I do enjoy catching up with all your stories so please keep writing !
Author's Response: You're very kind.:) Thank you for letting me know you're enjoying them - that means so much to me!:) I hope you will continue to read them for some time to come; thank you for taking the time to comment.:P)

omg!! this was a sizzling chapter-HOT HOT!!! Ihope the peeps will be ok when i read this. i am off today. logged on--my lord there are a ton of new stories here-some from other sites--but i found you. i read the problem about reviewing or mw might go away--not good--i left my review to that! hopefully readers got the hint. watch tsc next week--will be a good one, our boy is in it again. disappointed this past week he wasn't on screen. lol
Author's Response: Hi, dear friend! So glad you found the update. You're right - there's been a huge influx of new stories/authors over here lately. I can't believe mine has been pushed down so far in today's order already, because I just posted it a few hours ago! Great for the site, but I suppose it DOES spread out the readers more, so I'm not sure how that will impact the amount of my own reviews. I DID see your response as well as Lee's to jtsecret's post. I couldn't agree with him more, but honestly, I'm not sure if it will have a lasting impact or not. I hope so, because every review I get means so much to me as you know, and as I mentioned it's the only validation I have that I'm doing something right.:) If I don't get that feedback, the only assumption I can make - right or wrong - is that it's not very good and that definitely deflates and discourages me. Anyway, thank you so much for all your support, lindc, as well as Brian's and Lee's. Your reviews, as well as those from some of my other loyal readers, are so instrumental in motivating me to keep going. And now I'm onto to what may be the last chapter of "Shower Scenes." I'll have to see how wordy I get with that one - LOL! But I'm hoping if I CAN end it, then perhaps I can start on another one.:) Thanks again - hope you and your 'peeps' have a good week!
P.S. I've been watching TSC - yes, disappointed Gale wasn't in it this past week, but I'll be sure to watch this week! Thanks for the heads up.:)

* sigh * Kim this is a wonderful, sensitive, heartwarming chapter, you've outdone yourself. This is marvelous first time.
I wish I could express myself better in english, I want to say more positive things, but don't know the words * sigh *
* big hug *
Author's Response: Hi, Marny! You do just fine, trust me.:) Thanks so much for your kind words - they mean a lot to me.:) I'm glad you liked the chapter; just wait until Daphne gets home and discovers their visitor - ha! Hope things are going well for you, my friend - *big* hug back to you.:)

Phew!! What a way to start out my day. I'm glad I decided to check in before heading off to write. This was amazing, start to finish. The chemistry and combined heat between them just blazed off the screen. It felt so tangible I felt like I was there. Felt, wished - what does it matter? A girl can dream, right?!?
I'm so excited for more of this incredible and original story. The wait for them getting together so much worth it, as always. Amazing update, my friend! :)
Author's Response: Hi, dear! Glad you had a chance to read this one.:) I thought the boys had waited long enough, so I figured I'd better let them move on in their relationship.:) Besides, they've got a certain killer who I fear is not quite done with them yet. I have a feeling, though, that Justin will have some explaining to do when his roommate gets home - LOL! Thanks for leaving me a comment - you know how much that means to me.:) I'll be waiting, BTW, for more of your own wonderful updates.:)

I so love this story. I just hope Carruthers woudn't hurt Justin in any way.
Please update soon....lol
Author's Response: Aw...Thanks, Mariana! I'm so pleased to hear that you're enjoying the story! I promise not to let Carruthers harm Justin - I think the poor man had enough of that with Lane Prescott in "Double Jeopardy!" But I don't promise to not have him placed in at least a little danger - after all, our 'knight in shining armor' has to come and rescue him - and of course Justin might just have to show how much he 'appreciates' it (wink, wink...). Thanks so much for reading and reviewing - I will get this updated very soon.:)
Reviewer: Lionstar16 (Anonymous) · Date: September 13, 2011 11:57 PM · On: Play Ball!
Yes, they've finally kissed! It's amazing how their relationship has developed since the first chapter - I love that in a story. Keep up the good work!
Author's Response: Thank you so much! It is so motivating for me to hear feedback and to know you're enjoying the story. Thanks for the encouragement - I promise to get this updated soon. The boys will be getting to know each other a little better in the next chapter, too.;) Thanks again for reading and reviewing - that means so much to me.:)
Reviewer: Benny (Anonymous) · Date: September 13, 2011 08:16 PM · On: Play Ball!
Hello Kimberly! I want to appologize for falling behind on this wonderful story. Do to a series of unpredicted events, I've found myself taking some summer courses at the local community college. It's surreal, I haven't been inside of a classroom for...quite some time. lol.
I love Brian in this story, letting his feelings graze the surface so early on is very sweet. You are a most gifted writer and I am just in love with this fic. As much as I am enjoying the progression of their budding romance, I can't help but see the angst on the horizon, lol. I'm anxious and excited to read more! -Benny
Author's Response: Hi, Benny - I missed you!:) Always great to hear your thoughts.:) I'm glad you're enjoying this story - thank you so much for your kind words! You're right - there will be two distinct threads woven into the story going forward - the boys' growing/deepening relationship and the angst invovled with the killer. Of course it that might involve some 'deeper bonding' between them as a result (wink, wink), I can't be responsible for that - ha! I will be updating this soon - thanks for all your support.:)
Reviewer: inabluefunk (Anonymous) · Date: September 13, 2011 05:00 PM · On: Play Ball!
I don't know what else to say, except I loved this update. It had a little bit of everything. Isn't Gus adorable? And Brian lost in his thoughts about Justin and his feelings for the blond...
It's just that I am (impatiently I must admit) waiting for the other shoe to drop with Carruthers going after Justin and all.
Keep it up sweetie. *hugs*
Marla
Author's Response: Hi, Marla.:) Thanks for taking the time to review, my friend.:) I really appreciate that. There will definitely be two major threads going on in this story for a while - the boys' deepening relationship and the drama going on with the case (as well as everything in between). Hope you'll continue to follow along with it.:) I will get this updated soon - thanks again for all your readership and support.:)

I'm so sorry I forgot to review the last chapter, hon!
This was great! Loved the ball game. Brian is such a good dad. Poor Justin and his prom flashback, nice tie in BTW.
And am I the only one who is hoping Daphne isn't home?! :)
Author's Response: LOL! I have a distinct feeling that you're not....and you just may get your wish (wink, wink). That being said, though, at the risk of sounding sophomoric, I think Brian may get to run the bases a bit but I don't quite think he'll be 'hitting one out of the park' just yet - after all, I have to leave SOMETHING for you to come back to read, don't I? Ha! Thanks as always for reading and reviewing - I never take reviews or regular readers such as yourself for granted - in fact, I treasure each one greatly.:) Thanks again, my friend.:)

Reviewer: lindc (Anonymous) · Date: September 12, 2011 07:32 AM · On: Play Ball!
wow this was sure worth the wait. soooo good. i'm glad they are taking it rather slow--or slow for brian anyway. i thought the ballgame would have some affect on justin, bats,bats,bats, but i wasn't sure--maybe i'm reading your mind a little or know more how your mind works after reading lots of your stories. really sort of a sad day remembering 9/11. seems that's all that is on t.v. i watched for a while then did some gardening. we are all (our team) off today. glad your father is so much better, he seems to be a strong man-perhaps that's where his daughter gets her fighting spirit from. lol
Author's Response: Thanks, dear friend.:) Yes, it was a sad day. I was relieved nothing else bad happened today with the alerts that were mentioned. It is very painful to watch the footage even after 10 years and still seems almost surreal like it didn't happen. But you know it did. There were so many brave men and women who died that day. Thank you for your concern about my father - he seems to be much better, almost back to normal (at least for now). I'm praying he has many more years to come, but you never know, do you? So you guessed about the bats? I think maybe you're psychic, too - ha! As always, thanks for all your support - it continues to be such a motivator for me.:) Hope you have a great week!:)

Author's Response: LOL! Glad you approve, Pam..:) And I think there's more to come in the next chapter (wink, wink)....I actually tried to include it in this chapter, but when I got to 14,000 words I had to quit - ack! Hope you'll stay tuned, though - they're about to be alone (at least once I can get rid of that pesky Daphne - ha!). Thanks for the feedback.:) I will get this updated very soon.:)
Reviewer: lindc (Anonymous) · Date: September 11, 2011 08:45 AM · On: Preparations and Revelations
while i am waiting for the ball game chapter i have to tell you our good news, bb's and mine. i had asked for some of my vacation time to go to ca. some one told our director why i was going(don't know who) to ca. they called me into the office and asked me if i was contemplating leaving. they were not too happy as we are a good team. i had to tell them of some issues we have that had been reported and not resolved. these things have been going on for six months. we have had to work under some not too osha approved circumstances. i don't know if they thought i would report these things or what--i wouldn't. i'm not a whistle blower, but we had reported these things over and over. good news--got more $$$ after we just got a raise and these issues will be dealt with forthwith, their words. do you thing i have power?? don't know what to make of these proceedings. what do you think. so i guess we are staying here!!!! lol
Author's Response: That's fabulous, lindc! I'm so happy for you and Brian! Now if you can just get Lee to come back soon, it would be great! Your employer is very smart to do what they needed to do to keep you.:) Good for you and Brian! BTW - I'm finishing up the ballgame chapter - I'm almost ashamed to say it will run around 15,000 words - yikes! Not sure why it turned out to be so long, but it did! It's with a friend of mine right now to beta - I will have it posted by tomorrow definitely. Hope you like it! Then it's onto "Shower Scenes." That one should be winding up soon, which will give me more time to update the other stories. Thanks so much for all the support you, Brian, and Lee have given me. And congrats again on the good news!:)
Reviewer: LEE (Anonymous) · Date: September 10, 2011 08:19 AM · On: Preparations and Revelations
going to practice on you again ha! ha! This chapter was very interesting-like how you tie loose ends up before going on to more things, makes for things to flow more evenly in the story. wish i could write like you. i'd write a book or two--just imagine--lindc just laughs at me as she has to help me with my spelling. ha ha. hope your father is ok, my dad has been sick off and on. my accident was very hard for him to take. i'm doing better, so he is too. waiting for hearts desire. is it next? i lose track easily as you have a few wips going. tired now-off to sleep. keep strong for your father. prayers for him from me to you. g-nite.
Author's Response: You are so special, my friend.:) You can practice your typing skills on my stories anyday! I am glad to report that my father got to come home today! He is doing well, considering he couldn't even speak coherently yesterday afternoon. This is the 3rd or 4th TIA he has had; I just pray he doesn't have a much stronger stroke or heart attack that incapacitates him one day. He has had a heart valve replaced so I always worry about that. I want to thank you and lindc for your prayers - I really appreciated that! I'm sorry to hear about your own father - I'm sure he is doing better now just knowing that you are getting well. As far as the stories go, the next one up (technically) is "Shower Scenes." That one is is winding down - I see maybe one or two more chapters to that one before it's done. Then I will only 3 WIPs to work on, which should help me to update a lot faster. But... I really wanted to at least get to the ballgame with the boys in "Paper Hearts," so I am making an exception and writing an additional chapter for that one first. Only I could write a chapter with 6,800 words and only just now get to the 'good part' of the game - ha! But I'm working on it! I should be able to get it posted sometime tomorrow. Thanks again for all your support - I will continue to keep you in my thoughts and prayers, also.:)

