I can hardly wait for more updates! This story is so good thanks for all the excellet writing
Author's Response: Awwww that last comment made me all warm and fuzzy inside. :) Another update is coming your way as soon as I finish writing this sentence.

BY JOEY THEY'VE BEEN TAKEN BY JOEY YOU IDIOTS! But great chapter. Love how the thinking and detailing is. You are very good. Have you studied Criminal Justice or watched a lot of CSI or what to get such great details?
Author's Response: Bahahaha! Too funny! I have just watched a lot of Criminal Minds ... mostly because I enjoy watching Morgan (super hot! - LOL).

So now I need to know is Tony playing dumb and involved with this or is Joey the only bad guy on the team. Plus are there any dirty cops involved?
Author's Response: So many good questions! You will have to keep reading to find out. The answers will all be revealed soon enough.

See I KNEW that was gonna happen! Didn't I say the body gauard? Didn't I????? Woot I love when I am right:D Great chapter
Author's Response: Ha!! You did call out the bodyguards as being bad guys pretty early on. It's too bad that I have no prize for you. You will just have to be satisfied with your own self-satisfaction. LOL

Author's Response: Ahhhhh I'm so glad that you thought that the concert was amazing!! :D Was it worth your extraordinary long wait?? I sure hope that it was!

I think you did a great job of conveying the terror of the experience through Howie's reactions (or reflections, in his head) and his inability to offer any resistance to his captors.
I would have to agree with Howie that this is a bad situation--the fact that neither the villain nor her lackeys make any attempt to hide their identities or where they're going makes it certain they see this as a one-way trip for the Boys. At the same time, locking them up and leaving them to guess their fate seems to fit the police's profile in that she wants to make them suffer.
I liked how Kevin could be the strong one during the kidnapping, but Howie was the one to find words of reassurance once they were alone.
Can't wait for what's next! Nick, maybe? ;)
Author's Response: Thanks so much for the positive comments about Howie's terror (or internal sense of it anyways). :) You're right: their captor does not care one bit about showing her face. It can only mean bad things as far as the boys are concerned. I agree that Howie's assessment of them being in a "bad situation" is pretty fair.

Aww, I know this is going to sound funny coming from me, especially since you read "Hope" but I hate when the guys are tied up and held prisoner. Not that I hate it as far as a story cliche or anything, but more like the idea of them being that helpless. When I read about Howie's hands being tied up I actually cringed. The two of them being so vulnerable makes me antsy! And I'm sure I wouldn't be helping the situation any because when Kevin was going on about being so dumb I was thinking, "Uh...yeah you were kind of dumb!" LOL curious to see what that TV screen is all about and if the other three will be getting a message.
Author's Response: It does sound a bit strange considering the fact that you almost had Nick buried alive in Hope :P, but I suppose part of the writing process is pushing ourselves to write things that we're not really comfortable with. The thought of the guys actually being in such a situation makes me cringe as well. While I am enjoying writing this story, I'm definitely having a hard time putting the guys in a "bad" situation. We'll see how I hold up as things move along. On a side note, Kevin was pretty dumb. The clue was literally right in front of his face! OI!

Ok, I am definitely wracking my brain thinking of all the scenarios as to why the unsub has taken our boys. I fear for Howie and Kevin as they under a critical time period now. What's the max time? 24 or 48 hrs before its all downhill? Eh, anyways... Thanks for the update, I am looking forward to finding out the motives behind this kidnapping... Is it money? Its always about money, isn't it? Or at least seems that way. Haha. Just pure revenge? Maybe... I am excited to see though
Author's Response: I think the magic number may be 48 hours, but doesn't that only apply to children? I need to brush up on my detective knowledge. LOL I will leave you to keep questioning the motive behind the kidnapping. I don't want to give anything away just yet. :)

