It's fine to have several threads in your story. But quit
doubling-back in the story line! Chapter 19 would be a good chapter 16, and that would not 'spoil' the surprise. The surprise is in Chapter 15.
But we're left wondering who is attacking the Marilyn and we want answers - not reminisces of the already past story line!