Author's Response: Thank you, Marny! I just talked to my mom at the hospital - he's doing well.:) May even get to come home today, which is a big relief. Thanks so much for your concern, my friend. And as always, thanks for reading and leaving feedback. I'm working on the next chapter - I have about half of it already written, though - I'm hoping to have it posted either later tonight or tomrorow.

wonderful building chapter. we were wondering about carruthers, slime that he is. he has his own agenda tho. the ballgame will come. tell your readers(some of them) to be patient. this story has to be told step by step. if they don't want to wait--don't read. my god give us a break!! i'm really so sorry about your dad. we all hope he will be ok. our prayers are with your famly. we love you, you know that. lol
Author's Response: Thank you, my friends. I am very honored by that.:) My dad apparently made it okay during the night, because we didn't get any phone calls from ICU. My brother is on his way over there right now (It's about 7:00 a.m). We're cautiously optimistic that he will be okay - he seemed quite lucid when I saw him yesterday, especially considering how he was earlier when he couldn't even speak. I really appreciate your prayers, and I'm still writing, BTW - it gives me much-needed relaxation, especially now! I CAN tell you that I'm already up to 4,500 words and they are definitely at the ballgame - what they've been doing up until then I have no idea! How do I get so wordy? LOL! Thanks again for all your support and friendship - it means so much to me, as well as your prayers.:)
Reviewer: inabluefunk (Anonymous) · Date: September 09, 2011 05:42 AM · On: Preparations and Revelations
How stupid can people become when they are afraid, I mean come on!
Sweetie, you are stalling on the Brian/Justin coupling and though it is acceptable in the storyline, we really need to see them together sooner rather than later.
As for Carruthers, I bet you have him escaping the hospital at some point and going after Justin, don't you? Well all I hope is that finally Carruthers is gonna go down by the hand of one mighty Brian Kinney while saving the love of his life from the clutches of a psychopath. *too much Criminal Minds huh? LOL*
Great story honey, but I do want to read the Saturday game day with the boys and Gus.
Marla
Author's Response: (Sigh).. I'm trying to get them there, honest! I was just up to over 9,000 words on this chapter and sometimes I feel like people lose interest when the chapters get to be so long. So rather than try and write it into this chapter and make it way too long, I had to break it up. If it's any consolation, I'm writing the next chapter now and I CAN verify they are definitely at the stadium with Gus. I have about 3,700 words of it written but haven't gotten anywhere near where I want to be yet. I know everyone is anxious for them to be together, but I'm trying to be true to what I feel a realistic storyline would be, so I don't really look at it as 'stalling.' They just rescued Gus from a horrendous situation; I don't think neither of them are quite ready to just jump into bed together - it wasn't too long ago that they didn't even trust each other.:) I hope you understand. I'm beginning to think most readers just prefer the stories that are short and sweet, and obviously mine don't tend to be that way. I guess I just like angst too much. Thanks as always, though, for reading and commenting, Marla. You're so good about doing that regularly and I really do appreciate it.) I'm going to try and get the next part posted by tomorrow, but my 79-year-old father was hospitalized earlier today with a possible mild stroke, so obviously my main concern is with him at the moment.
Reviewer: Dioramanya (Anonymous) · Date: September 08, 2011 10:23 PM · On: Preparations and Revelations
What I don't get, it's why put 2 rookies cops on a case like this one? The suspect's identity has to be kept secret. Carl know that there's a mole. He could have ask someone he trust and with experience in this job.
I wish that their lack of foresight would be discovered, and soon.
Gus was enough traumatised. Don't you think ? Enough drama and more fun for Gus, Brian and Justin. XD Yeah !
Author's Response: Hello, my friend - thanks for reading and for the review.:) Actually, Satterwhite isn't a rookie, only Rogers. And I definitely don't plan on Gus being put into any danger any more if that's any comfort. I DO see the boys possibly being in danger, however. I hope you're enjoying the story so far (?). Thank you for the review. I should have the ballgame part up shortly - was planning on doing it tonight, but my father was taken to ICU this afternoon and apparenty had a slight TIA (stroke). So it will probably be delayed somewhat Thank you again for leaving feedback.

I had no idea this was updated.
Just when you think it's safe to go back into the water...
I have a feeling this guy is like a Freddy Krueger wannabe. I can't wait to see what happens. This is really getting good!
Author's Response: Thank you again for being such a consistent reader and reviewer for me! I so appreciate your loyalty - reviews are really the main reason, in addition to my love of these boys, why I continue to write and they mean so much. As far as the story, you're right - I fear we haven't seen the last of the killer, especially now that he knows about both Justin and Brian. The interesting part will be to see just how much, if anything, Justin can predict before it happens. In the meantime, I think I promised my readers a nice little side trip to the ballpark with little Gus (wink, wink)... That will definitely be coming up in the next chapter. Thanks again for following my story - you are very kind.:)

Glad to see an update ... I love this story so much ... I want a movie of this story. Oh ohwww plesase let him die before he could say a word.

Author's Response: Hey, Marny! So great to hear from you! Hope you and the girls had a wonderful time.:) Thanks for the kind words - I wish I could say the killer's all done but what would be the 'fun' in that, angst-wise? If it's any consolation, I will be providing a little much-needed break for the boys in the next chapter when they take Gus to the ballgame where they will continue their quest to get to know each other better before the next drama occurs. Thanks so much for reading and reviewing as always - you get a *big* welcome back hug!:)

I foresee many troubles in the lives of our beloved boys!
I did not really want for Justin and Brian to go through that evening, but unfortunately life does not come easy, so I sucked it up.
However, I would like to see the couple coming together BEFORE all hell breaks loose.
Great job sweetie cant wait for the update.
Marla
Author's Response: Hi, Marla! So wonderful to hear from you again.:) I promise to take the boys on a much-needed break from all the drama before the next bout of problems occur.:) And they will be continuing to deepen their relationship (maybe I can sneak in a few introductory kisses, hopefully - have to divert Gus first, though, somehow! I think I see a little boy being returned to the munchers after the game so the boys can be alone (wink, wink...)). Thanks so much for leaving feedback - I really appreciate that.:)
Reviewer: Daphne (Anonymous) · Date: August 19, 2011 09:56 AM · On: Reliving The Horror
Uh-oh. I sense the trouble this case has caused it not quite done yet. Now he knows Justin's name, and that's not a good thing.
You're crafting a doozy here, sweetie!
Author's Response: Hi, Daphne! Thanks so much for reading and commenting!:) Yeah, I think the killer's not finished yet, especially now that he is privy to who helped find him and get him shot, at least indirectly. Remember we are dealing with a crazy person here, too....And how much if any of the killer's movements will Justin be able to detect before events actually happen? Hmmm...Thanks for the kind words, my friend - I promise to get this updated just as soon as I can.
Reviewer: Kacey (Anonymous) · Date: August 18, 2011 08:08 AM · On: A New Light
This is so, so good. I love all the detail you put in the chapter, especially the thoughts of Brian and Justin. Will Carruthers live or die? Will Justin have to testify? Will Brian tackle Justin to the floor and have his way with him? If Carruthers lives, I hope he confesses and spares Justin from giving testimony. Look forward to tthe next chapter. Thanks.
Author's Response: Hi, Kacey! Thank you so much for the comments! I loved the way you asked all those angst-filled, dramatic questions and then threw in that one about Brian throwing Justin to the floor to 'have his way with him' right in the middle - so funny! I CAN promise in the next chapter that they will have their long-awaited 'date' at the ball stadium, and I will do my best to throw in some handholding, touching, and maybe a few (finally!) stolen kisses when they're able to, but that darn kid's going to make it pretty hard to do much else without another babysitter - rats! But they will definitely be moving in the right direction and hopefully I can arrange for Gus to be dropped off afterward back at the munchers, which would leave our boys alone (finally!). I think they deserve a ltitle down time after all the tension-filled drama lately. But danger's just around the corner again! Thanks so much for reading, Kacey - I am very greateful.:)

I don't know the average age of your readers and reviewers, but I am of the older generation. I just, in reading this, have relived one of the most horrible things in my life. My nephew was kidnapped and killed by a horrible man who, by the way, is rotting in prison for life. This man in your story needs to be treated the same. The stats in these crimes are very high. Some are institionalized as they are insane and some go to prison. I don't review as a rule but this one is worth a review. Your writing is very good. I taught school for many years and know good writing when I see it. I am a PFLAG grandma. My grandson is out and proud and introduced me to this site. We watched QAF together when it was on t.v. I will be waiting to see where this maniac ends up.
Author's Response: Hello, Jean-Ann.:) First of all, please let me offer my sincerest condolences over the death of your nephew. I cannot begin to comprehend the pain that event must have caused you and your family, and I'm sure still causes you. I am very honored that you took the time to leave me a review. I'm not sure I would have had the same courage that you are showing by even being willing to read this story that no doubt hits very close to home, much less have the foresight and consideration to leave me your thoughts. For that I am very grateful to you and I am humbled by both your kindness and your words. Even though there will be a deepening relationship between Brian and Justin in this story as a subplot, I promise to treat this subject matter with the seriousness it deserves. Thank you for your thoughts - I appreciate that more than you know.:)~Kimberly

Oh, why can't that bastard just die?! Okay, I know that's too easy. Of course, Carruthers being alive and having to go to trial means more angst for Justin. Which means more comfort from Brian. Which means...you see where I'm going with this? :)
Can't wait for the ball game with Gus! I think the boys will be able to relax around each other in a fun environment.
Author's Response: Hi, my friend, yeah, you and me both! I'm anxious to move onto more 'pleasurable' matters just like you and boys are; I promise to get that started in the next chapter.:) I think the boys could use a little break right about now before the drama gets restarted again....thanks so much for so faithfully reading and reviewing, Megan Rose!:)~Kimberly

just up drinking coffee, trying to wake up. raining here so it's hard to get awake. i do better with sun. i'm using my next door neighbor's computer. bb has mine so he can read to lee when i'm not there. this chapter is wonderful. i knew you'd probably not kill the bastard off. hope he doesn't stand trial--just find him insane and trundle him off to a rubber room somewhere. DON'T (PLEASE) HAVE SHORTER CHAPTERS. I LOOOOOVE THE LONG CHAPTERS. you can release your muse much better in long angst-ridden descriptive chapters. WE ARE STILL READING. DON'T FEEL LONELY. lol
Author's Response: Hi, dear - what you are doing up already?? I could have sworn you just went home to rest! (You probably did - with two shifts you're getting what? Two, three hours sleep??). Thanks as always for the input. Yes, I decided to keep Carruthers alive, at least for the time being. I'm not done playing with him yet - too much angst-filled opportunities to just kill him off. And it will be interesting to see how much of his movements and emotions Justin can detect with his psychic ability. As far as the chapter lengths, I probably couldn't do a short one if my life depended on it, at least for most stories anyway, so not much fear of that. It just seems like there's more reviews for the short stories, so I figured unless my writing sucks the chapters must just be too long for most people to handle. But do not fear - I probably couldn't shorten them even if I wanted to!:) Thanks so much for all your kindness - hope you and the 'peeps' are all back together soon.:)

