Hi Guys
I am working on a new chapter and have a question about point of view. Throughout the book I have three points of view going on. Kate who is the MC and Clay, I'm not sure if I call him a co-MC or what and the judge, who is the protagonist. The sheriff is his co-protagonist. In other words, Kate and Clay have many scenes and the judge and sheriff have many scenes with out Kate and Clay. My outline is in shortened form goes like this:
Starts at jail -is in sheriff's office which is located in same building as the jail. This is a very small town. The sheriff and judge are corrupt. They are trying to force Luke to Manufacture drugs for them. He hates both of them. He tells them he won't do it and the sheriff beats the hell out of him. Luke still says no till they threaten his wife and daughter then he concedes. Judge's POV
next scene Kate and Clay are at Annie's wake. Kate's POV
Next scene Kate is called to the jail by her deputy friend because Luke is beat up and looks to be in a coma. Kate's POV next scene Hospital confrontation between Kate and the judge and sheriff. First from Kate's POV.
then last scene moves to outside the hospital from judge's POV.
My question is can I have all this in one chapter?
Thanks for any input or suggestions.