That website sounds like something fans would really do. There is a forum I am on and there is a thread just about the guys nipples. It wouldn't surprise me if people did do something this crazy honestly. I like how you presented the infformation to Brian Nick and AJ too. Brian trying to comfort Nick without words was pretty cute too. Great updates! Looking forward to more!
Author's Response: Ummmmm how does one devote an entire thread to nipples? What is the discussion about? Whose nipples are the nicest?? LOL I'm currently laughing away to myself and I'm sure the people around me think I'm a complete nut job!
Date: 06/09/14 02:11 pm Title: Chapter 30: Nick
Yay frick and frack again.
Author's Response: You know it!! My favourite pair! (Next to Brian and AJ) :)
Date: 06/08/14 07:13 am Title: Chapter 31: Brian
I found this to be a very thoughtful chapter. Or, maybe my impression is owing to how you portrayed Brian's extreme self-awareness throughout... which seemed fitting, given his previous issues you've alluded to and the detectives' theory that the guys' own conduct has somehow become a catalyst for the villain's psychotic behaviour.
I especially liked how you had Brian deliberately decide he didn't care. It's also great the way that Nick and AJ both grabbed onto him for support. He's definitely the 'leader' here, and more assertive in general: insisting that the detective tell them the information that has been withheld so far, for one thing.
The idea that the killer knew about and used Nick's doppelgänger to draw media attention makes sense in many ways; it certainly explains the shift in M.O. from apparently trying to kill them off one by one to now trying to round up the entire group.
Now with these clues about the villain's deliberate use of media and internet, as well as this supposed plan to have their suffering made public, I would assume she has some kind of livestreamed session in mind... Creepy.
In my opinion, how things go next will depend on whether the other detective or Joey returns to the house first. And maybe on Brian's headlock techniques. ;)
Just one thing: by 'rouse'--do you mean 'ruse'?
Well, I'm looking forward to finding out what's happening with Kevin and Howie... if we do get to find out. Great work!
Author's Response: I enjoyed hearing all of your suspicions about what is to come. I find the suggestion of a live-stream session to be especially interesting. You will have to wait and see if you're right. You're the second person to refer to Brian as the "leader" in this chapter. I like how people have developed that perception of him, although I'm not quite sure if it was my intention. LOL Maybe I will run with it ...
I do mean "ruse" ... as a Canadian I tend to add a "u" to everything. HAHA!
Date: 06/07/14 07:35 pm Title: Chapter 31: Brian
I admit I lol'd at the website. There are a few forums that could easily change their name to coincide with the one you came up with and some people who post on those forums are crazy enough to do something like that. I am honestly scared for the boys sometimes just based on how eerily attached some people are to one or all of the guys. Just yikes!! Well this should be interesting now, to see Joey try to cover this up without giving himself away. He's kind of a moron so it should be fun to watch. LOL
Author's Response: There's no doubt in my mind that some people in the fandom are a bit too obsessed. It seems crazy to me that people are able to develop such an unhealthy infatuation with their favourite celebrities, but I know that it happens all the time. Strange!
Date: 06/07/14 02:05 pm Title: Chapter 31: Brian
Yes! They finally got the news! and they even got it from the man who betrayed them. haha! damn that joey! im excited for your next update, there will be action to be done! Thank you for making this chapter very detailed. I love how AJ & Nick sticks close to Brian, as if they see him as an older brother in this moment. looks like these kids has got to stand up for themselves starting now. Im looking forward to your next chapter! :D
Author's Response: Finally!! It DID take them a long time to find out what's going on. You're right in the sense that it is time for the "kids" to stand up and take charge. We'll see how good of a job they do in the upcoming chapters.
Date: 06/07/14 02:26 am Title: Chapter 31: Brian
Oh boy.....they are in for a surprise when they find out joey is apart of it!!
Author's Response: I think referring to what they're in for as a "surprise" is an understatement. *evil laugh*
Date: 06/06/14 10:02 pm Title: Chapter 31: Brian
Argh, that lying bastard Joey! Shit is hitting the fan and fast. I like how this chapter kept building and building then bam, slammed the news right into the guys. If Howie was there... He'd pass out again. There's so many ways this story could go, how do you even decide what direction to go? Oh that's right, because you are talented. Blah, can I have just 2% of it? Hehe. Alrighty, super update! Just keeps getting better =D
Author's Response: HA! I am laughing like crazy over the idea of poor Howie passing out at the news! You can have 2% of my "talent" if you really want it. Although, I'm sure that you're more than talented yourself. :)