Author's Response: Hi, Kemma - You're so consistent and faithful about leaving a review - I appreciate that so much.:) I know, I know - I'm working on the 'spontaneous combustion' between the two boys - LOL! But doesn't the wait make it all the better when it DOES get here? (Okay, I thought I'd try that anyway - ha!). I promise to put most of the drama on hold next chapter while the boys and Gus go to the doubleheader. I promise a little more flirting and maybe some stolen kisses here and there if I can divert Gus's attention long enough (or maybe he'd be a nice instigator)...mmm..I'll have to give that some thought!:) I'm so glad you're enjoying the story, Kemma; thank you so much for the review and for reading.:) I promise to update this soon.:)~Kimberly

HAD A COUPLE HOURS DOWN TIME, SO THOUGHT I'D SEE WHAT WAS LURKING HERE. WAS HAPPY TO SEE A NEW CHAPTER OF PHK. SAW LINDC A WHILE AGO SHE WAS ON HER WAY HOME. SHE LET ME BORROW HER LAPTOP AS MINE IS HOME. SHE LOOKED BEAT. WORKING TOO MANY DOUBLES. HOPE SHE DOESN'T GET SICK. LEE DOING WELL. HAD HIS LAST OPERATION. HE WANTS TO GO HOME. DON'T KNOW WHEN THAT WILL BE. SAID HE SPENDS ENOUGH TIME HERE WHEN WORKING. WANTS A DIFFERENT ENVIRONMENT TO RECOUP. TOUGH KID. LATER
Author's Response: Hi, my friend - so glad to hear from you! (I was getting a little lonely over here)...I'm beginning to think no one likes the long chapters I write....guess I need to revert back to shorter ones? :( Anyway, so delighted to hear that Lee is doing well; please give him my best and tell him I hope he gets to recuperate at home very soon. Yeah, last I heard from lindc it sounded like she was working a lot of double shifts - I feel sorry for her; that must be very hard.
As far as the killer goes, I vascillated between letting him die and keeping him alive; you've probably ascertained that I'm leaning toward the latter - I think that makes for much better drama (of course, that could ALSO mean long chapters again, which might not be a good thing....!). At any rate, thank you so much for leaving me feedback - you guys are so great about that and I really appreciate the support. It's been really slow over here review-wise with my stories lately so you know what happens - uh, oh...insecurity is rearing its ugly head again - LOL! Thanks again - tell lindc I hope she can get off the merry-go-round at work soon! Take care.:)

I'm still anxious to learn more about the killer. It looks like Justin has a way to go to fully trust Brain. It will be interesting to see how this plays out.
Author's Response: Thank you for the comments and for reading! I really appreciate that.:) I will probably be including more of Carother's background in the next chapter, which I will be working on very soon - this story is up next for updating after "Parent Trap." I have a plot idea for this story that will most likely involve the killer remaining alive instead of killing him off, so I hope you'll stay tuned. Not only will the boys be getting to know each other better but there will be some twists and turns that will be a surprise to most people. Thanks again for taking the time to comment/review!:)

HI, MY FAVORITE WRITER!!! I AM REALLY SORRY FOR THE LATE REVIEW, BUT I WAS ON VACATION (FOR MORE THAN 3 WEEKS) AND I DID NOT HAVE AN ACCESS TO INTERNET!!! WHAT TO BE SAID??? ANOTHER AMAZING CHAPTER!! KEEP ON THE SAME PACE AND RHYTHM!!! THE WAY BRIAN TOUCHED THE HAND OF JUSTIN .....MMM!!!! I LIKED THIS MOMENT !!! I LIKED ALSO THE FEELINGS OF BRIAN...I WILL BE WAITING FOR THE NEXT CHAPTER IN WHICH (I SUPPOSE) BRIAN CAN KISS AND TOUCH THE BEAUTIFUL JUSTIN NON STOP!!! HA-HA!!! P. S.1 I FOUND BY CHANCE SOME FANFICTION ABOUT F. MULDER AND A.KRYCEK WHICH WAS SLASH(M/M)...I FELT VERY STRANGE AT FIRST...ALTHOUGH THE FIC WAS VERY WELL WRITTEN...MAYBE I CANNOT ACCEPT THE FACT THAT FOXY M. CAN DO SUCH THINGS....FOX IS STRAIGHT!( IN MY OWN FANFIC FOX IS HETERO DESPITE THE FACT MANY OF MY CHARACTERS ARE BI AND HOMOS!) P.S.2 I BECAME ADDICTED TO ADAM L.'S FANFICTION BUT THIS IS ANOTHER STORY.... P.S.3 PLEASE, UPDATE SOON!!!!!!!! BEST REGARDS: EVELYNE
Author's Response: Hi, Eveylne - so great to hear from you again! I can't imagine being without a computer for three weeks - I had some issues just for a week trying to keep my stories updated when I only had my netbook to use and it drove me nuts - definitely threw off my udpating schedule, but I'm back on track now.:) Thank you for the 'favorite writer' designation - I am so honored by that, my friend.:) I will definitely be updating this story shortly - I am almost done with the next installment of "My Heart's Desire" and I think this one's up next after the next chapter of "Parent Trap," so I would say it should be updated within a few days.:) And yes, the boys will most definitely be getting to know each other better in the next chapter while the killer's survival lies in the balance.
As far as Mulder and Krychek, I was aware there are a lot of slash stories abounding about them, but after the man killed his father and was such a sleaze bag to both him and Scully, I have a hard time, too, seeing them as a couple. But of lot of people like Mulder with the "bad boy" - ha! Personally, I agree with you - I prefer Mulder and Scully together.:) Thanks again for the comments, my friend - good to have you back! ~Kimberly

Wonderful update! I am enjoying this story more with each passing chapter, the way you write is so intricate, it really amazes me. I feel completely pulled into the story. :) Glad that Gus is alright, and loved Brian holding Justin's hand, cute! -Benny
Author's Response: Hi, Benny! Thank you for the very kind comments!:) I'm so pleased that you're enjoying the story!:) The boys will definitely be bonding more as each chapter goes on, including the ballgame with Gus.:) Not quite sure yet what to do with the killer - I'm still 'batting' that around - ha!

Author's Response: Hi, Marny! *Hugs* back to you! I think I'm on a more regular updating scheduling now (finally!). I'm glad you liked this (huge!) chapter.:) Now I can work on the boys bonding more closely in the next chapter - maybe while Gus 'plays ball," so can the boys - LOL!

Great chapter! RL has been crazy for me so I haven't been able to keep up with reading and commenting, but now I'm back! Can't wait to see Brian and Justin at the baseball game with Gus :). BTW, I'm sooo jealous you saw "Tommy"! I'm now regretting that I didn't try to go, but being a student I have practically zero money (though lots and lots of debt!) and, unfortunately, none of my friends in RL have joined the QAF obsession. I'm happy you got to go though -- I saw your pictures/video online and it looked like a blast (and Randy looked absolutely gorgeous!). Thanks! :)
Author's Response: Hi, Kemma - Thanks so much for the feedback! And I'm glad you liked the photos and video.:) If you want to PM me, I actually two videos of him from the show where's he singing - not the greatest in spots - there's a darn bar that cuts off his head in spots (argh!) but when he's in close up mode on that one, it's pretty terrific (at least I humbly think so), and the sound is good. Of course, there's a lot of other videos from the show floating around if you know where to look so you may have already seen him. He definitely has a beautiful voice to go with that beautiful face (and other parts that shall remain nameless - LOL!)...You're from the Midwest? We must be neighbors, then - I'm in Ohio.:) Yes, in the next chapter there will definitely be some more bonding between the boys and some "Gus cuteness." Speaking of which, hold onto your cotton candy because I think I have a one-shot coming up soon that involves Gus and his father in an unlikely situation - and a certain blond of course....thanks again for all your loyalty to my stories - I am very honored as well as grateful:)

Author's Response: Hi, Marla! So great to hear from you - you and the other reviewers get the perseverence award for tackling this very long chapter - LOL!

Thank goodness you post at a couple of different places because dam LJ has been down for several days now. What a great chapter Brian is coming under the spell of a sunshine boy and he being drawn to the warmth. Brian will do his utmost to protect Justin from the media vultures. Hugs Chris
Author's Response: Hi, Chris - yeah, I've tried off and on to access the site and have had only limited luck - finally managed to post it over there late last night (in two parts, BTW, because of the length - aargh!), but when I try to get back on I can't....so glad you found it over here and managed to read this humongous chapter - ha! Yes, I definitely see some bonding coming up in the next chapter at the ballgame along with some initial intimacy (some more groping and a few stolen kisses here and there perhaps first?). And I'm still debating what to do with Carothers - I kind of like not killing him off - at least right away - because of the angst plot possibilities there...poor Justin will need some 'comforting' for sure - wink, wink..... Thanks very much for the feedback, my friend - I'm very grateful.:)

please...lol

Author's Response: Hi, Charle - thanks for plowing through that humongous chapter - LOL! It just grew and grew to be a monster....:) Yes, I see all sorts of interesting things happening in the next chapter - some cuteness with Gus at the ballgame while they 'bond' (can anyone say "play ball?" - ha!), some comforting on Brian's part over Justin's anxiety about having to testify, as well as some suspicion regarding the police's diligence - or lack thereof - in investigating the killer more thoroughly until a cop's son was involved, and quite possibly a kiss or two thrown in during the next chapter - hmmm.....All sorts of thoughts swirling around in my head here...And there's the matter of what to do with Carothers - the killer you feel sorry for but can't condone. Not sure yet what I'll do with him, but I'm leaning toward one option right now that I won't divulge yet.....Thanks so much for leaving me your thoughts, my friend. And now I'm off to a little "TLC!":)
Reviewer: Megan Rose (Signed) · Date: July 27, 2011 10:41 AM · On: A New Light
Love this chapter. Glad little Gus is okay. I'm so glad Brian is finally seeing Justin, not as some quack, but as a real person, with real feelings. I'd be all nervous, too, if I was Justin. But we know Brian will protect him. I heart Daphne so much! And I'm glad the moms didn't make a huge fuss and were just grateful.
Am I the only one who finds the boys with Gus at a baseball game really, really sweet? Can't wait to see that!
Author's Response: Hi, Megan Rose! That was a long chapter, wasn't it? Whew! Well, I agree with you for one about the ball game - that's why I wrote it in. I think it will make for some Gus 'cuteness' while giving the boys some bonding time.:) Thanks very much for reading and for the feedback. And now I think it's onto a little "TLC" and a certain hashing out between a Chief of Staff and Chief Surgeon...:)
Reviewer: lindc & the peeps (Anonymous) · Date: July 27, 2011 10:28 AM · On: A New Light
such a good chapter. love the interplay between our boys. glad gus is going home and the girls didn't interrogate justin, just thankful for the outcome. BB hanging on every word. he loves this story so much. we hope carothers pulls through and takes responsibility for his actions. lee says he will not stand trial, even if he lives because he is insane. he thinks they will put him in an asylum somewhere. where are you taking us next on our story sojurn. lol
Author's Response: LOL! I was just about to put all this to bed when I noticed your review - I should have guessed you would read it first.:) Tell all the other peeps hello for me. I'll have to doublecheck but I think "TLC" is next. I keep saying it, but that one HAS to be winding down at some point. I think I said that about three chapters ago, though - ha! So great as always to hear from you guys. I guess I'm finally wound down from my "Randy" high of a couple weeks ago (sigh..). So glad I had the chance to hear him sing, though - what a voice! I'm not sure yet, BTW, what I'm going to do with Carothers, but I tend to agree with Lee - I think he's too far gone to actually stand trial, which would be a relief to Justin anyway. But now I have the chance for the boys to get to know each other 'better' (wink, wink...). Thanks as always for reading - I'll get to work on "TLC" starting tomorrow.:)

