heard Marguerite and her dreadful cohort Fritz discussing how much money was being held in the treasury to pay her ransom. So they expected Clay to come to her rescue. She felt herself slip once more into oblivion.

Answer: (One word - 4 letters)
Question 8 of 10
8. The young and handsome Dr. Lance Lawson looked down at Angel. She was so beautiful. He reached down and moved a strand of blond hair from across her face. He had saved her twice from the brink of death. Twice he had revived her and brought her back to the land of the living. Perhaps she would love him now. She owed him her life - surely her love as well. It would be a just reward for the years of yearning and unrequited feelings. But deep down he knew Angel loved the chief surgeon - Dr. Peters.

Answer: (One word - 4 letters)
Question 9 of 10
9. Breck felt safer now as he headed the little boat out to sea. He had never expected to quit on the operation and leave the others stranded on the island. For that matter he had never expected to land in jail. He hoped Charity would forgive him. She had trusted him and would lose all the money she had posted as surety. He had betrayed the one he loved. Things could not really get any worse. Then he noticed the leak. He sighed as he began to scoop the water back over the side of the boat. He had little time left to rescue his men before the killers tried again.

Answer: (One word - 4 letters)
Question 10 of 10
10. Amy-Sue looked at the calendar to see what day it was. She was so excited. She had an engagement tonight with Todd Culpepper and everything was ready. She would not tell Mother what she was doing as she would sabotage her plans yet again. She always did. Amy-Sue sometimes felt she would always be caring for her bitter mother and never find happiness. There was a soft knock on the door. Her escort was here! She would leave quietly and be home before evening medications were due. Just as she reached for the door handle, the hard insistent knocking of her mother's walking stick sounded from the floor above.

Answer: (One word - 4 letters)

An intense fervor gripped him as he headed towards the waterfront. The Mayford Murderer was back!

She had heard Marguerite and her dreadful cohort Fritz discussing how much money was being held in the treasury to pay her ransom. So they expected Clay to come to her rescue.