Sweetie I read through this story today and I love it. I am a freak when it comes to mystery, thriller, drama stories.
I cant wait for the coupling update of the boys.
Marla
Author's Response: Thanks for reading, Marla! I'm very glad you had a chance to try this one out and like it! I just returned from being away for a week - saw Randy in "Tommy" three times and LOVED it! What an amazing, beautiful singing voice he has!! I had limited computer access there but I'm back on track now. I'm currently working on the next chapter of "My Heart's Desire" and hope to get that up soon. I think this story may be up next after that (or "Parent Trap," I'll have to check - ack!). Anyway, I promise to get this updated soon. Thanks so much for reading and for the feedback. The boys obviously have a lot of "getting acquainted" to do (wink, wink...P).
Reviewer: Lionstar16 (Anonymous) · Date: July 13, 2011 03:57 PM · On: Aftermath
Another great chapter - I'm so glad Gus is already and that Brian's agony is over. I agree that the pace of your story is good - sometimes when I'm reading fanfiction I get bored when the storyline is dragging out. Can't wait to see Brian and Justin get together - well done!
Author's Response: Thank you so much for reading and for your feedback.:) I really appreciate that. I suppose there's always a fine line between dragging out a story and not filling in enough of the details; hopefully, I've managed to accomplish that in this story. And the boys will definitely be 'getting to know each other' better soon...Thanks again for taking the time to review - I will get this story udpated just as soon as possible.:)
Reviewer: LibertySun (Signed) · Date: July 09, 2011 01:45 AM · On: Aftermath
I'm more than content spending the day catching up with your words. This is such an amazingly engrossing fic. I really feel like I'm watching a movie. It is full of all the dark things I love more than I probably should. :P And, as always adding your writing talent into the mix doesn't hurt! I am relieved that Gus is saved. I'm excited for Justin to continue to, in a sense save Brian from his closed mindedness. Wonderful depth to this my dear, great.
Author's Response: Again, thank you so much, Mandi! I'm very honored by your kind words.:) I appreciate it so much - and I'm so glad you're back to writing again!:)
Reviewer: Kacey (Anonymous) · Date: July 08, 2011 08:15 AM · On: Aftermath
Compelling chapter. Brian's devotion to his son really comes through. In fact, everyone's thoughts and feelings about the experience were described in a way that pushed the story forward. Excellent. Hearing the killer's reasons for doing what he did is sure to be interesting. And, of course, anticipating B/J's next interaction. Thanks!
Author's Response: Thank you, Kacey! I appreciate your feedback, and I'm glad you liked the chapter. I should be delving more into Carruther's thoughts and motives shortly, probably in the next chapter. Thanks again for reading, my friend.:)
Reviewer: Gainsboro (Signed) · Date: July 06, 2011 06:06 AM · On: Aftermath
I always love your update.
I can't wait to see the next part. You know, I addicted to this story. I always like the way you write. Never rush the plot but also not draging it around so it become boring.
Thank you for the update.
Author's Response: Aw...what a sweet thing to say - thank you, Fei! I am very honored you're enjoying the story.:) I hated to have to pause in a way to concentrate more on the moms, but in light of Gus's condition I knew it had to be done at the expense of our favorite boys (sigh..). But do not fear, I definitely see them back together in the next chapter. Thank you so much for all the kind words - I really appreciate them as well as your continuing readership.:) I will get this story updated just as soon as I can - shouldn't be too long.:) Thanks again:)

Author's Response: LOL! Thanks for letting me know - I doubt if she'll be as cute as these two boys together, though! Yes, I've got most of my packing done - have to wrap up a few things before I leave Thursday - getting so excited! I'm working on "TLC" today - I'm about halfway done, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed I'll have it posted before I leave.:) BTW - have you seen the 1:14 You Tube video of Randy practicing for Tommy? OMG - I'm really getting excited now! Here's the link: https://www.youtube.com/user/BerkshireTheatre#p/a/u/0/T0xfpsnq6Yg. Check it out when you get a chance.
I will be sure to give you an update on the show after I see it next Monday - will probably have to post it on my LJ page, though - it's under the same author name (predec2), unless you want to PM me and give me an email address and I'll send you a personal email update - just let me know!

hi, my dear writer!!! i am happy that you updated your story again!!! i have been waiting for 2 weeks for a new update!! your last 2 chapters are brilliant as usually!!!!! i am dying with curiosity what it will happen next!! i hope you will update soon!!! i noticed that you respond to every readers'comment personally which is very kind of you!!! thank you!!! by the way, is there any connection to the title of last chapter " aftermath" and the single of the singer Adam Lambert(who i like !!)??? or this is a wrong "hypothesis"??? what to be said?? i simply have no words to express my pleasure reading your fanfic!!! best regards: evelyne
Author's Response: Hi, Evelina! Always a delight to hear from you - thank you for reading this latest chapter and for leaving feedback!:) To answer your question about Adam Lambert, no, I didn't even realize he had a song by that name - I certainly know of him, being a big fan of American Idol, but I admit I have not been following his career lately. He does have a really nice singing voice, though.
I'm so glad you're enjoying this story; I'm hoping I will be winding up a couple of my current WIPs shortly ("TLC" and "Shower Scenes"), so I hope that will allow me to speed my other stories up just a little more.:) Thank you, by the way, for noticing that I try to answer each review. I know it's take longer to do that, but I feel if readers take the time to leave me a comment, the least I as the author can do is acknowledge it and answer any questions they may have. Feedback such as yours is the main motivation for me to keep writing, so I treasure each one I get.:) In the next chapter, Brian and Justin will definitely be back together - I see them meeting up at the police station when Justin has to go down to give his statement, and a certain police detective has a lot of "gratitude" to express. I also plan on revealing more about the killer's motives, either in the next chapter or the one after that (depends upon how wordy I get - ha!).
Thank you again for all your support, Evelina, I really appreciate that!:) And BTW - I think I told you before, but I'm a big XFiles fan, too - always LOVED Mulder and Scully together!!:)

“Yeah, Mel, I sat with my feet propped up on my desk eating a donut while he honed in on Gus’s aura until the vision came to him; he’s also really good at card tricks.”
I loved the hospital confrontation with the mothers.
It was a good thing Justin had Daphne to take care of him.
I was a very good chapter even without the action and b/j.
Author's Response: Hi, Sandra! LOL! Yeah, I had to throw in a few words of mutual 'love' between Mel and Brian; even in such a tense situation I really can't see her changing all that much - she wasn't the most lovable character on the show, was she? Ha! I promise in the next chapter that the boys' relationship will begin to emerge as they compare notes on what happened. I think they both have to come to grips with the night they rescued Gus, and Brian has a lot of 'gratitude' as well as crow-eating to express to Justin (wink, wink...). Thanks as always for reading and reviewing, my friend.:)

This was really nice. I love Daphne, she's such a great friend to and for Justin. And I'm still dying to find out Caruthers story, especially now that we know he's the son of a cop!
More, darling, more!!
Author's Response: Thanks, Megan Rose! I had to stop long enough to acknowledge the two mothers due to Gus being hospitalized; but you can rest assured that we will see the beginning of a deeper relationship between the two boys starting in the next chapter.:) Thanks so much for reading and reviewing, my friend!:)

I'M SURE YOU WILL EDUCATE US IN DUE TIME. HAPPY 4TH OF JULY. YOU REALLY NEED TO WRITE A BOOK.
Author's Response: LOL! So great to hear from you, BB, but sorry to hear about your bad luck with your computer - and a new one, too? ACK! Sounds like the kind of luck that I've had with MY new ones - the last desktop I had kept going into hibernation mode and I couldn't get it back out...had to return it for another model (thankfully it was still in the return period...!). And my laptop that I normally write from typically overheats and shuts off without warning...so I feel your pain! Yes, I will be explaining more why the man turned into a crazy psychopath....and I promise that Brian will begin to show his 'proper appreciation' for a certain blond beginning with the next chapter.:) Thank you, my friend, for taking the time to leave a review - and hope you also have tomorrow like lindc.

I promise to reunite the little blond psychic and his 'very grateful' detective in the next chapter. Now that Gus is better, in between learning more about the killer's motives, I can finally let the boys 'get to know each other better' (wink, wink....!).

i am a friend of one of your faithful readers lindc. i just arrived from austria. i was working in hospital as a or nurse. i have been reading some b/j sites. we had a get together the other day at her hospital. we found we are reading some same sites. she asked me to read your work as she is so obsessed with your stories. i have read some of your finished stories 3 to be correct. i must say she is so correct in her appraisal of your writing. i realky enjoy this one and tlc. i guess we have an affinity because of what we do. just thought i'd review. this story was what i think you call a nail-biter. the chapter where they find gus left me a sad and then a happy person. am looking for a job. hopefully i can work in lindc's hospital. i have some interviews next week. keep up your writings. they are a bright spot on this site. you will be hearing from me again.
Author's Response: Aw...thank you so much, Julie! I'm going to have to start paying lindc a commission for getting readers to read my stories - LOL! I'm so delighted that you're enjoying them.:) That is really the only reason why I write them - knowing that others enjoy them.:) That is too funny, though, that you and lindc found out you have been reading the same type of stories! There's just something about these boys that so intrigues me, not to mention they're so hot together! What chemistry! This story is quite a departure from what I normally write, although "Double Jeopardy" was pretty dark as well. I do write some 'fluff' from time to time, but I seem to navigate toward the angsty stories before I give the boys a happy ending (always!).:) Thank you so much for taking the time to review and let me know you're enjoying the stories - that means a lot to me. And GOOD LUCK on your job search - lindc and her 'peeps' have been so supportive of me and they sound like a great group to work with - I hope you're successful in obtaining a job there and then they can include you in their 'story time!' Ha! I will be updating "TLC" next, BTW. Thanks again, Julie - I hope I DO hear more from you again - I'm very honored.

Oh my god! I'm so sorry for being late to read this!
I was so scared while I read this chapter. I kept on thinking what will happen next. What will happen to Gus?
I'm glad Gus is save from that dangerous murderer.
I will wait for what happen next. Thanks for your wonderful update!
This is really made my day!
Author's Response: Thank you so much, Fei! I am so delighted that you like this story! I am actually in the process of working on the next chapter - I've started it but it will probably be a day or two before I'm done with it. But it should be updated very shortly. Thanks so much for reading and commenting!:)
Reviewer: no sleep (Signed) · Date: June 22, 2011 05:21 AM · On: Resolve and Rescue
I knew that Gus was going to be unharmed and Iwas still anxious reading this. Good build up of suspense!
I would love to see more stories of Brian as a cop. It seems to fit his personality.
Author's Response: Thanks, Sandra! So glad you enjoyed this chapter! I agree - I think Brian makes a great cop - one of those in your face, "I don't go by the book" types who always manages to go against typical procedure and always come out ahead anyway. I'll have to maybe think up some other story with him as some other sort of cop in the future.:) Thanks so much for reading and reviewing! This story will go on for a while yet - I have a lot of loose ends to tie up, most importantly how Brian is going to express his "appreciation" to a certain blond (wink, wink...). Thanks again, my friend!:)

my goodness. what a story this is. one of my friends introduced me to this site. you are quite the writer. this story is very different from others i have read here. this is really a good story. you keep your readers hanging off a cliff at the end of your chapters. this is think is very good writing as it keeps readers very interested and waiting and wanting more.
Author's Response: Hi, Claudia! So glad you discovered this site - welcome! Thanks for reading and reviewing my story - I am very appreciative of your kind words!:) Yes, this one was quite a departure from what I normally write - I have a few stories that I would consider mainly fluff, but most of my mine contain quite a bit of angst woven in to make the story a little more interesting. Besides, I always think that if we have to wait a while for the boys' attraction to grow, it makes their eventual union that much hotter and more satisfying (wink, wink).....This one, though, IS darker than most of mine (the only other one of mine I would put in that category is "Double Jeopardy.") But the idea of placing Gus in danger with the idea of Brian having to trust someone he really doesn't believe in at first was too good an idea to pass up. I hope you'll continue to read the rest of the story - I'm anal about updating very regularly and normally do it in a rotation (oldest to newest story), so they're all updated fairly quickly. Thanks again for reading - hope to hear more of your comments in the future!:)

INTENSE -- great chapter! So glad to see everyone safe! Now I can't wait until the fireworks happen between Brian and Justin -- I think Brian "owes" Justin for saving his son's life ;)
Author's Response: Ha! Hi, Kemma - I couldn't agree more! And I think poor Justin must be traumatized by what he experienced, don't you? I think Brian needs to 'comfort' him in the way that only HE can do - LOL! Thanks so much for reading and reviewing - I still have to get the boys (much) closer together and do something with the tortured child killer....! Thanks again - hope you'll stay tuned for the rest of the story.:)

JUST OFF WORK. HAD A FEW MINUTES TO READ AND REVIEW. THIS STORY IS JUST AMAZING. I HAD TO READ TO MYSELF AS LINDC IS RECUPERATING AT HOME AND LEE IS SLEEPING. IT'S NOT QUITE THE SAME READING WHILE HALF AWAKE BUT IT GAVE ME A SECOND WIND AND I WAS SO IMMERSED I GUESS I FORGOT HOW TIRED I WAS. THANK GOD GUS WON'T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED AND BRIAN CAN COME BACK TO EARTH AND CALM DOWN. IT WILL BE INTERESTING TO SEE HOW NOW HE BELIEVES IN JUSTIN'S GIFT. THE NEXT CHAPTERS WILL BEGIN A NEW RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN OUR TWO STARS. OFF TO BED NOW. LTY
Author's Response: Hi, Brian! Thanks for the comments! lindc told me she had "instructed" you to review in her absence - LOL! I'm so glad you liked it, my friend.:) And you're right - they will definitely be 'getting to know each other better' in the next few chapters, now that Brian can stop agonizing over his son's safety. Thanks as always for reading and reviewing - and thanks to you, lindc, and Lee for your dedication to your jobs.:) I'm working on the next chapter of "TLC" - hope to have that one posted either today or tomorrow. Thanks again - take care and get some much-deserved rest:)
Reviewer: lindc (Anonymous) · Date: June 20, 2011 08:42 AM · On: Resolve and Rescue
wow what a chapter--description, description, description--girl this is your claim to fame. what a powerhouse you are. this chapter is another one of your best. well worth the wait. next ones will be getting to know you better now that most of the angst has subsided. you go girl!! a blue ribbon, so worth it. this story is so deserving. still home. this cold has gotten in my bones, i fear. doctor says i have to stay home a few more days. am going nuts--not used to being this idle. talked to bb on the phone a while ago. expect his review later. he's still busy. looks cologne is on for ist week in june 2012. off to take my meds and some sleep. what's next in your inventory??? lol
Author's Response: Hello, my friend, I was worried about you! So sorry to hear the cold has dragged you down, but I hope you get the rest you need and deserve.:) Thanks for taking the time to read! And you're right - the boys will have to get much better acquainted now (wink, wink...). Not quite sure yet what to do with the killer - try him, make him insane (I'm kind of leaning toward that), but at any rate I have to explain his motives in future chapters. At least I think I might be able to limit how long the next one is. I kept writing this one and couldn't get to a good stopping point - I knew I would get killed if I didn't rescue Gus first - LOL! Yes, I noticed the date in June for the convention - I hope the promoter is able to carry it off successfully - having all the main cast there can't be very cheap but it would be oh so worth it! Only problem is that I have a feeling it's the day AFTER my students graduate and it's a 13-hr flight over there! Would it be tacky to take one of my personal days and miss graduation? Don't laugh! I can see it coming! I would be royally ticked off if I couldn't go!! Anyway we'll have to see. I DO have some new story ideas in my head (of course!), but they will have to wait until I can get at least one (and hopefully two of my WIPs) done first. Thanks again for the kind words - get well soon!:)

I really don't know what to say about this chapter ... this was so GOOD * deep bow * brilliant . It really deserves the  . This story should be filmed. I would like to see it at the cinema.
Think I must re-read the chapter, maybe I missed some words * blushes *. I was reading so fast.
* hugs *
Author's Response: Wow, Marny, if you could see me I'D be blushing right now! Thanks so much for the review! I'm thrilled that you enjoyed it.:) I would LOVE to see ANY movie version of QAF as long as our two favorite boys were in it (sigh...). Thanks again for reading and for the feedback; stay tuned - the boys are about to get to know each other a LOT better (wink, wink), and I still have the pesky issue of just what to do with our killer (is he sane or not?). Thanks again, my friend.:)

I am impressed as always, great suspense building and such a great rescue of little Gus. This story is brilliant! -Benny
Author's Response: Aww....thanks, Benny! You're very kind.:) I'm glad you liked the chapter. I figured it was finally time to rescue the little guy.:) Now that he's safe and sound, it's time to concentrate on the BIG boys - ha! Thank you so much for reading and for the kind words. I've got more chapters to come detailing the killer's background and Brian's attempt to 'properly' thank the man who was responsible for saving his son's life. I hope you'll continue to read along. Thanks again, my friend!:)
Reviewer: Cheryl (Anonymous) · Date: June 20, 2011 01:25 AM · On: Resolve and Rescue
Does goosebumps explain how this chapter was going? Glad that Brian and Justin made it to Gus in time. When will the next chapter be ready? I need more!
Author's Response: Aww...thanks, Cheryl! I can't think of a greater compliment than you want more of it!:) I'm glad you liked it, and as promised, little Gus is now safe and sound. Brian will need to reassure himself that his son is okay, but once he does - watch out, Justin! I think some proper 'gratitude' is definitely in order...(wink, wink...). Thanks so much for the comment and for reading, Cheryl - I'm very appreciative!:)
Reviewer: Kacey (Anonymous) · Date: June 20, 2011 01:05 AM · On: Resolve and Rescue
Great job building the suspense during their search for the farmhouse. Didn't think I could take much more when Justin finally discovered the metal pole, thank goodness. Kept reminding myself that you had forewarned us that Gus would be okay. Poor Justin--having to experience feeling the perpetrator. Creepy. Can't wait to see how you wrap this up. Perhaps you will consider a sequel for this...all kinds of possibilities here, I think.
Author's Response: Thanks for the comments, Kacey! Can always count on you to leave me your thoughts, and I really appreciate that! Yes, I don't think he'll quite be able to forget everything that has happened, even with Gus's rescue, but I'm sure that Brian can help 'comfort' him, don't you think? (wink, wink...). Not sure about a sequel, but if it's any consolation, I'm definitely NOT done with this....I want to expose the killer's motives as well as resolve what will happen to him. Most importantly of all, though, it's time for some good, old-fashioned "TLC." Speaking of which, I'm off to THAT story now - thanks so much for reading and reviewing, my friend.:)

I found the update in the morning. I almost get up and left the office but then I thought twice and stay.....lol. I absolutely love this chapter. Who knows what Justin find out about his "gift" next.
Waiting for the next chapter
Mariana
Author's Response: Hi, Mariana! So glad you checked back and liked the latest chapter! Thanks so much for the feedback! Yes, Brian will have to properly 'thank' his little psychic in the upcoming chapters. We will also find out more about the killer's motives as well.:) (I had the same thought about Justin, BTW - if he's psychic, I wonder if he can 'envision' what Brian is about to do next; if he can, he'd probably be blushing right about now - ha!) Maybe it's best, then, for his sake that it be a surprise instead.:) Thanks again for the feedback, my dear, I really appreciate that!:)

God. What a nail-bitter!! So glad Gus is okay, and I really want to know what Carruthers' story is. And then I'm sure Brian will want to personally thank Justin for helping.
I think this is your most gripping story, darling! Can't wait for the resolution!
Author's Response: Aw...thanks so much, Megan Rose! I was worn out by the end of it, too! LOL! And I'm sure that Brian will be grateful to Justin....VERY, VERY grateful (wink, wink...). Of course, as much as I'd like to I just can't have them jump into bed in the next chapter (as tempting as that may be....). But not to fear, we will get there eventually. Thanks so much for reading and leaving me feedback!:)

I have been eagerly awaiting this chapter and you didn't disappoint! I am kinda glad that Carruthers lived (only because I want to know more of his story). A real nail biter even though I knew Gus would be OK. Now to the Justin/Brian lovin?
Author's Response: Hi, Pam! Of course! You know Brian has to express his 'gratitude' - LOL! I wonder if Justin can 'see' that coming, too - ha! I'm so glad you're following the story and liked the chapter. And you will find out more about the killer's motives in chapters to come. Thanks so much for reading and reviewing.:)
Reviewer: 4depthoflove (Signed) · Date: June 19, 2011 09:31 AM · On: Resolve and Rescue
Oh, my goodness! I am sitting here reading this, literally on the edge of my seat, and my family is hysterical. They are used to me yelling at the TV and getting emotionally involved when something is this exciting, but rarely do I have this reaction when reading on the compy. I was jumping, clapping my hands on the desk, and nervously calling out to Brian and Justin as they approached the farmhouse, and then Brian as he entered in.
Outstanding writing! (we expected nothing less)
So, now that my heart is pounding, my pulse is racing, and my blood pressure is up - how long do we have to wait until there is something much more 'life affirming' to read to elicit these strange symptoms I am having! lol
I know the other stories come first, and truth be told I am almost as anxiously awaiting the next installment of those as well. Hurray for summer breaks for teachers. It couldn't have come at a better time.
Updates on all soon, right?
loving life,
Charle
Author's Response: Hi, Charle! You're very kind - thank you for the lengthy feedback - it's great! I had to laugh when you mentioned your family's reaction to the story.:) I'm glad I had that effect on you - it's very flattering but I imagine you were getting some strange looks from your family all the same.:) Not to fear - as I mentioned in a couple of review comments previously, as soon as Brian knows his son is going to be okay, he can start expressing his 'appreciation' the Brian Kinney way (yum....)! And I will definitely be updating all the stories regularly as usual; it should actually be a little faster, too! I'm even taking a netbook with me in July when I see Randy in Tommy so I can keep writing at night during the week (I know, I'm crazy, but I'm also hoping for a photo or two to download...). Thanks so much for your continuing readership and support of my story! And now I believe it's onto some "Tender Loving Care." Thanks again, my friend.:)

Please update RIGHT NOW....lol
Author's Response: Aww....thanks, Mariana! I'm very flattered you liked it so well!:) It's quite different from most of my other stories, that's for sure! Thank you so much for reading what I have so far! I promise to update this very soon; I'm a first-year teacher and I just got my summer vacation (I think I'm going to LIKE that perk - ha!), so that should definitely give me extra time to update faster.:) I hope you'll stay tuned for a few days until I can get the next chapter posted.

This is so enthralling. I feel like I am watching a movie or a syndicated crime show. Superb writing as usual. I am excited to see this killer get caught, and of course Brian and Justin to have some alone time under much better circumstances. -Benny
Author's Response: Hi, Benny! Always great to hear your thoughts - you're such a boost to my writer's ego.:) Thank you so much for the kind words - this is definitely a departure from my 'normal' stories, but the idea of playing Brian's fear for the son he loves against his cynical beliefs was too good to pass up. I'm so glad you're enjoying the story. Trust me, once Gus is safe and sound, the boys will definitely be getting to know each other better (wink, wink...). And I'm not quite sure yet what to do with the killer - I'm actually a little sympathetic to him (is that weird?), so I'm torn between just doing him in or having him arrested and sent to a mental facility or something.... I know what BRIAN would do if he gets his hands on him. That's going to be my big dilemma I have to analyze in my head....hope you'll stay tuned for the next chapter. I should have it up pretty soon since I'm off from teaching for the time being (yay!). Thanks again for all your support.:)

Author's Response: Hi, Sandra! I'm flattered you thought enough of my story to lose sleep over it (that's not where your user name came from, is it? LOL!). Thanks for the kind words; looks like we think alike.:) Obviously the next chapter will be the important one as far as rescuing little Gus.

Author's Response: OMG, I wouldn't know what to do if that man showed up when I was there! I heard he's even more gorgeous in person if that's possible! Thanks for keeping my hopes alive that he might show up that week. I know he has come to those before, and obviously Randy reciprocates, so I can hardly wait! I'm sure all the fans have a "Gale Alert" out for that man next month - ha! BTW - Gale looked uber sexy in the preview for TSC - evil but very sexy all the same! Yum! Thanks for the information.:)

Author's Response: Hi, Kemma! Thanks as always for the feedback! I also enjoyed always seeing the tender moments between Gus and his dad - I was just watching that horrid last episode (just the B & J parts, of course) where Brian and Gus are rehearsing his role as ringbearer.

Author's Response: Hi, lindc! Hi, peeps! Hi, Dean! Don't worry about getting too wordy - your comments are always a joy to read and so entertaining - I love hearing your thoughts! I would like to actually hear you read one of the chapters to the peeps out loud - I'm sure you do it proper justice.:) Tell Brian I'm glad he's liking the story so well. I might just have to update this one right away - today is my last day of teaching - yay! - and many readers are biting their nails (at least figuratively) until I post the next chapter. Obviously, the next one is going to be the pivotal chapter as far as rescuing Gus.....I'm glad you'll still be going to see Randy. Did you see where Scott mentioned they were all together over the weekend for a barbecue? And that there might be a QAF convention in Germany next year with ALL the cast members? That would be so great! And you're right - I would die if any of them showed up to see Randy in Tommy the same night I was there! Okay - back to school now - tell BB I'll work on his request.:)

Okay, I don't think I'll be able to sleep now. Can't remember being this tensed up reading a story before. So, so creepy and distressing to think of Gus in the hands of that maniac. Thank goodness Justin was able to remember. Once again, I guess I'll be chewing away at the fingernails until your next update. Excellent story-telling.
Author's Response: (Sigh.....) I know - it was either end it where I did or not get it posted at all tonight, and I figured 8,000+ words was better than nothing at all - LOL! Hang in there - the next chapter's going to be the pivotal one for little Gus but he WILL get through it none the worse for wear. Once he's safe, Brian can 'properly' thank his little psychic (wink, wink....). Thanks for reading, Kacey! And now I'm off for some other type of "TLC" in the next story - Justin's going to get a surprise in that one.:) Thanks for the feedback as always - I really appreciate that.:)

Thanks for the double update!
Author's Response: Hello, Fei! Thanks for reading and for the update! I have to divert temporarily back to the other stories in fairness to those readers (I've almost got the next part of "Tender Loving Care" ready), but rest assured - I will be updating this just as soon as possible and I will definitely finish it. One of my biggest disappointments is when I get really caught up in a story, only to discover that it was never completed; you won't have to worry about that with me.:) Thanks again for reading and reviewing - I am greatly appreciative.:)
Reviewer: jacknalecsmom (Signed) · Date: May 30, 2011 12:44 AM · On: Desperation Makes Strange Bedfellows
Loved it! So suspenseful and a very different Brian/Justin story. The angst is palpable. So glad to know that Gus will be ok but not sure how you will accomplish that at this point. Seems like Justin needs to sleep to get more clues and I don't see that happening. Hypnosis maybe? Update soon please...
Author's Response: Hi, Pam! Thank you so much for reading and for the review!:) As far as how Gus wil be found, don't want to give all of it away, but just to give you a hint, Justin HAS had occasional 'visions' while awake as well. And I HAVE considered hypnotism, which might work, but with the time constraint (24 hrs. normally with this killer), I don't know how practical that would be. So.....I guess it comes down to what my fertile imagination comes up with for the next chapter. I appreciate you taking the time to read and especially review - I hope you will continue to read and let me know what you think. I do have a few WIPs going on right now that I normally update in the same order, but I can assure you I WILL complete this one just like I have all my others - I'm very anal about making sure I do that. So I will definitely be updating this one regularly AND completing - thanks again!:)

Author's Response: Hi, Evelyne! Delighted to see some more comments from you! Thank you for continuing to read along. Yeah, normally I wouldn't picture Brian as the 'begging' type, but I see this as quite different for him. He has never the child he loves so deeply in such peril, and I think that would bring out a different side to him. He always WAS much more open with his emotions when his son was involved. That being said, though, as soon as his son is out of danger, a certain blond better watch out. But I couldn't think of a better way to get a 'thank you' than from Brian Kinney, could you? LOL! Thanks again for reading, my friend.:)

This chapter blew me away. It was so realistic and appropiately angsty.
I nearly cried with Brian by the end of the chapter.
This is so different form what you have written before. I didn't know you did edgy.
GREAT CHAPTER!!!
Author's Response: Wow - thank you so much, Sandra, I am very flattered by your kind comments.:) Yeah, except for "Double Jeopardy," which definitely had a lot of darkness to it, this is quite a departure from what I normally write. The idea just came to me one day and I thought the two roles for Brian and Justin fit them perfectly, so I decided to run with it. The only part I wasn't so sure about was writing about Gus being in danger, but I felt it was necessary to bring out the emotions I wanted to express in Brian's character. Thank you so much for reading and reviewing - I will be updating this just as soon as I can and it WILL be finished.:)

Woah this story is sooooooo amazing. Intense, heartbreaking, and extremely well written. I am glad Brian finally conceded to ask Justin for help. -Benny
Author's Response: Aw.....thank you so much for your kind words Benny! I'm so thrilled that you like the story. I promise to update this soon - hope you will continue to read; obviously the next few chapters should be quite revealing as well as dramatic. Thanks again for reading and especially taking the time to review - I am very appreciative.:)

home at last. am very tired but happy to be here. sis is coming along nicely. she said she would be coming to visit this summer sometime so looking forward to that. i see bb reviewed, bless his heart. he's a keeper. i guess he missed me as my fill in was pathetic--his words. i don't know what exactly that means. will find out when i get back to work monday. this story is getting more intense and driving me batty. i feel so sorry for justin-this has to be somewhat resolved sooner than later. maybe next chapter will have some insight to where gus is. i feel badly for him-but he is sleeping and doesn't know what is happening yet. you are something else that's for sure. off to bed to get my (beauty) rest ha!ha! lol
Author's Response: I was wondering about you, my dear; so glad you got back safely and so happy to hear your sister's doing well.:) And I know Brian is elated, I'm sure, that you will be back to work soon. Sounds like at least you have a couple of days off to recuperate a little - I hope you can get some rest now. I'm working on the next chapter of "TLC." Brian, poor thing, is still trying to get Justin into a 'supine position,' shall we say, but he's having a HARD time (and not in a good way - LOL!). But rest assured - he's slowly wearing "Florence" down! Yes, BB did a good job of reviewing while you were gone - he had me laughing at some of his comments.:) Tell him he was a good replacement for you, but glad you're back! Get some rest and I'll look forward to more of your comments.:)

I have been trying to avoid this story. If I start reading alot I stp writing and I need to keep writing. The suspense was killing me so I read the first chapter. I am hooked. You have pulled me in. I mean what's up wih the heart? Will this be the frst case Justin as ever worked on? God will poor Gus be a victim? On to the next.
Author's Response: Hello, my friend! I certainly know how hard it is to love to read about the boys and write the stories at the same time! I should say I'm sorry I got you hooked, but I'm still flattered.:) Hope it doesn't interfere too much with your own stories - LOL! If it's any consolation, I won't be posting another chapter for at least a few days so maybe you can at least get caught up. Thanks for reading and leaving me feedback - I appreciate that. I'll go hide now in case your readers want to blame me for any delays - ha!:)

MY GOD WOMAN YOU ARE INCESSANT IN YOUR CLIFF HANGERS. I KNOW , IN YOUR DEFENSE, THIS IS THE MARK OF A GREAT WRITER. THIS YOU ARE. I KNOW NEXT CHAPTER WILL HAVE JUSTIN HELPING BRIAN WITH MAYBE A FEW MORE CLUES FORTHCOMING. THAT BEING SAID--YOU REALLY SHOULD WRITE A BOOK LINDC WILL BE BACK TOMORROW-THANK GOD. WE MISS HER-YOU NEVER REALLY KNOW WHAT YOU HAVE TIL IT'S GONE. SHE'LL GET A KICK OUT OF THAT COMMENT, I FEAR. FILLING IN WITH SUBS SOMETIMES IS NOT THE GLUE WE NEED TO DO OUR JOBS PERFECTLY. LATER
Author's Response: Hey, Brian! I got a kick out of your comments - LOL! I know, I know - I always seem to find the worst part to end this chapters with, don't I? Glad to hear lindc is due back today. Tell her I missed her, too! I'm sure she'll be glad to get back home but will still be worried about her sister. And you are correct, BTW, about the next chapter. It's not like some light will suddenly go on and everything will become crystal clear regarding Gus' whereabouts (to Brian's extreme frustration), but it WILL draw them closer together and will provide some clues as to where he is. Thanks for pinchhitting for lindc while she's gone - I've enjoyed your feedback! And now it's off to Leroy and Florence's 'dinner date' - only question is , who's going to get to 'eat' first - ha!

Imagine my glee and joy at finding two updates tonight when I've finally been able to get online. This is definitely a special treat.
Hmm, does the last line in the last update mean Brian is willing to at least start believing Justin? Is a tentative alliance starting to be formed? I certainly hope so.
You're building such wonderful angst and suspense, sweetie. See you at the next update!
Author's Response: Thanks, Daphne! Glad you like the suspense and angst - I really could stand to write a light-hearted story for a change - I really DO know how to do those, too! LOL! You're very peceptive - that is precisely what is about to happen. Brian is going to have to rely on Justin if he hopes to find his son in time. Once that happens, I think he'll find out something else - that he is becoming attracted to our little psychic. I don't really see it being a very quick thing, though - they will have some bonding to do first. But we all know where it will lead eventually - we don't have to be psychic to figure THAT out - LOL! Thanks so much for reading and reviewing.:P)

Help him, help him. It is going to be hard to wait for the next chapter. I really hate to think of that creepy guy going through his ritual with Gus. You were not kidding when you indicated that things would be intense for a while until they got better. Again, I'm glad to know in advance that Gus will be okay. Guess I'll go chew on my fingernails in the meantime. As always, great job!
Author's Response: Hi, Kacey! Always a pleasure to hear your thoughts, but I hope you have some fingernails left when you get done - LOL! Yes, I tried not to make the scenes with Gus too graphic - I can only handle so much with that - I have no intention of harming that guy.:) Thanks very much for reading and for the review - I promise to update soon. In the meantime, I'm concentrating on the 'date' between Leroy and Florence in "TLC." Hope to have that one posted very soon.:)

God. If that was supposed to help save my fingers, you failed miserably! :)
The torture Brian (and Justin) must be going through is horrendous!! Can't take much more of the agony, bb!! They must find Gus quickly!!
Can't wait!
Author's Response: (Sigh.....) I know, I know.....bad, Kimberly, bad girl! LOL! I had to make an 'executive decision' where to end it and unfortunately it was either end it there or write probably another 7 - 10,000+ words and my fingers (and work hours) were annoyingly intruding.....As I mentioned earlier, though, I'm in the process of writing about Leroy's and Florence's date in TLC if that helps! And I DO have a three-day weekend coming up and then, yay! Summer vacation in two weeks! I'm even planning on taking my netbook with me in July when I go to Massachusetts to see Randy perform in Tommy so I can keep writing! So I am dedicated to updating these just as fast as my fingers and vivid imagination will let me - LOL! Thanks so much, though, for your (not so patient) patience and comments - that is what keeps me writing these things! Thanks again.:)

Author's Response: Thank you so much, Morgan! I'm so delighted you like it. I'm actually going to break for once from my normal rotation schedule and post another chapter of this later today; I hope the other readers won't mind. It still won't resolve Gus' situation, but it will definitely be getting closer. Thanks so much for reading and reviewing - I really appreciate that!:)

just a note to thank you for your prayers for my sister. they moved her to a room from icu. she was hit on the drivers side. she has a broken arm and some broken ribs. they put her in icu because her head hit the side of the door jamb and she was unconscious for a while. she will be fine, but they are keeping her here for a few days to monitor her. i borrowed a laptop from one of the nurses. so to keep me sane while we were waiting for updates i read. it keeps me grounded and keeps my mind busy with other things. this story is gripping and i'm glad to see another chapter is forthcoming. bb reviewed, i'm so proud of him. i miss my peeps. i'll probably go home in a couple days. again thanx lol
Author's Response: Hi, lindc! So glad to hear your sister's going to be okay!:) And I'm glad you found a laptop so you could catch up with the stories.:) Yes, you would be proud of BB - he filled in for you like a real champ.:) I have decided to go against my normal posting routine for this one time and write one additional chapter to this story before moving on since readers seem anxious for it. I've already got part of it written already but it may be a day or two before I finish it.:) Take care and again, I'm very relieved about your sister!

I think I've decided to go ahead and add another chapter due to the intense interest in what happens next; hopefully the readers of the other stories won't mind this one time.:) I'll probably post it first before I go onto the next stories in rotation.

This chapter definately did not disapoint! It was very tense to say the least.
Brian's reactions were very believable.
I can't wait for the next chapter.
Author's Response: Thank you, my friend.:) I'm very glad you liked it. I know it's hard to see the boys at odds like this; but in the next chapter Brian will begin to lean on Justin for help because he will realize that his time is running out to find his son. I am actually writing that chapter now because I think the readers want to know sooner rather than later what is happening. Then it will be back to my regular rotation on the stories.

SHE SAID TO READ AND REVIEW FOR HER WHILE SHE IS GONE. SO HERE GOES.. THIS CHAPTER WAS NOT LONG ENOUGH. I KNOW IT WAS A DIFFICULT ONE FOR YOU AS THIS THEME IS PAINFUL AND REVOLTING AT THE SAME TIME. YOU DID A GOOD JOB LEE AND I THINK. POOR JUSTIN NOT BEING BELIEVED IS KILLING HIM. SOMETHING COMING UP TO DISCREDIT BRIAN'S SUSPICION OF HIM?? DON'T KNOW WHEN OUR FEARLESS READER WILL BE BACK, HOPEFULLY SOON AS OUR SUB IS PATHETIC. LATER BB
Author's Response: LOL! Sorry to hear about your 'replacement,' BB! And VERY sorry to hear about lindc's sister - I hope she will be okay; let me know, will you? Tell her I'll be praying for her sister's quick recovery. Thanks, too, for pinchhitting for her while she's gone. I may have to udpate this story right away out of the normal rotation because quite a few readers are chomping at the bit on this one, so stay tuned.:) Thanks again for taking the time to review - let lindc know I'm thinking about her.:)

Talk about being on the edge of your seat. I raced through this, even though I hate to think of Gus in the hands of that twisted person. Angst overload. Brian's fear for his son really came through. Now it is up to Justin to provide the clues they need to find Gus. Can't wait to read what's next. Great job!
Author's Response: Aw, thanks, Kacey! It was noticeably quiet review wise after I wrote this very difficult chapter - I was afraid I had turned everyone off with the somber content, so I'm glad at least that you're still hanging in there - LOL! I had to get through this part to start bringing the boys closer together in the next one, so I hope everyone will hang in there until I can. Thanks so much for reading and all the encouragement - that means a lot to me!:)

Oh, God, poor little Gus! I'm not a parent (yet), but I can't imagine what Brian, Linds and Mel are feeling. And poor Justin, feeling so responsible when he's just as much a victim. I knew Brian would lash out at Justin, but Daph's right; he's a convenient target.
You are killing me here, bb!! I need more of TLC now to conteract the angst!
Author's Response: Hi, Megan Rose! I know - I had a hard time writing this one, but I had to do the subject matter justice and treat it seriously. After this chapter, though, I think the tide will turn as Brian had to depend upon Justin to help save his son. After he knows he is safe, though, his feelings for this courageous blond will change and deepen. Hope you'll be staying tuned - thanks for the feedback!:)
Reviewer: Patya (Anonymous) · Date: May 19, 2011 08:30 PM · On: The Crime Becomes Personal Now
Can´t wait more! When Brian is going to fall in love with Justin?
Author's Response: Hi, Patya! Sorry I didn't respond earlier - overlooked it unintentionally. As you will see from the current chapter, it's going to take a little while yet. After the next (current) chapter, Brian is going to start turning more to Justin as he begins to panic over finding his son in time. That in turn will lead to deeper feelings being developed, but not until Brian knows his son is safe. It WILL bond the boys closer together, though. Hope you'll stay tuned until then - thanks so much for reading and reviewing.:)
Reviewer: Kacey (Anonymous) · Date: May 18, 2011 03:14 PM · On: The Crime Becomes Personal Now
Oh no! Gus! I'm glad to know in advance that he will be okay. You've really ratcheted up the tension in this chapter. I love your protective, feisty Daphne. Hope she can help Brian to open his mind to the possibility that Justin is telling the truth. Well done. Looking forward to more.
Author's Response: Thanks as always for reading and reviewing, Kacey! Yes, the next few chapters should be quite tense as Brian fights with his conflicting emotions regarding his son and the only man who can save his child's life. Stay tuned - it's going to get pretty tense here! (But just think of how that emotion will have to erupt later - yum!).:)
Reviewer: Megan Rose (Signed) · Date: May 18, 2011 07:13 AM · On: The Crime Becomes Personal Now
I knew it! Poor little Gus, they better get to him in time! Brian is going to go ballistic. There's no way he's not going to think Justin isn't involved now. But hopefully, he'll take Justin seriously from now on (after they rescue Gus, of course).
I am on the edge of my seat, darling!!! BTW, I did review the last chapter in Colour Me Green as well.
Author's Response: Hi, Megan Rose! You're so wonderful about leaving me reviews and I am so appreciative!:) I'm delighted that you're continuing to follow my stories and am enjoying this one.:) Obviously, Brian will be fighting a range of emotions in the next chapter as they battle against each other over his concern for his son. At least I believe Justin will have a way to prove he wasn't involved with the actual abduction; whether Brian will actually believe that, though, remains to be seen. I am currently updating "TLC" - got quite a bit of the next chapter done, but looks like it won't post until tomorrow. I just got the boys inside the loft for dinner, so we're not even at the 'good' part yet - ha! Thanks again for all your support - looking forward to more of your thoughts.:) I am able to update a little faster now that I'm down to only 4 WIPs, so that is good! Stay tuned.:)

Hi there. Sorry I haven't posted a comment since chapter 1 but I have read every chapter and love each and every one. Justin's situation, I think, is just like Cassandra in Greek mythology - he can predict bad things about to happen but no one believes him. I just hope Brian will realise Justin can help if poor Gus is the serial killer's next victim. Keep up the good work :)
Author's Response: Wow - thank you so much for the thoughtful comment and letting me know you're enjoying the story! So glad you like it.:) Brian will find himself in a flood of emotions in the next chapter as he's torn between frantically trying to find his son and having to depend upon a man whose unusual 'gift' he does not believe in. Hope you keep reading and will let me know your thoughts going forward - thanks again for taking the time to review - I really appreciate that!:)

You are really cruel to stop this chapter like that.
I look forward to the confrontation between Brian and Justin but especially Daphne and Brian.
Good job !

Wow! - Talk about a cliff hanger! I am kind of glad that I read through some of the other reviews right after reading this chapter. Knowing that Gus will not be harmed at all let's me know that Brian is about to become more open minded about Justin's abilities. Of course, with his own son as the one in danger, we all know that he will move heaven and earth - and do whatever it takes to keep him safe. Brian in his protective mode, open and vulnerable, is probably when he is his sexiest - even though the passion and heat will obviously need to wait until after the crisis is over, much like in TLC. Please don't keep us waiting - things are about to get really edge-of-our-seats riveting - my heart is pounding!
Author's Response: Thank you for reading and for leaving your thought-provoking comments!:) I may go ahead and update this one before the others - I normally keep them all in the same order, but I may make an exception here due to the circumstances.:) I agree with you about Brian - for someone who appeared to be so one-sided on the outside, he was anything but when you got to see how complex he actually was, especially when those he cared about the most were involved. Thanks for reading - I promise to get this updated ASAP.

OMG you have to write another chapter on this story next. please don't go to another one. one more here. BB was so wrapped up in my reading--i couldn't read it fast enough. he asked me to ask you to write another here next. he's gone to take a shower and a nap as we have more ops in a couple hours-otherwise he would have commented. he said thanks for the dedication. he feels special (his words), this story is so well written, we are all really waiting for more. not to make you feel any pressure on our requests or anything. ha ha the party went well, we were all sad til i began reading and now all is well in our little family minus one. off to rest before the next onslaught. luv this 1. lol a big 10 plus
Author's Response: Hello, my special friends.:) Tell Brian I'm glad he liked the dedication.:) I know - that was an AWFUL place to stop, wasn't it? I purposely didn't make Gus' actual abduction very specific - I felt I could get the point across without doing that. and it IS a pretty sensitive issue. But he'll be sleeping through the whole thing - don't worry - I'll take good care of him. But I CAN guarantee this guy's going to remain on the creepy side (not regarding Gus specifically, though) - I think he's taking lessons from Prescott - LOL! Thanks as always for the comments - always love to hear what you all have to say.:) Tell BB I'm thinking about his request - may just have to make an exception to the 'update stories in the right order' procedure!

please, update when you can!!! as i remember (since i am a huge fan of The X files ) there was an episode from the popular cult serial The X files , called " Paper hearts",and this story reminds of the story line in the serial , frankly speaking i cannot remember what exactly happened in the episode( it was more than 10 years ago!!!) ....but anyway i am curious about the course of things that may happen here....... best regards:evelyne
Author's Response: Thank you so much, Evelyne! You're the first person to make that connection between this and the "X Files" episode. I was actually surprised no one else noticed it. You and I have a lot in common, BTW; we both discovered this wonderful show after it went off the air - I found it somehow on YouTube and I was hooked.:) I don't really recall the entire plot of "Paper Hearts" either, although I remember Mulder's sister figured in it (of course, it seemed like he saw her everywhere anyway - ha!). Loved that show, too, at the time.:) I DID used the premise of the hearts as my killer's calling card - I was wracking my brain to come up with one and this one came to mind. Anyway, I digress - LOL! You will find I'm religious about updating regularly in the order of which one is up next. I will be updating this one soon - I think it's up next after "My Heart's Desire." I CAN tell you that while Gus will not be harmed, he WILL be needed to force Brian to join up with Justin, which will draw them closer together. The next few chapters promise to be pretty tense! Thanks again for taking the time to read and review - I'm very appreciative.:)

I really love this story. Hihi were you thinking of "The who's Tommy" !?
Maybe I'm the only one but, I feel a little sorry for Tommy's father. Losing his wife and only son. But I think that there are already enough young boys in heaven (by illness and accidents). Don't kill more boys ... please.
* hugs *
Author's Response: Hi, Marny! Okay, you got me! I think that was probably in the back of my mind when I was coming up with the name of the killer's son - LOL! I can't wait to see him perform in person - Randy has a beautiful voice (and the rest of him isn't bad, either - ha!). As for any more murders, Gus is the next target, but as I have mentioned frequently so far, he is NOT going to be harmed!! I would not do that to him and there's no way Brian and Justin would ever be close if that happened. I need him to advance the story, but he'll be fine....stay tuned, though; as you can imagine, it's going to be quite tense for a while!:)

Brian as detective is one of my favorite AUs and you are writing it so well. So frustrating that no one really believes in Justin's vision, although at least Carl is open to it. You have me wondering why Justin saw the events after the fact, instead of before as he usually does. Totally twisted perpetrator...hope he meets an appropriate fate soon. This story is gripping...looking forward to more.
Author's Response: Thank you, Kacey, for your continuing support and feedback - I'm very pleased you're following the story! I promise not to hurt the little guy - I just need him as an effective plot device to bring the boys closer together. Needless to say, though, the next few chapters are going to really be a roller coaster ride! So glad you'll be reading along - thanks again for the kind words - I greatly appreciate that!:)

Amazing chapter! I seriously got chills at the end when the serial killer was watching Brian and Gus -- c.r.e.e.p.y! Also, weird side note: were you referring to Helio Castroneves? I've actually met him a few times at races (I grew up literally about 5 minutes away from the Indianapolis Motor Speedway where the Indy 500 is run so I've gone to the 500 for years). Super nice guy and super hot (also super short, but who cares!). Just had to ask! Looking forward to the next chapter, as always!
Author's Response: Hi, Kemma - Thanks for the review! Yes, that is who I was referring to - I'm actually not a race fan, per se, but I remember him from 'Dancing with the Stars" - LOL! Very cute guy! And I guess if I creeped you out, I did my job in that last chapter.:) Gus is about to be put into danger, but do not fear - I will not harm one hair on his head, I'm just going to scare the living daylights of his dad! Got to get these boys closer together somehow! Thanks again for reading and reviewing! Stay tuned - it's about to get really hairy.:)

HAVE SOME SLEEP TIME OFF SO THOUGHT I'D READ TO MYSELF FOR A CHANGE. THIS STORY IS QUITE A CHANGE FOR YOU--YES? I REALLY THINK IT IS MORE A MAN'S STORY--DON'T YOU THINK? SOME WOMEN ARE FAINT OF HEART WHEN IT COMES TO SERIAL KILLERS OF CHILDREN. I MUST SAY IT IS WELL WRITTEN AND CERTAINLY HOLDS MY INTEREST AS I AM INTRIGUED AS TO HOW SOMEONE CAN INJURE A CHILD IN ANY WAY FOR WHATEVER REASON. I KNOW IT WILL HAVE A GOOD CLEAR ENDING. I FEEL BADLY FOR JUSTIN AS NOONE BELIEVES IN HIS REVELATIONS. THIS IS A FACT THOUGH AND DOCUMENTED THAT IT OCCURS FOR WHATEVER REASON IN SOME PEOPLE. IT CAN BE A GIFT OR A HELL ON EARTH FOR THEM. JUST THOUGHT I'D GIVE YOU MY THOUGHTS ON THIS STORY. BY THE WAY I REALLY THINK IT'S WELL WRITTEN AND A VERY GOOD READ. MORE CHAPTERS ARE ON THE WAY OR ARE WE DIVERTING TO TLC HMMM!!
Author's Response: How great to hear from one of the "Peeps!" - LOL! Thanks for the comments, my friend! I had never thought of it as being a 'man's' story, but that makes sense.:) But you're right - it IS a departure from what I normally write, except for perhaps "Double Jeopardy," which is rather dark in spots. I knew the subject matter was going to be somewhat unpleasant, but I'm trying not to make anything too graphic - I think I can get the point across without doing that. Just the thought of Brian as a cynical detective and Justin as a gifted artist with this other ability came to me and I thought it was a perfect match for their characters. And Gus is the one person that Brian would be forced to seek help for from someone he doesn't quite understand. Obviously, the story's going to be quite intense in the next few chapters.:) Thanks for taking the time to review - I see lindc is rubbing off on you!:) Glad you guys are back home - I'm sure you are, too - and congrats on the commendation!:) P.S. "Double Jeopardy" is up next - I'm about to wrap that one up. And then I think it's off to "Operation Birthday" to finish that one as well.:) But don't worry - TLC is coming up shortly.:)

Hey... I'm so happy to read your update!! I hope nothing bad will hapen to Gus. Anyway, I'll be waiting for your next chapter. See ya!
Author's Response: Thank you for reading and for the review! And again, welcome to the site! Do not worry - Gus will be put in danger but I promise he will not be harmed. I would never do that to Brian's son - LOL! Thanks for following the story - I really appreciate that.:)

I am very much enjoying this fic - you are doing a great job of evolving the plot.
I am looking forward to the next chapter
Author's Response: Thank you so much! I'm very pleased you're enjoying it; I know - the guy's probably creeping a lot of people out, but I suppose that's the point.....don't worry, though, I'm not going to harm little Gus....he'll be a target to bring the boys closer together and will be in danger, but he'll come through it fine...:) Thanks very much for reading and leaving me feedback - I'm very appreciative.:)

can't believe gale is making out with her. lucky her!! a bit young tho. he must be having a mid-age crisis ha ha.. still waiting for fall and his vampire series. just wish he was on camera more. he is just too good to look at even if he is 11 years older. rambling again lol
Author's Response: That's okay - he has a way of doing that - LOL! He is one sexy looking man, isn't he? And I love the slight Southern accent! I'm with you, though - can't wait to see him in the new show! I think he's actually a warlock, though, instead of a vampire - but he can 'bite me' anytime he wants regardless - LOL! Okay, probably TMI - ha! Take care and get some rest!!

Author's Response: Hello, Dear - I'm glad you apparently are at least getting a little rest hopefully.:) I admit - I think the upcoming play probably was in the back of my mind while I was writing this - LOL! Oh, well, the name stuck for whatever reason. Thanks as always for leaving me the review - I really appreciate that. Now I'm off to see Gale in Hellcats! Take care, my friend.:) Say hi to the rest of the peeps for me.:)
